Oh, I don't think the OP is as specific as the poster intended from the discussion so far.
I would however like to add an element that I don't thing either of us has touched on that might be important to the discussion and fits your analogy well. That is the role of landmarks. I think even in beliefs, we can have landmarks that help us find out way. Scripture even talks about not leaving man without evidence. I think of these as more of landmarks to mark our way than anything else. Man seems to be drawn to God, the trick is finding our way to Him. Just a thought for what it's worth
I can agree with that absolutely.
Sometimes those landmarks may not be visible immediately or we don't see them till our state of mind or strength of faith allows it and I think it may even be possible we never consciously see them but that doesn't mean we didn't or they aren't helpful to us.
And I do realize this is spacey sounding stuff.
