I believe in this, so I guess my belief of this makes my beliefs real.

To some degree. It is like the power of positive thinking. If you strongly believe in something you work at it ... it's your motive. And, you make it happen. Then, it becomes real and your dreams come true. It's kinda like believing in yourself and knowing yourself well enough to know what is real and what is not.

It makes it real to YOU. That's basically what everyone does. Everything thinks that they are right. It wouldn't be very possible to think other wise because we have to make decisions that we feel are right - and not wrong.
It's hard to know what is really real or what to truley belive because there are so many different beliefs and everyone thinks their beliefs are correct. Religion, captiol punishment etc. Is there a right or wrong answer? only to yourself and if it is your belief then it is real, but only to you.
The only way you could ever have a belief that is real, as in REALITY would be the belief in and search for absolute truths. Meaning you would have to believe that you're always trying to see both sides and never believing in either until you know it's the truth. Even then it's hard to do because humanity is constantly proving itself wrong time and time again. I guess the best belief to have is that beliefs do not make something real.. but then what does? haha

The act of believing in something can make things real. Acting upon our belief can them more real or debunk (demystify) our belief.

That is precidsely the nature of reality. Realty is shaped by belief and belief is shaped by reality. That is one of the mysteries of mysticism that mystics ahd been struggling with for hte existance of the human race.

Well really who knowingly believe in something that was not real
that would be a very high degree of self delusion, ....there maybe a narcissistic condition developing here ...I did say maybe not for sure.
