What is faith?

Many People would feel stuck.  They can’t move their lives forward because they don’t have the necessary faith in themselves. Doubts, fears from the past rear their heads.  Consequently, the action we take is often miscalculated, off target or not effective.

Faith is a gift bestowed on humankind, not to be dissected and judged but received thankfully. It requires wholehearted acceptance through a willing suspension of disbelief. Your body can’t go where your mind has never been .What we need to do first is convince our self that we can do it, nurture faith in ourselves, and then take the step.


So many of us feel we can’t cross the bridge because we don’t have the right credential or the proper background. It’s never what you are that holds you back-it’s what you think you’re not. That’s why we need to grow faith if we are to achieve our goals. 
Faith is like the tides it is not always constant. The only way to keep your faith “tuned up” is to be true to your spiritual journey. Turn your eyes inward toward the spirit that you are. See the light. See the love. We are reflections of universal love.
We live in a make-believe world many masks carried. Global yet not knowing next door neighbour. Nuclear family, neutron living. All of us exist, we do, but do not live life, we merely play roles, sister, daughter, friend, businessman, professional. We carry ever growing emotional baggage which diffuses our focus hence we contradict with everyone and everything.
Our search for permanent bliss consciousness in the external ephemeral world is wrong. This bliss is not a thing to be brought from outside, it can only come from within; this requires great earnestness and concentration, not on some single purpose, but in the understanding of the complex problem of living.
When we attain that state of consciousness, the experiences are totally unknown on the human level of life. That is the goal which the world is seeking, even though it does not realize quite what that goal is or how to attain it?
