Humanity
The Human Family
"It is not that God has failed to help humanity. It is that humanity has failed to hear God. It is not that God does not care about the human condition, the condition of your life and the lives around you. It is that God’s Power and Presence have not been recognized.” [1]
“Humanity cannot now advance because of a rare individual here and there. Many more people must be called by God, must be inspired and must function from a level of compassion, commitment and courage—not because they want it personally, but because it is emerging within them.” [1]
“The world needs many saints now, not just a few. The world needs the gifts of Knowledge through many now, and not just from the few.” [1]
“The future of the world will be dependent upon how many people can respond and follow the power of Knowledge within themselves. They will come from all walks of life. They will come from the slums and the middle class people and the wealthy. They will come from all cultures, from big cities, from small towns, from villages, from farmers and shepherds and from people living in far-flung places of the world. It is the New Message that must activate Knowledge within them, give them the possibility to develop an inner life so that they may respond to the reality, the power, the guidance and the presence of Knowledge.” [1]
The Human Condition
“Your humanity is without meaning unless it serves a greater context and unless it is a part of a greater reality. Without this greater reality, it is more a form of bondage, more a restraint, a confinement and an imposition upon your nature than an affirmation of your nature.” [2] "Human culture, human ethics, human beliefs, human economics, human politics, human relationships, human involvements—these are all human creations. They are not Divine creations." [3]
"Human beliefs, human attitudes, human emotions, human social conventions--all ... keep humanity in a primitive and undeveloped state." [4]
Humanity's Strengths and Weaknesses
"If you could understand the evolution of life in other worlds, you would see how much humanity has achieved, despite its many errors. You would see that religion in this world has actually gone very far." [4]
“Humanity has great strengths. You have not lost your connection to the deeper Knowledge that exists within each person. You have not become a regimented, secular, technological society, which are so common in the universe. You have not lost your freedom or your greater sensibilities entirely though that is being threatened with each passing day.” [5]
"Despite humanity’s long existence in this world, you are a young race—immature, unwary and unsuspecting. You have many great qualities. You have kept spirituality and creativity alive in the world, where they have died in so many other worlds—advanced technological worlds that are sterile and secular, where individual freedom is unknown. You have great promise. But you have great problems, and you have some disabilities as well—the tendency towards human denial. And your tribalism, which has served you in the past, can blind you now." [6]
"Humanity is not the centerpiece of the Creation, only one of its developing aspects. This represents a tremendous breakthrough in understanding. This represents a great threshold in self-realization and the ability to effectively engage with the world." [7]
"Humanity is still brutish. It still thinks the use of force is the great way to achieve your goals." [8]
The Plight of Humanity
"Humanity does not have much time to prepare and to determine what kind of future it will have.... You do not have decades to consider these things, for you have set in motion change in the world now that will accelerate and will be beyond your control and is even today beyond your control." [9]
“Humanity has a great choice it will have to make…and that choice is whether humanity will fight and compete for the remaining resources or whether there will be a greater uniting and cooperation for the benefit of all…It is as if humanity were at the point of choosing the high road or the low road—a path towards unity, cooperation and mutual benefit or a path towards conflict, war and decline.” [10]
Humanity as Viewed from the Greater Community
"[Some extraterrestrial races] consider you brutish and self-destructive, and they seek to gain whatever they can from you before you destroy yourselves." [11]
[These races might say,] “The rich indulge themselves endlessly—in their hobbies, their passions and their plays while the rest of the world sinks into despair, poverty and degradation. Surely, this cannot be a world that will survive as a free race in the universe. Surely, this is a race that will not have the collective wisdom to restrain its activities and to prepare for its future. Surely, this will be an easy prize for those who use cunning and guile to achieve their goals.” [12]
"Do not ever think that this world is owned by anyone else, that any other race in the universe has rights to this world or has any special privilege for visiting this world or can make any claims of ownership to this world or any claims of authorship for human evolution.
This is your planet of origin. It has been given to you by the Creator of the universe with the hope and the desire that you would prosper here and maintain this world as the precious resource that it is. It has been given so that it may sustain you through your difficult phases of development and so that it may sustain you as you emerge into a Greater Community of intelligent life, where such worlds of biological diversity are rare."
