5 Ways To Find Faith in Your Daily Life
It is light in the darkest night. It brings people to their knees. It is symbolic and powerful, yet proof less and criticized. It illuminates life and it wages war. It escapes some and captivates many. It is faith; to some it is doctrine, to others it is fiction.
Today’s definition of faith doesn’t have to relate to religion; it can be trust or belief in something without proof. But in today’s society the invisible creates disbelief. People lack faith in all areas of their lives because they are looking for evidence. They are waiting for the ideal job, the perfect relationship and financial abundance. They are looking for something tangible—and as a result, they are still waiting. When the answer doesn’t fall into their laps they become cynical and they lose faith.
I was riding in the elevator one morning and a gentleman was repeatedly pressing the button for the 5th floor, but it wasn’t lighting up. I kindly told him that I too had pressed the same button and that the light didn’t work. He laughed and said, “Are you sure we will still arrive?”
I said, “I have faith that the elevator will stop on the 5th floor, yes.”
He looked at me long and hard and responded, “Really? I’m not sure I have that much faith. If it doesn’t seem to work it must be broken.” I said, “If we arrive on 5 will you be a believer then?” He said, “No, it takes more evidence than that.”
What a powerful, symbolic statement. He lacked faith that he would arrive at his destination and for him this destination probably related to life itself. How many of you are so jaded by past experiences that you too have lost all faith and wonder if you are even on the right path?
I can relate to losing inspiration and faith. I spent three years working on a business venture that sucked the life out of my very existence, but I believed that I had to endure hardship to find happiness. I had lost hope that I would ever find passion or joy again. But my inner guidance knew better. I finally had to ask myself: Why is it okay to sacrifice even one day of my life in exchange for potential happiness, when I could be happy right now? I finally took a huge leap of faith and scrapped the entire project. I found strength in my inner wisdom, which knew that I deserved more.
What evidence do you need to rediscover faith in something or in yourself? Are you looking for a lightning bolt? Are you waiting for a lottery win? Have you considered asking for what you want or does it seem like too much to hope for? Have you searched your inner knowing to see what the block is to your own success or happiness? Are you able to recognize what you do have in life?
Today, stop and take pleasure in life’s little miracles. Recognize that each day is a gift, and understand that every breath you take is a test of faith. If you need a little reminder, try these tips on how to find faith in your daily life:
- Have Faith in Lessons Learned
First ask yourself, “Where did my faith go?” What triggered the feeling that you are unsupported? It is a past hurt? Is it a “bad” decision? Is fear playing a role? Sometimes fear tells us we can’t have something and then we lose faith because it doesn’t happen. If you can identify the origin, ask yourself what valuable lesson that experience might have taught you and where you may be repeating that same lesson today.
- Affirm
Affirmations are very powerful. Even if you don’t believe the words initially, your body absorbs the meaning cell by cell. Try, “I have faith in myself and the process of life. I am protected and joyful each and every day.”
- Check Your Pancreas
When the pancreas is imbalanced it carries the emotional energy of feeling defeated by life. Make sure you keep your blood sugar in check by eating every 3-4 hours and eliminating sugar. You may need to see a holistic practitioner to create a special diet or rebalance key minerals.
- Look for Signs
Signs can come in all forms. It can be a song that you are meant to hear or a “coincidence” that repeats itself. Be specific about what kind of sign you need to see for an answer. For example, if you need to know whether to take that new job in Florida, ask for a certain number of signs that relate to Florida that can indicate a yes.
- Dream big, expect the best and let go
The more you can imagine for yourself the bigger your life can be. The key is to believe that you are the designer of your destiny. Write out your ideal life like you already have it and then let go, trust and enjoy the ride.

What Is the Third Dimension and What Is Its Spiritual Role
The third dimension is the level of existence in which form, matter, and the linear perception of time predominate. It is the plane where consciousness is experienced through the body, the senses, and duality. In this article, we explore what the spiritual 3rd dimension is from the perspective of Matías De Stefano, as explained in the series Initiation, available on Gaia.

What Is the Third Dimension?
The third dimension is one of the nine dimensions of the universe and represents the plane where energy takes physical form. Here, figures that arise from subtler dimensions acquire volume, density, and depth. It is not just a material space, but a structure of consciousness designed to experience reality through the tangible.
This plane is characterized by the perception of height, width, and depth, which allows for interaction with the environment through the senses. Consciousness at this level identifies with the body, with the linear passage of time, and with the idea of separation. It is at this point where contrasts are experienced: pleasure and pain, success and failure, light and shadow. All learning is built upon direct experience.
In the series Initiation, available on Gaia, it is explained that the third dimension is the setting where consciousness becomes matter to recognize itself through the senses. It is a necessary stage of the evolutionary process, where the soul can explore, practice, and transform its own energy into concrete experiences.
Differences Between the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Dimensions
These three dimensions are present simultaneously, but each one offers a different way of perceiving and processing reality. Understanding their differences helps to integrate the evolutionary path with greater clarity and awareness.
- Third dimension: This is the level of existence in which form, matter, and the linear perception of time predominate. Everything here is experienced through the body, the senses, and logic.
- Fourth dimension: This is the plane of time as a flexible structure, emotions, dreams, and energy in motion. It allows us to observe the internal processes behind what happens.
- Fifth dimension: This is the plane of expanded consciousness and a global vision. At this level, the unity of all things is perceived, and the soul’s purpose is accessed without judgment.
Depth and Matter in the Third Dimension
The main feature of the third dimension is depth. Unlike previous dimensions, which only allow for lines and flat shapes, this plane adds volume, enabling figures to become objects. Thanks to this depth, the abstract takes form and becomes tangible. This is the foundation on which all our material experience is built.
Matter in this dimension is not just something physical: it is the result of an energetic structure that has been densified. Every object is made up of patterns that originate from subtler dimensions but are organized in the third to form what we consider “real.” That is why, although objects appear solid, at their core they are fields of information vibrating at a specific frequency.
Understanding matter from this perspective allows us to see it not as something static, but as something in constant transformation. Nothing is completely solid or separate: everything is sustained by invisible relationships and by the energy that constitutes it. The third dimension is the point where those relationships become visible so we can explore them through the body and the senses.
The 3rd Dimension as the Plane of Sensory Reality
The third dimension is the only plane in which consciousness can be experienced through the five senses. Here, everything that is seen, touched, heard, smelled, or tasted acts as a path to knowing the world and oneself. This sensory interaction turns every experience into a learning opportunity. Consciousness immerses itself in matter to discover who it is through what it perceives.
This plane also allows the passage of time to be registered in a linear way, generating a sequence of moments: past, present, and future. That structure is essential for experience to have a narrative development, with causes, effects, and a sense of continuity. Thanks to this, we can build memories, make plans, and evolve within a logical framework. Without this sequence, organizing learning would be difficult.
Living in the third dimension does not mean being disconnected from the spiritual. On the contrary, this plane allows higher consciousness to be integrated through concrete actions. Every gesture, every relationship, and every decision offers the opportunity to align what we think, feel, and do. In this way, the physical doesn’t become a limitation, but a means to expand consciousness.
Is Reality Real? The Illusion in the Third Dimension
Although in the third dimension everything seems solid and separate, what we call “reality” is, in essence, a perception. What we touch, see, or feel is mediated by the senses and by the mind’s interpretation. That’s why what one person considers real can be completely different for another. Reality is not absolute—it is subjective and depends on the consciousness that observes it.
From a deeper perspective, matter is nothing more than energy organized into visible forms. What seems fixed is actually a vibration in constant motion. Even the most solid objects are made of expanding atoms, voids, and force fields. What we perceive as a “thing” is a mental construct based on stimuli and prior memories.
This understanding leads us to see the third dimension as a game of perception. It’s not a lie, but an illusion created so that consciousness can recognize itself in different scenarios. Understanding this doesn’t mean denying the physical—it means living it with greater awareness, knowing that what we experience is only one part of a much broader reality.
Spiritual Third Dimension: The Soul Incarnated in the Physical
The third dimension is not a realm foreign to the soul. On the contrary, it is the space where the soul projects itself in order to experience through the body and matter. To incarnate does not mean to “fall” into the physical, but to adopt a temporary form that allows one to feel, choose, create, and transform. From this perspective, living in this plane is an opportunity to explore consciousness from its limits.
When the soul incarnates in the third dimension, it faces the illusion of separation. This experience is necessary to develop identity, will, and a sense of self. It is through contrast that the possibility arises to recognize love, empathy, truth, or coherence. Each experience becomes a reflection that helps the soul remember who it truly is.
Embracing physical life as part of the spiritual path completely transforms how we inhabit this plane. Every sensation, every relationship, every obstacle has a purpose within the evolutionary process. The soul is not trapped in a body—it is using that body as a tool to expand, learn, and manifest its potential in a concrete plane.
Why We Shouldn’t Escape the 3D
There’s a common misconception that one must “escape” the third dimension to evolve spiritually. But this view stems from a rejection of the physical and the human experience, as if they were a mistake or a burden. In truth, this plane is not a punishment or a lower stage, but an essential part of consciousness’s journey. True growth happens by integrating it—not by avoiding it.
The third dimension brings challenges, but it also offers unique tools: the body, time, emotions, direct action. This is where everything learned in subtler levels is put into practice. If this plane is not fully lived, it becomes impossible to sustain the frequency of higher dimensions. Skipping stages only creates imbalance and confusion on the inner path.
To accept and inhabit this plane with presence does not mean resignation—it means embracing its purpose. The soul chose this dimension to evolve, and to escape it is to deny itself a vital part of the process. Only someone who has fully lived in the physical can integrate higher consciousness with stability, clarity, and coherence.
The 3rd Dimension as the Foundation of the Higher Dimensions
Far from being a separate dimension, the third is the base upon which the others are built. Every spiritual experience requires an anchor point in physical reality. Ideas, emotions, and intentions cannot expand unless they find a structure to support them. In this plane, that structure is the body, the environment, and everyday action.
Higher dimensions don’t float in some “beyond”; they are constructed from here. Every clear thought, every balanced emotion, and every coherent action creates the conditions to access more elevated states. There is no ascension without roots. The third dimension gives us those roots—the stability necessary to grow without losing center.
That’s why the more conscious life is in this plane, the more possibilities there are to open doors to other levels of reality. The depth developed through physical experience allows for expanded perception without disconnection. Instead of being an obstacle, the third dimension is the essential support for the soul’s evolution through all the other dimensions.
