>You don't need to believe. Only to be willing to be convinced.
I'm not sure there is any semantic difference between those two phrases,
regardless of what hemisphere you say them on.
The need to believe vs. the willingness to be convinced....
What is the difference?
Six of one and a much of a muchness of the other.
Here is definition of mysticism with the mysticism removed....
*A belief in the existence of realities beyond perceptual or intellectual
apprehension that are central to being and directly accessible by
subjective experience.*
