Wow this is a great exploration folks - it's snowballed, in a good way

I'd like to pick up on a few things that jumped out most strongly...

1. Alma you said: "We learn to trust ourselves by living through experiences that truly challenge our fixed and programmed idea(s) of who we are." - I agree entirely. Ultimately it's about learning to trust in the process that leads to the knowing of self, as aligned with the Universe. Also you said "trust has levels to it". Indeed it does! It's an incremental thing, that builds the more we commit to the process of self inquiry.

2. To the question: Is some degree of doubt good? To which Vimal you said... "Somehow i find this question surprising. I thought for a fully realized being there is NO degree of doubt!" It's about allowing a degree of doubt as to where the creative process is heading. Because since the Universe shapes in the moment, you can never be sure - for certain - exactly how the Universe will shape until it lands. So by allowing for a degree of uncertainty, means that you stay open until the moment actually lands in the way it is coming to. Holding this uncertainty, brings you to a surrendered place of flexible responsiveness - a very alert awakeness. I work to know the flow through my life up to around 95% accuracy if I possibly can. I leave the remaining 5% always open for flexible spontaneity.

3. Jen - I find your expression the most fascinating of all, and very right on, in this density especially. Yes, indeed, the lightness of higher knowing often seems to pull against the heaviness and denseness of the emotions. You said... "the lighter and the more dense are in great conflict, yet the lighter is informing and the denser is being invited to let go and come into alignment." This very much sounds to me like the infusion of higher self helping to break free of the matrix. And also from exploitative entities that can infuse within fixed and limiting lower consciousness relationships with people. When this is achieved, indeed, as you say, the mind and emotions start to fall in line with higher knowing.

What a great inquiry - keep exploring folks!
