as human beings, we are creatures of belief.
some might think they have eradicated all their 'irrational' beliefs, and are now working with 'rational' thoughts, but everything we do is based on beliefs.
the reason for this is the Veil
The Veil prevents us from ever coming into direct contact with reality as it is. There is always a shield between us and other beings (ths illusion of separation).
as such, our attitudes towards beliefs becomes a critical factor in how fast we can evolve and change
at the start of Session 2, Ra offers this:
effectively saying that many people are going to 'construct' around the words the Ra offers, and that the true meaning is going to be distorted to some degree.
now, we are all beginners or initiates on this Journey. Our beliefs guide us towards the Light.
holding our Beliefs lightly allows them to change more easily when contrary data comes into attention. Rather than dismissing that data, we can maybe alter or adjust our beliefs to accomodate a 'greater reality or unity'. Our beliefs become more 'encompassing' to hold that new data or experience.
when we hold to our Beliefs tightly, that prevents them from changing easily because the ego, pride, and self-defense come into play. We become 'locked in' because we need to defend this 'strong opinion or belief' that we hold so dearly.
that is not to say that we flip-flop on positions, when the wind sways. It is more that the ineffable Truth is better and better approximated if we allow our Beliefs to adjust for changing circumstance. In maths, that is an asymptotic curve

I hope this is not too 'pushy'
