Fear and Faith

Faith is simply the product of your attention.
Or, faith equals attention.
The measure of your faith
is the degree to which you can believe.

Believing is an act of the will, a choice.
Deciding is the essence of every act of will.
To decide is to cut off other paths,
investing no further faith/attention into other possibilities.

Fear is attention given
to worry-inspired thoughts.
Faith in the opposite direction.
Negative faith.

Faith put into fearful futures
creates footholds for malicious spirits,
literally doing your enemy's work.

This is why worrying
is worse than nothing.
Be nothing and let the spirit
show you the way out.

Be nothing by letting rational thought
run its course into silence,
then listening to the peace-inspired thoughts.

Be nothing by recognizing the ego,
remembering neither past nor future exist.

There is only now.
