This passage states the essence of the program:
"I was to test my thinking by the new God-consciousness within. Common sense would thus become uncommon sense. I was to sit quietly when in doubt, asking only for direction and strength to meet my problems as He would have me. Never was I to pray for myself, except as my requests bore on my usefulness to others. Then only might I expect to receive. But that would be in great measure. "
"My friend [Ebby] promised when these things were done I would enter upon a new relationship with my Creator; that I would have the elements of a way of living which answered all my problems. Belief in the power of God, plus enough willingness, honesty and humility to establish and maintain the new order of things, were the essential requirements."
As Joe McQuany said: "We are fortunate to carry this message".

(A) I would enter upon a new relationship with my Creator;

and humility to establish and maintain the new order of things, were the essential requirements.
