Many in the spiritual traditions have weighed in on the subject of faith. We are already deeply immersed in the world of belief and faith based on cultural assumptions that we take for granted.  What distinctions can be made between faith and belief? We can consider faith in terms of people who are faithful, having faith in something, or as a state of being. Do we have faith in practice, teachers, God, the process, ourselves? Confusion can be seen as a gift. While it is difficult to stay in the field of ambiguity and doubt, this can be precious on the path. Unanswered questions can be a lot more valuable than answers. Once we test something and get a result, then we know it. The results of doing this may end up to something like faith. When an experience is gone, what do we have? Karl has been a spiritual practitioner for forty years. He lived in India for seven years and has a passion for considering the essential similarities of spiritual traditions.

Faith: How Necessary is It on the Spiritual Path? (Karl Krumins)

Castaneda’s stories about his experiences with his teacher, Don Juan, illustrate spiritual principles through use of specific language that we can consider in self-study: tonal and nagual (which comprise the totality of ourselves), seeing, death as an advisor, losing self-importance, stalking, stopping internal dialogue, dreaming, assemblage point, warriorship, omens, man of knowledge, etc. Karl Krumins has been a spiritual practitioner for forty years.

Following a Path with Heart—Reflections on Castaneda’s Literature (Karl Krumins)

Karl writes about himself:  I was and still am influenced by Gurdjieff and the 4th way teachings. Based on those ideas, in conjunction with my experiences, I was moved to start an intentional community  communes as they were called back then   as part of my vision that living together cooperatively was a solution to the dysfunctions of society that I could implement.  From that experiment I realized that I didn't understand people or know myself, and that I needed help. So I went on a journey which eventually brought me to the Help I needed.  That Help triggered my second STE.  It also led me to marriage, a family, becoming a carpenter and contractor, and living in a spiritual community."
