Teacher Uteah: “[[Faith]] is the greatest attribute a [[human personality]] can realize. It is the [[actualization]] of true [[peace]] in knowing you are more than a mere [[animal]], but a [[partner]] with [[divinity]] itself. Faith is the [[unification]] of human [[experience]] with divine [[expression]]. Faith naturally results from the ‘allowing’ of the [[human mind]] to express [[confidence]] in the divine [[assurance]] of [[personality survival]]. Faith is the [[bridge]] that provides the avenue of approach with the[[Ta| Indwelling Presence of Spirit]] in human experience. For without faith, the actualization of [[Spirit]] in human experience is blocked from [[attaining]] [[manifestation]]. Faith is the indicator that Spirit abides within you and is guiding and [[leading]] you to higher levels of personality realization. How do all these definitions of faith help you?
“If you were to take a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_poll poll] and ask a group of people, ‘What does faith mean to you?’, many would relate it to religious [[beliefs]] and philosophic [[understandings]] about the [[human condition]] and the challenges of living in a world of [[good and evil]] — a way to find a spiritual [[antidote]] to problems of human [[suffering]]. There are many [[definitions]] we could pull from these understandings of faith, but within the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicon lexicon] of all these limited expressions of human [[language]] about what faith really is, I would like to offer you another way to [[think]] about it. Rather than barrage you with more and more definitions, I would like to move beyond a wordy collection of [[ideas]] and create a ‘[[mechanism]]’ in your [[mind]] that is like an [[atmosphere]] that always exists around you — that surrounds you and nourishes you just like the oxygen you [[breathe]] in for sustenance itself. Let faith live above all your thoughts — let it be there always as a backdrop to your living experience.
“When you think about what other things in your reality [[surround]] you [[invisibly]], you might think about the [[omnipresence]] of the [[Creator]] as being ‘everywhere’ and this would be true. Take that thought now and apply it to faith. Make them one in the same. Always being aware of the surrounding [[presence]] of [[the Father|the Creator Father]] will [[become]] the faith that brings the [[reality]] of His [[mystery]] alive to you in ways you can understand in your reality. In any situation in life where you are unsure of the [[path]] forward, this surrounding faith in the grace of Father’s [[guidance]] is there to assure you that ‘there is a way’ and to find [[peace]] in knowing that you are guided when you connect with that surrounding faith.
“Understanding faith this way brings a whole new [[perspective]] to your personal [[relationship]] with [[Spirit]]. Rather than looking for faith in times of [[uncertainty]] or [[tribulation]], you live in the immersive continuance of faith and hold all [[intentions]], [[thoughts]], and [[actions]] to light in the surrounding [[essence]] of Father’s omnipresence. Faith then becomes this inexpressible constant knowing that the incomprehensible mystery of the Creator’s Will is being [[expressed]] by you in ways that you may only [[experience]] — not necessarily understand intellectually in the present [[moment]] or in any sense of [[totality]]. Life is a faith [[journey]] where you live and move and have your [[being]]. Faith that you will have a tomorrow is the most rudimentary [[exercise]] in faith you all share and many take that for granted.
===Closing===
“Moving beyond rudimentary faith in life itself is reaching out with [[hope]] in [[discovering]] the great mysteries of life. As you take one [[step]] forward in faith you step out with the guidance of faith in the surrounding omnipresence of the Creator Father. Verification of your faith is always provided when you look back on the path of your [[choices]] that were taken in faith. There you will see the [[fingerprints]] of divine guidance and [[providence]] — that lead to greater and greater [[trust]] in Father’s [[Grace]] and watch [[care]]. Living in ‘Immersive Faith’ is the most powerful way to express the mystery of [[the Almighty]] through the experience of [[Truth, Beauty, and Goodness]]. Immersive Faith is a constant [[cooperative]] in [[unity]] with Spirit. Dive in, my dear students, and immerse yourself in the mystery!
