How to Believe in Anything and for It to Be All Right


  1. Begin by focusing on your potential
  2. Create a space or "buffer zone" between yourself and the belief you're expected to entertain
  3. Extend a thin line of thought over the buffer zone to make contact with the idea
  4. Pretend as if you have feelers or antennae; investigate the belief to see if it seems sour
  5. Maintain a buffer zone around yourself on all sides, like a donut
  6. This will help you feel safe when you come into contact with foreign ideas and strong opinions
  7. If the item seems sweeter than it is sour, bring it in a little closer to examine it more fully
  8. Stay calm, don't allow anything to erupt
  9. Radiate your own pulse outward and watch how it interacts with the new belief
  10. Bring things closer if they harmonize; if not, keep them at a distance
