Back in December Bill had a dream in which he saw a triangle with the e-pendant in one corner, the Happy Home Stone in another and the word faith at the top. I was intrigued because at the time I felt that I was experiencing something I had started to call a Faith Point.
I looked up the meaning of faith and found "belief that is not based on proof". This was exactly where I felt. It was the run up to Christmas and although I felt that something significant had changed over the past few months I found myself looking at a set of events and circumstances that looked exactly the same as the year before. Had anything changed or was I just deluding myself?
It was the time of the solstice - the shortest day, the time of greatest darkness. I kept thinking of the expression, "The darkest hour is just before the dawn." I also got the sense that it was the point where I often lose hope and give up. Looking at it in terms of the Law of Attraction I could see that I would have an idea and start to implement it with great enthusiasm. At some point though my doubts would overwhelm my enthusiasm. I suspect that just at the very moment when my initial idea was about to be realised, my frequency would change to frustration and hey presto - my experience to one of frustration.
Over the solstice it bordered on despair. As I relayed my woes one evening to my daughter she said, “Mum, I hate to say this but I think it’s a faith point.” I agreed with her and said that I just wish I understood what was going on ..... at which point she said, “But then it wouldn’t be a faith point!” Smarty pants!!
Undeterred, I have been trying to make sense of the Faith Point. After Christmas, I read Neale Donald Walsh’s book, The Storm Before the Calm and I found the following:
“ The trick is to stay positive in a sea of negativity. The trick is to know that the process is working even when it looks as if it is not.”
Then last night I read in a great book called The Science of Getting Rich (free to download from the internet):
“Every individaul has the natural and inherent power to think what he wants to think, but it requires far more effort to do so than it does to think the thoughts which are suggested by appearances. To think according to appearances is easy; to think truth regardless of appearances is laborious and requires the expenditure of more power than any other work we are called upon to perform.
.....Every appearance in the visible world tends to produce a corresponding form in the mind which observes it, and this can only be prevented by holding the thought of the TRUTH.”
Belief not based on proof, to know that the process is working even when it looks as though it is not, to think truth regardless of appearances....that for me is the Faith Point and as 2012 progresses I am beginning to feel that we may have collectively crossed it!
