Love & Trust
Vol 1 Issue 3

 Love

      We shall speak of the one ingredient that holds within it all of the other ingredients.  LOVE.  For that is who you are, in Truth.  Love is the ingredient that holds together all of your Be-ing, that creates all that exists in the physical world, in the mental world, in the emotional world, and the world of Spirit.  Because of your Ego perception you have blocked Love from your consciousness.  The Ego does not recognize the power, the creativity of this ingredient.

     The Ego manipulates the true meaning of  Love. Love is the greatest service that a Be-ing can enter into within his physical life, for it clearly brings him into consciousness and recognition of his God self.  There is a great deal to teach you about your perception of Love, but first we shall speak of some of the ways that Ego has distorted Love.

       The Ego sees Love as a weapon of great power to gain and hold control over others.  The Ego barters with Love, saying, “If  I give you my Love, you must give me respect, you must give me attention, you must give me devotion, obedience, your soul.”  There are degrees as severe as just spoken, just described.  And there are lesser degrees of how Ego uses its power to control through Love.  The Ego does not see Love as unconditional giving.  It views Love as a prize, a commodity, a treasure of physical substance to own, possess and control.  You may believe this is not truth:  that all the Ego is expecting is Love in return for the Love given.  What you do not recognize is that this expectation distorts Love, for on any level, expecting a return for what you give limits your ability, you power to Love and be Loved.

The Ego sees Love as something that comes from outside itself.  It sees Love as an energy that must be conquered – won, as a trophy is won for a sports event.  That is why Ego Be-ings created the elaborate mating game, playing out the illusions of Love by dressing up in the paint and armor of a warrior going into battle.  This is correct!  Be-ings battle one another to win objects of Love – to defeat one another in order to possess the trophy of Love.  The Ego creates each Be-ing as a trophy of Love for itself.

      Even the Love you cherish for your children in the Earth Plane is selfish through the Ego’s perception, for the Ego creates children in order to duplicate itself so it can ensure its continuance in the physical.  Children are treated as possessions to be molded into miniature replicas of the parents.  This is because man rears his children through the child within himself (Ego).  That is why there is great confusion, pain and resistance in the young children of the Earth plane while whey are working to grow into their true identity.  They are so blocked with the identity of the parent that they, many of them never make it to themselves.  All of these crimes are committed through the perception of Love within the Ego on your Earth Plane.

      This perception stretches beyond the personal relationship into the relationship of country to country, the relationship of man to nature, the relationship between man and God.  The distortion of Love energy blocks “Trust,” the next most important ingredient in awakening to your God self.

      Love is what God is!  The energy of Love is the reflection of God within your Be-ing.  You are Love.  This is difficult for you to follow through your Ego perception, so I shall give you a visualization.

      You are of the One energy which is God.  Your Physical Body in the Earth Plane is but a reflection of the One, as the light in your sky called ‘star’ is but a reflection of the planet from which the light that you see comes.  Therefore, in your reflection, your expression of the One is the energy of Love.  Love is the power that enables physical manifestation to be.  Love binds all energy together to form substance of physical matter.  Water represents the energy of Love in that it holds all the elements of your plane within it.  This is why your Physical Body is mostly made up of this fluid – water.

 Follow what is being said with you Mental Body.  See how everything relates to everything else in Creation.  A continuous flow of energy comes from the One (God) and from the light of your Be-ing within this flow.  You are a loving reflection of the Creator.  Until each Be-ing within the Earth Plane sees clearly that he is the energy of Love, and an extension of the One, he will not be free from the limitations of the Ego Body. Before you can Love another Be-ing, before you can Love an idea, before you can Love anything, before you can Love God, you must first recognize the Love for yourself.  Love your own Be-ing unconditionally.  For you cannot heal your Ego and the darkness it creates until you Love it unconditionally.  You must Love every part of your Be-ing, including the darkness, for only through Love can you heal.  Love is the healer!  The power of Love is immeasurable.  It takes great patience, patience with yourself, with you Ego.  This can only manifest out of the energy of Love.

      To Love yourself, you must understand yourself.  See yourself as energy, as a reflection of God.  Learn to forgive your Be-ing for its weakness, its Ego perceptions of greed, judgment, and fear – for patience and forgiveness are acts that manifest out of Love.  The work of changing your perception and your understanding of energy is not as overwhelming as your Ego tries to impress that it is. This tactic is what keeps you in an unconscious state, for whatever seems over-whelming creates a sleep state within your Be-ing.  In truth, all of these changes can take place within a moment of consciousness.

      The Ego, in truth, is Love, as all is Love.  You, as a God-manifestation, on the Earth Plane, have disconnected from this Love through the Ego part of your Be-ing, which fell into a sleep state.  Once asleep, you disconnected from the One.  This created illusion and negative perception through the Ego.  The Ego created separation from God (Love) through its loss of memory.  Align your Ego to God by aligning yourself with the positive Love energy that is the unconditional expression of Love.

 Trust

      What does it mean to trust?  Be-ings of the Earth Plane trust only what is proven over and over again from without.  If it is proven to them they can trust the word of their father when he speaks, then they will trust what he says.  If he is not consistent and does not follow through in his word, there will be no trust in what he says.  The Ego’s energy directs what is trusted and what is not, for only through the Ego’s perception and Ego’s experience does it either trust or mistrust people, things, outcomes or its expectations.

     It is because the Ego relies upon that which manifests from without that it trusts very little in the manifested world, for its manifested world is filled with many obstacles and negative experiences of pain and separation.  So, in truth, you must learn to trust your own energy, to trust in your power to create balance and peace, to trust in your ability to overcome obstruction and negative manifestations through Love of Self.

     Trusting is difficult for you within your Ego world.  You must create trust in yourself in order to pass through this world that you have created out of your darkness (fear).  Trusting sheds light upon this darkness.  You are the tool that will penetrate, through your trust, all of the negativity within your world.  How do you do this?  Begin at your Center, for you cannot change the world from without.  You can only change the world from within.  When you focus on your God self and you work with that Energy and trust it, you will transform your Ego, and this will serve the whole of humanity.

      Your Ego will tell you that changing yourself will do nothing, for you are a small insignificant Be-ing.  But this is an illusion, an untruth.  As every Be-ing focuses on himself, recreating peace, joy and balance, that chain of Energy connects one Be-ing to the next.  Before you know what takes place, the world changes.  Trust becomes part of this life for the Whole.  Within your world you will visually see and experience balance and peace, for this explosion of power through trust will change and transform all of your institutions, your legal system and your relationships with other countries, with your neighbor, your family and God.

Q:  Is trust something that comes naturally or do we have to learn how to trust?

 A:  You, as God Beings, are in the vibration of Trust.  It is your Ego mind (perception) that needs to learn how to trust.  So, understand that your true nature is to trust.  Your illusionary nature is to mistrust.  In this life, you are teaching your Ego to trust.  The Ego has many blocks to trusting.  Because it possesses great fear, it is limited.  The work in this life is to come into your God consciousness and align the Ego to your Higher mind by bringing the Ego through all of the ingredients (such as Love, truth, commitment, and so forth, with which it is familiar) to a peaceful space in which it can release its desire to control in order to survive its fear of loss.

      Q:  When a person has had many failures in a specific area of his life, for example, in relationships, wouldn’t he naturally learn to mistrust his own judgments in that area?

      A:  He does mistrust his judgments and it is not a natural act.  It is an act coming from fear, created out of holding onto the past.  The Ego holds on to the past and brings it into the moment, and this habit of the Ego creates many obstacles in your life.  As in this situation, when the Ego brings in the accumulation of experiences which are failures in relationships, it is creating fear in this area.  The fear becomes the obstacle that blocks trusting, for the fear works, in reality, to recreate the failures of the past.  Why it does this is because it is holding the weight of the memories of what has come before, and under this weight it cannot release the fear of reliving the past. Then it works busily to recreate the failing relationship in order to quickly pass through the pain that it anticipates in the moment.

      You must see how living outside of the moment burdens your Be-ing with negativity and fear.  For how can you fear the present if the present is as it should be? – an open space in which you are to create your life.  Let us speak of the colors and the canvas.  You are the artist and the moment is your canvas.  If the canvas is filled with the past or future, then there is no place to go, no space in the moment in which to create.  Your canvas must remain clean and ready to fill with the colors of the moment.

      When you are in God consciousness, no matter how many failed relationships of the past have been created, you are conscious only of the lessons learned through experiencing those relationships.  And the Lessons learned elevate your ability to create a lasting, loving relationship in the moment.
