    This is the first time I take a dive into Plato's Cave. It relates to me because what you describe was similar to when I woke up from a cult and I was faced with challenges after because awakening is not without great sacrifice and that sacrifice is painful.

    This is so well done! Thank you! It describes the A Course In Miracles training that everything is a movie that is also a dream. Jesus and Buddha were together in symbols snd studied with Plato. It is described in Gary Renard’s book Lifetimes when the Buddha and Jesus were together. I’m not sure if the exact title.

    All of the wisdom of this world is but a tiny raft upon which we must set sail when we leave this earth. If only there was a firmer foundation upon which to sail, perhaps some divine word.
    -Socrates
    The true Light who gives light to every man was coming into the world. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God- children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God.
    The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
    The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.
    The One who comes from above is above all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as one from the earth. The One who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what He has seen and heard, yet no one accepts His testimony. Whoever accepts His testimony has certified that God is truthful.
    The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. Whoever rejects the Son will not see life. Instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

      @@Mark.Allen1111 thinking and believing are not the same. believing and knowing are not the same. knowing required justified, true, belief. believing and faith are not the same either. faith is not "stronger" belief. Unlike beliefs, faith may not necessarily change easily in response to new evidence or reasoning because it often relies on a deeper emotional and spiritual connection. Believing, on the other hand, refers to accepting something as true, without knowing it's true. Beliefs can be based on evidence and reasoning, but they can also be influenced by emotions, personal experiences, cultural upbringing, and societal influences. Thinking refers to the mental process of using our cognitive faculties to process information, analyze, evaluate, reason, and draw conclusions. The result of thinking would be belief. But beliefs do not require thinking.
