Supporting the Message and the Messenger
Assisting the Messenger
"Your support and recognition are vitally important, for when you leave this life and you return to your Spiritual Family, they will ask you if you knew the Message and the Messenger, did you support the Messenger we have sent? And you will know instantly what they are referring to, and you will know instantly how you must respond." [1]
Studying the New Message
"Being a student of the New Message means that you support the New Message being in the world, and as you advance, you will be able to share its wisdom with others and to support and assist the great Messenger who has been sent here." [2]
"You will need instruction. You will need to accept that other people are more advanced than you are and, without glorifying them, deifying them or making them your sole focus, you can learn to receive from them and to support them. Learning from a teacher involves several things. It involves receiving, evaluation and application. It also involves supporting that individual, which is your form of giving to them. Particularly in The Way of Knowledge, real teachers of Knowledge rely upon this, for they are giving their life to this service and they are worthy of generous support. Do not bargain with your support, but give what you know you have to give. Then there will be no inequality and no uncertainty in the relationship." [3]
Giving financially
"Live simply. Only own that which you need and perhaps a few little things for your personal enjoyment. Fundamentally, own only what you truly need and there will be no confusion, and you will not have to work too hard for money. Give money to support those things that inspire you. They require support, and you need to support them to experience your relationship with them." [4]
