Wouldn't it be possible to listen to the universe, have that faith, take those signals, keep your oars of the ship in the water and apply your control in the same direction as the faith based promptings? maybe that wasn't clear.

Like the analogy - if faith is letting your ship go with the currents without the oars and taking control is using the oars - why not use the oars to go with the currents? wouldn't that be powerful?

In other words, if you go only with faith, you aren't actively participating unless you control your direction enough to follow what the faith intuitions are telling you. You need control to take action or to even find the faith based messages and direction.
