If enough people believe in ghosts, Jesus, UFOs, or the devil, does it become real?

Answer 1

That's a very Jungian question. Like the collective unconscious--there are thoughtforms (archetypes) that all humans share, so that's why they all respond to folktales and stuff the same way.

Now, where did those archetypes come from? Did people believe in them individually until they became universal thoughtforms? Or were the thoughtforms implanted by whoever created the universe? Were they glitches in the original DNA that got handed down through mitochondria? Are they like instincts, like people being afraid of creepy-crawly bugs even though it's not really logical? Could we decide to come together and create new thoughtforms? Like, say, world peace. If enough people believed in it for long enough, would it become part of the collective unconsciousness? Or are we stuck with the garbage that's already in there? Is there even a collective unconscious?

Tough questions.

Answer 2

Well, I always believed going by how I 'feel', that is belief isn't it?
When I was really little I felt a presence of something 'unseen' I suppose. UFO's always had a weird feeling when mentioned but you can't believe in something unless see-or so I used to believe.
People see the devil as this red monster I think, but when I was a child and children are taught the real devil is in person=strangers, murderers etc.
So true, I lived in hell when was a child.
As a child I always had a feeling of 'being saved', just something but never knowing what it was- a love from this unseen presence
When I grew up I created images which came to me in my dreams, to show me EXACTLY the same thing I saw as a child while being saved. Not what I felt but what I saw, it's just that what I saw was catalogues of information for me to be able to create more from them-things I'm meant to share as I learn what it is for myself
I lived one and experienced the other that was to save me from the hell I was living.
It has all opened my mind so much to believe everything is possible until proved to be impossible, but it along with the path I walked showed me so much spiritually, a lot to be thankful for.
I have had experiences with the other side too, and even seen myself as if one so only strengthening my belief that I experience O.B.E

Answer 3

Well, enough people believed innocent villagers were witches back in the Salem Witch Trial days... so I'm gonna go with... yes, if enough people believe then somehow someone will come forth with "evidence" showing the existence of ghosts, Jesus, UFOs, and or the Devil....

Answer 4

ya know thats a great question i think so of course there are gods or goddesses we all look up to and and as for ufo's i guess whose to say we are the only ones out there and ghosts i believe are real but many people always want to put stuff like that down because they are unsure and just won't believe

Answer 5

Belief is believing but what I think you need is proof and some people will accept fake proof to justify their belief but now faith in something is belief without any doubt Besides if you want to see ghost you will if you want to see UFO's you probably won't ( I have never seen one and I have been around this nation for a little while)any how my point is until you are not convinced in your belief it is what you have programed your mind to think about and you will find ways to support it But their is one belief that starts in the mind but ends in the heart and that is Jesus

Answer 6

Yeah pretty much, some people say there is scientific evidence of god but there isn't, just like there is none to prove he does not exist, we're all just gonna have to wait till we die to find out. UFOs on the other hand are true, that's just an object that hasn't been identified, could be anything, flying saucers on the other hand, well we wont know until the aliens come knocking on our door.

Answer 7

To answer that, you would have to answer this: Is consciousness a product of the physical universe, or is the physical universe a product of consciousness?

Before you answer, consider that we only accept the existence of a physical universe because we observe it. Such is why Decartes concluded that he could only be sure that he existed.

I accept the existance of an objective reality because (1) I can conceive of such a thing, (2) it fits my experience, (3) I feel certain that other people exist, and (4) it gives meaning to morality.

However, I think that objective reality stands beside subjective reality, and that they have interdependent but distinct existence.

Belief alone will not make any of those things true in objective reality. However, these things and many more can meaningful in the subjective reality.

Answer 8

Well, Jesus and the devil are real, so they are not in the same category. They are real whether you believe in them or not. Just like the wind is real - even though you can't see it. Gravity is real - even though you can't touch it. The cosmos is real even though you'll probably never travel the entirely of it. Infinity is real but you can't grasp it in your finite mind. It doesn't matter how many people believe in gravity and scientific laws - it's real. Just like spiritual laws. I think you'd better study up on the difference between the items you've listed.

Answer 9

Probably,for the ghosts,UFOs or the devil,I'm not really sure.But I truly believed that there's Jesus and God!

Answer 10

Yes it does become real. Humans need to learn that their brains are the most powerful tools within their existance. Yet most of our brains we don't use. If you manifest it, it will happen. But you need the brain power to truely believe!
