What is beyond trust?

Any time I hear someone say “trust me” I get just a tiny bit skeptical.

It registers for me as “I’m trying to persuade you but my argument isn’t solid enough on its own so I’m turning to peer pressure to convince you.”

That’s not so trustable.

There are many things where an argument and persuasion are not possible. How do I trust that I am on the right path, for example. I can believe that I am. I can have confidence that I am. But trust leaves room for doubt.

When it comes to walking my highest path in this lifetime, I don’t trust trust.

I know I am.

Knowing is the ultimate form of conviction. Knowing is what trust hopes to be one day when it grows up. Knowing removes all uncertainty and doubt.

I know with every cell in my body that I am on the right path for me. There is a complete and unshakable certainty that this is absolute truth. I don’t need to trust that. I know.

How do I have this knowing that this is the my path? Well, that is a thought for another day.
