“You know what, things occult-related such as spirits and whatnot, John, can’t hurt you as long as you believe that they can’t” – is a statement uttered when the average person more often than not that doesn’t know anything about the occult discusses things. These are the same types of people that claim that anything spiritual is nothing but superstition, mumbo jumbo and the likes. Is it true, even remotely? Obviously not to any sensible person. Why not, you might ask?
During the day, look up at the Sun in the sky; do you really think that the Sun even remotely needs any kind of acknowledgment from you in any way shape form and/or capacity? N-O. Bluntly put, the Sun doesn’t give a rats tiny ass about your thoughts, opinions and feelings etc. as a whole. Because it is not reliant upon your opinion or anything else pertaining to you. It is an independent body, and its effect on you as well as anything else that it affects, or that comes within its sphere of influence is factual and will always be so until God wills otherwise (just like everything else).
So is there any merit to the whole belief thing mentioned earlier? There is, but the average person doesn’t even remotely come close to having enough self-belief to the point where it will override factual reality. You need essentially Jesus levels of belief for that, which the average person obviously / needless to say does not even come close, not even remotely or microscopically etc. etc. etc. to having.
Where did this phrase come from? Or how did it originate? Simply out of fear, and not knowing how to defend themselves theologically or otherwise from all the negative effects of the occult, if applicable. It’s more of a delusion based on fearmongering.
Example of this bullcrap:
FYI, to avoid confusion: belief is crucial to the occult when it comes to practicing it obviously, even more so than the average thing. So just like anything in the world, you need to have a strong foundation of self-belief in order to accomplish anything, akin to mental conditioning, even for simple daily tasks such as driving etc. but just like I explained, this does NOT apply to being on the receiving end (unless you can at least figuratively speaking come close to what Jesus Christ explained).
