Part 22 of 46 · Chapter 22 · 6 min 47 sec
You’ve read the books on faith. You’ve heard the teachers, the gurus, the wise voices across traditions tell you to “just believe.” You’ve nodded along. You’ve even tried. And somewhere deep down, you’ve wondered why faith feels so simple to talk about and so slippery to actually live.
If something still isn’t clicking when it comes to certainty, here’s what this chapter quietly exposes: most of us have been taught faith as a feeling we wait for, or a virtue we earn. So we sit and try to feel certain. We try to believe harder. And when doubt creeps in at 2 AM, we assume we just aren’t spiritual enough yet. We aren’t disciplined enough. We aren’t ready.
It’s not you. The model itself was incomplete. Nobody told you that certainty isn’t a feeling that arrives — it’s a decision you make. And once made, it’s protected the same way you’d protect a small flame in the wind. Not with force. With awareness.
Here’s the reframe David offers in this chapter: faith and persistence form a tight circle. Each step of persistence has to be followed by a step in faith, and each act of faith makes persistence possible. You don’t get one without the other. And both begin with a single quiet decision — not a performance, not a chant, not a vision board — a decision to be certain, the same way you’re certain you can pick up a glass of water and drink from it. No drama. No effort. Just done.
This chapter is for the part of you that has been white-knuckling belief. The part that thinks doubt means you’re failing. Listen, and you’ll find a much gentler door.
What this chapter unlocks
- Why faith is a state of being, not an action: David explains that you cannot “do” faith or “speak” faith — you can only be faithful. Certainty is decided, not performed.
- The tight circle of persistence and faith: Persistence builds faith, and faith fuels persistence. Each step of one must be followed by a step of the other, or the loop breaks.
- How to handle doubt without resisting it: David teaches a mindful, detached observation — watching doubt like an uninvolved witness instead of fighting it or feeding it.
- Fear as “false evidence appearing real”: The chapter reframes fear as an illusion to be examined, not a warning to be obeyed. Especially the fear of going broke, which David calls a disease that attracts what it dreads.
- The glass-of-water standard: The level of certainty you have about being able to drink from a glass you’re holding — that’s the bar for certainty about your life, your goals, and what you’ve already received.
The 30-second test
Listen to the first 30 seconds. If you hear David name certainty as “the antidote to failure” and feel something in you go quiet — like a part of you that’s been arguing with itself finally gets permission to stop — this is your chapter. The people who need this one are the ones who have been trying to manufacture belief and exhausting themselves doing it.
Why this chapter matters in the series
We’re now deep into the inner mechanics. The earlier chapters set up the quantum and spiritual foundation — how thought becomes form, how the universe responds to information. Certainty is the signal strength. Without it, the most beautiful vision broadcasts at low volume. This is Part I of two on certainty, and it lays the ground for everything that follows on faith, action, and the practical art of building wealth from a settled inner state. The next chapter takes this further into application.

certainty the most powerful force in the antidote to failure certainty faith belief is a necessary part of creating wealth or anything else for that matter it is that which gives the universe a go ahead to do as you wish it to do you see you cannot become a state without certainty for such becoming is Unbecoming you cannot be happy if you are unsure that you are happy you also cannot create goals without certainty not only in their accuracy but also in their coming to reality for you even speaking and acting without certainty is powerless many teachers in many religions and ages have taught us to have faith to be certain this isn’t new but now
you will see why they have always taught this and see how to create and expand your faith something that has o far been elusive to many people but so far been elusive to many people but remember as you read on that faith is a lot like State being you cannot really speak faith not do Faith you can only be faithful be certain and the way to do that is to simp decide to be certain just like that and let no other contradiction come to you anyway let us proceed and this will get easier and clearer the last part of getting faith is to understand how the universe works in the chapters on quantum physics time
and cause and effect you will see how the universe works and this will give you faith for you now know exactly what happens behind the scenes once you nderstand how it all works you will understand how it all works you will believe everything is possible to the xtent that you are certain extent that you are certain to the extent that you have faith and Clarity of thought things are possible or impossible but in reality nothing is impossible believe actually be certain persistence breeds Faith you can use persistence to increase your faith and through faith you have persistence by persisting even when it looks like you should give up you can increase your faith in an
outcome and bring it about his is a conscious decision you make this is a conscious decision you make because Faith enables per persistence it is a tight Circle you cannot achieve much if you are persistent but you keep telling yourself things are not going to work out persistence is a slight step ahead of faith in that you can use it to build Faith but every step that persistence takes has to be followed by a step in faith persistence literally pays nothing is truly impossible remove all thoughts of doubt and fear never entertain them even for a moment be mindful watch watchful and aware of your thoughts by simply deciding to be so whenever you catch
yourself doubting or fearing stop those thoughts in their tracks do not let them progress do not encourage them but do not resist them instead watch them indfully detached like an uninvolved mindfully detached like an uninvolved Watcher see what they are where they come from why they come to you and how long they last by observing them in this way you will be able to get behind them get to their cause their dark Origins and bring light to them eventually eliminating them doubt and fear are the only enemies of your dreams and Visions certainty even in the face of contrary evidence be certain believe have faith if you can everything is possible for him who believes
Jesus Christ confidence certainty believe it all the way unquestionably in God’s world certainty is the only thing that’ll do This Is The Stuff of Miracles this Force moves mountains doubt confusion fear and worry partly have the roots in a person not knowing exactly what he or she wishes to be and have the opportunities and abilities that you have right now right here are enormous and incalculable in other words you cannot run out your belief is your only real imit as you believe so shall it be done limit as you believe so shall it be done unto you in the real sense it is not hat God rewards those with faith what hat God rewards those
with faith what hat God rewards those with faith what happens is that the Universe moves the universe’s building blocks around Quantum particles depending on the information it receives and the certainty of that information it is as cientific as it is cientific as it is cientific as it is piritual fear is false evidence spiritual fear is false evidence appearing real in reality there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of for yourself has it all and is indestructible yourself is designed to never lack anything for it has it all already it is also indestructible but its manifestation here on Earth comes with many Illusions and one of your purposes here is to overcome these Illusions one of
those Illusions is the illusion that abundance does not exist yet we know scientifically nowadays thanks to quantum physics and spiritually as we have been advised by teachers throughout the ages that abundance is all there is if you ever catch yourself fearing something know that it is an illusion and seek to find out what that illusion is for in reality there is nothing to fear at all being broke is temporary and it carries with it some immense lessons and opportunities for positive change do not fear going broke it is not necessary to go broke but if you find yourself broke do not worry about it look for the lessons and opportunities in it fear of going
broke is a terrible disease it akes away the opportunities for growth takes away the opportunities for growth it prevents people from trying new things and it keeps them worried fear also attracts that which is feared and the fear of poverty creates poverty yet here’s nothing to be afraid of except here’s nothing to be afraid of except here’s nothing to be afraid of except he fear itself when you most feel like the fear itself when you most feel like holding on to something it is usually the best time to let go have faith believe know with certainty when you pick up a glass of water to drink from it you know without a shred of doubt
hat you will not fail to pick it up and that you will not fail to pick it up and rink the thought does not even occur to drink the thought does not even occur to you that you may not be able to drink the water you do it with certainty that is the level of faith belief and certainty you should have in yourself the laws of the universe and the capabilities of the source to work perfectly all the time it is the certainty you should have about your having received even before you asked and in the guarantee that you have it all if you think you do not have something decide now that you have
it and you will do not say but I don’t have it do not negate over time it will become second nature until then do your best and never think you cannot have it mind your mind you can acquire Faith with practice but it is faster to just decide once and for all that you have it how just decide
