Meant for you
"If this Teaching is for you, then claim it you must and claim it you should, whether it seems to meet your expectations and preferences or not." [1]
Directives
"Why is Wisdom important for you? Because it will harmonize your life. It will establish the priorities of your life and bring you back into right relationship with yourself and with everyone around you. Consider these words. Consider how great this gift is and how essential it is for your well-being, your advancement and your contribution in life." [2]
The New Message is for you
"Wisdom is meant for you who can understand these words and respond to them. You must be the first recipient. Do not think of your friend or your brother or your sister or your mother or your father whom you would like to restore or change in some way to make them easier for you to be with. Wisdom is not for them; it is for you. Everything we say is about you and for you. Do not look over your shoulder. Do not point across the street. Do not think of someone else who is having difficulty in their life right now and think, 'Oh, this would be so good for them' No, this is for you. They may not be ready for this. They may not be interested. This may not be their way. They may not even have a way for a very long time." [3]
"The calling is for you, The world is a proving ground for you, regardless of what other people do or do not do, or say or do not say. The challenge is for you. You must understand this or you will defray your responsibility onto others. You say, 'Well, what are people going to do? How can i share this with people? And how are people going to change?' That is trying to pass along the responsibility to someone else. If you think of the general public, you will become discouraged, most assuredly, but that is not where your focus needs to be." [4]
Encouragement to begin and to persevere in The Way of Knowledge
"How life confirming this is for you who can receive it."[5]
"If this is meant for you, you must persevere. How do you know if it is meant for you? Because you know to persevere. You give yourself to this. You do not give yourself up to this. You give yourself to this. There is a very great difference." [6]
"We give you great encouragement to begin preparation in The Way of Knowledge. To learn Greater Community Knowledge and Wisdom, we give you great encouragement to begin The Greater Community Way of Knowledge, which is a specific preparation for those whose purpose resides in understanding the greater context of life and the greater movement of the world. You will know if this is for you. Knowledge will initiate your preparation and will reaffirm your preparation in times of doubt and in times of false confidence when you believe you have attained something." [7]
“Do not think that if the journey is meant for you, it will be easy and you will not have times of great conflict. Do not think that if this is meant for you, you will be able to pass through the thresholds without great effort and determination. Do not think that if this is meant for you, you will not have times of great misgiving and doubt. How will you know if this is right for you? Because you will know, and as Knowledge becomes stronger in you, you will be able to proceed where others have departed.” [6]
"Many people are afraid of The Way of Knowledge because they think that it will take away from them things that they want, challenge their goals, threaten their cherished possessions, or disappoint their hopes. This is all foolishness. There is nothing at risk here except the things that you do not really want, the things that you want that you cannot really have and the things that you try to be that are not meant for you. Those are at risk, but it is better that they fail you now rather than later lest you invest more of your life and yourself in them. These are things that cannot yield any real value for you." [8]
