Established

"Your deeper purpose was created before you came into the world. Your destiny was established before you came into the world. It is not the providence of the intellect."

"It speaks of the deeper conscience of humanity, the conscience that was established before you even came here, to be your guide and counsel in all things important."

"Be amongst the first to respond so that your greater gifts in life may be established and have an opportunity to come forth in the days and the years of your life."

Essential

"Knowledge represents your most profound and important relationship. If this is not established, if this is not fully established, then your relationship with everyone else will be out of sync—lacking clarity and purpose, lacking meaning—and your life will be filled with people, engagements, activities and commitments that will never create a real opening for you."

Divine

"People want many things, but most of all they need the deeper experience, the true connection, for this meets the need of the soul and begins to re-establish true integrity and balance within yourself."

"It is the need of the soul to find its purpose and fulfill it in the world, within the circumstances of the world. This is what re-establishes your divine nature. This is what fulfills your commitment to God."

Fundamental and Real

"You have a real relationship with the Unseen Ones. You have a fundamental relationship with Knowledge and a responsibility to Knowledge. You have a real relationship with your Spiritual Family, who have sent you into the world to become a contributor. You have a real relationship with the natural world, which is the arena of life into which you have come to participate and to contribute. You have a real relationship with your mind, which is the vehicle for your contribution and communication. You have a real relationship with your physical body, which is the vehicle for your mind and for you to be able to participate in the world and to reach people while you are here. With Knowledge, these relationships become revealed and re-established in your awareness."

Not Certain

"You are not here to understand life; you are here to serve life. And Knowledge has your form of service and contribution already established. Now how this works out is dependent upon many things in the world, so everything that occurs is not preordained. Your direction is preordained. Your gift is preordained. But how it will be expressed, where it will be expressed, or even if it will be expressed is dependent upon the situation in the world. It is dependent upon whether people who are meant to be part of your service make their rendezvous with you. It depends on the conditions of life. It depends on many things, mostly beyond your control."

"These are others who you will have to find in life. They will not be the charming personalities and the beautiful faces and the gracious social behavior that draw so many people. They will not even be people who you could love or for whom you have some past association. Most of those people will not share your future even if you have had a distant past association with them. You will need Knowledge now, for it alone within you will know. It will see. It will respond. If that other person is not ready, well, it will be a tragedy for you. That does not mean your life is over. It just means that another plan will have to be established for you. Your journey will be longer and more uncertain as a result."

Not Subject for Debate

"This is not an ideological debate. It is not an intellectual problem. It is more fundamental than this. It is a question of whether you will follow your deeper conscience or your own fear and insecurity. There may be much debate on how cooperation can be established and how it can be established in an equitable manner, and this will require great work, of course. But the choice within the individual is very elemental."

Established through long practice

"Humanity’s overuse and abuse of the world is now changing the natural balance, and this change is not in your favor. And even at this moment, nations and peoples do not seem to comprehend the magnitude of what is happening. People do not want to give up their privileges. Networks of trade and the exploitation of resources are now well established. People do not want to restrain themselves."

"Many people are circumscribed by the relationships that they have established before they have reached a point in life where they could discover their greater purpose."
