Have faith in your own thoughts.

So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals and I've had one for 10 years now where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. I've been very lucky. I have great faith that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me.

But how odd that in this heathen nation of empty pews where churches' bare ruined choirs are converted into luxury loft living a Labour government - yes a Labour government - is deliberately creating a huge expansion of faith schools.

Through history people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith too.

Faith is an act of rational choice which determines us to act as if certain things were true and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

I've spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world's religions and I've done my homework. I've gone to each of the world's eight great religions and sought out the most profound scholars I could find and I've apprenticed myself to them and actually practiced each faith.

The faith I was born into formed me.

As reason is a rebel to faith so passion is a rebel to reason.

To believe only possibilities is not faith but mere philosophy.

And as the Divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
