The question of the spiritually immature is, "How can I get more faith?"

These people believe that life doesn't show up as they want because they lack spiritual resources.  It's fun to perpetuate our own victimhood.

The question of the spiritually mature is, "How can I use my faith more effectively?"

These people understand that life doesn't show up as they want because they have failed to utilize spiritual resources effectively.

You see, your power of faith is intact.  Your power to expect - mindlessly and mindfully, unconsciously and consciously, without intention and with great intention - is fully functioning in your life.

So while it's unfounded to question the quantity of your faith, it is well founded to question its application in your life.

A great teacher once said that everyone is successful.  It's just that some people are successful at creating poverty while others are successful at creating freedom.  Some people are successful at creating illness while others are successful at creating health.

And this is the way of faith.

You have all the faith you need.  Your task is simply one of directing this faith or directing this expectation - mindfully, consciously, with great intention - to the right ends for your life.
