Most often, faith is seen as being very strong belief, so strong that it seems unshakable. Be clear that belief is belief, and it cannot replace knowing. Faith is not belief, however; rather it is reliance upon something other than belief...and that is the substance or reality revealed by love-light. Faith both is the substance of source and reliance upon source rather than belief. Mankind typically believes that their life depends upon air, food and water; which, in turn, are believed to nourish the blood. This, in turn, is believed to nourish the body. It is then believed that all this complexity is our life and that upon which our survival depends. This is very deeply ingrained into the psyche of each individual on earth. The end result of this belief is that, if the supply of air, food or water disappears or our blood or body are damaged or caused to deteriorate, we will wane and die. So, the "belief" of mankind is that the culmination of life is to die, and sometimes quite painfully. The true report, seen in the clear light of love, is that this flow of love-light through our attention center creates and causes our life to be and sustains it continually. To rely upon what is real instead of upon a concept of what is believed to be real, is faith...and that can only come about by paying attention to source and coming to understand what is real in the first place. In short, faith is the substance of source and the reliance upon that substance. To put it more simply, faith IS love. When one finds their own will/intention to be continually in perfect accord with the perfect will/intention of faith, this is wisdom, the point at which truth fades as the light of the knowledge of peace fills our yielded vision.

The misuse of will/intention (i.e.-freedom of choice) to "decide" against or deny the reality of what is revealed as so, is pseudo-judgment. The multitude of logically deduced and decided complex thought structures becomes emotionally locked into place as beliefs; all of which are predicated upon the fear of not surviving. These are what actually blocks our otherwise clear vision of the reality of peace that love suggests.

The belief that blood is the basis of our life is the opposite of having faith in the substance that faith is (love-light as life). The "shedding of blood" as our reliance and replacing that erroneous belief with faith in the Spirit of Love is the only means of salvation whereby one may be cleansed of the world where appearances tend to deny the truth of Peace expressed as Love. This may seem to be a sacrifice, but when understood as a work of Spirit rather than a reluctant work we must change and do in the flesh, it becomes clear that it is a joyful returning to our birthright (the reality of our natural created state of being).
