There’s a possibility that they won’t release the episode. They might have realised in the editing process that this is too controversial for their audience. 

"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

They exist nonetheless, they're something. An illusion, because they captivate you like temptation.

It takes a lot of effort to position yourself away from their gravitational force even for a moment.

That can be true when it comes to certain forms of programming, but belief doesn't exist objectively or on its own, except as a mental activity held by you. Seeing it as a belief is the first step. The deeply buried ones are seen by us as intrinsic aspects of reality, so they're trickier to unearth.

A good (and challenging) practice to take up is to identify each and every belief you hold and drop them all, aside from the functional ones. But seeing something as a belief and not as a reality tends to immediately undermine our certainty in it.
