My blog posts are always influenced by current events in my life. Sometimes I deliver a message during a spirit contact and know that I am to write about it, or I get a message myself, sometimes I am inspired to write and later realise that this should be the topic for the next blog post.
This month is different. It is mid-August, and I still don’t know what to write. But I trust that eventually words will come – as always. Before falling asleep, I mentally ask for help. When I do that, I usually wake up in the early hours of the next morning knowing what I am writing about. This time – nothing.
After 3 nights without inspiration but still trusting, I sat down, connected with those in the spirit realm who inspire me – among them my husband – and waited. And suddenly I became aware: It is about trust.
In mediumship, trust is important. Trust that someone from beyond is going to connect with us and trust that what we perceive from the beyond person makes sense to the recipient. This can be difficult because it often does not make any sense to the medium at all. Yet the least likely evidence is usually the best evidence.
Shattered Trust
Lack of trust in spirit realm is related to lack of trust in our own perception. The spirit plane is all around us, ready to connect with us whenever we allow it. It is the trust in ourselves that is shaken. Through socialization we have been conditioned to use the mind to check all experiences for their “reasonability.” This often makes it difficult for us to trust our subtle perception.
As I developed my trust in the spirit plane, my husband said: “When your trust is broken, build it up piece by piece, like a jigsaw puzzle. The beginning is difficult, you don’t know how to start. The further you get, the easier it gets. You’ll be almost there for quite a while, until one day you put the last piece in place – it almost falls into place by itself.”
“Your newly rebuilt trust is put to the test so that it can be strengthened – the end of one journey marks the beginning of a new one. And one day you will realize that there is only one journey after all: the journey of your soul.”
