Is to let go into complete trust (as a spiritual decision) a passive act?

There is no duality. There is not GOD and us - we are all one. There is only one, and that is everything that exists. To be otherwise is impossible.

Unknowing is active and passive, depending on the circumstances. To be unknowing with intent is active. To be unknowing with ignorance (not knowing) and indifference is passive.

Our soul is always giving us situations where we might come closer to understanding that this force or energy we call GOD is all that is, all that was and all that ever will be. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don't - and that is OK.

To let go into complete trust is active. There is a decision and then the act.

Remaining in a state of unknowing is to remain ignorant, and though it may be passive or active, others will comment that it is indolent..

Intuitive knowledge is never simply granted but must be taken. There will always be someone to come along and decide what guidance or direction you 'need'.

Overall, you're describing a very immature state.

I think,

those who follow the way of the doubt, logic and meditation,

enter into the state of let go consciously,

which in the east is known as "arpan"

and that means something like 'presenting as such',

so that can not be considered as a passive act,

while those who follow the way of the faith, love, prayer or believing,

enter into the state of let go in trust,

which in the east is known as "samarpan"

and that means something like 'total surrender'

and that again does not appear as something to be passive.

I think,

it is better to relate the the state of knowing or unknowing to the level of the consciousness

and may be termed as conscious and semiconscious or unconscious respectively.

In my view,

the state of let go is actually a state of beginning of the ego-less-ness,

so one is least concerned to the status of power in that state.

There is no such thing as a passive act.

Look, if this "God" of yours exists, surely you can see that He made you to think for yourself. Otherwise why would He make you?

If the "God" doesn't exist, don't go into the lion's den.

it would depend on how much control over the gravity of the situation I have. I don't understand how gravity works, but it exists and I have always trusted it... spiritual gravity is the same.

Are you serious? Lol!

Seriously I tend to think of trust as active. Suspicion, and fear itself, are natural instincts. Can't think of anything that I've trusted instinctively. Although I have trusted intuitively. Trust is usually earned.

The "State of unknowing" is also natural. We are all born unknowing. But is it passive? I do know the first step to learning anything is admitting that you don't know it. But that is an active acknowledgement. Knowledge is power but we cannot await it, we must seek it. We can await direction and guidance, or not.

Complete trust in what? The Bible? Visions? Upanishads? Deciding who to listen to is an active decision. All your divisions are constructions you yourself make because the mind categorizes the world to make decision making easier. You can't remove your own ego from any categorization you make. There is no real active and passive; they are the same coin.

Love can be an emotion and Love can also be an action.

When you say that you love a person because he/she has done something good to you, that love is based on emotion. When you care, you understand, you respect and be responsible for a person, that love is an action.

So when you let go with complete faith and trust in the higher power, that is action based on love. This love is an action, It comes from an awareness that sometimes doing nothing and letting go is love as an action.

No, it is a conscious decision to leave something alone so that God can work it out.

your drugs are way better than mine, wow
