If you don’t like the word ‘God,’ you can simply say: Trust Life. Trust the moment exactly as it appears. Trust the very essence of Life. Some call this essence ‘God.’ It doesn’t really matter what word you use. The important thing is the trust. The faith. The conviction that Life is fundamentally Good and is guiding us to where we need to go. Surrender to whatever is occurring—the joys and the pains, the sky and the swamp, all of it. Finding the gift in all of life’s inevitable ebbs and flows. Trust in life is your best friend and greatest ally on this rollercoaster of existence. One way to deepen in trust is… Notice that life is already trusting itself. Life is spontaneously doing itself. We are controlling far less than we commonly realize. In each nanosecond, BANG!, the moment appears, and it’s already done, before we can even have a thought about it. Life lives itself. Life is free-falling through itself. And it does not resist itself. It simply always flows. Each moment seamlessly melting into the next moment. Notice that you are nothing other than Life itself. Life is dancing itself through you, around you, within you. Let Life go. Let Life move. Allow Life to simply do its thing. No need to judge, no need to interfere. Let it flow. This is the essence of an advanced level of Trust. At Apotheosis, we learn how to Trust Life. When it comes to trusting Life, psychedelic medicine work is one of the ultimate teachers. When you are being swept away by an ancient, primordial plant intelligence… There’s absolutely nothing to do but let go and trust the process. Surrender to Life. And through that surrendering, discover that Life can be trusted. Until my first few Ayahuasca journeys, I had no idea how much resistance and distrust I was holding in my body. This goes so deep that words cannot really capture it at all. When the medicine helped me purge a great deal of that resistance, it was like being reborn. I suddenly felt at Home in a Divine Cosmos—embraced in the Loving Arms of God—in a profound way. This was one of the most significant paradigm shifts of my life. It changed everything. Apotheosis is one giant act of trust. [You apply]( you have a call with us, you take the leap, you buy a plane ticket, you fly to Mexico, you venture into the jungle, and you surrender to a week-long process filled with new and wondrous experiences. It’s a true initiation into Trusting Life. And we love that. On the other side of our fear and resistance, is everything miraculous that God has in store for us. Before we can get there, it is essential that we learn to Trust. Our next Apotheosis is 3.5 months away. Will you join us? May 26th - June 1st. Kumankaya, Mexico. Bufo and Ayahuasca. And plenty of Soul Family waiting to give you a big hug. : ) Is it time to take the Leap of Faith and see what awaits on the other side? In your Heart, you’ll know the answer.
