(I did similarly with the Litany of Gendlin in my post):
If believing something that is false gets me utility, I desire to believe in that falsity; If believing something that is true gets me utility, I desire to believe in that truth; Let me not become attached to states of belief that do not get me utility.
I wrote a slightly less general version of the Litany of Gendlin on similar lines, based on the one specific case I know of where believing something can produce utility:
If I can X, then I desire to believe I can X If believing that I can not X would make it such that I could not X, and it is plausible that I can X, and there are no dire consequences for failure if I X, then I desire to believe I can X. It is plausible that I can X. There are no dire consequences for failure if I X.
The last two lines may be truncated off for some values of X, but usually shouldn’t be.
