What comes out of that is bliss, love, happiness, etc, from what you say. It seems like you don't need faith to experience these as there's no risk of hellish stuff to get in the way.
In short, how do you use faith and will to build the bridge?
As a perspective, identity, or ego enmired in the illusion, we do not KNOW we are one with the universe. In fact, a great many people are of the confusion that the base of reality is entropy, randomness, complete and total unconsciousness (the materialist paradigm) which is an understandable conclusion if your only tools of observation are the sensory apparati of the physical body, which typically only perceives the physical world. Naturally, this is not preveil conditions. The sense of security is NOT total. People look out at this world and ask themselves, "What God would allow this?" Have you not done the same at different times in your life?
Thus, because we do not KNOW, we have to build the bridge of FAITH, which requires the leap of faith (the choice to believe), which requires WILL. Will and faith are two sides of the same coin.
And to the extent our faith is pure (sincere), we can experience various degrees of dialog with intelligent infinity and intelligent energy. It will guide your actions. Tell you secrets. Share with you understandings. Show you there is order in a seemingly chaotic universe.
Sometimes the bridge crumbles, the faith is lost, and people fall away from the light. When the bridge is no longer needed is when the abyss (that the bridge straddles) is crossed over fully (this is what some call enlightenment -- very rare in our density).
