The signs in the world are speaking to you—telling you that great change is coming,! Are you Prepared?
For one who has perception,
a mere sign is enough.
For one who does not heed,
a thousand explanations
are not enough.

Chapter 1
Great change is coming to the world, change unlike
anything that humanity as a whole has ever seen before—Great
Waves of change all converging at this time. For humanity has
impacted the world in so many ways, and the results of that
impact are now gathering—gathering strength, gathering force,
converging at a time when humanity is largely unaware and
unprepared.
These Great Waves are not one event. They are not one
simple thing that happens at one time only, for humanity has
set in motion forces of change now that it must contend with
on an ongoing basis. For you are now living in a world of
declining resources, a world whose climate has been seriously
affected, a world whose ecological condition is deteriorating, a
world where humanity will have to face the prospects of great
shortages of food and water and the risks of disease and illness
on a very large scale, even affecting the wealthy nations of the
world. The balance has now been tipped and changed, and the
human family as a whole must unite and gather together to
deal with these great challenges.
In a world of ever-growing population and declining
resources, humanity will face a great decision, a fundamental
choice in which direction to go. Do nations compete and
challenge each other for the remaining resources? Do they
fight and struggle over who will control these resources and
The Great Waves of Change
Who will have access to these resources? For indeed, all the
great wars of humanity’s turbulent past have been a struggle,
fundamentally, over gaining access to and control over
resources.
Will the wealthy nations of the world insist that their
lifestyle must be preserved and therefore enter into competition
and conflict with one another, further degrading the rest of
the world, robbing the poorer people of the world of their own
ability to sustain themselves so that some grand or indulgent
lifestyle can be maintained in the wealthy nations?
If humanity chooses this path, it will enter a period
of prolonged conflict and permanent decline. Instead of
preserving and distributing the remaining resources and
generating the ability to adapt to a new world condition,
humanity will destroy what is left, leaving itself poor and
bereft, with immense loss of human life and with very grim
and grave prospects for the future.
Yet if humanity chooses a different path, recognizing
the inherent dangers involved in facing these Great Waves of
change, recognizing the seriousness of their reality and the
great consequences that they can have for the well-being and
for the future of humanity, then wise individuals and leaders
of nations and religious institutions can recognize that divided,
humanity will fail in the face of the Great Waves of change.
But united, humanity can chart a new course, prepare for the
impacts of the Great Waves of change and set in course the
beginnings of a greater cooperation and a greater unity than
humanity as a whole has ever experienced before. This will be
generated now not by religious principles or by high ethics, but
by sheer necessity itself.
For what can one nation hope to achieve if the world
plunges into conflict and deprivation? Nations of the world
are far too interdependent now to choose the path of war and
conflict without bringing ruin and deprivation to everyone.
United, you have a great chance. Divided, you will fail.
And your failure will be longstanding, and it will be extremely
costly—greater than any war that has ever occurred in this
world will it be, more devastating than any human conflict that
humanity has ever known.
The choices are few, but they are fundamental. And those
choices must not be made simply by the leaders of nations and
religious institutions, but by each
citizen. Each person must choose
whether they will fight and compete,
whether they will resist the Great
Waves of change, whether they will
struggle with themselves and with
others to maintain whatever lifestyle
they are holding onto. Or will they
recognize the great danger, and will they unite to begin to
prepare for its impact and to build a new and different kind of
future for humanity?
For you cannot maintain the way you live now. Those rich
nations, those wealthy people, those people who have become
accustomed to affluence, feeling it is not only a right but an
entitlement from God and from life—they must be prepared
to change the way they live, to live far more simply, to live far
more equitably, for the sharing of the remaining resources will
require this.
The rich will have to take care of the poor, and the poor
will have to take care of one another, or failure faces everyone,
rich and poor. There will be no winners if human civilization
should fail. There will be no supreme nations. There will be no
supreme tribe or group or religious body if civilization fails.
And the Great Waves of change have the power to lead human
civilization to failure. That is how great they are. That is how
long reaching their impact will be.
Therefore, the first great challenge facing you is to face the
great challenge—without insisting upon solutions, without
fighting against the truth of what you know and what you
The first great challenge facing you is to face the
great challenge.see, without blaming other people or expecting someone
else to take care of the problem for you. Everyone must take
responsibility in how they live, in how they think, in what they
do, in the decisions before them today,
and in the decisions that they will
have to face in the future. Everyone,
particularly those of the wealthy
nations, will have to reconsider where
they live, how they live, what kind of
employment they have, how they make a living, how they use
the resources of the world, how they use energy—all of these
things.
It is certainly not a time to be ambivalent or complacent.
It is certainly not a time to just think that government leaders
should take care of the problem for you, for you must now look
to your life and to your circumstances.
It is as if the bill has come due. Humanity has been
spending and borrowing its natural inheritance for so long,
postponing the payment of the consequences of this for so
long, and now the bill has come due. Now the consequences
are emerging powerfully, and there are many of them.
Now you must reckon what you have created. You must
reckon your condition. You must reckon your circumstances.
You must reckon the world that you are creating for yourself.
For humanity has squandered its natural inheritance. This
abundant, magnifi cent world that the Creator of all life
has given to humanity as its own world has been plundered
and squandered and wasted—through greed, through
corruption, through war and confl ict, through irresponsible
behavior, through unawareness and ignorance—and now the
consequences are beginning to emerge. They are not simply a
distant possibility or a problem for some future generation.
This is the world that you have come to serve. This is the
world you have created. These are the circumstances facing you
now. You must face them. You must take responsibility that
Humanity has squandered its natural inheritance.
The Great Waves of Change , you have played a small part in creating them.
You must accept this resp,onsibility without shame, but the responsibility is there
nonetheless. For in the face of the Great Waves of change, there
is nowhere to run and hide. You cannot simply pack your bags
and move to the country or go find someplace to hide while the
storm passes over, for this storm will last a long time, and there
is nowhere to hide.
Only Knowledge within you, the deeper intelligence that
God has placed within you, will know how to deal with these
circumstances and with the immense change that is coming for
humanity.
Only this deeper Knowledge, this sacred Knowledge,
will know how to navigate the difficult times ahead, will know
how to sail the troubled waters, for troubled waters there will be.
Perhaps you are accustomed to being untroubled by the
greater problems of the world. Perhaps you have insulated
yourself sufficiently where they seem to be distant, where they
do not seem to be a problem for you. They seem to be someone
else’s problem, a problem in another country, a problem that
other people have to face and deal with. But such insulation
now is over. It is not possible that you will not be greatly
impacted by the Great Waves of change. It is not possible
that they will not change your circumstances, perhaps even
dramatically.
In essence, you cannot change what
is coming now, but you can prepare for
it. You can adapt to it. You can use it to
contribute to the well-being of people,
for this indeed is why you have come
to the world. At a greater level, beyond
your thoughts and beliefs, is the truth
that you have come into the world
for a mission, that you are here for a purpose and that God
has sent you into the world to serve the world, under the very
circumstances that are approaching you now.
Therefore, while in your mind you may respond with great
In the face of the Great Waves of change, there
is nowhere to run and hide. fear or trepidation, with anger and indignation—you may
be immensely confused and perplexed; you may feel helpless
and impotent in the face of such great challenges—but deeper
within you, at the level of Knowledge, this indeed is your time.
This is the time when the great calling will sound for you. This
is the time when your greater gifts will come forward, for you
yourself cannot bring them forward. They must be called out
of you. And the calling must come from the world, for you
cannot call yourself if the calling is to be genuine. You cannot
initiate yourself into a greater life. For the calling must come
from beyond you—calling your gifts out of you, calling you
into a greater state of mind and awareness and into a greater
position of responsibility.
Without this calling, you will simply either go into denial
and try to forget and remain ignorant and foolish, or you will
fight and struggle to preserve whatever entitlements you feel
you have or that are still due to you. You will act out of fear
and anger. You will lash out at others. You will be immensely
afraid and incredibly confused. You will believe that something
will save you, that there is a solution
on the horizon that will make all
these problems go away. You will not
see and you will not know and you
will not prepare. And when the Great
Waves come, you will be unprepared,
and you will be vulnerable.
Surely, you have seen that nature
is unmerciful to the unprepared.
Nature shows no mercy to those who
are not prepared for eventualities.
God wishes to save you failure, conflict and discord.
That is why Knowledge has been placed within you.
God knows what is coming for humanity. But
people remain blind and foolish and self-indulgent. God
knows that if you do not prepare, if you do not become strong.
This is the time when the great
calling will sound for you. This is the time when
your greater gifts will come forward.
The Great Waves of Change with Knowledge, if you do not allow your gifts to be called
out of you, if you cling to an old life, an old set of ideas and
assumptions, then you will fail. And your failure will be terrible.
Yet Knowledge within you is ready to respond. It is not
afraid of the Great Waves. In fact, it has been prepared for
them all along, for this is your destiny. You did not come into
the world simply to be a consumer, simply to occupy space,
simply to further degrade the world and to use up its resources.
That is not what has brought you here, and in your heart
you know this to be true. But what you know to be true and
what you think are not yet the same. And you must then align
yourself with Knowledge and learn The Way of Knowledge and
take the steps to Knowledge so that it becomes your guide and
counsel.
You will need this inner certainty, for around you there
will be confusion, anger and conflict as people are deprived,
as people feel threatened, as the security of people everywhere
becomes challenged. You will see individuals and groups
reacting with rage and indignation. You will see nations
threatening one another, and this is already happening. And
the great conflicts that will emerge and the great danger of war
will all be masked by politics and religion, when in fact the
conflict is over resources. Who will have these resources? Who
will control these resources?
Such conflicts have already begun and are well under way.
And the prospect for greater conflicts, for greater wars, is
growing with each passing day. There is already fire burning in
the world, and the embers for greater fires of conflict are being
stoked, and the conditions are ripe for their emergence.
Surely, if you want to be protected and to benefit from
the great change that is coming, you cannot remain in your
current position, your current way of thinking, your current
assumptions. There must be a profound shift within you,
and this shift will be brought about both by the conditions
of the world and by the emergence of Knowledge within you.
You cannot stay where you are mentally, psychologically and
emotionally and have any real hope of surviving and benefiting
from the great change that is coming.
This is the great warning that the New Message* is
presenting. The Great Waves of change are coming to the
world, and humanity is now facing
competition from beyond the world—
intervention from races beyond the
world who seek to take advantage of
a weak and divided humanity, who
seek to benefit from the decline of
human civilization.The New Message
Teaching presents this reality very
clearly. And it is not difficult to
understand once you let down your
defenses, once you set aside your
preferences, once you look with clear eyes and listen to the
world to see and to know.
Yet, remarkably, such common sense is not common.
People are lost in what they want or in what they are afraid
to lose. They are lost in their conflicts, in their grievances, in
their struggles with themselves and each other. So what is clear
and natural to see, to hear, to know and to do becomes lost—
overlaid by human preoccupation, human desire and human
conflict.
Surely, humanity is reaching a great threshold now that
will determine its fate and its future. The evidence of this is all
around you, and you can feel it within yourself—the sense of
anxiety, the sense of uncertainty, the confusion, the apprehension.
The signs in the world are speaking to you—telling you
that great change is coming, that it is at your doorstep.
You can feel these things if you allow yourself to feel
The signs in the world are speaking
to you—telling you that great change is
coming, that it is at your doorstep.
The Great Waves of Change |
these things—without trying to hide or run away from them,
or without insisting that you be happy and carefree, without
foolish pursuits to keep your mind preoccupied and distracted
so that you do not hear the signs of the world, the calling of
the world and the stirring of Knowledge within yourself.
This is your time. This is why you have come. These are
the great events of your time. This is the great threshold that
humanity is facing, for you must now prepare for a future that
will be unlike the past. Life will not go on as you have known
it, uninterrupted. Humanity will not simply find other sources
of energy or some magic solution to maintain the privileges of
the few.
For you are living in a world in decline. The very resources
that give your nations wealth, security and stability are now
diminishing. The environment in which you live will come
under increasing duress through environmental degradation,
through change in climate and through so many impacts that
humanity has had for so long upon the world itself.
Therefore, you stand at the precipice. Will you choose to
remain ignorant and will you fight and struggle when your
ignorance and your denial fail you finally? Or will you choose
the path of courage and wisdom to prepare and to allow God’s
great gift of Knowledge to guide you and to direct you?
To know the meaning of God’s great gift, you must see
the gravity and the depth of the challenge facing humanity.
You must feel the need within yourself, recognizing that you
yourself do not have an answer and that even your nations and
your experts and your scientists do not really have an answer.
They have solutions for parts of the problem. They are working
towards alerting and preparing humanity, but humanity is way
behind now in preparing for the Great Waves of change. The
hour is late, and you are unprepared.
You therefore must feel the real need within yourself to
respond to the great gift that God is giving now—a gift unlike
anything humanity has ever received before—for humanity is
now facing a challenge and a crisis unlike anything it has ever
faced before.
To see the solution, you must feel the need. You must
recognize the need. You must face the Great Waves of change.
You must begin to piece together the pieces and the signs to
see the picture that it is showing you. This picture is clear
and obvious, but it is not obvious to
those who are not looking, who are
not thinking, who are not making the
fundamental associations that must
be made if you are to see the picture
clearly.
Any courageous course of action
to redirect your focus and your energy
always must be based upon an inner
and pressing need. Under quiescent
circumstances, people rarely make any progress at all in any
field of endeavor. The real progress must be driven by a deep
and pressing need—the pressure both from your circumstances
and from the needs of the world and also from Knowledge
within you. Knowledge is urging you to become aware. It is
urging you to prepare yourself psychologically,
emotionally and practically for the great challenges that are coming now, for
the great events of your life and for the great relationships that
you are meant to have. Yet these relationships will only arise in
meeting a greater challenge in life.
Do not worry that others are not responding. Do not
concern yourself that humanity remains ignorant and indulgent
and foolish in its conquests and its conflicts. For the calling is
for you. You have to take responsibility for your life and for
your reasons for being here. The calling is for you. You do not
need a consensus with others to respond. In fact, you will not
have such a consensus. You may be the only person you know
who is responding. Even if this is the case, you must respond.
You cannot wait for others to give you the reassurance that
You may be the only person you know who is responding. Even
if this is the case, you must respond.You should respond, for when everyone responds,
there will be panic and discord. There will be tribulation and conflict. You
do not want to wait until the moment when everyone responds,
for that will be chaos.
You must prepare yourself and your life. You must fortify
your relationships. You must educate the people you know
that are close to you—those who can hear and those who can
respond. You must set aside your goals and preferences to
respond to the world. You must reevaluate where you live,
how you live and who you are with in terms of who can travel
with you, who can prepare with you and who cannot. You
must reevaluate your work and its viability for the future. And
you must do this without everyone around you encouraging
you and agreeing with you, for this will be unlikely.
Your mind will not want to face the future. Your mind
will want other things because the mind is weak and fallible.
It is driven by fear and preference. But there is a greater mind
within you, the mind of Knowledge. It is not distracted. It is
not in conflict with itself. It is not subject to seduction by the
world or by any other force, for it only responds to God. It is
the only part of you that is completely pure and reliable, and
it is the only part of you that is wise. It contains your greater
purpose for coming into the world, and it represents your
fundamental relationship with God, which has not been lost in
the Separation.
Despite all the appearances of this world, despite all of
the activities and indulgences and tragedies of this world,
you remain connected to God. And God has sent you into
the world to serve a world in great need. That is why you are
who you are. That is why you have a unique nature. That is
why you have certain strengths that must be used and certain
weaknesses that must be recognized and managed properly.
For you cannot be weak and ambivalent in the face of the
Great Waves of change. They will call out of you your core
strength, and you will need this core strength now. You cannot
be fooling around in the face of such great and immense
difficulties and challenges.
Indeed, the Great Waves are converging on the world.
You cannot escape them. They are profound and will be long
lasting. Do you have the clarity, the sobriety and the honesty
to see them clearly, to brace yourself for them emotionally
and psychologically and begin to build a foundation for yourself—a
foundation created by Knowledge within you, a foundation of
relationships, a foundation of activities and a foundation of
wisdom? You build this foundation not only to be able to
navigate these great challenges, but to be able to assist and to
serve others.
For you must know that the human need will grow far
greater in the future. Everyone will become poorer, and many
will be destitute. You must have the strength here not only
to take care of yourself but to take care of others as well—to
take care of the elderly, to take care of children. Certainly, you
yourself will not take care of everyone, but it will be clear who
amongst your neighbors or your relations are especially weak
and vulnerable. You must be strong enough to take care of
them as well.
Though this seems overwhelming, though this is not what
you prefer, this in fact is what will redeem you, for this will
call you out of your conflicts, your addictions, your low selfesteem,
your regrets, your painful memories. This will force
you to establish a real relationship with yourself, with others
and with the world.
So do not look upon the Great Waves of change only as
a tragedy or as a great danger, but as a calling, as a requirement—
a calling and a requirement that can restore and redeem
Though this seems overwhelming, though this is not
what you prefer, this in fact is what will redeem you.
you, that can call forth Knowledge within you and the great
gifts that you have come to give, gifts that will be determined
by the very circumstances that are emerging now.
The Great Waves of change will bring great clarity to your
life, and they will show you both your weakness and your
strength. They will shake you out of your dreams of fulfillment
and tragedy. They will bring you to your senses, and they
will bring you to Knowledge within you. Therefore, do not
repudiate them. Do not deny them. Do not think that they are
insignificant or that people will have a simple solution to them,
for to do so is to deny yourself the calling and the power of
your time and the redemption that it is meant to bring to you
who were sent into the world for these very circumstances.
This will reunite you with your strength, and it will break
your attachment to your weaknesses, for it is you who must
be called forth now. This is not a problem for others to take
care of, for everyone must take a part. And the more who can
be called into their greater purpose here, the greater will be
the chances for humanity, the greater will be the promise for
humanity and the greater will be the likelihood that humanity
will be able to survive the Great
Waves of change and to set a new
course and a new direction and a
greater unity and cooperation in
the process.
Yet it depends upon you and
the strength that you were born
with, the strength which must now
come to the fore in the Knowledge
that God has placed within you,
which alone knows the way
forward.
For the great times are upon you. This is your time. This
is your calling. This is where your real strength will be found.
Real strength is never found when people are complacent and
The Great Waves of change will bring
great clarity to your life, and they will
show you both your weakness and your strength.
It is only found when people are responding and acting
with true direction and intention.
With the New Message Teaching, humanity now has
great hope. For the first time, spirituality is being presented
at the level of Knowledge. It is a great calling. It is a great
gift. It brings with it wisdom beyond what humanity has ever
established. It calls people out of the shadows—out of conflict,
out of controversy, out of addiction, out of tragedy—to
respond to a world in need.
For the New Message speaks to the great need of the
world—the Great Waves of change and the Greater Darkness
of intervention that is in the world. It speaks to the greater
purpose that has called everyone here. It speaks to the power
of Knowledge and reveals how Knowledge can be discovered
and experienced. It speaks to the level of relationships that
people must reach if they are to find real union and power
with one another. It speaks of humanity’s future in the Greater
Community of intelligent life in the Universe and the great
threshold that humanity must pass through to find its greater
destiny and fulfillment.
You are blessed, then, to receive this Message, to be alerted
to the Great Waves of change and to the Greater Darkness that
is in the world. For you have time to become aware, to brace
yourself and to prepare your life and to receive the guidance
that God is giving you through the Knowledge that you were
born with, which is God’s greatest endowment to you and to
the world.
