Trusting God as Our Inner Source
by

We see “In God We Trust”
on every dollar bill. It is amazing what some people will do for the
“proverbial buck”. Some will lie, cheat, steal or sell
drugs. Others will pollute the environment, endanger lives, make ineffective
or defective products and then make false claims about their reliability.
We live in a world where business and industry often put creativity,
morality, humanity, and integrity below the proverbial bottom line.
For some, the main objective seems to be to accumulate money at any
cost. To look around, it would certainly seem that money makes the
world go round. If that is the case then we are in danger of spinning
out of control, because money in and of itself can never take us where
we truly desire to go. We must keep alive the conviction that the
achievement of human happiness and fulfillment is dependent upon higher
spiritual powers, powers that enable us to believe that peace is possible.
The scriptures tell us that the love of money is the root of all evil.
It is not the money, but the love of money that is at the root of
the problem. Money is neither good nor bad. It is what money means
to us that motivates our positive or negative responses. Oddly enough
evil is the verb live spelled backwards. Evil is the deadness we feel
when we forget the Truth of who we are. If we think about it, our
focus on money not only can prevent us from moving forward, it often
keeps us living in reverse.
As Americans we have responded to a call to build peace through trust.
We realize that there are many definitions of trust. Therefore we
must first break down the walls of mistrust. We must acknowledge the
manifold causes of mistrust that beset us as individuals, as people,
even religions. When we ask what creates fear in others, we sometimes
forget that fears of others may stem from our insecurities and fears,
our greed and selfishness, our striving for power and possession,
our arrogance and ignorance.
Truth is not an intellectual concept. Truth is an emotional energy,
a vibrational communication to consciousness, to soul/spirit. Truth
is an emotion, something we feel within. It is the feeling of something
resonating within ... a feeling of right or wrong.
We connect to this energy because the universe is one complete whole.
Schools do not teach us about these things. The happiness that we
desire and the suffering we shun are not random but rather come about
through causes and conditions. Because of your formal training you
have likely adopted a skeptical attitude towards spirituality. In
order to participate in the high drama of miracle making and real
magic, you must believe in your spiritual self, which has absolutely
nothing to do with your religious affiliation.
Becoming a spiritual being involves forgetting about your five senses
and developing a calm sense of trust in that which you know permeates
you but which you can never prove with logic or our current measuring
devices. We learn to rely on the energy or chemistry that we feel.
Like first impressions when we meet someone, we can feel a trust and
a comfort with that person. We can trust God as our Source rather
than the world.
When we focus on the world and believe that it is the source of our
supply, we are controlled by the world. We become the captives of
the person or place that we believe holds the key to our monetary
comfort and security. We turn away from our True Source.
We are all employees of the kingdom of heaven. All that is required
of us is to be our authentic, God-created self. If we want the universal
bonus plan or if we want a promotion to higher levels of consciousness,
we must let the presence of spirit bless our inner self. The spiritual
truth is supplied in unlimited ways. The awakening of the unbounded
one within us will awaken panoramas all around us. The possibilities
change as we do.
Albert Einstein explained that a problem could not be solved at the
level of the problem. Trust the process to remind you to enter the
mystery of instinct and the metamorphosis of an inspired life. No
amount of money can buy you peace of mind. A sense of security is
not tied to external circumstances or predictable tomorrow, but to
the love in your heart and the trust you have in each moment. The
more faith we have with the mystical realms, the more ease we have.
Trust your instincts instead of your conditioning, value self respect
more than self-importance.
The growing in spirit is like a flower. At first there is a little
shoot, which grows into a larger plant with leaves and finally a flowering
bud. In order for this plant to reach its goal, which is a flower,
it must be patient in the process. Seedlings needs nurturing and watering.
We have the light of God within. God has planned the spiritual growth
of each of us and it is the acceptance of who we are. Unlike the flower,
our growth potential is unlimited. It is the opening of ourselves
to faith and trust. God is our source and “In God We Trust”.
