I am speaking about faith and surrender tomorrow evening? I would imagine I will get questions about how to find faith. Any suggestions? I can certainly talk about how I have found faith, and how you are helping me with surrender --it is amazing to me how much I have changed in that regard. The question is in a more general sense how someone finds faith when they don’t have any.
Faith comes from persistent effort and detachment. This naturally results in self confidence as the teachings unfold the living presence of the Truth. The Presence is the form of faith. It is faith without knowledge. Like self confidence it is naturally arising not coming from any technique. You either have it or not. Faith can be developed however by finding teachings or teacher who you feel faith in and by following their advice benefits arise. These benefits give one a sense of faith that more benefits are available with persistence and detachment. It is an upward spiritual spiral. Blessings.
