There are many who will try to imitate but it is your
responsibility to be sufficiently discerning so as not to be fooled.
Learn who and how to trust. Trust is a word that is often used to
deceive, but yet trust must be allowed to be. How then do you
know how to trust? There is one word, discernment. In Spirit
communication this word, discernment is a valid one both on the
earth plane and on the plane of Spirit.

There are many on the earth that seek to have your trust
in order to deceive you. It is up to you to have discernment in
order to have trust that you can trust. You must be able to trust
yourself before you can truly trust others. There are many words
that are very valid to the correct use in understanding. It is
unfortunate that many more can also be added in order to
disguise deceit. Let us talk more on this subject another day.

We have decided to bring these matters to your attention
in order that you might be in a position that would be better
suited to your evolvement; that you would better understand
those who would try to mislead you from the truth; those who
would seek to misguide you with words that you were not fully
conversant with. We know that the path you trod is not the most
obvious to you at this stage and it is at this stage that most effort
will be made to draw you away from it.
