NO NEED TO BELIEVE WHAT IS.
A sincere seeker may encounter reality and goodness when left to himself in the woods.

NO KNOWER, NO NEED TO BELIEVE.
Starting with our born insecurities, we grow up fearing that we do not have control; that we do not know ‘what’s going on?’, and we desperately need protection. So we cling to a life-ring of beliefs – always traditional, cultural – that comfort and console, for a while, but not really, yes. 😉 In truth, in fact, deep down, unavoidably for some, there is a knowing that we are pretending. And therein lies the fear. Who would I be if there is no ‘me’? [ spoiler alert: One is nothing else but Awareness itself: essentially peaceful, beautiful, joyful, and loving. 😉
Believing is a function of knowing, apparently; no beliefs, no believer. No knower, nothing known. What Is, is not symbolic, worded ideas that merely re-present reality but can never directly know or describe ‘This That Is.’ O, but ’tis human to conceive and believe one is a real ‘person’ who really knows, does, becomes, and achieves – all entirely fabricated out of thin, synthetic, mind-made, home-spun recycled, repaired and patched cloth that dissolves only in the clear light of direct self-knowing.
You can only know what you are not; the unknown that one Is, is living, listening, learning, loving, and flowing with – and as – life itself.
PS Don’t think about all this! Mind mystifies! Take a hike – start with any flower – deeply, quietly, sincerely, look around for yourself, inside and out. BYOA BE YOUR OWN AUTHORITY..and be well. 🙂
