00:00What role does trust play in surrender?
00:03How to know who to trust?
00:04Think of a medical syringe.
00:06Don't you trust the manufacturer and still you resist the injection?
00:10The problem is not that we don't trust the thing.
00:13The problem is that we trust our tendency to resist pain a little more.
00:19The evaluator inside you, right?
00:21And if the internal evaluating mechanism is in itself distorted,
00:26the results it will give me will not be any good.
00:29So before I ask, is that fellow worthy of being surrendered to?
00:34I must first ask, who is setting my criteria?
00:37Is the criteria the medicine or the pain?
00:40When you think of your relationship with the syringe,
00:43I'm asking you who is setting the criteria?
00:45There could be someone within who might say the criteria is medicine
00:48and someone within could equally well say the criteria is pain.
00:52And if the criteria changes, the results change.
00:55Who is the one within that talks so much?
00:57Who is the one within that assumes my name and acts on behalf of me?
