Fragment

Why is faith experienced as one of the most mysterious, least demonstrable movements? What drives a person to believe or not to believe? Why does a human gein moven between a form of feedom and a form of truth wihin faith?

A number of insights play an important role: the autrhentic human being as he is created and the process of growth wihin life. In a spiritual search, the human bein as he is created cannot be ingnored, because personal freedom arises wher a person devolops.

This stands in contrast tot a faith in which truth and untruth cannot easily be established or charged. Faith therefore brings with it a concept that is not easily defined, as it is connected to human interpretaions that conrinually seek to clarify the truth about faitht. By acknowledging theis, it should be possible to critically refect on certain perspectives recardgin faith.

The question remains how the human being, as an authentic and still developing being, can be taken seriously in the search for faith. This creaties a tension within belief in God, because human knowledge and experience can never be left out of considerration.

Humanity cannot be condermned for how it si created, this was not a personal choice. Let the human being be free to experience spirituality. The entire question of faith can therefore, in intimacy, become a relationship in which unbelief is also permitted. In all aaspects of human existende, silence, resurrection, emptiness, and expectation are present including within faith.
