10.8
An understanding of path
 
  It is now time to reveal an important understanding about the journey of UCA and Self that you have taken so far. For a moment, think back to how you perceived the world and ideas before you began reading UCA. Chances are, you saw yourself living in a world full of beliefs, beliefs of who you are, what you do, who you know, what you know and where you might be going.  
  It was then that we began the journey of UCA. Do you recall your first reactions to the ideas, the models contained in UCA? At first your reaction might have been anger, disbelief. Later, as you pursued came the possible nauseous feeling as long held beliefs seem to crumble.  
  But at no point did UCA leave you isolated, leave you grasping to fill a gap. For each and every belief that has been challenged, an idea, a model has been offered.  
  Let's put it another way- for every stone turned, an imaginary stone has been put in its place. For nothing that UCA claims cold be called fact, could be called reality in the sense that scientists and philosophers like to arrange facts and thesis as proof. Life is its own proof. Existence is its own verification.  
  Step by step, piece by piece each and every belief you may have held dearly and closely has been considered and slowly but surely replaced with a little idea. Fact changed to models until the entire world, the greatest troubles and mountains of problems that we face are no more real than the dreams at night.  
  It is only now that we can see why the journey has been the way it has been. For the answer to no beliefs is not nothing, but a model of things. The answer to division is not suppression, but divine enlightenment- the clarity to see the highest mountain and the smallest grain of sand, to know the difference and to consider that knowledge when appropriate.  
  It is only now that you may understand the words "belief is not required". It is only now that you can see the world as millions of ideas in motion, awareness in all its shapes and colours in motion that you can see the reality of the dream. It is thought that is real- it is the physical that is the illusion.  
  This is the very real hope that UCA extends out to each and every one of us, that the beliefs of old may no longer divided us, not by the compromise of beliefs or the invention of new beliefs, but by the end of need of beliefs.
