Excerpts
[Y]ou must now see your life in a greater way. You must see yourself not just as a person struggling to be happy and to get along, but as a person who was sent here on a mission—a mission which is yet to be realized, a mission of great importance both for the present and for the future, a mission that restores your greater power and your greater relationships to you. [1]
"When you leave the world, you go home to your Spiritual Family. You go home to inherent reality, with either your mission completed or your mission left undone." [2]
"The world is like a slowly burning ship at this time. People want to get off the ship, but you are sent here to help the ship. If you go back prematurely to your Spiritual Family, and they say, “What are you doing here?” And you say, “Oh, I am so glad to get out of there! It was terrible down there!” And they say, “What? You aren’t due back for twenty years! Did you give them the messages?” And you say, “What messages?” Then you remember. Then you remember all about getting ready to go into the world. Then you remember the whole thing, and you say, “Oh, no! I completely forgot!” [3]
