Good point.
An individual cannot really lie to himself on that question. He can feel convinced, work at being convinced, but ultimately, he knows if he really knows or not. And you don't know something because someone told you.
Knowing, really knowing, is being. And he who knows needs no proof to support what he knows, and what he knows is for and in relation to himself. Even if the source of this real knowledge is universal. Because the universal is differentiated at an extremely high level at the level of the source of an individual and that it is densified at the extreme at our level.
Many people talk of faith, but in reality they are talking about beliefs.
And there is an infinite difference between the two. Because faith can support no doubt. And doubt will be the test of man to single out every fear that has made its home of the psychic territory and that is just waiting to be awaken, until there is no dark place for it left to hide.
It is then that the individual will know how real he is and that those who simply believed will fail as their beliefs cannot act as placebos any more.
