Interestingly, today's L/L Research quote on facebook is about faith:
The straightest road from fear to love is faith, the ability to move beyond the tangle in the stream of energy, back to the source, and it is done not by moving to anything but only from the position of fear. The classic paralyzing Buddhist description of fear is a seeker hanging onto a rapidly decaying branch of a tree, on the side of a cliff, with a tiger above and a tiger below, and a chasm beneath. And the answer to that image is to let go of the branch, wave bye-bye to the tigers and welcome the abyss. There is, in faith, that realization that in no way, shape, or form can we know in a linear sense that all is well or that all will be well. And yet that is what we claim. That is what we believe, and on that we base our security and our confidence. - Q'uo
I think a lot about the spiritual path is about releasing the need for control. This makes more sense if you understand that your reality is the truthful expression of the Creator, of Love & Light. Then, growth can partly be understood to be about your ability to recognize the Creator within things, to recognize Love within things, from there things do not need to be controlled because they are accepted to be what they are. This kind of state of being is hard to explain in words, but it is definitely real.
The more you feel a need to control your reality, the more you are in a state of tension with it. This state of tension can act as a gravity well that attracts people and events to yourself to act as catalyst. The reason acceptance is such a big thematic upon the path of love, is that it is the sole mean through which you can become transparent with your reality to the point of being in pure harmony with it. From a human perspective and like Q'uo said, the straightest road from fear to love is faith, because such a leap cannot truly make sense to the intellectual mind. Yet, by releasing the need of the intellectual mind to process its reality in its own ways, you are able to open up to a new way to experience your reality beyond the intellectual mind.
