A Lesson from the Spirit

"Do you trust the space you live in? Do you trust yourself, living in that space?
Trust is not merely your attitude toward something. Trust is a firm connection, a necessary symbiosis that allows life to be—to allow development, to allow striving, dreams, to be realized in their spiritual aspect.
Sometimes you trust someone, blindly close your eyes, and follow boldly without looking back or stopping. It is good when you do this in response to your soul. It is bad when you do it out of coercion or under the influence of those who hold power over you—whether from imitating someone, or wanting to please, to be one of your own among your own.
It is not for the sake of gain that you should follow someone and entrust yourself to them and their views, but for the awakening of your own, for the growth and transformation of your inner strength.
Even if you trust someone purely, selflessly, because you feel it with your soul, and follow in their footsteps yet sense that something is wrong.
At first it is as if everything stops, freezes around you. As if you are in some stagnation, incomprehensible, unexamined. Then everything can take on more disheartening, unpleasant features, as if it is cracking, losing its former solidity, its foundation, crumbling before your eyes.
Because by trusting the one you follow, you are not trusting yourself, and then you do not see yourself in them, you do not see yourself on the road along which you follow someone.
And the point is not at all who is leading you. The point is you yourselves, your trust in yourself. If you feel like a stranger on that road, then so it will be.
It is important to trust yourself wholly, without reserve, without stinginess and without hesitation, as if you can see several steps ahead, seeing yourself there—at that point—knowing and understanding why you are there and where you are going next.
See yourself gratefully receiving the processes of transformation to which you are ready, toward which you strive, which are already happening to you.

They show how a person takes a step, then a dotted line extends, and there stands his silhouette further along the path. And in an instant they reunite, becoming one whole.
"This is not a practice of the shortest route to success, but this practice will help you see yourself wholly, without remainder, as one single whole.
In complete union with that point where you once noticed yourself, where you once wished—expressing your intention—to be in that point with full understanding, with lived experience, with wisdom looking forward, with the knowledge that is now being decoded in your subconscious, so deeply where it was once kept, so that now, with understanding and acceptance of this given, you desire again to grasp it, to feel it, to pass it through yourself, through that foundation, through that core of your soul that pulses with an invisible light—the energy of all-encompassing, all-forgiving, selfless, unconditional love.
And then you will see yourself who has walked along the dotted line of your road, reunited with that same self that is not merely your reflection, not merely a shell, but that permanent true knowledge that was implanted in you once.
And now, with full awareness, with full acceptance and resolve, you reunite with that storehouse of incredible knowledge that was concealed within you. For the sake and the good of all that exists and of you. So be it. 🙏"
