TRUST

We are going to go through some difficult times. Perhaps, we are already in them. It helps to have trust. "Trust in who or what?" We might hear. The idea of God, has been so contaminated by religion, how can we go there? It has been said that if God didn't create man; man would have created God. And, I believe man did create God; a god of punishment, a god of sacrifice, a god of judgement, a god demanding allegiance, a jealous god. Do you recognizes that god in the religion you were familiar with?

I rarely use the word God for that very reason. Privately I have no problem with the concept of God. I think of God as the sum of all that exists [and all is energy]. I see God in the splitting of a single cell amoeba and I see God in an exploding quasar. Every time I contemplate Nature, I am in awe of what I perceive. This magnificent energy I perceive in, and flowing through the Universe, I label Source. It is everything from the tiniest part of an atom to the totality of the known and unknown universe.

This energy that controls the movement of the stars and planets, and causes the flowers to bloom in our gardens, is what I think of as God or Source.

Perception is everything, and we can choose to see this energy as negative, as neutral, or as positive. No matter how I turn it over in my mind, I can not see it as negative; besides that is too scary, why would we want to live in a world created by fear? Neutral? Possibly, I suppose; everything just a giant machine, operating eternally. Many of us believe that. Maybe it, just is, what it is. And it is, what we put into it. So, if we put love into it, it is love. If we put fear into it it is fear.

What if the third possibility is true; what if it is positive? What if it is Love. What is the underlying energy of all creation? I seek an understanding of it. I search for it. I flow with it, during my meditations. It feels like love to me.

Trust is the belief, that the creative energy of the universe, as manifested in our everyday concerns, will manifest in positive solutions. We can make decisions based on unconditional love or anything else.

This is a difficult conundrum for us. We got ourselves into this pickle by following our ego's promptings. We have been following our ego around for so long, disguised as self preservation, that we cannot often distinguish an ego driven decision from a sound one. We are truly blind! That is why I recommend that we give up all our beliefs. We are blind, but if we choose to see the universe as loving, we can begin to trust. Trust that Nature will function without our meddling. Trust that, if we give up fear, and embrace love we will see a different world.

As things collapse around us, we can make panic driven ego decisions and stay in the pickle we're familiar with, or we can trust Source [the Energy of the Universe] to shape our decisions for us. If we make our decisions, based on the idea, that all are worthy, all are love, all are one, all are part of the whole, can we go wrong?

We deserve to live in paradise. Nature, and our Loving Mother Earth, hold out Paradise to us. Just look! Anything you see as negative is what we have done. All the pollution, destructive mining, tearing and scraping of the Earth can be undone. Our Mother will heal herself and we can help. If we trust in Nature, if we love ourselves and our neighbors, we can let our decisions come from the center of our being; they will be in line with Source.

Trust in ourselves, our true selves, we know the right direction in our hearts. We will experience what a world of love looks like. There is going to be some rough times. It can't be helped. The results of many past ego decisions need to play out. It won't take as long as we might think. We need to keep our eyes on the light. The more we experience our oneness, the more powerful the healing energy will be.

Celebrate; sing, dance, laugh, it's a great day!
