What does it feel like to hold a belief?

About the same as trying to hold down a turtle head about 30 minutes after eating Chipotle.
It’s kind of fun, but a lot pressure.

It feels like hosting a daemon that is waiting for the right conditions to take over my behavior.

For me is a bit like, you see something, you look at it, like the female body on an anatomy book, for instance, you ask and is told that's the female body, you see many ppl agree, and you solidify this thought in your mind in a way that is unbreakable.

Holding a belief doesn't feel like holding a belief. That's what makes it a belief;
People in the past probably couldn't even conceive of a world without a god, it wasn't in their vocabulary. And most modern people can't conceive that the idea of a self is an illusion in itself
