"All those industries that are based upon travel and tourism will shrink or, in some cases, disappear altogether as people are unable to go abroad like that."[1]
"Your freedoms will be restricted because the energy that you take advantage of to travel will really not be there as it has been before."[2]
Meaning and fulfillment
"Meet the person who has been all over the world, who has been to all the great monuments, who is like a living travelogue. Have they reached the deeper current of their life or are they merely addicted to more stimulation? New places to go, new people to meet, as if they are running from themselves all the time, trying to find something they cannot find, searching the desert for meaning because everyone is searching for meaning, you see. That is why they are searching." [3]
"You can change your outer life endlessly, traveling about, always having new experiences. But We are talking about the revolution within—the thing that people will not face, the thing that people will not attend to, the thing that people will avoid, endlessly seeking that which has failed them so many times before."[4]
"God feeds you through the Sacred. If you are not fed, you are hungry. The soul is starving. Even if you are living in splendor, even if you have everything and the freedom to travel, your soul is forever hungry, and that is why you are so dissatisfied." [5]
Visitors to Earth
"You must see that those who are flying around in your skies are not tourists. They are not here on a science project. They are not part of some university project from some other world. They are resource explorers."[6]
Space travel
"Do not think there is a lot of tourism in the Greater Community. Perhaps between trading nations there may be. It is the problem of biological hazards. You may travel to another world to visit a museum or some kind of natural feature of that world, but because you are not of that world, there is always the problem of biological contamination. And this problem has not been universally solved." [7]
"Do not, then, look at the Greater Community as a vast resource awaiting your exploration. Do not think that it is a big playground where you can go and enjoy recreation, traveling around as a tourist, having adventures and so forth. These motivations all demonstrate that you do not take your life seriously and do not recognize the greater opportunity your life is giving you to discover your deeper inclinations and to find a greater fulfillment here." [8]
Spiritual Tourism
"Those who know carry the presence with them. And this presence has been able to grow because they have not been indiscreet. They have not tried to use their experience for personal gain. Instead, they have let it grow stronger and more intense within themselves. This gives them a sense of presence. You will not find this in idle dabblers or in people who are like tourists in a spiritual universe."[9]
