Sacred Beliefs
Even as beliefs unravel through inquiry, and there is more familiarity with the general dynamics of beliefs, there are still some sacred beliefs left.
I assume this is quite typical. The peripheral and less serious beliefs drop away, revealing our sacred beliefs in starker relief.
And these sacred beliefs are exactly those which we can use to kick ourselves out of paradise - even out of an otherwise clear realization of selflessness (as happened with me last fall).
What seems so true and obvious that I wouldn't even consider questioning it?
Or as a more practical path into it: Where is there still stress in my life? Which views and behaviors still trigger something in me?
