Disbelief Quotes

Ordinary people do not question the commonly accepted version of reality. They conform to the standard values of subduing enemies and cherishing friends and family. Materialism, ambition and mundane achievements are the worldly hallmarks of success. We experience the phenomenal world and our minds as solid and truly existent. Very few people doubt these assertions and question their solidity. Yet, the process of disbelief is the first step on the spiritual path Picture Quote #1

The challenge is to make an intelligent reader suspend disbelief, to seduce them into the reality of a narrative Picture Quote #1
