We continue this journey into harmony, balance, trust, and presence, four very powerful energies. If people do not trust your presence because you do not radiate trustworthiness, it is difficult for the collective to experience harmony and balance. Trust is not a simple matter. The ego manipulates the experience of trust according to its perceived threats and dangers. It defines what it believes as trustworthy from a defensive position. Living defensively is never a proactive state of being.
