Get used to that.

Yes. I've been shedding beliefs for a while now. I still apparently have some very deep, very subtle ones (they keep popping up to be addressed so they can be released), but for the most part, I mostly just have "best guesses based on current assessment of perceived experience" to go on. Happily, that seems to be enough. And the fewer beliefs I have, the more fluid my reality is, so it's all good.

So beautifully stated. I know exactly what you mean.

I collect data now in the same way that I collect rocks. I like rocks, always have. I find them interesting. They're all unique, and some are really beautiful, and some aren't so beautiful but are still interesting. So I collect them. Same with knowledge data. It's interesting. I like to collect it. And while some of it is pretty darned sparkly and interesting, in the end I know that it's just like collecting rocks.
