Examining Faith

I've never liked that word,

it always meant to me,

following someone else's

Description..

And with no proof,

believing it.

To me that is just 

Weak.

Faith was like putting your 

Intention

towards something

that's not even real,

just some professed idea of Real,

without any proof.

Then I reflect upon a time,

in Tibet,

and earlier in this Life,

where I was given 

Practices,

Meditations,

that required Visualizations,

certain breaths

or movements that

were not part of my Description..

Yet I put my Intention behind them,

to Find that they were keys,

like Reflections of ...

like pieces of the Pattern,

that built something that hitherto

had existed beyond my

Experience.

Like the Microcosmic analogy's,

of some Macrocosmic Reality.

So was it Faith that drove me to

follow instructions..

where I had no.....

idea

of what the outcome would be,

beyond the thought that

it was part of a Path to Enlightenment.?

I was Driven,

and I wielded my Intention

very strongly,

but was it Faith that

led me running headlong into 

a Reality beyond..

...so far beyond

my Description.

But I do not have Faith in

the Easter Bunny,

or Santa,

or some Super Hero God Character

that ...

has stories far less believable than

 Santa or the Easter Bunny.

I'm not easily led by 

Nonsense.

OHHH YEAH !!

I would have never had Faith in

my Teachers,

or techniques..

If first I hadn't 

Had that experience of

"Superconsciousness"

that one day on the mountain in 1970.

You go into the Light once...

Everything Changes..

You sit on the outer edge of Creation,

looking back in at the Web of IT ALL..

You change,

and you can't ever go back.

You never forget

the Possibilities.

You can hide from em,

but you never forget. 

For me Faith is

built upon Experience.

When we Know something

in our core,

we have Faith in that.

Blind Faith

Does NOT serve Evolution.

I think if a Teacher

requires a student

to have Faith in them,

without First

coaxing the Experience

that would guarantee the Faith

 of the student...

Then that Teacher has 

a lot to Learn.
