But what about the other issue? Why doesn't believing in X make X real?
Believing in [X] will make [X] real... if you ACTUALLY, TRULY believe it at your innermost core. Remember my analogy about the computer game and its source code? [X] will have to exist within the source code, and it has to be well-programmed and without bugs, otherwise you'll have malfunctions and crashes at the runtime level.
Yes but that's my point! lol. Shannon was saying I believe X because it's what I keep seeing, but I'm asking why it doesn't work that way for ME, specifically? Is that a belief too?

It's like you're dismissing the concept of the subconscious and conscious minds and how they work. The subconscious mind doesn't have a "belief system" in the way that you think it does. The subconscious mind is like the source code of a computer program, it literally executes what it's been programmed to do. Anything you consciously believe is being completely informed by the programming of the subconscious mind.
So, in order for you to get [X] to work, [X] must be ingrained into and fully accepted by the subconscious mind. You can't just walk around saying, "I believe I'm good at [X]" when the subconscious mind doesn't have that programming. That's why so many people here and in the world will never be rich. They've been programmed by society to fear and hate money. We've been taught that having money somehow makes you evil. Thus, your subconscious is going to inform your conscious mind to resist attracting money because your subconscious will never let you become something it fears.
If you want [X] to become true, you'll have to program your subconscious to execute [X]. Subliminals are pretty much the easiest way to accomplish that goal.
I'm not saying that I want X to be true, I'm saying that by oibserviung the world and stuff, X is true for me. Shannon was saying X is true for me but I need to believe Y.
So I posed the question: if X is true for me, how come it's not working either?
I don't think reality can change for beliefs. Look at a kid who decides to jump off a roof and fly. He believes it, yet gravity shows him what's real.
I'm sure you as well have had times where something turned out unexpected and you were forced to question what you had always believed to be true.
THUS, my point is: there is a reality that exists beyond our beliefs that cannot be changed by them. That is the reality I am referring to.
