"You might say she's Guinea and I'm Pig. We are guinea pigs in the sense that we are here to show how man, the caterpillar, can become a butterfly in the next kingdom."

"Each true and sincere seeker of the next kingdom must walk out the door of his life. You must leave behind everything: your career, your security, your loved ones. You must leave behind every single attachment in order to open yourself for the remaining experience needed to totally wean you from any need at the human level. You have to walk out the door, close it, and never look back."

"This really isn't new to any of you. Every one of you in this room heard this message 2,000 years ago when Jesus was on earth. You were with him, worked with him, tried to carry out his mission after he left. You couldn't understand it then. You had not evolved to that level of comprehension to be able to do what he asked you to do, so you had to wait until now. This time you are all ready. You, Jesus' disciples and followers of 2,000 years ago, are back now for only one reason, and that is to make this conversion. You have done a marvelous job up to this point. Now it's time for the final step. You are a very special group. You are the earth's first harvest."

"For some of you, there will never be another opportunity. If you are a twelfth grader, and if you are ready to graduate from the human kingdom, and if you do not choose to undertake this final step, then your soul, upon death in this lifetime, will dissolve into the ethers and you will never incarnate again. This will be your first, last, and only chance."

"We are returning to Life, and we do in all honesty hate this world."
