Intuition is the open end, within one's own being, of the invisible channel ever connecting each individual with God. Faith is, as it were, a ray of light shot out from the central sun --- God --- one end of which ray comes into your being and mine through the open door of intuition. With our consciousness, we perceive the ray of light, and though intellect cannot grasp it or give the why or wherefore thereof, yet we instinctively feel that the other end of the ray opens out into all there is of God (Good). This is "blind faith." It is based on Truth,
