Trust the timing of your life

The physical aspects, and the related psychological aspects are so complex by themselves, and in their interactions, that you will never understand more than a smidgeon. Be at peace with that, and do your conscientious best. Life has been on this planet for about 3.5 billion years, and it seems aspects of it were brought by comets. So, your trust is irrelevant. Your fear is irrelevant. Your best efforts at optimizing can add a little to the value of it.

To trust or not to trust. Life is much about experience, so it boils down to the fact that you will either resist or accept the experiences life brings. Fact is, they will come anyway. Like a surfer, a wave is something to get excited about, because he chose to ride it., as opposed to one who has fear, and gets bashed about.

We have no choice but to accept life. As rough as life gets and as hopeless as it may seem at times we subconsciously never lose trust in the process of life. Unfortunately those who don’t, take measures into their own hand and subsequently hurt themselves and the people who really cared about them unintentionally. Needless to say, I still somehow trust in the process of life. Synonymous with “Go with the flow”, “Trust in God”, “Listen to your inner guide/higher self/moral compass.

Don’t over-think everything. If you do, you will lose track of your gut level emotional feelings, the ones that speak to you on a subconscious and bodily level that you have not even begun to articulate yet, but, seem right to you and most often are. Enlightenment is an experience. When the light comes on, you realize the truth. Realization cannot be achieved by reading books. You may have all the knowledge in the world, but you may not experience enlightenment.

Enlightenment is a state of being, it's an awareness, it's when we are awakened to our reality that we are not this body, we are not the mind, we are the Divine Soul. This cannot be studied, it has to be felt, it has to be realized. We human beings are enveloped by ignorance. The darkness of ignorance makes us blind, spiritually blind. We have to open our real eyes. Therefore, to be truly enlightened, one becomes aware, one becomes witness to the truth, one becomes the observer of this drama called life.

Perhaps the kindest response to that is to point out that other people are no more trustworthy than you are, mainly because they are constantly changing and are not just one person, but rather lots of different people; some are those people you can trust while they are there,but they will soon be replaced by somebody completely untrustworthy. Once you become accustomed to all the different people in yourself and in other people also, you won’t really need to go to the cinema.

I know that appears to be a rather strange idea to you, but if you watch yourself carefully and persistently you will see that it is perfectly true; each different situation calls up a different chap and sooner or later as you get older you will get to know them. The hows and whys of all that is a matter of considerable and extended study, and as you get to be more familiar with yourself as a whole, and realise that you are no different from anyone else, all these things won’t appear to be quite as confusing as they appear to be right now.

If little betrayals teach you valuable lessons then thank the man that betrayed you, because he has done you a favour; you can go through your life eyes wide open or eyes tight shut – you choose. So the short point is that it is generally unwise to expect others to keep a confidence and not betray you, because they don’t have any choice in the matter; would you trust you? – I certainly wouldn’t trust me. If you can ever find somebody that isn’t constantly changeable – and they are one in 100 billion trillion, then by all means trust them if, and only if they have proven to you that they are trustworthy, but if not, be extremely careful with what you trust with others.

Always remember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It is much wiser to expect people to be worse – which can only mean less likeable, than you would wish them to be;they have good intentions also. All in all it is the better part of wisdom to be cynical and sceptical about human beings; as cynical and sceptical as you would be about yourself, because that cherished picture of yourself hidden up in your attic somewhere – rather like a picture of Dorian Gray, isn’t exactly the rather charming chap that you imagine it is, is it?So have pity on others, they have no more choice than you do.

Like it or not it is simply not possible to go through life with your gloves up like a boxer defending himself, because from time to time you simply have to trust some people – for example the bus driver of the bus in which you are travelling, or a pilot, or whoever is driving whatever car in which you find yourself. But with matters personal and rather cherished never trust a living soul. That’s just common sense isn’t it? But don’t whatever you do try to turn it(sensible mistrust) into some sort of art form – that is just idiotic. Cheers!
