 "Build real relationships. Begin with your relationship with Knowledge and develop character by developing patience, forbearance, restraint, objectivity, compassion, the ability to observe others and the ability to have your life be undefined. This builds character, and with this you gain a greater capacity for experience. This is Wisdom. And in order for you to be a vehicle for Knowledge in life-to be an inspiration to others and to give your life wholeheartedly-you must have this foundation and you must have your essential relationships."

 "So at some point, hopefully, you get serious about your life.... You begin to see there is a deeper current, a deeper need, a deeper reality within you, and you see this in others, and you begin to see it everywhere.... Whatever you are doing today is either helping you or hindering you in this great discovery. There are no neutral relationships.

Even if they are wonderful, loving people, they are either hindering you or helping you in this great discovery.
-For God knows you cannot make this discovery alone. You will need relationships that are associated with your higher purpose. You will need to be with people who are making the same discoveries themselves. You will need this reinforcement. You will need this companionship. You will need this to begin to have faith in the greater purpose that has brought you here, in the Greater Reality that is within you. You will need relationships to bear witness to this. You need to be free to find these relationships.

 "A misunderstanding here could be very damaging and dangerous.
 For you will hear various voices, but you will not know what to listen to.
 Without the deeper Knowledge within you that God has placed there to guide you, how can you tell the difference?
 And if you cannot respond to the Revelation from God, how will you respond to the truth in anything?"

-"The New Revelation is calling upon you to respond to Knowledge within yourself and to listen to the Voice of Revelation. You will have many questions, of course. You may have fears and suspicions. You may have grave doubts. That is all to be expected. But the challenge for you is, can you respond to the New Revelation? Can you hear the Voice of Revelation? Can you have the humility and the responsibility to see that you are living at a time of Revelation and what this might mean for you? What is your responsibility in this matter? What does this calling mean for you? Do not concern yourself with other people if the calling is for you. This is between you and God, between you and Us. We are the only Angelic Presence overseeing the world. Choose other voices and you will choose voices from the Greater Community, who will take advantage of humanity’s religious assumptions. They can project voices into the world as well. How will you know the difference? How can you tell what is true from what is false, what is good from what only looks good? The challenge is upon the listener. God is being real with you. Can you be real with God? God is being honest with you. Can you be honest with God? God is serving you and assisting you in ways you cannot serve yourself. Can you accept this and follow the preparation that God is giving to save humanity? The burden is upon the listener. The proof is in the nature of your response. The proof is in what it calls for in you and your resonance with the truth of the Revelation. God speaks the truth through the Angelic Presence. Can you hear this, feel this and respond to this? Or is your mind so fixated, so bound in its beliefs, fears and suspicions that it cannot hear, it cannot respond?"

 "In taking the steps to Knowledge, you learn how to still the mind, how to listen within yourself and how to discern the voice and the movement of Knowledge from all the other voices in your mind—the voice of your parents, the voice of your teachers, the voice of your culture, the voice of your friends, the voice of your fear, the voice of your desire, the voice of your self-doubt, the voice of your self-criticism—all these other voices that reside within you.
