Short Quotes
The Mystery—the transference of Knowledge and the reuniting of ancient bonds—is something that is beyond the intellectual understanding of anyone. It must be experienced.
The Mystery will exceed your understanding, always. When you can be immersed in the Mystery, you can represent the Mystery.
- Greater Community Spirituality, chaps. 8, 10; pp. 87-88, 113
Long Quotes
The Mystery is the source of everything important.
All the great inventions and contributions,
The great relationships,
The great experiences,
They all come from the Mystery,
Who you are,
Why you are here,
What is calling you,
Your greater association,
Your destiny with certain people in the world,
Your ability to find your way
While everyone around you
Is sleeping, dreaming and unresponsive.
This is a journey you must take
Or your life will be a troubled dream
And no more.
- The Engagement (April 16, 2011)
Its Source is beyond the physical reality,
For who you are is beyond the physical reality.
Where you are going ultimately is beyond the physical reality,
But you are meant to be here,
For you have been sent here for a purpose.
That is the Mystery.
- The Engagement (April 16, 2011)
People do not see, they do not hear. They are strangers to themselves. And their native skills of discerning the environment, for many, have been lost and are undeveloped.
This makes the Messenger’s task more difficult. He must carry the Mystery, for the Revelation is beyond the realm of the intellect and certainly is not conditioned by people’s expectations, beliefs or comprehension.
- God Is Moving Humanity in a New Direction (April 22, 2011)
Entering the Mystery takes great faith—faith in yourself, faith in Knowledge and faith in the Greater Power of the universe that has sent you here. This faith is necessary at the outset. It is the thing that you need before real certainty can be developed and relied upon on a consistent basis. Here you learn to rely upon the Mystery and not upon tangible things. Here you ask the Mystery to give you that which you need in the tangible world rather than asking the tangible world to give you what you need to function in the world of Mystery.
You will find this [presence] in those who have had to face their own thresholds, who have had to cross their own rivers and who have had to experience and face their own doubts and fears and wasteful consequences of their mistakes. These are people who are following something inexplicable that they do not attempt to define or use. Their silence is profound and inviting. They are with the Mystery. And the Mystery is with them. Through them a greater Knowledge, a greater comfort and a Greater Power can emerge and abide.... Someone who is with the Mystery can share the Mystery without words, without conversation, without debate and without self-glorification. They are with the Mystery and the Mystery is with them.
