Directives
You must hear this message with your heart, and you must feel this message in your heart. If you think about it, you may want to dismiss it because it seems either too uncomfortable, too strange, too alien, too challenging or too difficult. [1]
Practices
With this objectivity [of the Greater Mind], you will be able to determine those thoughts and patterns of thought that are helpful and those that are hindrances to you. You will be able to release your thoughts and be free of them because you are no longer a servant of your mind. Your mind now is a servant of Knowledge. [2]
Short Quotes
Those who have intellectual pride, those who think they are intelligent and clever, those who think they can discern everything, those who think they know the truth, those who think they know what honesty is—this is the hypocrisy that will be revealed in the light of God’s Power and Presence in the world. [3]
What people think and where the world is going are not the same. [4]
Long Quotes
God has spoken again.
The Messenger is in the world.
It is a great test for humanity as to who can see and who can respond.
Here you will see what is really important. It will not be intellectual brilliance. It will not be eloquence or beauty or charm or the force of personality, for people who possess these things may be the last to see and the last to know.
They are dressed up in the obsessions of the world, and these things will not enable them to see. It happens at a deeper level.
This is the great test. This is where you see at the time of Revelation who can respond and the nature of their response and the purity and clarity of their response.
In the light of the Creator, all deception is revealed and demonstrated. People’s true intentions become evident. [5]
"The past Revelations of the Creator cannot prepare you for the Great Waves of change.
They cannot prepare you for your destiny in the Greater Community.
They cannot prepare you for the great thresholds that are now upon you and will be upon you increasingly.
You do not have answers in the face of these things.
That is why the Revelation is being given, for humanity now needs to be advised and warned, blessed and given the preparation for a future that will be unlike the past.
Hear these words, not with your intellect but with your heart." [6]
