Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.
-R. Buckminster Fuller

i don't really get this,but i want to think about it. buckminster fuller really inspires me.

yeah...I heard something similar. Trying to remember where..some movie or something. Belief being that what we know is what we are taught by others, books, etc. Faith being just the simplicity of knowing without the semantics being challenged because there are none.

Personally I like both. Im kind of a sciencey newagey gal.

i like that description-sciencey newagey.

i used to be more into new age stuff. some of it turned me off,but still there's a lot to offer there. i like to see where science and spirituality meet,and thanks to the routes physics is taking these days,it's not as weird as people once thought.

i also am trying to see where 'creating your own reality' and 'going with the flow' meet,and i think the bridge might be singularity aka nonduality. well,i have a lot of fun with theories. i'd like to find practical everyday application for them though.

I wish you had an IM account so we could talk more interactively.

I liked you the Buckminster Fuller quote... I think I'm trying to find the distinction between belief and faith in the sense just described.
