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]].

[[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?"
