Expediency
"Conformity and obedience mixed with political expediency have given rise to many of the ideals and precepts which seem to affect most people’s thinking here." [1]
"Are people guided by Knowledge or simply swayed by the political and social forces around them? Are decisions made merely out of expediency and for immediate profit, or are they engaged with the future in mind—the future well-being of humanity?" [2]
"You are in the stage of undoing, the stage of dismantling what you have created that is not true, that is not authentic, that does not represent your heart and soul. You built these things out of convenience, or expediency, or pressured by the expectations of others, or the belief you could only be happy and have meaningful relationships if you acquired such things and such status." [3]
"Only the confirmation of another, a genuine confirmation, can substantiate the experience of Knowledge within yourself. For you to recognize and to value this confirmation, there must be a foundation of trust. And this trust must be firm and solid. It cannot merely be an expediency." [4]
