FAITH
Return to Childhood
Why not have
- Anger, as it destroys all wisdom;
- Ego, as it destroys regard;
- Stress, as it consumes your life;
- Bribery, as it destroys all justice;
- Greed, as it destroys all honesty; and
- Fear, as it destroys a person.
Deep stillness
Ease arises when the soul enters a deep state of silence. My capacity for tolerance will increase the longer I remain silent. The spirit elevates itself in moments of profound silence. God can reveal himself to the soul in complete silence.
The Work of Art and the Spiritual Sculptor
A sculptor shapes materials, which can be either soft or hard, like clay or stone, to create a sculpture, a three-dimensional piece of art. God, often known as the Supreme Being, is frequently referred to as the spiritual sculptor. With that awareness, I entrust him with my safety, placing myself in his capable hands like a rough living block of wood, stone, or simple clay. In this consciousness, there are three different kinds of faith:
- The faith in the Sculptor,
- My faith in myself and
- The faith in time
I can put myself in the Sculptor’s hands because of my first faith, which is my trust in his vision of his finished work. Knowing that he sees the world as perfect, I feel inclined to return to how I was before. Additionally, when I stand in front of God, a flawless spiritual being, his love and the wisdom he imparts to me cause me to recognize that I am a spiritual being like him. This knowledge, therefore, serves as a reminder of my inherent goodness and the spiritual purity and beauty concealed inside me, aiding in the development of my second faith—faith in myself.
Knowing that the strokes I take will remove my inadequacies and restore my truth and beauty allows me to have faith in the Sculptor. I may not initially fully understand who I am or have complete faith in myself, but God, the Sculptor, understands me and has complete faith in me; all the Sculptor asks of me is that I be still and patient.
Being patient implies having the third faith—the faith in time—while remaining still means having complete faith in both myself and him. His wisdom and strength enable me to remain calm and patient—strong in all three of my religions—while he continues to work on me.
In order to become flawless, I must not waver in any of my beliefs; hence, I must not move or lose patience.
There is a huge contrast between how God sees me and how I am right now. I only have to give my mind over to the Spiritual Sculptor and keep myself in his care while holding the image that God has of me.
When I do so, my thoughts become spiritually concentrated on him, which causes me to absorb his spiritual energy, which reshapes and transforms me. Gradually, the highest and most beautiful parts of me start to show.
