Faith is [[contagious]], my [[friends]]. Don't ever hide the [[light]] that shines from within. Some may see you as [[weird]]. Some may see you as inconsistent. Some may see you as a [[charlatan]]. Be not [[worried]] about how others see you. Be concerned about [[doing the Father's will]] and let [[the Father]] take care of His children.

Q: I guess I look at [[faith]] as being a bond or link between my Father and myself, like an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbilical_cord umbilical cord] between a [[mother]] and her [[baby]]. It's nourishing, it gives me [[strength]] that brings me such [[joy]], such love that [[touches]] me so that it touches my very [[soul]]. I know without it, I couldn't be. We talk about [[trials]] through my lifetime ..you know times were like the [[darkest]] and at times you feel like  you're by yourself and then you [[realize]] that you're not, that [[God]] has never turned away from you. You may turn away, but He's always  been there with me no matter what I was doing.

A: [[Mankind]] without [[faith]] is like a ship afloat in the ocean without a rudder. There is no [[direction]]; there is no [[purpose]]. Without [[faith]], you are solely [[material]]. It will always be this way. It will never [[change]]. The greater your [[faith]], the greater the [[love]] [[flows]] through you. We only have to look at the life of [[our Master]] to see this [[illustrated]] well.

You will not see this in your life in the [[flesh]], as we have [[discussed]]. But you are the [[pioneers]]. You have much to be [[thankful]] for. You have much to look forward to. You will not only get the reports upon your departure to the [[mansion worlds]] and your life there as to the [[activities]] on [[this planet]]; but when others follow you they will [[share]] with you, as I'm sure you will seek them out, what is happening, what life is like 100 or 200 or 300 years after you have left here. I can [[assure]] you from [[personal]] [[experience]] while you may watch it on the screen, while you may [[read]] it in the [[text]],  there is nothing like being there.

Q: [[Faith]] to me is rather [[personal]]. I was [[listening]] to everyone describe how [[faith]] is for them. I came to a [[realization]] here that [[faith]] is the string I've had practically all my life. It's been the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_cord bungee cord] of life, so to speak, that has kept me from hitting ground. It's been the one thing I could cling to when things were really bad that got me through.

A: [[Fascinating]]. ([[laughter]]) I would have never [[thought]] of faith as the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_cord bungee cord] of life". (laughter) But your [[illustration]] is  [[perfect]]; for as you fall during the [[course]] of living, you find  yourself [[thinking]] "What is happening? I am not doing what I am  [[supposed]] to. I am defying the [[laws]] of [[the universe]]." Yet you do  not hit bottom. [[The Father]] is always there as your [[safety net]] as  long as you are willing to [[listen]] to Him, to [[love]] Him and to come  back to Him.

The [[parables]] that [[our Master]] [[shared]] with those on [[this planet]] and the rest of the worlds regarding this is most [[clear]], is a [[perfect]] [[illustration]] of [[our Father]]'s love for all of us. I will retain this [[illustration]] and endeavor to [[explain]] it to some of my associates.(laughter)

A: A most interesting [[word]] [[choice]], get, for I perceive that it is indeed just that for myself also. Frankly, I never considered it quite like that before and I appreciate your [[insight]]. When in your experience did you first [[perceive]] [[faith]] as a part of your [[existence]]?

Q: I don't know. I guess a long time ago when I was in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunday_school Sunday School] and heard that [[God]] was there. I thought "wow, that's neat".

A: Did you [[believe]] what you were told?

A: Your [[words]] are like [[music]]. It tells a [[story]] of [[love]], of [[comfort]] and of [[hope]], all of which are components of living [[faith]].

Q: I guess I was very fortunate because I don't [[remember]] a time that I wasn't told that [[God]] was taking care of me, so I never had any [[time]] that I [[doubted]] it. For me, [[faith]], an [[expression]] of faith is most [[intense]] when I get into a circumstance where I feel like I'm jumping out of the open door of a plane. It's similar to Marilyn's [[description]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_cord bunjee cord], except for me it's [[faith]] in jumping out of the plane and having the [[absolute]] [[trust]] the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute parachute] will open and that when I get to the ground I have the [[hope]] the landing won't be so rough that I won't be able to deal with it. So I have had times when I feel I'm about 50 miles up there, but I just  really, the [[faith]] is there. I know [[the Father]]'s taking care of me. He always has.

A: If I may, when you [[reference]] [[faith]] as jumping out of a plane, knowing or having this faith that the chute will open, re-phrase your [[thinking]] now and know that it will open. It will always open.  Take out all [[doubt]], all [[fear]], all reservation that you may have, if at all, and supplant it with the [[fact]] that there will never be a parachute unopened. Even when you that which is not [[the Father]]'s will, your chute will open. How could any [[parent]] watch the child fall to its [[death]], even when the child may disavow the [[parent]]. That does not diminish the [[love]], at least as far as [[our Father]] is concerned.

Q: There is a [[calm]] within this room. We all sense it, we all [[feel]] it. We all know that it is there. It is this calmness that you feel now that is one of your [[goals]]. If you could [[imagine]] going through life feeling calmness like this, feeling [[love]], feeling the [[harmony]] that exists between you now, I [[assure]] you life would become most enthralling, most [[exciting]]. As you get [[tastes]] of such [[experiences]], try to hold on to them. Always [[remember]] that, and when you find yourself down and out always go back to what we have talked about tonight as what is important. You will always find [[comfort]] in the [[bosom]] of [[the Father]]. Rest [[assured]] my [[friends]], all of your [[universe]] [[brothers and sisters]] do this.

Q: Welmek, can I add a comment please? Several of us talked about how [[faith]] is the [[safety net]] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bungee_cord bungee cord] or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute parachute] when you fall. I don't think I've heard about how [[faith]] is also that [[support]] when you succeed, that extra ingredient that helps you succeed.  ([[words]] lost)

A: [[Faith]] is all-[[encompassing]]. It is our goal as your [[teachers]] to help you [[realize]] what faith is, so that you may more completely [[manifest]] it in your daily living. The more you do this, the more you will enhance [[communication]] with the [[Thought Adjuster|spirit fragment]] that resides within you now. The sooner this [[communication]] begins on a [[conscious]] level, the sooner you will actualize the living [[truth]] that you now seek.
