Faith in Love
• Faith in love is a process that is also based on hearing about the divine purpose of our lives and make it happen.
Love is the ultimate goal of our existence and the main objective in OIDA Therapy. The purpose of all our methods is the development of compassion, appreciation, tolerance, gratitude and so on.
When life is oriented towards healthy faith, it help us to be better servants of humanity, as an expression of encounter with the real source of love.
• All we need is love and only with love we can solve problems of humanity
• Faith in love, gives the highest value in our life.
Conscience and Faith
• The state of our consciousness is directly related to the state of our faith.
• The consciousness manifests in four dimensions that show our progress toward healing: the dimension of sensory, mental, intellectual and transcendental consciousness.
• The human psyche always needs 'something' in which to place its faith or trust, but when that 'something' does not respond to the spiritual realm, people look for it in the field of material life.
Deceived faith
Female representation
of Faith
It arises when experiencing the pain and disappointment of having wrongly placed our faith in someone untrustworthy. This experience encourages us to look for someone we can really trust.
To restore faith, OIDA Therapy suggest we associate with people who are purely dedicated to the realization of truth, immersed in real faith, healing, positive and transcendental faith.
But having our faith disappointed can really be helpful to us in order to find the true faith, and despite repeated disappointments we should keep looking for a faith to inspire us until the last moment of our lives.
Healing faith
• Faith is often personified in a form of female godess, who cares about the welfare of each and everyone of the living beings, pictured as a loving mother loving all its children, always trying to guide them in their progress.
• This divinity is also characterized by the respects she has for our free will and the freedom she gives us to take responsibility for our own actions by keeping a safe distance from our choices.
• The treasure that the loving school of faith really give us is to teach us a practical way to find our happiness and that of the others.
Happiness, seen
as the state of realization
of one's faith
It is the perennial faith that increases our awareness, and connects us with the truth, giving us strength, positivity and solidity. It is the faith that leads us to the Healing Circle, through the pure, grateful and compassionate intentions.
This faith motivates us to carry out the activities recommended in OIDA Therapy and gradually guide us to the deeper understanding of our personal fulfillment. It is a path of progress that invites us to eliminate unhealthy concepts in life, to accept healing ideals, such as: growing in the companies of healthy lifestyle, or practice habits and philosophies that promote well-being.
• The word happiness (“felicidad”) can be analysed into three parts: 'fe as faith' 'lici' and the suffix 'dad as '-ness', giving the specifica meaning and then a general significance. The prefix 'fe' means faith. The suffix 'dad' refers to having certain characteristic, that it contains; 'lici' means legal, approved, accepted.
So we can say that the 'Happiness' is the existential state of a person who has relized his faith in a appropriate way.
• You can then say that faith derives from the essential nature of the being whose function is to serve as an inner guide in the real and genuine search for personal well-being as well as the well-being of the other people.
Manipulated Faith
Healthy faith enables us to resist any situation, especially the conflicts presented as evidence which try to tear down our ideals. When faith is directed positively and optimistically toward wellness, it keeps us motivated, especially for empowering the skills and virtues that lie dormant within us.
OIDA Therapy states that from the moment we choose to direct our faith towards a transcendental reality, we begin to life in the full sense of human experience where the spiritual favors the emotional and intellectual, mental / physical level of people.
Many times we have been mistaken to put our faith in people with ulterior motivations whose true intentions were unknown to us. This is a very unhealthy situation and we should take precautions.
Often we believe that people are helping us when they actually are only using us. Thus, manipulated faith moves us away from the truth. We take a wrong turn when we follow a guide who is mistaken or has bad intentions.
Partial Faith
The Faith
Types of Faith
It is when a belief does not represent something totally, not a complete conviction. Partial faith is just a notion, an idea or some information. This kind of faith leads to mistakes because of our limited understanding of the topic.
We should take it as test that opens opportunities to go inquiring more deeply about something, until we achieve full faith that by which we can learn and believe.
Distorted faith
Faith can manifest in different types and intensities, depending on the source or the way we acquire and accept it. According to this, making an analysis of our beliefs, we have the possibility knowing the nature of our faith and if we think it is necessary, we can transform it in such a way that it provide us with a greater benefit.
Results from certain shortcomings and behaviors of our conditioned nature that has developed a self-centered life style and habits as excessive sleep, consuming of psychoactive substances, stealing, lying, among other unfavorable activities that hinder our progress towards healing.
The selfish mentality and attachment to pleasing of our senses lead us inevitably into developing a distorted faith.
Faith
• Faith motivates all aspects of human beings, from the most basic needs in our life to the most transedental decisions of our existence.
• If there is no faith, we could not say “Yes“ to anything and we would be lost in doubt and uncertainty.
• Faith is present in every aspects and moments of our lives, even when we decide we have no faith. Although it may sounds paradoxical, it is in these moments where people "believe“ that they believe in nothing.
THE FENOMENON OF FAITH
• The meaning of the word faith comes from the Latin “Fides“, which refers to the set of beliefs and convictions that every human being, without exception, needs in order to live; since we all need to have some level of awareness or concept of the world to survive.
• Faith is a decision that involves the whole being and complete committed to the point of being able to change one's own lifestyle, and brings one's actions and beliefs into alignment.
While it is impossible to eliminate faith or consciousness from a human being, it is only possible to transform it.
