Reframing God’s Will

 

MACHIVENTA:  Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek.  I am glad to be here with you and glad to get started once again.  You have always seen that spirit is here to help you and that you see us in some ways as an extension of your own doing God’s Will or your will, and sometimes you are confused about that, but in this case we want to reframe that for you, to know that you who will to do God’s Will, who will to do Christ Michael’s Will in the Correcting Time, you have co-creatively become an extension of Christ Michael’s Will for your planet.  And through your participation, through your listening, through the urgings that we give you and your motivation to move on those urgings, you are doing Christ Michael’s Will. 

 

Now for all of us, including myself, all the angels, midwayers and celestial teachers and others, this is about as close as we can come to living a mortal life.  We are so pleased to have you working with us, to express Christ Michael’s Will in the living flesh of your own lives, it is almost tactile rather than vicarious in that we can become much more in an experience of mortal living than we could ever come in any other regard.  For us who have been created rather than developmentally grown from cells and having received a spark of life and the downloading of a Thought Adjuster, this is a precious experience to us.

 

The clearer you are in your relationship with your Thought Adjuster and releasing your will to God’s Will, and following the crumbs of urgings that lead you to fulfill God’s Will, we get to experience that with you.  We are incredibly delighted with the experience of knowing God through you, just as Christ Michael and the First Source and Center as your Thought Adjuster gets to enjoy their experience of living with you.  And so, in this regard, as you become more and more in sync with God’s Will, you become more and more one with the presence of God within you and with us, and we experience the joy of experiencing the development of the Teaching Mission, Correcting Time, Magisterial Mission and all the other work that is taking place.  It is as though we are sitting in the audience at some distance from the activities, but we have that ability to experience it to some degree.

 

I am open for questions.

 

Can we come back to Urantia to continue this work?

 

Liz:  Good morning, Machiventa; it’s nice to be back with you and the group today.    My question today is that many of us have such affection for this planet but we can see that it is in grave trouble.  I’m not sure you are going to want to answer this, but when we pass over onto the other side, is there an opportunity, or could there be an opportunity for us to come back and assist with the recovery of this world, or will we lose our enthusiasm for that with more interesting things to come?  Could you to address that, if you would, please.

 

A remote possibility that the Life Carriers might come back

 

MACHIVENTA:  Certainly, and thank you for your question.  This is a situation that we in our various teams under Christ Michael have given much attention; it is a rather long arc from the time that the Life Carriers brought the plasm to Urantia to be developed, for it to evolve, for it to grow.  The reason for all of that was first of all to bring sentient beings who could receive a Thought Adjuster, to bring those into existence.  Second is to provide a physical and social environment that would assist individuals to grow into the fullness of the relationship between themselves and their Thought Adjuster, with God.  Those have been accomplished, as you would logically assume or gather.  It is not that we do not care about the planet, for we care about it greatly, for it will continue to be the environment that your children and hundreds of generations will enjoy and grow into adulthood, and to maintain a living to make decisions about themselves that would contribute to their growth.  We have also considered that there may be the possibility of the Life Carriers returning in some fashion or some manner, to restart some diversity of the fauna and flora on the planet.  This is a remote possibility.

 

You must realize as well that the longevity of Urantia depends upon it entering into the Days of Light and Life.  Once it does that, then your sun will continue on for many hundreds of billions of years—into the trillions of years—of its existence and this planet would make a contribution to the Universe and to God the Supreme, and all the generations of people who live and breathe and are raised and make decisions about their lives on this planet.  Now, if you didn’t catch that underlying piece of logic that I did not state, then I will make it clear: that if your planet fails to reach the Days of Light and Life—this is a presumption, of course, that this is a possibility—that your planet would end in a supernova of your sun, which may occur anyhow, but in that case, the planetary population would be transported to another planet, which has been discussed in the Urantia Book.  It is of paramount importance to Christ Michael that this world, the planet of the Cross, becomes stabilized, physically and socially, but most importantly socially and spiritually at this time and into the centuries ahead.  One thousand years on your planet is not much time; but, it is sufficient time, however, for nations to come into the development of peace, of social, political and economic stability and eventually into peace and then onward to the Days of Light and Life.

 

How Urantia will come into the Days of Light and Life

 

You, who have dedicated your lives to the Urantia Book and to the Correcting Time, have initiated the very inception of the Days of Light and Life.  There is within these efforts the kernel, the seed, the germ plasm of that eventuality.  You do not know how this will come about, though we know fully.  It is that we have hope.  Just as angels can feel disappointment, and all of us can feel disappointment on occasion when your projects fail—particularly those involving individual mortals—we also feel hope and we also feel joy, for in hope there is always the possibility of fulfillment and then joy and this is what we are working at for your planet, for each of you individually and for your civilization.  You have within this Correcting Time and the projects that we are working on, the very germ plasm I have mentioned, to bring about the process of social stability, which will then inaugurate political stability and economic stability.  Professions and the social institutions will come along in like fashion as they follow this trend of burgeoning stability.  Now that there are no longer any Dark Channels or Circuits of Energy on Urantia, it is all now of Light and it is beginning to glow with the infusion of the angelic work that Nebadonia has begun.  It is delightful for us to see this new era of your planet. 

 

 

 

 

You are making your contribution to Urantia now

 

To answer your question more directly, no, you will not have another opportunity to make a contribution to this world.  You have done so already and you are doing so with your own lifestyle and the decisions that you make and how you educate and enculturate these current generations of children and young adults and older adults to care for their planet, even better than they would care for their home.  I wish you to think about this, to hold this close in your hearts as the statements I have provided in the last few minutes are very important; they are critical to the completion of Christ Michael’s plan.  And no, Christ Michael’s plan will not be thwarted, but it will continue.  There will always be some individuals who see hope and see the light at the end of the tunnel, figuratively and in reality, to make an effort to assist your planet and all the people come into light as you are doing now.

 

Liz:  Thank you very much.

 

Coarse and blasphemous language that is current in our culture

 

Jeff:  I have a question.  It certainly doesn’t have the gravitas of what Liz did, but my personal observation is that in the last 50 years or so, at least in the United States where I have been living, the human discourse has become increasingly coarse and less towards light.  Addressing elders in the formal has given way to addressing almost everyone in the familiar, including our conversations here.  But it also seems that blasphemous language seems to be incompatible with living a life dedicated to the 7 core values.  My point is to inquire about the commandment, at least in the King James Version, that says “Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain.”  Would you be willing to comment upon the ancient or original meanings of this, and the contemporary usage of the everyday and common use of expletives in ordinary conversation today?

 

MACHIVENTA:  No, I would not.

 

Bringing back a civil society

 

Jeff:  Okay.  Then can I ask will the adoption of the 7 core values after the collapse bring back a civil society?

 

MACHIVENTA:  I invite you to take a look at the ethics and morality that we have co-creatively brought into existence for you.  We would ask you to look at the last 5th step of the logic sequence of ethics and morality, at “The Graces of Expressed Ethics.”

 

Ref.:  Page 52-56, Restoring the Greatness of Democratic Nations — A Radically Conservative and Liberal Approach.  https://sites.google.com/view/danielraphael/free-downloads

 

Those are the decision-actions that make your lives smooth, social interaction smooth and being kind.  There are many performances, actions that you can take as a mortal to insure that there is a kindness that goes on in conversation within your intrapersonal conversation and your interpersonal conversation with others.  This sequence was not made to be just an idle piece of thoughtfulness to be left and set aside.  What this sequence provides from values-to-the-graces is meant to be employed in your daily lives.  We ask you to read through those carefully and to see how the graces could apply to our conversations here.

 

Jeff:  Thank you.

 

Under what conditions could Life Carriers return?

 

Stéphane:  Machiventa, we’ve mentioned evolution and I think that is to a world population of sentient beings who can receive Thought Adjusters and social environments of growth and to know God.  Under what circumstances would the Life Carriers be allowed to return to restart diversity of fauna and flora?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, I would be glad to engage your question, though briefly.  If you see this planet and perceive it as a Planetary Manager outside of the orbit of the moon, you would see all that was existing in all regards; that in other words you had a God’s point of few and knowability, to know all that is going on in your world, and to perceive it on a course that will lead to its eventual destruction—both of humanity and the supports that are necessary for the material continuity of your species and all other living species—if you took that situation now and you took it one logarithmic scale forward, you would then be at the point where you would be seeing the extinction of life on your planet.  And this could occur easily within the next 1000 years.  That is not said in jest; that is not set as the maximum or minimal estimation; it is just simply stated that it is possible that that could occur. 

 

Yet your world would have many hundreds of thousands of years—millions of years, billions of years—remaining to provide for new species, and for the rejuvenation of your world.  As you know, there are no plans put in place for the removal of a population from a planet except in the case of a supernova or some cataclysmic instance as that, or another planet smashing into your planet and everyone lost on both planets.  This is very remote and the Power Directors of the Local Universe are in charge of insuring that that does not occur.  Near misses are not collisions, though so may be near misses.  I hope you realize that what I am saying is all hypothetical to answer your hypothetical questions.  In that case, if the destruction of your world occurred—and let us say that there was a maximal nuclear whole planet devastation of all living beings, both in the seas and upon land and in the air, then there would be a reseeding of your world; there is plenty of time to do that, even from the plasma regeneration of your planet in the seas, and even after the decay of nuclear waste materials have decayed into lead.  To answer your question succinctly, no we are not planning on doing that.

 

Use of CRISPR and gene splicing

 

Craig:  I would do a little follow-up on that:  We were talking earlier about the potential of recreating previously existing species through use of CRISPR and gene splicing.  I thought that perhaps it might be the way that we would work, sort of maybe along with the Life Carriers to recreate diversity on the world?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, that is one avenue.  We would look further to that process to become more refined and more specific to the adaptation to the human genome to generate more peaceful individuals.  This is completely possible.  Your gene structure, your genome, is such that it has many unactivated programs that could be activated in time and at will, particularly by the Life Carriers and their mission to advance your species to its next evolved level.  That is even now going on very slowly, but deliberately through the recombination of individuals who generate children.  When the CRISPR process comes into its 3rd generation of specificity and capability, it will become far more capable of bringing out the best elements of the human genome.  This is the adventure which we look forward to.  It is not that Homo sapiens sapiens will be replaced; it is that Homo sapiens sapiens will evolve and they will evolve in such a manner that there will not be the mixed crossing as occurred as between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals.  This possibility which I have just presented is far more advantageous than to bring Pterodactyls back into existence, do you not think?  (Laughter.)

 

Liz:  Although that might be fun!

 

MACHIVENTA:  Until they chased you and ate you!

 

Homo spiritus

 

Jeff:  Can you make any comments at this time about the situation of a generation of young people that have been referred to in the past [transcripts] as Homo spiritus?

 

MACHIVENTA:  I have just spoken about that.

 

Jeff:  Okay, so that is what you are referring to.  Thank you.

 

MACHIVENTA:  Are there any questions from our readers?

 

Clarification on communism and socialism terminology

 

Roxie:  Yes, I have two from Elena from Odessa, Ukraine.  Her question refers to our NET #46 session when you talked about governance such as communism and socialism will ultimately fail.  Her 1st question is:  “What kind of communism and socialism are we talking about:  Are these unsuccessful attempts to implement the principles of communist society into practice or is it about theoretical communism?  I would like to receive clarification.”

 

MACHIVENTA:  One moment.  We have great difficulty with human linguistics and the tendency to place labels on things that are process oriented.  Communism and socialism are labels; I do not care what you call them, and you may even call what we have promoted in a social development towards the Days of Light and Life as socialism and communism as long as they contain the 7 core values, the ethics, morality, the priorities of decision-making to sustain people and the hierarchy of needs of individuals to change their interpretation of the values that are consistent with the 7 primary values.  It is important that this communism and socialism that you have labeled also become adaptable, meaning adaptable to the changing interpretations of needs of individuals and of whole groups of societies and your whole world.  You could put a label of a rose on a dandelion and it would be a nice dandelion you would think of in different terms.  And so you could put a label of communism on democracy and socialism on democracy and vice-versa as long as you use the requirements, the criteria that I have mentioned to sustain your societies.  What has failed to happen in the idealism of communism and socialism and of the utopian societies that were striven to be established in the earlier generations in Europe, and so on, is that they become an edifice of ego, a place where the personal predispositions for controlling others, for having power and authority and self-elevation and aggrandizement has removed the ideals down to the mundane and even the immoral.  Labeling as that is difficult. 

 

One thing was not clear in your question is “what was the starting point of the ‘communism’ and ‘socialism?’”  If they are to become adaptable and to sustain themselves into the far distant future, then they must support the sustainability of their people.  The full expression of the innate potential of each individual to become all that they can become and to enjoy all of the opportunities that they possibly can to develop their potential; when this occurs, we could care not what you call it.

 

Roxie:  She has a follow-up question but I think perhaps you have partially answered that:  “Is it correct to talk about socialism and communism as a completely negative experience for the future of mankind?  I would be interested to know your comments.”

 

MACHIVENTA:  In the context of my closing statements in my last answer I gave you, there would be no difference.

 

Mass migrations of uninvited immigrants

 

Jeff:  Machiventa, in our last session, you gave us some insightful answers to questions about the mass migrations of uninvited immigrants and what you described as appropriate response and inappropriate response, so in the United States where I live, the millions of refuges from Africa and the Middle East has been sort of an abstraction; it’s very real in Greece and the buffer states between these countries in turmoil and Europe, and the reason I am asking for a follow-up on this is we are now being faced in the United States with a large procession of people who are clearly economic immigrants with skills that we do not know very much about, who are marching toward our border through Mexico.  I guess I want to have you sharpen the pencil point on what you brought up last week that would suggest that we are better serving the community of people in Honduras and Guatemala by giving them assistance and aid to stay home where they were born, but make a better life for them.  Am I interpreting that correctly?’

 

MACHIVENTA:  There is so much about your question which begs to be answered, but you have not asked directly.  You are asking about policy questions of a national entity as the United States.  A far greater question involves the morality of the actions that this nation will take with or against those people.  You have had benefit of the article and the paper that we have produced co-creatively with This One, having to do with uninvited immigrants.  The morality and ethics that were presented there and the question involved are very real.  Two years ago they were very remote from the United States, but now they are very personal and immediate.  It was our hope that this paper, this brief article, would have been shared with others who would become aware of the morality and ethics that this nation will be confronted with, similarly as those in Europe.

 

The difference is that this nation now has been given the moral awareness to deal and treat with those people in moral and ethical ways for themselves and for this nation and their originating nations.  It is not very complex; it is quite simple when it is dealt with in non-political, non-religious, non-economic terms.  How do you preserve your culture?  How do you preserve your nation?  How do you ensure the sustaining continuity of your culture in all its regards, as the preservation of culture that could be art, that could be literature, that could be your way of life, your democracy and so on?  You have seen how the various immigrants from the last century and a half have developed their own enclaves within this nation, enjoying the benefits of democracy, yet preserving their own culture. 

 

There is a necessity in the adventure of national growth and stability and sustainability that preserves the basic elements that give freedom to individuals to appreciate.  When you have many millions of people who cross the border, who can create problems and difficulties for the established culture and population, which were unconceivable ten years ago — those things must be considered.  We wish you to think about this and that your question has led to a much more in-depth response than perhaps you have anticipated.

 

Jeff:  Thank you for that eloquent response to my non-question.

 

Prevailing emotional behavior in our society is fear

 

Stéphane:  I wish to add that if everyone’s behavior were driven by the 7 core values, we would be living in a very different world, but talking about behaviors it is driven by the framework we live in and the framework is the “law of the land” of different countries, different cultures.  And layered on top of that is our feelings, how we feel about things and the inequalities in this world.  Can you elaborate, please on the prevailing behaviors and what is driving them in our society?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, and thank you for your question.  The prevailing feeling or emotional response—you could also put it in the “sense” is of fear.  There is a tremendous pervading fear around the world, whether it is in such a prosperous nation as this, or other prosperous nations elsewhere and the fear that is in nations which are not prosperous and have great difficulty.  The difference in the feeling is that you have experienced the wonder of democracy, what it provides, a wonderful economy and the ability to express yourself and develop your potential, and to enjoy the benefits of who you are and what you have become.  In nations that have only a survival level of existence, lifestyle is dictated by necessity.  Feelings of fear are ever pervasive, feelings that death is only a day away.  The threat of such non-existence pervades their lives and drives them forward to make a living as best they can.  To have fear is something that is primal to them.  When they face a cobra in the grass in India, they are very real there and they kill thousands of people every year.  Those who are impoverished fear those things.  “You,” in generality used as a general term, “you” as a society have much to fear because you have much to lose.  A feeling that is growing, that there is less and less input or control by citizens individually in their democracies, and that their nation is going in the direction that they can no longer influence, either as individuals or even as groups. 

 

I will now return to our old refrain of the Correcting Time, that it is one of our immediate intentions to address this need.  There is more need for an eloquent form of democracy than there is for a need for food in your nation, and this applies to many other developed nations as well.  The factor that maintains a democracy is participation by individual citizens who can gather together to form large groups to influence their government.  This is a necessary process that we will begin to influence immediately in democratic nations.  It is not our desire to foment any surges of passion in nations which are not democratic, to have democracy—they will do that on their own and they know already the benefits of a democracy and a democratic economy than their own. 

 

What we wish to do is to have democracy to become socially sustainable so that it makes a contribution to the long-term sustainability of a democratic nation, and to the global civilization.  When we say, “long-term sustainability of a democratic nation,” we are not talking about a decade or a century; we are talking about 250 years, 500 years to 1,000 years of democratic process.  In those years democratic nations must develop its adaptability and evolve it to its more developed stages.  We have written much about that through This One and we will revisit that now:  The first stage of democracy is the feeling of need to participate, let’s say in a monarchial nation that eventually underwrites a development of final rebellion, revolt, and revolution and the expungement of the monarchial rule. 

 

Then when the new government, the democratic government is formed, as occurred in this nation in 1789-1791, that is the beginning of stage two.  Stage two democracies will mature as has now occurred in this nation and several other democratic nations.  They have reached and even surpassed the maximum effectiveness of citizen participation and are now swaying in ebb tide back towards the rule of “one,” and the rule of a few, an oligarchy.  This is anathema to the process and survivability of democracy.  Your nation, for example is in a stage where it is now ebbing back toward its old ways of authority, power, and control. 

 

 

 

Thoughtful contributions by citizens are needed

 

It is necessary now for your democratic process to become adaptable, by infusing the adaptability factor into your Constitution and Bill of Rights to grow into the third phase, which means a return to more direct participation by individual citizens. A direct democracy is laughable; it is a phase of democracy that is unworkable.  There must come into existence in an evolved democracy the thoughtful participation of citizens to make contributions.  We have suggested that multiple individuals working as a team can make thoughtful, intelligent, and ingenious suggestions for the benefit of their communities, and for their states and nation.  Some will establish “Co-Creative Design Teams” with a Melchizedek as their team Consultant.  If the team is a secular team, we can easily work with that format as well to bring alternatives to the thinking of team members.  When you have at least 10 teams per county or per city throughout this nation—let us say the whole nation—or in every school district (several teams in every school district,) you would then have thoughtful participation by thousands of citizens in teams that can then combine their thoughtful contributions to a larger amalgamation of those thoughts for the needs of their nation.  Only in this way will your democracy remain.  The benefit of this development of democratic process is that the teams become learning organizations; the teams become a means by which an individual citizen can learn about the issues that they are dealing with, about the research material and make decisions about it.  This then informs the larger society of the democratic process with these informed opinions and contributions by teams.  The process is slow, but it is sure and it is effective, and this is where we are going with your democracy, given the opportunity to do so.

 

Lack of interest in design teams

 

Craig:  You’ve answered a question I didn’t ask which is how you get from a local design team level to the state and national levels and that’s wonderful.  At this time I don’t see enough people interested to form such local design teams, but I imagine that must be coming?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, you are correct.  You cannot go to state and national regional levels until you have teams.  That is what we are now in the process of developing, though they are not visible to you.  I chuckle because we have much in the works around you, but you do not see it and are not aware of it.  This design team process is an idea that one day will become viral in every democracy.  It is of necessity because of the incompetency of your legislative process and the supposed leaders who have swayed enough population to elect them.  This is most unfortunate.  The Urantia Book speaks a great deal about the mongrelization of your populations and your societies; this is very real!  This is what is going on now in your nation; it is not from invaders, it is not from slave population, but it is from your own citizens who do not seek to do any better than what they have already, other than to buy newer vehicles and so on.

 

 

 

Reaching out to civic organizations

 

Liz:  So would you recommend that we reach out to local civic organizations like Rotary and speak about the 7 core values and the design team process in hope to light a fire?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, we would; we would highly recommend that.  It is a matter now of informing the public about the resources that you have.  The design team process is a proven and effective means by which you can have informed citizen participation in the democratic process.  This is something that must become a project, so to speak, much as there is “Crutches for Africa” and other projects that these service organizations have.  Once this becomes a feasible process, and an acceptable project, and not seen as a political enterprise, then there must be training and then you will see this begin to bloom and blossom as the teachers become facilitators and the facilitators start teams and they multiply.  Does this answer your question?

 

Liz:  It does; thank you very much.  I’ll get on that.

 

How do we motivate people who are satisfied with what they have?

 

Stéphane:  My question was on a more basic level in a society where people are satisfied with all of the food and all of the things that make us satisfied in this world, how do you motivate people to move, to realize that their life is unsustainable and to move into the 3rd stage of democracy?  How do you motivate people to realize this?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Thank you for your question.  “Necessity is the mother of invention.”  So far, invention has taken the form of material goods in your nation.  When the toys are taken away, then what is left?  Then there is only interaction that is left.  You will see the answer to your question in the arc of this discussion I am going to give you now:  You see how this nation’s current President was elected?  You will see in time when things go awry in your society, when the economy begins to collapse, that there will be riots and revolts and even rebellions, but we do not see a revolution occurring.  There will be huge swaths of segments of your nation that will be in turmoil.  You will see a great deal of material violence go on in your nation that will go on for quite some time.  It too, eventually will wane and cease.  You will not have an altogether dystopian world; it will not give way to any utopianism in any regard.  What will occur is that there will be a great loss of people and material supports for the lifestyles that they had.  If people can no longer afford 80 inch televisions or even 32 inch televisions, or cannot afford the monthly fee for the cable or satellite connection, then people will be disgruntled and act out their violence. 

 

It will eventually be seen that violence is non-productive; it just creates more chaos and mayhem and disorganization in a high degree.  It is at that time and before then that the positive influences of social evolution occur; and I would use the term “regeneration,” as well, that people must be taught how to adapt to the circumstances, and that would include these design teams, the values and teaching morality and ethics to individuals.  Motivation, again, occurs through need; where there is no need there is happiness, satisfaction, ease of lifestyles and so on.  What will occur in this large arc of many years will be the reinvention of democracy; it will be widespread and clearly known that developed and mature stage 2 democracies no longer are functional or effective.  It is necessary then that a new form be developed wherein lifestyles can be resumed and renewed, though in more modest terms.

 

We are here early with you; we have started over 35 years ago with this effort and here we are with these ideas and thoughts now at the point where these ideas and these proposals for social sustainability are in fact in need of being implemented to continue the growth and adaptability of democracy as it has evolved.  What will tip the scale towards the greater need for these social devices or these social innovations is the need for reorganizing your governments on a more functional and effective scale.  They are now at perhaps one of the most dysfunctional as has existed during the duration of this nation’s democracy.  It has always been our effort to bring about these plans in a way as they mature so that they can now be applied to people who are concerned and want to have a greater voice.  The means is here; the processes have been matured; now it is a matter of having people become aware of them and to then begin to implement them.  It is our heartfelt desire and need for your societies to accept these new innovative processes now, in the early stages, so that they can be proven to larger swaths of your population in the years to come.  Thank you for your question.

 

The egotism of the dysfunctional political ruling parties

 

Stéphane:  Machiventa, the problem is that the most dysfunctional political group is leading at a time when this idea is at its lowest prosperous time, so they point to prosperity as an outcome of their success.  (Machiventa chuckling.)

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, they would do that, would they not?  The egotism of political ruling parties has no bounds; they attribute all good things to themselves while negating and dismissing and ignoring the opposite that is almost as frequent as the prosperity.

 

Reaching out to PTA groups

 

Jeff:  Liz brought up the possibility of going to Rotary groups, which are cheerleaders for local populations and local businesses and local institutions.  Would it also be appropriate for us to approach Parent Teacher Associations who are parents who are involved very emotionally with the education of their children?  Is that also an appropriate place to pursue?

 

MACHIVENTA:  Yes, it is an excellent place to start, as there is a desire and need of parents to be involved.  Yet, the development of a secular design team must be done outside of a PTA school meeting situation.  It would be through participants, someone going to several of those meetings to become acquainted and offering to individuals the possibility of establishing a team that would approach a problem.  The difficulty often occurs is that the team would want to work on a larger problem than they are capable of finding the answers.  Once they form, they would then need to engage a problem that they can solve and to demonstrate their effectiveness and their intelligence to come up with reasonable answers.  It could be something quite as simple as the placement of a water fountain; it could be the placement or colors in a school, and so on.  It is necessary to begin simply before taking on larger problems and eventually the power structure and the monopoly in education by its hide-bound unions and professionals who have a strangle hold on public education and other educational situations.

 

The greater responsibilities of Planetary Management

 

In closing, I’d like to recap many of our sessions in this closing and with a brief benediction.  You have begun to think and perceive your lives as individuals, yet as Planetary Managers.  You are beginning to get a far broader grasp of the arc of responsibilities of planetary management than you have ever had before.  Also in that vision, in that frame, see that you cannot focus on just one problem because on a world, on a planet, all problems are interrelated—everything is connected.  The social is connected to the physical, the physical is connected to the environment, the economy is connected to both; your political realm is connected to all of it, so your existence as families, as nations, as social entities is a part of this whole.  And it is not possible to put your arms around all of these problems and solve them alone.  They must be solved in groups, in systems of teams.  Your political system is connected to your economic system; your economic system is connected to your social systems; your existence as a nation is integrated, it is not separated.  There is the necessity of thinking in moral and ethical terms, in personal problems, in interpersonal problems, in social problems, and so on. 

 

What Christ Michael has devised with us is a program that you know as the Correcting Time that embraces the entire major elements that are necessary to initiate a far broader program of correction on your world.  This is a process in itself; it is a system.  We will be engaging your democratic nations particularly, because they have more integrated systems in a way that brings about their evolution, their social, political and economic evolutions.  This comes about through the necessity to adapt to changing circumstances, to changing conditions.  Behind that, it is necessary to understand the human motivation that causes social change.  When we say “social,” we mean social in all aspects which embraces all social institutions, social political and economic and many others, so that through adaptability to changing circumstances and conditions, we can be of influence to individuals who make decisions to assist that evolution to take place in a rational process that brings about social stability and eventually social sustainability.  It is a process by which we engage the holism of a nation and its societies through its most influential social institutions.  We have addressed the family; we have addressed education; and we have engaged the political aspect, plus references to others.  It is important that we begin to influence the family first; it and education live side by side.  They seem to have come into a distinct separation in several decades, and it is now time for them to evolve and to see their connectedness and their mutual responsibilities.  The social institution of family and the social institution of education are the most influential of the society to adapt and evolve and survive.

 

 

Benediction

 

Having said that, I bless you for your participation; I sincerely bless each one of you who reads this text; you are being touched through this text.  The energy of this document which you have before you, whether it is on paper or it is in some other medium has energy in it and that is the presence of the reality of the spiritual influence this world has received from Christ Michael and Nebadonia directly.  You are our emissaries in many ways; you are our testing field for seeing how these programs are acceptable or not to other people.  Yes, it will be a great challenge for people to separate spiritual evolution from religious evolution, but it is necessary in spirituality to see the oneness of all beings; you are one with your planet, you are one with the plants, you are one with others and all existence.  Just as there is a biosphere, there is a spiritual-sphere of energy that surrounds you and each one.  This energy pervades your lives when you allow it to enter, and particularly so you will feel the guidance when you will to do God’s Will, and you can do no better than that in the eternal lifetime that you have before you.  Good day.
