Trust Is Not Believe Or Disbelieve

**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY.

This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

To understand trust,

We have to look at ourselves,

Look at the relationships,

The relations between ourselves and the world To really pay attention to the subtle details of the trust For many people,

Trust is often mistakenly associated with believing or not believing I believe you,

So I trust you.

I don't believe you,

So I don't trust you This seems to be the normal notion of the word trust to many people But here,

We have to set aside all the knowledge we have accumulated All the things have been taught by others to look at what is trust in person If I believe somebody,

Who am I?

Who is somebody?

What do I really believe?

I or somebody or the self,

The me,

The me here and the me there,

It's all about me.

What is me?

So that's the real question behind who am I?

Who are you?

Who is somebody?

Me is a concept.

It's a concept made up of many images about me,

Name,

Title,

House,

Car,

Estate,

Money,

Fame,

Position,

Education,

Certificate Many many things that are holding up to this concept,

Me And look around this world,

The me becomes so important,

Almost everybody is holding this concept Me first,

Which creates such an extremely fragmented society,

Which is called individualism Me becomes the content of the consciousness,

Or simply speaking,

Me is the whole consciousness for most people on this planet The self,

The ego,

The me is a bunch of images and their reactions to the images have all kinds of feelings Proud,

Self-important,

Self-conscious,

Esteem,

That's why most people are living in thoughts Because me is a product of thoughts,

And when I say I believe you,

What do I really believe?

Do I really believe you as a person or do I believe you as some image?

If there's no image on my mind about you,

Can I really believe you or not?

Or there's no belief or disbelief at all when the mind has no image?
