deepening in Trust

Today’s suggestion ( from my free on line event https://www.facebook.com/events/658111517664905/ is about deepening in trust. Trust is not easy when everything seems to be going wrong and one is ready to jump out of their own skin. These times are about restoring overactive nervous systems to peace and inner harmony. This is not easy to do when every small thing can feel like Armageddon to our nervous systems, stressed for so long with inner or outer chaos. Then to hear that everything is happening for our highest good is another hard concept to accept.
The dilemma boils down to who or what we are putting our faith and trust in. If we are anchored in 3D reality, attempting to trust the government, the banks, the economy, the schools, we are caught in the undertow of these crumbling structures. If we put our faith in our ego decisions, we are sure to notice they often just lead to more suffering through judgments, projections, arguments, and attachments. Nothing seems to hold us as so much collapses around us, the things we had believed were stable.
It is almost as though we are experiencing earthquake after earthquake. The first time I was in a significant earthquake in 1987 I felt seriously betrayed and traumatized. I was an international call while at a nurse’s station at a hospital. I crawled under the desk, feeling shocked. Then the big one in 1994 shook me even more. How could the ground itself not be counted on to remain stable? This is symbolic of our times. What external thing can be counted on now? Add to it the seeming betrayal of often not being able to perceive our own best interest and we have a recipe for major upset.
So how can I ask you to deepen your trust? What am I asking you to trust in? In your own true Divine nature, the Christ consciousness that is the Truth of who you are. These times force us to recognize nothing else can sustain us, nothing else has the peace and stability we are so desperately seeking. Lesson 50 in A Course of Miracles says I am sustained by the love of God. Lesson 48 says there is nothing to fear. When we dive into these expressions of Reality, we find a comfort and peace we have never known.
While at the jail I recently shared these with one of the inmates. He had been hit with numerous stressors and was totally helpless to do anything about any of them. He had zero control and was feeling very agitated. Yet as we shared these two lessons, the feeling of peace, of joining, of trust was so palpable. Wishing half an hour both of us were in lock down on this life sustaining Truth. We both walked away deeply ground in the essence of our Being. This is the opportunity, nay, the requirement for accessing an inner peace that pass all understanding.
