I would like to share what I have been learning about faith, as a way of giving back to those who have helped me understand.  A study of faith has connected me to a heart-centered place I can believe in before anything else, it is universal and personal, not conceptual but real.

Faith, real faith, not blind faith is a hallmark of a creator.  Even something as simple as baking a cake, requires faith.  True faith makes the impossible possible.  True faith can move mountains, change and transform lives, whereas for those without faith, can change ever really take place?

Any great achievement requires faith.  Few if any knows exactly how they are going to achieve such goals, only that they are going to.  To live by faith is an entirely different way of living.  However, the mind obeys certain laws that when understood and applied makes living by faith a more certain way.

So what is Faith really?

“You can live in fear or you can live in faith.  You can´t do both at the same time.”

“Faith is one of those secrets of life that once understood gives you a lifeline to your dreams.
Faith is the power that creates everything in the world.
Faith is the power behind everything. Faith is certainty.”

̶  Sasha Xarrian

Faith is a wonderful gift.  For those who have it, can do wonderful things with their lives.

Faith, in simplicity, is akin to expectation.  A baby expects to be fed by her mother.  A student expects to graduate.  It is therefore future oriented, breaking out of present limitation to realise the next desired state.  It therefore implies the use of intention, whether this is realised consciously or not.

Gratitude is the sister of faith.  Faith and gratitude connects one to power, both relate us directly to spirit and to the “life more abundant”.  The practise of faith and gratitude is a mode of living that integrates the spiritual and the material, it is conscious co-creative living.

I observed myself being tested by faith.  With no money in my bank or my wallet for some days at that time and unsure of where any might come from, I saw my own faith rise and fall like a thermometer. Clearly faith and belief were conceptual not solid bedrock.  Until an inner shift took place when I realised that that to which one expresses gratitude and that to which one has faith are not somehow remote or out there in any way but in me, that in truth I am expressing gratitude and having faith in my Self, my on being, and I was able to show it.

Healing and balance came when I was able to say “No!”, when my sense of value and self-worth was stronger than my need to validate myself from others opinions.  This reflected itself in my external world in lack and subsequent prosperity.  The cause was a mental subconscious belief.  Balance came from a change in attitude, by deeply knowing that the value of the infinite is really part of me and to honor that, and by creating a new subconscious belief.

Look for the gift in everything that seems unfavourable in your life and realize that the gift is the reason.
When you see the gift, the pain disappears – like magic.”

̶ Sasha Xarrian 1

It is faith and purpose in the use of the imagination
which make the difference between the scientist and the dreamer.

The reaction of gratitude upon one.s own mind produces faith,
and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith.

̶  Wallace Wattles

We can observe an exponential growth in the demand for “law of attraction” based education, people in all walks of life are, wanting to know how to directly create their desired experience.  That this may indicate that humanity is tending to become more consciously co-creative, that this is our next quantum leap, is a good sign.  This desire, taken as a phenomena, relates us to being rather than doing, following our joy and natural creativity rather than chasing our dreams they come to us, achieving by giving others what they need rather than go-getting, and this other way requires faith.

We are here to develop our gifts of intentionality.  Faith links our intentionality with the worlds of the unseen.  Quantum physicists describe how things pop into existence from a “super-position of infinite potential”, that this is determined by choice, by expectation, by the act of looking or fixing the attention upon a particular state – that state being entirely dependant upon what one believes about one’s personal reality and intends.

To believe in the things you can see and touch is no belief at all;
but to believe in the unseen is the triumph and a blessing.

̶  Abraham Lincoln

“Faith is the evidence of the unseen and the substance of the thing hoped for.”

̶  Tibetan Teacher Djwhal Khul

Belief then, along with Faith and Gratitude are cornerstones and the tools of the Creative Worker.

Faith bridges between the unseen worlds of super-consciousness, the higher states of Being-ness and the universal sub-consciousness.  To truly evolve one’s Self we need to develop our super-conscious skills and our sub-conscious skills of connection, communication and interplay.  To develop one without the other is to be ungrounded or self-oriented at the expense of a greater whole.

The power to create is accessible to all via our sub-consciousness.  That aspect of ourselves, learned through our dreams, engaged by the world of our imagination, is intelligent creative substance, a unified field of infinite and abundant potential out of which whole worlds can be made.  It is often referred to as the feminine aspect of Spirit, the Great Mother, creative substance or matter imbued with intelligence.

The purpose of the universal unconscious, thinking stuff or “formless substance” is to create and provide forms for whatever is desired from out of its´ infinite field of potential.

Our role, as intelligent humans, is to work out our plan or vision – our intentionality – with the aid of the Cornucopia of Her infinite and abundant potential as we simultaneously evolve (expand or increase) into ever greater states of being, which we apprehend through super-consciousness.  We develop awareness of super-conscious states through intuition, connections to our higher Self or Soul, as “group-consciousness”, in ever increasing awareness of telepathy and synchronicity leading ultimately to realise that all greater organisms even solar and stellar are simply evolved states of being of which we are a part and can become.

Universal substance, the world of the unconscious level of creation, is characterised by innate intelligence but it is humans that have the potential to bring the component of Love into creative acts of intention; love being the means by which we relate to others, to greater wholeness and ultimately to greater states of being.  To speak for the heart of the matter, it is therefore true to repeat the words of the Teacher, “You come to the Father through Me, the Christ” or, to put this another way:

Humanity is learning to master the Laws of Creation.  We are becoming co-creative in the higher sense as we consciously seek to create our life experience to contribute, to serve or to give back.  “More life to all and less to none”, says Wallace Wattles.

To be effective co-creators we need to develop our super-conscious skills as well as our sub-conscious skills of integration, communication and interplay and creativity.   Humans live in three worlds simultaneously.  Our day to day awareness of being and doing, higher or super-consciousness, of which intuition and synchronicity are the signs, and the universal unconscious state which is intelligent but uninformed.  True love, or universal love, is the link or bridge between super and sub-conscious worlds, the means that relate us to the Father and to the Mother.

The Divine Marriage in Heaven, on Earth, where “all things are made new” and there arises a new heaven and a new earth is made with love in action which is service to our fellow mankind.

The Science of Creation that we need to master for building the new Temple of Heaven on Earth is made four-square and these are the four cornerstones:

Belief, Faith, Gratitude and Service
