Blessings and welcome to the path to freedom and today's exploration of trust.
My name is Daniel Rocchio and as always I'm deeply grateful and honored that you are choosing to join me,
That you are choosing to tune in for a moment of expanding our consciousness.
The moment of raising our vibration so that we continuously get to set ourselves free so that we continuously get to allow for forever greater and greater expressions of the moral we are to emerge.
So that we get to set ourselves free to be in ever-expanding love and joy and harmony and wholeness and all of that.
And as it has come to me recently.
.
.
So that we get to set ourselves free to be sane in this insane world that we are living in.
And at the core of all of this.
And if you've tuned in before,
You've probably heard me speak about how there are two things that we need to do.
That this,
That the freedom,
Actually,
That the freedom that we are moving toward,
That it rests on to.
Foundational pillars,
If you will.
Nerds.
First of all,
The not first of all,
But that is the important part.
Practice of presence that we allow to expand in our lives,
Where we continuously come back to the nowness of this moment,
Where we find a way to ever-increasingly and ever-expandingly anchor and center and ground ourselves in the nowness of this moment.
Or we get to witness and observe.
What is happening in our minds and what is happening in the world around us.
Without being pulled into it,
Without being hijacked by it.
And then the other pillar.
Would be.
Us coming into our greater and grander experience.
Expressions I was going to say but I meant to say was us coming into deeper realizations as the human god is.
And.
.
.
With that deepening of realizations with that deepening with those deeper realizations.
The expansion of our trust.
And the more we trust,
So what is it that we are trusting?
Well,
We are trusting.
Basically three things about God.
We are trusting that God is good.
First of all,
We're trusting that God is,
That this loving presence that That is,
That it is all that there is.
That there are no dualities,
There are no opposites,
There is only Spirit expressing itself,
Being itself,
Doing itself,
In us and through all of creation.
God is the creator and God is the creation.
We can choose to call it whatever we want to call it.
I choose to call it God or spirit or the loving presence.
But whatever we call it,
It is it.
It is all there is.
We're trusting that this loving presence is good,
That it is benevolent,
That it is always for itself,
That it is always seeking to come into a greater and grander expression of itself,
Thus eternally sourcing and fueling and funding itself,
Thus sustaining and maintaining itself,
Thus guiding and leading and moving itself in essence to all creation.
And we are trusting that this loving presence is always expressing itself perfectly.
That there are no random acts,
There are no meaningless acts,
There are no.
.
.
Coincidences.
But there is only divine and perfect order.
Holy,
Divine,
And perfect.
And when we know these,
The more we trust these,
Even in the midst of calamity,
Even in the midst of challenges and circumstances that do not seem to be favorable.
When we trust that even in this.
.
.
My mind cannot see the good that is here.
My mind cannot see the presence of God here.
So there are shootings,
There are.
.
.
Violence there's.
Natural.
Currencies,
There are so many things in our world.
That would have us move into fear and worry and doubt,
That would have us believe that this is bad.
And I'm not saying that things that are happening,
I'm not saying that people are not suffering,
I'm not saying that people are not having experiences,
I'm not saying that on the surface things are bad.
But even in the midst of that,
Which the mind would call bad,
God is still present,
And God is still good,
And God is still expressing Himself perfectly.
So in every condition,
In every circumstance,
In every challenge,
There's an invitation for us to go deeper.
Now,
We've been given the free will,
We've been given this beautiful mind,
This beautiful gift of independent thinking,
Allowing us to turn our attention toward whichever way we want to turn our attention.
And God being unconditional love does not exist.
Don't care.
Now,
I'm speaking about God as God.
As God being out there and we being down here,
But that's not the case.
We and God are one.
We are unique,
Perfect,
Whole and complete emanations and expressions of the One.
But um Even so,
Having been equipped with this beautiful mind of ours.
The freedom to make choices,
Whichever choices we want to make.
When we can choose fear.
We get to choose worry.
We get to choose doubt.
We get to choose trust.
We get to choose love.
We get to choose peace.
Drama is optional.
We get to choose too.
To turn our attention toward what we don't wish to experience.
Or we get to choose to turn our attention toward what we wish to experience.
So in a challenge.
.
.
Some of us may choose to.
.
.
You know,
Play that victim card.
Feeling very sorry for ourselves.
Feeling very stuck feeling very alone.
Or some of us may choose to look for the good in this challenge.
What good is here that I presently cannot see?
What gold is here?
What is the gift and the blessing in this particular challenge?
What is my growing edge here?
Depending on where we turn our attention,
Depending on what we're looking for.
That is what we will find so if we're looking even in the midst of Let's say a shooting.
Even in midst of that.
What is the gift and the blessing here?
What is the good that is seeking to emerge?
Well,
There is expansion of consciousness there perhaps.
A review of the laws allowing guns to be handed out to people.
Very freely,
Not in all countries,
But in some countries.
There's always an invitation for us to grow.
For us to expand,
For us to allow for more of the love that we are,
More of the joy that we are,
More of the.
.
.
Homeless that we are.
More the abundance that we are,
To love for more of these to come forth,
To emerge from within us,
There's always that invitation in every single moment.
So you know that that song by the Beatles that goes All you need is love.
And so on.
I would say all we need is trust.
Because when we trust that even in conditions that the mind cannot comprehend.
Even when we cannot see the good that is here,
Even when we cannot feel the good that is here,
We can still trust that this is good in progress.
Yes,
This is bad.
This needs to change.
Circumstances,
Systemic conditions need to change.
There are a lot of things that need to change on this planet.
There are a lot of things that need to be evolved in the human consciousness.
I'm not saying that there is not.
I'm simply saying that we get to choose what to look for.
And when we know that God is here,
That the only thing that is happening here is God,
When we know that God is good.
When we know that God is always expressing himself perfectly,
Then we get to look for that.
We get to trust that even in the midst of calamity,
Even in the midst of conditions that Give rise to something.
Our systems.
And sadness and anger and all that.
And I'm not denying these experiences.
I'm not denying these emotions.
I'm not denying these thought forms.
Not at all.
I'm just saying that even in the midst.
.
.
We get to choose the heart.
To turn our attention away from the seeming bad.
To the gift and the blessing that is here.
That is always here.
Because God cannot compromise itself.
God cannot contradict its own nature.
There you see him.
An expression,
It's an ancient expression.
That goes all roads lead to Rome.
Or roads.
Leads to God.
All paths leads to,
Not to God,
But to our conscious realization of being one with it.
To our awakening to who and what God is.
Just as nature.
Nose.
Inherently,
Instinctively knows its oneness with God.
So there is no fear in nature,
There is no worry in nature,
There is no doubt in nature,
There is no sense of lack in nature,
There is no sense of I am not enough in nature,
But all of nature knows.
It knows that it is enough.
It knows that it is eternally sourced food funding.
So there needs to be no.
.
.
There's competition.
But there needs to be no.
.
.
Egoic competition.
It needs to be no race!
Over who is better.
Over who's superior.
But there's a beautiful balance in nature,
A balance that we humans have not yet caught or actually that we have forgot.
Because we are so hijacked by our mental structures,
By our egoic structures.
Bespeaking of lack,
Bespeaking of separation,
Bespeaking of not being enough.
So we move through life.
As though life was an obstacle course and whoever gets the most,
Or who gets there the fastest,
They win.
That's not what life is about.
Life is a beautiful journey.
But we.
.
.
As humans,
As a race.
Are so hijacked.
By the fear and the worry and the doubt,
By our sense of not being.
Being one with everything.
That we believe that might gives right.
That we believe that violence is the best.
I was going to say last resort,
But that is the best resort.
That is nice.
The best response.
So weird.
We've gone amiss.
We've gone astray.
And so the invitation is for us to come back.
To the harmony that is.
To the harmony,
The wholeness,
The beauty.
You know that.
Leely on the field of consciousness.
You rely on the feel,
It doesn't spin,
It doesn't toil.
It doesn't effort,
It doesn't struggle.
It doesn't compete,
It doesn't compare.
And yet it is so beautifully provided for,
So abundantly provided for,
As is all of nature.
As is all of nature.
So we get to trust.
We get to come back to trusting.
Even here,
Even now.
God is.
Goodness is.
Perfection is.
And then move from it.
Respond from that.
Choose from that.
How can I serve?
Certainly not by violence.
Certainly not by hitting back.
But how can I serve?
How can I serve?
How can I be of service?
How can I be a beneficial presence on this planet?
What is mine to do?
In this moment.
Or what is here now.
When we dig deep enough into that question.
We come into the realization that the only thing that is happening here is God.
The only thing that is happening here is good.
From the highest vantage point.
Which will not ever be reached by our intellectual mind.
Because the mind is very finite.
It's not very finite.
It's not very finite,
It is finite.
But through meditation,
Through prayer.
Through coming into the nowness of this moment.
Through consciously choosing,
Exercising our power.
Reality.
Choose words turn our attention what to look for.
This is a profound invitation.
It requires.
.
.
And immense willingness.
A whole lot of courage.
To look for the good.
Come out from among them,
To come out from gossiping,
To come out from complaining,
To come out from bemoaning.
To come out from competing,
To come out from comparing.
Come out from giving in to the lowest common denominator.
Feel worry and doubt.
To rise above all of these.
This is our invitation.
We're all being called.
To do this work.
Not all of us are answering the call.
Not all of us are doing the actual work.
But we're all being caught.
In the planet.
Needs it now more than ever.
Humanity,
The transformation is already happening.
But we need to participate.
In that which is.
The highest possibility for humanity already exists.
The highest possibility for this planet,
For Mother Earth,
Already exists.
But we need to participate.
We need to step up.
We need to.
And when I say we,
I mean every single one of us.
Need to roll up our sleeves.
And ask ourselves the question,
How can I serve?
How can I contribute?
While giving in to fear,
Worry and doubt.
Sense of lack and scarcity.
That's not good enough anymore.
I'm holding no judgement around this.
I'm having no opinions about it,
I'm just.
.
.
Observing,
Witnessing.
That where we used to get by by fear,
We're in doubt.
Giving in to this,
Allowing ourselves to be hijacked by this,
Are no longer enough.
We need to rise above this,
If we want a midwife,
If we want a midwife.
Be the instrument,
The vehicle to which the nude.
Consciousness of humanity.
To reach a new world.
Marcus.
So that's the invitation and the question for us to ask.
Is what is mine to do?
Or how can I serve?
Or how can I be a beneficial person?
Now,
In this moment.
Because we need to trust.
We get to trust that all is well.
Something wonderful is happening,
That everything is working for the highest good.
So thank you so,
So much for tuning in,
For participating.
Until we meet again,
Much love,
Many blessings.
