\u05e2\u05d5\u05d3 \u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05d0…<\/p>\n

God has spoken again, and <\/span>God<\/span> is calling for a Worldwide Community<\/a><\/span> of people to gather in support of the mission of the Message and Messenger, to be the first students and practitioners of the New Message and to share this Revelation with others, working in concert with The Messenger<\/a> and The Society<\/a>. Here the men and women of the Worldwide Community are pioneering a new understanding and experience of God, spirituality and human destiny. <\/span><\/p>\n

The WWC is forming at a critical turning point, when the world is facing its greatest evolutionary threshold in history. Humanity is emerging into a Greater Community<\/a> of life in the universe and yet is unprepared. Humanity is facing the Great Waves of change<\/a>: growing economic upheaval, accelerating climate change and resource depletion. Religious division and violence are growing around the world at a time when greater unity and cooperation are needed as never before. At the same time, a great spiritual poverty is felt by people around the globe. It is for these reasons that God has spoken again.<\/span><\/p>\n

The WWC of the New Message is a vital link in the transmission of God\u2019s New Message into the world. It is this community that will extend the Message in alignment with the Messenger and The Society to reach people in every corner of the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

It is the ability of the WWC to receive and support the Message and the Messenger that will be crucial in bringing God\u2019s Revelation in its pure form to the world at this time. Thus, it is the task of this community to study, to practice and to live the New Message and to be advocates for\u00a0Knowledge<\/a> and for world awareness of the New Message and its Messenger.<\/span><\/p>\n

The students of the WWC provide vital support for The Society for the New Message, the organization at the core of this mission to bring God\u2019s New Message to the world. Ultimately, it is the work and contribution of the Messenger, The Society and the WWC that will root the New Message in the world and make it a vital, living force down through generations. With this, its deepest gifts flower and bear fruit, blessing the lives of countless people and ultimately changing the course of human history according to God\u2019s greater Plan for the world.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Who We Are<\/h2>\n

We are a diverse, global community of people who come from all walks of life, faith traditions and socio-economic backgrounds. We are Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Buddhist, and people of no faith tradition. We are young parents, single mothers, teachers, business people, farmers, cabinet makers, unemployed people, nurses, students, artists and retired people. We recognize that <\/span>God has spoken again<\/a> to humanity<\/span> and that <\/span>God\u2019s Messenger<\/a> <\/span>is alive in the world today. We share the common awareness that we are <\/span>living at a time of revelation<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The Worldwide Community of the New Message spans the entire globe. We are people from North America, South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. We speak Arabic, Swahili, Korean, Chinese, Italian, Greek, Spanish, French, Turkish and many other languages as well. Whether in London, Sao Paulo, Denver or Riyadh, we learn, live and share the New Message from where we are with others around the world.<\/p>\n

We recognize that the Creator is giving a New Revelation of a size, scope and magnitude not seen on Earth before. This is a New Revelation from God for our times and for the difficult times we face ahead. We seek to study this New Message and bring its prophecy, wisdom, power and practices into our lives, families, faith traditions and into the world\u2019s awareness.<\/span>
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

How We Live<\/h2>\n

The WWC seeks to fulfill the <\/span>sacred<\/b> mandate that the New Message from God be brought to all the peoples of Earth who seek it. Though as students of the WWC, we live around the world in a diversity of circumstances and life situations, we all seek to uphold the following pillars of participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Studenthood<\/b>: we seek to learn and live the New Message by studying its texts and teachings and by following its spiritual pathway for our lives. With this, we practice <\/span>Steps to Knowledge<\/a>, <\/span><\/i>the <\/span>Great Practices<\/a> <\/span>and seek to build the Four Pillars<\/a> of our lives. We seek to follow the guidance of\u00a0Knowledge<\/a> in our work, interactions and participation in life. In addition, we endeavor to follow the teachings and example of the Messenger.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Relationship<\/b>: we seek to build and uphold our relationship to God, the Angelic Assembly<\/a>, Knowledge<\/a>, the Messenger, The Society, the Worldwide Community of students and with all humanity and the world itself, which we are here to serve.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Advocacy<\/b>: we work to advocate for the New Message from God and what it teaches for both the individual and the whole world. With this, we seek to make known that God has spoken again<\/a>, that God has sent a New Message, a New Messenger and with them, a new way forward for each person and ultimately for the whole world.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Service<\/b>: we work to serve the world, either by assisting The Society<\/a> in the direct mission of bringing God\u2019s New Message to the world or through other avenues of vital service that meet the needs of people and the Earth, with the New Message as our guide and inspiration. We seek to find and fulfill this service according to the guidance of Knowledge<\/a>, our nature and design and the needs of humanity.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Giving<\/b>: we give financially<\/a> to support the emergence of the New Message in the world and the work of The Society, at any level, however great or small, according to\u00a0Knowledge<\/a> and our own practical needs in the world.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    <\/a><\/p>\n

    What We Practice<\/h2>\n

    Steps to Knowledge<\/h4>\n

    Steps to Knowledge<\/a><\/em> is a journey of 365 steps\/practices and is the core text of the New Message pathway of learning and living.<\/p>\n

    Steps to Knowledge Continuation Training<\/a><\/em> continues the study in Steps through a series of 84 additional steps\/practices.<\/p>\n

    The Great Practices<\/h4>\n

    Meditation<\/strong>
    \nGoing beneath the surface of the mind to experience the presence and will of     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> within us.<\/p>\n

    Stillness<\/strong>
    \nWe practice stilling the mind in many kinds of situations to be able to see clearly and recognize the evidence of     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> within us and within others.<\/p>\n

    Inner Listening<\/strong>
    \nWe practice inner listening in our engagements in the world to discern the truth or errors in our thinking, decisions and actions and that of others. With this, we can begin to discern the movement of     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> within us and around us.<\/p>\n

    Hourly<\/strong>
    \nWe stop on the hour to rest our mind, to recognize where we are, what we are doing and to see if there is anything     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> is indicating for us to see, know or do.<\/p>\n

    Seeing<\/strong>
    \nWe practice seeing beyond the constraints of the mind, looking for greater insight or understanding regarding situations, dilemmas and conflicts that are long-range in nature, out beyond the immediate horizon of our lives. In this way, we can sense the overall direction of our world and how we must prepare now for eventualities in the future. Seeing can involve experiences of remarkable insight beyond the normal parameters of time and space. This capability is made possible by     Knowledge<\/a><\/span>. These experiences require ongoing contemplation and consideration.<\/p>\n

    Contemplation<\/strong>
    \nWe take time and care to objectively consider the meaning and merit of our own actions and decisions, questions and needs, and the actions of others. In addition, we practice contemplating experiences of     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> to understand them and know how and when to take action. Along with this, we contemplate certain areas of the New Message which hold special meaning for our studenthood and development as people of the New Message.<\/p>\n

    Discernment and Discretion<\/strong>
    \nWe take time and care to objectively discern what is before us and what we are seeing in others. With discretion, we seek to be self-aware and to know what we are saying and doing in any given situation. In this way, we maintain our inner connection with     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> while engaging with the world.<\/p>\n

    Decision Making<\/strong>
    \nWe bring the many questions and decisions of our lives to     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> so that it may guide our actions and shape our lives to prepare us to discover and follow our greater purpose for being in the world.
    \n    <\/a>
    \nThe Four Pillars<\/strong>
    \nOur lives and purpose are built upon Four Pillars: Work and Providership, Mental and Physical Health, Relationships, and Spiritual Development. Strong Pillars enable us to have a strong foundation in our lives and to be free for a greater service in the world. We recognize we cannot bypass the development of any of these Four Pillars, even if in service to the New Message.<\/p>\n

    The Watchtower<\/strong>
    \nWe cultivate a wise understanding of the past and a keen vision of our future. We practice looking ahead so that we may see what is coming over the horizon of our immediate future and prepare for the eventualities, opportunities and difficulties that may arise. This will enable us to prepare wisely for the future, using the power of     Knowledge<\/a><\/span> that God has given us.<\/p>\n

    Self-Knowledge
    \n<\/strong>We seek to cultivate a higher degree of honesty and awareness about our thoughts, states and conditions of mind, as well as the overall condition of our life. We do this so that we can make constructive changes in our lives to be capable and ready to participate in the world.
    \n    <\/a><\/p>\n
