What can we believe?
I would discriminate between acquired or inherited beliefs - which are for the most part internalised frameworks through which we think and 'see' our self and world, and the beliefs we seek to add to ourself as if to become an identity that offsets, masks or solves our self-lack or self-conflicts.
Apart from both of those is what I step forth in acceptance of in active with-ness and worth-ship. The form of the belief is secondary to the qualities or virtue extended and shared in. Hence it operates as a vehicle or instrument for a communioned appreciation of a living moment, situation or opportunity for joy in life and thus for healing to the restored awareness of joy in being.
The power of the mind in beliefs is such that our safety from self-deceit is in our defencelessness or 'not knowing' such as to ask and receive answer rather than reactively strategise to pre-emptively judged situations. Power given to conflicted thought brings conflicting results. Garbage in; garbage out applies! If we are receiving a conflicted self and world, we have a basis of feedback to guide our curiosity. But guilting blame aborts the native movement of curiosity. So our inner gaslight is an active block to our own acceptance and awareness of truth - that is self-honest revelation - not any intellectual or mythical construct of claim or invoked belief.

There is always another way of seeing this.
Some point out the language of psyop persists its contagion, but another is the inversion of ego assumptions that frame us in self-depreciation.
An experience or indeed era of propagandised deceit is rising through our awareness.
Yet we live in God. I don't care if you don't like to use the word God - just feel directly into the awareness of existence as living this situation while thinking is given a rest.
What in our heart's honesty can we simply not believe? Even if the world (our adaptive survival) demands it?
What I am - (with you) is infinitely greater - than any framing of belief I might set forth to live and share the fruits of - but by living this step now I open perspective fin willingness for a greater embrace of all that I am - for you are part of my peace even if I May currently perceive you as a failure to meet my terms and conditions!
