The Leap of Faith: Committing to God's Presence

So the spiritual quest is a leap of faith. What is the leap of faith? That even though I may not have yet be able to report on the direct experience of His presence, yet I commit myself to God and this discovery fully. Because something in my heart tells me that this has to be true. That is faith. That God is not distant from me. He is the most intimate. He is the only presence. And then if we don't hear our heart strongly enough yet, God has given us the benefit of thousands of sages who have lived over thousands of years who all reported on the same thing. And even if they were imagining things, isn't it strange how all of them imagined the same thing? You see, in there, this was not the time of social media where something could go viral and then everybody has the same concept. This was in very vast distances, very different languages, cultures, and traditions.
