Tolle tells this story.
"As I was walking with a friend through a beautiful nature reserve near Malibu in California, we came upon the ruins of what had been once a country house, destroyed by fire several decades ago. As we approached the property, long overgrown with trees and all kinds of magnificent plants, there was a sign by the side of the trail put there by the park authorities. It read: Danger All Structures Are Unstable." I said to my friend, "That's a profound sutra [sacred scripture]." And we stood there in awe." (p. 81)
What do we trust in? Unstable structures or God? As a Christian believer, our faith is in the living God, not ourselves. Tolle would say, that divinity is inside of us. Whether immanent or transcendent, our trust is in the Power greater than ourselves, right?
