Sunday Stream (225) ~ Belief
Posted: December 6th, 2009, 11:42 am
[note: we are doing our last Sunday show today and instead of putting up some pictures I opted to dig thru the Stream archives and found this one I had written 9.15.02, a bit over 7 years ago, and posted on Litkicks.]
If we blindly accept another’s experience as being our own, we fail to validate that experience, and merely continue to wag a tail that is not our own, simply mimicking another’s words that may or may not fully translate the experience, thereby weakening said experience into vacant explanations of an experience that has already become the past, therefore construing a past as being presently a belief in reality that has become no longer valid within its own right. We subjugate our own possibility of attaining our own experience by the shortness of explanations thru the limitations of a language that pales to experience itself.
What to do?
If our insistence in believing persists, we may find ourselves disbelieving our own experience when the experience occurs within ourselves and mistakenly refute that experience as being something that we may define as true, because we have resolutely established the belief as being our own, whereas the experience is our own, and therefore is true for ourselves. So we are left with a conditioning of doubt because of our faith in a belief that belies our own experience and we fail to find adequate explanations of such experience within our own language shortcomings, and dismiss our own experience as being untrue, and continue to accept the belief of another.
In so doing we consciously (or subconsciously) prove our own worth in experience as delusional, thereby forfeiting our worth as the individual that we are possible of achieving if we were not so engaged in (again) belief systems that have become icons in another’s individuality.
So what may we surmise from this?
To assume the beliefs of another may be just an adjunct to further discovery of ourselves and not a stopping point in the endless journey of what, why, when, and where...for the journey is just that, a journey...which is what we are ultimately all on, and whether we accept this as a belief or a truth is of no concern to anyone but our own existence, if we simply stop and smell, the experience will satisfy the inner us without regard to a belief or not.
Attainment becomes another level of which to enjoy the mystery of existence... to see with a new perspective, to sense with heightened awareness that which further reveals our own individuality...and it is with these new eyes that we perceive of these mysteries thru the peacefulness of being just what we are.

Belief is usually the acceptance in another’s experience and not our own.If we blindly accept another’s experience as being our own, we fail to validate that experience, and merely continue to wag a tail that is not our own, simply mimicking another’s words that may or may not fully translate the experience, thereby weakening said experience into vacant explanations of an experience that has already become the past, therefore construing a past as being presently a belief in reality that has become no longer valid within its own right.
