Diana Wrote:These are two different concepts. What is it you have faith in? Having faith is attachment to a belief that all is well or that things will come out "right," it is not letting go. Faith is a kind of displaced control, onto some force (OIC, God, the Universe) that is in control. Faith infers an emotional charge; there is no emotional charge in detachment.
For me there is a clear distinction between belief and faith, because, in general practise, belief has come to mean a state of mind which is almost the opposite of faith. Belief, as I use the word here, is the insistence that the truth is what one would wish it to be. The believer will open his mind to the truth on one condition that it fits in with his preconceived ideas and wishes. Faith, on the other hand, is an unreserved opening of the mind to the truth, whatever it may turn out to be. Faith has no preconceptions; it is a plunge into the unknown. Belief clings, but faith lets go.
Diana Wrote:Again, two different concepts. Letting go of control, acceptance, detachment, does not mean all is well. One might accept a war of human construct killing and maiming people, animals, plant life, etc., but one does not have to think or believe it is "well." One can still dislike suffering—or let's say not align with suffering—but accept it as the way this realm operates at this point in time for whatever reasons.
Acceptance is the result of faith to me, they are intertwined. Acceptance of the dark and the light. There is no loss, only evolution. No-one will be left behind, however many cycles it takes. Let them sleep, help is available for those who call.

Each entity will receive the opportunity that each needs. This information source-beingness does not have uses in the life-experience complex of each of those among your peoples who seek. Thus the advertisement is general and not designed to indicate the searching out of any particular material, but only to suggest the noumenal aspect of the illusion.
