Article 9 - Belief
Belief is not the same meaning as Faith, nor Trust. Belief is a fictional term originally equivalent in meaning “Trust in God” whereas Faith in its original fictional sense means “duty of fulfilling one’s trust in God”. Belief is therefore trust in the “Divine” that something is true, whereas Faith is an obligation to believe something is true.
Belief is not the same meaning as Knosis or “true knowledge”. Belief is based on trust of a higher deity, while Knosis or true knowledge is based on trust borne from Proof, Reason or Logic. In order to strengthen certain fictional models of Reality based on Faith, the definition of Knosis has been abrograted and the definition of Belief deliberately misconstrued.
As these canons of Divine Law, Natural Law and Positive Law incorporate the proof and existence of the Divine Creator in All as well as perfect Knosis, it may be correctly concluded that these canons represent “perfect belief”.
