What is Faith? - Horizon of Perception Horizon of Perception Training Education Learning Development Faith, Rational Beings and the Horizon ofPerceptionRationality and Certainty As Rational Beings we have the need to base our decisions on items and concepts which are absolute and certain. Things we know Our universe is, beyond the horizons of our perceptions and in many dimensions unknowable: Spatially, sub-atomically or historically it cannot be directly perceived, only inferred or hypothecated. Things we cannot know"How can we act rationally living in andbeing made of an unknowable universe?" The Horizon of PerceptionEverything we perceive and experience either as anindividual could be said to be our 'Sphere of Experiential Knowledge'. [Knowledge Accretiondescribes a theory of how our individual and societal spheres of knowledgedevelop.], Communities or other groups also have a similar spheres.Going beyond that sphere is a larger 'Sphere of Possible ExperientialKnowledge', which contains the universe which we may possibly appreciate andexperience. Due to our physical state, location, technology and abilities. The outer boundary of this larger sphere isthe 'Horizon of Perception' Horizon of PerceptionA theoretical limit, the boundary of our possible universal experience as it stands in any given momentBeyond the Horizon of Perception lie things we either know nothing about hypothecate about believe about (explain as or with components of our faith)Current examples of which might be: "What was going on 23 billion years ago?" "Is the universe infinitely big today?" "Is there a universal being watching us?" "What will happen next Tuesday?"Note: The Horizon of perception is not fixed for us, our ability toinnovate and develop new technology allows us to continuously expand our Horizonof Perception  What is Faith?Faith is a belief system which we adopt and crucially; choose to placebeyond question even though does not connect fully into our interlockingjigsaw puzzle of experiential knowledge.Our faith is a fabricated certainty which may or may not beuniversally correct, but which we treat as such. Religious or spiritual systems,philosophies and theoretical physics can become items of faith in this unquestionablesense. For me to cease to be willing to internally question something makes ititem of faith. At a low level our faiths provide practical foundations for our everyday 'rational'decisions by introducing a personal certainty where there is no universalcertainty.In addition, for those who care to think about it, faith may serveto divert attention from or circumvent the following dichotomy:"How can we act rationally living in andbeing made of an unknowable universe?"The answer being: '"It's not unknown because thisis how it is....." followed by a description of the faith being held.Embracing the DichotomyOne way to come to terms with this dichotomy is to recognize and embrace it:"I am rational and self determining within the horizon of my perceptions. Irecognize that beyond this horizon there is uncertainty and this uncertainty does notimpact the rational choices which I make."A specific faith is entirely optional, personally I do not need to construct or embrace a faith in order to be a rationalbeing, I can simply embrace the obvious: I cannot know everything.A Course of ActionRegarding the faiths, hypotheses and belief systems of what is beyond the Horizonof Perception, it seems acceptable to form and hold any imaginable idea aspotentially true. However surprising such ideas may sound to another individual,concerned only with what is currently unknown. They can neither be proven ordisproved and so serve as great topics of conversation in the pub or on longwalks.The rational person choosing to hold on to such items of faith must Acknowledge that such ideas are purely intellectual constructions, therefore cannot (honestly) be used as a basis for rational decisions Remember that theadvancing Horizon ofPerception may grow to include the knowledge covered by the faith so you may either: Say I told you so! Hope no-one remembers what you said In the mean time, remember that the Horizon of Perception is NOT static sobeware of narrow-mindedness, for without the constant fires of creative thoughtburning at the Horizon of Perception the progress of humanity would fade into darkness. Strain against the Horizon of Perception and advance furtherinto the darkness of faith and theory. Not in the vain attempt to vanquish uncertainty, but with the noble cause of extending our Sphere of Experiential Knowledge for our children. The greater its unexplored surface becomes, the more fabulous the opportunitiesthat await them. home Copyright 1970-2003, Stuart Edward Jones home |
