Faith does not involve merely trusting in an epiphany that has occurred to someone else. Rather, it consists in trusting OUR OWN experience of the Divine. Faith leaps past the confusion of any given moment and moves toward the re-presenting of an insight we've received at some point through personal revelation. When the elation of the insight disappears - as it inevitably will - then faith is needed to wholeheartedly EMBODY the insight in our lives and not simply relying on feeling it.
