Changes

Let us speak first about fellow Kingdom believers, your brothers and sisters in the [[spirit]], those in whom you recognize a [[God-consciousness]], your friends in the spirit. You are opening yourself to lightening your [[burden]] when you can speak with them in [[confidence]] and in [[trust]] that they will hear you as a fellow sojourner and respect your confidence that they will give back to you in kind what [[the Father]] gives back to you when you speak to Him in confiding trust.

When you speak with the non-believer, it behooves you to be as wise as serpents and peaceful as doves;[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_10] it behooves you to whet their appetite for [[truth]]; it behooves you to [[encourage]] them to know [[the Father]], for in knowing the Father, they are welcomed into this fraternity wherein you have confiding [[trust]] in one another. Many of your distresses are brought about, as you all well know, by placing your trust in sources which fall short of the goals of [[eternity]], which fall short of the [[recognition]] of [[God]]. It is worthy of the [[adventure]] to attempt to none-the-less convey a confiding trust even in your [[enemies]], for it gives them an [[opportunity]] to make a [[choice]]. Every [[decision]] that is made brings the mortal closer to [[ascending]] one step further, every moment provides unlimited [[opportunities]] to [[the kingdom]] [[seeker]].

Returning to your fellowship, your immediate [[associations]], which we know is the arena in which you [[work]], [[play]], [[function]], have [[influence]] and are influenced by, your arena is where you must learn to have confiding trust. [[Trust]] is a difficult thing for you mortals to undertake, for your trust has been [[betrayed]] often. Your [[Planetary Prince]] betrayed the trust when he set forth [[53:3 The Lucifer Manifesto|his Manifesto]], and your entire [[evolution]] since those early, early times has been founded on this distrust.

As to your remark, Elizabeth, I would like to [[reiterate]] something from the lost lesson of last week, that being that this ability to [[engage]] in confiding [[trust]] with your fellows is a [[method]] of involving yourself in the human race. It [[bonds]] you with people in an [[intimate]] way that can never be brought about by mere social banter, for it is a [[soul]] to soul situation. There is no [[friendship]] without a certain amount of confiding [[trust]]. There is no real [[marriage]] without confiding trust. How, indeed, can one give so much of oneself to someone without some [[degree]] of trust? As we study further certain subjects such as [[intimacy]] we will gain yet broader [[understanding]]....
