Again, we are talking two different meanings of the word faith, here.
Bottom line: one cannot really KNOW something until after-the-fact -
i.e., post-experience. Prior to the experience, we might believe and
hope and dream - and maybe that energy is part of the creative process, I
certainly think it is! - but faith is still just faith at the end of
the day.
If you have complete trust & confidence in something, that's certainly a step toward action - but it is hardly "knowledge" Knowing, can and very often does happen before the fact as seeing ahead or precognition. Many times we, as warriors, seers or persons of knowledge have known something well before it has happened.
Also, I didn't say that faith was knowledge so let's not confuse things. Knowing and knoweldge are two separate birds.
Most people have "faith" that the airliner will get them from New York
to Los Angeles... but airliners nonetheless crash despite their faith
and certainty.
Maybe 'most people" depend on hoping wishing and dreaming, for a
warrior, it's much more simple. He either knows, or he does not.
Added:
Every energy is part of the creative process, each thought, mood and even negative action either propels or hinders our creative process. The more you say "it can't be done" the more it can not be.
