Worry is something we’ve been trained to do. We watched our parents worry about bills, food, and the roof over our heads. We watched our parents worry about our own safety and so learned that we are not inherently safe and provided for.

It has been my habit to worry about money– where it will come from, what I will have to do to get it and how long it will last. This summer I earned a weekly paycheck, the first paycheck I’ve had on a regular basis in a couple years….. but the summer is drawing to a close and I realized that I would only be receiving a couple more paychecks before I was back to where I started, no reliable income.

Worry became my constant companion. I tried to convince myself that “all would be well”, a catch phrase in my spiritual practice, but something I’m still learning to really understand. After about a week of this worrying, I deposited a paycheck smaller than I had hoped it would be.  I left the bank to walk to my favorite coffee shop to use their internet to buy a plane ticket. I would spend all of the check I just deposited. Money in and out again.

But the sun was shining and I felt so happy there was no room for worry.

And I knew quite clearly, everything will be ok . I will be provided for. Just because I don’t know how doesn’t mean it wont happen. This knowing was different then my previous attempts to convince myself. I KNEW without doubt. I knew just as simply as I knew the sun was shining, as  I knew my feet were bringing me closer to something, as I knew the love in my heart was real. There was no need to try to understand it because it was just a simple clarity.

Do you try to understand if the sun is shining or not? Do you try to understand how the birds will feed themselves next month? Do you worry if the trees will photosynthesize? Of course not. It all happens because it happens. That’s called trust. But this is a trust without effort because its based on a foundation of deep knowing, deep understanding of your constant state of provision.

In that moment of truest trust, I let go of fear. What is there to fear? No thing exists that can separate you from your own innate state of perfection.  You will be provided all.

Let me tell you money is an illusion. Fear is an illusion. Safety, an illusion. The only reality is your innate worth. You ARE GOD. You are GOD pretending to be you. How can you be anything less? I tell you it’s not possible to be less then perfect. It’s time we started to recognize it.

All will be well because all IS well, already. Let yourself see it, feel it and KNOW it to be true.

Open to accept all the love and light— provision— waiting for you. It’s there, surrounding you. Open your heart and let it into your physical experience of life.

It’s amazing!
