"Belief can be the perfect cutter and yet the perfect allower."
I like this. And, with respect to what you mentioned above, Serloco, I like the "drunken nagual" approach to belief. My preference is to keep belief open-ended and abstract.....though there are some focal elements that can be touched upon verbally....qualified.
"Abstract affection" for instance, for me is open ended belief in that the affection (definitely focal in comparison to "hatred") has no particular reference point.....thus it can be felt for anything, anytime. It's source is infinity itself.
Or, perhaps, the belief in "God". On a personal note, the word "God" feels to insular. The hard "g" and hard "d" at the beginning and end feel like closed doors, fore and aft, with "church in session" in the middle. "Infinity", on the other hand, has the open "I" and open "y" at the beginning and end. There's an interaction with the intelligence and abstraction affection of infinity amidst the details of this life....so, somehow, infinity itself and its interaction with poor little me feel very personal...intimate....at the moment. But the truth of it, as I see it, is like the tree that Rosy refers to ........something is focused and seemingly definitive in terms of its trunk, the hard/fixed parts, which extend above and below into a fine spray that extends into forever
