A philosophy I've created that is based on the following principles:
Metaphysics: Belief
Epistemology: Belief that may reach subjective coherence or "knowledge"
Ethics: Coherence in belief within the self and/or others

Quote:The Study of Somonism:
Somonism – Existential monism by the way of seeing belief as the way of the mind and the way of unity within the mind and minds of others.
Simply, belief is understood in this philosophy as the way of the mind. May you see the statements that follow as questions rather than justified statements. May you ask yourself “Is this truth?” with each line. If there is a lack of coherence with the statements given, may you remain within your respective beliefs.
Philosophy is the love of belief or as the invoking of emotional pleasure by belief.
There is only belief.
We believe in things.
We study why we believe in things.
We attempt to make beliefs coherent within ourselves and others.
Belief brings us momentary emotional pleasure in the face of pain. Whether it brings long-term pleasure or pain is a mystery that must be found within the self.
We use belief to invoke beliefs within ourselves and others due to a lack of coherent belief in both parties. This cycle perpetuates itself as long as there are not coherent beliefs within ourselves and others.
The act of belief may come to be because we perceive we are not in coherence with the beliefs of ourselves and others. With this said, it can be seen we are of an inherent coherence in belief if we choose to seek acceptance of all things, as pain comes from the perception of incoherence. To see coherence in incoherence is to become inherently coherent in belief. This is a path I evoke only by suggestion, not by a claim of “truth.”
“Knowledge” or “truth” is recognized by this philosophy as only coherent belief so far as there is a long-term acceptance of such belief.
Rejection of belief is simply the belief of something as false. Falsehoods are simply beliefs of a long-term rejection of beliefs that we do not find to be in coherence with who we are.
Anecdotes are to come as to why these statements are made and how true they may be to you.
