The heart qualities
Trust
Trust is the quiet confidence that the ground will hold, that the unseen intelligence of life is for you and not against you. It is faith made personal and warm, the willingness to lean back into something larger than the anxious self. Where fear demands proof before it will rest, trust rests first and lets the proof unfold.

The mystic trusts the Beloved, the New Thought student trusts the Law, the seeker on the path trusts the inner healing intelligence that knows the way home. To trust is to release the white-knuckled grip on outcomes and to walk forward as if held, and the traditions promise that the one who walks this way is indeed held.
