The Greater Plan

"The Plan of God must account for the needs of many different kinds of beings in many different kinds of environments."

"God is not reserved for the one in ten million. God’s Plan includes all and guarantees fulfillment and advancement in this reality that you live in."

Participation in the Plan

"Your contribution ... will be part of a greater collaboration that you will make in meaningful relationships with individuals and with small groups of people. This sets everything in motion in very specific ways because this represents the Greater Plan for life, a Plan that was always intended for humanity and which now is entering a new stage. If you read and understand human history with this greater perspective, you will see it has always been geared towards ascendancy in the world and participation in the Greater Community."

"God does not know you personally. God does not come from far away to help you out personally. Yet God serves you personally because of God’s Plan."

"Because of the evolution of life, God serves you specifically in every stage you are in. One step ahead of you in your Spiritual Family are your elders who lead and instruct you. They are led and instructed, and so on and so forth. God is the attraction. The Plan is the means.You feel God. God is like a great attraction pulling you. God is pulling everything in."

"Knowledge is a gift that you have, but it is also your True Being. It has a plan for your life already and once activated, it will begin to exert itself in a much more direct way.You will realize you do not need the burden of decision, for increasingly Knowledge will motivate you, guide you and direct you, gracefully but powerfully."

"God’s intention is to free everyone here so that they may return to their natural Home. So, instead of making the world a perfect place for your separation to exist, God has set in motion the forces to break your separation down."

Self-directed plans and the Greater Plan

"People have so often set ultimate goals for their spiritual growth and have attempted to live by them. Very presumptuous and damaging this is, for failure is inevitable. It is not in the Plan that you should fail by overshooting your true goals in life."

"Knowledge is with you. It has its own destiny and its own path. You may pull yourself this way and that, but you cannot convince the deeper aspect of yourself to participate. You see, the resolution to your problems is always quite simple, but your approach to the resolution is quite complex."

"You cannot say,'Give me the blueprint and I will carry it out,' because, you see, you only have part of the blueprint. Your Teachers have part of the blueprint. People in your life have part of the blueprint. People you have not even met yet have part of the blueprint.mTherefore, do not be idealistic and say,'Tell me the plan and I will go forward. Tell me who I will be and I will prepare now.'”

Metaphors

"God has already established a Plan and you cannot change it. So, there is a Plan in motion already. Not only can you not change it, you cannot even understand it. For you to understand God’s Plan, you would have to have God’s mind, which at this moment you do not have. It is like little children trying to understand why their parents go away every day to work.You do not understand.You have not achieved that level of participation. A relative reality cannot appreciate an absolute reality, even though the relative reality is moving towards the absolute.You are moving towards the absolute."
