I have faith in two things only, and work towards faith in another which is a result of the first two. I have faith/belief in Life and Love. When there is no life there isn't anything, and with no Love why bother. Life, Love and Truth in Harmony, put simply, is to live absolutely honestly, with absolutely everything, including your self, your world and if not the universe, in harmony. I work to have faith in people to be positive, evolving, intelligent and sometimes to do the right thing, as a whole. Some years I have my doubts. Fear versus Faith. While most peoples faith is in a thing or dogma, it is my personal assurance of a life long practice. Life, Love and Truth in Harmony, with mind, body and emotion in balance, generating integrity and spirit respectively. Together this cultivates soul. Love, that principle tying it all together. Love as in an honest relationship with everything. Fear, moroseness, worry, hate/madness, and giddiness to me are all negative emotions, that erode energy from people. Respect, sadness, pensiveness, anger, and joy, give energy purpose, reflection, taking stock of what is, movement and focus. This innervates the mind and the body, and cultivates coherent spirit. What matters is if it is in balance with the mind and the body. I normally don't say I believe or have faith in anything, I either know or am working to know. My distinction is that faith is not something to have, but is a practice. The world and even its circumstances may go away. The art of being and being in a relationship with the universe, is not something to take for granted and to act like it is just is. It is like any relationship it has to be worked, and in the practice the proof is in the interaction and its mutual development. It isn't the seed or the flower, it is the act of planting the seed perpetually. And for that it is about living fully, and fully engaged. I hope that makes sense. Archonstone
