"There are some people who believe that everything that happens to them is the result of their own creativity, however misguided. But what they fail to see is that everyone else has created their reality too, and that the impact in the mental environment—the environment of thought and influence—is so much immensely greater by what everyone else is creating than what you individually can create, that to think that you can produce all these results for yourself simply by directing the will and the power of the mind is to ignore the will and the power of all other minds.

"This assumption then certainly reinforces and is based on the belief in separation. It does not take into account the effect that minds have on one another. It does not recognize the impact and the influence of the mental environment. Though it may proclaim that everyone has the potential to recreate their experience, it does not take into account the fact that the mental environment is completely dominating for most people, to the point where very few people even have original thoughts. They are simply recycling all the influence that they are absorbing and have been absorbing since the day they were born. And because human beings are essentially social creatures, they will always tend to associate with whatever group they identify with, whatever group they think is giving them promise, purpose, meaning and security".--The Gift (March 31, 2007)

"People are lost, thinking they can create their own pathway, by borrowing from this or borrowing from that. But only God knows the way to return. You cannot create your own way, based upon human preference and human admonition." --God’s New Message for the World’s Religions] (January 23, 2015)

"Who you are and what you are here to do are directly related to what the world is and what the world needs. People do not understand this because they think that they are creating their own reality, and so their idea of Higher Purpose is what they would ultimately like to do, the thing that would be the most fun and enjoyable. But your Higher Purpose will never be found in this because you must re-establish relationship with life to find your purpose here. There is no purpose in the world of imagination. Though you may devote all of your life and all of your resources to trying to be, do and have what looks most appealing, you are in fact designed for something else. When you come to that threshold where you want to give yourself to others and give yourself to life, when you realize that you cannot fulfill yourself alone and that there is no fulfillment in a self-determined life, then you will hear your Spiritual Family, and the Unseen Ones will come close to you, for you are waking from a long and troubled dream. Then the power of the universe will respond to you, for you are responding to it." --Living The Way of Knowledge, Chapter 11: Preparing for the Future

As revealed to God's Messenger
Marshall Vian Summers
January 23, 2015
in Jerusalem, Israel

Today We shall speak on God's New Revelation and the world's religions.

First you must understand that God has initiated all the great religions of the world and in each case has sent a Messenger from the Angelic Assembly to initiate these traditions at the outset.

All the great Messengers have come from the Assembly, so they are intrinsically united, you see. They have all been sent by the Source, your Source and the Source of all the world’s religions.

But living in Separation, people have separated the religions from one another and even internally—separating everything that was meant to be united, misunderstanding the meaning and the value of the Messengers and what they were really presenting.

But this limitation is understood by God, for you cannot understand God’s religion was meant to be a building block in humanity’s development and evolution, preparing humanity for a future that would be unlike the past.

The great Revelations were given at pivotal times in human history, times not only of change and challenge, but times of great opportunity when these Revelations could spread. They were placed in certain places for this purpose, places where the Message could move beyond one tribe or one group or one nation, at times of opportunity greater than what anyone could see in the moment.

Here you must understand that the world’s religions are all part of a Greater Plan. And while they are distinct from one another in certain ways, their distinction represents their unique contribution to the growing wisdom and compassion and ethics of the human family.

For God knows that not everyone can follow one Teaching or one Teacher or even one interpretation. Living in Separation, you do not yet have the skill and the development to do this. And if one interpretation is forced upon the people, it becomes a form of oppression and is counterproductive in that way.

What We are telling you here today is very different from how religion is regarded and used in this world and, in fact, how it is regarded and used throughout the universe. For all who live in the physical reality are living in Separation—separation from their Source and from the timeless reality from which all have come and to which all eventually will return. This is beyond human comprehension and certainly beyond any possibility of a religious understanding.

This greater understanding now of the unity of the world’s religions, the unity of their Source and intention, is vital because they all must now play a part in building human cooperation to face a world in decline—a world of environmental disruption, a world of growing economic and social disruption, a reality that the human family has never had to face before, a reality created by humanity’s misuse of the world and its contamination of your air, your water and your soils, which now has the power to undermine human civilization and create a human tragedy unlike anything that has ever been seen here before, greater than all of your wars combined it is.

For the Great Waves of change are coming, and they have already begun. The world will become hotter. Crops will fail. Water will dry up or become flooding in certain places. The world’s economy will be shaken by this. And the livelihoods of the people will be shaken by this.

That is why God has spoken again. And that is why God must address the condition of the world’s religions because they are in contention with each other, and even internally divided. And religious violence is now growing in the world and will grow further as the Great Waves of change impact more and more people, depriving them of their security, depriving them of their foundation for living here.

The world’s religions are all given as building blocks of human civilization. Each block is not like another. Each block is unique, bringing something unique to humanity’s understanding and perspective. But to see this, you must see beyond your desire for Separation, where you try to make everything unique and separate to validate yourself and your ideas.

We are giving you the Will of Heaven here and how Heaven looks at the world’s religions, as the spokes of a wheel, around the central axis of the Creator. They are all rivers moving towards the same sea. They appear to be separate and unique in their features, in their landscapes, but they are all leading to the same outcome.

To see this, you will have to change your religious beliefs and adjust your understanding, for there is not one religion for all, for that can never be. God knows this even though the people are still confused.

There is no final Revelation because God has more to say to the world as humanity is now facing thresholds it has never had to face before, standing at the threshold of space, encountering others from the universe who are here in the world to undermine human authority and sovereignty here.

You are living in a condition never seen before in the history of human civilization. You are at a new juncture. And the world’s religions cannot prepare you for this. They were not given for this purpose, given in antiquity.

A new building block must be given now to complete the picture and to carry it forward so that humanity may be prepared for its new future and to live in a New World environment, where human cooperation and unity will be necessary for humanity’s survival and well-being.

God’s New Revelation, therefore, must bring great correction and clarification and will challenge many of the fundamental ideas and beliefs that separate the world’s religions and place them in contention with one another. For their fundamental unity is because of their Source and the intention of their Source in providing them at critical turning points for humanity.

They are all there, giving their unique service to humanity. And people are called to participate in one of them. For in this matter, you cannot simply create your own pathway, for the great pathways have been given.

But because they have been misused and misunderstood, subject to human adoption and corruption, many people have turned away in dismay and confusion and disappointment, seeing how the religions of the world have been used as banners of war and used to suppress peoples cruelly, ignorantly, foolishly, against the Will of the Creator.

Many people have turned away from the traditions that are meant to serve them. And now people are lost, thinking they can create their own pathway, by borrowing from this or borrowing from that. But only God knows the way to return. You cannot create your own way, based upon human preference and human admonition.

People have been assigned to one of the great traditions, but now they are alienated from it, cast out into the world with all of its persuasions, its denigration, its harshness, its cruelty.

Therefore, great clarification must be brought to the world’s religions or they will continue to divide humanity, each claiming to be exclusive, each claiming to have dominance or God’s preference over others, filled with ambitious people, adopted by governments for their own purposes.

Let it be understood then that religion can never be used as a banner of war or a justification for cruelty, torture, punishment or death. This all represents humanity’s misuse of the great religions and the misunderstanding of their purpose in building human unity, human values and human ethics.

War and punishment is done for other reasons. Never claim that God justifies or has directed such things. This is a grave misunderstanding. To harm others in the name of God is a crime against God and God’s Will and Purpose, and God’s intention regarding the establishment of the great traditions.

You can see here from what We tell you today that this is very different from what people proclaim about their religions, what they believe or are taught to believe. For they have become corrupted, one and all, in certain ways.

For a Christian not to help a Muslim or a Muslim not to help a Jew or a Jew not to help a Hindu represents the core problem. Now religion is part of the problem and not part of the solution as it was intended, as it was always intended.

Fundamentally, all the religions are here to bring you to the Knowledge that God has placed within you to guide you and to begin a process of redemption that would be carried out step by step in your life and circumstances if you were able to follow this guidance correctly.

It will require great compassion and forgiveness. It will require for you to see your life and others in a different way and not fall prey to the seductions of hatred and discrimination.

There is always a distinction between the Will of Heaven and the understanding of people. But to bridge this gap within yourself, you must take the Steps to this Knowledge that We speak of. For it represents the part of you that has never left God and can receive the Will of God for you, specifically.

In this, you will not be in contention with others because Knowledge within you is not in contention with Knowledge in others.

It is the beliefs of the mind. It is the social and religious conditioning of the mind. It is your preferences, your anger and your unforgiveness that stand in the way of this greater recognition, which would liberate you from so much of your suffering and sense of unworthiness.

So God must speak again to prepare you for the Great Waves of change coming to the world. God must speak again to prepare you for your encounter with a universe full of intelligent life, a non-human universe where freedom is so rare.

And God must speak again to bring correction and clarification to the world’s religions so that they may have a chance to fulfill their true purpose and destiny here, which is to generate greater cooperation and unity, forgiveness and compassion amongst the tribes and nations of the world.

They are all meant to serve in this capacity in their unique ways and to provide unique perspectives and understanding to balance each other and to lead humanity back to their primary relationship with God.

Here you must understand that the Messengers are not gods. They all come from the Angelic Assembly. Half holy, half human they are, greater than any other person in the world in this respect. But you cannot worship them. You cannot appeal to them for favors and dispensations. This you must appeal to God directly.

All that We are telling you here today will require much consideration. And many people will reject these things to defend their beliefs and ideas and investment in their religious perspective or their social or religious position in society. They will be blind to the God that they proclaim that they follow.

For if you cannot receive God’s New Revelation, what does that mean about your relationship with God? It means you have a relationship with humanity’s understanding of God, but your relationship with God is not yet strong enough to override these things.

It is a great challenge at the time of Revelation. Whenever this has happened, perhaps once in a millennium, it is always a great challenge for the recipient.

Can they listen anew? Can they respond? Can they step beyond their beliefs and the things that circumscribe them? Do they have the heart and will to know the truth beyond human ideology?

For no religious understanding in the world can encompass the Purpose and Plan of God in this world, let alone the universe beyond you, a universe so great and vast your intellect is far too small to even comprehend it.

We are telling you these things so that the true purpose and initiation of the world’s religions can be rekindled and rediscovered. But for this, you must follow the Knowledge that God has placed within you, for your mind is far too conditioned, far too afraid of change, far too limited by your conditioning and for many people, far too oppressed by poverty and political and religious oppression in the world.

You must appeal to your deeper conscience that God has placed within you at the beginning. This is not to make you a great saint or avatar or a great messenger, but to enable you to discover your unique contribution and service to the world.

Humble it will be. Specific it will be. It is meant for certain people and places and situations. At this moment, you cannot understand this. You can only follow the pathway that Knowledge will lead you into and have the faith to do this and have the self-respect to trust this within yourself and others.

For humanity to survive in the Great Waves of change, for human civilization to remain intact and to grow and expand facing the Great Waves of change, for human freedom and sovereignty to be built and strengthened in the face of intervention from the universe around you, human cooperation and the cooperation of humanity’s religious traditions must be re-established and renewed, beginning with you and your understanding, and your heart and mind.

Look not to others here, for you must bring yourself into alignment with this first. Do not blame and condemn nations and leaders no matter how ignorant they may appear to be, for you must bring your own house into order—your mind, your emotions, your beliefs, your grievances. Allow the healing of God’s New Revelation to liberate you from that which oppresses you and keeps your mind small, living in darkness and confusion.

That is why the Revelation is focused on the individual. For everything that will happen in the future will be based upon the decisions of individuals and what informs those decisions. Will it be the power and the presence of Knowledge within them? Or will it be the forces of persuasion in the world and the darkness of fear, anger and hatred?

The service and giving in the future will be so great. The need will be so great. There will be whole regions of the world where people will be forced to leave. Who will receive them? Who will accept them? They will no longer be able to provide for themselves, for their lands will become barren. And the seas will rise, engulfing their ports and cities in the future. It will be a human need and calamity on a scale never seen.

Do not think this is the Will of God. It is the consequence of how humanity has lived in this paradise that is now being turned into a hellish environment. Step by step, day by day, humanity devouring the world as fast as possible, with no thought of the future, contaminating the air, the water and the soils, with no thought of the future, greedily like locusts upon the land.

This is ignorance. This is foolishness. You can understand what We are saying here. You cannot just live for the moment. You have to prepare for the future in all things. You can understand what We are saying here.

The Will of Heaven is that the world’s religions will all participate in the restoration of humanity, according to the needs of people, not just according to their philosophies or ideologies. Everyone must pitch in to save this ship upon which you all live, for that ship is now taking on water and listing to one side.

This is the purpose of all the world’s religions—feeding people, caring for people, forgiving people, uniting people. There can be no violence or contention between the world’s religions if they are understood correctly. For these acts are a crime against God and God’s Will and intentions for Earth, for you and for all peoples.

Humanity must band together to protect itself from the Great Waves of change that it has created and to prepare for its engagement, its hazardous engagement, with intelligent life from beyond the world.

You will not find this emphasis in the world’s religions unless you search very deeply. You will not see this if you live for the moment only or have your eyes to the past. For religion must be vital today and tomorrow and must prepare itself for the welfare of humanity, understanding that God has created all the world’s religions, and they have all been changed by man.

Now they must return to their Source and to the initial intention that created them and the intention that requires them now to each join in service to the welfare of the peoples of the world, not only to their adherents, but to all peoples. In this, they become true servants of the human family. In this, they return to their initial purpose—the purpose for which they were given.

Only God’s New Revelation for the world has the Power of Heaven to do this [to make this possible]. You may think such a thing is not possible, given where people are associating themselves and how they think and behave. But We are talking about the Will of Heaven here, which can alter the course of human destiny if it can be received, if it can be accepted by enough people in the world.

Many will fight against this, of course, because that always happens at times of Revelation. It all depends on who can receive the Will of Heaven now, standing at the threshold of a New World, standing at the threshold where humanity will have to choose to unite and to persevere or to descend into endless chaos and self-destruction.

May you listen with your heart. May you open your mind for Revelation. May you accept that you were sent here for this purpose, to live in these times, to serve the world under these conditions and to prepare yourself and others for the great change that is coming.

This is the Will of Heaven, and within yourself, deep beneath the surface of your mind, you will know this to be true.

As revealed to God's Messenger
Marshall Vian Summers

in Jerusalem, Israel

There is a New Message from God in the world, and one of the things that it calls for is the emergence of women leaders, particularly in the area of spirituality and religion. It is time now for certain women to be called into these greater roles and responsibilities, and it is important around the world in different quarters and in different religious traditions that this be allowed.

It will be interesting, perhaps, for you to consider that in advanced nations in the universe—advanced nations in the Greater Community of intelligent life in which you live—that where there is a distinction between men and women, or male and female, in those particular races, the races that are not androgynous in nature, that the female is usually given priority in matters of conscience and spirituality.

This represents an advancement and a practical wisdom as well, for leaders within this context must essentially be providers, and they must essentially be maintainers. The role of being a religious leader in whatever context it may exist—whether it is within a formal tradition, whether it is within a hierarchy of leadership or whether it is much more informal, dealing with smaller groups of people—it is in all cases a role primarily focused on providing and maintaining.

To be creative in the area of religion is only appropriate if it is to meet practical needs of people and to adapt a religious teaching to changing circumstances. Even here it must be carried out with great care, for people like to change what has been given and alter it to meet their needs, their preferences, their desires and their own self-interest. So creativity in the area of religion is actually extremely hazardous.

But religion itself, in whatever context it exists, must change and evolve. It must have a greater capacity to serve people who are undergoing change in their personal lives and change at the level of nations and societies as well. Indeed, even as the environmental conditions of this world change in the face of the Great Waves of change that are coming to the world, religion will have to adapt and change as well.

What essentially is the role of religious leaders in nearly all situations is to be providers and maintainers. And what they are providing is not really of a material nature as much as of a spiritual nature, within the realm of a deeper experience and recognition that is possible for all human beings and other races within the Greater Community. For God has placed a deeper mind within all sentient beings—a mind that is called Knowledge in the New Message.

Clearly, women in many societies have been taking greater roles, but there is still considerable resistance, and in some traditions, it is not allowed at all. But there must be a greater recognition here of the inherent strength of women and the natural capacity they can serve in this regard. For even in current traditions, women may not serve as the recognized leaders, but they are in most cases the backbone of the religious organization and tradition itself.

Men should not be threatened by this, for it is an assumption of natural abilities. And while men will continue to be religious leaders, the opportunity for women should be greatly expanded. For if an individual, a woman in this case, has developed her skills in learning of the deeper mind and of responding to it appropriately—in carrying out its direction responsibly, without altering it or redefining it for herself or for the expectations of others—then as she gains this maturity and this responsibility, she can assume a greater and more natural role as a religious leader.

Clearly, if you look in the past century, you have seen in all of society’s evolution, in many places in the world, the rise of women to roles of prominence that were previously only assumed by men. This is a natural evolution and should be continued. There are now heads of state who are women, but they are still blocked from becoming religious leaders in many, many traditions and in many cultures. They can become the president of a nation, but not a priest or a rabbi or an imam, in many circumstances.

If humanity could learn from advanced races in the Universe, you would see what an error this is. You would see what other races of beings have had to learn and how they have had to cultivate their native wisdom and skills in surviving and in functioning within a Greater Community environment, which by its very nature is extremely competitive and complex. If you could learn from these examples, then you would see the wisdom of what We are saying here.

In many advanced societies, as We mentioned, women are the priests; they are the religious authorities. In this case, in races very different from your own, the feminine is recognized as being more receptive to the direction of Spirit, or God, while men in general—in most situations, the male aspect—are more competent in physical or practical measures.

This is not simply a human phenomenon or a historical precedent within this world alone. It is something that holds true throughout the universe. In certain advanced races, the male and the female have been joined into one being to gain access to the skills that both of these aspects of Creation can provide. But that is not humanity’s reality, nor need it be, for the male and the female, the masculine and the feminine, both have tremendous assets and qualities to be cultivated and which must be cultivated.

Therefore, that is why this could be called the Age of Women, the rise of women—not only to positions of political prominence, not only to positions of leadership in business or commercial affairs, but really in the realm of religion and spirituality.

While women possess great strengths, they also have weaknesses and liabilities within the human family. They are very prone to persuasion. They are very prone to the influences of social cohesion and consent. They are very prone to the difficulties of facing disagreement and disapproval. And their anger and their issues can be over extremely petty and insignificant matters. But in spite of all this, they have a natural ability to resonate, to care for, to sustain and to maintain, and to provide the greater resources of life, which are non-material in nature.

For all human beings have material needs and spiritual needs. Spiritual needs cannot be met by meeting material needs, but until material needs are met, spiritual needs cannot seriously be entertained by most people. But they are different, you see. Once you have satisfied certain physical requirements of life regarding food, water, shelter, security and so forth, then you begin to entertain a greater set of needs. These are perhaps psychological and emotional in nature, but psychological needs bridge to your deeper spiritual needs.

Ultimately, the greatest spiritual need is the same within all people, and that is to find and to fulfill your specific mission in coming into the world. This holds true regardless of your culture, your religion, your family circumstances, your economic situation and so forth. But to be able to entertain this seriously and responsibly, you must have certain material needs met. That is the first requirement.

Because material providership historically has fallen primarily on men, women have been able to cultivate providership at other levels—at the psychological and emotional and spiritual levels to a far greater degree, and they are naturally endowed to do this. It would be foolish to think that women are going to displace men in providing, in the provision of material needs. Where women’s greatest power is the power of empathy, the power of service. They face the same problems of fear, desire and preference that men do, but they still have these natural assets in great abundance. To deny them opportunities in the realm of religion and spirituality is a great mistake and a costly one at that.

The affairs of the spirit are different than the commercial and material affairs of people and should not be confused. In no case should the state and religion be the same. That has proven to be disastrous in history. The great casualty of attempting to join those two is religion itself, which becomes a tool of the state, which becomes used as a form of manipulation and persuasion, of self-righteousness and condemnation of others.

People try to simplify things and make everything the same, but things are not the same, you see. Nature expresses itself differently within different contexts, and while there will still be women who will be marvelous leaders of commerce and political leaders, and there will still be men who will be superb at being religious teachers and leaders, there is a natural orientation that gives the feminine, the woman, the advantage.

Do not think, however, that if women led religion the world would be magically transformed, for this is not the case. But the opportunities to maintain religion and to maintain the spirit of religion in all traditions would be enhanced.

You still need people to run organizations and to deal with financial necessities and to maintain infrastructures and all of this, but the spirit of religion becomes lost when it is united with commercial and practical needs exclusively. Its ethical foundation erodes away, its spiritual emphasis erodes away, it becomes formalized, rigid, governed by rules and regulations; it becomes constrained by the governance of the state, of political powers, economic powers, and the life goes out of it. It becomes stale and static and oppressive as a result.

There is a natural ascendancy for women in the realm of religion and politics. That is not to say that all women will ascend there, or that that will be the purpose of all women. Certainly not, but the opportunity for those who are naturally given—who have purpose, real purpose, in this arena— should be allowed the opportunity to assume a greater role. Full Text

There is a New Message from God in the World. It has come from the Creator of all life.

It has been translated into human language and understanding through the Angelic Presence that oversees this world.

It continues the great series of transmissions from the Creator that have occurred over centuries and millennia.

It is a New Message for this time and the times to come.

It fulfills the former Messages that have been given to humanity, and yet it reveals things that have never been shown to humanity before. For humanity is now facing a grave and perilous set of challenges, both within the world and from beyond the world.

The New Message from God is here to alert, to empower and to prepare the human family—people from all nations and religious traditions, from all tribes, groups and orientations.

It has come at a time of great need, a time of great consequence. It is preparing people for things that have not even been recognized.

It is prophetic in alerting people to the Great Waves of change that are coming to the world and to humanity’s position in the universe, especially regarding your contact with other races.

It calls upon the great spiritual presence within each person—the great endowment of Knowledge that has been given to the entire human family, which must now be cultivated, strengthened and brought forth.

It speaks to the great spiritual need of the individual—the need for purpose, meaning and direction.

It speaks to the great relationships that people can establish with one another, relationships representing their higher purpose in life.

It speaks to the needs of the world and the needs of the future. In so doing, it brings purpose and recognition, unity and cooperation, wisdom and strength to all who can receive it, who can learn it, who can follow its steps, who can contribute it to others and who can share its wisdom in service to other individuals, to families, to communities, to nations and to the whole world.

Receive this blessing. Learn of the New Message from God. Realize it will affirm all that is true within your current traditions, and it will speak to the deeper wisdom that you already possess. It will speak to your heart, even beyond your thoughts and beliefs and the thoughts and beliefs of your culture or your nation.

Receive this gift and learn of it patiently, taking the Steps to Knowledge, learning the wisdom from the Greater Community and recognizing the power of the One Spirituality of humanity in uniting humanity, in strengthening humanity and in preparing humanity to recognize and to navigate the difficult times ahead.

Receive the New Message in its calling for the preservation and the strengthening of human freedom, cooperation and responsibility.

For without this New Message, humanity is facing a grave and precipitous decline.

It is facing the loss of its freedom and sovereignty in this world to other intervening forces from the universe around you.

Without this New Message, the human spirit will remain dormant, and people will live lives of desperation, competition and conflict.

It is the Creator’s Will that humanity emerge into the Greater Community of life in the universe as a free and sovereign race—as a strong race, as a united race, as a race that is capable of maintaining its cultural diversity while honoring the deeper strength and purpose that will keep the world strong and keep the human family vital, active and creative, presenting a new opportunity for advancement in the future.

But to advance you must survive. You must survive the difficult times ahead, and you must survive competition from beyond the world regarding who will control this world and its destiny.

Each individual must recognize that they have a great opportunity to discover the deeper Knowledge that God has given them—the Knowledge which contains their purpose, their meaning and their direction and the criteria for all their meaningful relationships.

Therefore, there is a New Message from God for the individual, and there is a New Message from God for the entire world. It is here now.

It has taken a long time for the Messenger to receive it, for the Message is very great.
Honor then the one who has come to bring the New Message into the world.

He is a humble man. He has developed the wisdom necessary to undertake such a great role, and he has been sent into the world for this purpose.

Receive him. Understand him. Do not exalt him. He is not a god. He is a Messenger bringing the New Message from God into the world.

This is the time now. This is the great opportunity. This is the answer to people’s prayers all around the world—prayers through every faith tradition, through every nation and culture, praying for wisdom, strength, unity, freedom and deliverance.

Receive this New Message now. It is come, and it is come at just the right time.

The New Message from God reveals that our world stands at the greatest threshold in the history and evolution of humanity. At this threshold, a New Message from God has come. It reveals the great change that is coming to the world and our destiny within the Greater Community of life beyond our world for which we are unaware and unprepared.

Here the Revelation redefines certain familiar terms but within a greater context and introduces other terms which are new to the human family. It is important to understand these terms when reading the texts of the New Message.

God is revealed in the New Message as the Source and Creator of all life and of countless races in the universe. Here the greater reality of God is unveiled in the expanded context of all life in this world and all life in the universe. This greater context redefines the meaning of our understanding of God and of God’s Power and Presence in our lives. The New Message states that to understand what God is doing in our world, we must understand what God is doing in the entire universe. This is now being revealed for the first time through a New Message from God. In the New Message, God is not a personage or a singular awareness, but instead a pervasive force and reality that permeates all life, existing beyond the limited boundaries of all theology and religious understanding. God speaks to the deepest part of each person through the power of Knowledge that lives within them. Learn more…

The Separation is the ongoing state and condition of being apart from God. The Separation began when part of Creation willed to have the freedom to be apart from God, to live in a state of Separation. As a result, God created our evolving world and the expanding universe as a place for the separated to live in countless forms and places. Before the Separation, all life was in a timeless state of pure union. It is to this original state of union with God that all those living in Separation are ultimately called to return—through service, contribution and the discovery of Knowledge. It is God’s mission in our world and throughout the universe to reclaim the separated through Knowledge, which is the part of each individual still connected to God. Learn more…

Knowledge is the deeper spiritual mind and intelligence within each person, waiting to be discovered. Knowledge represents the eternal part of us that has never left God. The New Message speaks of Knowledge as the great hope for humanity, an inner power at the heart of each person that God’s New Message is here to reveal and to call forth. Knowledge exists beyond the intellect. It alone has the power to guide each of us to our higher purpose and destined relationships in life. Learn more…

The Angelic Assembly is the great Angelic Presence that watches over the world. This is part of the hierarchy of service and relationship established by God to oversee the redemption and return of all separate life in the universe. Every world where sentient life exists is watched over by an Angelic Assembly. The Assembly overseeing our world has translated the Will of God for our time into human language and understanding, which is now revealed through the New Message from God. The term Angelic Assembly is synonymous with the terms Angelic Presence and Angelic Host. Learn more…

The New Message from God is an original Revelation and communication from God to the people of the world, both for our time and the times to come. The New Message is a gift from the Creator of all life to people of all nations and religions and represents the next great expression of God’s Will and Plan for the human family. The New Message is over 9000 pages in length and is the largest Revelation ever given to the world, given now to a literate world of global communication and growing global awareness. The New Message is not an offshoot or reformation of any past tradition. It is a New Message from God for humanity, which now faces great instability and upheaval in the world and the great threshold of emerging into a Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe. Learn more…

The Voice of Revelation is the united voice of the Angelic Assembly, delivering God’s Message through a Messenger sent into the world for this task. Here the Assembly speaks as one Voice, the many speaking as one. For the very first time in history, you are able to hear the actual Voice of Revelation speaking through God’s Messenger. It is this Voice that has spoken to all God’s Messengers in the past. The Word and the Sound of the Voice of Revelation are in the world anew. Learn more…

The Messenger is the one chosen, prepared and sent into the world by the Angelic Assembly to receive the New Message from God. The Messenger for this time is Marshall Vian Summers. He is a humble man with no position in the world who has undergone a long and difficult preparation to be able to fulfill such an important role and mission in life. He is charged with a great burden, blessing and responsibility to receive God’s pure Revelation and to protect and present it in the world. He is the first of God’s Messengers to reveal the reality of a Greater Community of intelligent life in the universe. The Messenger has been engaged in a process of Revelation for over 30 years. He is alive in the world today. Learn more...

The Seal of the Prophets is a seal established by God at the end of a Messenger’s life. It seals the Revelation in purity, protecting against addition or alteration to God’s communication. The Seal of the Prophets is established by God alone, and only God alone can break the Seal at those thresholds in humanity’s evolution and emergence when God chooses to speak again. Learn more…

The Presence can refer to either the presence of Knowledge within the individual, the Presence of the Angelic Assembly or ultimately the Presence of God. The Presence of these three realities offers a life-changing experience of grace and relationship that can be found by following the mystery in life and by studying and practicing either one of God’s past Revelations or God’s New Revelation for the world. The New Revelation offers a modern pathway to experiencing the power of this Presence in your life. Learn more…

Steps to Knowledge is an ancient book of spiritual practice now being given by God to the world for the first time.

The Greater Community is the larger universe of intelligent life in which our world has always existed. This Greater Community encompasses all worlds in the universe where sentient life exists, in all states of evolution and development. The New Message reveals that humanity is in an early and adolescent phase of its development and that the time has now come for humanity to prepare to emerge into the Greater Community. It is here, standing at the threshold of space, that humanity discovers that it is not alone in the universe, or even within its own world. Learn more…

The Greater Darkness is an Intervention underway by certain races from the Greater Community who are here to take advantage of a weak and divided humanity. This is occurring at a time when the human family is entering a period of increasing breakdown and disorder, in the face of the Great Waves of change. The Intervention presents itself as a benign and redeeming force while in reality its ultimate goal is to undermine human freedom and self-determination and take control of the world and its resources. The New Message reveals that the Intervention seeks to secretly establish its influence here in the minds and hearts of people at a time of growing confusion, conflict and vulnerability. As the native peoples of this world, we are called upon to oppose this Intervention and to alert and educate others, thus uniting the human family in a great common purpose and preparing our world for the challenges and opportunities of life in the Greater Community. Learn more…

The Great Waves of Change are a set of powerful environmental, economic and social forces now converging upon the world. The Great Waves are the result of humanity’s misuse and overuse of the world, its resources and its environment. The Great Waves have the power to drastically alter the face of the world, producing economic instability, runaway climate change, violent weather and the loss of arable land and freshwater resources, threatening to produce a world condition of great difficulty and human suffering. The Great Waves are not an end times or apocalyptic event, but instead a period of transition to a new world condition. The New Message reveals what is coming for the world and the greater preparation that must be undertaken by enough people. It is calling for human unity and cooperation born now out of sheer necessity for the preservation and protection of human civilization. Learn more…

The Mental Environment is an environment of thought and emotion that exists parallel to the physical environment. The mental environment contains forces that affect our thinking and emotions and that can dominate us until we become strong with Knowledge. Learn more...

Higher Purpose refers to the specific contribution each person was sent into the world to make and the unique relationships that will enable the fulfillment of this purpose. Knowledge within the individual holds their higher purpose and destiny for them. It cannot be ascertained by the intellect alone.

Some members of your Spiritual Family are in the world and some are beyond the world. The Spiritual Families are a part of the mysterious Plan of God to free and reunite all those living in Separation. Learn more…

Ancient Home refers to the reality of life and the state of awareness and relationship you had before entering the world, and to which you will return after your life in the world. Your Ancient Home is a state of connection and relationship with your Spiritual Family, The Assembly and God. Learn more...

excerpt from God Has Spoken Again, the first book of Volume 1 of The New Message from God.

God has spoken again.

God has spoken again because the world is facing its greatest travails, its most difficult challenges.

The human family has created an environmental calamity that has the power to undermine its civilization—a calamity of many factors; a calamity that will alter your environment, that will deplete your soils, that will dry up your rivers; a calamity that will bring an end to your growth and expansion; a calamity that has been the product of decades and centuries of misuse of the world, with no thought of tomorrow, as if the world were an endless bounty that could be exploited without limit.

And the religions of the world, which were all initiated by God, are in contention with each other—sometimes violently, often vehemently—in contention with each other, vying for precedence and recognition, claiming in many cases to be the greatest or even the only true manifestation of God’s Revelation, the one true path which must be followed.

God has spoken again because humanity has plundered the world and is now facing a predicament that could lead to great deprivation and conflict.

God has spoken again because religion has failed to find its unity, except amongst a very few individuals and organizations.

It has failed to bridge the tribal identities of people that had to be overcome sufficiently for a world community to be established—to transcend one’s immediate group, one’s regional identity, one’s unique customs and culture, to become part of a world community.

This is evolution for humanity, an evolution that leads to great diversity of cultural expression, but enables people to live and to communicate and to share their creations with one another.

God has spoken again even though there are many who say that this is not possible, that the last prophet [had] the great and final message to the world. But what person can say this? Even God’s Messengers cannot make such claims.

For God communicates when God wills and is not bound by human ideas or beliefs. What arrogance to think that the Creator of all the universes is going to be impeded by human presumption and human admonition.

That is why again God has spoken, for there is great correction that must come to your understanding of the Divine Presence and Power in your life and in the world and beyond the world within a Greater Community of life in the universe.

Humanity stands at the threshold of space, the threshold of encountering a Greater Community of life—a Greater Community that is far more complex, demanding and challenging than anything the human family has ever encountered.

It is as if humanity were an adolescent entering an adult world, full of presumption and self-importance, of course, but unaware and dangerously naïve of the realities and difficulties of that adult world.

The religions of the world, which were given to build human civilization, were not designed to prepare humanity for the Greater Community. That was not their purpose or function, you see.

But now the evolutionary progress and process have brought humanity to this great threshold. Living in a world of declining resources and growing population, it must now face the reality, the difficulty and the great opportunity of facing a Greater Community of life.

For beyond your fears, beyond your anxieties, beyond your avoidance and denial, you will be able to see that the Great Waves of change that are coming to the world and humanity’s encounter with a universe of intelligent life are the two greatest things, the two greatest motivations that will lead humanity to finally cooperate and to establish a functioning and equitable world order, a world stability that has never been found before.

This stability cannot be under oppressive rule, or it will not succeed. It is now being generated out of necessity. For nations competing and fighting against one another will only deplete the world even further and faster. And with a changing climate and a changing environment, nations will have to cooperate if they are to survive and to provide for their peoples.

It is life at such a simple, elemental level, lost to the modern mind that thinks of its desires and its fears, its fantasies and its creations with such obsessive indulgence that it cannot see the realities of life itself.

Despoil your environment and it will undermine you. It will work against you. Fight with each other, and war will become perpetual. The [old] grievances will be renewed, and new grievances [will be] established.

The world needs a New Revelation. For Christianity cannot save the world. Islam cannot save the world. Buddhism and Hinduism cannot save the world. And Judaism was never designed to save the world.

Now that there is a world community of great interdependence and great fragility and great vulnerability, both to internal collapse and to external competition and intervention, it is time for humanity to grow up. It is time for a change of heart, for people of all nations—a reckoning of the reality of the situation, a comprehension of the Great Waves of change and their power to affect and undermine a stable world.

It is time for God to speak again. God knows this, of course, though few people recognize it.

Many people are waiting for the fulfillment of their early prophecies—the return of the Imam, the Maitreya [or] the Jesus. But they will not return, you see. And those coming to claim these titles and these identities will not be the spiritually enlightened or the spiritually endowed, but those from the Greater Community who are here to take advantage of human foolishness and expectation.

God has spoken again. If you could honestly recognize the need for this—the need for this in your life, in your community, in your family, in your nation, between your nations—then you could see that a New Revelation is required and that you are actually living at a time of Revelation.

But here you must be very clear, for God is not giving you a new superhero to believe in. God is not giving you a massive doctrine to adhere to under the grave threat of punishment if you should fail. God is not asking you to believe in one teacher. God is not asking you to have one theology or one philosophy.

God is bringing, instead, the power of Knowledge to the individual and with that power, responsibility in service to the world. God is not going to give humanity a new idea which it will fight over in dissent. It is going to give you something more fundamental, something you could really only give to a world community that is facing great peril and upheaval.

This is a more advanced Revelation—not given now in simple stories or anecdotes, not given in admonitions, not pictured in simple pastoral images, not given in mystical identities with the promise of enlightenment, but given to bring the individual to a state of recognition and a sense of responsibility, not only to oneself, but to rescuing human civilization itself.

People will not understand this at first because they do not see the great peril facing humanity. They think that life will be as it has been before, perhaps more problematic, more difficult, more uncertain. They do not realize they are living in a new world—a world that has changed imperceptibly, a world that will not be the same as the world that they grew up in, the world of their parents or ancestors. And they will see that without the guidance of Knowledge within themselves, they are lost in this world—this world that will become ever more disturbing, ever more uncertain.

At a certain point, you cannot run from this. You cannot live in a state of fantasy or denial, projecting your blame and hostility on your parents or your culture or organizations or governments.

There has to be a reckoning, you see, and the sooner this reckoning happens for the individual, the sooner they begin to take stock of their life.

But what will guide humanity is what influences and determines your decisions. Whether you are the leader of a nation or a poor person living on the outside of the city, it is what informs your decisions and what you can hear and see within yourself and others that will make all the difference in what you choose to do in the face of the Great Waves of change and the degree of wisdom you can bring to your own circumstances, no matter how difficult they are.

God is giving to humanity something humanity does not even know it needs—the one key element, the missing piece, the part that only God can provide, the strength, the power and vision that only God can provide.

Without this, your technology will not save you. Your ingenuity will not save you. Luck will not save you. Denial or avoidance will not save you. Immersing yourself in hobbies and distractions will not save you. That is why God has spoken again.

The Message is honest. It is so honest that people will run away from it. It is so honest that it will confuse the person receiving it at first, perhaps. It is so honest because it asks you to be so honest.

It asks you to be what God created in you and to manage that part of yourself that is a product of living in the world—a big demand, but a fair demand if you are going to be able to face a declining world and to face the realities of the Greater Community, where childishness and foolishness will hurt you and make you weak.

The world has changed. God’s great Revelations must now be given the next stage of their expression—not to replace them but to uplift them and to cleanse them and to bring them into harmony with one another. They are all pathways to Knowledge, you see. That is what they really are.

They have been turned into other things by governments, by individuals and institutions, by nations seeking power and dominance. They have been alloyed with culture and customs and local perceptions to a point where their essential emphasis and purpose can be difficult to discern.

This is to bring people back to the essence of spirituality, which is the power and the presence of Knowledge in the individual, the power and the presence of Knowledge—this greater intelligence that God has given to each person, working through groups and nations of people, supporting freedom and forgiveness, recognition, communication, work, effort, responsibility.

This is not simply an option now, for the world you are facing will be much more difficult and much more demanding. And the decisions you will have to make will be very consequential for you and for others.

You cannot be fooling around in the face of the Great Waves of change. You are standing at the threshold of the Greater Community. Only God can prepare you for these two great realities. And God is giving you the essential components of that preparation.

God gives the world what it needs, but the people cannot see it. They want a warrior leader. They want a military power. They want a Barabbas, not a Jesus. They want the lord of the lands, not the Lord of the Heavens. They want material power. They want material resolution. They want their problems fixed for them. They want to give over the reins instead of receive the gift of responsibility.

The miracle of the New Message is the miracle of all the Revelations. It is the miracle of personal revelation. It is the miracle of personal redemption. It is the miracle of personal and individual responsibility and contribution to society and to others. It is the miracle of giving. It is the miracle of forgiveness. It is the miracle of resonating with another at a deeper level, beyond the realm and the reach of the intellect. It is the miracle of your true reality expressing itself in a difficult and temporary world.

What will inform your decisions will make all the difference in determining the outcome. God has given you the voice and the conscience to guide you, but it is not your voice or your conscience. It is part of a greater Voice and a greater conscience.

God is not ruling the world, governing the weather. God is not the source of calamities and catastrophes, hurricanes and earthquakes and floods. That is just nature functioning.

God has sent you into this difficult and unpredictable world, as beautiful as it is, to reclaim the power of Knowledge and with this power be guided to give what you are designed to give specifically where your contribution can have the greatest impact.

This all transcends the human intellect, of course, for you will never understand the workings of Creation and Heaven, which extend far beyond the physical universe, which itself is so vast that no race has ever been able to comprehend its entirety or its full meaning.

Here the practical and the mystical unite. Here the inner and the outer make their essential connection. Here the mind is governed by a greater intelligence so the intellect’s tremendous capabilities can be wisely used and applied. Here people take responsibility not only for bringing their affairs into order and balance, but also to see what they must do to assist the human family wherever their gifts can be given.

You will have to look on the world very compassionately in the future. You will see much failure and loss. You will see great foolishness and even the recurrent indulgences of humanity become ever more extreme.

You will have to forgive and look upon the world with compassion. You cannot be fully detached from it, for you are connected to it, you are sent to serve it and your purpose and destiny are related to it.

The goal is not [inner] peace. The goal is contribution. Even the greatest saints have had to recognize this and be sent out into the world to teach and preach and contribute wherever they can.

Your achievements in the world, or even your spiritual achievements, are all to be used to serve, to lighten the burden of those around you, to encourage people to return to the Power and the Presence that is their Source and their connection to the Divine—using whatever beliefs or symbols or images or personages they find most inspiring.

What is essential and important is the pursuit and the recognition that you live with two minds—the worldly mind and the deeper mind of Knowledge.

This is for everyone, not just for one tribe, one group or one time in history or to meet one great episode in the long story of humanity’s presence in this world.

God has spoken again now of greater things—things beyond the ordinary and things that are extremely ordinary and important. God has spoken of the Greater Community, the Great Waves of change, the meaning of your inner reality [and] the essential pursuit to reclaim your connection to Knowledge, which is here to guide you, protect you and lead you to your greater accomplishments in life.

It is a tremendous breakthrough for the individual. And it will be individuals that will make all the difference in deciding the fate and the future of humanity.

And what informs their decisions—whether it be ambition, belief, fear, pride and their previous understanding or the greater inspiration that only Knowledge can provide—will determine the outcome in every situation.

God has spoken again. You must come to the Revelation to see. Do not be foolish and stand apart and try to judge it or understand it, for you will not understand it. And to judge it merely is to demonstrate your foolishness and your lack of honesty.

This is a great time of Revelation. It is a great time of preparation for the future. It is a great time to bring your life into balance and harmony and to prepare yourself for living in a new world, a demanding world, but also a redeeming world if humanity chooses to follow what God has provided.

Marshall Vian Summers

in Boulder, Colorado

1. Begin to read the Allies of Humanity Briefings and study them deeply.
2. Read everything you can about the Greater Community within the teachings, The Greater Community Way of Knowledge.
3. Learn what you can about the presence of foreign forces in the world.
4. Encourage human unity, emphasizing humanity’s vulnerability to intervention and to persuasion in the universe and that humanity has little or no defense established yet to deal with influences from the Greater Community in which you live.
5. Support the disclosure of the extraterrestrial presence—disclosure from governments, disclosure from the Intervention itself and disclosure from the public, who has already been impacted in so many ways.
6. Think of yourself as living within a Greater Community of intelligent life, a Greater Community where life has evolved and where technology has accelerated, but a Greater Community with the limits of physical life that are still impinging on everyone who lives within the physical universe.
7. Do not fall prey to persuasion and inducements from any extraterrestrial presence who is active in the world, interfering in human affairs.

Do not believe that anyone is going to come here to save or to rescue a struggling humanity, and see that those who claim to do so are here for their own purposes—to take advantage of humanity’s weakness, divisions and superstitions.
8. See humanity and yourself as the native peoples of the world who are now facing intervention. What must the native peoples do to secure their boundaries and to determine how and when and where engagement with the outside should occur for the benefit of the native peoples of the world?
9. Do not believe that any other race has claim to this world or is genetically bonded to the race of humanity or is humanity’s parents or guides in any respect. This is a falsehood that is being presented by those forces who are intervening in the world today.
10. Understand why humanity’s allies are not present in the world and that they have a policy of non-intervention, only sharing their wisdom and insight for those who seek to know about life beyond this world.
11. Prepare yourself for the Great Waves of change that are coming to the world so that you may be in a strong position to navigate these Great Waves of change and to be of service to others. This will be supporting humanity and preparing it for its future within a Greater Community of intelligent life.
12. Do not let anyone persuade you that those forces who are intervening are here for the benefit of humanity. This represents confusion on the part of the human family and deception on part of those forces who are here already.
13. Understand that humanity must establish a boundary to space, that attempts at intervention and persuasion will be ongoing and that humanity, because it is divided and because it is ignorant about the realities of life in the universe, is especially vulnerable to outside persuasion and intervention.
14. Look to see if you have any contact with extraterrestrial forces yourself, either through the mental environment or through direct physical contact. Be courageous in asking yourself, “Have I had any direct contact with an extraterrestrial force? And if so, what was the nature of the contact and what occurred?”
15. Denounce war as a weakening of the human family in the face of the Greater Community. Emphasize unity and cooperation in humanity facing the Great Waves of change and in preparing for its great encounters with the Greater Community in which it exists.
16. Share the Allies of Humanity Briefings with as many people as possible and send the Declaration of Human Sovereignty to your friends and associates and to government leaders. The more people who can know about this, the stronger humanity will be and the more able it will be to ward off intervention and persuasion in order to set its own course to become a free and advancing race in the universe.
17. Do not believe that the taking of human beings by extraterrestrial forces holds any benefit for humanity. Understand that these abductions are only for the purpose of breeding a hybrid being capable of influencing governments and commerce and religious institutions, and to also create a network of supporters for the Intervention itself. This is a gross violation of your rights and well-being and a tremendous threat to the future of humanity.
18. Recognize that advanced technology does not equal advanced ethics and morality. Use humanity as a good example of this. Do not think that those who have gained the ability to travel in space represent any advancement in ethics or morality or religion or spirituality. Do not think that they can teach you anything in this regard, for in many cases, you are more advanced than they are in your awareness of the reality of God and the nature of your own spirituality.
19. Understand that to be free in the universe, humanity will have to meet three requirements: unity, self-sufficiency and discretion. Humanity will have to achieve these goals to a very great degree. At present, none of these are being cultivated adequately. This represents the emphasis and focus for uniting humanity in its own defense and preparing it to emerge into a greater arena of life.
20. Understand that the Intervention that is here in the world today is here to break down human unity. It is here to break down humanity’s ability to be self-sufficient, and it is here to learn as much about human nature, human behavior and human society as possible, thus undermining your discretion and exposing your weaknesses.
21. Look to the stars with clarity and sobriety. It is a challenging but wondrous environment in the universe, but you must be strong and determined in order to emerge into this larger arena.
22. Learn The Way of Knowledge and build your foundation in Knowledge so that it may protect you against persuasion and intervention and that it may guide you forward in service to humanity—to prepare humanity to become more united and more determined and more capable of responding and functioning within a Greater Community of life.
23. Understand that God has provided a warning and a preparation for the Greater Community so that humanity may safely pass through this great threshold and bring about a greater unity and cooperation amongst the human family, and prepare itself for both the reality and the spirituality of life in the universe.
24. Do not think that any race will physically come here and rescue humanity. It is humanity itself that must build its unity and its cooperation, its strength and its determination. Educating people about the reality and the spirituality of life in the universe is an essential preparation to support this advancement. Any races who come here and claim they are here to save or to rescue humanity represent a great danger and a great deception.
25. Maintain your confidence in yourself and in the power and the potency of the human family. Do not lose confidence in human leaders or institutions, irregardless of their fallacies and their errors. Humanity has the strength to ward off intervention and persuasion and to emerge into a Greater Community of intelligent life as a free and self-determined race. Never allow anything to displace this faith and this confidence, for there are many forces in the world today who are seeking to do just that.
26. Recognize to what degree you may have a Greater Community heritage and reality within yourself. The possibility is that you have lived in other worlds and that your experience of the Greater Community is part of your foundation. Accept this as a possibility, and allow the revelations regarding this, whatever they may be, to emerge in your mind over time. You are a citizen not only of this one world but of a Greater Community of intelligent life, and this represents, in a greater context, the meaning and the power of your relationships and spirituality.
27. Understand that humanity has a destiny in the Greater Community, a destiny as a free and self-determined race. But in order to achieve this and fulfill this destiny, humanity must become united; it must cease war and conflict; it must learn to limit the damage it is creating in the Earth to create a sustainable and self-sufficient existence here in this world.
28. Understand that humanity will not be able to go out and exploit and plunder the Greater Community, for beyond this solar system, the lands and the regions and the routes of travel are owned by others. Humanity will have to learn to become self-sufficient within the sphere of its own influence within this solar system. If it can achieve this, then it can ward off intervention and influence from the outside and establish itself as a free and self-determined race in the universe.

You are always preparing for the future, even if you do not think of the future. You are always preparing for the future, even if your mind is focused upon the past. This is because your life builds upon itself. What you experience today is based upon what you accomplished or did not accomplish yesterday. And what you will experience tomorrow will be partially built on what you can accomplish today. Your life is built upon the foundation of the past, and you are building the foundation for the future at this moment. This is true within your life and within all life.

As you learn to become present each day, you become more aware that you are building a foundation for tomorrow for yourself and for others. Here your focus is on the present and on the future. You only draw upon the past for demonstrations and examples, for you have seen and heard much that you have not yet been able to use. The past now becomes a resource as you build the present and the future.

Before this happens, the past is your focus, and the present is only bonded to the past. Here it is very hard to be present in the moment with anyone or anything, and the future is only thought of as a projection from the past. In other words, you think the future will merely be an extension of your past. This makes the future seem predictable, but in reality the future will be unlike the past, for the world is emerging into the Greater Community, and humanity is undergoing tremendous change in its societies, in its cultures, in its values and in its priorities. More and more humanity will be driven by necessity as it realizes that it must catch up with the movement of life.

Knowledge provides what you need today and what you will need tomorrow. It provides this because it takes you where you need to go today and where you need to go tomorrow. It knows your direction, and it will keep you moving on if you are responsive to it. Only if you lose contact with Knowledge and substitute Knowledge with your goals and ambitions will you veer off course and find yourself again going in a direction that does not represent your real destiny.

Today builds for tomorrow. However, life in the future is not simply a result of the past. What will happen to humanity in the future is not simply a result of what humanity did before, for humanity is not alone in the Universe. Therefore, your past is not the sole factor that is determining your destiny and your evolution. Seen from a greater perspective and within a greater context, humanity is an emerging race—promising, intelligent and skillful within its own environment, but without social cohesion and without significant social development.

Humanity at this time is in a very precarious stage in its evolution. It is a stage that could be called a stage of adolescence. People are feeling they have greater powers available to them. They are learning new skills. They have gained what they think is dominion over their environment. They believe they are the superior race within their world and assume that their superiority will extend beyond their world into the Greater Community. Yet they do not have the cohesion, the cooperation or the accountability to one another or to the Greater Power within the world and beyond the world that they need to be a truly mature race. Adolescence is a crucial period. It is a period of many risks. You can see this within a person’s life. You can see this within the development of a society. And you can see this within the development of an entire race.

Since you live in the world, you cannot yet have this perspective, but you will gain it in time as you are able to look at yourself more objectively. When you look at yourself now, you think that you are either good or bad and that your actions or thoughts are good or bad, according to a set of criteria that you have learned from your environment. But Knowledge holds a different set of criteria for determining what is good or bad. Its criteria are without condemnation. Knowledge treats everything fairly and according to its nature and its stage of development. You will acquire this new perspective and this new understanding in building a foundation for living The Way of Knowledge.

Though Knowledge brings you into the present with a present state of mind so that you can be fully involved and give even the mundane circumstances of your life your full attention, it also gives you an understanding of what is coming and an ability to look ahead in your life, not to accurately forecast the future but to be able to sense the direction of the world.

Your life is going somewhere. It has a future and a destiny. The world is going somewhere. It has a future and a destiny. How it will get there is up to the decisions you make today and the decisions that many others make along with you. Yet you do have a destiny, and this cannot be changed. How well you will fare in this destiny is dependent upon your development and the development of others. The world will emerge into the Greater Community. Humanity will eventually become one united society. Whether this emergence gives you your greatest opportunity for advancement or whether it enslaves your race is partially up to you. Whether humanity’s united society is a society of Wisdom, compassion and understanding that can tolerate diversity or whether it is an oppressive society with a cruel and harsh dictatorship that values control beyond all things, the outcome is up to you and up to others along with you.

Do not think, however, that because you have a destiny, everything is always predetermined, for this is not the case. You are moving towards your destiny, but how you move, where you go and how you prepare will determine the nature of the outcome. For example, you will grow older and you will enter the next stage of your life, whether that be adulthood, middle age or old age. But what that stage of life will be like for you will be determined largely by how well you prepare today, by what action you take in your life now and by your understanding and comprehension of your own life’s development.

When people live in their minds, they are governed by their thinking, which may have nothing to do with the real process of life. They are governed by their hopes and their fears, which naturally go together. They are rarely prepared for the future, and often those who do prepare for the future do so at the expense of the present, for they are concerned and anxious about what will happen to them down the road. Yet how can you live a balanced life in keeping with the reality of life when you are so circumscribed by your own ideas and conditioning?

The Creator has a perfect answer to this seemingly insurmountable problem. The answer has been placed within you and is carried within you like a secret cargo, waiting to emerge, waiting until a sufficient maturity has been developed in your life where you will be able to accept and to respond to the great endowment that the Creator has given you. You build a foundation for this in your relationships, in your ability to work in the world and in your appreciation that you have a spiritual reality and that there are greater powers in the world beyond your ideas.

When people are dominated by their thoughts, beliefs and attitudes, when these represent the prison bars that prevent their free access to life, they often want to do away with it all. They do not want to think of the future, and they do not want to think of the past. They say, “Well, the past is over and the future doesn’t exist. There is only now.” The past is over, but it is your foundation for today. The future is coming, and you need to prepare for it. Your foundation in life, whether it is a foundation for Knowledge or a foundation for your own ideas, will set the stage for your future existence and will determine whether you will be able to fulfill your greater destiny in the world.

In this, the world teaches one thing and Knowledge teaches another. The crowd goes one way, but those who are responding to Knowledge go another way. And they look at where everyone else is going, and they wonder, “Am I making the right decision? Even my friends are going a different way than I am now. Why am I doing this? Is this the right thing? Am I fooling myself once again?” But underneath this questioning and concern, there is a quiet urging to go on, to enter that wilderness beyond ideas and self-definition, to enter pure experience, to come close to Knowledge and to learn to rely on Knowledge, to be without definition and at last to be in contact with the real movement and current of your life and life around you.

The Unseen Ones who oversee your development, who are the Angels of the Creator, are planning for the future too because they see what is coming. And they know that if you do not prepare adequately, the situation will not be to your liking or to your advantage. They are aware of people’s complacency and the foolish things that people tell themselves. They know the struggle and the tribulation. They know the intense desire and courage it takes to awaken, even from a happy dream.

The Unseen Ones know the situation is urgent, and they are concerned for you. They are not only concerned with what calamities might prevail if people do not prepare. They are also concerned that you may miss your opportunity to give your greater gifts here in the world. In a sense, this is a greater tragedy. It means that so much effort and work on your behalf will have come to naught. It means that so much cooperation, planning and preparation will never be fulfilled in this life. It means you will have to go back Home, become reoriented to your Spiritual Family and then go through the whole process all over again—birth, infancy, childhood, young adulthood, and then the struggle to come to terms with the deeper nature of your life and the reality of its mission here.

You have already come so far. You have built in the past in order to be able to study a Greater Community Way of Knowledge, to consider the reality of your Spiritual Family, and to engage your time—your days and your hours—to building the Four Pillars of your life, not only for survival but to become a platform for a Greater Reality to speak through you and with you, according to your destined activity in the world.

Without this, what is life but a struggle for survival, a struggle that will end in your trying to acquire as much pleasure, as many possessions and as much security as possible, only to have to give everything over incrementally or all at once? How great the work, how little the reward. If you were not spiritually endowed, if you had not brought gifts with you from your Ancient Home into the world, then there would be no great problem here. You could simply come and live out your years, do the best you could, make mistakes and then leave. But what is the meaning of this? Why would you go to so much effort to come into such a difficult world? Why would you undertake such a long and seemingly unnatural journey to enter into the body, to learn the ways of the world and to have to care for your physical life at such great expense?

This is the real question. If you could but for a moment experience your reality with your Spiritual Family, you would see that their love and inclusion in life and their bond of dedication are completely intact. Why would you leave that and come into a world like this to be a part of a struggling race, troubled and aggravated by the vicissitudes of life and driven by the passions of individual fulfillment? Why would you undergo such a difficult birth? No matter how good your life may be, it is only good for moments, and it cannot compare in any way with your greater life beyond the world.

Knowledge will remind you of this, for the closer you come to Knowledge, the more you will sense that you have an origin and a destiny beyond the world. The more you can experience this and can reflect upon it, the greater will be the sense that you have a mission in life. This mission will press upon you. It will keep you moving forward. It will not let you settle down in the pretty places that you see along the way. It will not let you give your life to the pretty faces that you meet along the way. It will not let you make compromises about your life or your resources, for it must drive you on to your destiny. And if you cannot respond, then it will grow silent within you, waiting for the moment when you can come to it with open hands and honest questions.

Your future is in the Greater Community. That does not mean that you will leave this planet and go somewhere else. It simply means that you will find yourself no longer alone here, and you will be confronted with forces that have greater mental abilities and greater social cohesion. They will be able to think with a group mind. It is only if humanity can develop a group mind based on Knowledge, within small groups of people, that there will be the real possibility of meaningful exchange and the real possibility that you will have the power and the insight to be able to maintain your self-determination amidst the presence of greater forces.

This is one of the great requirements that an emerging world faces in the Greater Community. The other great requirement is that humanity must become united, for you cannot be a diffracted and self-opposed people and hope to be able to participate in the Greater Community. Here you will encounter races of great strength and unity. These races do not necessarily possess Knowledge and they may not have Wisdom, but they will have power. Many people wonder, “Well, why don’t they come and talk to our president? Why don’t they come and speak to our leaders?” The reason is that there is no one here who represents the human race. There is no group mind here. A mob is not a group mind. An army is not a group mind. Who can speak for the human race? Who can represent the will of humanity? Even your greatest and most powerful leaders do not have the support of their people and can rarely muster a real consensus amongst the people over any issue. So, who can the visitors from the Greater Community speak to?

Knowledge here must establish a real community—not a community of law, not a community that is governed by manipulation and coercion, but a community that is driven by intention, dedication and a certainty that specific people must bond together to get things done. For even if there were no Greater Community, only a group mind could achieve any great result in the world. Remember, an individual is only a potential for relationship, and a relationship is a potential for establishing something of meaning and value here. That is why the idea that you can do it alone or you can find your way on your own is hopeless and meaningless. It represents the great fallacy of separation and one of the great tribulations and challenges facing humanity at this time. For humanity is not united enough to be able to participate effectively in the Greater Community. Humanity cannot find the basis for consensus in order to arouse an effective response to the Greater Community. Humanity is governed by superstition and by a limited perspective. Because it is not yet mature as a race, despite its great insights and spiritual affinity, humanity is very vulnerable in the Greater Community.

This is your future. If you cannot become united within yourself, and if you cannot even unite with another or with a handful of people, your life will not be fulfilled. You will not be able to build a foundation for the second great stage of your life.
[image error]
The world is emerging into the Greater Community and you must prepare—mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Your future will be unlike the past. You sense this. You feel it. And it gives rise to anxiety, restlessness and concern. Do not attribute your restlessness only to your psychology or to your society or to your past, for you are feeling the movement of the world, and you are ill at ease with it. You are ill at ease because the situation is becoming grave, and you know something must be done. You may hope and pray that there will be some inspired individual other than yourself who will take action. Yet at some point, you will find that the responsibility is yours and not someone else’s, and that the future is calling you. It is calling for you to prepare now. Even your own life is calling for you to prepare, for your individual life and life in the world are not separate.

Who you are and what you are here to do are directly related to what the world is and what the world needs. People do not understand this because they think that they are creating their own reality, and so their idea of Higher Purpose is what they would ultimately like to do, the thing that would be the most fun and enjoyable. But your Higher Purpose will never be found in this because you must re-establish relationship with life to find your purpose here. There is no purpose in the world of imagination. Though you may devote all of your life and all of your resources to trying to be, do and have what looks most appealing, you are in fact designed for something else. When you come to that threshold where you want to give yourself to others and give yourself to life, when you realize that you cannot fulfill yourself alone and that there is no fulfillment in a self-determined life, then you will hear your Spiritual Family, and the Unseen Ones will come close to you, for you are waking from a long and troubled dream. Then the power of the universe will respond to you, for you are responding to it.

The world is calling you, for you are needed here. You have brought with you the Knowledge necessary to carry out what must be done. This is the foundation for real union with others. You have brought in your parachute kit what you will need, but you will not be able to carry it out alone. You will need Knowledge. You will need others and their Knowledge. You will need your abilities. You will need others and their abilities. This will not happen all at once because you must build a foundation within yourself. You must become prepared. You do not take a person who is a beginner and give them a great mission to do, for they will fail. You must prepare them first.

What is the preparation for the Greater Community? How does one prepare to live in an emerging world? How does one brace oneself for humanity becoming united? These are all important questions. The answer to these questions is not in words or phrases. The answer is a preparation itself. You must make the journey to reach the goal. You must climb the ladder to get out of the hole. You must take the steps that can take you to that vantage point on the mountain of life where you can see clearly and understand where you are on the path and where the path has taken you, and to gain an appreciation of what is ahead and what it will require.

This is called working in the world. And your foundation is building the Four Pillars of your life. The preparation will enable you to do this. The preparation for the Greater Community is The Greater Community Way of Knowledge. Only a preparation from beyond the world can prepare you for what is beyond the world. Human religion, human psychology and human spiritual understanding as they exist today are not capable of preparing you for the Greater Community. Though useful and important within the limited context of human life, they do not extend beyond human life to deal with the greater interactions you will have with the Greater Community.

These interactions are not something that will happen in the distant future, for they are happening now and will happen increasingly in the times to come. Greater Community forces are in the world today, in small numbers, determining how to preserve the environment for their use and determining how humanity can become part of their alliance. These forces are not united with each other but represent divergent groups. Here there is competition for humanity’s allegiance. Their numbers are small, but their power is great. Yet their technology is not the power that will give them dominance here. It is their group mind and their ability to affect the mental environment.

These groups are not strong with Knowledge, or they would not be attempting to manipulate humanity. Knowledge would never lead a person or a group to do that. Yet even without Knowledge, the power of collective thinking can create dominant forces in the mental environment. Here the Greater Community forces will use human religion and affect human governments to achieve their goals. They will take full advantage of humanity’s superstitions. They will take full advantage of the liabilities of human ignorance. They are not here to teach a Greater Community Way of Knowledge, for they do not want people to have Knowledge. They want to keep people in a state of ignorance and suspended animation. They do not want to destroy humanity because they value humanity as part of the resources of this world. But they will not support humanity becoming a self-determining race. Only if humanity itself can become strong and unified will its self-determination be assured.

The Greater Community forces do not need weapons. They do not need armaments, for they have power in the mental environment. Why fight someone when you can simply influence their behavior? Why destroy someone’s city when you can simply make them preserve it for you? The visitors value your environment. They are interested in your creations. They do not want to destroy them. And they do not want you to destroy them either. But their motives are not for your well-being. These are divergent forces, and they are in competition with each other to a certain extent, for they represent different allegiances in the Greater Community. It would be like different European nations finding the same rich tropical island hundreds of years ago. They would compete for it because they want it for themselves. And they would want to use the native people, but they are not there for the native people’s benefit. This is a good analogy, for your history teaches you this. It teaches you of the calamity that happens when greater forces overcome weaker forces. Yet your history only accounts for the interaction between people. It does not account for the interaction between humans and other forms of intelligent life. And your current inability to coexist with each other harmoniously demonstrates that you do not yet have the capacity to deal with Greater Community forces effectively. Because you are weak and diffracted and because your cultures are not united, the visitors will attempt to establish their dominion here. From their point of view, there is no other way.

You may ask, “Are they evil?” They are not evil. They are simply looking out for their own interests and following their own values. Good and evil do not apply here. Those who want to use you believe that you cannot control yourselves, so you must be controlled. And if you could control yourselves, they would consider intervention here more carefully, for your numbers are great and you have the ability to resist them within your own native environment.

You might say, “Well, our governments will come together and unite all of their military strength,” but your governments are already vulnerable to Greater Community influence and will not fight those forces that influence them.

In the Greater Community, power is exercised in the physical and in the mental environments. Human beings know something about power in the physical environment because they have been exercising it for centuries, often to their own detriment. But power in the mental environment is something new. It is a new frontier for human education and understanding.

The Greater Community Way of Knowledge prepares you to enter into the mental environment with your real abilities intact—not for you to become a master, but for you to become proficient and effective in order for you to learn to hold your own ground. Here you might say, “Well, this all sounds too much for me,” but this is your world. This is the destiny of your world. This is the future. People are unprepared for the future. They are still thinking for themselves alone. They are still wondering how they can offset their past problems. They are devoting all of their time and resources to their personal interests, their personal pursuits and their personal difficulties. There is a great disability in the human family now. And there is great risk because the human family has grown very large and is using up the resources of the world at a rapid pace.

It is important to remember that you are not here for yourself alone. You are here for your whole race. You are here for life. Our words seem difficult because people still think that they are here for themselves alone and are primarily concerned with the preservation of their own interests and goals. All we are doing is reacquainting you with the purpose for which you have come and with the world which you have come to serve. If this is a challenge to you, then you must evaluate your current position. If this seems threatening, then you must ask yourself, “Why would a gift of this magnitude be threatening and am I protecting what is really valuable?” Without the truth, people guard their substitutes for truth, and they guard them vehemently. But the truth is awaiting you. The truth will bring you back into the world. The truth will honor your great abilities. The truth will honor your great relationships, and the truth will honor those who sent you and those who are waiting to receive you.

There must be an opportunity to establish group mind in Knowledge here. This cannot be done at the level of nations because humanity has not advanced that far. This cannot even be done at the level of large groups because your race has not advanced that far. Remember, in a state of adolescence, everyone is out for themselves, even if they have newfound powers and abilities. Even if they are acting like adults, they are still thinking like children. A mature race is a race that has found its common needs and common boundaries and has found a basis for uniting itself.

Humanity is not yet a mature race. You seem magnificent compared to the plants and animals, but they are more orderly than you are. No matter how great you may seem within your own domain, you are very small and weak in the Greater Community. Here the Greater Community offers you real opportunity for advancement and the impetus for change. It provides the groundwork for people to find their unity, for everyone in the world faces the dilemma of Greater Community intervention. The Greater Community can teach you a great deal. It can show you a great deal. And it can force you to respond. Its risks and its opportunities are greater than anything the human race has ever faced before. To respond, enough of you must develop a group mind in Knowledge—not just one person. It is no longer sufficient to simply have one inspired individual here and there.

Humanity, because of its tribal background, is able to coalesce into small groups and to establish very strong environments for a group mind. In the group mind, you do not give up your individuality. You simply pool your intellect so that your group has greater and greater resources. Here you serve to verify and to support Knowledge within each other. Here you recognize that Knowledge is greater than you individually and greater than your group. Here you aim to use your greater abilities to build the Four Pillars of your life and to meet the challenges of your greater endeavor together.

A group mind can only be established by a community that has a focus and a shared activity. It is not a weekend affair between people who are otherwise disassociated from each other. It is not a support group that gets together once in awhile and tries to find some common ground. Instead, it represents a community of people who are fully bonded with each other. They are all still made up of individuals, but each person now is valued in terms of the talents that he or she can contribute. For what value is there in individuality except in the fact that you have individual gifts to give? Beyond this, individuality becomes your personal prison cell, a place where you can live but cannot escape.

In the Greater Community you will find individuality is not valued very highly because compared to the power of group mind, individuality is weak and can always be overcome. That is why the great saints in your past have had their Spiritual Family at hand. They were not thinking like individuals. They were not acting like individuals. They were representing a group mind. Any person who demonstrates real spiritual power in the world, any person who demonstrates physical power in the world and any person who demonstrates mental power in the mental environment all represent group mind because a coalescing of intelligence and the focus of many minds will always be stronger than one mind. One mind alone will not be able to verify its own experience effectively. Here you reach the limits of your individuality. Here you also see where your individuality has real purpose and merit. Here you see that your individuality is meant to be a contribution to others rather than a glorification of your own struggle to be free from others.

Humanity is adolescent because it is self-obsessed and because people are still living for themselves primarily. The extent to which people respond to each other and are devoted to each other represents the strength of the human race at this point in time. Every act of kindness, every act of selflessness, every genuine gift that is given in the world between people in all situations collectively represents the strength of the human race at this time.

If humanity cannot rule itself effectively, it will eventually fall under Greater Community domination. This is just like your life in the world now. If you cannot manage your affairs, others will come to manage them for you. If you cannot direct your own thinking, others will attempt to direct it for you. If you cannot pay your own bills, well, then others will have to pay them for you. This is simply a fact of life. This is what happens in intelligent life everywhere in the universe. Your world is no exception. This happens within the realm of your own world, and it happens in the Greater Community. It is a fact of life.

Knowledge seeks to make you strong so that you can make your own decisions, decisions which are wise and effective. But Knowledge recognizes that your decisions alone will not bring about a great result in the world in service to anyone or anything. You must join with others to do this. You must join your intelligence. You must contribute your real gifts and your particular talents and pool them with others. This creates a group mind. This is power. This enables things to get achieved at every level of human experience. This would be true even if there were no Greater Community. But it is required now because there is a Greater Community.

From a greater point of view, your emergence into the Greater Community represents redemption, not because your visitors from the Greater Community are here to save you but because they will require you, through circumstance and by the mere existence of their presence in the world, to finally wake up, to organize yourselves and to develop maturity. This maturing process will not be easy, just like it is not easy to become an adult from a state of adolescence. Adolescents become adults when they realize that they have restrictions, limitations, and responsibilities; when they realize that no one is going to do it all for them and that life has demands and consequences. This is what matures the adolescent person. This is what matures an adolescent race.

Therefore, the Greater Community is your redemption, for it will give you the foundation and a great common cause upon which to organize your people and to learn to cooperate together, for you will all share the same challenges now. Greater Community intervention and the breakdown of the world’s environment—these two great things will affect human unity and force it to come about in one form or another.

If humanity were alone in the universe, if it never encountered other intelligent life, then it would seem that you could go on and on living recklessly and competing with each other. But even this would have an endpoint, for you would soon use up your world’s resources. This would force people to come together because you could not afford to destroy each other since the resources used for this would be too valuable. You would have to reach an agreement. Like people in a lifeboat after the ship had sunk, you would have to establish a common cause, unity and an effective plan for survival. So, were there no Greater Community forces in the world, if your world still seemed to be an isolated speck floating about in the vastness of space, you would still face the great threshold where the human race must become mature. Survival would motivate you.

In the Greater Community, you will be faced not only with survival, because your resources will be depleted, but also with the problem of self-determination. Now your adversary is not one another, it is forces from the Greater Community. They will not let you spoil this place because it is too valuable. From their perspective, you are like a quarreling tribe living on valuable real estate. It is now valued by others as well as by you, and you will not realize how valuable it is until there is competition for it.

We are illustrating the world as it is and as it will be. You know this to be true, even if it runs against your ideas and beliefs, your hopes and your wishes. We give you what you know, not what you want. We give you what you must know in order to fulfill your destiny here and to help preserve your race. For a race to emerge successfully into the Greater Community, it must prepare for the Greater Community. It must learn to apply its spiritual resources to a situation where the Greater Community is part of the environment. Therefore, there is a great calling for learning The Greater Community Way of Knowledge and Greater Community Spirituality. This Teaching is a gift from the Creator to enable humanity to undertake the next great stage in its development where it prepares to emerge into the Greater Community. It is a great answer to a great need. And it is the perfect response to all of the questions of humanity at this time.

So, when you ask yourself, “Who am I and why am I here?” also ask the question, “Where is the world going and what must I do for it?” Then you will have all the right questions. If you ask for yourself alone, your questioning will not be complete, and you will not understand the answer. If all of the questions are present, you will understand the answer because you will understand your predicament. And though you will see that you need to build a foundation for learning and living The Way of Knowledge for yourself—for your well-being, for your happiness, for your fulfillment, for the redemption of your own value and meaning here—you will also see that you need it for your whole race and that you are doing this for everyone and not just for yourself. This will enable you to make the sacrifices and the achievements to undertake the preparation that is necessary. Here you are free to go with Knowledge, even if Knowledge leads in a different direction from where you thought you were going before. You are doing this for others. You are doing this for your Spiritual Family. You are doing this for all humanity.

For humanity to become a wise and effective participant in the Greater Community, it must become united, it must gain a Greater Community understanding and perspective and it must learn what Greater Community Spirituality means.

Independence in the Greater Community is not a right; it is a privilege. Just as for nations in your world, independence is not a right; it is a privilege. Your own personal independence is not a right; it is a privilege. When you think it is a right, you think that life owes it to you, and you neglect the fact that you will have to work for it, preserve it and use it for a good cause.

The Greater Community Way of Knowledge is for you, but it is not only for you. It is for all of humanity. It will not be understood at the outset because it presents the greater problems in life, the problems inherent within people and within the world. It will challenge people’s understanding. It will challenge their tribal beliefs. It will bring to them not only promise but a great deal of work and preparation as well. The Greater Community Way of Knowledge is a ladder for the whole race. This does not mean that everyone will study it, for that is not necessary, but if enough people study it, they will be able to provide Wisdom for the whole world. This Wisdom is needed now. Knowledge must be discovered now. It is needed now. It is needed in your life, and it is needed in the world. You need it and others need for you to reclaim it. Others need it, and you need for them to reclaim it. You need to find your real relationships now, those individuals who were sent into the world from your Spiritual Family to be with you. You must find them. They are looking for you, and as each day passes, the need and the looking become more urgent and more important.

You do not have all the time to make up your mind and come to terms with your deeper inclinations, for time is precious now and should not be wasted. Much time has been lost already, and it has made your situation as a race more difficult. Much time has been wasted in your life, and it has made your predicament now more difficult.

When the house is on fire, everyone must get involved. Some will take greater roles. Some will take lesser roles. Some will simply pass water down the water line. It does not matter who is a hero or who is a heroine, for everyone works together. All that matters is that the fire is put out and the house is saved.

Humanity lives in a very big house. Part of the house is on fire. And others are visiting here to determine how the fire can be put out for their benefit.

This is why some people think that Greater Community forces are here to help humanity, because they will help you put the fire out. Yet they will reorganize your race in the process. They will gain control of your leaders in the process. In their own quiet way, they will determine where humanity will go and what it will do. Because they bring an answer, they will be welcomed and they will be trusted. People will believe in them and have hopeful feelings about them because the visitors will seem to be able to handle the situation. They will seem to know what to do while people are all running about in the world, frightened and confused.

However, the visitors are not your emancipators. They are your competitors. Yet there are other groups from the Greater Community who serve the emergence of Knowledge in humanity who will not seek to gain control here, for they know that would not be in the best interest of humanity. Your allies will support the emergence of Knowledge because the human race needs Knowledge, and they will support humanity learning Greater Community Knowledge and Wisdom because humanity must learn these in order to participate and compete in the Greater Community.

You have a great deal of preparation to do. Be patient. You are preparing for a very, very great thing. Be patient, but do not be passive. The Way of Knowledge has been introduced into the world just in time. Those who begin the preparation now will be in the best position to contribute to humanity in the times to come. Their learning will be accelerated, their lives will be accelerated, and the changes they need to make within themselves and within their own personal spheres will be accelerated. If they are patient and honest, and if they do not try to use the preparation for their own personal gain, they will be able to build their foundation. And they will be able to find those who have come into the world to help them.

Prepare in this greater education, for the time is great and the hour is late. Everyone is important now. Everyone has something to give, even if it is very small. Everyone can learn The Way of Knowledge at least enough to know to value those virtues that emanate from Knowledge—devotion, compassion, wisdom, strength, perseverance, courage and patience. Some will become proficient in The Way of Knowledge because they will be able to take the steps without claiming a greater role for themselves along the way. They will help prepare humanity for the future and assure that humanity has a future, for humanity must become the wise stewards of the world and prepare to participate in the Greater Community. Both go together and both represent the same goal.

It is time now to build a foundation for Knowledge. It is time now to build the Four Pillars of life and to learn how to do this in a way where all the pillars are supported and strengthened. It is time to step aside from the grandiose goals and ideals that can only keep you in a state of imagination about your life. It is time to consider your deepest inclinations. It is time to respond to the great needs of the world and to find your role and place there. It is time to give up the idea that you can escape the world or transcend its requirements, for you were not sent here to simply run away.

Here Heaven and Earth come together because they serve the same purpose. It is in serving the same purpose that their relationship becomes recognized. This is true between Knowledge and your mind. It is true between Knowledge and the world. It is true in the Greater Community as well. At every level of existence—at the level of the individual, at the level of the family, at the level of the culture, at the level of the nation, at the level of the world—these great truths hold true and demonstrate their truth accordingly.

Let us conclude now with a prayer because this is holy work. It is holy because it is complete, because it represents the wholeness of your life. It is holy because it is all encompassing, because it represents the full dimension of your existence here.

“Knowledge is the great endowment. It is within me and you today. Knowledge is calling us and the world is calling us. We must prepare. Knowledge is the bridge to the world and to each other. Let us learn to cross over this bridge. We are not alone, and those who are with us have been with us in the past and are with us now. We need them now. And we must call upon them now. For we have come to serve a greater purpose in all of the humble ways that a greater service must be given. This is the blessing of life. This is the calling of life. This is the requirement of life.

And this is the gift of life.”

Many people today are very ambitious regarding spirituality and spiritual direction. They think that they are messengers for God and that their beliefs, associations and ideals are really something bigger than they are. And they insist upon this position, not understanding that God’s Messages are rarely given. They have assigned themselves to be God’s representatives, but they are not, not really, not in this way. It is their ambition and their ideology that drive them on, that make them make these assumptions and that make them think and believe, even fervently, that they are so endowed with the Divine. They claim that their messages are profound and come from a greater source. But this is not true because God’s Messages are rare, as we have said. They are not given frequently. They are never given to the ambitious, and they are never given to those who would assign themselves splendid roles.

Indeed, those chosen to be the true Messengers are reluctant, even to the point of self-denial. They do not really want the job. But they will accept it because of who asks it of them. They do not really want to shine in the world as an Emissary or as a Messenger. This is almost painful to them. They are more retiring, more private, more discreet, and yet these are the ones who are chosen to be the real Messengers, and there are not many of them. Everyone else is chosen or appointed to support the Message.

It is not necessary for God to communicate profound Messages to humanity very often. This is a very serious thing. It does not happen that often. And yet the ambitious will assign themselves the role and the privilege of delivering messages from a higher source. Unfortunately, these people often become representatives of the Intervention and proponents of the whole Pacification Program. They have very strong views about what is spiritual, and then they appeal to higher powers to substantiate what they believe and to anoint them as the representatives of a greater truth. How perfect this is for the Intervention.

People who assign themselves these roles and responsibilities are not the Emissaries of the Creator. At best, they are the emissaries of their own ambition and their own failed ideologies. At worse, they fall into service to powers that they cannot even recognize and begin to endorse, represent and propose things, the source of which is unknown to them. They have claimed that they are not the authors of their own demonstration, and because they do not want to even think that they are the authors of their own demonstration, they will naturally appeal to any other source that to them represents a kind of spiritual power.

It is this kind of self-deception, it is this kind of self-glorification that would make one extremely vulnerable to manipulation from beyond.

These are the ones who will renounce the true Messengers when they arrive. They are affronted by the true Messengers. They are not impressed by the true Messengers because they think that true Messengers must be dynamic, magnificent and very self-assertive, like they are, or like they think they should be. Yet the Messengers are rarely like this.

And so, these people who are self-appointed often become the harshest critics of the true Messengers when they arrive, for their own position is threatened. Their ideology is endangered. Their appointment by a divine power is thrown into question. They will say, “Well, we are all messengers for the divine.” And they will try to spread the whole idea of self-appointment to so many other people, some of whom will respond eagerly, seeing this as a means to offset their low self-esteem and to give them a sense of identity and direction that they are lacking.

None of this, of course, comes from Knowledge. It is all a creation of the personal mind for self-glorification and for self-acknowledgment. They look to greater spiritual powers as a stamp of approval, and they will grant themselves this approval. The voices that they hear, that they select and that they even want, will only be those voices that substantiate their views, their beliefs and their ideas about themselves.

There are many of these people right now, in all faith traditions. Every faith tradition has people like this who believe that they are messengers, that they have a greater truth to present and to demonstrate. They are the ones who can become zealous and destructive, who take matters into their own hands and who decide, believing that they are divinely guided, of course, that they can determine what is just and unjust, what is spiritually correct and spiritually incorrect.

All students of Knowledge must be aware of these individuals. All students of Knowledge must ask themselves, “Am I trying to fulfill myself here?” If you come to serve, then you must have great humility. If you come to be a real student, then you must follow a greater way and not invent the journey for yourself. If you sincerely seek the truth of Knowledge and the reality of Knowledge in your life, then you must come with humility, without assumptions about yourself. And you must not base your approach upon an ideology that may in fact not be based upon Knowledge at all.

Humility, patience, perseverance, honesty, discretion, discernment—all essential qualities for true accomplishment. And yet you do not see these qualities demonstrated by many people, especially by many people who claim to be spiritual authorities. People who claim to be psychic, to be clairvoyant, to have unique and special powers—these people are especially vulnerable to manipulation from beyond. And because they give themselves such high rank in the spiritual hierarchy, and because they consider themselves to be so unique among human beings, and because they seek recognition and approval for their ideas, these people will be very, very good candidates for manipulation and can well fall in with the Intervention, in all of its manifestations. Willing now to serve a greater power and believing that they are endowed to do so, they assign themselves the role of emissaries.

Be very careful with these people. Remain silent around them. But see clearly. The true Messengers are never adamant about themselves. They never claim special gifts and powers for themselves. Even their own genuine appointment, if they have to talk about it, they will do so rather reluctantly. They are not dynamic and strong. They do not project their personality in this way. They are not indiscreet. They are not loud and brash.

There are so many people claiming to be spiritual emissaries that when the real one appears, they go unnoticed because they are quiet, because they are not loud and brash and indiscreet. They may not gain much attention, for all the attention is being gathered by those who beat their own drum and who proclaim themselves proudly, with great conviction.

And who can tell who is the real Emissary? And how can you tell? We have already begun to answer this question. You can tell because of the content of their message. You can tell because of the humility of their approach. And you can tell if this is a false humility or if it is really genuine. For as we have said, those who are selected are rather reluctant. They do not want to proclaim themselves really. And if they do so, it is because they are asked to do so, not because they want it for themselves.

This is a very serious matter here. All true Emissaries bring something unique and remarkable into the world. They do not simply restate the popular ideas. They do not claim their own spiritual or intuitive powers. They do not call upon their uniqueness. Look at the content of their message. Is it about them and their abilities, or is it about something really greater than them? Does their message emphasize their uniqueness, or does it speak about greater things? Is their message really new and revolutionary, or is it simply a restatement of what so many others have claimed? Again we will say, those who proclaim themselves are not the true Emissaries because they are not chosen, and they are not chosen because of these tendencies that we are describing.

So you look for that which is true and for that which is unique. If they are real Messengers, they are presenting something really new. Ask yourself, “Are these emissaries really presenting something new, or are they just presenting themselves and using what seems popular or conventional or even radical in the moment, yet well documented from before? Is there real substance and merit to their presentation?” Some people say, “Well, there is teaching at all levels. All spiritual teaching is valid.” But this is really just an excuse, just an excuse.

There are very few true emissaries. There are many people who are called to serve and many people who can serve in a real way. And there are many people who do serve in a real way. But to be an emissary, to be a representative, to be a messenger, well that is really something else. That is reserved for a very few people.

One of the reasons that this role is not chosen by those who are selected is because the role itself is quite difficult. You are asked to express something new and challenging. You are asked to go beyond your whole idea of yourself to take a position in life, to present something that even you yourself can barely understand. You put yourself in a position to take condemnation and ridicule, to put yourself in the middle of a great struggle for the conscience of humanity. You lose your friends, your family, your position in life, and you embark on a new journey, the outcome of which is uncertain and unknown.

These are the tribulations of the person who serves in a genuine way. These are the tribulations of the person who is the real emissary. Is this something people really would want for themselves? Is this the goal of the ambitious, the self-seeking and the self-serving—to travel this difficult journey, to carry such a great burden with so little seeming recognition and support?

This is why those who are ambitious are never chosen. They are never chosen because of their tendencies, but they are also never chosen because they would not yield themselves to this greater responsibility. They seek recognition and self-glorification, but that is not what the role of a real Messenger and Emissary provides.

Consider the story of Jesus. Yes, he gained great attention, but who were his true allies? Who remained true to him throughout his career? Who put themselves at risk to be his representatives and his witnesses? The ambitious? The self-seeking? Those who were immersed in their spiritual pride, who claimed unique and special powers and gifts for themselves? No, they were nowhere to be found. But they arose after Jesus’ death to claim that they were his representatives.

In all faith traditions, this occurs and is occurring. It is really a very sad tendency, but it is inherent in the condition of humanity today. Some people will never wait to be chosen, so they choose themselves because they need something to believe in, to give themselves to. They need a sense of identity, purpose and meaning. And though they are not really chosen by the Divine, they choose themselves in the name of the Divine and claim to be the representatives and emissaries of the Divine. But their message has no substance and no originality. The emphasis is upon themselves rather than upon the teaching. Whenever the teacher becomes more important than the teaching, or when the teacher is the teaching itself, watch out. Be careful.

When these emissaries pass away, what is left? What is their legacy? Now that they are no longer there to proclaim themselves, is there anything left behind of real substance and value? Or were they only a billboard for themselves and their professed powers and abilities?

For the student of Knowledge, real discernment must prevail here. We have chosen the Emissary for this Teaching. There are no others who can claim the role as the Messenger for The Greater Community Way. Even after Marshall leaves this world, there will not be an emissary. There will only be those who are appointed to carry on what he has begun. And they will be chosen not because of their aggressiveness or their charm or their ambitions. The ones who will be chosen will be simple, humble and self-effacing. For these ones will be reliable and will not corrupt the Message for their own advantage.

Every student of Knowledge must recognize the falsity of those who proclaim themselves in the name of the Creator or in the name of the spiritual agents. Use discernment. Use the criteria that we have given. Pay special attention to those who claim that all they want is to become servants of God. Because before you know it, if it hasn’t happened already, they are servants and they are delivering messages. And they think that they are really high and advanced and very endowed. Look at these people and look at their communication. Knowledge will only respond to Knowledge. So if Knowledge in you does not respond, you had better move on.

Already, there have been those who have proclaimed themselves to Marshall as his partners in the Revelation, saying that they have part of the Message and that he has another part. And he has had to deny them. For they were all mistaken.

You will hear these individuals, and they will arise in your midst, proclaiming even that they are emissaries for The Greater Community Way, saying that one person is not enough, that there must be many messengers. But we have made it very clear that this is not how the Revelation is brought into the world. This is not how true initiation takes place.

Some people will say, “Well, this is all about Marshall. He is claiming that he is the one and denying anyone else who claims that they have spiritual gifts as well.” But this is not true. Marshall has been chosen. He did not choose himself. He has only denied those who claimed to share this authority with him because he was required to do this. We know everyone wants to be special, and some people want to be spiritually special to the point even where they believe that they are spiritually special and that their “specialness” has been confirmed and anointed by greater spiritual powers. And they will look at Marshall and they will say, “Yes, yes, he is one of us, one of many, many emissaries.” And they may even say to those who follow them, “Oh, yes, you can be an emissary too. Just open yourself up and give yourself over.”

This is not about Marshall. Though he has been given a special task and a unique one at that, it is not about him. For when Marshall passes away, what he leaves will be great and deep and long lasting. That is a true sign that he is a real Emissary and a true Messenger, for the Message is not about him and is greater than he is. He may be the best authority in the world regarding the Message; he may be the teacher of the Message, but the Message is bigger. It is not about him. Marshall has special powers, but he will not proclaim them. No one will ever know really who and what he is except those who are very close to him and those few and rare people who can recognize this through the Sacred Writings.

Be careful then about anyone coming to claim that they too are emissaries of The Greater Community Way. For they are self-deceived and in some cases, they may be deceived by those who lead them.

It only takes one person to deliver a New Message from God, and this person will carry a great burden and face grave difficulties in life and will make many sacrifices. They will not be ambitious. They will not be self-proclaiming. Those who are chosen never have these qualities.

It takes one person to bring the Message. It takes many to implement the Message, to substantiate the Message and to demonstrate the Message. This is for everyone else. They have in many ways an easier task, a happier task, though this task has its great challenges as well.

One must use great discernment and discretion in finding their true path in life, for there are many options presented. There are many allurements. Some self-appointed spiritual teachers claim that they can make you a spiritual teacher. They can make anyone a spiritual teacher as if they have the power to appoint and anoint an emissary for God. They will say, “Yes, you too have a message from God; everyone has a message from God. Come to my seminar and I will show you how.” They think that they can provide this direction and bestow upon their followers these special gifts. They will say, “Yes, everyone has a unique gift from God.” Which is actually true; everyone does. But it is not to be an emissary.

Be very careful then. The true teacher and the true student can often go unnoticed because there is so much noise being made by those who are proclaiming themselves only. And because of the nature of the Intervention and the Pacification Program, you must take special care regarding these matters. For the proponents of the Intervention will more than likely be those who are self-serving and seek substantiation for themselves.

They all make the way harder for the true Emissary because now there is disappointment and suspicion. People recognize falsehood in many teachers and now they suspect all teachers, and so when the true Emissary comes, well, he will bear the brunt of this. He will be doubted, maligned and blamed for the failures of so many others who really could not substantiate themselves.

It is necessary that we give this perspective because people do not understand the nature of spiritual appointment. They do not understand that you are chosen and that you cannot choose yourself. They do not understand who is chosen and why they are chosen and what being an Emissary really means and requires.

There are many things that can be taught at many levels, and you can teach things as long as you do not appoint yourself special powers or gifts. Do not call yourself an emissary or a messenger from God. For whenever you think you are an emissary or a messenger, you can be sure that you are appointing yourself and have not been appointed.

The Creator is extremely careful about who is selected. And those selected will be very reluctant to make a proclamation of who and what they really are. They will go unnoticed amidst all of the noise, all of the wild statements that people make about themselves and their teachings and their messages. And the real student will have to be very, very patient in finding the real teacher because the real teachers are rare.
