Those that practice the path. eventually go beyond faith belief and doubt into a world where what at first is taken on faith is now a lived reality.
The pragmatic dharma movement has many practitioners claiming they attained what the Buddha taught. often without the Spiritual clutter we see in the more traditional Buddhist religions..

Thank you for your response. I certainly have been in these states of being. Especially so when I practiced journeying. The thing is, they come and go.
Not that I find something wrong with that.
