There is only one letter that spells the difference between Truth and Trust. I decided that there may be a curious relationship between the two. In order to be trusted, one must be trustworthy and tell the “truth.” In order to know the truth, one must trust that the universe is perfectly unfolding, and that all is well. This is more than a play on words; it has real influence on our sense of peace and purpose in our lives. The first of the nine principles is “Trust in our relationship with Spirit.” In order to trust we must know the truth of who we are. Spirit is universal energy, and since it is all-there-is, there is no truth that lies outside of its power.
Our relationship is with the one love that exists, the one love that is our own essence. When we trust in our relationship with Spirit, we find the truth of our being.
I recently watched a TED talk on trust. The presenter said that we should trust people who are trustworthy. The continual movement of the universe in its unfolding is a testament to its power as the breath of life. I trust that the universe is moving perfectly. There is no condition or challenge in the universe that supersedes the energy of Spirit, because Spirit is all-there-is. The speaker also suggested that trust is a response to trustworthiness. The Spirit flowing endlessly within and around me, ensures me that all is well, always.
The art of trust is turning inward to trust ourselves – our spiritual identity. Loving Spirit invites us to love ourselves in the stillness of meditation. Every breath reminds us that we are one spirit, one truth, one trusted presence unfolding perfectly.
