Culturally, belief has a bad press being unfortunately mostly associated with the blind belief required of religion, with an underlying admonishment of no questioning.
But there is clearly more to belief than this. It is a quality, for starters, so we immediately realise there must be more to it than meets the eye. So far we can see that there is a bridge of some sort from not knowing to knowing (A BRIDGE anagrams to BE A GRID.) But that’s not the whole of it; there must a REAL belief, what it is to itself, not just the 'I wish it were so' type. It seems that belief is a tangible thread already cast out like a fishing line; it touches the reality of what you believe and you then reel in the knowledge of it – its intelligence.
When you start on a true development path, or a real re-alignment journey - for the reason of self-discovery which is true human purpose seeking - then you begin to learn how to cast out that thread and feel the tug of it catching on a truth - or even falling away from an untruth or a non-thing. So, if truths were fish and you cast your line, reel it in and nothing is there, then you need to accept that and try again until it caught on a fish of truth. Now, these fish of truth are stronger than you and so THEY reel YOU in; i.e. you travel up the line towards them, you don’t bring them down the line to you.

So, you must hone your skill at being a belief-fisherman. You can't catch truth-fish without patience, quietness, alertness and all those instincts that a skilled fisherman has. So now we can see that you need other qualities to help you with this one; and that belief as a quality is a very special one indeed.
I love this idea of truth fishing ! Colin
