Tremendous frustration in self, nation and global situations

 

MACHIVENTA:  Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek.  It is good to be among you and with you once again.  Just as the snow flies in the winter in the Northern or Southern hemisphere, there is a flurry of activity here on your world and in the morontial realms concerning your world and its development now.  Many of you see a lack of hope; you see tremendous frustration in your own life with the national and global situation as it is in so many places that seem to be disintegrating like sand from under your feet when you are standing on the surf and the waves come in and wash back out.  Howsoever, our activities continue on unabated and increase in activity, in fact.  What is most important about those activities is not the scattered-ness of them, but the coordination of them, that when you see Divine Order and Development in your life, this too is the way of business in the morontial and spiritual realms of the universe.  It is a fact of order that runs the universe; you are so acquainted with the lack of order and patterns in your lives that you take it for granted and see it as, “this is the way it is.”  But it is not the way of all life after your ascension.  The morontial realm will slowly bring you into that oneness, that flow of continuity, that pattern, and that order.

 

Seeking the pattern of Oneness

 

Your Ancients, the Taoists have called this the “watercourse way,” and This One has been reading a book of Alan Watts called, “TAO:  The Watercourse Way,” put together by his friend Al Chung-liang Huang. You would do well to understand the Tao of the universe for this is the flow of the oneness of all that is.  It is unnamable, though you must call it something, so it is the Tao, the Divine Order; it is the Divine Development and Divine Purpose, Order of things.  This is what you seek in your life in all regards and when you see it in your life you know that you are expressing the pattern of oneness in your own life as one part of the universe.  This is a most wonderful development, for sure. 

 

If you are living in chaos and you see turmoil in your life, that is because there is no order or pattern in your life, and you have not chosen to have that.  It is important that you as an individual have an intention for your life.  You may not know what the life plan is that you brought with you, you may not have identified that, but you have one, and a few of you have received the awareness that you have a destiny, something to fulfill.  In every case, whether you are aware or not, you must come to the point of your life where you say, “Why did I come here?”  “What was I to learn?”  “Now, what is the intention for my life?”  And once you mull that over and you have identified at least one purpose in your life for being here, you can begin to find meaning as you consciously move your life along to evolve into the individual and the being that your Thought Adjuster is guiding you towards.

 

Know surely, that your Guardian is here to assist you, and your Celestial Teachers are here to assist you in your mortal career, to understand how to fit in, how to produce, how to have meaning and purpose.  It is through the union of this order that your world will become into the Days of Light and Life, where the lives of millions of individuals express this Taoist spiritual way of living.  The “one with the whole and the whole with the one,” where you make a contribution to the whole and the whole makes a contribution to you.  This sounds like it is so much mumbo-jumbo, does it not? because you now live as isolated and separated from your society; your society seems so separate from you.  We see so little of the supports for your life and the continuity and development of your life plan, whatever that may be.  And so you see what kind of work we have in front of us to bring this about.

 

 

Integrating your material life with your spiritual evolution

 

The larger question for you who are religionists and who are evolving spiritual beings on your world is how to integrate your material life with your spiritual evolution, and how to use your material evolution, your material life, to support your spiritual growth and development along the course that is guided by your Thought Adjuster.  Of course, the first thing to do is to release yourself to God, to pray to do God’s Will, and then start making decisions to fulfill the purpose and meaning in your life.  When you say, “I want to do God’s Will, please reveal to me, God, what your Will is?” it is much like calling up L. L. Bean and asking them, “Please send me what you think I need.”  It does not work!  You know the right way to live, and so you make a decision to do so.  You must estimate your life on what is moral and ethical according to your social conscience. 

 

This is the reason why we have revealed these 6 core values of social sustainability to you now; these are the final criteria to validate your life as being ethical and moral, for caring for others, to not only “do unto others as they would do unto you,” or the “pay it forward,” but to initiate the good continuously in your life for the highest purposes for yourself and for others.  It is of particular interest to you as parents as you see your children grow up.  How have you prepared them to live a life of an improving quality of life to grow into their potential and to do so equally as others?  It is important that the future generations reflect the wonderful heritage that you now have an opportunity to impart to them.

 

Where to start in this Transition Era?

 

Student:  Machiventa, regarding the chaos in our world around us, during the Transition Era of what we are going through, by bringing in and working more and more with the social sustainability and the 6 core values, that’s going to bring order into our lives.  I would like to see more and more people start to work on the 6 core values consciously, and reaching out to people in their communities to start to bring this order into their lives so that they can direct themselves as to where they are going.  My question is, and I am sure it was for a lot of people, where exactly do we start?  I know we start with ourselves, but this reaching out to start in our communities, or just amongst our little groups, could you please go over that once more for me?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Most certainly.  It begins with yourself, that you ask yourself, “What have I done to improve the quality of my life?”  And you do not need to worry at this point whether it is due to materialism or to your higher values that are social and spiritual in nature.  When you evaluate how you have improved your quality of life, you need to examine your own thinking.  Do you berate yourself?  Do you chastise yourself?  Do you call yourself bad names when you do something wrong, or something does not work right, or you have forgotten something that you were going to take with you in your car, and you are one block away from your house and you call yourself names, and so on, for having forgotten?  Whereupon you need to return to your house and retrieve what you had forgotten.

 

Do you have questions about how you have improved the quality of life of your children?  Have you berated them?  Have you called them names?  Have you called them stupid, and “what is the matter with you?”  Or asked them questions that are shame based, so that these children come away with a shame based evaluation of themselves as being worthless and having no value?  It is important that parents get “right with themselves.”  You would want to be “right with yourselves,” so that you can be “right with your children.”  The 6 values, of course, must be applied to yourself in your own life.  How have you shown compassion to yourself?  Do you have empathy for the child that you were once before in years past?  And as you reach out to that child and help that child in your mind, to rectify the problems whether they were berated by their parent, or whether it is by some other cause?  If there is wrong doing in your past and you still feel shame and guilt and embarrassment by that, then that needs to be resolved.

 

The standard that was given to you in the “Life of Jesus” is surely one to strive to emulate.  A most difficult task, particularly now in a most difficult world where there are so many people bumping into each other, causing even more and more pinball reactions to each other as the cascade of emotions flows through you during the day.  How do you come to stillness?  How do you make yourself at peace?  We have said repeatedly that it is essential to meditate once or twice a day—once in the morning and once in the evening—for a period of time.  It need not be an hour or 3 hours, or anything of that sort.  It simply means to take time apart, whether it is 20 minutes or 15 minutes, to come to stillness, to still your mind, to still the rattle of “rocks in a shaken box” that makes so much noise, which is what we hear when we tune into your mind many times.  Come to settlement; come to peace; come to balance; come to centeredness; become grounded; become one with your true nature, with your Thought Adjuster.  When you know that you have your Thought Adjuster within you, that is the place to start, to be still, to listen in this space of “no thought.”  This is where you begin.  You can be of no use to others if you have not striven to assist yourself to grow into the fullness of your own Christ-like being.

 

Interactions with others in learning process

 

Student:  Thank you, Sir.  Our interaction with other people also helps us correct ourselves and to find the things that are wrong with us.  As we go about our daily life, we have learned that situations that come into our lives with other people and most often a learning experience, and if I may share, I had a moment the other day in which I learnt—I have always thought that the people that come into my life, maybe it was to teach me something, but this experience was different because I didn’t have any feelings of negative or positive with this person, and so therefore, I just accepted it the way it was.  And then with talking to other people, they both got this negative response.  Then, I thought to myself, wow, it wasn’t necessarily for me to learn, maybe it was just for the other two people to learn.  Do you understand where I am coming from, Sir?  (Machiventa:  Yes.)  It was quite an eye-opener because I have never looked at it that way, that even though I was there.  It wasn’t necessarily for me, but it was because I learnt that it was for the other two, as well.  I hope you don’t mind; I had to share that.

 

MACHIVENTA:  But you did learn something, did you not?

 

Student:  Oh yes, I certainly did—another way of looking at it.  Thank you.

 

MACHIVENTA:  You are welcome.  The differentiating factor, the discerning factor in your contacts with other people, and they with you, is whether you have the capacity to be observing of yourself.  If you can be in a conversation with another person and monitoring yourself at the same time, much like an alter-ego, or an out-of-body experience, you have the opportunity to evaluate your progress in the conversation.  If they say something demeaning and you react negatively to it, then you would want to know that you did react negatively to it, and then later after the conversation, you could reflect in your mind upon the causes within yourself that gave you a negative reaction.  What was it in you that reacted negatively to what the person had said?

 

Student:  Yes, yes.  So can you correct that thought just by sending them a good thought?  Does that make sense?

 

MACHIVENTA:  (Chuckling.) It makes sense but it is not always possible to do that.  You are not God, and you are not a manipulator of people, as God is not, and so you would want to pray for their highest and greatest good and ask their Thought Adjuster to reveal to that individual the right way to live and the right way to speak.

 

Student:  Uh huh, yes, Sir.  I have no more questions at this time.

 

MACHIVENTA:  Are there other questions about any other topic?

 

Why did the Caligastia 100 leave their Thought Adjusters behind?

 

Roxie:  Yes.  Last time I asked this question that was from one of our readers and you asked me to table it until the next session.  Actually, it is a two-part question that I’ll present as one because it fits that way.  “Given that many planets in our system did not go into rebellion, what are the benefits of the Planetary Prince’s staff leaving behind their Thought Adjusters when embarking on this service?”  And also, “In what ways would the presence of the Thought Adjusters have interfered with the service in the Prince’s staff?”

 

MACHIVENTA:  I will take the first part first, as I believe it will answer the second part.  First of all, let us discern what occurred:  All of the 100 came to Urantia without their Thought Adjusters.  Therefore it was in concert an agreement among the Thought Adjusters not to be with the mortals.  Would you agree with that?  (Roxie:  Yes.) So that the Thought Adjusters wanted the highest outcome to occur while the 100 was here on Urantia.  From that, you may discern with more reasoning that individuals, with their Thought Adjusters, tune into their Thought Adjusters for guidance, and for lessons to be learned.  In this case with the 100, it was essential that they all work in concert, very much like a hive of bees, that they are quite literally almost operating on ROM memory that was given to them prior to their arrival here on Urantia, to act out, to work together in fulfillment of the plans for bringing this world into its social evolution, preparatory to everything else that would develop after that. 

 

It is essential that in a group of individuals that they work in concert, particularly in the very beginning phases, that they work as one, and that they can be apart from each other and still know how what they are doing fits congruently with that of other individuals.  Yes, it is possible for them to do that with their Thought Adjusters present, but there is a dedication of mission and service by Thought Adjusters to the mortal that requires a greater fluid relationship between a Thought Adjuster and the individuals.  In the case of these evolved beings coming to Urantia, they would have an ongoing conversation, so to speak, with their Thought Adjuster in the conduct of their life.  It was not so much that they came here to learn how to grow into their own being through this service, but how to be of service without—“interference” is not a correct word—but without someone joggling their elbow for their own growth.  That is a very poor analogy, I admit.  This One does not have a very good library of analogies.  Does this help you understand what occurred and enables you to understand this situation better?

 

Roxie:  I don’t know how the reader will take it, but I think you have been very clear.

 

MACHIVENTA:  The second part of the question?

 

Roxie:  Was the negative aspect of that:  “In what ways would the presence of the Thought Adjuster have interfered with the service of the Prince’s staff,” and I think you did answer that.  (Machiventa:  Yes.)

 

The conditions needed for Light and Life

 

The next question, in the Urantia Book, I was studying Paper 12: 6.1.  It says, “The universe is nonstatic.  Stability is not the result of inertia but rather the product of balanced energies, co-operative minds, co-ordinated morontias, spirit overcontrol, and personality unification.  Stability is wholly and always proportional to divinity.”  I realize that this is speaking of stability in the universe, but must all of these factors also always be present for social stability on Urantia in order to reach Light and Life?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Those conditions are the conditions of Light and Life on a planet.  It is the evolution of growing into that state and stability that takes planets so long to accomplish.  In the case of Urantia, it should now be well invested in the very early stages of Light and Life, but it is not, and as you see that the Divinity of Christ Michael as Jesus, who came here, has had a very stabilizing effect upon your planet.  This is an important development for your planet and all other planets that were in quarantine and even for those planets now evolving that are part of the 90% of planets that have a design plan for them that leads them into the Days of Light and Life.  Much has been learned through this experience with your planet and the other planets.

 

Curiosity is an “inborn and divine endowment”

 

Roxie:  Curiosity is part of our “inborn and divine endowment” and some of us have been well endowed in curiosity.  Is there a time during our morontial career when we will have a chance to satisfy all of our curiosity questions concerning our natal planet?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Most definitely.  And according to your own development at the time, and your need for this information as it would contribute to your evolving maturity.

 

Roxie:  It seems like a lot of my curiosity questions, though I don’t see how they affect my evolving spirituality, but there are just questions that come up that seems like our history is lacking in information, or has faulty information, and that’s also true of the scientific era.  That was the reason for my question.

 

MACHIVENTA:  You must realize that you will have 1/3 of your time for recreation and rest, and that you will have time then to peruse the libraries of wisdom that are available to you at all times and all places.  You will have much like what you call a “tablet,” a small computer that you carry with you that has access to the total archives that are appropriate for your awareness.  That device is self-limiting as to the need to know basis for answering your questions of curiosity, but your questions are most elemental and you will have them answered very quickly once you become settled in the morontial realm.

 

Roxie:  Thank you, that’s very interesting and helpful.  I had never heard about that device.

 

Fighting terrorism

 

I heard a Mid-Eastern Sociologist say that “The more the groups fight and win, the more they grow, therefore if no one fights against them, they lose all of their opponents and cannot continue winning, which is what drives them on.”  I find this rather simplistic, but is there any truth to it in solving the growth in terrorism?

 

MACHIVENTA:  The proposition that the author presents is accurate for an aging society, that is very much akin to the rules of martial arts, that when you oppose someone, you are giving them your energy, and vice versa.  Therefore, the practice of accepting the thrusts of your opponents and using that against them is the best way to proceed.  However, you can see and measure the primitive nature of your governments and your governmental policies—particularly foreign policies to other countries and to the protection of sovereignty has been so important to the progress of your world, but that same situation now works against the maturation and evolution of your global society.

 

Roxie:  So, is the fact that our military establishments are so involved in the Middle East, should they be learning a lesson about that and back off?

 

MACHIVENTA:  It is not necessarily the military that must learn the lesson; it is the individuals who execute the orders to send the military to those areas, policies that underwrite those decisions.  Again we go back to the values that underwrite decision-making, and that those values are very much different than the values of social sustainability, do you not think?

 

Roxie:  Yes.  Thank you very much.

 

Bigotry in politics

 

On the subject of bigotry, do the majority of the United States voters actually see the candidates accurately, or as their political parties wants us to see them?  Are there enough true thinkers to make the voting public make the better decisions for the good of the country?

 

MACHIVENTA:  My goodness, you have many questions within your statement!  (Roxie:  My curiosity going wild again.)  It goes back to a statement by one of your wonderful cultural leaders who said, “You will see it when you believe it.”  And this is the same, that what you perceive in the outside is what is in agreement with your own beliefs and your own value systems, that these first direct and guide what people see and how they interpret what is given to them.  There are individuals who can read the Gettysburg Address, or the Proclamation of Emancipation and come to totally different understandings and conclusions about them.  It is important that the populace be well informed and educated in order to make rational decisions.  When they have not been trained in the arts of inquiry, discernment and reflection, then they come away with answers that are in agreement with their tradition or in their peer group, or in their own warped thinking—or in their wonderful thinking.  It does not necessarily always have to be negative.  And as we are striving to be of greater influence all the time in your world to improve the positive outlook on the world, this is proving to be a crucial element in this campaign, if you want to mention this specifically.

 

Roxie:  My concern is just what the majority of people these days think, because I don’t have access to the whole like you do.

 

Concerning the intense partisanship of conservatives and liberals, are we born with this predilection?

 

MACHIVENTA:  No.

 

 

 

Socially, are we too tolerant of intolerance?

 

Roxie:  Thank you.  Are our social groupings being too tolerant of intolerance?  For example, is our nation too tolerant of bigotry in our society?

 

MACHIVENTA:  That is an excellent question and thank you for presenting it.  Bigotry and those thoughts of bias against other people stem from the fact the individuals have not been enculturated or socialized with a consistent set of values and beliefs to assist them in thinking clearly in their life.  You are now looking back at over 10,000 years of global civilizational history to the formation of your race thinking in your minds, whatever nation it may be.  And only within 10 years have these 6 values been revealed to you, and there are only less than several hundred people who are aware of these values as the final arbiters of ethical and moral behavior.  Therefore, these values have not had time to make an impact in changing the thinking as reflected by individuals as they live in their world.  This is the main factor that has caused great difficulty in human history that there have been no final arbiters, no final criteria, no final foundation upon which to build social behavior, whether it is intra-personal or inter-personal or social or global thinking.

 

Effect of video games on some children

 

Roxie:  Thank you very much.  It seems that our children spend more of their time playing video games then they spend with their parents or elders in this generation.  Do video games beget violence in our youth that destroys their sense of morality?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, in some it does.  There is, as you have alluded to, there are proclivities, predispositions towards violence in some individuals due to their genetic history.

 

Roxie:  That’s all the questions I have.  Does anyone else have any?

 

What are the more mature cultures in the world?

 

MMc:  I have some.  You talked to us last time about there are more mature cultures in the world than the United States.  Would you give us some examples, please?

 

MACHIVENTA:  We have discussed that and I shared with you those nations.

 

MMc:  I don’t believe you shared what nations you are talking about.  You simply said that there were more mature cultures in the world than the United States.  What cultures are you talking about?

 

MACHIVENTA:  That was in #02, last time.  Yes, there are more evolved cultures in the world.  These cultures are not nominally national in character; they can be trans-national and cover several nations or within a single nation.  You will find that in some Inuit cultures in the Arctic regions around the world that these are highly peaceful individuals, and that they cooperate with each other because of the harsh nature of the environment in which they live.  It is necessary for them to cooperate and to share the best cultural assets that they have, whether they are social or material artifacts.  This has also permeated into some of the northern cultures, whether it is in Finland, for example, or the Nordic countries, and some in the marshy low lands of Northwestern Europe.  There are other cultures that are peaceful that seem to be quite an anomaly among cultures and nations in Africa, and you will find the same thing in Asia, that there are small groupings of individuals who are peaceful in nature.  You might also identify some religious cultures, which also exhibit elevated and evolved social existence as well.

 

The distinction between progress and growth

 

MMc:  Thank you.  When Monjoronson was speaking with us, he said, “Do not mistake progress for growth.”  I don’t really understand the distinction he is making here.  Can you explain it for me, please?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, progress is usually measured in the Western civilizations in technological, materialistic means, and yes there has been tremendous progress in technologies and how you live your life materially; you can now be transported from one place to another many hundreds of miles in hours or less.  Progress does not equate to growth, which is the inner growth of the individual, the intra-territory within an individual or the social and moral growth of your societies.  There is a tremendous mistaken identity between these two words in the Western civilization, that if you own more cars, a more expensive car, faster cars, you have made progress, but this is not growth.  The same primitive individuals can ride a mule as they ride in an automobile.  Does this help?

 

How must the global economy change for sustainable global civilization?

 

MMc:  Yes.  I understand the differentiation now, thank you.  How must the mindset of a global economy change in order for a sustainable global civilization to exist?

 

MACHIVENTA:  In one word, “extensively.”  Again, it harkens back to the value system and the beliefs that emanate out of those values that are essential to the growth of your societies.  The central organizing element of Western civilization has been material and it has experienced and developed the context of that progress almost to the final extent.  The last means is the zero-point energy and interstellar travel.  These, as we have said, are being prevented from being given to your civilization as you are still too primitive and you would carry your aggressiveness into other worlds.  Were you to be able to cross light years of time within minutes, you would bring your violence to other worlds as well, and you in return as a world would possibly be eliminated by those who would not tolerate your intrusion.  I hope this perspective answers your question.

 

MMc:  Interesting perspective, yes.  Thank you.

 

MACHIVENTA:  Let me continue, please.  The major element that is troubling to the mindset is one of exploitation.  As you see, even in companies that have very humane hiring policies and strive to have equitable treatment, they are nonetheless exploitive, and this is a much refined perspective that companies and organizations and businesses have not fully understood yet.  Whereas, eventually, when the employees are the owners, then they would have to become self-educated through their organization to teach them so they learn how to be equitable and not exploitive of themselves or other people.

 

Is marijuana detrimental to the health of an individual and society?

 

MMc:  Thank you.  I’d like to return to a question that you posed:  “Is marijuana detrimental to the health of an individual or to a society?”

 

MACHIVENTA:  In a word, “yes.”

 

Becoming Planetary Managers

 

MMc:  I’m not clear about what you mean that you encourage our audience to become representatives of the Planetary Government, specifically, Planetary Managers.  Would you comment further in what it means to be a “Planetary Manager?”

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, it is to see the world as not something to be exploited, but something through which the social assets, the individuals can live their lives with greater quality of life and to grow into their potential equally as others.  As a Planetary Manager you would want to organize the social structures and social institutions of the world so that they are systemic, that there are systems of social institutions that work together, that there is a flow from one to the other, that the information and results from one would become the input for others.  As you see now, even in well developed nations, if you examine the intention for education, it is fraught with many difficulties and has become almost meaningless in your United States.  The intention needs to be unified by a global policy of the betterment of individuals to improve themselves as a means of improving their quality of life and to grow into their potential.  When you begin to see just one social institution, as education as part of a system, that empowers all other individuals to become whole within themselves in their lifetime.  Now you have no system at all.

 

MMc:  Thank you.  I have no further questions at this time.

 

Understanding heritage and culture

 

Student:  I’d like to ask a question, Machiventa, on the “Transition Era” that we are now going through.  In looking over all the different areas, when you talk about transition, you can break it down, and break it down, and break it down, like emergency services, you can go to hospitals, medication—you can go on and on and on.  What I am trying to pull together, and I’m thinking of this as a “me thing” of a group of people, to do with the social sustainability and the 6 core values, and specifically to maybe zero in on one small area of transition that we can work with.  What I would like, Sir, please, is a suggestion from you as to one area we could maybe start working on?

 

MACHIVENTA:  We have covered this material in the past with you, and given you answers to your question.  You live in a culture with a heritage, and we have guided you to understand that your heritage and your culture will be lost eventually if there are no clear intentions for the existence of your culture and your heritage, and how it can be useful to next generations, and how the way of life that this heritage and this culture has existed, may be a useful and wonderful choice for next generations to choose and support on their own.  The work that you have ahead of you, of course you know, that this culture, this heritage has espoused many of the values of social sustainability already.  It is now necessary for individuals on the islands to understand what that heritage and culture gives them and whether they wish to live with that or not.  It is important that your elders and those who are administrators and executives of your cultural heritage now come to a clear understanding of what they give to future generations, and why the repetition of historic events and developments are so important to a peaceful way of life.

 

Student:  Thank you, Sir.  I have no more questions right now.

 

The climate change and its effect on society

 

ML:  It is somewhat protracted so, I ask you to bear with me.  In the context of what we are experiencing in the United States and elsewhere around the globe that is financial and social inequality, and the apparent growth of divisiveness between what we used to call “the haves and the have nots,” and in the context as well of what some to believe of “pending global financial breakdown of fortunes far beyond what we experienced lately.  Added to that, the issues of climate change, whether or not one believes that it’s all going to get warmer and continues to get warmer, or the more evolutionary view that says we are entering into an ice age colder than has been recorded in history.  In all of that, is there not from a higher perspective a building of tension, a building of awareness of all of these factors, such that they represent a critical transition in the socio-cultural economic milieu in which the globe resides?  This is a foretelling of pressures from many sides, or some major transition.  In this context, if we are even close, and we don’t need to be ‘right’ here, we are looking for your input:  What can we do on a pragmatic basis to propagate the method that can best be used to sell the message of the core values that you speak of?  How can we get people to know about this, and to begin living according to them?  I apologize for the protracted statement and set of questions, but I’ll take whatever you’ve got!

 

MACHIVENTA:  Thank you for your statement and it was well organized and well represented and accurate in its insights.  To answer your questions succinctly, it is to be open and receptive to new ideas that you can make a difference.  Our work is ploddingly slow in terms of human activity and human timeliness.  We operate on a generational and century basis for moving societies into new cultural territory.  The climate change and all these great tensions that you see in the world that are occurring now are natural and they are manmade as well.  The point that can be made from that, which is not necessarily their cause or the reasons for their existence, is that it must come to mind of the individual that they, as an individual, are having an effect upon the world, and that this has been building up, and building up for many decades, and actually began with the earliest eras of the industrial revolution. 

 

You are seeing in the climate change the increase in temperature, but also the front of the cold as well.  This is just a stark understanding of the extremes that are occurring in your world.  Your summers will become more horrendous as you are seeing now in the Southern and Eastern parts of this nation of North America, and you will also see tremendous cold advances of snow and ice in the winter time.  This is the process that is now occurring as your climate world is in transition into a warmer climate.  When you see the end of this violence of summer and the violence of winter then you know that your world is in for a long era of stability where it may not be as friendly as it is now, in the support of a huge civilization, or a population of over 7 billion people. 

 

There must be an awareness that individuals make a difference, and many individuals make a huge difference, and that millions and billions of people make an awesomely—to use your words—“humongous” difference is actually an understatement, because what you are seeing is the natural milieu, environment, atmosphere and all the meteorological conditions along with tectonic changes, is in the process of having a huge reaction to the billions of little “ants” on its surface, who have had a tremendous effect upon it.  What you can do is to now be open to thoughts and ways of living that support the correction of behavior of many people.  We have been slow to do this, but we have made immense progress within the last 30 years through the spiritual influence that is begun with the Correcting Time, Teaching Mission, Magisterial Mission, and now this Transition Era. 

 

You, personally, can be a part of what is to come by saying, “yes” to participate in programs that become evident, that are in agreement with your thoughts, which support everything that you have said in your fore-statement to your question.  I cannot be more specific than that at this time, as individuals, groups of people begin to build beliefs and expectations, which would collapse upon themselves if they were not supported.  Therefore, the things that we want to accomplish require your agreement and your participation, and your willfulness to assist us in this project and this work.  You will see these in your lifetime, and we ask you to support them when they come along.

 

ML:  Thank you.

 

There is a plan and someone is in charge!

 

MACHIVENTA:  Let us have a closing now.  Thank you for your attention and your questions, your reserved-ness to come to a decision of asking questions that add substance to these transcripts.  We, too, are in a close situation too, where there is not much outward activity of interest to you that is meaningful and that you can grasp onto, that you can “put on and wear like a coat,” so to speak, and move about in this information.  This is, as we have said, is a still time in the Transition.  And I say, “if,” which is a word that is not used very often in our realm, these developments and programs which we have projected, and which we have put into motion, begin to express in your world, you will definitely see the results of our programs and developments.  We cannot say more than that, other than to have hope my friends.  We are here with you and there is a plan, and there is someone in charge.  Thank you and good day.
