Humanity

Short Quotes

"Human culture, human ethics, human beliefs, human economics, human politics, human relationships, human involvements—these are all human creations. They are not Divine creations."

"Human beliefs, human attitudes, human emotions, human social conventions—all ... keep humanity in a primitive and undeveloped state."

"If you could understand the evolution of life in other worlds, you would see how much humanity has achieved, despite its many errors. You would see that religion in this world has actually gone very far."

"Humanity is not the centerpiece of the Creation, only one of its developing aspects. This represents a tremendous breakthrough in understanding. This represents a great threshold in self-realization and the ability to effectively engage with the world." >ref>Wisdom from The Greater Community, vol. 2, chap. 10, p. 115</ref>

Long Quotes

"Humanity does not have much time to prepare and to determine what kind of future it will have.... You do not have decades to consider these things, for you have set in motion change in the world now that will accelerate and will be beyond your control and is even today beyond your control."

"Despite humanity’s long existence in this world, you are a young race—immature, unwary and unsuspecting. You have many great qualities. You have kept spirituality and creativity alive in the world, where they have died in so many other worlds—advanced technological worlds that are sterile and secular, where individual freedom is unknown. You have great promise. But you have great problems, and you have some disabilities as well—the tendency towards human denial. And your tribalism, which has served you in the past, can blind you now."

Humanity as Viewed from the Greater Community

"[Some extraterrestrial races] consider you brutish and self-destructive, and they seek to gain whatever they can from you before you destroy yourselves."
