What is Basic Trust?
- Implicit confidence in the goodness of life
- Unshakable trust in the way things are, and the way they are unfolding
- Confidence that reality is moving and supporting you on a path of continuing change, that naturally reveals who you are at your depth, and all your inner richness and power.
Why is Basic Trust so important to growth and spiritual maturity?
We exist in a dynamic universe of constant change. Aligning ourselves with the process of growth, unfoldment, and transformation demands that we continually let go of the old in order to be open for the new and fresh to manifest. The difficulty is that there is usually a very vulnerable time gap in between letting go of the old and the arrival of the new. It is at this place that Basic Trust enters supporting us to relax, not become fearful, and enjoy an attitude of positive anticipation for what will emerge – allowing us to embrace the unknown.
Losing our Basic Trust in the gap will stop our growth. We begin to distrust the movement of life. Fear emerges with an attitude of holding-on to the familiar. Trying to be safe we end up stuck in the painful experience of the old but familiar habits, patterns, and limited self images. In truth, without some degree of Basic Trust, we may never really engage in transformative work, it's too scary.
