I'm sorry to sound pessimistic here, but just because you believe it, does not necessarily mean that you will ever see it.
Also, we merely see what we believe we see. Just because we believe what we see, it's still just a belief.
You either believe it is or you believe it isn't, whether you have seen it or not, you have a belief. Seeing is merely relative to your personal belief, no matter which comes first.

Believe it to see it.
I Believe therefore I see.
As a matter of fact I Believe that no matter what most of us think we are all Believers in some sort of way. Most of us Believe in lots of things that we can not see. A few examples would be; Tomorrow, none of us know for sure it will come but we all Believe it will, love is a force that is invisible, influences lives to a great degree, but cannot be proven to exist scientifically. Are our memories real? How about our emotions? Our self-awareness? What about odors? We can't see gravity, but it keeps us from floating off into space. We can't see oxygen, but just try to live without it! The list goes on and on.
We all must be believers in some small way.

For me it's---- see it to believe it! If something is tangible I can grasp it's reality. Beliefs, on the other hand do not necessarily ever become visible so the element of hope , and faith has to occur to sustain a belief. I come from the school of thought actions speak louder than words so...that may factor into I have to see it to believe it!

Both. sort of. In the physical world (present tense/past tense) I believe what I observe with the eyes in my head.
In the spiritual world (future tense/prophetic tense) I believe what I dream. When I believe it I work to make it real for others to see. When they see it with the eyes in their heads then they will believe it.
If I can share the dream and others "see it" then maybe they will help me make it real.
When our dreams become reality, Reality becomes a dream.

I said, "sort of" because, truth is, it is all a dream. Could you 'see' an airplane in 1492? No. Could you see a car back then? No. These things had not been dreampt up yet. We see them all the time today. We would not be able to 'see' them if we did not at first SEE them.

See it to believe it. Reasons: actions speak louder than words! By believing you have a 50 - 50 chance that you might be wrong, seeing it you might try to trick your mind but the truth always comes back.

Well someone could promise you something, but you wouldnt really believe them til you saw it (depending on the type of person they are) but there is other stuff. Just cos you aint seen a million pound, doesnt mean it dont exist. You know that old chestnut.

Honestly...
On the outside I act like Im a believe it to see it kinda person but deep inside Im a see it to believe it person. I think im scared to admitt that I may have questions or fears about the blind faith ive had for years.

Believe it to see it, definitely! I believe in many things in which I can't see, like Europe. I've never been there, but I believe it's there. Now I just have to see it!

I see it to believe it. IT has to be felt or seen in some way in order for me to know it is there otherwise it is just an idea I think about.

See it to believe it....and if I can't see then I want a logical explanation on why I should believe.
I don't have blind faith and never will it's just beyond my capabilities as a thinking human being with questions to every answer.
