decades of practicing meditation? And in a deep way, what I can say is that I have more trust in unfolding reality,

you know, more trust in the basic goodness the Buddha nature in myself and in others and even

when there's clear self-centeredness and delusion and aggression playing out, there's a deep place to me that sees these

waves on the ocean and really trusts our potential for goodness.

And trusting that brings me a lot more ease and energy

and happiness and open-heartedness.

So I'm focusing on trust last week, this week.

Trust, realizing our belonging, which is what allows for trust, it really frees us to live fully,

to love fully.

There's a quote from Sri Narsorga Data, one of my teachers,

that I go back to over and over again that I'll share with you right now. He writes this, he says, when you look at anything as separate from you, you cannot love it, you're afraid of it.

But when you know beyond all doubting that the same life that flows through you flows

through all that is, and you are that

entire universe are included in your heart.

So this is the radical belonging that allows us to trust and it's something that we can cultivate with meditation, which is the theme of this second part in my talk on trust from the archives that I'm sharing with you.

So, friends, I'm wishing for you that you may touch that, that radical radical deep sense of belonging that so nourishes our hearts that

it'll allow you to love without holding back. Thank you.

This class is part of a two-part exploration and last week we really kind of part exploration.

And last week we really kind of had this inquiry

of what would our life be like if we truly trusted
