I suspect that trust is today's Holy Grail for many spiritual seekers.
To trust a Power greater than our self to have our back, to be on our side, to be for our benefit...according to our lights. And, there it is, the poison in the pretty...according to our lights.
The building blocks of trust begin with facing our fear du jour and moving toward it; showing our bum in public; allowing fear of rejection, dementia, poverty, et al., their place at our table sans silent suffering or whistling-past-the-graveyard bravado; meeting every instant's mental Uh-Oh with our heart's Thank You.
To honestly trust the higher Power is to realize love on a whole new plane...by not fearing but being open to the unknown be it by pain or plenty.
The new lesson is in the same-old-same-old, resist not evil...nonresistance, a higher realization of love down deeper.
It is baked in our decision to trust God with our fear of rejection, dementia, poverty. We are headed toward glory with our recognition that nothing turns us to God faster than fear. Resist not, welcome!
We discover our dark fear in God's hands is our greatest treasure.
Thank you.
