Faith
A faculty, energy, or perspective of the indigo ray which can be consciously developed and strengthened, faith might be described as the bridge to infinity, the doorway to the mystery—that which transcends the limitations of mind, body, and the illusion itself. Faith is the energy that is literally infinite in its possibilities.
Ra indicates that faith is congruent with intelligent infinity. They define faith elsewhere as “the ability to allow and accept changes through the violet ray into the gateway of intelligent energy.”
The counterpart to faith is the will. Each faculty strengthens and energizes the other as they are applied to and practiced in everyday life, especially via the meditative discipline.
  • Consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. – 80.20
  • Those who heal, teach, and serve the Creator in ways that may be viewed as both balanced and radiant are working from the indigo ray in positive service. – 39.10
The Confederation and other spiritual traditions teach that faith aligns an entity with its highest and truest orientation: the most efficient movement of destiny and desire, the deepest experience of the self as the Creator. Calling on faith enlarges the perspective, revealing to the seeker that all things experienced are a manifestation of the One Creator—that despite surface appearances, all is well, and all will be well. Indeed, it is only through faith that one experiences the presence of the One Creator and exercises one’s birthright as the Creator.
Questioner: This brings out the point of the purpose for the physical incarnation, I believe. And that is to reach a conviction through your own thought processes as to a solution to problems and understandings in a totally unbiased, or totally free, situation with no proof at all or anything that you would consider proof—proof being a very poor word in itself. Can you expand on my concept?
Ra: I am Ra. Your opinion is an eloquent one, although somewhat confused in its connections between the freedom expressed by subjective knowing and the freedom expressed by subjective acceptance. There is a significant distinction between the two.
This is not a dimension of knowing, even subjectively, due to the lack of overview of cosmic and other inpourings which affect each and every situation which produces catalyst. The subjective acceptance of that which is at the moment and the finding of love within that moment is the greater freedom.
That known as the subjective knowing without proof is, in some degree, a poor friend, for there will be anomalies no matter how much information is garnered due to the distortions which form third density. – 61.9
Questioner: I am reminded of the statement, approximately, if you had enough faith, you could say to a mountain to move and the mountain would move. I assume this is approximately what you are saying, and I am assuming that if you are fully aware of the Law of One, then you are able to do these things. Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. The vibratory distortion of sound, faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving-understanding.
You are precisely correct in your understanding of the congruency of faith and intelligent infinity; however, one is a spiritual term, the other more acceptable perhaps to the conceptual framework distortions of those who seek with measure and pen. – 3.9
Author’s Note: Faith, the Pathway to Reality
  • “All is well.” That is the tolling of the bell of faith. – Carla L. Rueckert, A Wanderer’s Handbook
Of oneness, testimony abounds. The mystics report, or rather, exude from their beings a beacon or reminder that oneness is our true estate and destiny. But whether through words or the mystery in their eyes, they will also convey that there is no outer evidence that “proves” oneness. However much information is garnered, unity with the Creator is a subjectively validated experience that is available only by walking over an invisible bridge. That bridge is constructed of the rarest and most mysterious of all materials available in our world: that which is known as faith. This faith is the bridge from the physical realm of “proving-understanding” to the infinite realm of unknowing. What does that mean?
There are many ways to gain insight into what is unfolding in your life and why it is happening. There are many hints about your incarnational patterns and lessons. But within the illusion there is no way to truly understand why everything that happens, happens; or even what, precisely, is happening.
  • The suffering, the ordeal of living, is specifically designed to grab the attention of the intellectual mind and then proceed to baffle it so thoroughly and completely that the intellectual mind gives up, and the thrust of inquiry moves to the heart. In the heart lies that beingness which gazes at this experience of third-density illusion and chooses, in faith alone, to be a part of the love; the good, if you will; of the personal, societal, planetary mind. – Q’uo, May 3, 1992
This is not to denigrate the quest for knowledge and learning in any human field; it is only to highlight that all such learning is undertaken in a veiled condition where we see and sense but the faintest fragments of reflected truth. In these glimmers and shadows, we can never know our true and total condition.
  • You may, during this incarnation begin—and we stress, begin—to know your own cards [or aspects of self]. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes. You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. – 50.7
“All the world's a stage,” says one of Shakespeare’s characters, “and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts.”
We humans play our incarnational roles alongside each other as characters upon a very dimly lit stage, each of us acting out our individual and collective stories with the greatest magnitude of identity-consuming conviction. The salient detail for the purpose of faith is that most of us are completely unaware of the curtains behind us. We have even less awareness that behind the curtains lies an incomprehensible awareness and intelligent vastness from which originates the stage, the characters, the life force, the coordination of all things, and the celestial harmony we sometimes hear in the quiet moments.
As we dance erratically within the confines of our small plot on the stage, contained by our confusing, mostly subconscious story of self, even the most curious and articulate among us spend their time analyzing the stage. We argue about its dimensions, theorizing in competing versions about how we got to be in this predicament and what it may mean, generally seeing only what can be seen, measured, or made into an object of understanding.
The limitation of the human focus locked within the physical realm is not to be deplored. Our environment was intended and designed this way. But because the base code of the stage—upon which everything else we create and “understand” is built—is an illusion of separation, most of us remain unaware of what undergirds the stage: our divine natures and the oneness of all things.
  • We are also players upon a stage. The stage changes. The acts ring down. The lights come up once again. And throughout the grand illusion, and the following, and the following, there is the undergirding majesty of the One Infinite Creator. All is well. Nothing is lost. – 104.26
Where in our collective understanding is the experience that we, as incarnate beings, are but thoughts in the mind of the Creator, and we, in our truest state, are the Creator?
In this background and upon this basis of ignorance, we study only the shadows projected onto the cave walls. We work in the darkness with only a candlelight, as Ra said. We generally see only up to the point of our cultural and collective limitations, seldom beyond. To see beyond, to pierce the veil, to experience the presence of the Creator, to transcend our conceptual prison, faith is needed.
  • The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density. – 82.29
People speak of changing or expanding their paradigm. This is an inevitable portion of growth as the upward spiraling light calls us to leave behind old containers of thought to enter broader, more nuanced worldviews. But of the many paradigms we will adopt and release in the long succession of growth, faith is the one faculty or energy that transcends all programming and limitations of view; it is ever the highest paradigm, the final frontier, the edge.
  • Faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving-understanding.
You are precisely correct in your understanding of the congruency of faith and intelligent infinity; however, one is a spiritual term, the other more acceptable perhaps to the conceptual framework…of those who seek with measure and pen. – 3.9 (See also 27.4)
You could see faith as creating and opening a conduit for intelligent infinity to enter into and modify the system, otherwise known as healing, otherwise known as feeling the presence of the One Creator, or wholeness.
  • The entity healed had been healed by its faith—that is, its ability to allow and accept changes through the violet ray into the gateway of intelligent energy. – 73.13
With faith activated, the sight lifts. You see that you are not a nationality, an ethnicity, a gender, or whatever outer (but still meaningful) social role you may play, or costume you may wear. You see that you are not European or African, not white or brown, not old or young, male or female, healthy or ill, successful or failing, advanced or slow up the ladder. You see that all things are the Creator experiencing itself. You begin to consciously experience the Law of One.
  • Consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. – 80.20
  • We encourage you to release fear as it feels safe to you to do so and to replace that quite understandable emotion with faith. Simply to live by faith is to bring an end to paradox and confusion, for to faith all things are acceptable. All experiences are those of love and the distortions of love. Faith is, shall we say, a code word suggesting a vibration that is more like the vibration of love itself. So wherever you are when you suddenly feel challenged, turn inward for the remembrance of your real and overriding nature. You are not simply a person caught between birth and death in a dance of no meaning. You are also a citizen of eternity, a child of the Creator and a dweller in light. – Q’uo, Mar 23, 1997
Among the greatest of faith’s gifts, you see/trust that however difficult the moment or the decade may be, you are on course. You are right where you need to be. Indeed, the intelligent, unified creation holds you and unfolds for you in accordance with your free will and your desires. 
  • Although faith makes no earthly sense, there is spiritual logic to it. Affirming that all is well, especially when things look the opposite to us, aligns our beings with the most smooth flow of cooperation with the destiny. – Carla L. Rueckert, A Wanderer’s Handbook             
Though faith can be combined with will in the pursuit of any object, in its highest forms faith functions not as a mechanism of mere wish fulfillment or personal gratification, but as the key to grasping that the illusion is as an intelligent teaching mechanism. From this view one sees that life offers a responsive adaptation that is constantly providing the opportunities which, if used, catalyze the return journey to the Creator in ways more creative and outrageous than we can possibly intellectually conceive.
  • Allow little seeds of faith to grow in your garden of thought. Invoke faith without knowing that it is reasonable to do so. Live as though you had perfect faith, that your destiny will come to you and all that is for you will simply be attracted to you as it is time for it to appear. Live as though it were true and notice those subjectively interesting hints and suspicions and suggestions and synchronicities that say to you, “Yes, you are on the right track.” – Q'uo, Sep 15, 1996
When all analysis suggests that things are terrible, or you are diminished, or the cross of sacrifice cannot be carried, you can leap into mid-air without outer sign of support and trust that you will be caught. Without seeming ground beneath you, you can walk in the faith and the trust that all is well. Even when the "real world" threatens what you hold most dear, even when the pain is quite real, with faith you know that you are in an illusion, a simulation, and that there is nothing which ultimately threatens the real you; it only offers catalyst for discovery of the real, unlimited you.
  • Entities may come together in the mid-air of absolute faith; not the faith that says, “I believe this and this and this,’ but the faith that trusts and believes that all is as it should be, all is truly well. This quality of faith survives war, disease, loss, limitation, death and the myriad other ills facing one in physical body form. – Q’uo, May 31, 1992
If your life seems to be a maze of confusion without exit or solution; if you feel trapped between boulders of impossible circumstance; or if you despair over the inability to answer the question "why?,” faith is the clarity, the opening, and the bridge to the eternal present moment. It is a recalibration to pre-incarnational programming and the desired path of evolution. Or more poetically, faith allows the sails to catch the winds of destiny that blow ever within reach of the self.
In this faithful trust you release the attachment to the separate self, to how you wanted the moment to manifest, and instead you are with what is with a heart that says “I accept.”
  • Aiming toward living a life in faith is nothing more than releasing fear, and allowing that which is to be, to be. – July 15, 1990 Q’uo
Consider what effect this profundity of trust can have on your perspective, your energy, and your nervous system. Worry, doubt, fear, paranoia, anxiety—all the neuroses of uncertainty and insecurity—either dissipate or are channeled constructively in the clarified energy field of simplicity and trust which sees that all is one, all is well. Faith opens the knotted circular patterns of thought to allow in the light, thus giving meaning and purpose to our suffering. Faith plugs us into the infinite resource of hope. It uplifts and restores the system to its highest destiny and maximum functioning. 
  • When one allows the wings of faith to lift one, there is much love that begins to circulate around in that spaciousness that is made by living in faith. – Q’uo, May 16, 2002
I don’t think faith replaces the self-reflection and analysis we need to perform upon ourselves. It instead casts out the shadows and misapprehensions and dead-ends of that process. All that is needed is a tiny seed. And time spent in silence to nurture that seed. And the willingness to act as if one has faith, for the mere assumption of faith invites the eventual fully blossomed reality of faith.
Though look not to me as an emblem of faith; I forget and act without faith more often than I remember this vital link to infinity. My attention becomes frequently diverted in the labyrinthine machinations of my mind complex. But when I do stop for a moment to remember, I rediscover over and over what an inexhaustible, eternal resource faith always is. However far I may seem to have strayed, it is forever there.
  • May we say that the failure of faith is a foregone conclusion. It will fail again and again. You will hold yourself accountable again and again, and must go through the pain of your own damnation. Yet always the handle of the door to faith is ready to be turned, but you as a spirit must turn it, and must go through that door into self-forgiveness and awareness of infinite redemption and newness, a resting place for all eternity. It takes very little faith to do very, very much, so you need not attempt to live entirely faithful lives, when first you get the idea to live faithfully, but rather see yourself as one whose journey is one of learning, and whose way of learning is that of making the errors correcting them. For in learning it would not be possible to always be correct, else one would not be learning, one would have nothing to learn. Thus you may gaze at yourself with mercy, for you are learning, and you are a beginner. – Hatonn, Feb 3, 1991
Reality, says Ra, is the Law of One, and in that reality all is whole, complete, and perfect. All is well. All is One. Nothing is lost. There are no mistakes. But what within the self sees that? The intellectual mind doesn’t see it. Neither do human paradigms. Only faith does. Faith is the only pathway to this understanding.
  • We ask each to know that each is perfect and whole and in total unity with all that there is. This is reality. The rest is illusion. – Q’uo, Apr 28, 1996
The following is a collection of inspirational quotes from Confederation sources about the role of faith in availing oneself of the reality of the Creator.
  • It is not easy to live a life in faith. Indeed, the more intense one’s faith becomes, the more central and important, the more it is tested in the fire of experience, for faith is not rigid, it is flexible, adaptable, accepting. It allows people their own paths.  It allows people to find a way to eternity. It allows people to be where they are without regrets for them, because of the sure knowledge that one day they will awaken to their true self, to the I AM, and they will turn to seek the way, and the truth, and the life that is theirs in eternity. – Q’uo, Aug 5, 1990
  • We can only ask each to seek in meditation the answers which have been provided for each of you by your greater self, by your very own self as you planned this incarnation and as you hid various signposts along your various possible journeys. Know that each path contains in whole all that you hope to accomplish. If one tool is removed then another will take its place. Know that all is well. No turn will cause the seeker to be lost from that which is sought, for the one Creator waits not only at the end of each path but along each portion of each path, for it is the One who seeks Itself within Itself. There is none else. – Latwii, Nov 18, 1984
  • There are times when it is very helpful by faith alone to realize the most fundamental truth of all relationships, which is love, unconditional, absolute love from one soul in its perfection to another in its perfection. All those things that seem imperfect are part of the illusion of personality and what this instrument would call ego. Beneath each difficulty that tangles two upon the soul level lies a unity, a oneness, a union, that is profoundly more the truth of the relationship than any structure of description that contains itself in words rather than in the open heart which knows that it loves, though it knows not, perhaps, how to respond to a certain situation or to a certain moment. – Q’uo, May 16, 2002
  • The essence of faith is a realization that all is well, and that that which is needed is in hand. All that you need is coming to you. All that you do not need is falling away. The processes of a loving and nurturing Creator ensure that all is well, and that all will be well. Not as the world in which each of you experiences the illusion of life might define wellness, and yet this core attitude, this point of view that states unequivocally and without proof that all is well, is as that seed that grows every time the sun shines, that sun which is the open heart. – Q’uo, Feb 9, 2003
  • Once one has the basic attitude of faith, that regardless of appearances all is well, there is a door within the heart that opens, that has been closed by fear. It will continue to wish to close, again and again and again. And this is why daily meditation and the entering of the silence is so central, even if it is but for a few moments. That connection with the silence empowers the resources of the connections between physical and energetic bodies and between the connections in the energetic body to those bodies which are involved in the guidance of the higher self that is moving to help the self within third density. – Q’uo, Mar 4, 2001
  • There are many ways to help awaken that faculty of faith, but we feel that in the mix of things needed to pursue faith paramount is a willingness to jump off into the unknown, and to believe that all is well for no reason except faith alone, for no reason except that deep feeling that there is order, that there is purpose, and that there is a rhythmic way to progress. The more jangled events and voices and tempers become, the more the intellect is locked…with the nonsensical nature of such occurrences. The spirit of Love hopes that such times of crisis will trigger within the seeker the realization that this is another crux at which faith may be invoked. – Q’uo, Mar 23, 1997
  • Keep in mind that it is faith that you are attempting to express in your life and in your being. Faith does not make sense. Faith gives one no avenue to pride. Faith seems to be the slenderest of all reeds to cling to, and yet the soul who lives by faith, the spirit who clings to faith, the one who refuses to let it go, is that spirit which shall achieve advances in polarity, and this is an achievement that redounds not to the incarnational self alone but to the eternal and infinite self. – Q’uo, Nov 21, 1991
