*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.
