Knowing and believing. Besides "love", they must be among the most used and abused words. Knowledge acquired through experience, through reason, through data, through proofs, through authorities, through intuition, through insight, through feelings, through instincts, through enlightenment, through faith, and more. How can we find our way through this jungle? If knowing was only a theoretical issue, we would probably be stuck in the jungle forever. But knowing is above all practical, which makes it so essential for each of us in the way we live our lives. How do we find our way through the jungle of different forms of knowing, then? Through believing. We manage our way through the jungle by holding fast to our beliefs. We reach all sorts of different beliefs, some very deep and strong, some less so, some from a source some from another source, often from conflicting sources. But somehow we build a balance among them. If our balance breaks, we are then in serious trouble.
