Believing Without Believing

Question:

I am observing the situation I find myself in as well as all my thoughts and emotions surrounding it, but without buying into my thoughts and emotions. Am I on the right track?

Théun’s Answer:

Yes! You are on the right track.

You have a great opportunity right now to learn one of the most difficult Not-Doings the apprentice to the Warrior’s Path ever has to learn, namely, believing without believing! It appears to be so simple and so easy to accomplish, and yet in practice it is fiendishly difficult to do. Why? Because until you gain proficiency in ACTING AS IF you believe, when your mind is screaming at you that you are CRAZY, you will find yourself swinging violently between the polarities - sometimes very clear that you DO believe, whilst at other times doubting even your sanity, telling yourself that you are deluded, and wanting nothing more than to run away from the challenge!

But once mastered you will find a freedom within this Not-Doing that will enable you to tackle challenges that most people find incomprehensible and too frightening! Put quite simply, you will then have the freedom to ACT upon what your FEELINGS are telling you WITHOUT succumbing to FEAR! You will have learned to TRUST your heart and therefore to act even though you have NO proof and NO guarantees! THAT, my friend, is a freedom most people can only ever achieve TEMPORARILY in MOMENTS of DIRE crisis and REACTION!
