When you can only see and attach to false beliefs, therein lies the root to suffering. It’s in letting go of false beliefs that you will see there are many parts to the whole, this reveals the emptiness of all things…
When you stay attached to false beliefs, life becomes stagnant. Although life is still experienced, it’s seen this way by everyone except those who don’t see life through false beliefs; this is the state of emptiness which needs no belief. Everything is a part of the whole so nothing is truly what a false belief makes it out to be. When you look at a tree and apply the belief the tree is its parts, the trunk, limbs, branches, and leaves, the true nature of the tree is lost. If you can see this with the tree, you can see it with everything, including yourself. Without a belief of you, where is the you? Most don’t even think about the parts that make up this you.
There is much freedom in seeing this because it allows for the emptiness of all things to be revealed, and when you see there’s nothing to believe in no matter what, you are free. Another example is you give a form that keeps track of time and label it a watch. There are so many parts to it, which part is truly the watch? False beliefs will keep you in ignorance because it will block out seeing the true nature of emptiness in all things. With false beliefs you can only see and attach to form and therein lies the root to all suffering. It’s in letting go of the false beliefs in all forms that you will see there are just parts which reveals the emptiness of all things…
