The Source Of All Trust

Something is still missing in my life. Something is still not right. And then you try other relationships, and you try other places to live, and you try other activities. And sooner or later, and usually sooner, you come again to the place, this isn't right either. And then you ask, what am I really meant to do? Where am I really meant to be? Because it's not here. It's never here, ultimately, because you're not at home deep enough in the now, so you can never feel this is never it. But there's no external solution to that. There's only an inner solution to that. You come home to the now and you have to drop down beyond the mental emotional accumulations that you confuse with who you are. And you sense, as I sometimes say, the ripple on the surface of the Pacific Ocean stops thinking of itself as a ripple and senses its own depth. And suddenly the ripple feels at one with the depths of the ocean, but also feels at one with every other ripple that it sees on the surface of the ocean, because it senses its connectedness with the totality with the one, and therefore recognizes every other ripple as also being an expression of that. And then, for the first time, it can become comfortable with other ripples really at ease. The ripples, of course, in our analogy, are people.
