===Lesson===
 
You understand the importance of motive and how the outcome of action is not weighed for or against you unless you take into account the motive that initiates the action, for good motive, even while resulting in action that brought error, does ultimately reveal lessons learned that purify the application, the method you use to express your motive, and thereby you have grown and become more skillful in promoting the intention of your expression.

I wish to interject and emphasize trust, for it can be confusing to attempt to discern the correctness of intention, the source of motivation, and the form of gratification desired through the feeling of appealing, that pleasure, that receptive quality. Trust comes only, well, let me put it this way: It comes in two forms: One is a strong and close relationship with the divine within you, a trust that is linked with the understanding of divine love and compassion, of concern and care for your well-being, of the greatness of the knowledge and wisdom of the Father who is capable of preparing you, of teaching you flawlessly. And trust is the result of application, of stepping forward, executing a desire, experiencing the results, making an adjustment, developing a new technique, and deriving confidence. This trust is the result of experience.

Tom: You spoke in a lesson some time back on forgiveness not being a one time thing but also being growing. Love also. Most of these spiritual qualities we are studying are ongoing. You don't get them in a single episode.

Darid: Your insight is profound and will develop in its profundity as the ages pass. Again, another ongoing experience.

Evelyn: I see both of those forms of trust being antidotes to worry. Not that there won't be worrisome situations, but if you trust both your experience, your ability to act in a timely and an appropriate manner, as well as trusting God with things too far around the corner to see, you can alleviate a lot of worry.

Darid: Quite true, and I would repeat what I have said many months back, that I perceive not trial and error but trial and adjustment. Trial and error can sow the seeds of worry, for error is something disliked. But trial and adjustment sows the seeds of trust, for it implies the ability to correct and to move on.

Darid: I would summarize both your comments by bringing back the main topic of intention. Regardless of success or failure or whether it is likable or disliked, the main reevaluation that one can take is the purity of intention and the accuracy of intention and to make an adjustment in this arena. The likes, the dislikes, the successes and failures are only indicators for you to discern what truly must be adjusted for better results.

The time passes. Each of us has enjoyed our contact with you. I would conclude this meeting today and express what you already know, that the Father loves you deeply, the Son cares for you continually, and your Mother Spirit is likewise embracing you at all times. Farewell.
