What is Faith?

Excerpt from the Paths To Power:

Faith is created from knowledge that comes from experience. If any experience has been passed through by someone at any period of the world’s history, it follows that a like experience may have been passed through ten thousand times by others before, and will be repeated again and again forever. We have obeyed the law, sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously; and, by obeying the law, we have had some experiences of our own. That’s why we have faith. Because we know – know from experience.

To reach what we want, we climb the steps placed one upon the other and called conditions. To reach a height in a building, we must pass upward by successive stages. We cannot reach the third floor of a building without having passed the second. To attain an ideal, we construct a building; the steps or floors leading to the longed for treasure are mental conditions that must be passed to reach it. The foundation is faith.

You could not have the ideal if its attainment were not possible. That thought I want first to fix in your mind; that done, you have built about you the first condition essential. It ought to be simple to believe your heart’s desire will come to you.

Let us see. You cannot believe it will not come to you. Sit down silently and ask this question mentally. Doubts you may have, but you cannot believe your good will not come to you. Having reached this point, without a thought of ways and means to the end, sit one half- hour each day in the silence, holding some thoughts you may silently express in language assertive of the desire or longing sought. Within a few weeks, possibly within a few days, you will find faith expanding and filling your being. Then faith will be triumphant, for you will have blended cause with effect.

Through faith, correct atmosphere is established to connect one (the effect) with vibrations from the Infinite impersonal cause, then Love can send its supply, be it what it may, because the way is open.

In absolute faith you hold up the bright pictures of noble desire and resolve; that is your work. Spirit, one with your divine selfhood, will illuminate and give visible form and expression to them (if you hold them firm and true) for that is Spirit’s work.
