Having Faith

Vibe Commentary-3/04

Greetings all,
This may be a new point of view to most who may read this Blog. This Blog may be completely different in perspective, to others. I’m not “railing against the wind” but instead I am offering a common sense understanding of how the Law of Attraction relates to the everyday things we all do. We all have “issues” that come from our Perspectives & Beliefs; from which we want to feel “relief”.
If you have read and are following this thread of Vibrational Offerings; you’ll notice that I skip days. This is because I felt the “Daily Quotes” didn’t offer a point of view that inspired sufficient contrast on which to comment. —————————-0——————————–

Today’s Thought: Having Faith
“Not truth, but faith it is that keeps the world alive.”- Edna St. Viincent Millay

Author’s Take: Faith is a glue that connects our life to those things we hold most dear. Mostly it is an intangible feeling or expectation of the Reaping for which we Sowed. The idea is that we get to choose how others treat us, in faith or with faith. We are tested as to the strength of our resolve in the Belief of our Faith.

Ending Thought: I need to value truth, but I realize that not everything important can be measured against truth.

Faith & Truth are 2 very Different concepts which have 2 different vibrations. Neither are Tangible or Verifiable. Each individual has their own perspective of what they mean & although similar, each is unique.

The word “Faith”, like “god”, evokes ancient memories of Religious dogma & Routine. This says that we have control over another’s behavior to act in a way that makes US feel better. This is some sort of Test of how well we believe what & how someone else says we should,as though someone is Keeping Score.

Needing Truth is subjective to the person & what they think “Truth” is to them. The idea that one more thing has to “Measured” against its value, is the Human tendency to ‘Weigh the Pros & Cons”(which usually create conflict).
—————————–0——————————— We have no control or say how another will act. Most people have trouble controlling their own actions & words. That alone takes a lot of effort and time for most to master. Wishing, hoping and praying all involve some level of faith. This is generally thought of from a Religious viewpoint. We have to have Faith to believe in some(one)thing we can’t see or have any empirical evidence of existing; other than in Faith.
What is Faith? It is defined as: “having complete trust or confidence in… something” (anything?) or in a religious sense: “Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion; based on spiritual apprehension rather than Proof.” That only gives us a clinical, logical formalized percepcion but no clear meaning.
Given a little thought, I feel we would all agree that a Belief is just a thought that one constantly thinks and holds as truth.

In the spirit of the LoA, that IS the meaning of a Belief. So proof is not necessary for Faith to exist as it is a construct of the mind; a thought that is held to be true. I will admit that having faith or a belief in an Idea that serves to lift one up, is vital to the sanity we work to maintain in this world of chaos which we’ve created.
The crucial question here, to me would be; Where did this Faith/Belief come from & did we come to the conclusion of the belief on our own OR are we following the ideas of someone else’s perceptions and interpretations???

As the Law of Attraction puts forth(my belief), the thought you spend the most amount of time thinking about is the vibration you offer to the Universe, and because of your (extra) attention to that thought, LoA will bring more of the same into your Physical experience. If your faith/belief is in the God of organized religions AND the experience of your faith makes you feel Good; then that is what’s best for You (as an individual) and best for your Path in life. The feeling of wellness religious faith allows the believer to experience is in agreement with the Inner-Being’s opinion of the thoughts involved in this practice. If, during your expansion and growth of knowledge, you feel your faith being “Tested” and the feeling of gladness is not part of the experience; then your Spirit is not in agreement with the thoughts brought forth by the belief of “Being Tested”.

Who or what is Testing our belief? Can anyone, other than ourselves; ever know where our level of our faith is or in what we believe? If your answer is; god knows, then that’s a whole other story (and commentary, see my Blog).
Going back to the LoA; we are all (every living thing)created from Source Energy/(whichever..)God. As such, we are Extensions of that creating energy. Therefore, we all have access to the same energy. In other words, if We know, god knows, the reverse is also true. How does that come into play with being tested then? Are we testing and why do we need to test ourselves??
In the physical world, science uses tests to prove the sustainability of the test subject. If we feel we are being or need to be tested, it makes sense that We have a question regarding our faith. Using our Emotional Guidance System, if we have feelings that make us uncomfortable, we are not in agreement or alignment with our Spirit’s viewpoint on the same thought of the topic at hand.

In short, faith is good, as long as it provides a feeling of happiness or joy. The comfort of our thought habit should come from within, in agreement with Source and not because we are completing a task set before us by somebody else. There is good information in the most simple examples of film, literature, connection and daily experiences that can strengthen our Faith. It is YOUR interpretation of that information and how that makes you Feel that makes it of value to you & your belief and faith in whatever idea you follow.-JMO
