| Lessons In Trusting The Universe
Most of us have problems trusting the Universe, Prime Creator,
- First Cause, The Tao, God.
- We seem to have trouble trusting because we view the chaos,
- violence, illnesses and general scarcity of what is needed
- as a failure on the part of God, a failure to provide for us
- as promised in all of the holy books and spiritual teachings.
The truth is it is not a failure on God's part,
- but rather a reflection back to us of our lost Will.
- It is the fears, denials, and judgments
- that we are projecting out into the world.
In order to reverse this trend which has been moved out
- into the consensus reality of mankind by our own beliefs,
- we must go within ourselves and move the feelings and
- emotions that we are holding within us.
This is not a work to be taken lightly; as simply acknowledging
- the fact that we have fears, denials, and judgments
- will not move them—they must be expressed in order
- to move them and recover lost Will.
The healing and recovery of our lost Will must be done
- and is part of the process of healing Mother Earth.
- For us to heal our world, and move into a New Age of peace,
- joy, and abundance we must begin with ourselves.
- As each one of us heals—that healing is moved out into
- the mass consciousness of the world—of Mother Earth.
The path to this inner healing can be long and arduous.
- Mine was experienced as though moving through a cavern
- of darkness, one step at a time.
- Trusting each step to be on solid ground—at times unable
- to touch the cavern walls for the security they represented.
- Feeling my way and stepping out into space with nothing
- to support me, but my trust in The Lord—in the Universe.
There have been glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel,
- but twists and turns along the way have obscured the light
- and have at times seemed to delay the end of the journey.
- The light is now fully visible at the end of the tunnel
- as the path moves upward to the outside world
- and the completion of this Journey of Trusting.
As a result of releasing all of these feelings and emotions,
- I have felt many aches and pains within my body.
- These aches and pains have been a result of the release
- of cellular memory, for when we hold feelings and emotions
- within our bodies, they are held within all of our cells.
- This is all a part of the healing process and soon goes away.
This process has involved the most basic needs for security and
- sustenance, through to the higher needs
- of worthiness and love.
- It has involved every feeling and emotion that can be
- felt and expressed.
Feelings and emotions have been judged against and denied
- by ourselves, others, and society.
- All feelings and emotions—resentment, fear, panic, terror,
- anger, rage, bitterness, loneliness, feelings of abandonment,
- unworthiness, lack of self-esteem and self-acceptance, lack
- of love must be acknowledged, experienced, expressed,
- and released in order to heal our emotional bodies.
As each of us has events come into our lives that generate fear,
- panic, and terror, or any emotion that we normally suppress
- and hide from others; instead of suppressing them
- and denying that we are experiencing them, we must
- acknowledge these feelings, experience them, express
- them,and then release them to the Universe—to God.
- Unexpressed feelings are held within our bodies
- and create only more fears and denials
- and may manifest as illnesses.
This does not mean that these feelings have to be expressed
- for others to behold or be lambasted by them.
- These feelings must be expressed in a place that feels safe
- to us—at home or in our rooms, and need only
- to be expressed to ourselves and the Universe.
When these feelings and emotions are triggered in us
- by events in our lives, we must understand that the reason
- or purpose for the event is that we have lessons to learn.
- We must realize and Trust that the Universe is bringing these events
- to us so that the feelings and emotions might be healed.
