Metaphysical meaning of faith (rw)
faith--The perceiving
power of the
mind linked with the
power to shape
substance.
Spiritual assurance; the
power to do the seemingly impossible. It is a magnetic
power that draws unto us our heart's
desire from the
invisible spiritual substance.
Faith is a deep inner knowing that that which is sought is already ours for the taking. "Now faith is assurance of
things hoped for" (
Heb. 11:1).
A close analysis shows that faith is the foundation of all that
man does.
Jesus spoke of a
new condition for the upliftment of the
race. He called it the "
kingdom of the heavens." He said it must be built upon the foundation typified by
Peter (rock), who represents faith. This is proof that faith is closely related to the enduring, firm. unyielding forms of
substance. The
development of the faith
faculty is a key to
spiritual realization. "According to your faith be it done unto you" (
Matt. 9:29).
Faith in
God is the
substance of
existence. To have faith in
God is to have the faith of
God. We must have faith in
God as our
Father and
source of all the
good we
desire.
Faith is more than mere belief. It is the very
substance of that which is believed. It works by
love. Thoughts of
condemnation, enmity, and
resistance must be released and
divine love declared; then faith will
work unhindered.
Faith working in
spiritual substance accomplishes all
things. This is the faith that co-operates with
creative law. When faith is exercised deep in
spiritual consciousness, it finds its abode; and under
divine law, without variation or disappointment, it brings results that are seemingly miraculous.
faith, blind--An instinctive trust in a
power higher than ourselves. Because
blind faith does not understand the principles of
Being, it is liable to discouragement and disappointment.
faith, center of--The pineal gland, located in the
middle of the brain, is the center of faith in the
body of
man.
Concentration of
thought on this center opens the
mind of
man to
spiritual faith
