How To Avoid Belif System Of Zen

It seems that meditaiton is backprocessing and realising control, but with every new material, information we gather more and more of knowledge.

  • How to not know?
  • Is there a direct way to realese knowledge? :):)

@David S start seeing that all the knowledge you have that hasn’t been a direct experience for you, is actually just belief.

If you close your eyes the tree you were looking at disappears. In that current experience the tree doesn’t exist for you anymore. All thoughts that tell you It does are built upon belief. 

Check this for yourself.

Yes that's easy to prove. But when you start to belive that there is no self and nothing exists. That's a kind of unlogical. When there is attachment to these thoughts how to deal? in general I think mindfulness will help.

@David S It might be different but the idea stays the same. Believing that you won't exist is nothing like experiencing that you don't exist.

If something has not been a direct experience for you it is belief.

For me doing Neti-Neti meditation helped me expose the way I belief in the self. Maybe this could help you as well.
