Basic trust is a term used by A.H. Almaas. It manifests as the willingness to leap into the unknown. Basic trust is different than our ordinary sense of trust that is dependent on external circumstances. It is an implicit trust that reality is ultimately good, that the universe will take care of us, that everything is OK and that what is optimal will happen. Almost no one has this basic trust--though some have more of a taste of it than others. One definition for enlightenment could be perfect basic trust. All activities of ego are evidence of a lack of perfect basic trust, a sense that we have to strategize and manipulate to get our needs met. The solution is not to strive for it, which can be just another form of the striving that is constantly manifesting in life. The paradigm of cause and effect and that we are the author of our choices and actions is an illusion from the perspective of nonduality, which can be considered as the "independent co-arising of phenomena" in Buddhism. The (theistic or non-theistic) view that all phenomena arises interdependently, that everything is being done regardless of us, can be comforting or threatening depending on whether we are trying to preserve our identity as a separate doer. So what is the role of personal responsibility? How can all the apparently horrible things that happen in the world be reconciled with basic trust? Who is it in us that can be trusted? Some statements from great spiritual masters on trusting God or the totality are considered. Peter was the drummer for the Western Baul rock band, Liars, Gods, and Beggars from 1988 to 1994. He is a spiritual practitioner who has followed the nondual path and rhythm of life in Alaska and Idaho as a nurse and a musician.
The psychologist Erik Erikson is probably most famous for his 8 stages of human development. The first one occurs in infancy: trust versus mistrust. Since it is foundational, occurring so early in our lives, it commonly presents a challenge for those of us who have wounds going back to infancy. Let's go on a healing journey together- to our first chakra- as we open to the concept of basic trust.
The first and most important stage in our development as human beings is BASIC TRUST. We need to feel that the world around us is basically out to do us good. Our environment is one which provides secutity and care. Jesus tells us that the journey of everyday life is never traveled alone. God, our loving Father, is with us and FOR us every moment. We can trust God without hesitation in all things for God is forever faithful to His promises. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fr-william-maestri-overfed-and-undernourished/support
The world can often feel chaotic or scary, the future uncertain. We manage these challenges by anchoring into basic trust. Join Shakti as she defines what basic trust is and why some of us never had it. She will provide ways to re-establish trust in your life and then support you in having an even greater experience of trust (in God/Source) which is your innate right and inheritance.
Being able to stay centered within uncertainty in normal times is challenging, but pile on all of the intensity happening right now that is igniting fear and chaos within and around us, and even the most seasoned yogini would fret, freeze, flail or fragment. Turn off the chatter outside and inside, and come to this session of Feminine Power Time, to exhale, BREATHE, and tune into a deeper wisdom, thought shifting perspectives and practical practices to put into place to meet the uncertainty and step powerfully into the unknown. In part 2 of our Lighten Your Load Series "Handling the Uncertainty and the Unknown" we will dive into: Getting clear on how much training you've actually had for dealing with the current levels of uncertainty How we strengthen our 'super power for being with and stepping into the unknown" - like re-imprinting Basic Trust, re-leasing Primal Fear, and Seeing Different Levels of Reality (yes, we are going to put our wise woman / being glasses on) How to create structure within the chaos that don't have you holding your breath ... you can't hold your breath til XYZ is over or some event passes And More. Tune in. It is very intense right now. And this intensity as been building for years, maybe thousands. We'll talk about time and where we are as a culture as we start this session. I'm here. We are in the midst of a massive transformation. How we walk through this is what matters. Sacred transformation - we are devoted to the change, awake and aware at a collective and individual level, not spiritually bypassing or staying stuck in the mass consciouness of the material world. There is wisdom. There are tools. Together, we can and will heal, stabilize and lead the way to the new. See you there. Much love, Christine *** More resources and ways to connect and go deeper 1.

Can you imagine what we could learn if scientists could examine the DNA of Jesus Christ? Ken and Paul explore how Jesus' genetic and emotional life were shaped in the womb of Mary and even before his conception, which in theological terms we call the incarnation. Perhaps, the bigger question is what does this have to do with our own ability to form a secure attachment with God in order to see ourselves as sons and daughters of God?

Basic Trust entwickelt sich über 3 Dinge: Ich glaub' an dich! Du schaffst das! Und du bist nicht allein!
This week is a flashback Tuesday! This episode, titled The Implications of Basic Trust, originally aired in September of 2018. We both remember this conversation as the beginning of what felt like a big shift for each of us, the kind of epiphany that seems so obvious, but is in fact quite huge: that we can trust this life. Even when it’s agony. Even when it’s joy. Even when it’s boring... By the time this began to be a real lived experience for us, we had sat with the phrase “trust your life” for at least a couple of years. So it was fun to listen back and note that understanding things and experiencing things are really different. It was also maybe the first time that we mentioned what felt like a side project at the time: connecting the dots between nervous system states and awakening. Something that now feels very front and center to our mission, and is something you have heard a lot about in the last few episodes.
Jesus spoke more about money than love, peace, or heaven. He knows the tendency of our hearts to get consumed with worry and to be deceived by trusting in money.

Inspired by the teachings of AH Almaas, today we’re discussing a concept he calls Basic Trust. Basic trust is the implicit sense that we are connected, safe, held and supported by life. What fascinated us the most about this concept is the revelation that when Basic trust gets ruptured spiritual aspirations such as surrender, acceptance or letting go can feel out of reach or effortful. Also, how much or how little basic trust you have can affect the quality and experience of your spiritual awakening. In this conversation we explore our experiences and perspectives on basic trust as well as Almaas’s definition, including how it is fed, how it is ruptured, and ultimately how we can go about healing.
Basic Trust - Part 1 - One of the expressions of an awakened heart-mind is a basic trust in reality. These talks explore the severed belonging that gives rise to mistrust, and two primary pathways to realizing and trusting the indivisible field of loving awareness that is our source. (a favorite from the archives) “To love without holding back – to really sense with the wisdom, the reality, that it’s right here – to live from wholeness. We have this capacity.” “Who would you be if you trusted the basic goodness and beauty is living through you? How would your life be different if you trusted that spirit, love, awareness is what you are?”
Robert shares his experience of writing with Louise Hay their new book Life Loves You. The words, life loves you, make up one of Louise Hay’s best-loved affirmations. They also represent a fundamental philosophy – called Basic Trust by psychologists – that is the basis for genuine self-love, for spiritual healing, and real abundance. Basic trust states, life doesn’t just happen to you; it happens for you. It states that all manner of help and inspiration will rush to your side when you make authentic choices, commit to healing, and follow your joy. It is the key to healing your life and being more of who you really are. Robert Holden’s work on psychology and spirituality has been featured on Oprah, Good Morning America, a PBS special Shift Happens!, and in two major BBC-TV documentaries called The Happiness Formula and How to Be Happy, shown in 20 countries to over 30 million television viewers. His corporate clients include Dove and The Real Beauty Campaign. He is author of Shift Happens!, Authentic Success (formerly titled Success Intelligence), Be Happy, Loveability and Holy Shift! Robert hosts a weekly show on Hay House Radio called Shift Happens!

The first step in spiritual awakening is becoming aware of our ego structure -- actually perceiving the particular beliefs and images that we have identified with and taken to be true -- then dissolving that, letting go of that part of one's identity. --- Doug Sensei teaches on the enneagram, drawing from this source:Facets of Unity: The Enneagram of Holy Ideas by A.H. Almaas, 1998; Chapter 4, Basic TrustSearch inside:http://books.google.com/books/about/Facets_of_Unity.html?id=gdTz5Mt0WtgC&redir_esc=yExtended paraphrase: The ego is a psychic structure that is based on crystallized beliefs about who we are and what the world is. We experience ourselves and the world through the filter of this structure. Spiritual awakening involves connecting with those dimensions of experience obscured by ego structure.The first step is becoming aware -- actually perceiving the particular beliefs and images that we have identified with and taken to be true -- then dissolving that facet of the ego structure. This means letting go of part of one's identity, which can be painful or frightening because the old sense of your identity crumbles and you don't know what will take its place. Letting go of what has felt real feels like jumping into an abyss.The jumping can be easy or difficult depending on the presence of "basic trust" -- the sense that whatever happens will ultimately be fine. The ego's perspective arises out of a lack of this trust. It is based on distrust, paranoia, and fear that the universe will not take care of you in the ways that you need. Basic trust is a confidence that the universe and human nature is fundamentally good and loving, that life is fundamentally benevolent. It will help you take that plunge. You don't need assurances that things are going to be okay because you implicitly know things are going to be okay. Basic trust gives you the capacity and willingness to let go of the identifications, beliefs and concepts -- remnants of the past -- that make up the ego.If you don't have basic trust, you will react to what arises in accordance with your conditioning and will want things to go one way or another, rather than to just be, without reacting, which is allowing the ego to die. The more that basic trust is present, the more smoothly the process of realization and transformation can proceed. If we lack basic trust, it is important to develop it. With basic trust, our lives have a sense of freedom. The desire to know where things are going arises out of simple curiosity rather than a desire to control the unfoldment. Tension and stress from constantly struggling and fighting with our reality become relaxed into a sense of peace that allows a spontaneous and natural unfoldment of one's being. A new outlook emerges, allowing us to see that whatever happens is right even if it's painful. Things that we had thought were bad turn out not to be bad. http://www.planetdharma.com/
