"God has given you the eyes to see and the ears to hear, but this must be guided by [[Knowledge]]. Your intellect must be guided by Knowledge. Your life must be guided by Knowledge—now more than ever. As circumstances become more difficult and the world grows darker, this is the time for Knowledge to emerge. This is the time of Revelation. This is the point where the future and the destiny of humanity is decided and determined, by the decisions made by individuals and the decisions made by you." | "God has given you the eyes to see and the ears to hear, but this must be guided by [[Knowledge]].

“From a greater standpoint, from a standpoint of Creation, destiny is everything. But it is not a destiny you created. It is the destiny that God has given you. It is why you are here.

"Your destiny is to emerge into [[the Greater Community]] of Worlds. This is a process that will take several centuries overall, but the change within the scope of your life will be very rapid, and the challenge to human society will be immense. We introduce the idea of the Greater Community so that you can begin to think about this greater context of life and begin to understand and accept it as a governing fact of your life. It represents your destiny. Destiny must move you forward, whether you are willing or not, whether you can yield or not, whether you can learn or not. The results of destiny are in your hands, but the process itself is not." | "Your destiny is to emerge into [[the Greater Community]] of Worlds.

“The meaning of your being here is entirely defined by where you have come from and where you are going.” [2]
"You receive great gifts as you fulfill and experience your destiny." [3]

It is why your personality has been shaped the way it is. It is perfect for your true vocation in life, a vocation you have likely not found yet.” [5]

This is a process that will take several centuries overall, but the change within the scope of your life will be very rapid, and the challenge to human society will be immense. We introduce the idea of the Greater Community so that you can begin to think about this greater context of life and begin to understand and accept it as a governing fact of your life. It represents your destiny. Destiny must move you forward, whether you are willing or not, whether you can yield or not, whether you can learn or not.

Quotes About Personal Destiny

“You cannot change that which was put in place before you came into the world. Though the events of the day and of the year change your circumstances and alter your opportunities, your destiny is still the same.” [8]
“Once God has made God’s mark upon you, then it is not like you can erase it from your life or cover it up or make it go away or explain it or rationalize it to yourself so that its power is diminished. You are going to contend with the Revelation for you?” [8]
“Knowledge within you wants to keep you alive so that you have a chance to fulfill your destiny in the world. It will do everything it can to gain your attention and to guide you.” [9]
"You are destined to meet certain people in life. You have a rendezvous with them. They will be guided to meet you as you are being guided to meet them. These relationships are really not based upon past worldly experience, but are a part of a Plan that was established before you came into the world, a Plan that has been created to make it possible for you to discover higher purpose in your life." [10]
"If you take the steps to Knowledge, you will reach your true destiny and your true destination.

And no amount of therapy or consolation will offset the discomfort that you will feel within yourself.

"How your purpose will be expressed depends upon the changing circumstances of the world. So in this not all things are pre-determined, certainly not. Your success or failure is not only based upon your participation, but on the participation and readiness of others who are destined to play a significant role in your life.

Greater Community Destiny
"Recognizing that you have a connection to life in the universe is very important here and will be part of the exploration within these teachings. Without this deeper connection, the universe would be too awesome, too immense, too complicated, too difficult and too threatening. It would produce only insecurity and confusion for you. But speaking to the deeper part of you enables you to gain recognition and a sense of your destiny within the Greater Community itself. For regardless of the difficulties that you face in your own world and the difficulties in establishing proper and wise engagements with races from beyond your world, there is the fundamental reality that the human family has a destiny in space. You have a destiny to engage with other races, a destiny to grow and, with the proper education and understanding and with your own native wisdom, the possibility of being a free and self-determined race in a vast and difficult universe."
