Seven Levels of Trust

Seven levels of trust-worthiness

Nobody is completely trust worthy. In the course of a day, we all experience gradations of integrity and even the wisest choice of partner will, at some point, present us with an empathic failure– if not outright violation. What, then, is an “acceptable trespass?” Is there a kind of person, or a way of life that makes people less likely to commit these trust breaks? Who can we truly trust?

As you read through these seven levels of trust-worthiness, notice which one’s apply to you and which “trust traits” you’d like to develop. Ask yourself: which trust level do I usually attract for partnership and how might I mature my trust-level so I can attract something different?

1) The Mystic

The most trustworthy person in the world is the Mystic: the divinely absorbed and contented one who is free of identity-grabbing role play who can, therefore, gracefully attune to what “what wants to happen” beyond personal desire. Unlike the theist, there is no attempt to avoid repercussions in an afterlife because they are sensitive to the “instant karma” awaiting them should they become harm another soul and dishonor the sacred current of life.   

2) The Rebirther

The second most trustworthy person is the sincere believer in reincarnation: the one who conducts his daily affairs according to a living sense that he or she abides, after death, as an entity in some kind of everlasting life and that the quality of this future life is determined- not just by outward actions- but by the way they inhabit their psyche: their habitual thoughts, moods and changing levels of empathy and consideration.

3) The Meditator

The third most trustworthy person is the meditator: the one who humbly, patiently, and mercifully witnesses the habits of mind that distract from “fullness of Being,” blinding him to the present moment. Daily practice allows these beings to quickly “return to zero,” see through soul-numbing preconceptions and attune to the real-time impact they are having on the person in front of them.   

4) The Counselor

The fourth most trustworthy person is the soul-seeing counselor: the one who regularly feels into the predicament of other psyches with the intention of inspiring them to live “true to their soul.” Tempted as they may be to use psychological shrewdness to manipulate, the haunting exposure to other’s demons makes adding more to a their karmic allotment of suffering nearly impossible. 

5) The Empath

The fifth most trustworthy person is the empath: the one who is constitutionally unable to hurt others beyond a certain point because other people’s pain so quickly becomes their own. Confused as they may be about who they are and how to care for themselves, they offer high quality care to others.  

6) The Humanist

The sixth most trustworthy person is the Humanist: the one who has no living sense of themselves as an eternal soul but who believes in the essential value and goodness of mankind and has, therefore, a natural inclination to trust in people’s positive intent. This inspires them to act fairly in their daily affairs and offer humanitarian support to the community at large.

7) The Entrepreneur

The seventh most trustworthy person is the entrepreneur: the one whose personal success depends on building trust with their clients and building a positive public reputation. They may or may not be empathic or humanitarian but their actions are, none the less, tempered and considerate.
