The entry ticket to every relationship is vulnerability to hurt, rejection, and loss. A truly rich life requires that we embrace this vulnerability, that we properly manage our desire for control—that we trust life. -- Rabbi Nahum Ward-Lev, Daily Meditation, February 6, 2025
Trust...that is the essence of my consciousness today. That single word came to mind a while back, and it repeats itself as needed...as in, right before I get poleaxed by my own doubts and fears.
In my consciousness of negative as a plus, i.e., nothing turns me to God faster than fear, I do live relatively free of doubts and fears today. I live more in wonder...wonder at the plans of Trump and his believers for their idea for America, for instance.
From my own personal experience, I have come to believe that in the end everything happens for good. Further, that our good is often what we worked and prayed so hard for it not to happen. Best I keep that in mind.
Trust. There it is...the essential ingredient for a fear-free mind...trust what is to be beneficial to our self...eventually, with a probable change of our mind.
According to me, we can build trust by our worst fear coming true...after all our prayers for it not to happen. Then, when it happens, it becomes another pearl beyond price...through grace, God and gratitude.
I am grateful from my toes to my nose that I was led to Meister Eckhart's, If the only prayer you pray in your life is thank you, that would suffice.
That is not my only prayer today, but it is closing in on it. That and impeachment.
Thank you.
