Faith : listener question

I keep wondering about faith (and I don’t just mean religious ideology), which seems to be fundamental  for us to be able to come to awareness and let go of old conditioning patterns of belief. 

I do have an inner sense of spirituality and faith which I think I have brought to awareness through lifelong study, creative expression and trying to understand the causes of my suffering. But maybe what is missing for many people is a formative strong sense of faith that already knows on some level, its essential divine nature.
