What do you do with a teaching that asks you to trust something you can't prove? James from the St. Louis sangha reads Stephen Batchelor's "Resolve" chapter and his answer is to keep the trust pointed at yourself and at the decision you already made, rather than at a claim about the universe. He works through Batchelor's three words for resolve — aspiration, appreciation, conviction — through the idea that our conditioning behaves like an addiction, and through Buddha nature, which he handles carefully because this is an agnostic practice and he'll only speak to what he knows. He's honest that he'd still call it spiritual. The St. Louis sangha discusses these ideas and introduces equanimity, self-compassion, tai chi, and more from their experiences.
