Personally, I don't resonate with either faith or belief. Beliefs are solidified mind constructs, and as such, block evolution of consciousness because no new information that conflicts with those beliefs will be absorbed or considered.
I think a problem with considering faith, aside from religions hijacking the word and perverting it, is the "all is well" addition. If you accept what is, rather than distort the acceptance by adding a condition (all is well), then it makes more sense to me.
There is an underlying connection to all, for lack of a better description, that one may feel. This connection is not, for me, a comprehension of everything being "well," or that everything will be for my own good, or that suffering will make sense and seem like a good thing at some point, or that sometime I will be with "the Creator," or I will end up in bliss somewhere out of the difficulties of 3D. All of these are conditions.
The connection rather, for me, is an acceptance of it all as it is out of the construct of time. There is a richness to existence that one can grasp at certain moments which blossoms into a feeling of great appreciation and humility. This acceptance is not based on some higher entity setting things in motion, or even myself as a higher being setting this life in motion, because I think everything is evolving all the time, simultaneously, like a big soup.
Accepting existence as it is, without putting the condition on it that all is well, allows one to flow with existence whatever it is. As Ra said, at some point, existence is "mystery clad" beyond a certain point. As everything evolves and changes, if one is accepting of the nature of the universe, one may work with it unimpeded by the underlying matrix of this existence.
I think the phrase "all is well" has been hijacked in a similar manner as "faith." It implies that we shouldn't make judgments/discernments on conditions here, because it's all for our own good in the end. But I suggest that the view can be larger and less linear. Within the context of the whole, which may be thought of as Intelligent Infinity, all things just are, and in that sense, one may agree, or have faith that all things are what they are, and everything is. But to add the caveat that all is well, sounds like a human emotion or need thrown in, a condition that sounds like human judgment.
So, do I have faith and how does it work in my life? No, I don't have faith, but I do have acceptance. I also have an innate "knowing," for lack of a better word, that I as a being am limitless, but here in 3D I am limited by certain existential boundaries. According to Ra, one major boundary, namely the veil, is an experiment. I am not obligated by existence to think this experiment is okay just because ultimately all is well. This would signify that I am just a "victim" of whatever someone(thing) else decided was going to be an efficacious way to operate 3D. That goes against my grain. I can accept the nature of existence, but I do not have to agree with decisions other entities have made on my behalf. This is said with the comprehension that my current life is ephemeral, but it is still a life. And to me, all life matters, every life, and though fleeting it all still matters. Because if one thing matters, everything does.
It seems to me that entities must strike out on their own, while accepting and working with the matrix they find themselves within. The constant change and movement of manifested reality drives this evolution of consciousness.
In this context I feel faith can be a hampering mechanism to movement, as opposed to acceptance, which is a way of removing blockages to movement.
