Tom has spoken about this. I did not find it like that, more that what I had known / believed has ceased to be true. Then, everything ceased even to be. What is true does not change but who perceives the truth changes greatly. Yes, they say a stage is found in which one realizes one knows nothing. Tom has spoken about this.

I suppose realizations can come in all shapes and sizes, in a manner of speaking. It may be that the process is a loss of belief, but it is more likely a loss of the believer. And in turn, the loss of everything.

It does not exist. The only fact is the belief, so start there. If you are full of beliefs, there is nothing wrong with that. But If you want to inquire within, be prepared to lose everything." I hadn't really considered this, Takuin, but it is a process of losing beliefs, to some extent at least. Maybe that is all realization is: losing all beliefs. Thoughts arise, thoughts pass through. But there is no one for them to stick to. And hence, no beliefs. You have to have a believe to have a belief, don't you? Yes, that seems clear. “If you want to explore this in yourself, forget about non-belief. It does not exist. The only fact is the belief, so start there.
