Talk:Context

Patricia on Context on 7/25/20 Campfire Chat

So many of us are calibrated to a larger “Context”, but don’t know it and haven’t recognized the need for this “Greater Context” yet. For many, this may be what fuels their search and why no matter what/who/where, life seems somewhat confusing or out of focus. It’s almost like a pair of glasses that you need in order to see clearly, but that you are not wearing.

I often wonder how many people would say or ask of of themselves, if they were so aware, “Yes, I am a greater-community-whole-world kind of person?”

Just hearing the Voice of the New Message speak the words “Greater Community” for the first time years ago, turned on a flood light in my mind. The haze, the diffusion and conflicting perspectives and goals subsided for a moment. I thought to myself, “Oh God, that’s it! “The Greater Community.” And then a feeling of gigantic relief, “I can finally be here. The missing piece is missing no more for me. I accept this place. I can be here. Home has been here all along with everything else. This place, this world is part of a Greater Community and so am I….”

Chapter 2 of Preparing for the Greater Community mentions the word “context” some 19 times. I encourage you to go read it again. So many people are calibrated to this “Greater Context”, but don’t even know their unconscious search for this major missing piece is fueling their hesitancy in life— indecision, ambivalence, distrust, questioning, doubting, inability to commit or more. There really is a critical missing piece for them, a Greater Context. For some it is God of the Greater Community. For others it is the vast, limit-less, greater intelligence of Knowlege. For many of us it several of these or all of them at once!

“Find the greater context, and you will find your greater self and your greater purpose and your greater meaning. The context exists. It is here. It is real. It is now. It is all around you.”

“You may say, “Oh, this seems too great! I cannot even comprehend it. It is too much of a challenge.” It may be too much for your thinking mind, but it is perfect for your Being and your nature. You will absolutely thrive within such a greater context”

If you are to teach the restoration of Knowledge within the world, which is your purpose, then you must learn to reclaim it for yourself in the areas of greatest personal preference." SOH 166
