See it when I believe it—allow the physical to catch up energetically.  I think I’ve spoken about this before and I think I’ve even mentioned my struggles with it.  I’ve always been pretty scientifically based even though I love magic and spirituality.  But it took me a long time to get there because I was always searching for a sign that my spirituality was validated.  Regardless, I needed proof that something existed.  I didn’t know how to ease my way into trust, grace, and faith.  While I was taught the basics of religion, I was never taught the concept of trusting our faith which is a vastly different task.  Faith is about the energy and the mindset while religion is about the rules—and rules can follow natural law or man’s law.  I understood law-it was tangible and visible and something we were all expected to operate from.  That was a universal understanding.  Thus the appeal of science: it was universal and a language for all of us to understand.  It wasn’t an interpretation, it was a principle.

I understand now that faith and spirituality are principles based in science as well.  Our faith and trust can be measured by our responses and actions and we can see the results in what we receive.  It’s a matter of energy.  I heard this discussion the other day and it flipped my thinking on the matter of seeing things before we believe them and it was simply this: we sometimes have to allow things time to manifest.  We are allowing things we put out energetically to catch up physically.  This is something I can get behind.  There is a delay in the sound wave reaching our ear, it doesn’t mean there is silence just because we don’t hear it immediately—someone else is hearing it, the sound exists.  Even more of a mind twist is that the interpretation of that sound is different so someone experiencing the same thing will have a different result.  This is how we end up with different stories from the same events in our lives. 

Applying such a belief to something less tangible can be challenging but the truth is our entire lives were once intangible and we brought it into existence.  The jobs, the homes, the clothes we wear, the food we eat.  All of these day to day activities are a result of decisions we make.  Nothing happened until we decided it was so and we acted on it.  The same is true for our energy.  We decide where to focus it and then we allow the physical to catch up.  My entire issue was about proof and the universe isn’t here to prove anything to us.  It is here to work with us and we are here to understand the energy and get in rhythm with it—the universe isn’t here to owe us anything—we are cocreators.  It’s ok to have faith, it’s ok to learn how to get into alignment, and it’s ok to be scared along the way. We need to practice trust both in our abilities and in the universe.  We need to practice adaptability and faith.  Trust the dance and know the path we are on will eventually yield the results.
