# 16. Faith

Principle

‘According to your faith let it be to you’. This has been said before and more than once, and it really is true. But how do you start believing it? It is useless trying to persuade or convince yourself that it is true. Instead, get down to something concrete i.e. shaping your reality according to the Transurfing principles and visualising your goal slide. Put the principles into practice and you will see what happens. Outer intention will open a door onto the world in which the impossible becomes possible. When the mind is faced with fact, it will include the inconceivable into its world-view and allow a miracle to happen. When you see that Transurfing works, you won’t need to have faith. You will have knowledge instead.

Interpretation

Transurfing gives you a map of the territory and the rules of the game. It is up to you, what you decide to do with them. You are the king (or queen) of your personal world. Do not succumb to other’s influence. Believe in yourself. Don’t rely on other people’s decisions. You know better than anyone else what needs to happen and how. Even now that you have knowledge, you will not be immune from making mistakes. True success grows out of the ruins of your failures. Most prominent figures have been through a lot. It is just that these areas of their life tend to be glossed over. So if you have suffered a failure, rejoice, you are on the path to success. Sometimes you will feel as if circumstances are stacked against you and yet, how can you really know, exactly which path will lead you to achieve your goal? The guardians of ancient knowledge have revealed Transurfing not to try and make you believe in the reality of metaphysics but to inspire hope. Where there is faith, there is always room for doubt. We need hope so that we can start to take action. Begin to take action and you will see how things that previously seemed inconceivable begin to manifest into physical reality. When hope has done its work, you will gain awareness. Then you will say to yourself, “I don’t wish, I don’t believe, I don’t hope – I intend and I know.”

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whoisdsmith.gitbook.io/transurfing-in-78-days/16.-faith.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
