In Fiducialism, I discuss the attitude of fiducialism, of seeking to trust. It can also mean an ethical orientation of trust-maximization.
Is it necessary to maximize trust? Here's a reason why:
We trust with something like a body. I would use the metaphor of "body" for the part of us that trusts, although it's not identical to the physical body. This body is opened up, or not. If we refuse to open all the parts of us, we can't fully trust God.
Trusting is valuing with your body. Your body says "this thing will enhance me" and that which enhances you is valuable to you (in this case to the part of you that trusts, your "trust body"). So if we can't fully trust God, we can't love him with all of our beings. Therefore we should seek to open up the different parts of our trust body, so that we can receive anything at all in those parts. We might prefer to not trust, but if we learn to trust now, we will be prepared for when we meet God.
