In the language of the bible, Hebrew, the words belief and trust are very similar, almost the same. Trust in Hebrew is EMUN while belief is EMUNA.

Whether we want it or not, we use logical reasoning to draw conclusions about our spiritual path and to extend our beliefs.

I'm sure many find themselves, as I find myself sometimes, very concerned with a deep rooted feeling of skepticism, mental islands of distrust in god, in spite of all experiences and miracles we have seen, the mind still guards his control by repeating this conditioning of not believing, of skepticism.

So what is the solution? Well, the same universal solution that we keep forgetting about (actually that the mind keeps forgetting about): Accept! Accept your current skepticism!

Our subconscious conditioning is enormously influenced by the environment, by the collective mind of people around us and by the media.

We sometimes tend to unconsciously refer to skepticism / disbelief as the default science-based normal outlook.

Switch rapidly between belief and skepticism and see what the results are.

Never believe spiritual people blindly.

They are the worst liars.

Be skeptic and suppress all consequent fears. Or believe and face the residues of fear with trust.

Other combinations may lead to insanity.

You cannot observe your trust, you cannot measure your level of belief, trust and belief are beyond the mind.

Mind's conditioning changes only when it comes to a new understanding, which alters beliefs, which alters the mind's spontaneous activity.
