TRUST IS NOT A STRATEGY
It is not an option you choose. It is the physics you live in.
The Misconception
We do not “rely” on the Source. Not in the sense of a human action that seeks security. As if there are other options... and we are choosing Him as one of them.
The Source is not an object of trust. He is the Substance of Reality.
There is no psychological movement here of “leaning.” There is only an essential recognition. He is the acting force. The animating force. The constituting force in every single moment. And there is no reality other than Him at all.
The Slogan vs. The State
“There is nothing else but Him” (Ein Od Milvado). This is not a slogan of faith. It is a description of an existential state.
It does not mean: “I act and He assists.” It means: “He is the Actor... and I am the vessel where the action is revealed.”
The Sobering
Therefore... this is not a drugging of the consciousness. And it is not an abdication of responsibility. It is a total sobering up.
It is waking up from the illusion that there is a separate power. A separate will. Or a leadership that is not His.
This is not a movement. It is a Corrected Identity. Life itself is revealed as His action. Faith becomes a living substance. A force in action. A light revealed inside reality. Without mediation. And without conditions.
The End of Knowing
The purpose of knowing “There is nothing else”... Is to reach the state of “We Shall Not Know” (Lo Neda).
A state where all intellectual knowledge is nullified. Not from a lack of understanding. But because the human being ceases to be a “Knower.” And begins to live... as an eternal acting essence.
