How does one gain faith, i literally have non at all when i really sit and think about it. It's really unhealthy, and it's something i want to change.

Something I struggle with too. Idk how to do it.

Faith is just being optimistic and having hope IMO. It's about what you put your trust in, so if you're pessimistic and have trust issues it's hard to have faith.

Also, idk why I started receiving so much hate once I became own about Spirituality and Hermetic principles. Maybe people believed it to be insincere or maybe they are atheists/skeptics and focused their cynicism on me as a person instead of the ideology.

But everyone brings it up when trying to put disrespeck on my name.
Has that happened to anyone else?

I notice when you do your own thing and go against the status quo haters pop up.

Jesus
Hebrews 11:1 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Put your faith in something that is going to last. Not the things that will burn, rot, wither and melt away.

I know men; and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him.

Need to come back and breakdown the different levels to this. Most if not all have a convoluted westernized views on what is and what isn't. (shyt, Maybe on a slow day in the booth section)

*reserved for lengthy post pertaining to the kabbalah*

Among all subjects inside the Kabbalah, the convention of the sefirot appreciated the best ubiquity in it presentations. Over and over, the rundown of names of the sefirot with it human example, is rehashed as the center of this legend. The same is valid for exploration: the different originations of Sefirot have been broke down much all the more broadly that other Kabbalistic conventions of the Sefirot. The development of the particular names of the sefirot and the structure and elements of what is alluded to as the sefirotic pleroma are all vital matters for an exact comprehension of theosophical Kabbalah; their study is pressing. i'll attempt to touch on pretty much all the levels on this in up and coming posts (hopefully).

The most punctual theosophical impression of the sefirot happen correspondingly in Provencial Kabbalah, in Sefer ha-Bahir and in the obscure materials protected in R. Eleazar of Worms' Sefer Ha-Hokhmah. Prominent in their elaboration of nature of the sefirot are sure entries of the Bahir (in spite of the fact that the term itself is once in a while said) and the Commentary of sefer yetizirah of Rabbi. Issac the Blind. In spite of the fact that the names of the Sefirot there are comparable, these two writings appear to begin from changed theosophical conventions. The Bahir presents a mythically situated picture of the sefirotic pleroma, where as R. Issac the Blind gives an a great deal more mind boggling hypothesis of the development of the sefirot from the profundities of heavenly nature, selling out a profound theoretical propensity most likely impacted by Neoplatonic thought. The Geronese Kabbalists acquired both these patterns; interestingly, they say the bahiric hypotheses of the sefirot , here and there as infradivine forces and at different times as extradivine powers or structures, nearby the provencal perspectives, in which the sefirot are perpetually portrayed as constituting an infradivine structure. The focal topic describing the historical backdrop of the sefirotic ideas is the instability amongst infra and extradivine hypotheses, pretty much as the historical backdrop of theory is set apart by the philosophical speculations on the presence of thoughts inside or outside the heavenly personality.

there is the sefirot of the essence of divinty
the sefirot of of instruments or vessels
the sefirot of divine immanence
the sefirot in man/woman


i'll build more on this when i get get that downtime

Another thing.. I gave my life to God in 2014 I got baptized and was real thirsty for the word..I'm talking reading the bible everyday in church every Sunday paying tithes.. Not drinking or smoking and I honestly felt the holy spirit in me..

I had that indescribable peace that God gives and it felt better than anything I ever felt in my life.. I'm talking I had no worries at all cause I knew God got me..this was for about 6 months.. idk why but I got back to my old ways drinking, smoking weed, just backsliding. I was basically doing everything that brung me to Jesus in the first place..

I've been backsliding all the way up until April 1st of this year.. I found myself in a dark place and still kind of feel this way now.. but I stopped smoking, drinking, having sex.. I really want to have that feeling back I had when I first gave myself to God..

I really believe I backslid for a reason it was too show me that I can't do nothing without God and I'm glad it happened.. Now I'm back t reading the bible and going to church again I really want that peace and spirit in me again.. God works in mysterious ways man and he is definitely real..

Its kind of hard being patient waiting on him to give me that feeling again, and all the temptation that's around me everyday but I refuse to go back living in sin and for this world..don't none of this shyt matter and I swear it feel like nothing excites me anymore I mean nothing..sex, money, nothing.. that's how I know God is working on me..

Pray for me
