Exactly.
But if I already have it, why would I even think I needed it?
Because you don’t know you already have it. It is a matter of perception.
Do You mean that if I perceive that I need something, I do?
You will think that you do.
But if I think that God will meet all my needs, then I will not “think that I do.”
That is correct. That is why faith is so powerful. If you have faith that all your needs will
always be met, then, technically, you have no needs at all. And this is the truth, of course,
and it will become your experience, and so your faith will be “justified.” Yet all you will have
done is change your perception.
What I expect is what I get?
Something like that, yes. Yet the true Master lives outside the space of expectation. He
expects nothing and desires nothing more than what “shows up.”
Why?
Because he already knows he has everything. And so he happily accepts whatever part of
Everything it is that shows up in any particular moment.
He knows that it is all perfect, that life is perfection, playing itself out.
Under these circumstances, trust is not required.
Or, to put it another way, “trust” becomes “knowing.”
Yes. There are three levels of awareness around everything. These are: hope, belief, and
knowing.
When you have a “hope” about something, you are wishing that it is true, or that it will
happen. You are not certain, in any sense of the word.
When you have a “belief” about something, you are thinking that it is true, or that it will
happen. You are not certain, but you think you are certain, and you continue to think so
unless something to the contrary appears in your reality.
