Hear me out: if they are LED by their subconscious programming, by their protective reptile-brain instincts, by parasitical attachments to their life force, by a completed wrecked/bypassed nervous system...then... I would argue that there is almost nothing there TO trust.
How can you trust them when they are not actively working on embodying their true selves? When, quite possibly, they’re not even acquainted with Self? You’re trusting a program, filled with triggers that code their behavior and cause reoccurring pain pockets.
You can trust love, though. You can trust that your journey will bring you toward the people you need to meet in order to bring forth all that is hidden within you. Relationships are such a great mirror. You can trust divine timing. You can trust that if you let go, all will always be well, because what is for you will always be for you. You can trust that love will awaken others to their beautiful, radical Selves.
Radical self-responsibility looks so good on everyone.
It’s hard. And almost heart-breaking. To take full ownership of your existence and the decisions that brought you to where you are and to stop making excuses about why you did what you did and why you are where you are and WHY WHY WHY.
But radical self-responsibility is what brings you YOUR power back, your sovereignty. It’s not a matter of shaming yourself. It’s a matter of acceptance.
And it’s an absolute necessary step towards soul embodiment and subsequent true trust..
If you don’t occupy your throne, and ALL that comes with it, then something else will.
So; ask yourself: do they take radical self-responsibility for themselves?
You won’t even need to ask, really. You can feel these individual’s heart fires.
