Daniel: "Good evening my dear [[friends]]. I am Daniel. I am your [[teacher]]. I am [[aware]] of the concern that you [[feel]] for your brother J4. This [[wonderful]] man is a true servant of [[the Father]], has [[dedicated]] his life to following His will. And know that within the whole [[picture]], within the framework of [[God]]'s [[plan]], all things will be brought to greater [[good]]. Know that even though there are those times when you are left with [[doubt]], left with the [[unknown]], that is the time, the most important time for you to go within to seek the [[silence]], to be of one mind with [[the Father]], the [[First Source and Center]]. And so know that in [[faith]], in [[trust]], you will continue to [[progress]], to move forward. You will be able to stand with [[courage]] to [[endure]]. And know that J4 has much [[faith]], much [[trust]].

And you know from [[experience]] the [[necessity]] that [[trust]] has in a [[relationship]]. And know that so long as you are trustworthy that your relationship with another can never deteriorate because of that aspect. It is through your [[trust]] that you cement and bond. It is only when the trust is [[violated]] that [[relationships]] crumble, that there is deterioration. And there are, as with [[all things]], various levels of [[trust]]. I have started this evening with the higher [[trust]] of that between you and the [[first Source and Center]], and now between you and fellow [[brothers and sisters]] on [[personal]] [[relationships]].

And there must also be [[trust]] that you feel within the general [[society]]. You must have trust that your [[institutions]] are on the up and up, that your [[government]] is functioning, that what you do for a living, your employer can be trusted. So [[trust]], then, is on this level. And you have noticed, you have seen first hand, what happens to [[governments]] when trust is broken. You have seen what happens in [[corporations]] when trust is broken. So, again, trust can only be meted out to the general [[public]] in [[accordance]] with the [[individual]] trustworthiness of the members of [[society]]. When you are doing your part in this arena, then you are contributing to the general [[good]] of [[society]]. For you are, in effect, being one who can [[Lesson on Self_mastery|govern themselves]], one who [[understands]] what [[liberty]] really is.

You must also have [[trust]] in the [[natural]] [[unfolding]] of life. You [[trust]] without even [[thought]], that there will be night and day; there will be [[changes]] of [[season]]; there will be a [[sun]] and [[moon]]. You [[trust]] that your [[body]] will be able to [[breathe]], to carry on its bodily [[functions]]. You trust that the [[seeds]] you plant in your [[garden]], when given proper [[care]], will sprout and [[grow]].

You trust that the [[seeds]] you plant in your [[garden]], when given proper [[care]], will sprout and [[grow]].

[[Grow]] even more [[aware]] of this [[trust]]. Know ever more deeply how valuable it is to be trustworthy. Let this very [[beautiful]] [[virtue]] be a testimonial of your life. There are no [[material]] [[things]] that you can take to the [[grave]] with you. Only those things that build your [[soul]] carry on. And in the [[mind]] of your [[brothers and sisters]], let them always [[remember]] you as being one who could be relied upon, could be trusted. For under the [[virtue]] of [[trust]] are many other virtues that are seen. And you, my [[friends]], are building that [[foundation]]. And your fruits are many. I am so fortunate to be a [[teacher]] to those who are so [[dedicated]], who are so willing to keep trying, to keep working, to be [[steadfast]], even when the work you must do to be this way is often very tiring, often calls upon you to show much [[endurance]]. I [[love]] you. You are all [[growing]]. You are all showing forth that true [[virtue]] of being trustworthy. And I see this very evidently when I [[visit]] you. Continue, for you are all headed in the right [[direction]], yes! And now I will gladly [[accept]] questions."

F1: "Hi, Daniel! I want to tell you that I [[love]] you and thanks once again. This lesson tonight is one that I really need in this time in my life. And I also have a [[question]] on it concerning everyday life and with the people, who.. Are we just to [[trust]] everyone for exactly who they are ? For example if we are an employer and we have someone come to [[work]] for us that we know may steal from us and when they come to work for us can we just [[trust]] them for being exactly who they are, a stealer? If you'd say that, and just set an example of being a way shower for them through our [[actions]] that that's not the way we are. Am I [[understanding]] that correctly?"

Daniel: "Well stated, yes."

Daniel: "Well stated, yes."

V1: "Daniel, this is V1 and that brings, you know that [[discussion]], two thoughts came to [[mind]]. Of course, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler Hitler] was a [[dictator]] but certainly, it was against the [[law]] to try to kill him and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonhoeffer Deitrich Bonhoeffer] did that very thing for the [[good]] of the German [[society]] and the good of the [[planet]]. The other [[thought]] I have concerning [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohlberg%27s_stages_of_moral_development Kohlberg's stages of moral development], the highest according to him (and I'm throwing this out so that maybe you will comment on it) that even in a [[democracy]] where there are laws and those laws are not for the good of everyone, according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Kohlberg Kohlberg], he says that the higher law is to do that which is [[good]] and maybe break the law of [[taxes]] or what ever it is. Would you just comment on that?"

Would you just comment on that?"

Daniel: "First question, first thing, no comment. Second, know that in line of something as [[taxes]] in a [[democracy]] there are other [[channels]]. And I am not one that will say right or wrong. You must [[decide]] that within your [[being]]. I can not comment on what you must do in this regard in [[social]] [[changes]] that call for you to make a [[freewill]] choice. If you are building your [[foundation]], if you are keeping your [[sights]] on following the [[First Source and Center]], if you are doing what you need to do to be [[clear]] in your own [[being]] then these answers on social [[questions]] will be easier for you to answer. You must be able to make [[choices]] based on [[research]], based on [[knowledge]], based on [[wisdom]] and not ones that are based on [[fear]], based on [[emotions]], based on those things which are not well planned. Do you see?"

Do you see?"

V1: "Yes, Daniel, I do see that. I was just thinking in terms of not specific [[taxes]], or maybe not even breaking a [[law]] but the [[thought]] that the greater [[good]] for all is perhaps the highest [[moral]] law there is and it might be indeed [[doing the will of the God]] we both serve and [[love]]."

Daniel: "And you will always be doing the highest good when you are in that [[God-conscious]] [[mode]]. And yes, the highest good does serve [[mankind]], does bring forth more [[growth]], more [[progress]]."

Daniel: "And you will always be doing the highest good when you are in that [[God-conscious]] [[mode]]. And yes, the highest good does serve [[mankind]], does bring forth more [[growth]], more [[progress]]."

Daniel: "Hello, L2."

Daniel: "Hello, L2."

L2: "When you [[speak]] of [[trust]] I couldn't help but [[think]] of [[faith]] and [[hope]] being along the same lines. I just wanted to comment on that because they all go hand in hand. And this teaching tonight helped me to think about that and helped me in my [[relationship]] with my daughter and [[husband]]. Thank you."
