We all believe. “Israel are believers, the sons of believers.” Some of us are consciously aware of our innate beliefs; others of us are not because life experiences and negative indoctrination have covered over our essential selves. At times, the very fact of speaking about our beliefs makes our inner beliefs manifest.

The voice arouses intention, which is, incidentally, one of the reasons why prayers need to be verbalized. It is through verbalization that our inner beliefs are revealed and discovered. The more we speak about a yearning (for example), the more augmented and real the yearning becomes. In fact, speaking of it will eventually bring us to the realization of that yearning.
