Good thread. I love to be reminded to examine my beliefs and be tough with myself about them.
I look to others, in many media, for ideas that may or may not become beliefs after I've had a chance to try them on and to try to filter them through my heart and not just my head. I'm suspicious of beliefs too, but belief has utility, you must admit. It's possible to hold a belief while not really believing it.
Would you, EpiphaMe, flesh out what you think the differences between actuality and reality are?
Here's the idea I'm currently trying out about white light- that white light everyone says they go to- It's the Sun!
