Is it possible to survive without Assumption?

Has anyone here managed to survive without assumptions? Or just a few specific ones for certain occasions?

It depends how deep you go to break assumptions and what you see as surviving. If you don't assume that you will die or suffer from walking under a moving car then you may actually try that and die. I agree that it is an assumption that something bad happens from it, but still I can't publicly tell people to find direct experience from that, because that would be immoral from me. It pretty much depends from what you see as an assumption. Even that you exist is one that you should contemplate and interesting results can come.

@Kksd74628 I see. Its all relative. It depends on each specific individual life situation. 

I remember sadhguru said he has been up to 3 days or more without a single thought.

Your perceptual system is based on approximations, and your cognitive system evolved out of your perceptual system. There is no getting around it. To live without assumptions requires infinite knowledge. You can't survive with that as a finite being.

[A Fellow Lighter]

At the centre of every thought and action is a belief. This belief is what regulates one's behaviour - the stronger the belief then the stronger the regulation. But this belief only plays a role in your survival, and is not ‘God’.

So yes, one can survive without assumptions. There is no direct correlation with the two.
