Every belief you hold cost you something.

Not money. Vision.

To adopt any worldview, you trade the whole of reality for a workable slice of it. That's not a flaw, a finite mind has no other option. But the trade is silent. Nobody hands you a receipt.

The questions you stopped asking. The experiences you learned to explain away. The people whose reality stopped registering. None of it gets reported. It just stops appearing.

And a belief you never have to notice is a belief you'll never question.

So check the ledger: your faith, your skepticism, your philosophy. What did you have to stop seeing to keep believing?

Sit with this one.
