Direct experience : trust or belief ?

[Paul-from-France]

Hello everyone ! The question is simple yet not easy to tackle : How can one trust in the truthfulness of direct experience after realizing that direct experience itself is a subjective paradigm ? How can direct experience be True while being solipsistic ?

If you are tempted to respond " you'll know it when you see it." then either I'm not there yet (most likely) or we all need to contemplate again what Truth truly entails.

 

Thank you

Paul

Does the Truth have to be Objective? If it is Objective, in which Object does the Truth hide? 

Is your direct experience only true after being validated by other subjects, or it can be validated only by you as the Subject?

If direct experience is all you have, who creates the boundary between the Subject and Object?

Direct experience can't be a belief, because belief requires faith that something will happen in the future.

If you have direct experience, you don't need faith that something will happen because it is happening to you, DIRECTLY.

Ooooo... good question. What is trust? Is trust a thought? Is trust a belief? Or is trust a knowing that's so deep it's what you KNOW thoughts about trusting with?

Awareness is directly aware of the thoughts; paradigm, and solipsistic.

In direct experience, what’s a “there”?
