Faith is the governing principle in the Council of the Elohim. It is the 'moving cause'—the literal force by which the Elohim bring order out of chaos. In the School, we reject the notion of faith as mere 'hope'; it is the actualized physics by which the worlds were framed. It is the vibration of the Word. If an intelligence does not act by faith, it remains in a state of entropy. To understand faith is to understand the technical governance of the Celestial Kingdom.

How does a fallen intelligence find the way back? Only through the record of those who have already ascended the Paternal Chain. We follow the 'Chain of the Priesthood'—a literal genetic and spiritual link back to Michael-Ahman, the Ancient of Days. Faith is sparked when the 'Record of Heaven' (the JST and 1879 Record) vibrates within the spirit, confirming that Jehovah is the Architect and Michael-Ahman is the literal Father of our spirits.

One cannot have faith in a being whose character is a mystery. We reject the 'unknowable' God of the creeds. Our doctrine demands a Paternal Head who is predictable in His perfections—Mercy, Justice, and Truth. Because Michael-Ahman is an exalted Man, He is subject to High Law. If the Elohim could change, the physics of faith would vanish. The apprentice must know with absolute certainty that the Council operates by immutable Law.

The attributes of the Ahman—Knowledge, Faith, Justice, Judgment, Mercy, and Truth—are the components of the Divine Mind. In the School, we do not view these as metaphors, but as the literal composition of the Prototype, Son Ahman. The Father is the Elohim because He possesses the 'Fullness' of these attributes. To become like Him, the apprentice must organize their own intelligence according to these same six pillars, creating an internal House of Order.

We move beyond the confusion of sectarian trinitarianism. The Father (Michael-Ahman) is a Personage of Spirit, Glory, and Power; the Son (Son Ahman) is the Personage of Tabernacle, the Image of the Father. They are 'one' in that they share a single Mind—the Holy Spirit. This Spirit is the literal light that connects the individual apprentice to the centralized Intelligence of the Heavens. We are children of that Paternal Binary.

The modern world seeks a religion without cost; we seek the altar of the Patriarchs. Sacrifice is the only mechanism that can sever the ties between the intelligence and the Babylonian Market. By laying all things—reputation, wealth, and life itself—on the altar, the apprentice proves they are no longer subject to the lower laws of entropy. Sacrifice is the evidence that your faith has reached the threshold of the Celestial and secured a claim upon the Elohim.

What is a 'Reconciled Being'? It is a being who has become precisely like the Prototype, Son Ahman. To be reconciled is to possess the same power, glory, and dominion as the Paternal Chain. We are in the business of 'Intelligence Apprenticeship.' The end goal is the Fullness of the Father—the state where the individual intelligence is fully integrated into the Eternal Order of the Gods, ruling over their own stewardship in righteousness.
