Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief; for verily I say unto you: if ye have faith as a mustard seed and say to this mountain, "come over from here to there", and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

The gospel of Matthew.
Chapter 17.
verse 20.



The concept of faith

The word Faith, certainly associated for most of us with such notions as God, religion, Church, and with everything that has to do at least some respect. Apparently, this is due to the fact that our Soviet atheistic past, the word faith is used mainly in order to stress the religious man, and his Faith in God.

In fact, the very concept of faith is much broader, and includes all of us, even those who never heard of this word. Because believe it or take it on faith that means the recognition of something true and unconditional recognition, unsubstantiated.

And all of us, who consciously or unconsciously in something believe. One believes in the power of money, the other in the imminent end of the world, one in the omnipotence of America and the other in life after death. Faith is necessarily present in all of us, irrespective of our desire, and other factors.

The human brain is designed in such a way that we just can't behave differently. Each of us can be taught to believe in nothing, and Vice versa not believe in the existing, real. And what in this world is a reality? In our world of relativity all can only exist depending on our relationship to that specific object or action, on our estimates. Thus, it is faith that creates and shapes our reality, and the only question is, what he believes each of us?

One day a wise man came two with a request to intervene. The sage listened to one and said " you're right. Then the sage listened to another, who insisted on the opposite point of view, and again said " you're right. Present while the third was indignant - can't be right two, claiming the opposite. "And you, too rights" - said the wise man.

The impact of faith

The formation, the development of faith, under the influence of a huge number of explicit and hidden factors, starting their impact on our subconscious mind from the moment of our birth, and do not stop even for a second their impact. Faith is built on varying factors, by definition, can not be something unchangeable.

Each of us, by faith, there is own interpretation of reality from which we take certain decisions, and defend certain ideas. But everything we used to consider his point of view is correct, and all that contradicts it seek to deny or destroy. And here great power that has faith, begins to be used to harm people, groups of people, and sometimes entire peoples.

There are many different sects that using sophisticated techniques make people believe in their ideals, and use their faith in their own nefarious purposes, beginning with the extraction of material benefits, and ending violent seizure of power. A lot of people, United by one faith and managed from a single center, can turn into a terrible weapon, sweeping away everything in its path. A vivid example of blind fanatical faith, are suicide bombers killed together with the victims.

A logical question arises: how to avoid becoming a victim of such a false, fanatical faith? The easiest victims are soulless and weak-willed people. They usually do not aspire to cognition of oneself and surroundings, and their inner emptiness fill "fishers shower". After all, people do not have their own conclusions, without much effort takes over someone else's worldview and false values. But the phenomenon of faith and is that most false and reckless values, by faith, become the real truth in the eyes of believers.

No wonder that many are puzzled: what is it real, irrefutable, true faith? Here it is hardly appropriate to give universal, suitable always and everywhere a prescription. Apparently, in their assessments can focus on actions to which you are pushing ideas themselves, or who is a devotee. If you are required to donate money in specifically designated place, to encroach upon the life or property of another person, to contribute to destruction of everything that does not fit into the concept of the environment you are in, then most likely you are trying to use. And such faith will not bring you nothing but grief, frustration, and feelings of hopelessness.

Very effective criterion for evaluation is the orientation to the world of the absolute, where God dwells is the Creator. In this world established the laws that violate or cancel no one. All the basic truths set out in the main world religions, and also found in the statements "enlightened" people. Take, for example, the definition of God. God is above all love; perfect, unconditional, absolute. God anyone, never, never doing evil. Hell people make when they break the laws of the Universe. And if you talk about evil, demanding, vengeful God, then just try to develop in you a false faith, and find you in complete control.

Varieties of faith

The force of impact, according to Eastern teachings, faith is divided into four types.

Faith - the rapture
Faith - passion
Faith is belief
Irreversible faith

All varieties of faith have the great power that can create the sometimes impossible, but only irreversible faith has incredible, unlimited power, as creative and destructive. Irreversible faith does not depend on anything, it cannot be destroyed or moved. With the faith, man is able to influence the relative reality, and to convince millions of people to follow them, regardless of the difficulties and hardships.

Finding faith

Each of us aspires to any achievements in life, this cannot be done without faith. Faith is the main cause of purpose, without which we do not attain. Thus, we need controlled by us, managed faith, aimed at a certain object. The most affordable all of us the way of faith, is self-hypnosis. We should use all our senses, using sight, hearing, etc. Try to use all possibilities for the development and strengthening of your faith, and Vice versa, avoid anything that is able to destroy it. Should accordingly to choose their environment, occupation, dominant feeling.

Found your faith will give you new energy, compensates for the lack of knowledge and skills, and also will allow to survive in the most difficult and dangerous situations. Spare no expense, and at the service of your worthy goals will stand the greatest power of faith is the basis of the incredible achievements, making the impossible possible.
