Faith or Will

[spero]

A particular passage which tenuously seperates the concept of will and faith is the below. Though it still uses "will and faith" in its opening paragraph it seperates out the will and faith portions in the latter.

42.11 Questioner: In the last session you said, “that when the self is conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of the catalyst of fasting, and the techniques of programming, it then may through concentration of the will and the faculty of faith alone cause reprogramming without the analogy of fasting, diet, or other analogous bodily complex disciplines.” What are the techniques of programming which the Higher Self uses to insure that the desired lessons are learned or attempted by the third-density self?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith, and that is the focusing of the attention. The attention span of those you call children is considered short. The spiritual attention span of most of your peoples is that of the child. Thus it is a matter of wishing to become able to collect one’s attention and hold it upon the desired programming.

This, when continued, strengthens the will. The entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that an outcome of this discipline is possible.

You could hypothesize that since the same and sole technique nurtures both will and faith this is the reason they are often stated as a pair by Ra, but as the latter portion suggests, they are still distinct concepts. Perhaps it would have been best had Ra married together these words much in the same way that honor/responsibility was.
