"The quietness of Knowledge is your certainty, the voice of Knowledge is your certainty and the movement of Knowledge is your certainty." [1]
"Knowledge ... is the source of all certainty in the
world."
[2]
Excerpts
"Learning The Greater Community Way of Knowledge takes you to a greater certainty within you. You cannot rely upon your ideas or your conclusions, for they may be true in this moment but not true in the next." [3]
"Beyond the beliefs and assumptions which mask your own
fear and uncertainty, there exists for you a true foundation in
the world."
[4]
"Because Knowledge does not vacillate, it is a source of certainty,
consistency and stability for you."
[5]
"Your fearlessness in the future must not be
born of pretense, but born of your certainty in Knowledge."
[6]
"As you come closer to Knowledge, you enter certainty,
confirmation and a world of reality and purpose."
[7]
"With Knowledge you will know what to do, and your
certainty will be so strong that it will be difficult for you to
doubt it or to argue against it."
[8]
"Stillness ... is a gift because
it is an expression of certainty and peace."
[9]
"Your ability to follow that which is beyond your
comprehension, which is necessary here, will lead you to the greatest
possible certainty that life can render to you. Through this certainty,
your ideas, your actions and your perceptions will gain a uniformity
that will allow them to be a powerful expression in the world, where
humanity is confused and lost in the ambivalence of imagination."
[10]
"You are either a student of certainty or a student
of ambivalence."
[11]
"You
think the world’s problems are complex. You think your future
and your destiny are complex. This is because you have lived in
imagination and have attempted to resolve questions without certainty."
