Interesting. Faith and belief are in two different, yet mystically entwined, realms. My faith in God is in the background when I exhibit my beliefs about the world.

Currently I am studying Einstein's Entanglement papers... while I do that, I "realize " that not only is he correct, but that Hawking has determined that when the two particles meet in the universe, they disappear! Wow. Talk about suspending a prior belief!

Why have I stated such quantum mechanics in this thread? Because of belief. Quatum physics has proven that by believing a certain way about matter we change it to adhere to our beliefs! Another layman's term is the Observer Effect. What you THINK you will see, what you BELIEVE will happen makes it HAPPEN!

As for the manic stages you enter, I hope you can control them enough to create! Think of all the great people of history that created some of the world's finest... during a manic episode!
