Absolute Trust as an Attitude
Absolute Trust as an Attitude
By Steve Beckow

The mind of absolute trust is not “trust in” someone or something. Well, it is. Trust in God and God’s Plan.
However, I need to make it clear that I’m not advocating absolute trust in, say, a person or even a cause. Absolute trust, as far as I’m concerned, would only be appropriate, say, for the Divine Mother or perhaps our archangel … and twin flame … and guides and….
I don’t know. But I think it’d be inappropriate to talk about having absolute trust in a person; our relationships in the Fourth Dimension are not at the level of purity, in my opinion, that would warrant giving absolute trust to any person or cause. And I may be wrong.
***That having been said, cultivating the attitude of trust, with vigilance, and spreading that trust further and further out cannot but take us down a very rewarding road.
The attitude of deep – if not absolute – trust is liberating. It results in inner peace.
The challenge is to maintain it in society when there are so many interruptions and distractions.
I have to keep returning to trust again and again, which I guess is the discipline.
***A day later
I’m fully back in my everyday space. No traces of the experience any longer. Michael once described this process:
Archangel Michael: What you have seen is that you have been given bite-sized pieces of energy, of energy bumps, of input of what you can digest and handle and truly bring to fruition. If you are in the process of expansion, you don’t go from Grade 3 to a PhD in a week. (1)
And on another occasion:
Archangel Michael: You have experienced progressively, periods of unity, of transformative love, of ecstasy, of bliss that you feel (and I emphasize feel) come and go.
But every time, you have had this experience it has edged you up a level. So that now you say to me, “Michael, I feel like I have a new baseline. I have a new foundation of happiness.”
But you also have a new foundation of knowingness, of understanding, of wisdom, of humility, of tolerance, of kindness. This has all been bringing you to an expanded sense of self and an expanded sense of not only how we operate but how the collective operates. (2)
This expansion in the sense of self is what enables me (or you) to consider taking on larger challenges.
Apparently the Higher Self determines when awakening will occur. (3) But, depending on our soul contract or mission, the Company of Heaven – the Divine Mother, our archangel, and our guides – will work with us to accomplish it, exactly as you’ve seen them work with me over the years. (4)
I’ve been given experiences which have increased my peacefulness, patience, willingness to give and serve, ability to love, etc. An experience of the qualities I’d need to do the rather large job Michael has mapped out for me has usually been given to me beforehand.
Not like I’d have guessed that this would be the way it would happen. But looking back, it makes sense. Michael has always said, you’ll have what you need when you need it. (5) I’m now getting more of a sense of what he meant and how that may work.
Archangel Michael: Stay still. Stay still, receive, listen and proceed as the Warrior you are.
And when I say to the team, “Proceed as the Warriors you are and know that I am protecting you,” is it a walk of faith, of trust, of hope? Yes. And is that exactly what your planet and your collective need right now? Yes? (6)
What’s happening in the outside world while I’m making sense of the inner?

The Attitude of Gratitude
The Attitude of Gratitude
By Neale Donald Walsch
Posted on October 22, 2023
Each morning when I awaken I try to remember to say a little prayer. It is the same prayer that I have been saying to myself for many years now.
Thank you, God, for another day, and another chance to be my Highest Self. Thank you for this life and for the wonder of this moment. Thank you for everything that has ever happened to me, is happening now, and ever will happen. For all of it has produced the perfection of this next breath, and the glory of Who I Am now going to be. Amen, and amen.
It is good for me to begin each day with gratitude. And then, as I get into the shower, I break into song. Usually, Everything’s Goin’ My Way, which is, I believe, from the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Oklahoma! The lyrics are…
Oh, what a beautiful morning!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
I’ve got a wonderful feeling
everything’s goin’ my way…
Oh, what a beautiful day!
Then, when I get to the mirror to shave and comb my hair, I smile. That’s right, I throw a big smile at myself! Do know that you are physically unable to hold onto negative energy of any kind if you smile? Smiling disintegrates it. Do you know it’s impossible to remain grouchy if you sing? Singing disallows it! Do you know that you cannot express true anger when you are expressing true gratitude? The two are mutually exclusive.
Use this simple little formula and you will start off every day with a mindset that will change what occurs in the hours that follow. This is important to understand. What you experience in your life is a direct result of the energy you call in.
Here’s something else I try to do each morning that has profoundly affected my quality of life. I try to read or write something sacred and holy. Something meaningful and important. Something soft and warm and wonderful. Something about God and Life and Love, and how to experience all three at just the highest level ever. Then I put down my reading or writing and I take a moment to quietly forgive. I forgive everybody for everything. And I include myself in that forgiveness circle.
This is my five-step formula for opening each day:
- Gratitude
- Song
- Smile
- Sacred Nourishment
- Forgiveness
Not necessarily in that order. But touch all five if you can. If you do, I dare you to walk out of the bedroom in a dark space or a bad mood or in a grumpy state of mind. Dare you, dare you, double dare you! You can’t! You won’t! It’s impossible!
Now I want you to do two more things and your relationship with your Significant Other will become once again the territory for bliss and growth and love abounding that it was at the beginning and was meant to be always.
- Think of your Beloved Other, whoever is closest to you right now, and prepare a present for that person in your heart and mind, offering it to him or her before the day is out. One every day.
- Close each day with a recital to your Beloved: “What I am grateful to you for this day…”, and offer a verbal list of those items, describing each in detail.
Now I want you to do three final things each day and your whole life will change, not just your morning or your relationship.
- Move through your day knowing that you walk with God and that God walks with you, and that another human being is going to be coming to you this day for whom you will have a gift in your hands. You do not know what that gift is right now, but it doesn’t matter. You will know when God brings that person to you.
- Do something courageous and outrageous in the next 12 hours, and do one courageous/outrageous thing every day. Then reach out and get whatever life has to offer this day. Take it with gusto, for it is your gift from life!
- Be good to yourself this evening. Give yourself some small treat, whatever it may be, and pamper yourself in this way, saying “thanks” to you and to God for the wonderful experience of living fully this day.
This is my Ten Step Method for Achieving Daily Happiness. I don’t worry about setting long range goals or meeting daily objectives or driving projects forward and using my time wisely or any of those things we hear about from motivational speakers and success trainers. I just use Gratitude, Giving, Getting, and God – the Four G’s – as my pathway to fulfillment and joy, and they take me there every time.
With Pure Love,
Neale

Be Grateful No Matter What
Be Grateful No Matter What
Message from Archangel Gabriel
Channel: Shanta Gabriel
Posted on July 23, 2023
The Gabriel Message Card for this week...
Be Grateful for All That You Have and All That You Are
With all that is going on in the world and in our lives, it is easy to get disgruntled. Sometimes it is easier to let our thoughts go into the negative channels, where we seem to have a habitual groove, and ruminate on how bad things seem to be.
It takes discipline and effort to switch to a different channel where we can look from a higher perspective with more gratitude. When we do this, it can take us directly into our hearts, and then from our heart's intelligence we are able to create from a more resourceful place.
Gratitude is the attitude that gives us the inspiration we need so we can feel more love and appreciation for our lives. That is because Gratitude is a powerful energy surge that raises our vibrational frequencies to the level where we can see beyond the immediate appearance of disharmony to the truth of the dynamic force of the Divine working in our lives.
This expansive presence of Pure Potential can work with us to create a life that is more in keeping with what we want to experience. It responds to our thoughts and feelings directly. In the new energy system in which we are living, we have clear choices about how we want to live. At this time of heightened energy frequencies, we have been given a blank slate where we can formulate our lives. We do this by asking the Universe to work through us so we can be in alignment with the highest wisdom of our Soul. Though this may sound simple, because of our habitual ways of thinking, it takes an extreme focus of attention on what we truly want to experience instead of what we don't like about ourselves and the lives we are living.
Our focus of attention is a powerful tool, simple but not easy; empowering or disabling, according to the magnetic energy we are projecting into the fields around us. Physics tells us that we have a field of unlimited potential waiting for us to seed our futures. The magnetic energy of our thoughts and feelings is the seed that creates attraction to a different experience. That is why keeping our energy frequencies as uplifted as possible makes such a difference in what we are experiencing in life.
When there is nothing else we can think of to do, being grateful can be the key that turns the tides of our feelings into the channels of new life and Wellbeing. It is an amazing and powerful tool just waiting for us to put it into action. With this simple tool you can transform your world as you become more grateful for all that you already have in your life and what is being offered to you from All That Is.
Consider how fortunate you truly are, how much Beauty there is in the world, and open up to new feelings of Gratitude and Wellbeing. Just like a dial on a radio, changing the channel to the one that beams out Harmony, Joy and Love will gift you with a totally new perspective. Then naturally your energy field will radiate more of those higher frequencies, which will magnetize positive energy to you so your life will begin to make some big changes. That is just the way it works.

Divine Presence,
Shanta GabrielThank you for this life I have been given in which to explore, grow and share my gifts. Please work through every aspect of my life today, bless all that I do and say. Help me to be a blessing in every way.
Thank you for assisting me to see the Beauty all around me and receive the Grace that is being offered to me at this time. May I bring my Soul’s gifts into my physical reality and use them to be a greater blessing to the world.
Thank you for empowering the Love in my heart to shine into every area of my life and bring it into greater alignment with the highest wisdom of my Soul, now and always. Thank you God, and so it is.
