I believe the same thing. My beliefs just differ about what the path to that higher level of awareness is
I understand what you're saying about unconventional beliefs being hard to swallow -- I know the lens argument, and I believe in subjective reality to some extent. And trust me, I've had trouble explaining my beliefs to others. I just don't get what you're trying to explain, or why you believe it. 'Why' is always the most important question for me.
Oh, and don't worry about offending me if your beliefs conflict with mine. Like I said before, I think that one of the best paths to growth is by having others point out your errors and flaws of logic. Since I'm not really bothered by criticism anymore (I'm a writer, so I'm constantly having my work torn to shreds), I actively seek out honest and courageous people out to do just that for me. Worst case scenario, I respectfully disagree with their opinions, best case scenario, I realise I'm wrong and learn something.
Edith -- could be that that's what Steve meant and I'm totally misinterpreting what he means by "don't judge". A lot of people mean literal good/evil judgement when they speak of judging others, which is something that's never occured to me to do (I'm a staunch believer that everyone is essentially good, just not necessarily smart).
