I’m not projecting anything. And I think your analogy is apt and does not really refute what I said. Someone could well believe with all their might that there’s a bridge and fall to their death. But the fact that they believed it so much that they tried to cross it against all reason means that to them the bridge was real. This is why I said “at the individual level”. Your truth is not the Truth, but it is still the truth for you until you somehow discover that your belief was wrong. Some never find out, others find out too late to reverse course and fall to their death.
You are 100% projecting. I do not trust my feelings, so my feelings are not reality. Things are not real to me just because I believe they are real. I do my best to get external confirmation.
Again, projection. I do not automatically accept something is true just because I believe it is true. I come to most situations assuming my belief is wrong and get it confirmed.
You are not me and you do not know how I think and I know that not because I believe it but because I have had enough confirmation in my life that there is no such thing as a psychic.
Belief is not knowledge and it will never be knowledge.
Well when I say you I do not mean you specifically I’m talking about anyone. I’m talking about the indefinite “you” as it were. I can see now how it would be misunderstood, my bad.
But I would argue that in your case that your belief that you are free from false beliefs in all your beliefs because you do not trust your feelings is proof of my assertion. I don’t think it’s possible for any person can make that claim unless they thoroughly dissected every single feeling they feel through the day every day. Sounds exhausting and impossible.
I never said or even implied such a thing. I literally said the opposite:
You clearly aren't even reading my posts.
