Interesting.
I see it in another way after reading this.
If you believe, you are open to the influence of reality of it. The non-belief made the "magic" not work. It's much like in psychological examination of curses and such, not believing it makes the curse lose it's power.
But what if the "curse" instead is an intended blessing?
Good point. And then we have the confusion of anticipation restricts. The C's mentioned that as a way to protect from attack.
I would think that anticipating some hyper-dimensional attack would imply belief that it could happen. In that case, how does anticipation restrict?
Confusing!
I think It is like living in a state of "knowing that we don't know"
which is a fact, so relying on this fact is acting on knowledge rather than brief, and it is a fact that allow us to perceive the open nature of events and nature rather than a limited belief.
If a person Believes there is an attack always, everything will appear as an attack, pattern recognition running amok type of thing, even when the attack as such is not taking place outside, but actually finds its way in through the belief that there is an attack, a self-draining situation where the belief is the instrument of the attack.
It is not knowing what to expect but learning from past experiences how things happen, and more about learning to expect things. or "Expect the unexpected".
Living in fixed beliefs binds us to disillusionment , which is a trigger for depression and that sort of thing, but, if we make use of the disillusionment to our advantage, I.e. realizing the power of knowledge protects and the idea of becoming free of the illusions because of what it does to us, then the disillusionment is the catalyst for growth. Realizing also that maintaining an illusion requires constant energy constantly on it, without it, our energy is ours.
My two cents
