I am a betting man. I bet on Love every time. It's the only wager that is impossible to lose. I would wager that there is not a single embodied soul that has not stood on the precipice of an identical landmark choice. Unfortunately, for too many souls, the negative energy loop of the Fear Based Traumatic Stress Disorder holds them captive for years, even lifetimes before they realized the simple Changeless Choice which grants them Eternal Freedom.
You poised the question,"Anyone else been there?" Yes I have been there. You also described yourself as being 'irrationally' stressed. You were prompted to Trust Seneca, the power within you, the Highter Power, the Wizard, the Shepard, Creator, Creation, God. You realized that Surrender is not giving up, it is not quitting, it is letting go of fear and replacing fear with Loving-Trust. You realized there are only two energies: Fear or Love. Indeed being trapped in the loop of fear can appear so very difficult to break free from; but in Truth, it is an obviously apparent choice to choose Love. Like you, when I found myself on the precipice of this landmark crossroads, I too was prompted to make the obvious rational choice. You disavowed Fear, calling it irrational stress. I too disavowed Fear, calling it ludicrous; in order to capturer the laughable absurdity of any other choice.
Mmmm "Surrender is not giving up, it is not quitting, it is letting go of fear and replacing fear with Loving-Trust." -So good, Duke, thank you! It's cool you could relate to being on the precipice at a time in your own life. It's a beautiful thing to be able to share and look back together and laugh from a place of freedom. These are simple choices to make, yet sometimes the most difficult.
Trust is hard for me too- trusting people, after not being heard, trusting situations, outcomes, after having lived through dire times insurmountable hurdles. I turned my trust inward to myself- trust had to begin within, and then to attempt to trust the universe again. Reiki, yoga, nature, my faith, love all helped me. The power of being present helps. I still struggle with trust here on the earth plane-its a work in progress. I do feel spirit, & deceased loved ones help me each day and pull me up. When I had Covid and high fevers this past January- I surrendered to trusting I would get to the other side. I had breathing issues too. I had a vision of floating on my back in water and being held up by my passed away female loved ones in Heaven. I reimagined this by conjuring it back up each time intense covid discomfort set back in . I gave my my trust to my angels- and slowly got better. Thanks for reminding me. I will conjure this up again since the lesson needs relearning over and over. 🌈
I'm with you Susan. Trust is something I am always learning in new stages. Thank you for sharing a bit of your experience and what has helped you. What you share helps me too. <3
I don't think there's any better imagery than a wheelbarrow on a tightrope over a canyon. Trust trust trust!
What a perfect fit of a song as an end and a segue.. also want to say that I really resonate with this " being the way through is not only possible, it is who I am. I am my way to everything I seek."
Yes, Claire! Trust has been difficult lately. Writing this helped me move through the discomfort. It's so special that you connected with it! Thank you for being here <3

Thank you for sharing our shared 'ABURDITY.'
