Just as you do from where you are.
Buddhism as a belief system, is probably one belief system that conveys much of what I relate to from within myself..so I have no issues with it, more aware not to be attached in belief to it. Even without Buddhism as my guide, I have come to this awareness naturally in this way.
I am aware now of the open state, open mind, when clear not holding myself to anything, how freeing it is to move in this way. I don't hold myself to belief, but I am not saying its bad, so again you bring this idea of something being a bad notion into the picture, which you did last time in our interactions.
There is no good and bad in me defining what I am aware of in me. It just is.

Have you truly moved so along the path that you can let go of everything?
If not it is always a good thing to use the Wisdom from those who have to guide us along the way.
Also, your post about people needing to fill the empty space with a belief is what I was referring too. It seems like a negative to me as well as a misunderstanding of emptiness.
Again without doing the practices and experiencing the changes they bring one can't really understand any spiritual tradition. Once you do understand then it is no longer a belief but a realization of being.
