Fear and Trust

I have come to realize that fear and trust is inimical. They cannot co-exist. You cannot tie one to the other for trust is real and fear is an illusion.

No matter how we let fear manifest in the mind, it is still a fiction, a false emotion precipitated by the ego and its need to justify and sustain itself.

Trust, however, is a freeing gift from the benevolent and infinite Source that allows us to accept that things are as we create them on our growing path to enlightenment.

Throughout history humankind has been using fear as the great motivator, the great blindness not to see the serendipitous joy in living. Individuals, groups, societies and countries have used fear as the reason to react.

I have come to believe that once we acknowledge the genesis of fear, and trace it honestly and lovingly to its creator, the ego, it can no longer instigate or be the catalyst of negative action.

When fear does not exist, sacred and unconditional trust emerges.
