Does Belief Limits Experience?



Do not believe the Truth... ;-) 


Be-lief:

1. The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another.
2. Mental acceptance of and conviction in the truth, principle, proposition, idea, actuality, or validity of something.
3. Something believed or accepted as true, especially a particular tenet or a body of tenets accepted by a group of persons.
4. Religious faith.

Let me get this clear, there is nothing wrong with belief or believing. In fact, it's part of who we are as human beings. Believing, like conceptualizing and imagining, is a potent implement in our arsenal of cognitive tools. However, neither believing nor conceptualizing nor imagining nor any of the other implements in our arsenal of cognitive tools can cause experiencing  who we are, even though all of them are essential for a human life to function and work.

So, does belief limits experience? When you believe that something is possible, wouldn't you think that it is possible? And when you experience something, wouldn't you think that it is real?
