But it is your belief system that it isn't a belief system.  That's part of what you believe.  You cannot have it both ways.  You can't say there is no belief and then state a belief about it.  Sorry, just doesn't work. 

And you have beliefs about all of it, don't you?  Of course you do, and so did I.  The only difference is you don't think you do, which is, again another belief.

Of course there is a belief system surrounding "knowledge" and the "experience of knowledge."  And of course it had changed radically over the years, at least for public consumption, with no explanation provided.  Don't you agree?  I thought you did.  I thought that was why you  concocted this other belief system about beliefs being wrappers and discarding them, the point of which doesn't make much sense, but again, that is another belief system or rather I think rationalization posing as a belief system.  Sorry, it's true.

You say beliefs have no part in the experience of knowledge, well, that's true of any experience, on the most basic level.  But after you "experience" your "master" lays all sorts of beliefts, (mostly obtained directly from Maharaji) about what that experience is, where it came from, and who is responsible for it, and why you should be grateful to him.  THAT is the belief system.  And of course, the whole knowledge preparation process of your cult is to get the aspirant/experiencer to have the right set of beliefs ready to lay on the experience.  Heaven forbid they should come out of the knowledge session thinking they just experienced brain chemistry and the Prem Rawat had nothing to do with it.

Ex-premies will keep saying that till they are blue in the face, but you will probably not get it.
