The prophetic message you're about to hear is part of a great communication from the Divine
It is a New Message from God for our time
The New Message is contained within a serie of sacred texts
which address nearly every aspects of our lives
Many of these texts can be found at newmessage.org Home of the New Message
There you will also find important messages from Marshall Vian Summers
the individual who is receiving this great gift for humanity
The New Message from God is not part of any existing religious tradition
It comes anew with God's blessing and intention for humanity at this time and for the times to come
The New Message is here to bring confirmation to your soul, resolution to your mind and direction to your life
Yet, be prepared the New Message may challenge many of your beliefs and assumptions
and the beliefs and assumptions of your culture
It is appropriate that a New Message from God would do so.
When you are young, you look at the world with greater expectations
You look for what could be meaningful to you
You look to try to understand your environment
But if you have the freedom to look in this way
and the desire to see what will be true for you
then you will encounter a great many things that will disturb you
You will see a world that is rife with corruption
You will see leadership that is filled with incompetence and deceit
You will see in the older generations perhaps a poor example of relationship
As you look, it will be very discouraging
If you are honest in looking at the world around you
open and objective rather than just simply trying to fulfill your dreams and ambitions
you will see many things that will be important for you
One of the first things that is important to understand here
is that the things that discourage you
the things that you realize you cannot do or would not do
are actually very helpful to you
for they begin to eliminate some of the possibilities
For the greater truth of your life is found more through the elimination of things
than through the outright discovery of things
If there are too many choices and if many of them are appealing
how will you ever know?
If you try to commit yourself to experiencing each one
well, you will use up your youth
and you will find yourself, as many people find themselves today
at thirty or forty years old, with still no idea of what they are about
who they are, what they are here to do
and where their talents can be most fully expressed and contributed
Therefore, allow discouragement to show you what will not work for you
what is not appropriate for you
Rather than being angry and condemning of what you see
allow it to show you what will not work for you
what you will not do and where you will draw the line
It is this elimination of possibilities through careful observation
that will bring you closer to your true goal
For indeed, you were sent into the world for a greater purpose
and this purpose is held within you within a deeper intelligence called Knowledge
It is beyond your intellect
It is beyond your fears and desires
It is waiting there to be discovered
What brings you closer to Knowledge is eliminating other possibilities that are attractive
And you can recognize the truth of these possibilities
through careful and objective observation
You do not in most cases have to go live out the reality of these things
which will take up so much of your time, energy and resources
Really, self-discovery here is a process of refinement
It is not a process of chasing dreams
or immersing yourself in those things that entice you or delight you
For your purpose in life is greater than simple pleasures
It is greater than hobbies
It is greater than simply finding a job that is the easiest job to do
or the job that gives you the most money or social recognition
Your real purpose for coming
the thing that you are really designed to do and to accomplish
is not bound by these things
And who you are is designed for something very special
That is why you are the way you are
Social Social conditioning has changed you to a certain degree
and has certainly thwarted your deeper inclinations
but you are still designed for something special
But how will you find this?
That is the question
Of course, many people in the world are so challenged with meeting even the basic requirements of life
they do not have this freedom to even look and consider
what may be a greater purpose for them in their lives
It is a great tragedy for the human family
that so much of the human family is bound by these pressing conditions
Not only is there immense suffering
but the greater potential in so many people will never be realized
because they are so encumbered with their circumstances
Perhaps you have this greater freedom
to consider who you are in this changing world
what you really have to contribute
what would give you the greatest and deepest satisfaction
and where you could make the greatest contribution to a world in need
For your soul will only be fulfilled by discovering, expressing and fulfilling this greater purpose
No amount of pleasure or comfort or recreation will satisfy the deeper need of the soul
If you are careful then in your observations of others
if you look without condemnation, but only look to see and to learn
you will see people giving themselves to their pleasures and their hobbies
and you will recognize that there is nothing inspiring here about them
They are like little children playing in the playground
except they are not little children anymore
and somehow they are missing great opportunities
using up their time in simple pleasures or even dangerous personal pursuits
all the while sacrificing the greatest opportunity they will have in life
to find their real direction and to chart a course
that will be really meaningful for them
It is this careful observation, this looking without preference
and seeing how you feel deeply when you look at things
that will make a difference here
It is more important that you know your inner experience
than that you just evaluate things on the outside
This is a very valuable practice
because all around you people are committing every possible error
and you can learn from their experience if you observe them carefully
and if you gauge how you really feel on the inside when you are witnessing this
But if you are judging and condemning people
if you are categorizing people
then you really are not in a position to gain this deeper insight
which is so immensely valuable
Here instead of being frustrated, discouraged and infuriated by the world
it is really teaching you something
It is teaching you so many things
ways not to go, things not to do
relationships not to pursue
what will work for you and what will not work for you
Here the world in all of its splendor and tragedy is teaching you things
But you must be a student to learn
and a student is open-minded and is not there to judge and to condemn
but to listen and learn what is true from what is untrue
what is really good from what only looks good
Here you find out the delusions and deceptions that surround beauty, wealth and charm
the three things that young people will be so easily be seduced by
and all of the seeming social recognition that goes along with these things
that in reality are nothing but a trap
If you are beautiful in the eyes of other people
well, that could easily be a curse or a blessing
It is a blessing if it helped you to express something deeper and more profound about your life
But for most people it is a curse
because they identify with their bodies
They seek to gain advantage and recognition by their appearance
But then they find out that other people are simply exploiting them
They are simply being used as a resource
used as a tool of pleasure or used for social advantage
People who give themselves to this never cultivate a deeper awareness about their lives
until much later, perhaps
when already a great deal of damage has already been done
People who give themselves to accumulating wealth
and accumulating possessions find a great emptiness there
as if they were hollow on the inside
Now they become caretakers of their possessions
as if they were museum keepers of all the things they have collected in their lives
but as individuals they are hollow
There is nothing inspiring about them
There is nothing really important that has come out of them
They have not found their greater purpose in the world
And what is charm?
Pleasing or entertaining people?
Seducing people?
What does this bring but shallow recognition?
It never brings admiration or inspiration or a deeper respect
You can be clownish with other people
but they will never respect you for it
You can be suave and entertaining and persuasive
but people will look at you with suspicion and with disregard
The fruits of these pursuits lead to great emptiness and depravation
Look at the people who are forty and fifty-years-old who have given themselves to these things
and ask yourself
"Does this person inspire me?
Would I want to model my life after this person?
Is this person really doing something important in the world?
Or do they just have things that I want to have?"
Children fight over who gets the best toys
Children fight over who gets the best advantage or recognition
But in adulthood this becomes utterly destructive
Here again, people, through their folly and their poor investment in themselves
can give you immense wisdom
if you can observe them all objectively
They are teaching you everything not to do
They are saving you time
If you see their lives clearly
and the results of how they have lived
which you can do through careful observation
it will show you the nature of their pursuits
and its unfortunate rewards
Next, it is very important who you associate with
Everyone with whom you establish a relationship is an influence
Actually, all of your possessions create an influence upon you
but most particularly your relationships with other people
You may be intrigued by another person
It may be pleasant to be with them
You may have great comfort and enjoyment in their company
but ask yourself
"What kind of influence would this person be in my life
if I established a relationship with them?"
Here there are no neutral relationships
People are either helping you or hindering you
They are either encouraging you
to recognize your deeper nature and to respond to a greater purpose in your life
or they are taking you away from this
People encourage you or discourage you
through their recommendations, their admonitions
but also simply by how they live
and what they value and what they emphasize in their lives
For if you are truly to discover a greater purpose and a real direction in your life
you cannot afford to be with people who are not experiencing
and considering these things seriously
They will rob you of time
They will rob you of energy
And whatever enjoyments you may have in the moment will come with a real price
And should you really begin to ask deeper questions about your life
such as, "Who am I here?
What do I really have to offer to the world?
What am I real innate talents?"
you will see other people in how they respond to you
You will see whether they can really support this deeper inquiry in you or not
If they say, "Oh, you are being so serious
Why be so serious? Have fun!"
then you can be sure they do not value who you really are
and they themselves have not begun this deeper inquiry
and so they do not see its central importance to their lives
Here it is better to be alone than to be surrounded by a group of people
who have no idea and no desire to know what is really moving your life
In that situation, you are losing energy all around you
Your time, your focus, your emotions, even your financial resources
are being wasted away with people
who can only take away from you the possibility
of penetrating the surface of your life
and making a deeper connection within yourself
Discernment in relationships is very important
particularly for young people
because it is here that people give their lives way
for pleasure, for charm, for wealth, for advantage
It is here that people commit themselves
to relationships, to circumstances and to careers
that will never hold the possibility of revealing to them
what they are really here to do and what they really can do
It is so easy to give your life away, particularily if you are attractive
That is the danger of being attractive
It makes it so easy to give your life away
Before you know it, you are married with children
and then you are not going anywhere
You have committed yourself
It is like you have stepped on a ship that has set sail on the open ocean
Once you lose sight of the land, well, that is it
You are on that ship for better or worse
and getting off that ship is very difficult
Here it is easier to stay out of relationship than to get out of relationship
Therefore, you must value your time and yourself sufficiently
to be very careful in discerning who you engage with
And the people you do engage with, you should use real discretion
Do not casually tell people everything about yourself
Do not reveal your deeper interests, your deeper concerns right away
Let that come a little later
Be observant and open-minded
Listen for a deeper movement in other people
and learn what they are doing and have done in their lives
because regardless of what people say
it is what they do that matters
It is regardless of people's goals and aspirations
it is what they have achieved already
that will tell you what they are really going to be capable of in the future
If they are underperforming in life
if they are not doing anything real or meaningful
it does not matter how great their goals or how lofty their aspirations
their life is already revealing to you
that they really will not accomplish very much
unless they have some kind of major turning point in their life
which is something that must happen inside of them
Here it is important to realize that you cannot change or improve another person
You cannot take someone who appears charming and talented
but who cannot seem to function very well
and turn them into a functioning person
Young women make this mistake all the time, particularly
thinking they are going to rehabilitate the young man
"Oh, with her guidance, this young man will become productive and responsible and effective"
Do not make this mistake
It is an immense waste of your time
You cannot change or improve another person
That is what they must do for themselves
Basically, regarding relationships, what you see is what you get
How a person is and what they have accomplished thus far
is what you will get in them
Do not then place value on potential
Place value on what is actually there at this moment
If a person is charming and superficial
they will continue to be charming and superficial
until something really happens inside of them.
You cannot make them a more serious or more honest or more inspiring person
You cannot do that
So do not even try
It will be an immense loss of time and energy for you
Also, do not become sexually engaged with someone
until you have learned much more about them
and until the potential for real relationship becomes apparent
For once you become sexually engaged
you are bonded emotionally to a certain degree
and that will change the nature of your relationship immediately
*** union is meaningful between people who can experience real union
It should never be used for recreation
It should never be used to prove one's worth or one's attractiveness
It should never be used to offset loneliness
It is too serious an engagement
for there is no real casual sex
Every *** engagement is a real engagement
At the level of nature, it is the real thing
If you involve yourself in this way with people
your life will be cheapened
You will feel used
You will lose a sense of your own value
and you will lose the sense of other people's value as well
There is nothing to be gained here and much to be lost
Sexuality is really meant for a real relationship where real union is possible
And real union has to do with where you are going in life
and what you can accomplish together in service to the world and to others
Falling in love may be a wonderful dream
but it does not assure a real relationship at all
A real relationship is built upon compatibility, shared values
and a commensurate level of strength and involvement in the world
Here if a strong person unites with a weak person
the strong person will become weaker
That is why if you want to become strong, you must be with someone who is strong
You must have friendships with people who are strong, who inspire you
It is not their charm, their beauty and their wealth now that is valuable
if they even have these things
It is the commitment in their lives
It is their honesty
It is their clarity
It is their purposefulness
In wealthy nations, life is too easy for young people
They do not see how serious their decisions really are
They think they can play and give themselves to their hobbies and enjoyments
without any future consequence
You will not see this in poorer nations
where the choices are few and very consequential
And in really poor nations, there are no choices for so many people
Therefore, those who have the freedom to choose have an immense opportunity
If it is wasted, it is a tragedy because it is an opportunity that is rare
And it is an opportunity you may not have in the future
facing Great Waves of change in the world
environmental degradation, climate change, violent weather
economic and political instability
and the growing risk of conflict and war that this all will create
To waste your great window of opportunity
is really to forfeit the one great chance in your life
For these chances will not be there in the future
The future will not be like the past
Humanity is facing declining resources in the world
It will change everything
in how people live
and in the choices and opportunities that are available to them
If you really saw how important this was
you would not want to waste your time on anything or anyone
Time would be seen as precious
Education is precious
Decisions are really important
Who you are with becomes very significant
The standards you bring to your relationships
and the criteria you have for relationships
become really the determining factors in your life
For who you align yourself with and who you unite with in marriage or partnership
will determine the kind of life you have
and it will determine the degree
to which you can respond to the deeper Knowledge within yourself
As We have said, if a strong person joins with a weak person
the strong person will become weaker
That is the dynamics of relationships
What you seek for in other people reflects what you seek for in yourself
If you are mesmerized by beauty, wealth and charm
well, that is what you will look for in other people
If you want to run away from yourself
you will look for that in other people
Or if you see that your youth is your one great opportunity
to discern your real direction in life
and that you really do have a real direction in life
and you really do have a greater purpose that is waiting to be discovered
then you will not want to waste time on anyone or anything
You can still have simple enjoyments
You can still have carefree moments
You can still enjoy simple delights and pleasures
but you are really looking, and you are really focusing your life
Here you must be willing to break away from the general attitudes of young people around you
You will find in time that the foolishness and the irresponsibility will become irritating and discouraging
Here you are looking for persons not for people
The emphasis is on finding certain persons
who share your deeper values and your most serious intent
rather than giving yourself to crowds of people
who are just drifting around as if they were being blown by the wind
making a lot of noise, but not accomplishing anything
This is very important, you see
for how you spend your youth will so determine how you spend the rest of your life
What you value in your youth will determine to such a great degree
the kind of life you will have and how your life will end up
Here it is valuable to talk to people who are older than you
Talk to people in their thirties
Talk to people in their forties
What have they learned?
If they had to do it all over again, what would they do?
Where did their life end up?
Here again do not judge them or condemn them but simply listen to them
to see what their example can teach you
Here you can learn what you need to learn without having to suffer
and to make tragic mistakes yourself
There are some mistakes you will have to make of course
but if you can avoid the big ones, the really costly mistakes
you will be saving your life
The next important thing to understand
is that great talent emerges later in life
Do not think that by the time you are 24 or 25 you will have this all figured out
because you will not
What will be important at this age is to establish real values
and to learn enough about other people
to recognize all the things you do not want to be, do or have
That limits your choices, which is a good thing
because it makes real decision making possible
If you have to choose between many things, you cannot choose
but if the field is narrowed, if the choices are limited
then real decision making has power and potency
If you have been learning through your own experience and observation the various things you do not want to be, do or have
that will limit your focus and give it more power
because you cannot focus on everything
That is not having a focus
A focus is narrowing and bringing your attention to fewer things
the things that are really promising
the things that continue to be promising
the things that do not fall away under careful observation or evaluation
But what this will really means in terms of what you can become and do, that happens later
But to even have a chance to make this discovery
you must build the foundation in your youth
The youth is about building a foundation
That is more important than having ultimate answers
because ultimate answers, if they are true and genuine, will come later
Your foundation can be seen in this way
It is built of Four Pillars, Like the legs of a table
these are the Four Pillars of your life
the Pillar of Relationships, the Pillar of Work
the Pillar of Spiritual Development or Insight and the Pillar of Health
Each of these Pillars represents the four major focal areas of your life
the four major focal points of your life
Relationships primarily is with other people
but it is also relationship with where you live
your relationship with what you do
your relationships even with what you own
are all part of the Pillar of Relationship
The Pillar of Work involves all work that you do
both work for pleasure and work to earn money
It involves your use of money
and really how you manage yourself
in the face of your fundamental and greater needs in the world
The Pillar of Spiritual Development deals primarily
with gaining access to the deeper Knowledge within you
and allowing it to guide you, to protect you and to enable you to discover
what your life is really about and what it is really for
The Pillar of Health deals with both your mental health and your physical health
both of which must be effective enough and sustained enough
to enable you to seek for a greater experience in life
If you are crippled emotionally or psychologically, then that must be corrected
or you will not have the focus and the energy
to recognize and to pursue your greater purpose for being here
All these Four Pillars occupy everything that you do
and how you value them and how you see them are very important
because your life will only be as strong and as stable as the weakest of your Pillars
People fail in life because their Pillars fail
Because very few people really build the Four Pillars of their lives
their lives end up being very unstable
and the weakest Pillar ends up undermining them or overthrowing them
For example, they may have placed a great deal of emphasis on being successful in their careers
but their relationships have never been cultivated and developed
and they have very little skill and awareness regarding them
and so their marriages fail
and their children disassociate from them
And whatever wealth they have accumulated
is overwhelmed by the great personal loss that they face
in the destruction of their relationships
In another example, some people will give themselves to relationships and make that a great focus
but will never develop their work life or their financial reality
and so this ends up undermining their lives
creating immense and prolonged stress for them
If people do not attend to their mental and physical health
it begins to undermine the quality and even the quantity of their lives
This is all about building a foundation
It is not about having ultimate answers
Your greater purpose will reveal itself in stages to you
At each stage, you may think you have really found it
but really it is only a stage
It is a process of revelation
Therefore, do not think you have the ultimate answer
for that will be a mistake
Instead, follow the path of the greatest reality and resonance for you
and listen to your inner experience along the way to make sure you are on the right track
Because again it is so easy to
give yourself to something that stimulates your desires and fantasies
but which in reality has no real substance for you
The next important thing is to look at the world with objectivity and compassion
The world will disappoint you
It may discourage you immensely
if you are really seeing what is happening in the world
and are not in a position of avoidance and denial
But like other people, the world is teaching you important things
It is disillusioning you, yes
but you need to be disillusioned to have clarity and certainty in your life
for illusions take the place of real clarity and certainty in your life
Ultimately, your position regarding the world
should be one of observation and clarity and compassion
Compassion is recognizing the legitimate suffering of people
It even recognizes the tragedy of people wasting their opportunities for freedom and for accomplishment
But it does not condemn
It sees this all as a process of life
It recognizes how difficult it is to really choose a real direction in your life
and to gain access to the deeper Knowledge within yourself
And it recognizes all the reasons why people will not do this
It recognizes all of the circumstances that keep people bound
in lives that will never fulfill their greater purpose
Therefore, do not waste your time and energy being angry at the world, condemning the world
Use this time and energy to build your foundation
Unless you can really change something yourself
or be a part of a group of people who can really change something
do not condemn things
Do not condemn people, organizations or governments
unless you alone or you in concert with others can really change something
Do not sit idly and condemn the world
This is like slitting your wrists and letting the blood flow out
It is such a great loss of energy
and it gives you nothing
It takes you nowhere
It might seem self-satisfying in the moment
It might seem very justified in the moment
but it is really wasteful
and it just adds more anger and criticism into the mental environment of the world
things which the world does not need
If you see you can do something productive
if you can make a difference in helping something, serving something or redeeming something
then give yourself to that
But let the world be as it is, without your condemnation
That is very important
Knowledge within you will not condemn the world
It is only here to activate a certain kind of change in the world
The more you become like Knowledge within yourself
the more you will benefit from its immense strength
and fearlessness and power and effectiveness
These are all recommendations for young people
but they apply to people of all ages
These are things you should teach your children
This helps them to build the foundation for becoming strong and balanced and powerful in their lives
This message is for young people
but again, its wisdom is for people of all ages
For learning the wisdom of the world is necessary
and can be initiated at any age
and gaining contact with Knowledge and taking the steps to Knowledge within yourself
is needed by all people at all times
God has sent a New Message into the world to emphasize these things
and to provide the steps to Knowledge
so that people everywhere of all faith traditions and nations
of all temperaments and all environments
can have this greater opportunity and possibility to discover their greater purpose for coming into the world
to discern their real nature and to fully utilize their design as individuals
all the qualities about them that make them seem unique
and how these qualities can be turned into strengths, instead of liabilities
The power and presence of Knowledge lives within you
it is here to accomplish something
It will take you to all the right people you need to meet
It will take you to all the right circumstances you will need to be in
And it will free you from anything else
that would take you away from recognizing, experiencing and fulfilling a greater life in this world
Knowledge will put you in the position to discover and to express your unique gifts
and will give you the criteria upon which to determine who to be with in your life
and how to participate with them
Knowledge is God's great endowment to you and to all of humanity
It is an endowment that is known only by a few
It is an endowment that will be the key
to your living the life that you know you must live
and that you came into the world to experience
