To me it's seemed like this of late:

Faith is "heart" functionality, not head.

"Heart" is in the vicinity of source of raw, discrimination-less attention.

"Head" is concepts/words, i.e. modeling.

Mistaking modeling (head stuff) for reality (heart stuff) is a huge, but common mistake.

Let the words/modeling go, which leadeth unto the "still, quiet place" (aka "heart" aka "raw attention"), where it all suddenly become a-conceptually (i.e. without being drowned/noised out by conceptuality/modeling) obvious.

At the risk of sounding ridiculous for using words :-) , the following gets me there almost every time:

"abide in awareness

with no illusion of person

you will be instantly free and at peace"

where I take "person" to mean "personal I-thought", i.e. "me", i.e. the conceptual model of a me, i.e. the head of the grand nesting of conceptuality eventually branching out to seemingly be The World.....

The "abide" part feels as though attention redirected from ex-perience to inwardly, i.e. upon/toward itself, raw attention sinking back toward its source, and poof... (i.e. words can't go there for being modeling, re-presentation (aka "again-presentation")).

Something like that. ;-)

(IMPORTANT NOTE: Should the above seem laughable gibberish to you, don't forget the "to you" part. I don't expect those who've not ingested "spiritual"-related conceptuality in ways/quantities/combinations different than I to wind up with the same mental/modeling "meaning" consistency, i.e. for your modeling to wind up objectively identical to mine.)
