Insight requires not only intellect, but faith too

Insight requires not only intellect, but faith too

The moment before the insight experience arrives is mired with anxiety, uncertainty, and the feeling of being lost. These moments require faith.

It is easy to dismiss the relevance of faith because hindsight may make it seem that every success story is predictable and linear, when it fact, beneath the sanitized version of success stories lie the messiness and the struggle. At that challenging moment, it is very easy to compare the direness of the situation with a Sisyphean situation – absurd, meaningless, futile.

Sometimes, what we need to gain some sort of insight is for our faith to save us.
