Assumptions video problem.How do you avoid assumptions?

[Ineedanswers]

all of our external claims are predicated on the ASSUMPTION that our senses and reasoning correlate with reality.but since this an assumption I cannot really trust direct experience because I’m not sure if my senses accurately capture reality.how do I get around this problem?

eg-leo said that Christians assume Jesus is real.the reason his existence is an assumption is because Christians have never seen Jesus

but even if a Christian  see’s  Jesus ,how can they know he’s real?wont they have to ASSUME that their eyes are accurately capturing reality? What if it’s a hallucination? Or they are schizophrenic?

So, you're assuming that assumptions are false or bad, and that they should be avoided?

Hehehe.

You are actually assuming that experience/perception is a veil that keeps you from the Truth.

What you're missing is that experience/perception is Absolute Truth.

Direct experience is NOT an assumption. But all assumptions are a kind of experience.

No, you are making a higher order assumption: there is an objective reality outside of our senses, or an existence outside of existence.

The lowest amount of assumption (zero) you can ever make is just bare existence in any given moment
