Faith (信 Xìn)¶
[Entry Gateway]
In Lifechanyuan terminology, LIFE (capitalized) refers to the ontological essence of existence — the soul/antimatter structure that persists across incarnations — while life (lowercase) refers to the experiential stage of human existence in this world.
Faith (信, Xìn) is one of the six core LIFE qualities — alongside Truth, Goodness, Beauty, Love, and Sincerity — and the spiritual foundation upon which the entire Lifechanyuan edifice rests, the bridge to the Elysium World, and one of the most important flowers in the soul garden. In Lifechanyuan, Faith is not credulity — it is the inner certainty that comes from knowing the Greatest Creator, understanding the Way, and trusting in the law of cause and effect.
Faith is Truth; Love is LIFE.
— Guide Xuefeng, New Era Human 800 Concepts, Article 142
Core Positioning¶
In the Lifechanyuan system, Faith operates on four levels: ontologically it is an attribute of the Greatest Creator; epistemologically it is the very definition of Truth ("Faith is Truth"); in cultivation it is the core inner state and the first problem every practitioner must resolve; in daily conduct it is integrity — saying what you mean and doing what you say.
