Q: What's a leap of faith?

R: A leap of faith means that you believe something with no proof at all. If you are talking about “God,” that’s all there is. Take it or leave it. There’s nothing else.

Dear Pablo,
According to this site.... http://www.geocities.com/tarunkiran/mainpage.htm

8. Always remember, if you really want the power to heal, you can have it through faith, which means a knowledge of the working of your conscious and subconscious mind. Faith comes with understanding.
9. Blind faith means that a person may get results in healing without any scientific understanding of the powers and forces involved.

HTH!
Naty :^)

neutral  Refugio: I think a leap of faith metaphor is more about flying (like Daedalus) than diving.

salto de fe


Explanation:
Se trata de un término técnico teológico-filosófico que se remonta a Soren Kierkegaard. Hay que traducir la frase así.
"Para evitar la desesperación última, el individuo tiene que dar un 'salto de fe' similar en una vida religiosa, que es en sí misma paradójica, misteriosa y se halla plagada de riesgos. Uno está llamado a ello por el sentimiento de la angustia, (El concepto de la angustia 1844) que, en última instancia, es un temor a la nada."

un cambio cualitativo en la forma de experimentar la fe


Explanation:
Existen teorias respecto a que a veces en el camino espiritual se produce un cambio de relacionamiento personal con la divinidad, el cual, además de ser un momento que "sella" el corazón o la vida de la persona, cambia la calidad y el "lugar" desde donde se vive la fe.

paso de fe


Explanation:
En mi opinión la frase más clave en esta situación. Durante muchos años de convivencia en la comunidad Hispana pude notar el uso de esta expresión [más templada] versus ‘salto de fe’. Gracias. mzm
