Faith vs Fear (Hill’s Most Misunderstood Point)
Hill defines faith as “a state of mind induced by autosuggestion.” That makes it technical, not theological. Faith is confidence without panic—low-noise expectancy. Fear is an interference pattern that collapses time horizons and distorts cognition.
The functional distinction
- Faith stabilizes emotion and attention.
- Faith allows patience and sustained coherence.
- Fear narrows perception and amplifies urgency.
- Fear drives borrowed thinking and compulsive action.
