Is sufficient trust necessary for deep absorption?

Trust plays different roles at different times in the evolution of our meditational practice. One of the first hindrances that we encounter is an unwillingness of the mind caused by procrastination, attachment to unskilful activities, and self-underestimation. These three are respectively a lack of trust in the goal, the method and ourselves. 

When our meditation advances, it can often be difficult to stop checking progress, or the state of our mind when that is no longer necessary. Here trust in the process and our newly gained meditative capabilities becomes important. 

Finally we develop trust in our selfless person, which includes a profound understanding of how our person comes into existence in dependence on our aggregates and context, and by extension which conditions cause flourishing and which ones cause dissatisfaction, disempowerment and suffering. This realisation of our selfless, embedded person is the ultimate ‘secure attachment style ‘ one could say.
