So, faith means complete trust, confidence, or reliance. Faith comes from Middle English and Old French terms as well as the Latin fides, which means confidence and belief, or fidere, to trust. At the same time, the other people who are traveling with you on your journey of higher consciousness likely have the opposite opinion. They may feel, looking at your face brimming with joy, that you have extraordinary faith and they should be more like you. When you have faith you not only think higher consciousness might be a reality, you are so convinced you make every possible effort toward higher consciousness short of any self-destructive strain or stress.
Faith implies action with continuity.
Once you have faith you won't stop now and then, feeling everything's in vain as the more scientific or doubtful seekers tend to do through regular rest stops along the way. You will, because of your hopefully well-placed trust, have tremendous momentum. You will be able to deal with your doubts and quibbles while maintaining good speed in your quest toward greater consciousness. If faith comes more easily to you, accept this great gift and forge onward. When you realize your higher consciousness, then you will be more able to help others.
