A Life of Faith Climbs a Ladder Up the Side of a Mountain of Lies to Reach that Mountain’s Summit of Truth

The real miracle is that
While you can’t believe without implying your beliefs with actions
You can fake it ‘til you make it
Revealing the passage towards belief found in
Belying your disbelief with the actions of a believer
Until the actions are no longer a lie
And tell the truth of who you’ve become
Making the truth a lie that has come true
By living up to it
 
So, while belief and disbelief
Both implicate you in the truth
Your disbelief belies the truth
While your belief implies it
Making a materialist’s disbelief immaterial
Until it becomes the material for his belief
 
Moshiach will be the one who
Fakes it ‘til he makes it all the way
Matching God’s belief in us
With his belief in God
In the process showing us that the way to belief
Was never going around disbelief
But going right up its sheer face and over top it
Where, finally standing at faith’s peak
We can look out and see the truth revealed everywhere
Right where it was
The whole time we found it unbelievable
