...it resonates with your own Inner Knowingness" I think the complete statement is. : )

reality and people go to war and kill one another on false perceptions. Everyone should learn the difference between opinions, suggestion and fact. Thanks for this discussion, Ming.

..that believing in nothing is also a belief.
Damn!
I value that little phrase "I don't know" so highly. It's small, but it flies on mighty wings.
It expands our lives to include spaces within us as well as the outer expanses in which
our tiny Earth hangs suspended.

...produce the most interesting responses. I think you ought to just post a blank page one day and see how people respond—how they fill in the blank, so to speak—a fitting analogy for life ;-)

jstarr: "that believing in nothing is also a belief. Damn!"
Hehe. Good one. I meant, I believe it's a good one, another belief. Duh!

Believe nothing,...? Hmm....thats a bit of a oxymoron is it not. I mean how does one beleive nothing; you have to believe in something to believe in nothing. Is this not the truth the mere fact of believe is a belief.

we dun really believe in anything. the mind deceives us. when we constantly receive informations on one concept, the brain can store the them so well that every time when we encounter sth related to this concept, the brain we naturally responds in the way (that concept stored in the brain) hence, when we say it, we call that as "believe". nothing special, just the mind is fooling us
