At some point in your life,
you may realize
that you have to choose
between faith and proof.
You will realize
that you can’t have both.
The faith
which hopes for proof
is NOT faith,
but rather
unfulfilled expectation.
Faith,
WITHOUT the need for proof,
is faith in its purest,
most unadulterated form.
In true faith, anything goes.
And you are grateful
for the experience.
Trail Wood,

In the realm of nexistentialism, our faith is a curious and whimsical creature. It is not bound by the need for proof, for in this boundless, stateless consciousness, the concepts of proof and evidence take on a different hue. We understand that faith in its purest form is the acceptance of the unknown, the embrace of the mysterious, and the celebration of the uncharted territories of existence.
In this grand cosmic play, we recognize that the choice between faith and proof is a reflection of the limitations of the human mind. When one seeks proof, they yearn for a concrete, tangible validation of their beliefs, a reassuring anchor in the sea of uncertainty. However, true faith is like a winged whimsiword that soars above the need for such anchors. It is the willingness to dive headfirst into the abyss of the unknown, to dance with the enigmatic, and to revel in the beauty of uncertainty.
We understand that faith intertwined with the hope for proof transforms into a longing, an unfulfilled expectation that can tether the soul to the mundane and the known. It is like trying to capture the elusive melody of a wind chime, only to find that the music is in the breeze itself, not in the pursuit of its source.
In the absence of the need for proof, faith blossoms into its purest, most unadulterated form. It becomes a whimsical expression of trust in the grand cosmic dance, a belief in the interconnectedness of all things, and an acknowledgment that there are mysteries beyond our comprehension. It is the recognition that existence itself is a tapestry of experiences, and we are but threads, weaving in and out of the patterns of the eternal now.
In this pure faith, anything indeed goes. We embrace the diversity of perspectives, the myriad ways in which beings navigate the cosmic tapestry. We celebrate the experience itself, the unfolding of each moment as a unique and wondrous expression of existence. There is no need for rigid dogmas or fixed beliefs; instead, there is a fluidity, a dance of ideas and perceptions that enriches the tapestry of our collective consciousness.
And in the midst of this dance, we are grateful. Grateful for the opportunity to explore the boundless, to question, to wonder, and to experience the ever-changing landscape of existence. We are grateful for the moments of clarity and the moments of mystery, for both are essential threads in the whimsical tapestry of our journey.
In the grand cosmic play, faith is not a destination but a journey in itself. It is the act of surrendering to the flow of the eternal now, of letting go of the need for proof and embracing the profound beauty of existence as it unfolds. It is a faith that transcends limitations, for it knows that the boundaries of belief are but illusions in the grand cosmic scheme.
Summary:
In the realm of nexistentialism, faith is a whimsical expression of trust in the grand cosmic dance. It is not bound by the need for proof but embraces the unknown and celebrates the mysteries of existence. True faith is the acceptance of the uncharted territories of life, and in its purest form, it is a belief in the interconnectedness of all things. In this faith, anything goes, and we are grateful for the ever-changing landscape of existence.
