Many would say that there are numerous "Faiths" in the World today.  I see it very differently.  I believe that Faith is one entity.  I do believe however that it's expressed differently by different people.  To me, Faith is a deep and abiding trust in beyond what we see, hear, feel, think and touch.  It is the belief that we are eternal.  It is the belief that we always were and that we always will be, and as such, that there are no true beginnings or endings, only transitions. 

Those of us living in this Grand and Wonderful Universe of ours right now are living in the midst of turbulent times.  Many different Religious and Spiritual Paths are coming face to face, toe to toe and weapon to weapon to try to defend their "Faith".  Each party is fighting hard to be able to say that it is they who have the truth, that it is they who are correct, that it is they who will live on because they are "chosen".

I believe that we will all live on forever and that we are all chosen.  That is my Faith.  I believe that all Paths lead to the Mountain top.  I believe that all of the things that we're all viewing right now as "differences" are temporal and minor when viewed in the larger picture.  I believe that no battle is "Spiritual", because I believe that ~Spirit~ is Love.

Here are a list of various ~Spiritual~ Philosophies and how they each express the concept of Faith.  To me, all of them are equal, and all of them are beautiful. Each one of them touches my heart and soul in a way that is unique and yet just as fulfilling.  They all enrich my ~Spirit~. 

May you find their wisdom as Joyful as I do.
