THE ZEAL OF FAITH

“Faith does not shackle the creative imagination, neither does it maintain an unreasoning prejudice toward the discoveries of scientific investigation. Faith vitalizes religion and constrains the religionist heroically to live the golden rule. The zeal of faith is according to knowledge, and its strivings are the preludes to sublime peace. [UB, 101:8.4]

Thought Adjuster: “Humans are three-dimensional beings of flesh and blood, mind, and spirit. Their first post-natal assignment is to orient themselves through their sensory perceptions to establish the lay of the land and familiarize themselves with the many functions of their carnal vehicle.

Combined with intuition, the inner drive of faith propels you inward and Godward. Jesus himself had to ‘go by faith’ after taking his marching orders from his inner Pilot. He never jumped into action without getting the green light of divine approval, thus adequately investing his faith. Harnessing the power of his creative imagination, he devised clever ways to be an inspirational spiritual teacher. His colorful parables provided relatablevisualsto short-sighted human souls, thus shedding light on the art of right-living.

To believe that faith and science are incompatible is illogical. Faith fires you up, instilling you with the bravado to take the first step in the dark toward new horizons of greater understanding. As well, scientific research yields intellectual breakthroughs beneficial to planetary evolution. In the end, the inter-realm dots will be connected, and humankind will thrive as a collectivity of well-balanced and well-informed personalities. Its faith status of Agodonters (those who believe without seeing) will become a thing of the past—as it did for Jesus who became the living bridge between faith and experiential spiritual knowingness.”
