I believe a lot of stuff, but predominantly I believe that my beliefs are somewhat irrelevant, and that what's not irrelevant is what I Know.

The only thing I Know is that there is experience: something, someone that experience, is conscious, and I normally believe that to be 'me' and/or 'I'. (I suppose I don't have to put the matrix(movie), solipsism etc. examples of why we can't know anything but this up in this forum?)

I believe that the only thing that isn't somewhat irrelevant 'to do' is to focus on what this consciousness/experience/experiencer is.

I try to always focus on who's experiencing, focus on this consciousness, and I've found a paradox in this 'quest': Whenever I focus on who I am, on who's experiencing, on the consciousness that perceives, on Rigpa, whatever you wanna call it, whenever I focus on That, it becomes an object that I'm conscious about, and it can't be an object! Because it's whats experiencing this object! So I try to focus on what is experiencing this experience of who I am, and then that to becomes an object etc. etc.

I love that paradox! And the more I try so 'solve' it the more I love it!
