Society and Life is A Matter of Trust

From our first breath we take on this planet to the point when we leave it trust is a necessity for a sane life. First, we naturally have to trust in our parents to keep us alive, later we trust many others like teachers, possibly priests (if one grows up in an average western family) or an Imam (if one grows up in a muslim country). Then when we reach the age when we are allowed to vote we trust those we vote for. This goes on until we reach a point in life when we start questioning and when we seek different answers instead of accepting what has been (force-)fed to us. When we start to realise that our trust has been constantly betrayed.


It might be that we discover that our parents betrayed us by indoctrinating us with their view of the world. Most probably they were convinced it was for our good and most probably they themselves did not know better as they grew up in the same matrix we did. We may discover that
- our teachers did not  further our creative capabilities but tried to make us into functioning parts of the current sick society
-  doctors undermined our immune system with vaccinations and prescription drugs instead of looking for ways to heal


- the politicians we voted for care more about power, their connections with the corporate world and their bank accounts than for the interests of the people
-  the media are just a mere tools of the mighty and rich to justify their sick actions like wars and environmental destruction
-  the food which is supposed to be nourishing is killing us slowly
- the state spies on us and instead of protecting us sees us as enemies




We live in apocalyptic times. An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: apocálypsis,  meaning ‘un-covering’), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. It is a time when one cannot avoid realising the betrayal. It is the inevitable outcome for those who have eyes to see, ears to hear, an open enough mind and a heart instead of a stone. The question then is, how do we cope with this betrayal of trust and how do we carry on?

It will be very difficult for anyone who does not include a spiritual dimension in his/her life. Despair is looming. Without a very basic trust that there is more to life than just the reality we are currently experiencing, it becomes meaningless and we will live out our days like zombies – without meaning, without purpose, unfulfilled and numbed down. Once one realises this, life takes on a whole different meaning. We discover that first and foremost we have to trust ourselves. We have to acknowledge that our ability to find out that we have been betrayed throughout our lives is a very special gift. This capability within us is what we have to put our trust in. Some may say it is our inner divine spark, the essence of life.



But just trusting is not enough. How can we possibly not act on our discoveries?  We will not be whole when on the one hand we know about all what is wrong but live life as if all is ok. If we do not try to put things right we will become split personalities and be as sick as the current society. We can demonstrate and protest, blame the system, blame the politicians. But if we are honest to ourselves we find that first we must change our lives to be in balance with our newly found truths. How can we possibly go on to support this system? Living a different life that does not support all that we found wrong can be a lonesome road to travel. But travel it we must – for the sake of our own sanity.


At the same time we should be on the lookout for other fellow human beings traveling in the same direction. We should get together and again learn to trust each other. The best way to do this is to live together in a community of like minded people who try to no longer support what they know is wrong. Then we can find ways forward together which were not apparent to us as individuals. We can then know each other,  support each other, learn from each other and come to the conclusion – In us we (can) trust.
