  1. I didnt say know, I said believe. I still don't believe for certain, I just believe that I see it as that.
  2. I would agree with you if I used an apt analogy but im talking about any and all belief.
  3. Of course Ok simply explain to me how a belief that the grass is green is one out of fear.
  4. I agree that most belief is made out of security or fear but not all of it. I do not believe what I am saying now because of fear of deminishment of ego or anything else for that matter, its just a belief.
  5. Not at all, if I believe that the banana is yellow that is not a belief of fear or security. If I believed it was purple it would be a belief of fear.
  6. @robdl Even what you just said is a belief. Does that then mean that that was out of security?
  7. Why must you seek psychological security in what I asked you?
  8. Yes but I don't see how this means that I hold this belief because im afraid.
  9. @Faceless How does believing the grass is green give one a sense of security.
  10. Probably the funniest joke I have seen on this forum.
  11. I could not answer that but I don't think that the answer is always because they're afraid.
  12. @Faceless That does not mean that you cant have beliefs. Your still bound by thought.
  13. You are then claiming that you don't believe anything to be true or false because its within the limits of thought
  14. @Faceless You believe its all determined? Or just most or some aspects then?
  15. Pure being or existential truth is what gives rise to properties.@Faceless
  16. You can see clearly for yourself if you approach it with an open mind.
  17. This is an interesting talk on the topic and a thought experiment you can try for yourself.
  18. @Anna1 Thank you for putting that so well, I think its important to remind ourselves of this and to stay vigilant I cant see how it can hinder our enlightenment. @Joseph Maynor
  19. @kieranperez How did you become conscious of this?
