A state of understanding does not commence in us till we
think for ourselves instead of being guided by a teacher. It
is at this time that faith commences, because faith is not
our own until we have confirmed our beliefs by means
of our own thoughts and ideas. Prior to that, our faith is
not ours; it is someone else’s faith present in us, because
we have believed not in the beliefs themselves but in a
person.
—Secrets of Heaven 10225:5
