either you know or you don’t know belief is the middleman who says “i know, you don’t know” this is how gurus, babas, yogis, motivational speakers self-help books and snake oil salesmen are born the rational human might question "can one really live without believing in anything?" i’ll say this the only things one can believe are the things that require no belief "which is what?" the things that one has experienced that which one has experienced needs no middlemen even god cannot take that away from you if it’s a problem of the world like how to repair something how to install something by all means seek a guru but if it’s an otherworldly problem like how to end suffering how to find peace how to be free then no guru can help for that guru has more problems than you he has to maintain his beard he has to maintain his fancy robe he has to maintain his social media he has to fill his speeches with the right amount of intellect, fun and viral material so he is always trending for otherworldly problems you need otherworldly solutions you cannot seek human help you have to go alone explore experiment see what happens only in that experience you will find the root of your problem don’t believe me? good
