“Who am I need to trust?“
“What makes trust differ from reliable?“
I was fortunate to learn the difference between these two at such a young age and blessed with the guidance of “kalimatulhaq” with responsibility to lead my reader with what have been bestowed upon me. If we have learn the trilogy of man which I have been advocate for it. We realized, there are three phases of man started with man of symbols, become a man of faith and evolved to a man of virtue. The Excellence! Thus, how the trilogy of man lead us to identify between trust and reliable? First let’s we explore what these both really mean?
Hitherto we often associate these two as the same way except both happened in different domain in our own self. Reliable is associated with our Ego, the Consciousness mind, where it could be measured with the system of symbols, whereas there is expectation or projection we created need to fulfull. We invent a bunch of system of symbols to measure the reliability like credit score to measure the credit worthiness as guidance for the credit officer or Key-Performance-Index (KPI) to measure the reliability of worker based on their performance, either they meet the expectations or not. As we have learn, the system of symbols is too simple for us to represent on what we are genuinely looking for — Trust.
Trust happened in our unconscious mind, which is beyond our Ego. Trust is key on becoming the man of faith. Having faith is the act of trust where there is no recipe for it, otherwise it can be measured with system of symbols we used in reliability. Every man of faith will need start to trust his Calling – a transformation phenomena disguised in the system of symbols. It could be a mystical dream he experience , job offer or a marriage proposal. To start an adventure to learn who they really are, to be just to who they really!
Indeed, to trust is the scariest part of life because we put ourselves in vulnerable state, as we gamble with our reputation, status quo and livelihood. But if ask ask ourselves sincerely, who ‘I’ is scared?
It is Ego! Eventually the peak mountain you need to overcome will be your own. Why bother? you want to trust yourself.
Once you able to trust yourself to trust other, you have the Tao with you.
