Ta Jim - for your words
I have made 180s much of my life - as I have spent the last 20 years in a learning mode - primarily learning about myself.
I have found that with me - convictions are absolutely fine as long as they can be regarded as temporary residents - easily moved on, out or reversed.
Nothing wrong with feeling strongly about a subject - it's the giving it up which tests its importance in our lives.
Sometimes convictions deny us growth.
This is like really really bad yoga.Therefore, to find out the truth of this matter, you must understand the ways of the mind, right? If the mind is crooked you will never see straight; if the mind is very limited you cannot perceive the illimitable. The mind is the instrument of perception and, to perceive truly, the mind must be made straight, it must be cleansed of all conditioning, of all fear. The mind must also be free of knowledge, because knowledge diverts the mind and makes things twisted. The capacity of the mind to invent, to imagine, to speculate, to think - this capacity must be put aside so that the mind is very clear and very simple

I'm getting scared - yet again I am in agreement.
I'm not looking out my bedroom window tonight - the moon will most surely be blood red.
China - try shorter, simpler declarative sentences. Then we can make sense of what you are trying to say.
