Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Darn, no one replied to my I AM as being a non-belief. But, my dear, " I Am " *is* a belief! L.E: It's not a belief if it is a description of an experience. A belief statement can say, " I believe the world will end soon. " Stating that " my finger hurts, " is not a belief, it is a describtion of an experience. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that you start to ponder about it. Good. :-) Stating " my finger hurts " is based on the belief that the pain was experienced. Not to speak about all the other beliefs implied (i.e. what you feel is called " hurt " , that its " your " finger, that -tatatataaa:- YOU exist). Hey, thats basics! Tell me whatever example you want and I name a preconditioning belief. But I would like to suggest: try hard! Maybe we find something that resists??? (I didnt). BTW., did you ever read that famous dialog where Sokrates concludes: " all I know is that I know nothing " ...? Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
