EVERYTHING!
Absolutely! It wasn't until someone really pounded that into my head that I *saw* the value of it. Prior to that, I believed that what I believed was Truth, when the reality was that it was only belief. When we start asking ourselves WHY we believe certain things... that's when we really start to see the schism between who we ARE and who we THINK we are.
I guess I've been lucky in that regard, I'm very analytical and so always want to understand and see for myself. Constantly asking "Why?" and "How?"
Usually drives people around me a little crazy and up till now I thought it was an irritating trait to possess, however, I now see the value in this way of being.
Actually, I think I read this is something new from don Miguel maybe, is this the Fifth Agreement? I think so.
