"Responsibility is your ability to respond."
Excerpts
"You are entering the age of human responsibility and cooperation. You must be a part of this, or your life will be wasted." [1]
"God is requiring you to be competent and effective and powerful and self-determined in this world to accomplish the tasks that are yours to accomplish. It is not about surrendering and becoming pliable, and you’re just going to be there until God wants you to do something. That is ridiculous. That is a kind of spiritual welfare." [2]
"It is not a time to believe in a great leader, an emancipator, a savior. Humanity is going to have to save itself now. One individual would only polarize the population, setting greater human conflict, setting the stage for a war against the believers and the non-believers. No, the calling must be for the individual now, for the world will need many saviors, many guided and inspired individuals, or human civilization could fail, and that failure could be the most terrible thing that could happen to the human family." [3]
"It is a dangerous time, but for you, it is the right time to be in the world, for this is why you have come—not to hide out in fantasy, not to enrich yourself, not to pretend to be something you are not, not to live a life of avoidance and irresponsibility, but to be in the world to be of service to the world at this time, not only to meet the current needs of life, but to prepare for the future itself.
Only Knowledge within you, the greater intelligence, knows of these things, and it must guide you in these matters. You must learn to yield to it and distinguish it from all the other voices in your mind and all the influences that pull upon you from the world around you." [3]
