The Case for Non-Directional Faith

Be Believing

Just as we do not need to understand how to build the technology we use in order to enjoy its benefits, we do not need to know how faith works.  Nor must we trust anyone else or have faith in anything else beyond ourselves if that’s uncomfortable. But, we absolutely must develop the power of faith, as without it, we will never listen, as we will believe there is nothing to listen to, inside or out.

Belief, faith, trust—it is a powerful force that motivates observation.

The only step needed is curiosity—to accept that there is a type of music always playing within and without that can be heard when tuned into, just like any radio station, and which works in much the same way.

You don’t have to believe IN anything to begin your exploration.  In fact, it can sometimes be better if we don’t, so we don’t talk over our inner voice, or start categorizing it into our tidy belief systems before it’s even been heard.  As long as you are willing to be still and quiet, curious without judgment, and listen deeply inside yourself, you will begin to discover something new.

As most gradeschool teachers told us, you can’t learn when you’re talking.

Let silence be your teacher.

That’s all you need to believe. Trust that there is something inside you to be understood only in silence and patience.  Have faith that if you look inside, you will find everything you need.

And, if it is the Divine you most seek, inside you is exactly where you’ll connect most deeply.
