1.Should we set aside our intelligence in favor of having faith?

1. Have faith in faith and also in unity.
2. Have faith that the universe wants to help you. Accept that there are many difficult realities we humans create for ourselves, but it can always get better, even if we accidentally create a difficult reality accidentally. Have faith that all is well, and the pattern of illusions that make up your mind/body/spirit will be reformed in that image.
3. Focus your awareness on awareness itself and realize that intellect, or thought, is simply the shape of your awareness at any given point in time. When you focus on the present moment awareness, you begin to return to the shapeless and formless state that your spirit naturally exists in. Dwelling in this space naturally begins to dissolve distortion, like soaking a dirty rag in soap water, the grime begins to dissolve.
4. Intelligence is there to appreciate the creations of faith, so they aren't diametrically opposed to one another.

What is faith?

Faith is complete trust, confidence, or belief. It could also be described as a certain threshold of intelligent energy. It is associated with the indigo level of intelligent energy. There is a step beyond faith, in violet ray, and that level is *knowing*. You might call that "perfected faith". But indigo energy is powerful, and shapes reality.

The spectrum of intelligent energy ranging from red to violet, is a spectrum between complete doubt and absolute knowing.

Faith is the bridge, or shuttle, between the divine infinity and illusion of separation. It is also part and parcel of the spirit complex.
