"You must now become responsible and utilize the skills and the power the Creator has given you in service to a world of increasing need, turbulence and upheaval. Do not prostrate yourself to the Creator if you are unwilling to carry out what you were sent here to do, if you cannot take the Steps to Knowledge, if you have the arrogance to think you can determine your fate and your destiny and fulfillment."

The Crises determining the fate of human civilization
"Humanity’s two great challenges will determine the fate and the future of everyone in the world, the fate and future of all the nations of peoples, the condition of the world itself and whether humanity will be able to maintain its sovereignty in this world."[10]
"Time is of the essence because humanity is degrading the world so severely that it will determine the fate of human civilization. Humanity is facing Intervention from the universe and is unprepared. These are the greatest events in human history, but people are unaware. They are living in a dream. It is a time of the greatest importance. It is the time you have chosen to be here. It is the time when your contribution must be discovered, honestly. It is the time of Revelation.” [11]
"Humanity is following the path that many nations have always followed—depleting their home worlds and then becoming prone to seduction by forces in the Greater Community. For once you enter these great networks of trade, your destiny will be determined by others.
