Trust
by Just me
What do we know about trust? Not much right, perhaps it because we have had so much infiltration of deception, misgivings and lies that it has become very difficult to trust anyone especially at this time on the planet.
When I look at this in my own perspectives, based on my own experiences I say to self, in every aspect of my life there has been actions of deception, misgivings and lies. Every aspect! So as I begin to scan the areas this relates to in my past I begin to ask myself what did I learn?
Interestingly enough, I want to immediately say, I learned to not trust anyone, but instead I try to go deeper. I want this because I know there are areas within me that I truly need to find understanding. So, I go deeper and say what lesson is in this action of deception towards me that I must learn from. I found that this can be difficult to do, because I was hurt in the midst.
Once I have been able to get past the hurt of re-examination, I ask myself lovingly again, what is the lesson or understanding in this particular incident(s). I truly am seeking healing, guidance of higher self and understanding. At this point many things may begin to come to mind and I did, and you may even feel a bit sick to your stomach at first as it comes to the surface. Ask your guides, guardians and higher self to help with this, I did.
Sometimes pictures come to mind as if it’s a movie replaying in the mind’s eye… its ok. Just let it roll and this is my experience of processing the information… or preparation of purging. Many times the understandings that we get are not at all what we thought, mostly because of wanting to blame.
Letting go of the blame and seeing it for what it truly is …Is the key to unlocking the door of trust once again. I say this because I have experienced it. This doesn’t happen overnight necessarily, especially when you have been in my shoes/experiences. But it can happen if you allow it to. A little at a time is good.
I have found that shifting this old energy pattern into careful discernment, not based on hurts, but understandings becomes a very valuable tool. Especially in the ever shifting of the waves we find ourselves riding today.
I know and understand the pain many feel from deceptions, misgivings and blatant lies and I also know that the reason I experienced these times were so I could relate to so many others. In relating to others, I feel I am able to be of use in helping; to heal from my own personal experiences and how I was able to overcome them and learn to trust once again, as is my desire for others.
Do I do this the same as I always did, no not necessarily? It takes discipline within the self, not jumping to conclusion based on my own experiences… because even though I have understanding of hurts, I am not that other person and I have not lived there experiences. However, I can share how I was able to open my heart once again and this is how we can learn to trust others again…. but mostly ourselves.
In closing, I have found that more often than not, it’s the mind that tricks us. Not the heart, however the heart can be closed off and heavily guarded from all the hurts and experiences and that is something for all to ponder upon.
My love to all, Aly

Hi John,
Totally agree with what you say about love of self....and I tend to love myself unconditionally, also...
Nobody can shatter my self-belief....and when they try, events always defy the attempt...
After all, love is an intrinsic spiritual truism and defines our beingness....And like yourself I've always been this way and it is something that you are, or are not...

Thanks Drekx. Some people are just born with it, I guess they developed it in past lives. Not to say we don't have issues, or I don't have issues, just...I've learned not to let other peoples opinions of me define me. They can think whatever they want, they don't know me....and I think when you're really in touch with yourself, that's how it is.
You just know you...you know who you are and what you're about, and if other people don't see that....well that's their illusion. It's not yours, and you don't take it on, because you know yourself. Know thyself...it's very important. And I think alot of our experiences, if not all of our experiences in life, center around getting us to know and discover more of who we are.
And it's not just knowing or finding ourselves, but also creating ourselves into what we want to be. Having a vision, and seeing ourselves as the person we want to become. How we see ourselves, is ultimately what we'll create ourselves to be.
I'd say I trust by default, I consider people innocent until they prove themselves guilty...but you can't put your total trust and faith into anyone. To be honest, I trust myself more than I'd trust anyone else, for anything....I just trust my own skills and intelligence, and discernment....more than I do anyone elses. What's that old saying, if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself lol
Totally agree, dear sister....thanks for posting this..
