Trust
Trust
is the capacity to feel confident about living in the world. With Trust,
we sense our own inner power and well-being, and are able to take a non-judgmental
and flexible attitude toward the events in our lives. We become unattached
to outcomes and have no need to control or intimidate others. With Trust,
we come to feel that we will be able to create a life with safety.
These are the core aspects of Trust:
- Being non-judgmental
- Feeling inner confidence
- Feeling enabled and strong
- Being flexible
- Not being attached to defined outcomes
- Feeling like you can create your own life

Acceptance
Acceptance
is the widening of our vision so we have the ability to see more of the
world without distortion or misinterpretation. Acceptance means that you
see something and know it for what it is, without having the need to change
it. Acceptance does not mean 'approval', or that you condone what you
see, only that you see the whole picture. With Acceptance, we can more
easily experience balance, forgiveness, and harmony.
These are the core aspects of Acceptance:
- Seeing the world more clearly
- Being more forgiving
- Being merciful
- Radiating Love in harmony with others and the
forces of Life
- Being responsible for my own life and not being
a victim

is the capacity to experience the wisdom and knowledge we have inside
us, and move beyond an emotional reaction to events into making correct,
reasonable, and meaningful decisions. With Understanding,
we seek to comprehend our experience, to bring ‘all we know’
to situations and events, and learn to act with both compassion and intelligence.
Understanding forms the basis for our accomplishments
in life and the expression of our accumulated wisdom.
These are the core aspects of Understanding:
- Moving beyond my emotional reactions to events
and people
- Finding my own inner wisdom
- Finding meaning in all that I do
- Finding the right balance between compassion
and intelligence
- Developing my capacity to understand the world
- Using my head as well as my hearty
- Trusting my knowledge and intelligence

Love
Love
is a state of being. Love allows us to relate to the
world in a forgiving, empathic, and nurturing way, and requires us to
live from fully from our
hearts as well as our minds. Where understanding helps us discern particulars,
Love allows us to connect to wholeness. Love strives
to connect to the essence of another with an unconditional, unchanging
reverence for life.
Love is expressed in thousands of ways, universally
across cultures.
These are the core aspects of Love:
- Being compassionate toward others
- Finding loving-kindness in my heart
- Being supportive and nurturing to others
- Connecting with others and myself deeply and lovingly
- Finding my wholeness
