That sounds lovely and really powerful for you Sandra - personally I particularly resonate with 'faith is a knowing which dwells within'. When I spoke of faith above, I was referring to the kind of typical 'blind faith' of a religion. What you have sounds very different. It's so often in the interpretation of the words.

When you're living in presence, there is just, what I might describe "isness". It's like personally, I don't have any use for hope either. To me, hope is simply a non acceptance of the moment, wishing for something else than it already is. Rather than embracing the moment exactly as it is, asking if something doesn't serve my higher good, then working step-by-step to unravel what stands in the way.

And also what need is there of safety in this sense? Safety from what? From yourself? Because in presence everything is you.

But....

There is our unique experience of presence - our soul. It has a right to be, and to live and to express. And it can feel disconnected at times. And it can feel very vulnerable too. And a sense of knowing - possibly your interpretation of 'faith' - helps build a consciousness landscape, which brings things into being. And this requires authentic inner yearning (what some might describe as hope).

Really it's all in the words and how each interprets them. When you use a word then, I find it useful to ask if what you understand by the word either contracts or liberates; either disempowers as a being or empowers. In those contemplations you'll find attachment if it's there.
