Faith. What is faith? When faith is an image in concepts of the egoic mind it defines that in which we have faith. An ego having faith in God according to a set of definitions, an idea in thought that I believe in. Isn’t that a strong way to keep me stuck in separation, worshiping God at a distance, never allowing for full communion with God. Not opening myself beyond those definitions, effectively limiting my openness to God. Turning away from God in all aspects except those that fit my definition. A faith that has no form, pure emptiness. Turning toward God without any idea, no concept whatsoever, just pure openness. Then, as I hold on to nothing, the father and the son can be one.
As Laozi writes in Tao Te Ching: “The Tao that can be spoken is not the true Tao.“
What ideas do I hold on to?
