베품에 관한 짧은 인용문

"Greater gifts will begin to emerge from you that are natural for you to give, that you were meant to give, that were put inside of you before you came into this world—gifts the world needs, for it is not only individuals who are impoverished, it is all of humanity."

"Instead of running around one day, go through everything you own and imagine what a wonderful thing it is to have these things and that you can acquire such things and that you can give them away to others who might need them."

지시문

"If you want to know God, you need to feed people, take care of people, take care of nature, restore the natural world, offset the great damage that has been done, prepare humanity to face the Great Waves of Change, to face ecological decline, to face the loss of fundamental resources, prepare humanity to face the reality of Intervention from predatory races in the Universe who are here to take advantage of human weakness and ignorance. Take care of the person next door—whatever it is that Knowledge leads you to do at whatever level. There is no grandiosity here. There is no personal fame. There is no sainthood. Renounce these things. They do not represent a pure motive."

베푸는 즐거움에 관한 인용문

"Knowledge will put you in the position to discover and to express your unique gifts and will give you the criteria upon which to determine who to be with in your life and how to participate with them."

"Here you are not merely wanting, expecting, demanding and complaining, you are putting yourself to the task of finding and following a deeper and more profound direction in life. You are serving those things you know you must serve. Without the mere intention of enriching yourself or giving yourself prestige or dominance over others, you are serving from a pure motivation. And this gives you strength, and this gives you determination, and this gives you perseverance of a kind that personal ambition alone could never provide."

무모한 베품

"So many people" ... "have cast their allegiance to other things, an allegiance that really belongs to Knowledge. Perhaps they are very committed and dutiful in their allegiances, but they use them to give their life focus and balance and purpose because you cannot live without purpose of some kind, for purpose is life itself."

타협적 베품

"This is where people tend to feel threatened and withdraw because they want to have everything but give very little of themselves. Even their giving is to make themselves richer."

“You do not give to get here. You do not give to assure yourself a future of recognition and rewards. That kind of calculated giving is the machination of your mind, of your social mind, of your mind at the surface of life, a mind that wants to survive, a mind that is insecure, a mind that seeks wealth and power and substantiation and affirmation.”

베품과 목적

"God is trying to free you so you can be in the world and have the power that God has given you to express in this world, so that your true gifts may come forward, and that you may find where these gifts are to be given, and so that you may find the people who will help you to give them and who will honor them and value them."

"Knowledge within you is telling you where to go, what to do, what to give yourself to, what not to give yourself to, where to move forward and where to hold back. It is doing this on a daily basis, but most people are far too preoccupied and caught up with themselves and have too much resistance to their own experience to hear and follow this natural inner guidance that the Creator of all life has given them."

세상의 부름

"That which is difficult in the world will bring to you your calling, reveal to you where you must give yourself and the service you must provide."

"If you have failed to make your rendezvous, later in life, if you make this discovery, there is a second redemption. And that is to give to others—to share your wealth, to share your time and to share whatever you can in service to meeting real needs of both people and of nature around you. This is the second redemption. It is not as powerful and fulfilling as the first, but it is significant and will be effective. Those who have been driven through all of their life can find themselves at the end with the opportunity to give, to be benefactors—benefactors with wealth, if they have wealth; benefactors of time, if they have time; benefactors of care, if they have the strength to do this. So there is a second redemption."

베품에 관한 다른 인용문

“Remember that all communication has a pure source of giving at its core. Everything is a gift or an attempt at a gift. Everything that is said or done represents this and, though giving in the world has been denied and greatly distorted, the source of the giving remains true and uncontaminated.”

“If Knowledge is not the guiding principle in your motives, then you will not be able to bring about a spiritual transmission.”
