“ Now how do we trust a Source that we can’t see or touch? Well, we can start by noticing the results that we attribute to It and tell ourselves, “Someone or Something is responsible for all of the ongoing infinite creation that I witness with my senses, and I’m going to trust in It from now on.” This is the kind of logic that I hope I’ve been conveying throughout the pages of this *book—that it’s possible to reconnect with where we came from, and where we came from isn’t physical (as our quantum scientists now inform us). But rather than using blind trust or my attempts at logic to trust in the existence and the assistance of Spirit, I suggest that we ultimately each use our own life experience for our “trust barometer.”
Most children are free-spirited little beings who don’t think about questioning their parents’ judgment. After all, mothers and fathers tend to know what’s in their offspring’s best interest, including what’s required for successful survival. These senior partners look out for their kids’ needs and direct their early life activities—and they do this as long as is necessary, which is usually until their children begin to develop the ability to trust their own instincts and apply what they’ve learned.
As adults, we can look back on our earliest days with a strong sense of appreciation: We learned not to play in traffic, to avoid eating poisonous foods, to get enough rest each day, and so on. Today we feel thankful and appreciative that our parents were there to guide us toward the responsible, self-contained people we are now—we can appreciate that they did what was best for us, and they never forgot us.
I trust that the analogy is clear: Our relationship with God, our All-Knowing, Never-Forgetting Senior Partner, is just like our childhood relationship with our parents. Just as we did with our mothers and fathers, we’re now choosing to trust in the wisdom of our Creator. In other words, we don’t need to be told by virtual parents what’s best for us, and we don’t have to rely on so-called religious superiors to keep us in line because we’re no longer needy little infants. We now trust our Source because we’ve matured to a point where doubt has been supplanted by faith. Somewhere between childhood and maturity, we surrendered and trusted our parents, just as we’re now surrendering and trusting the All-Knowing, Loving Source of Creation.
When we finally “get” that our Source is all-knowing, we can approach the act of spiritual communication from an entirely egoless perspective. Our discourse must begin with a recognition that it’s impossible for us to be ignored. We can link up to all-knowingness by thinking like God—that is, by being an energetic match in our thoughts and actions, by being grateful, and by thinking of others and offering them what we desire.
Since we know that when we ask, it is given, we must next ask God for what we want. I’m not implying that we should beg, or think that we’ve been overlooked, but rather ask in a way that takes the form of a vibrational shift in energy. So we’d request to be an instrument of God’s abundance, for instance, instead of pleading for cash. We’d simply match what we want with the All Encompassing Abundance that is our Spiritual Source.
Note that any and everything that keeps us from appreciating our Spiritual Source is an impediment. This particularly includes relying on someone else or some organization without examining the truths that they insist we believe. While this may come as a surprise, Jesus wasn’t a Christian, Buddha wasn’t a Buddhist, and Mohammed wasn’t a Muslim. These were Divine spiritual beings who came here as emissaries of truth… yet when their truths were organized, we saw the horrors of inquisitions, mass murders, crusades, holy wars, and jihads, all in the name of “God.” Those who claim to represent these Divine beings of truth frequently do so from a decidedly nonspiritual perspective. When an organization includes some, yet excludes others, they’re announcing that they’re not actually preaching or teaching truth. Since God excludes no one, any religious organization that does, isn’t affiliated with Him. God is all-knowing. No one else is, unless they experience pure God-realization… and those beings who have ever lived among us belong to a very small club. No one else can intervene for us in our efforts.
No one else can intervene for us in our efforts to commune with our Source of Being. We shouldn’t rely on organizations, gurus, rituals, temples, or any other outside sources as the means to make conscious contact with God. Instead, we must approach the All-Knowing Source in silent communion, and be willing to listen and receive guidance. We must speak in words of our own choosing with statements that tell God: “I know that You are all-knowing and could never forget me. I desire to align with Your all-knowingness, to have the faith that I can attract into my life all the goodness, peace, and abundance that You are. I will stay in this place of trust, for I am here to serve. I am grateful for all that You are, and all that You allow me to be. ”
