===Quote===
“Belief is always limiting and binding; faith is expanding and releasing. Belief fixates, faith liberates. [ . . .] Beliefs may become group possessions, but faith must be personal.” ([[101:8|UB, 101:8:2]])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “The above contrasting depiction of [[Beliefs]] versus [[Faith]] presents a vast topic of [[inquiry]]. Many of you lend blind faith in hand-me-down types of belief systems. [[Jesus]] himself dealt with that predicament in his sincere endeavor to get to the bottom of the tenets of his religious education.
His inquisitive [[mind]] scrutinized the belief system imparted to him as a child, pinpointing its many glitches. Because he asserted himself as an independent thinker, he could liberate humankind from the restrictive grip of flawed and unchallenged belief systems.
“Ask, and you shall receive” is the principle he validated for himself through diligent [[practice]]. Whenever puzzled by life happenstances, he turned to his reliable Inner Informant — the [[Ta|Father’s Presence within his mind]]. After articulating questions, he placed his mind in a receptive neutral mode, contemplating any enlightening [[thoughts]] that would bubble up — seemingly out of nowhere.
It is how he sculpted his belief system — chiseling away the raw edges that offended both the [[intelligence]] of his wide-open [[heart]] and his keen mind. His unwavering faith was the natural outworking of that in-depth [[research]] project and was practical in all its applications.
Just as you tone your physical [[body]] by subjecting it to regular and challenging workouts, the same applies to your faith muscles. They get strengthened through drills that are ALWAYS [[practical]] — orchestrated for your highest [[good]].
In the end, your faith will shape your belief system — no longer the other way around. As you take one brave leap of faith after another, you are caught in its [[safety net]], harvesting dividends from your successes and [[failures]], meted out in the premium currency of [[wisdom]].”
