It is better to remember and recognize through curiosity, experience and knowledge rather than believe or assume.

It is natural to doubt and ask plenty of questions. Ask questions and do not settle for wrong answers. It is better to live without answers rather than believe in wrong answers.

Faith and belief can kill your curiosity and your ability to live life with beginners open mind of an original explorer.

Blind faith and beliefs are psychological sedatives that can help you to bear suffering but never cure it.

Right Knowledge Deconstructs Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Ideas are psychological point of views in some context, and they do not represent the complete reality. Ideas are artificially created by humans for some practical reason. Ideas can eventually become outdated, irrelevant or useless.

You may have faith and belief in the ideas and philosophies even if they are outdated, unproven or impractical. Faith and belief are not knowledge or experience of reality like knowledge and experience of pain, disease, old age and death which are known practically.

To have blind faith and orthodox belief in ideas without knowledge and experiences is to deceive yourself knowingly. You have faith and belief does not necessarily mean that you know, or you have the experience. Having faith or believing is not equivalent to knowing the truth or reality.

Knowledge, on the other hand, is to know the truth established through personal experience, experimentation, validation, verification, application or demonstration through all means of knowing. When you know, you need not believe. However, the knowledge has to be correct in the right context.

You will get misled by your own mind by believing in that which does not exist.

Rigidity and Burden Due to Blind Faith and Orthodox Beliefs

Faith and beliefs are ideas or assumptions accepted to be true or untrue. Faith and belief can create unconscious bias affecting your decisions and actions.

Due to faith and beliefs, you may live alienated from reality and act in a very rigid manner in order to confirm with your blind faith and orthodox belief rather than live and act harmoniously with the reality of cause and conditions.

Consciously you may have faith and belief but deep inside you may remain ignorant.

Faith and Beliefs contribute to your subliminal stress of ignorance rather than the wisdom of not knowing. Faith and belief add to psychological burden that is unnecessary while keeping you off-guard about truth and reality.

Faith and beliefs can wrongly influence the process of life and actions without your knowledge. For example, due to early life belief in god and his judgement, you may continue to live in fear and anxiety but not know the source of it.

Growing up in such psychological prison can influence the processes of life and growth at young age to impact your physiological and psychological health in later life just like a poorly stressfully developed lamb due to forgotten fear of a tiger.

Early life beliefs may be forgotten but continue to stress the involuntary process of life. It is like accidently believing rope to be a snake and getting stressed over it or accidently believing snake as rope and remain gullible only to get bitten.

You are carrying many such forgotten faiths and beliefs that stress the process of your life by adding to your psychological burden. Supreme creator, eternal self and after life are such beliefs affecting the process of your life and your actions.

Such blind faiths and beliefs can devalue life, impair priority in your value system and corrupt your principles due to which your natural sense of righteousness and honesty towards yourself and towards others can get affected.

Why Do You Believe or Have Faith?

Many of your faiths and beliefs are not your conscious choice. You have beliefs and faiths passed down to you in the early life before you knew how to question.

During early childhood due to delicate nervous system before maturity, you are highly suggestible and vulnerable to hypnosis, you are also highly impressionable and vulnerable to conditioning.

The foundation of your life is laid on your beliefs, mindset, and attitudes formed during early life through your experiences and upbringing. Early-life beliefs become part of your physiological and psychological conditioning.

You believe in the ideas if you like, depend, or trust the source of those ideas, for example parents, friends, teachers, charismatic personalities etc. You believe because everyone believes and not because you know.

You also adopt beliefs based on your experiences if you are too lazy to examine their truth and reasoning. For example, if you never saw cow giving milk, you may believe that dairy gives milk rather than cow.

Belief is due to lack of knowledge and experience. You may believe without knowing. You may believe without empirical evidence obtained through right means and methods including experimentation, validation and verification based on understanding of empirical evidence.

Beliefs are not the universal reality or absolute truth. Nothing should be accepted as true without investigating into it by yourself on basis of experimentation, verification, validation, application, demonstration or at least correct personal knowledge in the right context.

Rather than belief or leap of faith, have trust and leap of confidence based on training, knowledge, experience and understanding. Rather than believe or assume, doubt and be curious.

Deconstructing Faith Through Seamless Clarity of Awareness

Faith can be deconstructed by experiencing, knowing correctly in the right context as it is, verifying and validating the reality by all means.

Reality should be known and validated and verified for it’s constituent cause and conditions at all levels in order to know it correctly in the right context as it is.

By being fully aware and detached without self, you know correctly in the right context as it is without associating or identifying with the known or unknow.

Through seamless clarity of detached awareness, you are self-aware without the Self and you live life with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer without any crutches of faith or beliefs.

By being aware without associating with the known or unknown, you know and understand your experiences correctly in the right context through all the natural and artificial means.

Such seamless clarity of awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is without activities in the mind or reacting to the known or unknown is necessary to deconstruct faith and learn to live without faiths or beliefs.

Right practice of meditation, that is not based on faith or belief, can help you to cultivate that seamless clarity of detached awareness necessary to deconstruct faiths or beliefs and live life authentically with a beginner’s mind like an original explorer.
