Is it true that we only believe what we can physically see?

Have you ever seen thoughts?
Have you ever seen feelings?
No – you have seen their effects
In the form of words, actions,
And have thought, felt them
In yourself, so you believe they exist

Just like you have felt the wind
And seen it’s effects
Blowing leaves and trees

And isn’t everything we say or do
As a result of physically unseen
Thoughts and intentions, and physically
Unseen emotions, values, beliefs,
Influencing our thoughts, actions, words

And surely our state of consciousness
To think thoughts, reason, feel emotion
Cannot be born out of a state of unconsciousness
But must be created by an Ultimate Higher Consciousness
Because how can something unconscious
Create something conscious?

Yes there is a physical dimension to us
But at the heart of everything we say, do, think, feel
Is the physically unseen
Yet physically manifest:
Thoughts, emotions, values, beliefs

So is it really that implausible
To believe there is an Ultimate Unseen,
Higher Consciousness
Not visible, but at the same time
The Most Visible
Source of all Existence
The One and Only
Creator.
