Faith is antinomic to belief. Faith can't fountain up when muzzled by belief.

In a religious environment, belief is linked to a concept, some ideas, culture, dogmas. By believing you give your support to a belief-system.

Besides most of believers haven't chosen their religion. Their family background has taken on the choice for them. They were educated, conditioned to become good Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists,… They were subjected to religious indoctrination from very young and of course when they reach adulthood they swear by their religion.

But a christian "by birth" who defends bitterly his belonging to the catholic religion, would defend fervently hindu religion as well if he had been born in a hindu family.

Faith as for it, is not linked to any dogma, religion, or concept.
It is irrational as far as mind is concerned for it doesn't rest on reason.

Faith is intuitive.

It is the echo produced by the self that enlightens our consciousness.

It is the wave of truth which comes from God through christ, the self within us.

But we must first get rid of all our doubts and beliefs so that faith can fountain up.

You have to be awaiting Revelation.

With the reason you can assume God's existence, or the contrary, but you won't experience God.


Faith transcends intellect, it is intuitive intelligence.
Beliefs comes from intellect, from reason.
Faith is intuitive, belief is intellectual.
Jesus-Christ died for faith and in faith.
But He was murdered by believers.

Yes, you can die for faith, and conversely, you can kill for beliefs.

Those who really have faith know that you can't impose it.

Faith is like love and love is not a rape !

Beliefs as for them are imposed through countless forms of indoctrination.

Man needs a spiritual education so as to put an end to his cycle of lives on Earth one day, but he doesn't need any religious conditioning.

Religions may be means to succeed in liberating christ within us, but when imposed they become hindrances to the spiritual fulfillment of Man.

Only few people have chosen their religion. And this is the reason why there is so much confusion in minds.

We forget that religions are only means and not the aim.

There is no religion superior to others.

The best religion is the religion that will lead you, personally, to the divine.

No matter how considered it may be by the others.
The religions are originally dedicated to be a path for your self-fulfillment.

And when you reach your aim - your resurrection - then you don't need the religious path anymore.

Your life has become religious.
You are the essence of religions.
You are Religion.

This is why I tell you,

I am not a christian, nor a muslim, a hindu…
I am the christ, I am the self.
