Trust
“To trust unconditionally in the forces that created
everything is to invite unconditional love into your heart.”
Very often,
we may feel like these lonesome warriors on our spiritual paths. Sure, we got
the books, we learned to meditate, we know so much already, yet there are days
when things just don’t come easy, or so it seems. There are days when doubt
creeps in. I am pretty certain that anyone who focuses on their spiritual
development encounters doubt at one point or another. It does not matter what
we doubt, who we doubt or if we know that we doubt. The sense of uncertainty
and the faltering energetic pattern that I could best describe as wavering and
collapsing onto itself, seems to be at the core of the pattern that we call “doubt”.
Undoubtedly (pun intended) that state is one of misalignment. Doubt tells us
one thing and one thing only. It only tells us that we have slipped a bit
farther away from our alignment with source and that is that. The big hype
about doubt is just that – it is nothing more than a wee call from our source
to find the emotion that hangs on the other end of the polarity stick. In my
book that would be trust.
Given, trust
is not the easiest place to reach when you are sitting up to your nose in
doubt. Doubt is such a disempowering emotion that it can be very difficult to
find a way out. One day, I found myself doubting the universe at large (I never
do things on a small scale). I was engulfed by this doubting emotion and could
not find my way back into a better place. I shook my fist to the heavens; I
cried, I kicked. If I remember correctly I may have even cussed and screamed –
yes, I am pretty sure that’s how it went. I did all my resisting until I was
fully exhausted. Source always knows when you are ready to hear and so in my
exhaustion, when I had no more fight in me, when I finally let things be, just
because there was nothing I could do (or so I thought), I heard a tiny voice in
my inner ear. It whispered to me, “Why don’t you doubt your doubt?”
Instantly,
everything looked possible again and I had to laugh so hard. Life was simple –
again. Over time, I have found so many simple solutions to the complicated
knotted up situations I had created, that this one was just too good not to
share with others. Since then, this one sentence has quite possibly helped a
fair amount of my friends through their tough doubting spots.
Perhaps it
was just the laughter, which had catapulted me out of my self-inflicted mess.
Be it as it may, I was able to find better thoughts, and I was able to see some
light at the end of my self-created tunnel. I found that only universal forces
could come up with such a simple logic that works and almost instantly, I found
myself again aligned and trusting. Trust that all is as it is supposed to be
and is unfolding in absolute perfection, has become a mantra and I nurse it. I
take care of trust as if it were a tender plant. I don’t take trust for
granted. I feel appreciation for my ability to trust again and again in the
source of all that is. It is not just trust that unfolds in this approach, but
one can also find the energies of grace and mercy in such an experience. To me,
appreciation, trust, grace, and mercy are shades close to the energy of
unconditional love, which is the fabric of everything that is.
