You can actually believe it, if you want to. If you are doing and saying things consistent with it, the last step (as I posted earlier) is to say the same thing to yourself, internally, and completely avoid saying to yourself the opposite or things that imply the opposite.
It sounds like you are saying to yourself things like “I wish I believed that X, but unfortunately I know that it is isn’t true because of Y...” If you decide to do so, you can simply stop telling yourself things like that, and instead tell yourself things like “X. X is true. It really is.”
If you do that, I assure you that you will indeed begin to believe that X. Of course, in reality even if you say you wished you had that belief set, you might not really wish you had it, given that the cost is losing the truth. So this may explain why you refuse to take this step.
