Calm expectancy

Faith as a Mental State (Not Belief)

Hill defined faith as a state of mind induced by autosuggestion. It’s not theology in his system. It’s confidence + expectation + emotional certainty—an internal setting that reduces noise and makes effort sustainable.

Core idea

Faith is a low-noise emotional configuration. It stabilizes attention, expands time horizon, and prevents fear from hijacking decisions.

What faith changes (functionally)

  • Less catastrophizing, more coherence.
  • More patience and persistence.
  • More willingness to experiment without panic.
  • Less “drift” under pressure.

How to induce faith (Hill-compatible)

Hill’s answer is simple: autosuggestion in a receptive state, repeated until it becomes emotional certainty. The key is that the certainty stays calm.

  1. Choose one direction statement.
  2. Repeat it daily with gentle emotion.
  3. Pair it with rhythm (walking or steady music).
  4. Anchor it in action (one next step today).
