Hazard

Directives

"To be watchful for hazards, problems and opportunities as they arise is not something you just do once in a while. It is actually part of your spiritual practice, something around which you develop a set of skills."

Like an icy stream

"The world is a beautiful place, particularly this world, a jewel in the universe of barren worlds. But the world is also a hazardous place, a place of many perils, a place of many difficulties."

"Earth has been looked at as an extremely hazardous, though rich, environment by those very few races who are even aware of its existence."

No techno-fixes

"Technology does not erase all the hazards of life and, in many cases, has increased those hazards significantly."

Extremely hazardous times

"Humanity now is on a reckless course. It is destroying its self-sufficiency in the world. It is endangering the natural balances that have given humanity such a beautiful and splendid world in which to evolve and to live. This is hazardous not only for your future in this world, but also hazardous regarding your relationships with other races in the universe."

"While these times are extremely dangerous and hazardous, they provide the optimum environment for you to discover your greater strengths and with this, a set of greater relationships."

"The hazards that a young adult person faces in the world—the seductions they will face, the influences they will face, the restraints they will have to deal with—are very much like humanity’s position in space now. You will have to face restraints, influences, seductions and difficulties."
