Well, like I said down below, on the most basic level, the experience of anything, anything, anything, is not dependent on beliefs.  I don't think you will get an argument about that, but that isn't what you were saying up above.  Up there, you were talking about beliefs being wrappers and that's why in Rawat's cult they have changed so much, or something like that.  It was pretty silly.

So, you can have an experience without belief, but like the "rotten inside" belief that Rawat was promoting at the time, after you have the "experience"of knowledge sans beliefs,  lots of beliefs get laid on top of it as to what it is, what it is doing, where it come from, how you should respond as a result, etc..etc., and almost all of those were presented by Prem Rawat, much of it in the process of getting ready to have the experience.  That is what constitutes the cult, not the experience itself.

So you have the experience, they you BELIEVE that Rawat is the source of it, or that you will rot inside if you don't practice it.  Whatever the belief Rawat is peddling at the time.

But again, if Rawat was just offering an experience and NOT a belief system, why does he require "preparation" or "keys" or whatever before he gives someone the four technques?  You never seem to get around to answering that question.
