Beliefs

I was having a philosophical discussion  early this morning  with an online friend and have had a few of these  types of  discussions with  this same person  recently and to an observer it would seem  as if  we don't agree about anything and might wonder how we can be  friends.   It's  simple, really,  we think differently  and hold different  beliefs that are similar.  A belief is merely  the acceptance  of any statement  being true.  Look  it up, I  did and that is what it said. If I  accept that  statement  then it would be true for me.  And I  personally  believe  that  2 things that seem true can be true at the same time even if they are opposites.  I know that I  can feel  sadness and overwhelming  joy at the same time.

I have, since an early age,  proclaimed that I am a spiritual  being on a human journey because everything is  made of  energy and we come into the human form to experience everything we desire, desire being a human quality, since we have no need for anything  in pure energy form from which we come and later return to  after our human  body's  demise.  We come in with everything we need  and quickly  forget that fact so we're all basically  in school, all of us teachers and  all of us students  at the same time.  See how that works?  Two seemingly  opposite  things are true at the same time.

The belief that I  struggle with  most is randomness.  You can either believe that  everything is  random or that nothing is  random.  Most of the time I  think that  nothing is  random and that everything is  as it is for our highest good. We create it all with our beliefs,  with our very thoughts,  every bit of it.  That's what  gives us  our outlook on any given thing. It's forgetting  our spiritual  nature that causes emotions, at least I  believe it is  for me. Emotions are  another  human  quality. 
I was going  somewhere  with  this and my (human) train of  thought  has jumped the track.
