Does the spiritual principle of faith actually apply in a nonreligious context? I believe faith is a very widely misunderstood concept, and through the teachings of religion, it is mostly misapplied. In religion, the power of faith is removed from the individual Self, and redirected towards someone else that knows more, says more, does more, promises more, or has some authority we do not. As I explore faith, I compare it to the concept of manifesting; I believe these two principles are really the same thing. Faith is the actuation of our core beliefs that produce our reality. When we change our core beliefs, we change our reality. There is so much more available to us if we expand our minds and consciousness by exercising faith in what possibilities exist, and what may be waiting for us just around the corner.
