Doubt is not the opposite of faith it is one element of fait

Summary

This quote suggests that doubt should not be viewed as contradictory to faith, but rather as an inherent component of faith itself. It implies that experiencing doubt is not a sign of lacking faith, but an integral aspect of the faith journey. Doubt can serve as a catalyst for deeper reflection and growth, allowing individuals to question and explore their beliefs, ultimately strengthening their faith. It suggests a nuanced perspective that recognizes doubt as an essential part of the broader tapestry of faith rather than a contrasting force.

Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you wish, but drag her down to your level after that -- the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart.

Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.
