Belief is a very strong sentiment. A sentiment that is deeply ingrained within our cells. While there is nothing good or bad about it, its existence cannot be denied from our being. Everything we experience in our lives is a manifestation of those beliefs that exist within us. As we dig deeper into our own beliefs ('Values' as we call it), we discover some that we are already aware of and many that we may not consciously be aware of. As we look around externally, we will notice that many of the conflicts that arise in our personal lives or even around the world happen because of conflict of beliefs (Values). Two people or two societies or two countries or two religions and so on, pick any two that are in dissonance, we will find that at the core there is a conflict of beliefs (within us). Belief accompanied by an egoistic action/reaction results in many unwanted situations and experiences in our life and in the world.
I share here an observation that turned into a realization through practice. You will notice the sentences referring as "you" sometimes and sometimes "we". This is how the realization speaks to me and I am sharing it with you as it is, without editing it.

Understand that when you are questioning other’s belief, an aspect of that belief is bringing discomfort within you and the sole reason you are feeling that discomfort is because that belief exists within you.
Many times you are not even aware of all the beliefs that are ingrained within your own being. External people and circumstances, mirror that which is subconsciously hidden within you.
When you find questioning other beliefs, stop and identify why you may have that belief within you that manifested itself through an external medium (person/situation).
When you look within, you will find that the conflict is happening within you. Conflict between the opposite beliefs exist within all of us. One that believes this is how it is. And the other which negates that belief in full integrity. The stronger of the two becomes our conscious belief system and the other gets pushed into our subconscious. When a medium matching that conscious belief system comes face to face, we consider them in our favor, when the medium matching the subconscious (that we hid) comes face to face, we reject and sometimes fight the medium, we call it undesirable, and we deny it from our outer existence.
This duality (of opposites) exists within us and it is in the imbalance of this duality, where the conflict arises. The conflict that we feel within, it is all about us, about what is within. When we feel and observe the reality of that imbalance, realization dawns bringing the subconscious to forefront and bringing it to balance with our conscious. In that balance there is a neutral feeling towards beliefs that earlier were in rejection. Acceptance is effortless and a smooth transformation in the light of that realization.
There in that acceptance, we also realize the duality of opposites is in fact a polarity of the complimentary beliefs that exist within us, to be of service and to guide us through our life on this planet. When they are in balance and in harmony, they are able to take charge and guide us in different phases or situations in life. When one of them serves, the other provides support, neutralizing (and even dissolving) action-reaction effect of life maintaining the balance. It is in that balance that we experience harmony and no conflict.

We look for balance in our lives and our beliefs are here to show us the path. All we need is the courage to walk that path, to create that difference within us that we wish to see which will go on to manifest beautifully in our outer experience as well!
