I would like to thank you Alex for the”Speed of Trust” article may I have permission to promote your information on my site?
Alex I feel this formula is valuable when we want to consciously develop trust, but I feel we basically trust what is important to us. Unfortunately we place importance in our thinking mind and we then trust our thoughts. In combat veterans followed that frequency formula from basic training, but what was important was their life and in intense moments they trusted their life and deepest wisdom. Veterans who followed the frequency formula and lost contact with the importance of life were often killed. Vets have the highest death rate the first week of combat and their last week. Those are times where they lose connection to life and think about things like what is happening and going home. Frequency in basic training was intense; but losing the importance of their life was fatal. I feel if we focus on where we put our importance, we get a more accurate trust. If thinking is important we trust our thoughts; when life is important we trust life and the Wisdom of our Body. We have the power to take importance out of our thoughts and give it back to life. In Latin the word “redemption” means to give back to the original owner. Our importance belongs to a greater reality than our thoughts and habits. I am not talking about religion, we just have the power to be conscious and trust life and our deepest wisdom instead of trusting the creations of our mind. We create the meaning of what we think, but the Wisdom of the Body is conscious of a deeper reality all of the time and that is what we have to trust.
