“He brings the Revelation that can save humanity from collapse within the world and from the risk of subjugation from beyond the world.” [1]
"For it is the Greater Community that will finally persuade your nations to cooperate, to unite for the preservation of the world and the protection of the human family."[2]
The unthinkable risk
"Humanity is emerging into a Greater Community of life in the universe because others are here to seek influence and domination of a world of great value and importance." [3]
Already humanity is moving into a position of extreme powerlessness in the universe. For once you lose your self-sufficiency, once you cannot provide for yourself, your position is weak and untenable and subject to all manner of persuasion and manipulation.
This is how the world will be given away, you see. A weak and disheartened humanity, weakened by conflict and war, weakened by deprivation, weakened by human corruption and ignorance, will turn to its new masters, unaware that it is giving over its own freedom and destiny to powers that it does not understand.
You may think this is impossible. 'It cannot happen,' you say. But it has happened countless times in the Greater Community as young emerging races have depleted their worlds so severely that they must now beg and plead for others to come and to intervene, opening the door for the worst kind of intrusions to take place.”[4]
The warning
“This is the great warning that the New Message is presenting. The Great Waves of change are coming into the world and humanity is now facing competition from beyond the world.” [5]
The imperative
“There is no safety and security now to hide behind or to relinquish your strength to. For what security will there be in pretending that there is not a great challenge, holding onto what little you have, attaching yourself to whatever gives you a temporary sense of security and well-being? What security will there be? What will not be challenged? What will not be vulnerable to the Great Waves of change?”[6]
“You have a pressing need to elevate yourself, to unify your race, to restore your environment and to speak as one voice in the Greater Community. This seems like a great challenge—perhaps impossible, you say, and not achievable. Humanity has never done anything even close to this. So why would it rise to the occasion now? What will give it the strength and fortitude to enable it to achieve something that seems almost insurmountable given human nature and behavior at this time? What will do this is the presence of the Greater Community.” [7]
“For humanity to become unified, individuals must become unified, within themselves and with other people. This is how a new fabric of unity is established. The great tapestry of life is woven strand by strand, person by person. Do not think another will do this for you. Do not think such great things are only left up to people who are great, who are heroes or heroines, for this is your responsibility. This is your calling—not to gain spiritual immunity, not to become all knowing or all powerful, but to join your mind with other minds in Knowledge, to become stronger than you are or ever could be as an individual.” [8]
“This is the great threshold, and you must have the strength, the heart and the courage to face it and to realize you do not have an answer. You cannot figure this out yourself. You do not have all of the necessary information or the necessary perspective. That is why the Creator of all life is bringing this New Revelation into the world—to prepare humanity for the Great Waves of change and to prepare humanity for the realities of life in the Greater Community. Humanity has a great destiny. Its destiny is to become a free and self-determined race in the universe. But in order to fulfill this destiny, you must become strong, united and determined. You must realize that your isolation in the universe is over, and that henceforth you will have to contend with those forces who seek to persuade you to become reliant upon them, who will seek to undermine your self-confidence, who will seek to establish their influence here in the world—in a world where they cannot live.”[9]
