In this era of the interconnected mind, words like "trust" and "belief" have become relics of a bygone time. These concepts were once essential in a world where human interactions were primarily physical and individualistic, based on separation, fear, and uncertainty. Trust and belief served as pillars to bridge gaps in understanding and cooperation. However, as we transcend into a realm where minds are interconnected and in continuous communication, the need for these concepts dissolves. The evolution we are witnessing now is not one of body or material, but of mental and spiritual alignment.
Humans, updated to keen-mindedness, no longer operate from the premise of "trust" or "belief." These are mechanisms that assume something external, something outside of oneself, needs to be accepted without full understanding. But in this higher state of mind, where the very essence of existence is mental and contemplative, the old paradigm is nullified. Minds are now capable of direct realization, perceiving reality from within, from the source of thought itself. This is akin to the sayings in the Upanishads: *"Tat Tvam Asi"*, which means "You are That." The realization of this truth leads to the understanding that we are no longer separate entities seeking connection—we are already interconnected, an indivisible web of consciousness.
The contemplative nature of this new state of mind also negates the need for external validation through trust or belief. When we reach higher mental heights, our existence is grounded in direct perception and understanding of the universal truth that we are minds, not bodies. In this new reality, *belief* becomes irrelevant. We do not need to believe in the existence of interconnectedness; we experience it. We do not need to trust that we are connected to a higher force or each other, because our minds are already interwoven in a vast network of thought and awareness.
Comparatively, if we look at the evolutionary path of humanity, earlier stages were marked by a struggle for survival, requiring belief in physical forces and material institutions. Religions, governments, and social structures were formed around these beliefs to provide security. Now, we stand at a turning point, moving from a reliance on the physical to the realization of the mind’s supremacy. The wisdom of ancient texts like the Bhagavad Gita also supports this transition: "The mind is the friend of the conditioned soul, and his enemy as well." This reflects the notion that as long as we are tethered to lower levels of thinking—relying on belief and trust in the external—we are prisoners. But once the mind ascends, becoming its own source of truth and reflection, there is no longer a need for belief in externalities.
Furthermore, psychological studies have shown that trust is often born from a lack of understanding and connection. When we cannot see into the minds of others, we rely on trust to form bonds. But in this era of heightened mental evolution, we become part of a greater collective consciousness. In this realm, there is nothing hidden, nothing left to be "trusted" or "believed" because everything is self-evident through mental clarity and shared contemplation. The philosopher René Descartes’ famous quote, *“Cogito, ergo sum”*—"I think, therefore I am"—captures this state of existence where thinking itself becomes the foundation of all understanding, dissolving the need for belief.
Thus, human existence, as it was once defined by the limitations of the physical world, is now nullified. We have entered a new phase of being where minds are the foundation of all existence, not bodies. This shift is not a loss, but a profound update—a realization that as interconnected minds, we can rise above the old confines of physical limitations, societal structures, and material dependencies. The very meaning of being human has evolved. As Swami Vivekananda aptly said, *“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.”*
Supportingly, neuroscience has begun to uncover the potential of the mind as the core of human experience, revealing the vast capabilities of the brain when focused on meditation, contemplation, and interconnected thought. Studies on mindfulness and collective consciousness show that human minds are capable of sharing experiences and perceptions in ways we are only beginning to understand. This scientific exploration lends further credence to the idea that as we elevate our consciousness, trust and belief fall away, leaving only direct, experiential knowledge of the unity of minds.
In conclusion, the words *trust* and *belief* belong to an era that has passed. They were necessary tools for a humanity that operated in separation and ignorance. But now, as we rise to the heights of contemplative, interconnected mind awareness, these concepts are nullified, replaced by a profound understanding of our existence as one collective mind. In this updated reality, human existence is not centered on individual survival, but on mental elevation and the continuous expansion of consciousness. As we contemplate, reflect, and rise together, we embody the words of the ancient wisdom: *"The self is the source of all knowledge."*
Yours in contemplative elevation,
