Wisdom from the Greater Community

"It is time now to learn Wisdom from the Greater Community. Here the application of Knowledge, the meaning of your existence, the development of discernment and discretion, the cultivation of forbearance, compassion, insight and a greater generosity are born of the overflowing nature of your Spirit and the expression of your true spirituality."

WISDOM FROM THE GREATER COMMUNITY SPIRITUALITY, Volume 1
is a wise and compassionate guide for discovering the New Message teaching on the power of relationship and inner certainty in everyday life. Wisdom I speaks to that persistent feeling that there is something important to do in life. It provides a Greater Community perspective on topics ranging from “Marriage” and “Achieving Peace” to “Provoking Change” and “World Evolution”. Wisdom I cuts through the uncertainty and confusion of our time to enable you to find and to follow what you have always known.

WISDOM FROM THE GREATER COMMUNITY SPIRITUALITY, Volume 2 concentrates on the needs of a world in transition as the greater context for finding your contribution and resolving personal dilemmas. It introduces the larger arena of intelligent life called the Greater Community and provides the insights and perspective necessary to prepare for a future that will be unlike anything that we have ever known. In the New Message teaching on topics ranging from “Discernment” and “Greater Community Realities” to “Courage” and “Religion as Mystery,” Wisdom II opens the way to living a greater life in a greater universe. Both Volumes of Wisdom from the Greater Community are a powerful compliment to the journey in Steps to Knowledge.
