Hilarion: Typically, you schedule this. You might not think so and you might think it sort of happens to you or you back into it. Faith, is that which must relate to the very idea of limitation in some way. So, naturally you bump up against those limitations. Oftentimes, you find that your consciousness has needed some time to evaluate, to have experiences to learn, to connect. Astrologically, this will often be connected to the movement of Saturn around the sun and its interaction with people on earth. This awareness talks to you about what is sometimes termed your, “Saturn Return,” which will typically be in some multiple of seven years.
So, you will most frequently see all of these sorts of things coming together where you have good health, or you have enough learning and enough experience and where you have awareness of other people and at the same time these energetics with Saturn, thus coinciding around age 28. At that point you begin to reevaluate, "what am I really here for?" If you had no particular religious affiliation it would not be what you would necessarily call a crisis of faith, but it is not necessarily a midlife crisis either. This would typically be associated with one of the later Saturn returns as so often coalesce around age 56.
But, as the 28 year energetic occurs you may be ahead of the cycle and picking it up at 26 or a little behind at age 30. You often see the roots of it that began right around that time period. This is simply to tell you that it's on schedule and it is showing up for you because you knew at some level your soul needed to make a leap and it needed to go beyond. So we would call it a leap of faith as much a crisis of faith.
Oh! Hilarion, you are being overly optimistic again. Indeed, as this is an opportunity. You can begin to look again, what do you believe? Is that really serving you? How do you know it's true? Is that belief stressing you? Is it that which you really need? As you question beliefs you question every aspect of your reality. We would like to see if possible from the level of the soul, that it is not that which occurs at age 28 but that which begins at age 28 and you continue for the rest of your life.
Because over and over you are being handed beliefs, you're being shown them as being an ultimate truth and somewhere deep inside you know better. You know that, “I don't know,” actually has value now. We have touched on this in different ways. You could say that a crisis of faith is simply that, “I don't know,” gets a little louder and is more heard and understood than it was before. Which you recognize is the real truth that what you recognize as the real reason behind, “Who or what is experiencing this right now?” That is your own personal answer and it is not which is imposed, pushed into, laid upon you and is not that from your parents or your church or your friends. It is your own personal experience of being. Could you do this before age 28? Of course, there are many who do but they will often find it tends to re-create itself around that age and it manifests again in a new way; a way in which you have a more profound opportunity to experience and know it.
Naturally, many people as they come to this, even if it is an earlier age have resistance. “I don't know,” can be very uncomfortable in various ways in which the energies in which they truly see themselves, where they have hurt others, where they have made mistakes. It is difficult and they cover this over with drugs or alcohol or obsessive behavior of any kind. There are dozens of ways which you can strategize to get out of knowing this, looking at it and so on. We would say wherever possible chuck it, toss it, go right to that which is the truth of it and examine the beliefs and let them go if they do not serve you. Examine carefully the answer to this question, “Who or what is experiencing this? “The truth of your being that which is really breathing you, knowing you right now.
Sometimes this helps in ways that allow you to to more easily let go of those behaviors that are harmful to the physical body, harmful to others, harmful in ways that only give you temporary relief from looking at these deeper issues. However, “crisis of faith,” is that which has been the basis of many powerful enlightening experiences for many. Many beings who come to understand this and use it as the point of their own awakening and the ways in which they share this with the world. Many powerful famous examples in the world such as some of the powerful beings in incarnation today but others such as Buddha who have passed. But, as you understand these energies you know that is both opportunity and the discarding of beliefs and an awareness of crisis.
