Every political movement, religion, philosophy has its beginning in the confident expression of a single belief.

Belief systems seem to be a natural part of our evolutionary process; however, do they arise from a situation needing a solution or do they create a situation that needs a solution?  Is the bush dangerous due to the brown snake or due to the beliefs about snakes?  Is fooling around and having fun going to affect the future or due to the beliefs about fooling around and having fun?  Do the expectations placed upon the snake or behaviour communicate a non-verbal suggestion to the snake or person as to how he should behave?  Is there a behind the scenes communication among creatures and humans that choreographs their interactions in accord with some resolution or expectations created by their beliefs?

Unfortunately, before the general population had a chance to ask those questions, someone discovered that belief systems were valuable.  As long as people could be made to feel a need for them, they could be traded for food, shelter or safety.  .. HOW TO DEAL WITH SNAKES AND BEHAVIOURS. 

The more attention drawn by it, the more often it is repeated.  Stay away from the Brown snake or wild horse or he might try to bite you, or kick you.  To be a good rider you need to fall off 100 times… mm where did that come from.  I guess I got a long way to go  lol…

When the belief is repeated, it spreads and acquires the status of knowledge.  As knowledge, it can be used to support further beliefs.  It’s not safe in the bush.  But WHY?  Brown snakes and wild horses live there.

Having fun and fooling around is very childish.  But WHY?  You will never amount to anything.

Thus, belief systems – bodies of knowledge begin to appear.

Motto a good snake is a dead snake and belt the living daylights of our kids will keep them in order.  

Over time:  Belief Systems were adopted by:
Families, individuals, tribes, and governmental organisations.  -  Group Economic survival.  Great organisations sold belief systems.  Architecture, art and science.

2. express your feelings beliefs calmly, repeat if necessary.  Such as “You are right and when I know more, I shall get back to you.”
3. take time to form a reply - ask for a moment to think – and say “I don’t have an answer for you right now, however when I do, I will get back to you”.
4. respect your dog’s opinions-repeat them to show you have heard.
