Beliefs are not important, because reality is not 'made up', or dependent on belief(s).
When Jesus said, 'Not my will, but yours be done', he's guiding us to follow his lead in letting go of belief, desire, hope, but most importantly SELF, which is thought to be separate and self contained. Self is that which 'needs' things, since it is at odds with what is, and can only get what it wants by force or coercion. It is controlled by wants and desires.
Again Jesus guides us to not be self-directed,
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?" Mt.6:25
The more a person lets go of self(involvement), the more that person can turn (repent) and see what reality is.
Don't be concerned about 'what does it all mean', since meaning is another desire of self.
Matthew
