What Is Stopping Us Knowing? It Is Belief.

Belief is second-hand information – hearsay rather than direct observation or experience.

Belief is thinking that we know. This causes insecurity, defensiveness, and aggression. Belief is a con trick, destroying confidence and the ability to reason. It is belief that causes confusion; we’re only confused because we believe. If we know, we don’t have to believe. Belief is an idea, and the mind holds us prisoner to that idea.

Belief has a lot of followers – in fact, a planet-ful! – while knowing is beyond belief. Knowing is gnostic – esoteric mystical knowledge. It is only mystical because, ordinarily, we see through a belief system in the mind.

Belief is the ignorance of not knowing;
it is second-hand information,
previously owned but now owning us.

People fight over ideas.
You cannot fight over consciousness.

Belief wants to control.
Consciousness is pure observation.
