You can’t estimate your confidence level in your belief system as a percentage? OK, I’ll use your own wording...
Are you simply content with the answers your belief system provides and still have the door ajar, open to new areas of exploration, or are you more confident than that?

I'm comfortable. But as my guru advised - if I come to a new, interesting fork in my road, I'll take it.

Sorry. even I put him on ignore he is getting me the scarlet slapdown. I gotta stop responding.
Not sure whether the objection expressed about the bickering doesn't serve better than to delete them, but "whatever works" as they say. Many times suggested the option to ignore as well. Seems you might be getting there!

You’re comfortable with your current belief system, because it resonates with you, but you wouldn’t say you have a high confidence that it’s the clearest view of reality. Is that fair to say?

No.
I told you I don't think in those terms. The only times I've questioned reality were during the late 60s and early 70s when I partook of various hallucinogenic substances. Since then, we get along just fine.

Do you believe “the life spirit exists within virtually everything” is a true statement?
And "god" plays the music to which sub atomic particles dance.
OK, you believe that “the life spirit exists within virtually everything” is a true statement.
If you believe that to be true, don’t you have some degree of confidence that “the life spirit exists within virtually everything” is ‘reality‘?
