"The reality of the Greater Community will require all of Earth’s religions to re-evaluate their positions and to greatly modify their ideologies." [1]
Directives
"Do not think that by believing in a religious ideology that you are going to be saved." [2]
Ideology and Knowledge
"There is a great difference between the manifestation of religion—and all of its great edifices and pronouncements, its admonitions, its ideology, its cosmology, its theology—and the Mystery that lives within each person, waiting to be discovered." [3]
"If your intention is pure, you will follow something without coming to great conclusions, without proclaiming yourself and without formulating a new ideology that is really a human creation." [2]
"Believing in God or believing in a human ideology of God or trying to emulate what that teaching prescribes will not really be effective if you cannot gain a fundamental relationship with Knowledge." [3]
"Many people claim to have a “natural religion,” but it ends up becoming very unnatural because they have substituted their primary and primal relationship with Knowledge with a set of beliefs and ideology, a system of thought, a religious institution. Belief now becomes their main focus instead of a deeper experience, which transcends the limits of belief and is far more powerful, strong and permanent than any belief could ever be." [3]
"Knowledge is here for people from all walks of life, all religions, all ideologies because every ideology has some value and merit, but only Knowledge within you and within others can use this merit and this value." [4]
"Instead of trying to make life fit into your ideology, to make everything squeeze into your limited understanding, you begin to follow the power and the presence of Knowledge within you." [2]
"You value change in the physical reality, but you do not yet see the power of continuity that exists in the deeper well of your mind, in the deeper intelligence within you and in the presence of this intelligence in life. It exists throughout the universe. It is not changed by the change of culture or environment or by the evolution of one race or its social structure, its fantasies and mythologies, its political ideologies or even its religious beliefs."[5]
"You can begin to see here again why Knowledge is such a threat, for a person who is engaged with this reality begins to differentiate from the normal structured patterns of life and is now able to function more creatively with greater discernment. Their mind is free from the governance of societies, political structures, ideology or nationalism. They are now a free-thinking individual, an individual who is guided by an Unseen Power that is beyond the grasp and comprehension of the state and beyond the grasp and comprehension of many religious institutions as well."[5]
The New Revelation and ideology
"The Revelation is beyond the realm and the reach of the intellect. It is beyond the realm and reach of beliefs and ideology. For God does not create belief. God does not create ideology. God only gives you wisdom and clarity and a high standard to live by. You are either able to adopt these things, or you are not." [6]
Not ideology: necessity
"Now you must move to a world community. This is not based upon ideology. This is not based upon theory or social science. This is based upon necessity, for the world’s resources are diminishing, and the world’s climate is changing." [7]
“The emphasis in the world is still on growth, on expansion. Whole economic systems are based upon growth and access to ever-greater amounts of resources. This cannot continue. That is why the change at hand is so monumental, so fundamental and far-reaching."[8]
A reconsideration of all ideology
"Eventually, all the religions of the world will have to reconsider their beliefs and positions regarding God, in light of the Greater Community. This is one of the reasons that religions do not deal with this subject or have been very reluctant regarding it, for it will prove that their assumptions are incomplete or in many cases incorrect. This will require a complete revision of their beliefs and ideology."[1]
