"God is speaking now to the world through the New Message from God and through the Messenger that has been sent to the world to prepare humanity to face a world in decline—a world whose resources are diminishing; a world where people will have to cooperate with one another and end their ceaseless conflicts; a world that is entering a dangerous period, more dangerous than any period you have ever known; a world that is facing contact with life in the universe; a world that is facing intervention from races from the universe who are here to take advantage of a weak and divided humanity.

"There is a New Message from God.
 
 
The human family as a whole has never had to face these two great challenges—living in a world in decline and facing competition from beyond the world for who will control the world and who will be pre-eminent here. The great Messages that God has sent into the world [before] cannot prepare you for this. That is why there is a New Message from God.
 
  
 
Never think that God has stopped communicating to the world. Never think that the final Message for all time has been given. This is human presumption. This is established to protect a belief and an ideology.

But God watches over the world. And humanity is now facing its greatest challenges as a whole. How will it respond? How will it prepare? Will it be able to comprehend the great change that is coming? Will it fight and struggle with itself over the remaining resources? Will it unite to defend the world against foreign intervention? This is a time of great decision: whether humanity will fail or whether humanity will unite for its preservation and to preserve its sovereignty in this world.

You see right away here how far beyond your own personal preoccupations this is—beyond your daily concerns, beyond your ideas, beyond your beliefs, beyond your religious understanding, beyond your political views, beyond the need of the day. If you are only consumed with the needs of the day, how will you see the Great Waves of change that are coming that will alter the landscape? How will you read the signs of the world that speak of greater things beyond your own personal concerns? How will you know when something is about to change your life? Will you be standing on the shore when the Great Waves come, your back to the sea—not watching, not looking, not listening?
 
 
That is why God’s Great Messages transcend the understanding and the awareness of the people at the time that the great Messages are given. You will have to have a much greater perspective and be much higher on the mountain to see the relevance and importance of this." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/one-god  ''The One God''] , Chapter 10: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/one-god/how-god-speaks-to-the-world How God Speaks to the World] </ref>

"This Teaching that you are receiving is not to frighten you into action. It is not to overwhelm you. It is not to diminish you. It is not to discourage you. But you must face reality. You must be prepared and given forewarning of what is coming over the horizon. For if you do not look, you will not see. If you do not see, you will not know. If you do not know, you will not prepare. And if you do not prepare, your life will be in great danger.

That is why there is a New Message from God in the world. It is here to warn you, to strengthen you and to prepare you for the Great Waves of change and for the reality of the Greater Community and all of its challenges and opportunities for humanity.
 
  
 
The New Message is also here to strengthen the individual, to teach people about spirituality at the level of Knowledge, to bring a unifying presence and teaching to all the world’s religions, to strengthen human relationships, human families, human commitments and human contribution. It represents a very rare intervention by God for the protection and advancement of humanity. It is a very great Teaching and a great Revelation. Do not think that you can understand it standing apart from it, for you must receive it and bring it into your life, use and apply its wisdom and bring its specific teachings to bear. Only then will you know the power and efficacy of the New Message. And only then will you realize what a blessing it is and how it has come at just the right time." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-5/great-waves-change ''The Great Waves of Change''], Chapter 13: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-5/great-waves-change/a-new-message-of-hope A New Message of Hope]</ref>

It does not know how to prepare itself for a universe of intelligent life—a competitive environment on a scale you cannot even imagine. That is why there is a New Message from God in the world—to provide the Revelation, to provide the warning, to provide the encouragement and to provide the preparation.

Here you must become a person who can function in the Greater Community, a person who can think in terms of the whole world, a person who is not limited and constrained by a previous understanding that is far too limited and insufficient to enable you to perceive your changing circumstances and the great challenges that are coming.

Here the New Revelation opens doors, expands your awareness and perception, liberates you from old ideas that will never allow you to see the present and the future, to free you from condemnation and to bring back to you the mystery and the power of your life and greater purpose in the world.

God has a Greater Plan for the human family, but this Plan can only be followed individually through Knowledge, through cooperation and recognition between peoples, through environmental responsibility, through accountability to the human family, through humility and simplicity without arrogance, without condemnation, without self-righteousness. For these are all a human invention.
 
  
And they are not limited to humanity alone. Such tendencies exist throughout the universe. It is the result of Separation, the great Separation from God that set in motion the creation and the expansion of the physical universe. The physical universe is but a small part of God’s Creation.
 
  
But this remains for you to learn. You have a greater journey and destiny to take here. But you will have to allow your mind to expand, your eyes to open and your ears to hear if you are to gain this greater preparation and understanding." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/one-god ''The One God''], Chapter 2: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/one-god/new-god-revelation  The New God Revelation]</ref>

"There is a New Message from God in the world.
 
 
 
 
"You may think your situation cannot be resolved, but God resolves everything because God calls you out. God calls you out of your predicament. God calls you out of your state of mind. God calls you into a greater awareness and a greater service in the world.
 
 
 
Even if you are poor, even if you have very little, even if you are facing tremendous difficulties and adversities, there is the power and the pull of God within you, the power and the pull of Knowledge.
 
 
 
This applies to everyone. To the person who is hungry, it gives them food. To the person who needs shelter, it gives them shelter. To the person who needs clothes, it gives them clothes. To the person who needs reassurance, it gives them reassurance. To the person who needs security, it gives them security. Beyond that, meeting those fundamental needs, the great gift is the gift of Knowledge.
 
 
 
The New Message from God has been sent into the world to clarify this, for it has been lost and forgotten to the vast majority of people. And the need for it is great. It is immense. It is fundamental.
 
 
 
Humanity will not make it in the future without the power of Knowledge resonant within enough people. And that is why there is a New Message from God in the world.
 
 
 
Humanity will not survive and advance if it struggles and fights over the remaining resources. That is why there is a New Message from God in the world.
 
  
 
This is not just for you and for your redemption and fulfillment. This is for the world. You have come for the world. You have come to provide assistance and service in a very specific way. Only Knowledge knows what that is, where that can happen, who that can happen with, under what circumstances and for what purpose.

If you can allow that to be a mystery in your life, then you can proceed. For there is so much work for you to do, just to repair and refocus your life, just to prepare for the Great Waves of change that are coming, just to get your life in order, just to get your mind in order. Certainly, this is enough work for you.

Let Knowledge do what only Knowledge can do. But you must do your part. This is not for the passive or the complacent, for the lazy and the indigent.

You must become stronger than you are today, more focused than you are today, more honest than you are today, more forgiving than you are today, more resilient than you are today. You will do your part, and Knowledge will do its part, and this will redeem you.
 
  
If you give yourself to God, God gives you back to the world. This is why you came. You cannot run away to God. You cannot lose yourself in God. God sent you here." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-2/love-and-relationships  ''Love and Relationships'']  ,  [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-2/love-and-relationships/sexuality-power-purpose  Sex and Sexuality] </ref>

"The world is moving. Move with it, and your life will be secured. And you will be able to navigate the difficult times ahead. Resist it, avoid it, deny it, and you will face great tragedy.

That is why there is a New Message from God in the world and why it must come from God to have the power, the clarity, the vision and the wisdom to speak not only to what people think and believe today, but to speak of things that people are unaware of, to answer questions that have not even yet been asked, to anticipate the needs of the future — to know that future, to reveal that future.
"While ancient wisdom is embedded in all the great religious traditions, none of them can prepare you for what you must do now. And that is why there is a New Message from God—not to compete with the world’s religions, not to overshadow them, but to unite them and to strengthen them so that their ancient wisdom can come to the fore and serve humanity in its changing circumstances at this great threshold in your evolution.
 
 
 
In hearing these words, your mind may object. Your mind may question. Your mind may doubt. Your mind may compare and contrast. But in your heart, you will know.
 
 
 
If you do not know your own heart, then you do not know what you know. If you do not know and are not aware of the wisdom that God has placed within you, then you will not know what you know. You will only be aware of what you think. And this is the condition of the vast majority of people in the world today.
 
 
 
So while you are facing the greatest challenge and the greatest threshold in your history, what is also being called for is this sacred Knowledge to emerge in many more people. There must be many more eyes looking. There must be greater objectivity. There must be greater clarity.
 
 
 
This wisdom that God has placed within you is not in competition with itself or in conflict with itself [in others]. It, therefore, represents the greatest force for unity, and peace and cooperation that is possible in this world or in any world.
 
 
 
This sacred Knowledge is a calling from God. It is here to guide you, to protect you and to lead you to a greater contribution to a world in need, which will fulfill the needs of your soul.
 
 
 
You do not know the need of your soul yet. The world must reveal it to you. Do not seek for comfort and consolation. Do not seek to run and escape. For you will never meet the need of your soul if you do this.
 
 
 
Your gifts are meant for certain people and certain situations. Knowledge will take you there. Knowledge will lead you there. It will not be your wishes and your fears and your preferences. It will be Knowledge." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/greater-community  ''The Greater Community''] , Chapter 7: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/greater-community/humanitys-destiny-in-the-greater-community  Humanity’s Destiny in the Greater Community] </ref>
 
 
 
 
 
"The world will inconvenience you so much in this age of uncertainty that you will have to turn to a Greater Power. God knows this, of course. That is why there is a New Message from God in the world today—a Message unlike any message that has been sent into the world before; a Message that is vast, speaking on many subjects clearly, definitively; a Message for a literate world where people from all nations can hear at once through the advances of technology.
 
 
 
It is not a Message communicated in pastoral terms or in anecdotes or stories. For God is speaking to a literate world now, a literate world whose needs are tremendous and whose time to prepare is very short.
 
 
 
You cannot avoid your destiny. You cannot avoid the evolution of the world. To do so is to put yourself in jeopardy as an individual and to forfeit your promise for the future.
 
 
 
It will take courage, certainly. It will take determination and some self-discipline to consider what is being revealed here. But every day the world is giving testimony to this, and this will increase with time.
 
 
 
God knows what is coming, but humanity is blind and foolish. The world has changed, but humanity has not changed with it. The conditions of the world are shifting, but humanity insists that life be as it was before.
 
 
 
This will be convulsive for people, and many will perish. Many will collapse, not only in the poorer nations but elsewhere because they cannot see beyond what they have invested in before. They will lose what they have gained. And many will lose their life itself.
 
 
 
It is to mitigate this, so that the transition can happen with the least loss and disaster, that the New Message is here now—speaking of what people do not see, pointing to a future that people cannot or will not look into, going beyond the evaluations for the year to see what is really coming over the horizon.
 
 
 
You cannot avoid now the Great Waves of change. They are in motion and have been in motion for a very long time. It is like a tidal wave. It appears small on the horizon, but it has been traveling for a long ways. It has tremendous power behind it, enough to alter the coastline of a nation and to alter the destiny of many people.
 
 
 
Hear these words with an open mind. Set aside your ideas and your opinions. Let your mind be still so that you can hear and see. This is not a matter of debate for the intellect, for the Revelation exists beyond the realm and the reach of the intellect. You must listen and be patient, look and see.
 
 
 
The world is moving. Move with it, and your life will be secured. And you will be able to navigate the difficult times ahead. Resist it, avoid it, deny it, and you will face great tragedy.
 
 
 
That is why there is a New Message from God in the world and why it must come from God to have the power, the clarity, the vision and the wisdom to speak not only to what people think and believe today, but to speak of things that people are unaware of, to answer questions that have not even yet been asked, to anticipate the needs of the future—to know that future, to reveal that future.
 
  
 
If people really knew what was coming over the horizon, they would behave very differently. They would rethink their position. They would reconsider their ideas. And over time, if they responded wisely, they would see that they would have to stop complaining about everything and begin to take greater responsibility for their lives and circumstances. This is a very maturing process for the individual, and for the nations as well." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/new-world  ''The New World''] , Chapter 11: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/new-world/great-transition-one-world-community The Great Transition] </ref>

"You work for the good. You will try to alleviate suffering. But you must do this under the guidance of Knowledge, or the world will capture you and take you away. You will fall into its divisions and its conflicts. You will take sides, and you will struggle, and you will fight.
+
"There is a New Message from God in the world because it is only this New Message that can save humanity. It is only this New Message now that can overlook the divisions of humanity—the divisions of culture, the divisions of religion, the divisions of race and economic power. It is only this great faith that is unaffected by the past—by the turbulent, violent and grave history of the human family.
  
Even your desire to serve humanity must be guided by this greater power within you. Otherwise, your desire to give will be built upon your own ambitions, your own ideals, your own grievances. It will not be pure and it will not be effective. Your desire for a better world, and even your ideas to establish a better world in whatever field that you are interested in or in which you have expertise, must also be guided by Knowledge, or your ideas and your actions will not be effective.
+
This is the need of the soul: the need to find and fulfill its mission in the world. For you are not here by accident. You have not simply washed upon the shore. You have come for a purpose. You have come to serve a world in need and to make a unique and specific contribution. But only Knowledge within you really knows what this is." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/pure-religion  ''The Pure Religion''] , Chapter 2: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/pure-religion/the-great-faith The Great Faith] </ref>
 
 
For only God has an answer for the future. You do not have an answer. The change that is upon humanity is far too great for your intellect to comprehend. It is far too great for your intellect to solve without this great faith and without this great power.
 
 
 
In a way, you and humanity itself [have been driven] to a point of desperation where you must find the power of Knowledge or risk failure and collapse.
 
 
 
That is why there is a New Message from God in the world because it is only this New Message that can save humanity.

"God is pointing you to the Mystery, not to the manifestation. God is calling you into the Mystery, not prescribing the manifestation. If you want to have more saints in the world, if you want to have truly inspiring individuals in the world, if you want humanity to have a higher standard that is born not out of an oppressive regime, but out of a natural understanding, then you must guide people to the power of the Mystery.
+
"There is a New Message from God — to restore the clarity and the purpose of religion and the meaning of spiritual practice and the nature of the Divine revelation that must happen within each person.
 
 
Religion, you see, does not have an answer for every social and political problem, but it does give people access to the deeper Intelligence that can guide people effectively in meeting all these needs. Religion must be free of the state and it must be free of politics, which will only taint and corrupt it to the point where those who claim to be holy men will call for the execution of people.
 
 
 
This is the degree of distortion and aberrancy that has been established in the world today, and that is why there is a New Message from God—to restore the clarity and the purpose of religion and the meaning of spiritual practice and the nature of the Divine revelation that must happen within each person.
 
  
 
It is not enough to celebrate a great teacher’s Revelation if you cannot find access to your own. It is not enough to worship a great teacher or emancipator unless you can find this power and this presence within your life, which will apply itself in far more mundane and simple day-to-day circumstances.

"God’s New Revelation for the world could have a remarkable impact on the world’s religions, opening them up to a greater panorama of life, making them more universal and complete. But who within these traditions can accept that there is a New Message from God and that a Messenger has been sent into the world, a member of the Angelic Assembly, who is charged with overseeing this world and its development and progress? Who has the eyes to see, the ears to hear and the heart to know?

...  
This is why the Message and the Messenger must be protected—to keep this sacred, to keep this pure—as much as possible. This protection must happen within your own mind and heart.
 
 
 
You must be willing to have your life reshaped by the greater Knowledge that God has put within you, for this opens the door to a new life—a life of greater purpose, meaning and relationship.
 
 
 
You must keep the pathway pure within yourself first. That is where the protection begins, you see. It is not merely defending it [the Revelation] against criticism and condemnation. It is maintaining its pure pathway within yourself, returning always to the Revelation to learn with greater clarity.
 
 
 
The Revelation is the largest ever given to this world. It brings with it great clarification. It is not merely left up to human commentary or scholars or pundits in the future to describe what it means—those who never knew the Messenger and whose understanding is so very incomplete.
 
 
 
 
God is bringing the Revelation to the people, not to the religious experts or the political experts or the leaders of nations. For they are far too constrained and compromised to understand something of this nature unless they realize within themselves that a greater Revelation must be given and that they must receive it and protect it against all harm and misuse.

==The Warning==
 
==The Warning==
  
"The whole human family has entered a situation now where the stakes are so high there is no room to maneuver. There are no new lands to conquer. The world is being used up. It is filled.
+
"There is a New Message from God in the world because humanity is destroying its self-sufficiency, humanity is standing at the edge of space, and humanity is already experiencing forces that are intervening in its world, without its control and without its permission.
  
Therefore, humanity cannot behave as it has always behaved. And the greater aspects of human nature must now be brought to bear. And its darker aspects must be arrested and controlled and contained. This is the great trial for humanity. This is a great need of humanity.
+
Though there are great perils facing humanity regarding the deterioration of your environments, climate change, decline of life-giving resources and so forth, the greatest peril—the peril that could end human sovereignty forever in this world — lurks in the background, awaiting the moment when humanity will bring itself to its knees through conflict, through deprivation, through war and through further decline of the world’s environment.
  
Humanity has reached a great threshold now. Your ability to survive and to advance will be determined within the next decade. Do not assume that humanity will succeed. Do not give yourself this false confidence. Do not think, “Oh, we’ve been through all these problems before, we’ve always survived, we’ve always managed, we have always pulled ourselves through.” Do not give yourself these assurances. Do not think that because the human spirit is strong that humanity’s success is guaranteed.
+
God has given this world to humanity as a splendid place, as a paradise in a universe full of barren worlds. If you should ruin it, if you should exhaust its life-giving resources, if you should exhaust its biological diversity, then you will have to face the consequences, which will be far more terrible and far more longlasting than anything humanity as a whole has ever faced before.
  
You now face competition from beyond the world. There are competing forces seeking advantage here even now. You have never had to face them before. They are not like those who have visited the world from before. They care not for the value of humanity, and freedom is unknown to them. To them this world, and even humanity itself, are only resources to be used and exploited. Do not think, then, in the face of all this that humanity will continue and advance, for you are not only subject to the risk of decline in the world, you are also subject to the risk of subjugation from beyond.
+
Your real destiny is to emerge within this Greater Community of intelligent life as a free and sovereign race, but this requires that you meet the three requirements that are essential for any race to have such a privileged position in the universe. You must be self-sufficient. You must be united. And you must be extremely discreet." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/greater-community ''The Greater Community''] , Chapter 9: [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/greater-community/protecting-the-world Protecting the World] </ref>
  
That is why there is a New Message from God in the world because without this New Message, humanity would not see, it would not know and it would not act appropriately. It would not prepare for a future that will be unlike the past. It will not recognize the gravity of the situation. And it will not alter its course, its direction or its behavior.
 
  
This will require strength and courage from each person. Here you cannot be lazy and self-indulgent. Here you cannot be indifferent or ambivalent. For everything you value is at stake. Everything that humanity has ever created that is beneficial is at stake. Everything that you love is at stake. Every person. Every place. Everything." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/the-new-way-forward-for-humanity ''The New Way Forward for Humanity''], [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/the-new-way-forward-for-humanity/end-war-human-unity  What Will End War?]</ref>

"The great tragedy for humanity is that only the very poor are facing reality, for they have no choice. The wealthy are squandering themselves — their resources, their education, their time, their emphasis — on the most foolish and absurd fascinations and interests. It is too late for this now.
  
 +
That is why there is a New Message from God in the world because without this New Message, humanity will fail. Its failure will come incrementally, but it will come. And intervention in the world will take place without human awareness and without human resistance.

Do not deny this, for if you do, you are missing the great Message from the Creator. If you do not see the warning, you will not value the blessing, and you will not see the need for the preparation. For God’s New Message, which is meant for all the peoples of the world, is to provide this warning, this blessing and this preparation. Not everyone will be able to respond, but many will have to — from different nations, from different religions.

+
Everything is in the balance now. The fate of the world will be determined within the next few decades. That is an incredibly short period of time. Life is moving. Events are taking place. The results of humanity’s degradation and foolish use of the world are now moving on their own. Technology alone will not be an answer. There must be human recognition, courage and unity. Technology will only be a tool to help you, but without this recognition, this courage and this unity, technology will only hasten your demise." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/the-new-way-forward-for-humanity  ''The New Way Forward for Humanity'']  ,  [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-1/the-new-way-forward-for-humanity/what-will-save-humanity  What Will Save Humanity] </ref>

"There is a New Message from God in the world, you see, for humanity is facing the risk of collapse — the collapse of human civilization, the collapse of a stable world and certainly a just world, the gradual and incremental collapse of everything that is established for the good, the means by which individuals and groups and nations carry on essential and valuable and beneficial activities, as well as those that tend to be destructive and foolish in nature.
  
Without this, humanity is but awaiting its own self-destruction. It is but awaiting the growing influence of foreign powers here, who seek to take control of the world and the world’s peoples.
+
People have lost their connection to nature. They do not see that where the food is grown and how it is transported and shared is the most essential network that there is, in any society or civilization. They have forgotten that the quality and the availability of water is more important than any other resource could possibly be. They fail to see that the degradation of the environment is setting in motion the forces that could undermine their world and their lives.
  
This is revealed through the New Message from God. This is part of what has brought the New Message from God into the world.

You are full of superstition and self-importance and therefore do not realize the real meaning of a foreign presence in your world.

It is necessary here to begin by saying what love is not. Love is not fascination. Love is not fixation. Love is not attachment. Love is not romance where you are infatuated or taken with someone else’s appearance or some aspect of their personality. It is not idolatry, where you idolize someone, you worship someone—even a deity, even a messenger, even God. For these do not represent a real relationship, a working relationship, a relationship of united wills.

Love is not a behavior, an attitude or a mannerism. It is not etiquette. It is not convention. Love may express itself in many different ways—softly or forcibly. Love can appear meek. Love can appear strong. Love can challenge you. Love can criticize you. Love can expose your illusions, your fantasies and your self-deception. Love is not what people really mean when they talk about love in nearly all circumstances.

Love is a deeper power that moves people to do things that are different from their ideas, their beliefs and their sense of obligation. Love is something beyond the love you hear about in conversations. In fact, it is better to demonstrate love than to talk about it, for real love is demonstrated. It is what moves people to change their lives, to refocus their priorities, to associate with something deeper and more profound within themselves. It is something that has the power to override human ambition, human selfishness, human grievance, all partisan beliefs and attitudes and religious ideology. For love is not bound by these things. It is only restrained, held back or hidden by these things. Love moves on its own accord, being associated with the deeper Knowledge that God has placed within each person.

For you see, you were born with two minds—a mind to think with and a mind to know. The mind that you think with is a product of all of your social conditioning. It is a product of being in the world. It is an accumulation of ideas, associations and patterns of thinking that you have been learning since the day you were born. Much of this is useful, and some of it is hazardous and dangerous to you.
 
 
 
Certainly, you have had to learn how to survive in the world—how to survive physically, how to survive socially, how to participate within a family environment, within a culture and perhaps within a religious framework. You have had to learn how to communicate your ideas and feelings. You have had to learn what society has told you you have to learn. As We have said, some of this is useful and important, and some of this is hazardous and not in your best interests.
 
 
 
But you were born with a deeper mind, the mind of Knowledge. This mind does not think like your intellect thinks. It sees and it knows. It is not what people think of when they talk about the subconscious mind. That is more associated with your worldly mind, or intellect. This deeper mind is not subject to conditioning in the world. It is not patterned or conditioned by the world. It is not threatened or intimidated by the world. This deeper mind is called Knowledge in the New Message because it is related to the experience of direct knowing, the experience of affinity, the experience of true recognition and the experience of true relationship.
 
 
 
Real love emanates from Knowledge." <ref> [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-4/the-new-god-experience  ''The New God Experience'']  ,  [https://www.newmessage.org/the-message/volume-4/the-new-god-experience/the-great-love  The Great Love] </ref>
 

Revision as of 21:42, 21 June 2022

"There is a New Message from God in the World. It has come from the Creator of all life.

It has been translated into human language and understanding through the Angelic Presence that oversees this world.

It continues the great series of transmissions from the Creator that have occurred over centuries and millennia.

It is a New Message for this time and the times to come.

It fulfills the former Messages that have been given to humanity, and yet it reveals things that have never been shown to humanity before. For humanity is now facing a grave and perilous set of challenges, both within the world and from beyond the world.

The New Message from God is here to alert, to empower and to prepare the human family—people from all nations and religious traditions, from all tribes, groups and orientations. It has come at a time of great need, a time of great consequence. It is preparing people for things that have not even been recognized." [1]


"There is a New Message from God.

Never think that God has stopped communicating to the world. Never think that the final Message for all time has been given. This is human presumption. This is established to protect a belief and an ideology.

But God watches over the world. And humanity is now facing its greatest challenges as a whole. How will it respond? How will it prepare? Will it be able to comprehend the great change that is coming? Will it fight and struggle with itself over the remaining resources? Will it unite to defend the world against foreign intervention? This is a time of great decision: whether humanity will fail or whether humanity will unite for its preservation and to preserve its sovereignty in this world." [2]


The Calling

"There is a New Message from God in the world. It is here to warn you, to strengthen you and to prepare you for the Great Waves of change and for the reality of the Greater Community and all of its challenges and opportunities for humanity.

The New Message is also here to strengthen the individual, to teach people about spirituality at the level of Knowledge, to bring a unifying presence and teaching to all the world’s religions, to strengthen human relationships, human families, human commitments and human contribution. It represents a very rare intervention by God for the protection and advancement of humanity. It is a very great Teaching and a great Revelation. Do not think that you can understand it standing apart from it, for you must receive it and bring it into your life, use and apply its wisdom and bring its specific teachings to bear. Only then will you know the power and efficacy of the New Message. And only then will you realize what a blessing it is and how it has come at just the right time." [3]


"Humanity cannot save itself now. It cannot come up with one solution for the Great Waves of change. It does not know how to prepare itself for a universe of intelligent life—a competitive environment on a scale you cannot even imagine. That is why there is a New Message from God in the world — to provide the Revelation, to provide the warning, to provide the encouragement and to provide the preparation.

Here you must become a person who can function in the Greater Community, a person who can think in terms of the whole world, a person who is not limited and constrained by a previous understanding that is far too limited and insufficient to enable you to perceive your changing circumstances and the great challenges that are coming.

Here the New Revelation opens doors, expands your awareness and perception, liberates you from old ideas that will never allow you to see the present and the future, to free you from condemnation and to bring back to you the mystery and the power of your life and greater purpose in the world." [4]


"There is a New Message from God in the world.

This is not just for you and for your redemption and fulfillment. This is for the world. You have come for the world. You have come to provide assistance and service in a very specific way. Only Knowledge knows what that is, where that can happen, who that can happen with, under what circumstances and for what purpose.

If you can allow that to be a mystery in your life, then you can proceed. For there is so much work for you to do, just to repair and refocus your life, just to prepare for the Great Waves of change that are coming, just to get your life in order, just to get your mind in order. Certainly, this is enough work for you.

Let Knowledge do what only Knowledge can do. But you must do your part." [5]


"The world is moving. Move with it, and your life will be secured. And you will be able to navigate the difficult times ahead. Resist it, avoid it, deny it, and you will face great tragedy.

That is why there is a New Message from God in the world and why it must come from God to have the power, the clarity, the vision and the wisdom to speak not only to what people think and believe today, but to speak of things that people are unaware of, to answer questions that have not even yet been asked, to anticipate the needs of the future — to know that future, to reveal that future.

If people really knew what was coming over the horizon, they would behave very differently. They would rethink their position. They would reconsider their ideas. And over time, if they responded wisely, they would see that they would have to stop complaining about everything and begin to take greater responsibility for their lives and circumstances. This is a very maturing process for the individual, and for the nations as well." [6]


"There is a New Message from God in the world because it is only this New Message that can save humanity. It is only this New Message now that can overlook the divisions of humanity—the divisions of culture, the divisions of religion, the divisions of race and economic power. It is only this great faith that is unaffected by the past—by the turbulent, violent and grave history of the human family.

This is the need of the soul: the need to find and fulfill its mission in the world. For you are not here by accident. You have not simply washed upon the shore. You have come for a purpose. You have come to serve a world in need and to make a unique and specific contribution. But only Knowledge within you really knows what this is." [7]


Religion

"There is a New Message from God in the world, and one of the things that it calls for is the emergence of women leaders, particularly in the area of spirituality and religion. It is time now for certain women to be called into these greater roles and responsibilities, and it is important around the world in different quarters and in different religious traditions that this be allowed." [8]


"There is a New Message from God — to restore the clarity and the purpose of religion and the meaning of spiritual practice and the nature of the Divine revelation that must happen within each person.

It is not enough to celebrate a great teacher’s Revelation if you cannot find access to your own. It is not enough to worship a great teacher or emancipator unless you can find this power and this presence within your life, which will apply itself in far more mundane and simple day-to-day circumstances.

Here the contrast is significant and must be comprehended. If you want religion to be a thing, you will lose its essence and its meaning and turn it into something else that it was never meant to be. If you want to turn religion into a set of ideals and beliefs or a complex theology, you will lose what religion really is and what it is for." [9]


"While ancient wisdom is embedded in all the great religious traditions, none of them can prepare you for what you must do now. And that is why there is a New Message from God — not to compete with the world’s religions, not to overshadow them, but to unite them and to strengthen them so that their ancient wisdom can come to the fore and serve humanity in its changing circumstances at this great threshold in your evolution.

In hearing these words, your mind may object. Your mind may question. Your mind may doubt. Your mind may compare and contrast. But in your heart, you will know.

If you do not know your own heart, then you do not know what you know. If you do not know and are not aware of the wisdom that God has placed within you, then you will not know what you know. You will only be aware of what you think. And this is the condition of the vast majority of people in the world today." [10]


"God’s New Revelation for the world could have a remarkable impact on the world’s religions, opening them up to a greater panorama of life, making them more universal and complete. But who within these traditions can accept that there is a New Message from God and that a Messenger has been sent into the world, a member of the Angelic Assembly, who is charged with overseeing this world and its development and progress? Who has the eyes to see, the ears to hear and the heart to know? ... God is bringing the Revelation to the people, not to the religious experts or the political experts or the leaders of nations. For they are far too constrained and compromised to understand something of this nature unless they realize within themselves that a greater Revelation must be given and that they must receive it and protect it against all harm and misuse.

Therefore, this is your responsibility, those of you who can receive and respond. The gift is not for you alone. It is leading you to a greater level of service in the world." [11]


The Warning

"There is a New Message from God in the world because humanity is destroying its self-sufficiency, humanity is standing at the edge of space, and humanity is already experiencing forces that are intervening in its world, without its control and without its permission.

Though there are great perils facing humanity regarding the deterioration of your environments, climate change, decline of life-giving resources and so forth, the greatest peril—the peril that could end human sovereignty forever in this world — lurks in the background, awaiting the moment when humanity will bring itself to its knees through conflict, through deprivation, through war and through further decline of the world’s environment.

God has given this world to humanity as a splendid place, as a paradise in a universe full of barren worlds. If you should ruin it, if you should exhaust its life-giving resources, if you should exhaust its biological diversity, then you will have to face the consequences, which will be far more terrible and far more longlasting than anything humanity as a whole has ever faced before.

Your real destiny is to emerge within this Greater Community of intelligent life as a free and sovereign race, but this requires that you meet the three requirements that are essential for any race to have such a privileged position in the universe. You must be self-sufficient. You must be united. And you must be extremely discreet." [12]


"The great tragedy for humanity is that only the very poor are facing reality, for they have no choice. The wealthy are squandering themselves — their resources, their education, their time, their emphasis — on the most foolish and absurd fascinations and interests. It is too late for this now.

That is why there is a New Message from God in the world because without this New Message, humanity will fail. Its failure will come incrementally, but it will come. And intervention in the world will take place without human awareness and without human resistance.

Do not deny this, for if you do, you are missing the great Message from the Creator. If you do not see the warning, you will not value the blessing, and you will not see the need for the preparation. For God’s New Message, which is meant for all the peoples of the world, is to provide this warning, this blessing and this preparation. Not everyone will be able to respond, but many will have to — from different nations, from different religions.

Everything is in the balance now. The fate of the world will be determined within the next few decades. That is an incredibly short period of time. Life is moving. Events are taking place. The results of humanity’s degradation and foolish use of the world are now moving on their own. Technology alone will not be an answer. There must be human recognition, courage and unity. Technology will only be a tool to help you, but without this recognition, this courage and this unity, technology will only hasten your demise." [13]


"There is a New Message from God in the world, you see, for humanity is facing the risk of collapse — the collapse of human civilization, the collapse of a stable world and certainly a just world, the gradual and incremental collapse of everything that is established for the good, the means by which individuals and groups and nations carry on essential and valuable and beneficial activities, as well as those that tend to be destructive and foolish in nature.

People have lost their connection to nature. They do not see that where the food is grown and how it is transported and shared is the most essential network that there is, in any society or civilization. They have forgotten that the quality and the availability of water is more important than any other resource could possibly be. They fail to see that the degradation of the environment is setting in motion the forces that could undermine their world and their lives.

This failure to respond to the Great Waves of change is a fundamental one, and that is why people do not see the coming storms. They do not recognize the great risk. They do not see that things are in motion, greater forces now, that will alter the landscape of the world. And their actions will become more desperate, more foolish and more shortsighted. And officials elected or who rise to power through force will be more ignorant and more blind." [14]


The Intervention

"You seem pre-eminent in your own world, even though you have been careless stewards of the world itself, but you are a weak and divided race in the Greater Community, and that makes you tremendously vulnerable. You are destroying your ability to be self-sufficient in the future, which also makes you incredibly vulnerable in the universe. You are full of superstition and self-importance and therefore do not realize the real meaning of a foreign presence in your world. You think it is here to gratify you, to save you, or to acknowledge you, and you fail to see it merely represents competition, which in itself is a reality of nature, of the physical reality. ... That is why there is a New Message from God in the world, you see, for these great times, this great threshold that humanity is facing. The consequence of its destruction of the world and misuse of the world, and the consequence of its evolution, which eventually would bring it into the Greater Community itself — only God can prepare you for these things. And that is why there is a New Message from God in the world." [15]


"There is a New Message from God in the world because humanity is destroying its self-sufficiency, humanity is standing at the edge of space, and humanity is already experiencing forces that are intervening in its world, without its control and without its permission.

Though there are great perils facing humanity regarding the deterioration of your environments, climate change, decline of life-giving resources and so forth, the greatest peril—the peril that could end human sovereignty forever in this world — lurks in the background, awaiting the moment when humanity will bring itself to its knees through conflict, through deprivation, through war and through further decline of the world’s environment.

God has given this world to humanity as a splendid place, as a paradise in a universe full of barren worlds. If you should ruin it, if you should exhaust its life-giving resources, if you should exhaust its biological diversity, then you will have to face the consequences, which will be far more terrible and far more longlasting than anything humanity as a whole has ever faced before.

Your real destiny is to emerge within this Greater Community of intelligent life as a free and sovereign race, but this requires that you meet the three requirements that are essential for any race to have such a privileged position in the universe. You must be self-sufficient. You must be united. And you must be extremely discreet." [16]


"You now face competition from beyond the world. There are competing forces seeking advantage here even now. You have never had to face them before. They are not like those who have visited the world from before. They care not for the value of humanity, and freedom is unknown to them. To them this world, and even humanity itself, are only resources to be used and exploited. Do not think, then, in the face of all this that humanity will continue and advance, for you are not only subject to the risk of decline in the world, you are also subject to the risk of subjugation from beyond.

That is why there is a New Message from God in the world because without this New Message, humanity would not see, it would not know and it would not act appropriately. It would not prepare for a future that will be unlike the past. It will not recognize the gravity of the situation. And it will not alter its course, its direction or its behavior.

This will require strength and courage from each person. Here you cannot be lazy and self-indulgent. Here you cannot be indifferent or ambivalent. For everything you value is at stake. Everything that humanity has ever created that is beneficial is at stake. Everything that you love is at stake. Every person. Every place. Everything." [17]


"You may perhaps wonder what has been flying in your skies for the last many decades. And if you are aware of it at all, you may wonder why there have been sightings all over your world for many decades. If you have taken the time to look into this carefully and objectively, you must come to the conclusion that a visitation is underway, and that it is secret in nature. It is being carried out surreptitiously, its intentions and activities hidden from public awareness. Even governments hide from their populations what little they know about the foreign presence, the extraterrestrial presence that is in the world today.

There is no one in the world who can prepare you for the realities of life in the universe, and that is why there is a New Message from God in the world. Its purpose is to prepare humanity for the Great Waves of change that are coming, and to prepare humanity for its encounter with life in the universe, and to prepare humanity to recognize its greater spiritual power that has the strength to unite humanity and to provide humanity a greater future, a future that will be unlike the past." [18]


"Who in the world today knows that humanity is being watched from others in the universe, your neighbors who seek to take advantage of a weak and divided humanity? If nations understood this, war would cease. They would prepare humanity to safeguard the world.

What humanity sees and what humanity must see are not yet even close. That is why there is a New Message from God because time is of the essence. You do not have decades or a century to prepare, for the Great Waves are moving, and Intervention into the world has already begun." [19]


"There is a New Message from God in the world. It resonates with all the Messages that God has ever sent into the world. And yet it presents wisdom and insight and comprehension beyond what has ever been given to humanity before.

For you stand at the threshold of the Greater Community now. You cannot be foolish and divided in the face of this greater panorama of life if you have any hope of maintaining your freedom there. There are other forces intervening in the world who seek to gain control of the world and the world’s peoples. For you live on a beautiful planet, a planet that is valued by others. You live in a world that is a gem in the universe, a world that you are despoiling and exploiting. And others seek to intervene to preserve this world and these resources for themselves.

You are the foolish stewards of a beautiful place. You must unite to protect it and to safeguard it and to learn to use it wisely or it will surely be lost. It will surely be lost to others." [20]

Love

"There is a New Message from God in the world, and love is part of its Message.

It is necessary here to begin by saying what love is not. Love is not fascination. Love is not fixation. Love is not attachment. Love is not romance where you are infatuated or taken with someone else’s appearance or some aspect of their personality. It is not idolatry, where you idolize someone, you worship someone—even a deity, even a messenger, even God. For these do not represent a real relationship, a working relationship, a relationship of united wills.

Love is not a behavior, an attitude or a mannerism. It is not etiquette. It is not convention. Love may express itself in many different ways—softly or forcibly. Love can appear meek. Love can appear strong. Love can challenge you. Love can criticize you. Love can expose your illusions, your fantasies and your self-deception. Love is not what people really mean when they talk about love in nearly all circumstances.

Love is a deeper power that moves people to do things that are different from their ideas, their beliefs and their sense of obligation. Love is something beyond the love you hear about in conversations. In fact, it is better to demonstrate love than to talk about it, for real love is demonstrated. It is what moves people to change their lives, to refocus their priorities, to associate with something deeper and more profound within themselves. It is something that has the power to override human ambition, human selfishness, human grievance, all partisan beliefs and attitudes and religious ideology. For love is not bound by these things. It is only restrained, held back or hidden by these things. Love moves on its own accord, being associated with the deeper Knowledge that God has placed within each person." [21]
