Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you’ve never seen. It was by faith that our forebears were approved. Through faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God; everything we now see was fashioned from that which is invisible. Faith begins as hope and indeed is unseen; so many doubt that it is real. What follows is the proof that faith is a reality that can be trusted.

“Reflections From Infinite Mind”
Faith … p 75
History, it is well known, is replete with those claiming knowledge of the afterlife. We in this age are both the beneficiaries of this thought and of the human condition ever revealed to us as the centuries unfold. What we have learned, and have come to know, is that human knowledge, i.e., that limited by the five senses, is alone of this world. This despite the fact that conjecture and fantasy oftentimes lead us astray in our thinking and in our behaviour. Even so, it is in our very nature to seek and to have a deeper understanding of our purpose, one that takes us beyond and frees us of human thought. Thus do we reach out to Faith, that which anchors and ennobles us, it at once the transitional and transformative force uniting mortal with immortal to reveal in our consciousness our true, ever-present, divinely spiritual Being.
