description Faith and understanding are in a complex relationship with each other; they are living in their own way in the depths of every developed human consciousness. I believe in something and I understand something, but I do not understand everything I believe in, but sometimes I believe in something I don’t understand at all. Add the problem of proof to this. Not all that we believe in can be supported by proof. Relationship of faith, understanding and proof are designated as “intimate” by the author of the article because they are immersed in the depth of consciousness of each of the individual characters-personalities. Thus, it is proposed to call “faith” a certain directed state of the psyche, subordinate not to the dictatorship of external influences but to the internal intentions of the personality determining one of the directions of his inner world. “Understanding” is the ability, the skill of consciousness to establish a causal relationship placing the “phenomenon” in the frame of one of the existing pictures of the world or creating a new one. “Understanding” can also be attributed to the inner world of another person. Do you understand me…“Proof” is the ability to confirm something with certain constructions: arguments and theories, including axioms that do not require proof. The article expands on the content of the entire designated triad, but, most of all, the author pays attention to the questions of faith. Faith is mentioned in the article, above all, in connection with the theory and practice of religions, but faith, the author believes, is present even in the most rigorous sciences. The most common, characteristic case is the belief in the semantic ability of mathematics. One can also call the judgment of faith in a sufficiently finite number of expert checks to finally confirm the law relating to an infinite (in potency) number of cases. As a result of the movement on the topic, the author comes to the thought of immersing himself in the inner world of the individual. He immerses and imagines it both as an intimate property of the personality, and as the thing capable of covering outer space with the thought. My world is a gift from Heaven or Nature. Whose exactly is a matter of faith.
