This class is part of a two-part exploration and last week we really kind of had this inquiry

of what would our life be like.

If we really trusted our basic goodness, if we trusted the awareness and heart, it's

really right at the source of our being and if we looked at others and trusted that same

goodness.

And so we're going to continue in that.

And it's really a larger question even of just trusting life, trusting the benevolence,

the basic kind of benevolence or goodness that's here.

So the inquiry is partly what stops us and partly what nourishes trust.

And there's an underlying recognition no matter where we stand in this that we're all,

this is universal, we're all preconditioned to it's kind of the bias, the evolutionary

bias to assume something's wrong.

It's part of our survival equipment that we assume something's wrong.

We assume it with ourself.

If we feel separate, we tend to feel like we're in some way deficient.

And we assume it with others that something's wrong and with life.

So if we just bear witness to today, we can see that rigging in action in the way the

mind works, that a lot of moments, there are worry thoughts, we're planning and trying

to make sure something doesn't go wrong.
