I know I have lived in fear and it is beneath a trap door I trip into on a regular basis - although I am happy to say less frequently than I used to. This door sits somewhere between pessimism and worry and the tunnel down have very slippery sides. I find EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) the only reliable stepladder out. I am rarely neutral, although perhaps more ambivalent. I am afraid of hope and practice daily affirmations for positive expectation /belief, trust/faith and knowing/conviction. As a child, teen even young adult I lived in knowing/conviction which resulted in some serious manifestation, moving to USA from UK alone to live, a VW bug, world travel, 2 computers. Then people started to tell me that I needed to EARN not just manifest and I believed them. Up to now EARNING hasn’t been a strength - what with ADD and brain injury, I’m just a little to unconventional for most employers. Really I wouldn’t want me working for me!!! This is what I think of who I am - the question is can I circumvent this and trust who I know I am? Trust

Having studied the Law of Attraction for longer than any of the present-day gurus making gazillions from the current fashion, and having attempted to manifest for about that long ... I can't say my belief upon deciding to take real action was all-knowing and complete. But it was enough that I took what would be considered an incredible risk, trusting enough that the Universe would grant my wish and provide for me in the process. It didn't happen. I ended up far worse off than before. So I have certainly "tried it out." I did more than that. I trusted. And was let down.

The words Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge appear many many times together in the Bible. What is the difference in them? Which one would be the highest to attain? The majority of people feel 'Wisdom' is the highest since that is what Solomon asked for. But is it? After meditating on it, I was given the answer. 'Wisdom' is like the little voice inside us that tells us something. 'Understanding' is when we actually 'try it out'...we experiment with it. That gives us the understanding of it. Once we have experimented several times...then we 'know'. Knowing is 'Knowledge'. With that 'Knowledge' comes trust. When you Know something, you trust it. I have the 'Wisdom' so now I will begin to experiment. In order to ‘trust’ something one has to ‘know’ it. The words Wisdom, Understanding and Knowledge appear many many times together in the Bible.

Sure is easy with the things that have less intensity. I have complete faith and trust in so many aspects of my daily creating. I'm great at finding the positive aspects and changing my thought to something that feels better. I seem to hover in the happier vibrations, except when it comes to money. Yes, that's the one I've practiced the negative vibrations about longer. A few years back I did recognize that my resistence was causing my woes and after allowing myself to feel better, everything started moving and changing for the better! Now I'm kinda stuck again....feeling the influence of someone close to me who is directly connected through money. He is very negative and I'm "putting him in my PIE!" Yikes!! So I've been starting each morning with the intentions that no matter WHAT, I want to feel good, I want to laugh, I want to learn something new that will serve me in my future and I want to be around only beings with great positive energy. Well, it was a good day and now I'm going home to my sweet pure positive animal family and Mr. Negative has not called all day, thank you Universe! Tonight I will intend before I sleep, that my inner Being will assist me to let go of beliefs that do not serve me regarding money and tomorrow I will be REBORN into the abundance that I have always known!!

And I am working on that - as Abraham says, "The Universe is not my mother." It does not judge my worthiness, only my vibration. My work is to trust that I worthy and deserving and put that out to the Universe.

For the last couple of years I've been developing the practice of learning to 'trust the process'. Often it's not possible to see where the future leads and I have to allow the process, and simply trust that all is as it should be. And yet my life doesn't seem to be more of what I would prefer! More recently I am learning the practice of 'releasing control' and accepting that I am powerless to change the face of things. I know that I Am powerful beyond my imagination, and yet I live trapped in a tendency to doubt my worth. At present I'm working with the technique given by Abraham: reach for the feeling of relief. This is proving to be valuable in releasing me from the grip of emotional paralysis. So, I've learned to 'trust', but the level of 'knowing' is presently at an intellectual level. I have yet to embed 'knowing' into my 'being'. ‘Trust’ and ‘knowing’ … hmmm.

It is only now, in my forties, that I am coming into a sense of knowing of what it means for me, and my connection to everything in the universe. In knowing that, the world is a more peaceful, beautiful, safe place for me to be. And that I am grateful for. I’ve had a sense of knowing for as long as I can remember.

I discovered in the recent past that I could believe in the trustworthiness of Source, but didn't trust in myself. Oops! Finally, finally really getting down to gut level with the realization that Source is Who-I-Really-Am is such an amazingly, freeing, glorious feeling. I want it imbedded in every fiber of my being, as Abe would say! Remembering to trust every day that playing is the way is my intention for this experiment. Thanks for the opportunity and the playground. Trust has seemed to be a huge issue for me all my life.
