Essential

"God has the answer to your most fundamental and essential questions about life. But you must be patient and take the Steps to Knowledge and hold yourself back regarding other people."

“The steps involve giving up what is non-essential and realizing what is essential. When you are doing what is essential, you feel essential. When you are doing what is non-essential, you feel non-essential because you always identify with what you are doing.”

Directives

"Take everything you are doing in life, and you ask yourself, 'Fundamentally, is this what I really need to be doing?' Every relationship, 'Is this relationship helping me? Is it important for me now?' Everything! And you will have a deeper sense of it coming from Knowledge, way deep inside of you. Perhaps it will be a feeling. Perhaps it will be an image. Perhaps the answer will come a week from now. You have to keep asking and listening."

Essential for survival

"The study of Knowledge is not only edifying, it is essential for survival and advancement in the Greater Community."

"It is indeed your self-sufficiency and the development of your understanding and unity that become most essential for your wellbeing in the future."

Essential to collectives

"In large collectives" ... "uniformity and compliance are essential to efficient functioning, particularly over vast areas of space."

Essential for disclosure of the Intervention agenda

"It is the individual’s response and commitment to the truth that are essential here."

Essential role of the Allies

"Our role, then, is quite essential, and our information is very needed because at this time even people who are aware of the presence of the visitors are not yet aware of their intentions."

Something essential missing in hybrid humans

"You will think they are human beings, but something essential will seem to be missing in them, something that is valued within your world. It is possible to be able to discern and to identify these individuals, but in order to do so, you would have to become skilled in the mental environment and learn what Knowledge and Wisdom mean in the Greater Community."

Essentials of religion

"The religious traditions of the world speak well for you in their essential teachings."

"Only that which is essential in the study and the practice of the awareness of the Creator and the Creator’s great endowment of Knowledge to the individual is translatable.

Essential on The Way of Knowledge

"Not everyone can travel with you up this mountain, and you cannot take everything with you. You cannot take all of your beliefs, attitudes and assumptions with you. For as you go, things are set aside, eventually only leaving you with what is essential for your journey. When you live with what is essential, you will recognize and feel that your life is essential. Likewise, if you surround your life with what is not essential, you will feel your life is not essential."

"You are preparing your ship to sail, for on this journey you can only take what is essential and necessary for the mission itself. You cannot take everyone you love, you cannot take everything you like, you cannot take all the things that you believe in, you cannot take all of your memories—for your ship will not hold them, and they cannot support your mission. You can only take with you those things—those ideas, those memories, those attitudes, those beliefs, those possessions, those activities, and those relationships—that can journey with you."

"Increasingly, you will want to keep what is essential, and you will want to discard what is not. Your life is precious and your time is precious. What is essential gives meaning and what is not essential takes meaning away. Then the choices become obvious, and you will have the power to make them."

"Essentially, the New Message will reveal what is essential in your life and in contrast show everything that has been added on that is but a mere distraction or burden for you. This frees the soul. This allows you to meet the deeper need of the soul, which is the deepest of all your needs and which holds the greatest promise for your fulfillment and success in the world."
