28. Faith is active affirmation of the facts and values we all need to build our sense of self and world.
29. One of GOD’s Names, the Faithful, conveys the cosmic reality of faith as the act of all that lives.
30. Faith is creative. It guides the making of the stories that sustain us, and of the lies that delude us.
31. As the First Believer, GOD affirms by faith the authenticity, value, and beauty of His creation.
32. What we believe to be the truth is actually the truth about us, and thus a record due to be judged.
33. Our real faith is not just a set of propositions, but what we actually live for and would die for.
34. The ultimately vast gap between our ‘truth’ and the Truth will be intolerable without His Mercy.
35. An authentic, comprehensive faith in GOD precludes hatred, bigotry, or narrow views.
36. Our compulsion to believe in our own free will is an echo, and only an echo, of GOD’s Freedom.
37. The Will of GOD subsumes, without contradiction, by His Absolute Power, our individual wills.
38. There is no higher nor more ecstatic human freedom than to be as one with GOD’s Will.
39. The basis of human morality is not free will, which is ultimately illusory, but free judgement.
40. Insofar as we believe ourselves free from GOD’s Will, we will be judged according to that belief.
41. When one chooses to go astray, the Will of GOD enabling him to do so is termed ‘misguidance’.
42. The process of GOD’s misguidance and subsequent judgement is analogous to how karma works.
43. Heaven, like other absolutes, would be meaningless to us without its opposite. Thus Hell ‘exists’.
44. Hell is the abode of those who remorselessly choose the abyss or its many forms of incoherence.
45. The first step in freeing oneself from Hell is to recognize that one is there for good, and rightly so.
46. Hell exists to make us feel GOD’s Truth, acknowledge His law, and accept our responsibility.
47. These are the functions of that inner fire known as conscience. Conscience is the Fire of GOD.
48. Even in Hell, the Fire of GOD represents His Love, but in an intensified form we call His Wrath.
49. Other than for GOD and His angels, all illumination requires a touch of fire to be enlightening.
50. The heat, stress, and urgency in revelation are almost unbearable for mortals.
51. A burning urge to be always right drove Satan to rebel against GOD and make the Fire his home.
52. There are others whose souls are so hard and cold that nothing but the Fire can change them.
53. The Fire remains a punishment only for as long as its denizens refuse to accept the truth in it.
54. GOD will finally accomplish what He intended for all creatures – to reunite them in His Light.
