Trusting the Gold - Realizing Our Basic Goodness - Can you imagine a world where humans are able to look at each other and all of life, and see the light of the sacred shining through? This talk explores our potential for trusting the love and awareness that animate our living world. We investigate the suffering of othering, how the trance of separateness blinds us to our basic goodness, and then explore the practices that open our eyes to the larger truth of our shared belonging.

0:28.5 | Hello, my name is Sté. Welcome friends. Today's talk is on trust, trusting who we are, |
0:34.9 | trusting our basic goodness, trusting and seeing the sacredness that lives through all of life. |
0:41.3 | And as many know, it's a theme I really turn to often. I chose this one from the archives |
0:48.5 | because so much of our core suffering circles around distrust and are really our hope for |
0:55.2 | the future circles around what I call trusting the gold. And sometimes I imagine how our |

1:45.5 | source. And you'll naturally find that it expands to include more and more of the world. |

2:19.7 | know, when I do this, when I say Namaste and I feel it, like I get embodied, you know, |
2:29.0 | what happens is in some way I get more real, more sincere. And then I feel us all in the |
2:33.6 | feel together, which really matters. I often think about, you know, in the West, we greet |
2:40.4 | each other with a handshake, you know, I don't have a gun. And then the East, I see the |
