Metaphors for the new world
"The transition between the world you have today, which is crumbling, and the future world that is your greater promise is a great gulf.
It is as if you were standing at the edge of a great chasm and you were looking across the chasm to the other side, wondering how you were going to get there. There is no magic lift that is going to lift you over this chasm. There is no bridge that is going to appear magically to take you there. You are going to have to climb down into this chasm, go through it and find the way up the other side."[1]
"For humanity has already turned a corner some time ago, and now it will have to face the consequences of diminishing resources in so many areas."[2]
"It is as if you had descended down into a deep ravine or canyon and God has sent down ladders to help you climb out. But if you do not climb out, you are still stuck there. You cannot wish yourself out. God is not going to just elevate you someday and erase all your errors. And belief will not bring you out because belief is not true yet unless it is guided by Knowledge.[3]
