Difference Between Knowing And Believing by Erimaclout: 9:19am On Apr 17, 2023
knowing is based on evidence and reasoning, while believing is based on personal conviction or faith. Knowing is generally considered to be a higher standard of certainty than believing, as it requires evidence and justification.

Believing is knowing (minus the wherewithal to be able to prove it to another person).
Also, there is nothing like knowing in this our reality.
Every knowing includes a certain amount of believing!

I don't have the capacity to absolutely know anything.
Just because I THINK I am a man doesn't mean I am a man

There is a red cup on this table. I believe it by faith.
Only a fool says in his heart that there is no red cup on this table.

My OPINION is, our reality is an illusion at some level. And I believe our thoughts and words help create it.
My OPINION is, If you can force yourself to visualize or vocalize something it becomes possible, no matter how impossible it may seem!

So you see it, say it, and get in the groove of it: the hard part is, you gotta act and behave like you already have a lot of money while broke! cheesy
