Onereon Channel - Appropriate Faith

As above, so below. With the world in a state of great change, do you have a personal faith in a balanced future for the family human? Do you feel that you have a place of peace waiting for you? Are you pursuing your own spirituality and ethics in a faithful manner?

Is Having Faith Appropriate?

It is said that faith is an assured expectation of realities not yet seen. This means that there can be no such thing as blind faith. Faith requires vision. It is the ability to see past current difficulties and move towards a time when problems have been solved. Faith is a form of optimism. It allows you to see the optimal outcome regardless of current realities.

Faith is not fantasy, a hopeful wishing for security and abundance. Faith is rooted in reality. It is a vision of reality not yet seen. The farther from reality your expectations are, the less real is your faith and thus the less appropriate.

Recorded history demonstrates that the family human and the earth itself have faced many difficult times. Whether it is societies out of balance, clashes of cultures due to errant belief systems or ecological and geophysical challenges, there have been many times where danger was a common way of existence. However, there have been far more times when life on the planet is peaceful and abundant. Despite current societal challenges you exist in an extremely pleasant and prosperous time of earth’s history.

There will come shifts in the near future and for many this will appear to be a fulfillment of ancient words poorly interpreted. They have what they feel is a form of faith that great suffering will occur for those who do not share their belief. This is an inappropriate faith. It is a faith not grounded in reality, but rather based in fear and a desire to strengthen a weak system of religion.

True spirituality approaches the future with a vision based in love, joy and peace. The adherents of true spirituality are noted for their ability to be kind, patient and mild. It is not based on a vision from the past. It is rooted in a strong vision that the future can be and is being created today and by each and every individual alive.

The Source of Faith

Faith is a belief in yourself first, an acknowledgement of your own value to receive what you need. It is also an acknowledgement that you can tap into higher energies to receive what may not be easily available to you. Remember always: You are an aspect of the Source of the creative energy of the universe.

The universe does not exist to destroy itself. That is not a reality that can be observed. The universe does exist to create and diversify. The universe never stopped creating. It never takes a rest. It is a universe filled with experimentation and variety. A simple walk through a garden or forest can demonstrate that as reality. A glance at a globe showing the variety of climates or a visit to a zoo will demonstrate the very real concept of constant creation.

Do you believe in your ability to create a future for yourself? Do you believe that you not only have access to this possibility, but that it is a reality expected of you?

To be a person of faith then you must first believe in yourself. But it is larger than just a belief in yourself. Appropriate faith is a strong belief in humanity. It may be an easy thing to feel cynical about the current state of human action. Faith does not always take an easy path.

In the near future there will be events that bring humanity together in a common goal. Those that are already in a state of optimism and willing to join together with others will find themselves in leadership positions. Having faith in yourself and those around you will strengthen others’ ability to put their faith in you. In this way, you may become not just an aspect of Source energy, but a source of faith for others. Do you speak in a manner that demonstrates faith now? Do you speak of reality? We add a caution here; this is not a position of superiority. This is a position of service. Look to your current leadership and ask, “Who is serving the greater good and who is seeking or promoting divisions?”

Balanced Faith

Faith is a power, an energy. You act in faith. Where can you best place your action? Act in appropriate movements to support continued growth and knowledge of Gaia. Without Gaia you have no home, no direct source of energies. This does not mean that you need to engage in protesting against things that may appear to be harming the planet. A peaceful person is not actively seeking to go against anything. A peaceful person, one who acts from a spiritual basis, will always seek to work for growth and balance. There may be times when acting in a stopping energy is necessary, but those times are far fewer if more people begin acting in a progressive way.

Acting in faith is acting as if the optimal vision of the future is already in existence. It is the creation of a reality that benefits all of the family human. The details may shift and alter as time passes, but the principles sought will be attained.

It is said that faith without works is dead. We say again, faith is not fantasy. Do not rely solely on faith. Action coupled with faith is an appropriate and powerful use of energy. In your personal life, it is better to create for yourself than to constantly ask for assistance. If you are in need and find you must ask, first ask, “What can I do to provide for my own needs? What path is available to me to add balance to the universe rather than take energy from it?” In this way, you demonstrate that you possess the vision of abundance.

Acting in Faith

Appropriate faith is a balancing. Source supplies, but Source energy also creates. You are an aspect of Source. You create. There are times when Source adapts energies to balance other aspects of itself. How can you duplicate this natural action? How can you adapt your own energies to balance yourself? It is this self-reliant attitude that will assist you in personal growth. It is having faith in oneself that creates strong individuals, undivided ones.

To have a belief in something unseen or un-experienced by others is a private form of reality. To seek to proselytize others to your personal reality is to demonstrate a weakness in your own faith. Your belief within your self should be enough. To do otherwise is to invite division within your own heart. The action of trying to adapt others’ viewpoint to match your own is a seeking of outward confirmation. It is an attempt to prove what needs no proof. The greater the number of beings who follow a specific dogma or system, the less thought is actually going on. It is an abdication of individual responsibility for one’s own spiritual connection to Source.

There are many who speak of faith as something to possess. We tell you again that faith is an energy that you use. It cannot be kept. It can be private, but it must be acted upon. If you say you have faith and take no action, then this indicates that the strength of your belief in yourself is weak. Your confidence in your own perceptions of the future must hold great value within you or they can be of little value outside of you.

This is not a judgment, only an observation of reality. If you are unhappy with what you see currently, have faith in yourself that things can and are changing and that you have a say in the matter. Build your self-confidence by placing small tasks for yourself. Place an element of faith in your ability to do something that you have never done and watch how greater opportunities to express faith will appear.

Faith comes from your intellect, but is powered by your emotions. It is an intersection between the Realm of Spirit and the physical realms. It is where the future begins. Create an optimistic attitude within your own mind. Look for ways to see the future in an optimal way. Focus on the qualities of true spirituality; love, joy and peace, and this path to your future will grow naturally within you.
