where do you find your faith?
    #7841734 - 01/06/08 10:29 PM (16 years, 26 days ago)

Let me start by clarifying what I mean by "Faith" since it's such a vaporous word, and is bound to be different from person to person.

When I say faith in this context I mean a belief in something that you can not prove with traditional science. Something that can be proven by traditional science wouldn't really be faith, because it doesn't take any kind of "leap" to get to it, you arrive at a conclusion by your 5 senses, which we seem to find very easy to believe {seeing is believing}

for me first it was psychedelics, and then it was the little bit that I understand about quantum theory, and more recently my experience with intention and magick.
But for some reason i'm finding it really hard to see the faith I once had in all of the things that i've intuitively felt my whole life.
A few things went wrong for me, and it's been hard to find the faith I once had, I find myself talking and thinking like a bitter skeptic who doesn't even WANT to believe in the shit i've come to believe in. (you know, the kinda "out there" don't-tell-the-people-you-work-with shit?)
I thought that when I gained my faith that it would be like a light switch that would stay on until I turned it off, and maybe it is and I just can't find the switch in the dark.
but it feels more like a source that I need to return to for replenishment. But i've lost my way.


so I want to know where you people find the faith in the more 'out there' beliefs you hold? I need to be reminded of my faith.

I started as a kid with laughing. That was something.

Then I got into psychedelics.. they gave me my faith, true faith, one I thought I could never have. A great gift it was.

Nowadays it's looking at what the universe is. Pictures of stars, nebulae, galaxies. Einsteinian literature and the like. Extra-terrestrial visitation.

My faith is strong.
