A man, perhaps in his 40s, stepped up on a platform near us and began speaking to the crowd. He said, “This is the time. We are ready. Everything has come to this moment and now we will begin to manifest the new paradigm.” There was a powerful understanding that resonated across the crowd. We knew we were entering a completely different way of being, one based on fundamental trust in the universe.

Then he said, “Kim and [he named another person near me] will begin this. They will go into that bank across the street and [the other person] will ask the teller for the money needed to launch this new paradigm. Knowing this is exactly what is supposed to happen, she will, without hesitation, give the bag to Kim. Kim will take it and walk out the door in full confidence that the security guard sitting on the side will not shoot her in the back. He, too, understands that this is the right thing and that absolute trust and responsibility are at play. It’s the only force at play.”

And that is exactly what happened. I knew that if we doubted, I could be shot in the back. And I knew I wouldn’t be, but I could feel all the fine distinctions of trust, any one of which could fail at any moment.

What was clear was how fundamental this was. When any of us stops believing for a moment, it won’t work. It’s as though you have to believe you can fly, and as long as you do, you will. The second you doubt, you fall to the ground.

It was so clear that this absolute faith in everything was essential to the new paradigm. It meant trusting without knowing; trusting our instincts, trusting our words, our thoughts, and trusting that each is acting according to their own inner self-trust. Trusting that the largest “right timing” will prevail, that we are all listening to and support it, and that whatever is right will show up next. Trusting that the divine is in full charge. And as we go, we will get better and better at listening, trusting, and acting on it. Nothing else is needed.

The unquestionable trust that was so powerful in this dream has been transformative in my life. The dream has carried me, continuously reminding me to live in complete acceptance of what is here. It is a knowing beyond knowing.
