Truths Wey You Must Sabi about di Greater Community

As dem receive am
for January 30, 1997
for Boulder, Colorado

As We dey present di reality of di Greater Community and how important e be to humanity for dis time, We sabi say We dey challenge plenty of di ideas wey pipo like pass and wey dem hold dear inside human cultures today. We dey raise plenty questions and maybe plenty confusion. But dis na di reality wey dem must present, and pipo must find one way to understand wetin e mean and to grow pass dem old ideas if dose ideas dey block dem from doing dis.

Becos humanity still dey for one very young stage of im development, e full wit plenty ideals and superstitions wey no get anytin to do wit reality. Instead, dem be di desires and di fears of human consciousness. Pipo fit hold dem strong sotay e go hard well well for pipo to hear anytin new. E fit hard well well for dem to see clear and to understand clear wetin dis book dey present.

We understand dis difficulties, and We go try make di realities wey We dey present clear as We fit make dem. But you must still understand say na you go do di work to reach di place to stand where you fit see for yourself. E no enough make you just believe wetin dis book dey present. You must experience am for yourself, and you must fit see am clear. For dis one, na you dey do most of di work.

If you stay inside di tins wey dey occupy your mind, if you stay inside human ideals and beliefs, you no go fit see di bigger picture, and you no go fit recognise di greater forces, inside you and inside di world wey surround you, wey dey shape your life and your destiny. So den, We dey bring one big challenge wit Our message. We understand how big e be.

Humanity na just one more race wey dey come out into di Greater Community. Across di wide network of societies and cultures inside di Greater Community, oda races dey for dis moment wey dey different stages of coming out into di Greater Community. Some of dem don pass where you dey now. Odas still dey far behind.

So dis na very natural process, di same way e natural to grow from young person go adult. Just as you yourself get one line of growth for your life, so humanity as one race get one line of growth. Dis one dey show for human society, for human culture, for human ideas and for human education.

Dis one dey happen everywhere for di universe. By im own nature, intelligent life must grow and must spread. Na dis one dey make am different from oda forms of life, wey dey play anoda kind role inside di great cloth of di universe.

Inside you and inside di world, great forces dey wey dey push dis growth forward. To keep up wit am, you must fit go pass di education wey you don get before and drop some ideas, even if dem don serve you reach here. Becos wetin be education, if no be to learn sometin new, to go pass wetin you sabi before, to experience new revelations and so on?

So den, as We dey present di Greater Community reality to you and how important e be to you and to humanity too, We dey also present one greater chance to learn, di most important chance to learn wey you fit get for dis time.

Before you fit start dis process of education, before you fit start di process of getting one better place to stand for life, where you fit see wetin you no fit see before and sabi wetin you no fit sabi before, We must present some truths wey you must sabi about di Greater Community, about your world and about wetin your spiritual nature really be, becos all of dem join together directly. Wetin We dey about to present fit look hard to understand at first. Even if you think say you fit understand am one time, you still never get di place to stand where you fit see am and sabi am finish.

Before dem fit prepare you for di Greater Community, some tins dey wey you must understand. If pipo no recognise dis tins and no understand dem, if dem no consider dem seriously, den you no go fit understand di Greater Community, and you no go fit prepare for am.

First of all, di Greater Community wey We dey tok about na mainly life inside di physical universe, even though e include di greater spiritual picture wey We go tok about later. For dis point, wetin dey worry Us mainly na physical reality.

So wen We tok about life inside di Greater Community, na physical life and physical existence We dey tok about. We dey tok about intelligent life inside di physical universe. You must understand say Greater Community cover intelligent life for every stage of evolution—cultures wey just dey come out, cultures wey dey early development, cultures wey don mature and cultures wey dey rotten.

We no dey tok about beings wey don reach enlightenment. We no dey tok about angelic forces. We dey tok about real physical beings like you yourself, wey grow up and come out inside places wey far different from your own, and wey don face di same hard tins for life: di hard tin of survival, of competition and of relationship.

Di very fact say dem handle dis one for very different ways na wetin dey explain di different results wey dem dey get. But e important make you sabi say some tins dey wey you share wit dem and wit all intelligent life inside di physical universe.

E important well well make you no confuse di physical reality wit di spiritual reality. Pipo dey do dis one plenty times, and di result be say your ability to see clear wetin you dey deal wit dey block well well. Di physical reality different well well from di spiritual reality. E dey work according to different laws. E get different ways of showing imself and e get different purpose.

One dey pass. Di oda one dey last forever. One dey face education and service mainly. Di oda one dey face contribution mainly. One na di place of doing. Di oda one na di place of being. One need plenty force of fight and competition, and for di oda one dis tins no dey.

Dis matter dey confuse pipo sotay We must emphasise am again and again: na physical forces and physical beings you dey deal wit. Di fact say you go need call greater spiritual forces make dem help you dey important, but no confuse dem wit di forces from di Greater Community wey you must learn to face.

Next, e important make you understand say wen We use di [term] Greater Community, We no dey tok about one community wey join as one, one great brotherhood out there for di universe. We dey tok about plenty separate cultures and separate worlds wey don develop and wey, to some level, don get to deal wit each oda. Some of dis dealing dey peaceful and dey smooth. Some of am dey full of quarrel and full of trouble.

Dis one important well well, becos for hundreds of years pipo don dey look di sky for salvation, dey think say out there one better life must dey, one answer to all dem problems must dey, one way of living must dey where di problems of greed, of violence and of hatred just no dey. But na only for your Ancient Home dis one dey, di place wey you come from and di place wey you go return to. And na only inside very small and separated communities of Knowledge e dey exist inside di Greater Community.

Great technological societies rarely get real spiritual Knowledge and rarely show am or advance inside am. Wetin dem dey face na control and sameness. Freedom for one person rarely get value inside dat kind society. Instead, dem dey try create one flat kind of dealing, wey dem dey control and regulate well well.

For plenty pipo wey go read dis book, dis one go disappoint dem deep well, becos dem don dey think: “Perfect worlds must dey out there somewhere, and di ones from di perfect worlds go come teach us how to be perfect ourself.”

Dis hope and dis expectation dey deep well well, but dem must correct am from di start, or you go blind to wetin dey happen for di world, and you go read your own experience and di experience of oda pipo wrong.

Societies dey wey don reach high level of spiritual awareness and of intellectual ability, but dem rare. Na exception dem be. No confuse dis one wit technological advancement.

Technological advancement and spiritual advancement and achievement no be di same tin at all. E easy well well to confuse dis two, becos if person get technological ability wey look like magic to you, you go tend to think say dem be magic beings, or say dem don evolve well well, or say dem no dey selfish at all, or say dem get plenty mercy and love. But na so e no be.

After all, human beings today get great technological advantage wey nobody fit even imagine only two hundred years ago, and still, humanity don evolve well for spiritual way? Dem don wipe violence comot from human experience? Dem don correct greed? Cooperation and mercy don show demselves through human societies? Di answer to dis ones clear. And still, for technology, humanity don pass even wetin e expect from imself.

So den, great technological societies dey inside di Greater Community, and dem plenty, becos person fit learn technology and trade am and exchange am and carry am enter commerce.

But development inside Di Way of Knowledge, wey inside di Greater Community mean spiritual development, rare, di same way e rare inside your own world. For example, maybe every person fit get computer, but how many pipo understand how di human spirit dey work inside, or get di reach to sabi di great forces wey dey work inside human relationship, or di mental environment wey dey touch dem thinking? So den, one truth wey you must sabi na to understand say technological advancement and technological ability no be di same tin as spiritual advancement and spiritual ability.

Understand too say na real, physical, dying beings you dey deal wit. Dem never conquer death. And becos limit dey for wetin technology fit do inside di physical universe, dem no fit do everytin. Dem fit look like gods to you for some ways becos of wetin dem fit achieve, but dem no be god pass you, and true true, di same kind mental and cultural conditions wey dey limit and hold your own ability back dey hold dem too.

Next, e important well well make you realise say di presence of di Greater Community inside di world, and how dem take arrive for dis time, and dem work and dem activity inside di world, no get anytin to do wit human spiritual evolution. For oda words, dem no dey here to carry out human mandate or human destiny directly. Di fact say human destiny say humanity must come out into di Greater Community for di end no mean say di Greater Community forces wey dey here support dat one.

As We don talk, dem dey here for dem own purposes. Dis one too dey hard well well for pipo to understand, becos dem dey think say anytin wey come from di sky must be angel or must be demon, and must get sometin to do wit fulfilling ancient human prophecy, and must be about humanity, becos from one purely human view, humanity na di centre of di universe and everytin dey turn around am. And if Greater Community dey here, e must be about humanity; e must don come to support humanity or to do sometin for humanity.

Dis na fatal error. No make dis mistake. Di presence of di Greater Community inside di world today na di result of dem own activities, dem own motives and dem own projects, and di result of how humanity don come out as one technological society wey get ability to go pass im own border.

Di attempt wey dem dey make now to control human destiny from outside get sometin to do wit dis stage of evolution, but e no be about human spiritual advancement itself. Human spiritual advancement go be di result of preparing for di Greater Community. And e go be di result of becoming one human society wey greater and wey get more mercy and wey dey work better.

Your visitors no go give you dis one. True true, most of your visitors no even reach where you reach for spiritual matter. Dem get better technology and dem hold together better as society, but dem no get di rich spiritual traditions wey humanity get here for Earth, for di most part. Dem dey here for reasons wey ordinary pass.

Plenty times pipo dey try take di small awareness wey dem get of di Greater Community, however small e be, and put am inside dem view of di world or inside dem spiritual understanding of life. Here plenty confusion dey between di levels, plenty confusion between di spiritual and di physical. Pipo dey try make everytin be one and di same. Life na one, but e dey work different for different levels of existence, and you no fit confuse di levels if you get any hope of understanding wetin dey inside dem.

Next, you no go fit understand Greater Community intelligence, Greater Community motives, or di Greater Community reality from one purely human view. You must get one better place to stand where you fit see.

Dis one possible becos of wetin di Creator don give you. If you look dis matter purely from your own human ideas, you no go understand. Na why preparation necessary—one stairway to carry you go one higher plane, to one higher place to stand for di mountain of life, so dat you fit see how di land lie, so dat you fit see pass di top of di trees, so dat you fit see where you really stand and wetin dey really happen.

I no fit expect say you go just understand everytin wey We dey present here inside dis book, but you must get some understanding to begin—to begin dat journey, to find dat higher place to stand.

For di same way, you no fit turn to human religion to give di answers for dis one, becos na religions wey dem establish inside one state of isolation, and dem no fit explain one Greater Community of life.

Di great spiritual teachers of human history, even though dem tall pass everybody inside di world, even though dem stand out for wetin dem do and for wetin dem show, na very small figures inside one Greater Community context. Becos di Greater Community also carry one greater spiritual reality. And your whole idea of who Di Divine be and how Di Divine dey work inside di life wey we fit see go change deep well well as you dey get one Greater Community view and understanding.

So den, no turn to di ancient texts to try understand di meaning of di Greater Community or why e dey here, becos dem no fit tell you. Dat one no be di lesson for dat time. Dat one no be di message wey dem need for dat time.

Di ancient traditions, even though dem rich wit virtue, dem face mainly di work of putting mercy and cooperation as di foundation of civilisation. Dem no face di work of preparing humanity for how e go come out into di Greater Community. Instead, dem face di work of putting humanity for position where e fit even begin to prepare for di Greater Community. For oda words, dem lay di foundation for where you dey now. But dis one na new beginning. Dis one na new threshold.

Next, understand say inside di Greater Community, every race dey deal wit matter of survival, di same way humanity dey. Highly technological societies inside di universe plenty times dey destroy dem own natural environment, di same way humanity dey do now. Dis one dey force dem to travel go oda worlds to get resources and to start entering some arrangements for trade and commerce. Dis one dey touch dem cultures deep well well. Plenty times, races wey strong pass dey overpower dem. For oda cases, dem fit survive and hold dem own identity. Dem never conquer di physical needs of life, di way pipo here for di world dey hope for am. Dem must deal wit dem own physical needs. Dem must deal wit security matter about oda races. And dem must become able to work inside di mental environment, wey be sometin wey We go tok about later.

True true, di physical needs don grow big pass, becos dem need more resources. Dem need more protection inside di Greater Community. Plenty times dem get to depend on oda races to give dem raw materials. Na existence wey hard pass and wey get plenty challenge for plenty ways.

Even though technology fit solve plenty small problems, e dey create plenty big ones. Na why, inside di Greater Community, Di Wise dey hide for di most part and dem no dey travel and trade plenty. Some very basic reasons dey for dis one, wey We go tok about later.

But for now, e important make you understand say di races wey you go meet, true true most of di races inside di Greater Community, no fit fully stand on dem own, and dem get to deal wit heavy problems about how dem dey relate wit oda cultures and about dem own environment.

Dis understanding serious, becos na here you dey begin realise why dem fit dey here inside di world. Dem no dey travel round di universe dey do good works. Dem dey look for tins wey dem need. Dem dey look to spread dem power, dem security, dem resources and so on.

And becos dis world don be one important resource for plenty local cultures [inside di Greater Community] for very long time, e get great attraction and great importance. And becos e dey inside one part of di Greater Community wey get plenty pipo, relatively speaking, e get strategic importance too, wey humanity no sabi at all.

Consider di comparison of di small tribe inside di bush. Dem get any understanding of how important dem location or dem resources fit be to one culture from outside? And still, na dis one don be di reason wey dem take discover dis kind cultures, spoil dem and change dem forever. We get dat kind situation now.

So den, wetin dey move your visitors no be care and concern for human happiness, but di need for resources, di need for security and di need for power. Di only exception na your Allies, wey dey concerned well well about your integrity and about your ability to survive inside one Greater Community context. But dem no be [di forces] wey dey inside di world today, di same way dem no be di majority of di forces inside di Greater Community.

Dis one na important part of your Greater Community education, and e fit hard well well to consider am at first. Becos so much hope and expectation dey, so much belief and fantasy about di reality of oda forms of life and about di benefit wey pipo dey hope say dem go bring to humanity, sotay dis one fit be very hard tin to consider.

But dis one dey bring di need to stand on your own, di need for development, di need for education and di need to become strong and more able, for mind and for body. Na dis one humanity need. And na dis one dem dey require.

Greater spiritual forces dey wey dey here to help humanity prepare, but dem no be your real [physical] visitors from di Greater Community.

Di Greater Community na one wide network of communities—some of dem dey inside commerce and trade and some of dem no dey. Some dey live alone for far parts of di galaxy; odas dey live for areas where plenty pipo dey.

Nobody dey expect say you fit understand how wide dis network be or how e dey work, but e important well well make you understand say some realities dey inside di Greater Community wey go touch di future of humanity directly.

Make We talk am again: wen We present dis ideas, We dey deal wit one set of expectations and beliefs wey no dey inside human culture, and na dat one dey make am hard well well to understand or to see dis tins clear.

Some pipo dey think say terrible forces dey out there, wey like war and wey dey destroy. Odas believe say all of dem na angel brothers wey dey here to carry humanity enter one new dimension. And between dis two far ends, all kind of different interpretation dey.

But you must learn to see clear and to understand clear. E no be [choice] between having one loving view and one fearful one. Again, We dey talk say di matter na whether you fit see or you no fit see.

For every great event of human history wey dem record and wey happen, some pipo fit see wetin dey happen and plenty pipo no fit. Some pipo fit see one great fight as e dey rise; plenty no fit. Some fit see how one great fight go end; plenty no fit. Some fit act di right way and carry responsibility and take one positive role wey dey give sometin; plenty no fit.

Na so e go be now. As di Greater Community reality dey show imself clear inside di world, pipo go divide into camps well well for dem position and for dem attitude. More opposition go dey, more denial, more fantasy, becos plenty pipo no go ready to face dis greater reality. Dem go run go back inside dem old ideas and dem old habits, and some go deny say e dey exist at all. But na so e don always be inside human affairs.

However, e important well well make some number of pipo learn about di Greater Community and learn how to face am wit wisdom and wit sharp eye. Na dat one go make all di difference for how di matter go end.

Di next tin wey you must realise na say humanity as e be today no ready for di Greater Community. E no ready for mind. E no ready for politics. E no ready for im religious traditions, wey inside dis context dey tend to hold pipo back.

Di need for dis preparation big well well and deep well well, and plenty pipo dey feel di need to do sometin to prepare, to take one positive step, to become strong and more able, to become wiser and get sharper eye. But until now, no preparation don dey for di Greater Community.

Becos, as We don talk, you no fit use human religion, you no fit use human psychology to learn about life inside one bigger picture. You need one Teaching wey come from di Greater Community about di Greater Community. You need one Teaching wey im source na di Creator, so dat im purity, im power and how e necessary for life go sure.

Di preparation don dey here now. But di question be, “Pipo go prepare? You go prepare?” Or you go fall away go find place to hide, go live inside one happy place inside di world where everytin look sweet and satisfied, go surround yourself wit fine tins, fine sights and sounds, and think fine thoughts about one world wey dey enter serious trouble?

Even if di Greater Community no dey here, na still so e for be. Becos di world dey fall down, and humanity never carry responsibility for am. But becos di Greater Community dey here, e dey change di whole situation, and e dey give di push wey pipo everywhere go need to rise pass di tins wey dey occupy dem mind, to rise pass di tendency to deny and to fantasise, and to grab one real situation. And becos di preparation don dey here for di form of Di Greater Community Way of Knowledge, pipo finally get di means to prepare, and to prepare directly.

Humanity no ready. If you think about dis one, if you look around and see where pipo dey put demselves; wetin dey occupy pipo everywhere; where dem dey spend dem time, dem energy and dem resources; wetin dem think say important and wetin dey take dem attention pass, you go see say very few pipo fit yet bear witness to di great tins wey dey happen now and wey go still come.

Anoda truth wey you must sabi be say di Greater Community no go give humanity technology unless e want make humanity depend on am. Dis one na idea wey you must sabi. Again, plenty pipo wey don think about dis matter dey think say di visitors go bring technology wey go save life to humanity, wey go solve plenty of humanity problems, becos pipo dey see technology now as di grace wey dey save. For earlier times, pipo see providence as di grace wey dey save. Now na technology.

But technology dey tend to create more problems pass wetin e dey solve. And e important make you understand from di start say if dem give any technology to human governments, for example, e no go be for di benefit of humanity as much as e go be one tool or one road to gain control over human affairs. After all, if dem give humanity one great piece of technology and humanity need am and come depend on am, but di source of am dey outside di world, den you see say you don give away plenty for very little.

Di real gift wey di Greater Community get to give pipo na di reality of im presence and di reality of im intention. Dis na one call to wake up and to prepare. E no be sign say dem go give humanity more free tins. Humanity must wake from im sleep and become mature, become adult inside one Greater Community of life.

Greater Community forces no go come solve di world problems, at least not for humanity. Dem go emphasise say make pipo preserve di physical environment, but na for dem own use, no be for your own mainly. Dem dey try now, and dem don dey try for decades, to copy human, plant and animal forms, to keep dem for future use.

So den, no go meet di Greater Community forces wit open hand, dey beg and dey plead, greedy for dem power, greedy for dem technology, becos dis one go trap you and dis one go blind you. Na here you go lose your free will.

Next, e important make you understand say Greater Community influence go face di governments of di world mainly. We go tok deep about dis one wen We give Our discourse on di mental environment. But e important make you sabi say dem no likely go point di influence at you as one person, becos you no get dat much influence inside di world as a whole, but [dem go point am] at world leaders, at pipo wey get influence, at di ones wey hold real forms of power. Na dem go be di target of di influence. Dis no mean say all authorities, all governments, dey under di influence directly, but na dis be di target. Na here dem go point di influence, and na here dem dey point am now.

Now oda ways dey wey dis one dey show imself, wey We go describe later, but e important make you understand dis one. If you fit realise say na dem own needs dey drive di Greater Community forces wey dey inside di world today, needs wey you yourself fit relate wit and understand, dis one go give you one much clearer understanding of why dem dey here. Den you no go just see dem as good or bad; you go fit understand wetin dey drive dem and wetin dey worry dem. Na here we dey comot from one romantic view of di universe and dey enter one real relationship.

Next, e important make you understand say all intelligent life get spiritual nature, but dis spiritual nature fit dey sleep and fit no develop inside dem, di same way e fit be inside human beings. Inside plenty highly technological societies, wey plenty times na di societies wey dey inside travel and trade, dis spiritual reality fit dey very quiet and dey under heavy control.

After all, one highly technological society wey must coordinate im activities over wide [distances] no fit run wit beings wey each dey do dem own tin and wey get dem own personal motives to guide dem. How dis one dey show imself dey vary well well through di Greater Community.

Here again e important well well make you realise say di ones wey don travel come visit you physically no be spiritual beings wey don evolve well well—intelligent, able, technological, powerful inside di mental environment, able to persuade for di mind, yes. But advanced for spirit, no.

Here you fit begin get one understanding say di Greater Community be like di world, except say e wide pass well well and e get plenty of di same problems. Instead of being one reality wey dey save, wey go just give you everytin you want and solve all di problems of di world, e dey create one whole new set of problems and one whole new set of chances. Na im chances be di tin wey dey save. Na dat one be im saving grace. But na only if you prepare di right way you fit use dem.

Next, e important well well make you understand say wetin Greater Community activity dey face inside di world today na two main areas. We don already talk say dem go face world governments. Di second one na world religions.

Na inside di area of religion pipo weak pass, dem no dey see straight pass, and dem easy to persuade pass. Na here pipo dey act against dem own good for reasons wey person no fit explain. No think say pipo no fit read dis reasons and dis motives, and use dem.

Forces dey inside di world today from di Greater Community wey fit create di image of Jesus dey appear for di foot of your bed. How you go take sabi whether e real or e no real? Dem fit produce di mental image and throw am enter your mind. How you go take sabi whether e real or e no real? Plenty pipo go just follow, go yield, go fall down for dem knee, go give in, go dedicate demselves to whatever di image tell dem to do.

Who get di sharp eye? Who get di ability to tell reality apart from simple projection like dis? Who get di ability to sabi wetin real and to separate am from wetin no real? Every person for di world get dis potential. You get dis potential. But e don develop enough? You go become person wey nobody fit fool at all, no matter how sweet di presentation be?

Human religion na di well where greater virtue and greater promise dey come from, for humanity. But e be di arena of greater superstition, greater mistrust and greater misunderstanding too.

Di same way governments dey use religions for dem own purpose, di Greater Community fit use religions for dem own purpose. Dis one go face di very large denominations of religion wey get heavy influence over plenty plenty pipo. Here, na few pipo you need influence before you influence di many. No think say e hard to do dis one. From one Greater Community standpoint, e no hard.

Na why, inside di Greater Community itself, di cultures and nations wey don fit preserve or grow any spiritual tradition at all get to guard am carefully against di intrusion of odas. Dis na reality inside di Greater Community. Na reality wey you must come understand.

Everytin wey We dey present inside dis discourse na to give you one foundation, to give you one foundation for truth and for understanding. E no be to put fear for you. Na to give you one solid foundation, wey true true hard to get inside di world.

Plenty pipo no fit tell reality apart from fantasy. Dem no fit read di nature of dem own thoughts. And dem no sabi wetin dey influence dem inside di mental environment.

So den, We understand say dis one dey challenge person, but dem must give am simple and clear, exactly as e be, or you go fall for persuasions wey you no fit understand at all, and you no go fit tell wetin dey happen inside you, inside your thoughts and your feelings, and wetin dey happen inside di world wey surround you.

You must think for one very big way wit very clear eye. You must hear clear, without painting di information to make am sweet pass or please you pass. E clear say dis one necessary, but e hard well well for plenty pipo. And everybody get small difficulty wit am.

Di world dey come out into one very real situation. Wetin don dey happen inside di Greater Community don dey happen since before humanity as one race even exist inside dis world.

And di spiritual work wey di Creator don dey do through di Greater Community don dey happen since before, long before, human religious traditions ever start.

Becos di Greater Community carry one set of conditions wey serious well well, di Creator don set one serious set of powers and abilities for motion, and don raise one great network of service, inside di physical reality wey we fit see and outside am too.

If you fit come deal wit dis Greater Community realities, wit dis truths wey you must sabi, den you dey put yourself for position where you fit begin learn about di nature of di Creator Work inside di world and about why you be di way you be.
