Are you asking if our fundamental resistance is to a lack of security?
Well,
I think trust is holding in there.
So it has to do with an underlying distrust.
Yeah.
That's what resistance is.
It's underlying distrust.
Yep.
But then,
Yeah,
So lack of security is that.
.
.
It's like its first manifestation.
Yep.
I mean,
There's two sides to this.
There is the fundamental distrust that we have,
That we develop.
We developed this very,
Very early on,
A fundamental distrust.
But there's also what it is that we're distrusting.
Right?
If we look at.
.
.
We might come in contact with our fundamental attitude of distrust.
It's very deep.
I'm talking about something very,
Very deep and subtle in our consciousness,
This attitude of distrust.
Because it's the attitude that leads us to be against something.
Distrust will create a feeling in us of needing to be against something.
So it's very deeply rooted.
Anytime we see ourselves in an attitude where we are against something,
That's where the distrust is appearing.
But there's also the gap between our distrust and what we've lost trust in.
And we have a reasonable explanation for that.
Looking at our life experience,
We can say,
I don't trust others.
I don't trust for my security.
I don't trust for my well-being.
Truth is,
We don't trust our true nature.
That's the real truth,
Is we don't trust our true nature.
And that's part of why we're so pissed off deep down.
We've lost trusting in what is most true and real about us.
But distrust is the first symptom.
It's sort of the first ingredient that we have.
It's our first departure from our innermost being,
One that is acquired very,
Very early in our experience.
And from that,
We naturally formulate this fear for our well-being.
We learn to do whatever it is that seems to ensure our well-being.
The things we do to ensure our well-being.
Well,
How insured is your well-being?
Can you make enough money to prevent cancer?
Can you have a comfy enough life circumstance to make sure you never get hit by a car?
How insured can we actually be?
And if we're really telling the truth,
All insurance of any kind is completely ridiculous.
Just cannot achieve it.
But trust.
It's ironic that when a person is actually in a true state of trust,
The trust that comes with trusting life,
Suddenly they find that everything is secure.
But they're not secure because their future well-being is insured.
They're secure because this moment is secure.
That this moment is absolutely secure.
100% of the time.
But we don't look for security that way.
Because again,
We have conditions,
Right?
Our distrust leads us into condition-making.
I need this to feel secure.
I need this to feel secure.
I need this to feel pleasure.
I need this to feel happy.
I need this to feel fulfilled.
I need this to feel strong.
I need this to feel powerful.
All of the different connotations that we have.
But look at what we've done to feel secure.
Whether it's taking care of our health or making enough money or whatever it may be.
Surrounding ourselves with people who are supportive.
Do you feel any more secure as a result of any of those things?
I mean,
I won't speak for you,
But no,
You don't.
Because security on that level is completely imaginary.
That's a good subject because it really hits at.
.
.
Really when we peel away all of the other dilemmas of our life,
Security is at the root.
We will act for our security before anything else.
If you were in a situation where your security or well-being was seriously jeopardized and you were having a great time,
You would abandon that great time in a moment to take care of your security.
It's our most fundamental human drive to be secure.
Our most fundamental biological drive,
We could say.
To be safe.
