What's the Difference Between Buddhism and Other Belief Systems?

Most every spiritual tradition i've studied has some kind of scapegoated part um. I started out thinking of them as very useful metaphors. But it is like there's this other inner world that just has its own laws of physics and relationships. It's the same world that a lot of shamans traverse y. And then another thing that's very interesting to talk about is, you know, once we get over that, how to believe in it? You know, what happens when we treat our parts with care?"
