Trust, Paradox, and the Taste of Reality

Confianza, paradoja y el sabor de la realidad

This session explores how paradox—such as suffering and peace coexisting—is resolved not by the mind but by being. A student describes the friction between presence and old thought patterns, leading to a discussion of intimacy with experience and how reality cannot be captured in words. Another student examines how distrust functions as a safety strategy rooted in the past, and the teacher challenges them to see it as an active choice rather than something that happens to them.
