Anxiety Jingle Bells - (3730)

Trust

It is like anxiety Christmas, just now, like a lot of people are feeling anxious lately. 

We know that the antidote for fear, anxiety panic etc. is trust.

The trick is always to know how to apply it.

In the case of anxiety and panic there are two cases. One with karmic loading and one without.

We have to apply trust in both cases differently.

Karmic: Ego plus Implacable Karma

Let’s look at applying trust in the karmic loading case.

In the karmic loading case, we can’t do much to rid ourselves from it. We can diminish it but have it gone from the human machine within a few minutes is not quite in the realm of our effective capacity.

So here goes trust. With trust we accept those anxious pending doom feelings, the onset of panic, in a mindful way, feeling it, observing the movement of feeling, the waves of it. Then not resist or fight it, trust in the Law having sent it to us for us to pay some debt, for us to learn a valuable lesson, for us to work more, for us to be more conscious, for us to become more understanding with others, for us to temper our endurance, for us to learn how to not identify with feelings and sensations etc.

Trusting that it is for the best, the Law is in it, the Being is in it, and that what has a beginning has an end. To pay karma is for our best. Once it is paid we are free from it.

With panic we think we are going to be in enormous trouble, but we never do get into it, things usually turn out alright. We can trust in that too, that reality is kinder than anxiety thinks, it may feel awful but we are not going to be crushed or stoned alive.

Normal: Ego

In the case of no karmic loading, trust is applied in the sense trusting in life, in the work or goodness of others, in our essence, in our Being that our essence and our Being will help us get through the apparently difficult circumstances that are coming. But mostly don’t come, they only really come when we have done something objectively wrong.

In the case of no karmic loading, we can jump aggressively on that ego. Convincing it with trust that things will be ok. Things are ok already even. In a short time things will normalize and be ok again. We have to get that essence trapped inside that ego to see outside of it’s own bottle. That sometimes even requires making the unacceptable the acceptable.

It could be me next, we may think. Well, you and me both have gone through it before and if we havn’t done anything of strong karmic consequence lately, if it appears, we will get through it once again. This time quicker than before. 

More posts to come.
