"I say that for The Summit Lighthouse to expand, for the teachings to inundate the earth, there must be a greater dedication, a great consecration of substance and supply toward the Summit. I speak to those present and to those in the field who will hear my words. It is necessary that you tithe, that you give abundantly in abundant measure if you desire this activity to succeed. For the projects of the hierarchies of light being lowered through this messenger and our representative of the Holy Spirit who walks by her side are indeed to be for the fulfillment of the plan of God through the twelve hierarchies of the sun."

"By that commitment, beloved, you make the same commitment to the living Guru that I made in my own time to the great Guru Melchizedek. And therefore, I tell you, I did never want for abundance and had tremendous assets under my dominion, for I did always tithe to the living representative of the Almighty.
"And this is the measure of your portion, beloved, [that you must give; for the Law of the One states that a tenth of your daily portion] does already belong to God. [And the LORD, your Mighty I AM Presence, will take your tithe and return it to you tenfold in one form or another.] And therefore be grateful that you have one in embodiment who has the mantle of the Guru, through whom you may fulfill this law [of the tithe] to your own benefit as well as to the benefit of our blessed and beloved Church."

"The vineyard of the LORD is the world. The husbandmen are all who have gone forth owing the labor of service unto the LORD of the vineyard. So this certain man, this God-man who hired caretakers for his vineyard, discovered that the caretakers were hirelings seeking not after his own good. He demanded, and rightfully so, fruit from the undertaking. For, after all, the vineyard was his investment.
"Thus the LORD God Sanat Kumara demands fruit and the tithe of ten percent from earth’s evolutions, that the investment of the Cosmic Light might be worthy. Therefore understand this offering of the self: ten percent of the portion of the life of all evolutions upon earth in the service of God—in the service of the LORD of the vineyard."
