#07 | The Bridge of Faith: Stepping Between Worlds
Embracing the power to connect the seen and unseen
Beloved friends,
Today's Echoes of Our Universe invites us to explore the profound concept of faith, not as a blind leap, but as a bridge – a deliberate pathway between the tangible and the intangible.
Whisper of Wisdom✨
"Faith is the bridge between the physical and spiritual world. You have the privilege of crossing on it at will."
―Robert A. Russell (God Works Through Faith)
In a world that often prioritizes the seen and measurable, it's easy to forget the vastness of what lies beyond our immediate perception. Yet, Russell reminds us that we possess the inherent ability to connect with the spiritual realm, to tap into a source of wisdom, guidance, and boundless possibility.
This "privilege" to cross the bridge of faith is not a passive act; it's an active choice.
It invites us to:
Acknowledge the existence of something beyond the physical
Cultivate a belief in our ability to connect with it
Take that first step, even when we can't see the other side
I believe that faith is one of the most powerful tools we have to access that joy, to align ourselves with the flow of the Universe, and to create a life filled with purpose and meaning.
Like any bridge, the bridge of faith requires us to step away from the familiar and venture into the unknown. I believe that choosing to walk with faith is choosing to live a life of expanded awareness and limitless potential.
Transformed into an Intention💡
Today, I consciously step onto the bridge of faith, connecting with the spiritual realm and embodying the beautiful power of my choice to do so.
What I Want Most for You✨
May you embrace the empowering truth that you have the privilege to cross the bridge of faith at will, connecting with the spiritual world and discovering the boundless support that awaits you on the other side.
Namaste,
💜 Lavender
Interconnectedness✨
Within the symphony of Echoes of Our Universe, we find this same truth touched upon or shared by others. Let us pause to contemplate these kindred voices, each illuminating a facet of our profound interconnectedness.
"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
―J.R.R. Tolkien
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."
―Martin Luther King Jr.
"Doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith."
―Dieter F. Uchtdorf
"To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float."
―Alan Watts
"Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that God will."
―Unknown
“Faith is not complete until it becomes experience.”
―Neville Goddard
“But without faith it is impossible to realize anything. Through faith the worlds were framed because “faith is the substance of the thing hoped for – the evidence of the thing not yet seen.”
―Neville Goddard
“‘Faith,’ he [Clarence] said, ‘is the ability to see the invisible and believe in the incredible, and that is what enables believers to receive what the masses think is impossible.’ I have fallen in love with this particular definition and have shared it with countless numbers of people since Clarence first shared it with me.”
―Bob Proctor
“Faith is the bridge between where I am and where God is taking me.”
―Dr. Tony Evans
Want to dive in deeper?
The journey of faith is a personal exploration, a dance between the seen and unseen.
Let's delve into how we can consciously cultivate and utilize this bridge of faith in our lives.
Take a moment to walk through the following Reflection Prompts.
You can journal your reflections, sit and meditate with them (and see what arises from within), do something creative (like painting or drawing), or move your body (like walking or yoga) to allow them to deepen and whisper their truth.
If one particularly speaks to you, leverage that as an indicator to dive in deeper.
Reflection Prompts
When you reflect on the concept of 'faith' as a bridge, what personal stories or experiences come to mind where you've had to step into the unknown? What inner resources did you discover within yourself during those crossings?
How does the idea of having the 'privilege' to access the spiritual world at will resonate with you emotionally and physically? Where in your body do you feel that sense of empowerment, and what does that sensation invite you to do or create?
What is one small (but courageous) step you can take today to consciously exercise your 'privilege' to connect with the unseen, and how can you integrate that practice of faith into your daily life for greater guidance and joy?
