Deep thoughts can appear suddenly in your mind today, inspiring you to put aside whatever you were doing so as to devote a greater portion of your attention to reflection and contemplation. You may derive an enormous amount of pleasure from an examination of the origins of your various systems of value and belief. Additionally, a need to know precisely why these ideologies appeal to you can compel you to look at your own existence for confirmation of your dedication. What you discover may surprise you today, as the intentions that originally led you to adopt a certain philosophy may have long since changed.

We are oftentimes far more thorough in our examination of the specifics of our ideological or spiritual systems of belief than we are in our understanding of why we are attracted to these modes of perceiving the world around us. Our reasons for adhering to a particular philosophy are varied and complex, and we may, therefore, avoid thinking too deeply about them. Yet we need only look closely at our own lives in the context of our beliefs to see that there are parallels in each, and that which we aspire to is often represented heavily in the tenets we follow. As our knowledge of the origins of the cultural or divine principles most important to us grows, we begin to see how our circumstances have shaped our convictions. If you allow your thoughts to stray into deeper territory today, your faith in that which you hold dear will grow ever stronger.
