I will not accuse you of having any accidental beliefs, but I am curious about how the "no-belief" approach works in social relationships.
Sometimes you have to place your faith in other people. You have to believe in them even when they give you reason not to. I guess you could call it confidence and trust, rather than faith and belief. But what would you call it when time and time again confidence and trust were tested, and you still didn't give up?
Let me emphasize, before others jump on this, that I am aware I have taken the words out of the original context of your challenge to name your secret beliefs. I don't think you have any.
There are actions (estimates, guesses, predictions, etc.) that I take every day of my life. I am totally happy with anyone who wants to assign the word "belief" to them...to do so if it makes them happy.
I do not really consider them "beliefs", mostly because I think the word is torturously abused.
My main thrust, as I have indicated time after time after time...is in the area of explanations for the true nature of REALITY.
I HAVE NO BELIEFS WITH REGARD TO THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY.
Many, many, many people do. Some "believe" there are gods (or a GOD) involved; some "believe" there are no gods; some "believe" there is a non-duality...others "believe" the naive reality equivalent of duality...and so forth.
For all "beliefs" about REALITY...I assign the word "guess."
Others do not agree with me...and that is fine with me.
As for "having confidence" and trust...yup, I do.
Thanks for asking, Cyracuz...and for addresssing the question clearly...and in a civil, respectful way.
