We coexist in two worlds, the objective or "real" one, and the unseen "invisible" one that our heart speaks to, and which is felt to exist, even though there is no proof of it. Faith is essential to putting ourselves in touch with the spiritual unseen realm. To an extent, whether it really exists or not is irrelevant. Our need for meaning, and reconciling mortality with the instinct for survival impel the leap of faith. That said, a balance must be struck between the objective and subjective...we need to always keep in mind that having to believe something to be true because our faith takes us there doesn't make it so.
