Belief

Beliefs are born of mind; a thought about a thing,

Whereas experience is had, and requires no thinking.

Instead of believing in this or that,

Consider experiencing, now;

Look, listen, smell, taste, sense, know,

But of believing in things, let go.

Get lost in the stars, peer into their depths, wonder at their wonder,

But don't believe that their existence and position has meaning!

Believe in miracles, a plan, a God, if you wish to remain separate,

Or, if you wish to experience connection, be with what is.

Don't believe what some bloke says,

Because it makes sense to the mind,

Observe what happens in your own experience,

Look closely, experiment, test, try, realise,

Then, you know, instead of believing.

Belief is fantasy. Experience is real.

Belief is closed. Experience is open.

Belief is mental. Experience is whole body and beyond.

Why limit yourself with belief?
