You as a person, an individual, an entity with IDENTITY only truly exist if your rational, active, analytical mind imposes itself.
You can get ten different chefs cooking with the same recipe and each will impose their own identifying touch.
You can get ten different classical pianists to play the same Chopin etude and each will impose their own interpretative cachet.
Why does this happen and how?
What is uniquely human is deconstruction followed by reconstruction. We take things IN, process , analyze, filter, test, connect the dots with what we already know and reassemble the pieces. As things pass through our consciousness we COMBINE with what we come in contact with in an additive or subtactive way.
What does all of this have to do with FAITH???
Just this: FAITH is ceasing to exist as a unique, thinking, rational, analytical, deconstructive/reconstuctive interpretive individual.
Instead, you simply accept what is given without engaging the uniquely interpretive part of yourself that is YOU.
Why? You aren't part of the process. You are just a pipe allowing a "given" to pass through.
Faith says "So be it." And the mind sits like a doorstop in neutral.
The "YOU" in You have Faith simply doesn't matter.
Anybody who can shut down the uniquely human identity that makes them who they are has become the perfect Believer.
