Me - I guess one needs to have a non-negotiable belief, that provides both the start and end point to understanding and realisation. God, spirituality, Mammon, rationality all provide articles of faith that anchor belief as well as guide the seeking to validate that belief.
If one doesn't have a belief anchor, the obvious perceived reality is all there is and understanding is limited to the temporal laws of cause and effect.
Why do beliefs get anchored differently as also their diversity? Maybe each mind realises it's own ability.
Arun - It's so funny that after so many years of introspection, we have reached at exactly opposite conclusions!
All beliefs are pretensions, and, deceptive. A belief closes the doors to knowledge and understanding. You believe in something only when there is an element of doubt in it. You don't believe in sun, trees and day and night, because they are there. There are different beliefs because of different conditioning of minds. What you percieve IS the reality, provided you don't put nouns and adjectives to it, because, you will be doing that according to your conditioned mind. The whole issue is to de-condition the mind and start with a blank slate, as they say, become a child again. You have to die to yourself to be reborn.

Me - The discussion, I think,is starting to resemble the Law of Logical Argument - Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about. Best to let the mind R.I.P
