Basic Trust

There is this theme ‘Basic Trust’ that keeps on coming back in my experience and thoughts. When I was studying Art Therapy I learned in the Psychology class that the traditional idea is that when the Basic Trust is not established in the first 3 years of your life, you will lack this for the rest of the time you walk around on this planet. Not a very hopeful and comforting thought.

Later several directions of psycology got interested in spirituality and vice versa. I worked with Path workers inspired by Eva Periakos, got to know the Reichian breathwork and did a course in energy consiousness what in the end lead me to the Sufi’s in The swiss Alps. There I learned that in the light core inside we can also find Basic Trust. Slightly diferent from the Basic Trust from the viewpoint of the personality. Yes, there will always be a lack somehow in the ego structure of a holding quality, but that doesn’t mean we cannot live a fulfilling life.

In her book ‘The Jeweled Path’ of Karen Johnson, she clearly states that the ability to manifest our potential is dependant on how stable our upbringing was. Was there at least one parent that saw us for what we brought into life from our core light, and was there a field of holding to grow to become more who we are, it had a huge impact on our adult life.

So the point is, as things are just the way they are, that it doesn’t matter, that the most important thing is that we are alighned with our individual inner light, and so are connected with the all pervading light, where the true Basis Trust resides.
