Belief

Beliefs are born of mind; a thought about a thing,

Whereas experience is had, and requires no thinking.

Instead of believing in this or that,

Consider experiencing, now;

Look, listen, smell, taste, sense, know,

But of believing in things, let go.

Get lost in the stars, peer into their depths, wonder at their wonder,

But, don't believe that their existence and position in the sky has meaning.

Believe in miracles, a plan, a God, if you wish,

Or, experience God, by loving what is.

Don't believe what another mind says,

Just because it makes sense to yours,

Observe what happens in your experience,

Look closely, experiment, test, try, realise,

Then, you know, instead of believing.

Belief is fantasy. Experience is happening.

Belief is closed. Experience is open.

Belief is mental. Experience is whole body and beyond.

Why limit yourself with belief?
