EP 65 How Faith Creates Miracles

Is it possible to keep our faith in spite of all the dark moments we experience?  What is faith?  What can we base it on an how can we use it to have a beautiful life?

We start off by listening to a part of the tango “Tormenta” (Storm, in English), arranged by Carlos di Sarli featuring Mario Pomar, as a poetic expression for the lack of faith in life.

"...Yo siento que mi fe se tambalea,
que la gente mala, vive
¡Dios! mejor que yo…"

In English:
"...I feel that my faith falters,
that bad people live,
God! better than me..."

We note that, as we spoke in the previous episode, the systems of our world are set up in a way that favours people who are not ethical actors.

However, we also note that we are actually not set up in that way.  We actually prefer love over what we call negative emotions.   In wishing to live in a way that enables these expansive emotions we actually use faith.

Such a way is similar to what we discussed in episode 47, where we do not focus on the details and the reductionistic step-by-step process in the beginning.  Instead we need to be able to open up to a wider field of possibilities, potentialities.

The basis of faith is uncertainty and our knowledge of how profoundly limited we are in our minds.

We mention Michael A. Singer and his book "The Surrender Experiment", as an example of a person who manages to let go of his attachments to the details and roles and is thus able to live a life filled with miracles.
