World Change
Learn how to navigate the converging forces of social, political and planetary change reshaping our world.
What you need to know
We are living through a period of unprecedented global change, marked by environmental degradation, resource depletion, economic instability, and other emerging crises. These “Great Waves of Change” are profoundly affecting societal stability and threatening the future survival of humanity.
Simultaneously, intelligent life from beyond Earth is making contact with human civilization, an interaction ongoing for over 80 years. This signifies the end of our isolation in the universe and presents a major evolutionary challenge for humanity.
These are the two biggest events in human history. They have the potential to reshape our world, either undermining our global civilization or fostering unprecedented unity and cooperation among peoples and nations. What else could unite our fractured world but these profound challenges?
These two events will create a new world reality which we will need to learn to navigate. The public revelation of Contact with alien life and the destruction of our world’s environment could lead to growing conflict and also to a profound disturbance of our human “mental environment,” which will take an increasing toll on the health and well-being of individuals and society as a whole.
In this new reality, our traditional approaches to solving problems—including technological innovation and economic growth—will not be sufficient to address the scale and complexity of the challenges we will face. However, we do have the potential to go beyond our longstanding political, cultural, and religious conflicts to establish a stable and sustainable life in the world and a greater participation with the universe around us. In fact, this is the promise of the human race: to emerge from isolation, to resolve our petty differences and step into the universe as a single, united human family.
To do this, we need to cultivate our greater human intelligence. This greater intelligence—what the New Message calls “Knowledge”—can bring stability to our personal and collective mental environments and support our health and relationships as we go through difficult events. With access to this greater intelligence, it is possible for each person to find their contribution to the world utilizing their unique nature and design.
The problems of our world cannot be solved at the level of thinking that created them, and this is why our innate human intelligence is so important now. We each possess higher capabilities of human intelligence that can perceive the root cause of our human dilemmas and enable us to address them through original insight and personal revelation from a higher source. It is only through contact with this higher aspect of our intelligence that we can address the most fundamental root of these problems and be guided in how to support their resolution in the most direct and powerful way.
The potential exists for each person to become a contributor in the world. This desire to serve and contribute is intrinsic to our deeper nature and reflects the clarity of vision and true will we had before coming into the world. Without more contributors guided by their human spiritual intelligence, the many solutions needed in our world will not arise and contact with intelligent life will not be perceived correctly and responded to in the best interests of the human species. Without greater individual contribution, our human civilization will begin to buckle under the weight of too many converging crises.
Without the individual, without Knowledge and without the inner preparation to bring forward our greater contribution, hope for humanity fades, and the world will continue in its relentless course toward a highly destructive future, despite even our best political and technological efforts to improve life on Earth.
If we can bring this greater intelligence to the fore—cultivate it within ourselves and take the steps to integrate it into our daily lives—we each can be part of a greater force for good in the world. The inspired actions and decisions of every person, both now and in the years ahead, can combine to create such a positive force in the world, and it is to empower and ensure this outcome that the New Message and the Steps to Knowledge are being made available.
