And for a world trapped in space and time, there is no place for all things to happen all at once. All things are instead linear, a path to be travelled. How can we tell you that it is a spiralling circle in a location? We can't tell you these things, because they don't make sense.
So we talk of walking a dusty road, of narrow paths, of being a pilgrim and being on a quest.
However, the actual experience of developing faith is forged in the air in utter unknowing and often in fear and panic because of the step that has been taken and the dramatic unknowing of that step.
So we tell him that, in fact, one must accept the total vulnerability of not knowing, of acting as if one were faithful. For it is only when one acts in this way that the processes of spiritual evolution are accelerated so that eventually one can have immediate experiences of tabernacling with the Creator. It is this immediate experience of oneness with deity that informs one's faith.
These mountaintop moments of one's experiences within the pattern of incarnation are precious gold, to be treasured in memory and to be recalled again and again, for faith does not have its place on the mountaintop.
Faith has its place in the Valley of the Shadow of Death, if we may again quote from its holy works.
Thus, one acts as if one has faith, and in so doing is faithful. For nothing can be understood or known. This is very important to realise within his illusion.
