Belief, Acceptance and Faith

This month, I've been moved to write about three topics that I have written about before. Some of the writings might be new and some might be familiar but, hopefully, due to all of us being in different places and circumstances this time around, you will experience a new perspective.
The three topics are: Belief, Acceptance and Faith.
I've noticed that it is impossible to take the understanding of these topics from an empirical and/or rational understanding and see them from a spiritual perspective.
For instance, if I were to define Belief, Acceptance or Faith solely from empirical or rational explanation it would be completely different than that of a spiritual perspective. I will elaborate more on this in the blogs to come this month.
There is no way of trying to explain something of a spiritual nature by using just our mind, sense logic, etc.
Here is an example. When someone says to me "If there is a God, then prove to me there is a God," there is no way someone can prove to that person that there is a God because they are trying understand or see something from either some empirical knowledge or rational reasoning.
The only thing I can say to that person is "I cannot prove to you there is a God. You're right. For you, there is no God."
Things that are not made of this world cannot be understood by things that are, e.g., our mind, ego and mundane understanding.
Following are two quotes from a pretty smart guy...Albert Einstein:
"A problem can not be solved by the same level of thinking that created them."
"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
I look forward to sharing with you and hearing from you...from my heart to yours.
Namaste,
Michael
