The quieter your mind, the louder your soul speaks. Trust that voice. It’s been waiting to guide you home. (1000+)
The light of truth will make all darkness instantly fade away as it was all an illusion, a very well put illusion, but still an illusion.
To you! beautiful person reading these words. If the following ideas will bring a contribution to you, all the credits go to you. You already are everything you have ever wanted.
Trust is an essential part of giving; in fact, it is the part that makes sharing possible, the part that guarantees the giver will not lose, but only gain. ACM
One of the contrasting beliefs to “Trust is love” is “Concern is love (100)”. Even if at the first sight when we are concerned about something, it might seem to be connect with love, actually it's connected with a lack of trust. This is why when we believe that our concern is out of love for something is actually coming from a fear that what we want might not happen. And experience of fear is going to be there as long as we try to control what we want to happen. As when you try to control you only interfere with the bright, white light that love is.
Here is where if we switch to “Trust is love” and actually take time to play with this belief and actually feel it's power, we will be instantly amazed and grateful to making this choice.
From fear to trust
I remember when I got over my fear of flying. I was so anxious that for the whole day after flying, I was a mess. But as it happened this time I knew a few things about myself. I knew if I ask for a new way of being, I could see the illusion of fear. So just before getting on the flight home, 20 minutes before getting aboard I started to experience that intense fear where I was feeling my heart pounding in my neck. And I knew 20 minutes would be just perfect for me to get another perspective. So I stayed with myself for that little bit. I used the HOP process where I simply focus on different concepts for a little bit, concepts like receiving a gift, gratitude, awareness, allowing, being open to miracles and allowing myself to be as I am. In about 10 minutes I got my answer, I knew why I was so anxious.
The light of truth will make all darkness instantly fade away as it was all an illusion, a very well put illusion, but still an illusion.
I realised that all the anxiety I was having was because of my lack of trust in the pilots and in the airline. As soon as I became aware of that, I immediately choose to trust them. As I did that it was as if a fog just lifted and I was able to see clearly. I saw that I have every reason to trust them. I also became very aware that my negative belief was that “I have to control the plane” … that really didn't make any sense so it disappeared as if it was never there.
As the plane took off I became aware how much of a privilege I have to travel so quickly from one part of the world to another. I knew all this was possible because of the work, creativity and intelligence put into the safety of airplanes. We can fly and that in itself is like a miracle for someone that doesn't understand how planes fly.
As you recognize a miracle there is only room for gratitude in your heart.
As you choose to have trust in yourself first, something wonderful will happen with you. You will be able to hear that gentle voice in your mind. This gentle voice will answer and guide you towards everything you want to know and be.
And it is trust that makes true giving possible. Healing is the change of mind that the Holy Spirit in the patient’s mind is seeking for him. And it is the Holy Spirit in the mind of the giver Who gives the gift to him. ACM
Playing with time
This is not a far fetched experience. It's possible to you, right now. All it takes is a little bit of faith, a little bit of curiosity and playing with simply not doing anything except listening while trusting yourself, while expressing love to yourself.
Try it for 17 seconds. It might seem as an eternity at the beginning, but do it anyway, because as you do that, a shift in focus happens and you'll want to stay like this, being, trusting and loving yourself forever. Time will dissolve just like an ice cream under the sun, as you'll simply be in the forever now.
If you are in the forever now, notice how much your awareness shifted , notice how you feel and ask yourself what does this mean? The world didn't changed but somehow everywhere you look you see something new.
How lovely does the world become in just that single instant when you see the truth about yourself reflected there. ACM
