"The trick with beliefs is to see that they have no final basis in reality. Reality is beyond all beliefs. However, in daily living, you at times may need to operate from some belief. For example, it is better to be loving than violent. This is a belief for sure, but it may be useful at times in daily living. So can you utilize a belief without seeing your belief as ultimately true? Ultimately, beliefs are never absolutely true, but some beliefs may be of practical usefulness in certain life situations. To sum up, don’t believe your beliefs, even when they come in handy to help orient daily living."
