What accumulates to form our beliefs?

Beliefs are shaped by our thoughts, as they involve the internal processes of cognition and interpretation that allow us to understand the world around us. Thoughts are influenced by a variety of factors, including personal experiences, values, assumptions, and external information. This internal dialogue gradually builds a framework of belief as we refine our understanding and perspective based on the thoughts we formulate about our experiences and the world.

While actions, feedback from others, and experiences certainly play significant roles in shaping our beliefs, they are often processed through our thoughts. For instance, the way we interpret feedback or the meaning we attribute to experiences relies heavily on our thought processes. Thus, while all these components contribute to the development of beliefs, it is primarily our thoughts that accumulate and crystallize into the beliefs we hold.
