Faith's role in desire attainment

Faith is crucial in turning desires into reality. It blends with thought vibrations, transmits them to a higher power, and subconsciously creates the means to attain the desire.

Developing Faith

Faith can be cultivated through autosuggestion. Affirmations and repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, via the principle of autosuggestion, reinforce the belief that a desire will be fulfilled.

Faith vs. Other Emotions

Faith, love, and sex are powerful emotions. Faith and love are spiritual, while sex is physical. The blend of the three powerfully influences thought vibration towards subconscious realization.

Faith's connection to the subconscious

Faith, when combined with thought vibration, is processed spiritually by the subconscious mind, which translates it to achieve the desired result.
