Abstract

The survey investigates the significant gap between Faith and Belief, using the conceptual distinction between Human and Man, highlighting the importance of divine reminding over mere remembering. The existence of a distinct genetic code in Humans known as Post Man Human (PMH) is proposed, which allows for a closer relationship with God, in contrast to men's materialistic character. The concept of the sacrificial mind, or "HU", is introduced as a key component of divine reminder that leads to spiritual ascent. The subject then shifts to the history of religious thought, stating that whereas religious systems emphasize memory and historical renewal, Faith is a direct, uncalculated link to God, that fosters love and mercy. I discuss the idea that God's presence transcends individual religious contexts, and argue that the actual essence of divinity can be comprehended through the oneness of diverse religious experiences. It is suggested that, while religious Beliefs and rituals are embedded in specific historical and cultural settings, the Human brain is predisposed to seek a higher power. This search stems from a pre existing ability to comprehend the divine, which develops alongside Human cognitive development. Unlike Belief systems, Faith does not rely on the brain's cognitive processes of memory and judgment, but rather, provides a direct spiritual connection that overcomes these constraints. This divine reminder method is viewed as a technique to avoid the confines of time, place and cognitive limitations, resulting in a more profound and immediate spiritual experience.
