What does it mean to trust the universe?

I recently read some books that advocate trusting the universe: If there is a problem that you are grappling with, you can just offer it to be resolved by the universe, rather than worrying about it.

I had some resistance to embracing that mindset, so in my post I am exploring why I am resisting it and what I actually do believe and want to practice.

@Manuela Pauer I commented in LI, but I'll post it here, too:

I have always been put off by the claim that the universe will solve our problems if we trust it to. The implication is that if we find ourselves in a mess, we weren't trusting enough. It's the same nonsense, it seems to me, as the law of attraction, which also blames victims of violence and systemic injustice . . .

I like the notion of co-creation, the universe being the Source of love and power and creativity that we can tap into.

Star struck!

This week I met one of my teachers in person for the first time, Dr Gabor Mate. I confess I was rather giddy with excitement and thrilled to be so close to the real person. Living in Canada, Gabor was on a book tour and yes, I got my book signed and we had a short exchange. I enjoyed the feeling of excitement and connection when we met.

I have been studying his Compassionate Inquiry approach through a series of videos for the last 12 months and recently graduated. The programme was a deep di…

I am so glad to hear you got to meet Dr. Mate, @mel pegley ! I have heard him speak virtually and find his teachings around trauma healing very helpful. And congratulations on completing his Compassionate Inquiry program!

Exploring My Resistance To Taking Myself On Artist Dates

This week I was thinking about weekly "Artist Dates" that Julia Cameron recommends in her book "The Artist's Way." These dates are simply times when you treat yourself to an experience by yourself to inspire you. They don’t have to be artistic per se, but just something you find interesting and fun. It could be going to a bookstore, attending a play or a going to the museum.

I found myself resisting artist dates. So I started to wonder why.

Do I really keep these stuff?

I was thinking to quit my commitment of Soul Gym Postings here, because my main task is to declutter the house of my parents at the moment. That means go on a discovery journey of 50 years.
And then the idea came up, what if I share my thoughts and learnings (maybe).

One thing what I start to reflect on myself is, to ask me and to check my drawer, do I really need to store these things? For example, greetings cards from 5 years ago and more?

I am on the way to change my view on this topic.

Thanks for your patience, if I post lately and also thanks for the energy support of this group.

I would love to hear more about your thoughts and learnings as you are going through this decluttering process, @Jutta Held ! I need to do some decluttering, too, and it would be helpful to hear from someone who is going through it. :-)

Embrace This Life

This is one of my favourite poems which I wrote in 2008 during a time when I was under much duress due to feeling my past wearing heavily on me. Yet, I also felt insights that this challenging time would pass and bring renewed life to my soul and mind.

Embrace this life of contradictions,

let its subterfuge sweep through the dark passages,

gathering as one the remnant guests of past and future.

Bestow upon your crown a glorious vision,

without boundaries, containing endless time.

Taste the immense spaciousness of light,

invite the glowing embers to sink deeply down,

until no meaning is found.

What a beautiful poem, @Elaine Harding ! I love the feeling of expansiveness the poem gives me after sensing the contraction in the beginning.
