Here’s a thought (one of many) which I took away from Dr. Michael Beckwith’s talk at a conference I was at recently. He said, “Belief is a placeholder for what you know.” This of course made sense to me. But it’s been lurking in my mind these past few days.
Here’s my thought process. We have a belief, which we practice. We may even have an affirmation to affirm that belief over and over. We practice it enough and we get an “a-ha” moment—insight. Then, we have knowingness.
What has held me in this inner discussion is trust. In order for us to know something, we must first trust it to be so. I can certainly have a belief without fully trusting it…hmmm maybe. Maybe I’m kidding myself there. But somewhere in between practice and insight comes trust.
