And then tell him to stop doing that.

It's not a belief, it's a reality which I understand deeply. All that stuff about beliefs is self-help . You are the manifestation that is happening, at the same time as you are the totality that is manifesting. They are not separate, they are one. You cannot separate yourself from thoughts or suffering or pleasure; separation is an appearance, it is creating a separate self. There is no separate self. Non-dualists like Ralston preach non-duality by creating absolute dualities.

Deep post. Anyway, my point is more about analysis

Again, what happens if you stop believing THAT?

Think of the placebo effect for instance.
