When I dip my focus into the sea of infinite possibilities and pluck out an idea, there are distinctly two approaches to how I connect with this thought form. One I can connect to it from a desire point of view, or from an intention perspective. One involves will the other hope. This distinction is a very important one. Hope signals separation from the idea. 'Will' firmly commits a bond/connection with the idea. Buddha often talks about human suffering and links that with desire. I am becoming convinced when I look at all the other literature on the concept of separation that it is this aspect that causes the suffering, because we cannot experience it if we do not Will it into our environment. In the Bible Jesus uses the word faith a lot. I have often heard that this word was changed because it did not suit the objective of the Church. Is it possible that the original context of the word "Faith" was in fact "Will"?
If you have the 'Will of a mustard seed, this mountain will pick itself up and throw itself into the sea" They seem interchangeable...faith and will; but there is another distinction that is very important to note. Faith denotes something external or separate that you need to have a believe in. With Will, the buck stops with you.
