Faith Is The Commitment Of One's Consciousness To Beliefs For Which One Has No Sensory Evidence Or Rational Proof. When Man Rejects Reason As His Standard Of Judgement, Only One Alternative Standard Remains To Him: His Feelings. A Mystic Is A Man Who Treats His Feelings As Tools Of Cognition. Faith Is The Equation Of Feelings With Knowledge
