Bringing Heaven Down to Earth

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

« Previous

Faith is not the result of experience.

On the contrary, faith is an act that comes from within and creates experience.

Things happen because you trust they will.

Faith comes from your belief in G-d....experience is the result of that Faith in G-d.

We don't have to take faith "on faith"

Rather than theorize I shall insert a bit of scientific research.

Theoretically, the pessimist is right. Just by the odds, things are apt to turn out badly. Sure enough, they do turn out badly for the pessimist, and he feels validated in his pessimism.
BUT
a scientific survey was done over fifteen years ago to test this. It was found that, although logically the pessimist was right, reality actuality defied logic.

The optimist went ahead as if things would turn out well--and in a significant number of cases, they did well AGAINST the odds. The researchers concluded that the very attitude of expecting the better outcome was a significant factor affecting the outcome for the better. Pessimists in the very same situation had worse outcomes.

In other words, faith works to produce a better outcome.

Ain't that amazing? You don't have to take faith "on faith".

Faith has been scientifically demonstrated to WORK.

So now we have scientific backup for faith!

Wow.

Faith & Experience

...also,
Faith came from God.
Experience came from wisdom.
Wisdom came from God.

Things happen because God exist. He decide what he will do.
