Faith - not so blind. The faith we are looking for is faith in our Selves. Pandit Rajmani Tigunait says we are only as big as our faith. That would translate as, we are only as big as we think we are, as we trust ourselves to be. As we Know we Are.
Faith is knowingness. It is that thing we somehow trust no matter what, not because we have been told to, manipulated or scared into believing, but that thing that even though we may not have been able to prove it with evidence cards like we used in Debate Club, we knew it was true.
What rocks our faith? Doubt. What causes doubt? Hurt, pain, betrayal, disappointment. Once our heart is broken, it's harder to trust. But what were we trusting? The other person to behave like we wanted them to. So we learn to look deeper. We learn to trust our Self. We learn to listen and cultivate our Knowingness. In Knowing, we have Faith.
But is it Faith if we Know?
Yes, because what we Know, it's kinda hard to talk about. That's why we call it faith. So we dont' have to keep explaining ourselves.
