Trust As the Answer to All Problems

Trust is the answer to all acim perceptual problems; it brings us the experience of present peace.

When we let go of trying to manage or control the things of time and space, and devote our mind totally to miracles, then we are in the experience that Jesus takes care of everything. He handles all the details of our lives.

Deep down, we all want to come into an experience where we say, "Wow, that's easy. I just have to be joyful and peaceful and shine my light, and Jesus takes care of all the rest!"

This is Jesus’ promise to us!

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Now, how do we come into this consistent experience of peace and trust?

You can start the day by deciding not to make any decisions, not to try to understand anything. “But what am I focusing on?” You are focusing on the Holy Spirit's guidance now, without understanding what this guidance is for or what it is trying to resolve—it is a work of trust, and in that experience we realize that is the correction for all seeming problems.

These kinds of experiences give us much faith to say, 

“I actually can bypass all problems, which are all my wrong beliefs, all the things that I think still need healing, absolutely all the problems in the perception world; I can bypass all of it because they are the past.”

The more you rely on present trust, the more you can be in a state of relaxation. When you are looking at the past, you are not looking within. So, we can bypass all of it and just think, I trust You so much; You give me the correction today and in this moment, and that is what I'm going for.

Will you rely on your past learning to guide you, or will you trust in the Holy Spirit in this very moment?

How Do We Overcome Fear?

Love is what we are, and love cannot be destroyed; to know fully who we are will cast out fear.

Returning to Love often requires mind training, which slowly but surely draws our mind’s energy away from the ego, as this thought system is highly addictive when believed in. True forgiveness of the perceptual dream is realized through emptying our mind from all that it thinks it thinks and thinks it knows, to overcome its belief in the “I know” mind. Our real Mind holds only what we think with God, which is pure knowledge of our nature as Love and Light. Any unloving thoughts, which contradict our true nature, stem from the false belief that the perceptual dream is real; that we are merely the body, and that the five senses are a valid test in determining what reality is. Forgiving these thoughts and perceptions can be accomplished by observing them with the Holy Spirit, a gift given to us by God to guide us home.

What does perfect love cast out fear mean?

Fear, as intense as it can feel, is not real. It’s best thought of as an acronym, F.E.A.R. i.e. false evidence appearing real. The falsity of fear comes from the decision to experience the universe through the five senses. This lends itself to the perception of an unreal physical world which veils the Truth. Because our true nature is abstract Love and Light, experiencing physicality creates the illusion that our Reality, the Reality that God created, has somehow been altered. This is the belief in the ego, or the belief in separation from God. It grips the mind in fear, or oftentimes, terror. The body, which is the star of the show in the perceptual dream, is key to this altered state of mind from Heaven to hell, from safety to danger, and from oneness to separation.
