Description

What is the actual basis of faith? Must not it be that which is real to life? In this article, the author suggests that real (eternal) faith is not and cannot be separated from the life process itself. Author Bio: Christopher Alan Anderson (1950 - ) received the basis of his education from the University of Science and Philosophy, Swannanoa, Waynesboro, Virginia. He resides in the transcendental/romantic tradition, that vein of spiritual creativity of the philosopher and poet. His quest has been to define and express an eternal romantic reality from which a man and a woman could together stand in their difference and create a living universe of procreative love. Mr. Anderson began these writings in 1971. The first writings were published in 1985. On a personal note, when Mr. Anderson was asked to describe the writings and what he felt their message was he responded, "Spiritual procreation. Mankind has yet to distinguish the two sexes on the spiritual level. In this failure lies the root of our problems and why we cannot yet touch the eternal together. The message of man and woman balance brings each of us together in love with our eternal other half right now."

In the Bible (Hebrews 11:1) it s tates: No w fait h is the subs t anc e o f things hoped for, the eviden c e o f thing s n ot seen. There a r e two parts to this verse. T he fir s t part is faith i s the substanc e o f thing s hoped f o r . The second part is faith i s th e evidenc e o f things n ot s een. So we have faith listed as both a s ubstance and a n eviden c e . Let's take this a step f u rther and list the definitions of b oth substance and evidence. T h e se def i nitions are from Webster’s New World Dictionary.

Substance: the real or essential part or e l ement of anything; es s ence, reality, or basic matter.

Evidence: t he conditi o n of bei n g evident. Ev id ent: easy t o see or pe r ceive; clear;
obvious; plain; apparent.

We have our hands full here. The r e is so much to this simple idea o f f a ith. It is a substance-- the r e al o r essent i al p a rt o f anythi n g —of that which we hope for. And it is also that which is evi d ent- - clear; obvio u s ; plain; appa r ent —of things not seen. Let us just say that faith is the essence of that whi c h we hope for and is the obvious of things n o t seen . It seems the r e is a co n nection bet w een that which we hope for and that which is not seen, as if our grea t est hopes a re not d ire c tly or perceptually seen fi r st and foremost. Perhaps when we see the es s ence of our hopes they become obvio u s. Now, if we co u ld get to the “essen c e” of this type of faith then our hopes would be di rectly seen. What I want to do in this article is define preci s e ly this t ype of faith so that our faith will w ork (produce results). How frustr a ti n g is life when the f a ith/belief we hold doesn't seem to do an y thing. Matthew 21:22 s tates: And all things, whatsoeve r ye s ha ll as k in p r ay e r , believi n g , ye sh a ll receive.

When? I know I have prayed f or t h i ngs f o r years and y e a r s. During those years I have always had the thought—if my fa i th was truly based in the actu a l or correct substance/essen c e, i n deed there would be the manifes ta tion of t he thing hoped for yet not seen. It seems that we have to g e t to a new root that hasn't b e en defined befo r e so our faith will actually work. We somehow need to change metaph y sical cha n nels in our minds and hearts so we don't just connect t o the source/cause of things b ut are actually in full alignme n t t o the source/cause of t hings—as i
