Introduction
Fear is the inversion of that marvellous value of our
consciousness or our Being that is called trust. Every instance of fear in a
human being has rejection, pain, distrust and fear of the consequences.
Fear is Distrust
Within fear there is a tremendous distrust. The result is
that we with fear have come to not trust anyone or anything.
If for example, we are mistreated or betrayed by someone we
trust, our previous trust in that person is converted into distrust.
If a person goes into a house and is abused, for sure they
do not want to go to that house again. The result of that experience is that we
come to profoundly distrust that house and profoundly trust that something bad will
happen to us if we go to that house again. That distrust or trust in the
negative is fear.
The maximum in trust is that: “whatever happens I will be ok”.
This is trust in our Being that He is powerful enough to make us all ok in very
difficult circumstances.
If we are doing good we can trust that we are going to be
fine, as the law of cause and effect never fails, it is always there solid and
unmoving. If we do good, by law good will come to us.
Two Faces of Trust
Trust has two faces. One is for example: “I trust you will
not hurt me” and the second one is that “we trust that whatever happens, we or
God in us will manage or handle it all”.
The second face is the more complete one, because sometimes
what we with the first face trust won’t happen, can happen and then if it does happen
we have to have trust in ourselves and in our Being inside of us that we be ok
or will manage and pull through those difficulties.
Where is our Trust?
We tend now days to trust in matter more now than in God. We
actually trust more in ourselves and matter. God is the one that is above and
on top of everything so putting our trust in God is to put everything that we
can not control in His hands. Even if we trust in ourselves there are things
that we can not control or influence and so fear may arise in us.
Trust and God
Men have lost the trust in faith and in God because they tried
to reach God but somewhere along the line failed. Failure always brings about a
loss in trust and faith.
There is a great lack of trust in the spirit and a huge
trust in the ego, the mind and in the person. The solution is to build trust or
faith on knowledge or experience. Otherwise it is only in the mind and things
of the mind can easily be shaken off.
Conclusion
We acquire trust once again through acting not through
anything else. Conscious faith is that is which is based on knowledge and past experience.
This is the solution to acquire faith and trust and thus the most powerful
weapon to combat fear.
