*Waiting for massive implementation*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek, your Planetary
Manager.  Myself and Sondjah have spoken to you in weeks past about your
and our common situation that relates to the plans that have been made.  They
have been implemented as far as we can go at this time, and now we are
waiting for the opportunity for massive implementation.  I will draw you a
parallel or analogy:  During WWII there were transport ships filled with
troops on the West and East Coasts of the United States who were
transported to the fronts in Europe and to the South Pacific.  Whole
battalions and brigades were on these ships and had been trained before
they boarded the ship.  Now they were ensconced on that ship for many weeks
at a time, slowly traveling across many thousands of miles on their way to
the islands in the Pacific.  And what were they to do during that time?  Were
they to twiddle their fingers, look at the sky at night and count the stars
and look at the horizon and sunrise during the daytime and watch the clouds?
No, surely they did not do that; they continued their training as best they
could to maintain their discipline.  Discipline in this frame of reference
is the will to do according to how they had been trained.  So they would
continue their training within the limited confines of the decks and in
other rooms and places.  In between times when they were not in training,
they were cleaning the ship, preparing meals, checking on health,
maintaining their weapons and so on.



During the time that we are on this “ship of implementation waiting to be
off-loaded onto nearby shores”—hopefully for us and for you it is
nearby—that we will be in training and we will maintain our discipline.  We
will not succumb to cynicism, pessimistic, or become embittered by this
delay.  Simply this is what has happened to us as we have prepared ahead of
time for the large scale implementation that will be taking place.  You who
read these transcripts, and you who listen to these transcripts eventually,
will know what I am talking about.  You are anxious to get out there and do
something, just as the troops who would put their lives on the line once
the doors of the ship open onto the beach stepping forward, perhaps into
the withering fire of their enemy.  There is no enemy here for us, however,
except for time and the wait that seems so daunting.  It is time now for
strengthening ourselves for this implementation, a time when we say we are
ready and waiting for the gates to drop and for us to move forward
aggressively into this new territory of implementation.



*Your own plan of implementation*



I do not have a plan of implementation for you—that is between yourself,
your Thought Adjuster, and the plan of life that you brought with you.  Your
Guardian Angel is there to assist you to bring you opportunities as well as
the Midwayers to bring opportunities to you regarding this implementation.  You
will be reading these words once again sometime in the future and you will
see how true this is that you may step out of those gates onto the shore
and say, “Now what?  What am I supposed to do?” and of course that is a
time for personal reverie, for personal meditation, for going into the
space of no thought, to be in stillness with no thought in your mind, but
simply with the intention of receiving the guidance of your Guardian Angel,
your Thought Adjuster, and the messages from the celestials.  This is as it
is now.  This is a time of preparing yourselves for that time when you will
be implementing Christ Michael’s work in your personal life and in your
business life and your social life.  We invite you to open yourself to
write out an affirmation stating that you are open and ready and willing to
begin your life’s work now—not in the future, not at some future date, but
now—and this will be the sign, the start button for you to receive these
messages of guidance and inspiration and revelation to you about your
life’s work, whether that is your personal life or whether it is working
with Christ Michael’s Correcting Time programs.  Are there any questions
concerning this so far?



*Having a personal affirmation*



*Jeff:*  Why is it so important to have this affirmation, to write it out
as you say?



*MACHIVENTA:*  You needn’t write it out if you do not want to, but we
understand the imprinting of the human mind that when you speak, you have
already formed the sentences and the words in your mind and when you speak
it comes around to your ear and imprints your mind again.  And when you
write it out, it is a kinesthetic process of learning.  Not everybody
learns one way; some people learn through many ways and therefore it is
essential for us that you understand your affirmation and that your mind is
committed to this action.  There is no formula for this other than for
imprinting your mind with the willingness to follow along.  It is a means
of convincing that unconvinced part of your mind that this is the way to
go, this is how the will-aspect of your mind, of your volition seeks to
pursue and move ahead.



*A need for guidance*



*Jeff:*  I have two questions, not on the topic of affirmations, but
related to the Honor’s College program that Liz and I are working on.  First,
I am sure you know this, but I’m going to state that I really have no
social science background and looking at the survey curriculum, I think we
have that pretty much in hand for a short class, but if we are going to
move further to make this a one year program next step, I think that we
need to fill in a great deal more on the history and the philosophy of
equality and love of humanity.  I do not have any resources historically
for that.  Is there one who can kind of guide me, who to read or what to
read, or why some things should be covered?  I’m flying blind here and I
need help.



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, certainly.  We see that and we definitely do not want
you to flounder.  There are three people who are available to assist you—I
will use the word “assist” at this time.  There is one prominent individual
with two other individuals who have lesser competence than the first, but
who could definitely assist you.  What we ask you to do now is to seek a
mentor, to solicit for a mentor to think about and to write and to design
either a one semester, or one quarter class, or eventually a one year class.
You definitely need professional help in this, one who is an academician,
one who is primarily an educator, and this need not be someone from the
university, but could be someone from a community college or even a high
school or private high school included.  You need to have your eyes opened.
This survey course…



[This is *Daniel:*  Are you on a quarter or a semester system?



*Jeff:* Quarter.]



*MACHIVENTA:*  So one quarter of classes runs very rapidly and as you have
said, this is a “survey,” it is not an in-depth or detailed class that
pinpoints on any one particular element of social sustainability, but is a
survey of all of it.  It will be a challenge for you; it will be a
challenge for students to maintain the pace as each class in the quarter,
whether it is 10 or 12 working classes will provide you with barely enough
time to cover the major topics of social sustainability, based on the 7
values.  Therefore, you will need the wisdom of one who has done this work
before; one who has designed a class and who has some form of expertise
about the design.  They may not necessarily know the content and context of
what you want to teach, but that will come eventually after a few meetings
with this individual.  Do you understand?



*Jeff:*  Yes, I think I do.



*MACHIVENTA:*  The challenge now is to figure out how to solicit for such
an individual.  Second question?



*A world of “fragility”*



*Jeff:*  My second question is not about the class, but we are living in a
world that is becoming what Nassim Nicholas Taleb calls “fragility,” where
all of human systems are interacting and are spinning faster and faster,
and yet the robustness of our society is declining and we are susceptible
to what he calls “The Black Swans” or events that upset the fragility of
the system.  Is there a mechanism by which we can use the 7 core values to
take some of the fragility out of our economics system?  Is this something
we should be looking at?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Are you solely thinking about economics?



*Jeff:*  Well, no; I think about economics because that is my training and
I am not a social scientist, but clearly, it seems to me as an observer
that the entire planet, the systems that run the entire planet from
electronics all the way down to agriculture are getting more fragile.  It’s
not more robust and when we have these travails that you have been telling
us are coming, it seems that you indicate that change will come very
rapidly when we reach a tipping point, which is near at hand from what I
presume.  My question goes back to are there things in the 7 core values
concept that can be used to take fragility out of not just our economics
system, but our political system or the way we structure our small units of
society?



*Creating an interconnected system of systems*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, of course, the whole intent of the Correcting Time is
to remove the fragility of your societies and to create a system of
systems, whereas now you have many systems, but rarely are they
interconnected and synergistic.  Yes, they are interdependent, but they are
not mutually supportive.  They only work together when it is to their
advantage as they see it.  As we have said, removing the fragility in
Urantia’s social, political and economic systems will take at least two
generations; it will take one generation to spread the word and to show
people how to raise new generations who will understand their connectedness
to everyone else.  The atomistic individualism that is so pandemic in the
United States has spread to many other nations much to the detriment of
everyone and all nations.



This is a process of enculturating and socialization of each new generation
of children, beginning with their parents before they have children and
teaching parents *what* to enculturate their children with and *how* to do
that.  This is a process that will be one-on-one and in a classroom for
millions and perhaps billions of people.  It is not a quick process.  The
“black swan” that you see flying across the horizon, which will soon be
staring you in the eyes is unavoidable.  Do you understand—it is
unavoidable; it is inevitable; it is inherent in the structure of your
societies as they exist now?  There has never been a framework of any
society or nation that began its inception with a conscious intention to
engage conscious social, political and economic evolution with an intention
to become self-sustaining, and mutually sustaining with others.



*Beginning an era of intentional social evolution*



The era that you and everyone will be entering soon will be most difficult:
one is that you will have come away from the appearance of stability in
your societies and politics and economics and into a phase of almost utter
destruction and collapse of your existent systems.  And then as this
current generation begins to establish the foundations of a conscious and
intentional social evolution of their social institutions, there will be
much displeasure that it is so slow and there will be much harkening back
to the old era where there was so much enjoyment of material goods and a
passion for living if you had the liberty to do so.  Those three phases
will take time before the fourth phase becomes evident in the lives of
individuals as they live their lives as individuals, families and
communities and as a society with a deliberate intention to maintain and
enhance their self-sufficiency and self-sustainability as individuals,
families, communities and as societies, political institutions and economic
institutions.



This is not an easy way to proceed, my friends; this is most difficult!  No
nation ever began with the intention of becoming socially self-sustaining.  It
was all developmental, accidental, and by personal and group selections of
processes that were self-satisfying.  The capacity for sacrifice in your
societies across the board, throughout the world is almost nil: to
sacrifice something for the benefit of someone else without self-return and
self-benefit is almost unheard of.  You may look to philanthropic
organizations, humanitarian organizations, but they are just as lost as
your societies because they have not had a priority of decision-making
structure to make decisions that develop the functions, purposes, and
intentions of their programs to serve the social sustainability of
individuals, families, communities, your civilization and ultimately your
species.  This One has provided you with that illustration [below] in
almost all of his documents that he has produced.  It is subtle and
convoluted but a sure guide that shows how to make decisions with the
intention of your communities and societies to become self-sufficient and
socially self-sustaining.

*Doug:*  It’s not a breakdown but it’s a breakthrough.  Is that a way to
characterize what’s coming?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, and we present what I said a few minutes ago as the
first three stages as “hope filled;” it is hope for the fourth stage to
come into being, and only you can do that with us.  We will pull our weight
if you will pull your weight.



*Values and ideals*



*Stéphane:*  I have a question about the values.  The values are an ideal
and ideals can grow exponentially, as this is an exponential step-change
over what we have now, but our ability to live up to those ideals as we all
know, grows linearly; grows much slower and so when the rubber meets the
road, we are going to need some examples.  We are designing courses, we are
putting these in our lives and as we run through this process, we are going
to come in having to do compromises with the people that we are engaging
with, so compromises with people that perhaps are resisting that change and
perhaps compromises with people who have a lesser ability to understand the
values to a common ground.  Can you comment on this compromise we are going
to be facing with implementation?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, you are so correct.  You who hold these values as the
core of your new societies and as you begin to implement them you will be
met with exactly that situation.  It is very similar to the third step that
I mentioned earlier, as you will be looking back, harkening back to the
“days of yore,” so to speak in Old English language, to the days when it
was so much better and less difficult.  There are two aspects I want to
address:  One is that moving from the ideal to the practical and pragmatic
by instituting those values in founding documents and in governing
documents that these become part of the institutionalized organism of a
group of people, corporations, social institution, etc.  What we wish to do
is to move from the ideal to the practical, where it is not held out as an
ideal that you just simply look at and strive to achieve, but that you do
apply in your everyday lives.  That is why the emphasis is on the family
and the teaching and training of each new generation from the first days of
the newborn through their life when they separate from the family.



*The era of rapid implementation on a global level*



The second aspect I wish to say is that we are going to enter an era of
rapid implementation, and that is when these ideals, as you say they are—we
wish to speak of them in more pragmatic terms, but for now, for many people
they are ideals—where many compromises will have to be made to make them
practical, is that we will be instituting a process of rapid implementation
where these values will be put into living examples and operational
analogies and parallels for individuals to grasp how they are used in their
everyday life.  If you speak of these values as ideals, then you must
associate them with the morality of social sustainability.  These ideals
will be “in your face,” so to speak, when you deal with societal and
personal moral issues that have not had the benefit of an integral set of
values with the potential to provide an organized systematic process of
moral examination.



The connection between human behavior and humanitarianism are the values
that are inherent in your DNA, your genetic code.  You are a living example
of striving to fulfill these values according to your interpretations.  What
we will be striving to do is to take back the territory of all those
interpretations and get back to the original source of those
interpretations — the 7 values.  What you have asked in your question,
Stéphane, is fundamental to our work, and the key to it as you have so
rightly mentioned is the practical understanding of these values in
everyday life, that this is the fundamental aspect that is missing at this
time.  This is key to all of the implementation that we are calling for.  We
understand this key element and we are in process of making the means
possible to fulfill the rapid implementation at a global level.  This may
seem impossible to you, for you live in your house in a local community,
you drive back and forth to your community for groceries and you live in a
microcosm of your civilization.  Yet, there are many organizations
throughout the world that have a global imprint, who are humanitarian, who
are philanthropic and who may just see the value of these 7 ideal values as
something that they can pragmatically implement in their granting processes.



We have yet to put all of those dots together so they make sense and that
[it] is a deliverable process at the local level.  Thank you for your
question.



*What is happening with material sustainability*



Stéphane:  I’d like to bring the analogy of what is happening on the
material sustainability process a moment, where no one can argue that
generating electricity through solar and wind turbines is more sustainable
than hydrocarbons, and because of the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and
the global warming, people can now make that connection, people now have
this awareness and consciousness and hence a huge acceleration towards
material sustainability.  I’m not sure that people have the awareness and
consciousness of the need for a shift towards social sustainability, which
I think will be required, and which I think will be provided with the
cataclysms that are coming, which are needed to bring that awareness and
consciousness to the masses.  I think that consciousness will help in
providing—and will make it as black and white as the electricity case—that
the 7 core values are an obvious alternative to our current ways of social
interaction and systems.  Can you comment or agree or disagree that that
consciousness is not in the masses today as it is with material systems?



*Filling the vacuum of the socially unsustainable*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Oh, you are exactly right.  You are so right, and we with
the foresight of individuals on Uversa, as well as Salvington, foresee the
need for what we are doing now, and that is developing the conceptual
envelope to be inserted into the vacuum that will exist when people awaken
to the fact that their societies are unsustainable.  It is vitally
important that at that time, the vacuum be filled, rather than individuals
and even wealthy individuals beginning to establish utopian societies and
communities and lose their focus.  Our work is to maintain the focus for
the social and spiritual evolution of Urantia and its civilization.  It is
important that we have this available to you—you in the global
collective—available to fill that vacuum, as I said.



There is a very slow development of this consciousness now underway, as
some of you already sense.  Yet, it is absent in a huge percentage of your
global population.  The need for social consciousness of social evolution
is absent in 99.9997% of your global population.  So you are speaking only
of perhaps 50,000 – 150,000 people throughout the world who are aware of
the need for social sustainability and conscious social evolution of your
societies.  The mechanism for developing that social consciousness is a
process we are currently involved in.  Of course it must come from social
institutions, actual organizations, corporations, foundations and so on,
that see this need much as a think tank or a future looking organization
would see it.  And then there would be the need for sponsoring individuals
of social eminence who recognize this need.



There also must be a media mechanism which fosters this growing
consciousness.  As you know, almost all of those elements that are needed
are already present, but must develop as the consciousness of individuals
evolves to accept this new thought, this new possibility of social
sustainability.  On a more ethereal process, this consciousness is also
connected to your personal consciousness [so] that you become a beacon of
consciousness of the concepts and the need and awakening awareness in
others of social sustainability, and the fragility of your social
institutions as they exist now, that they are all almost capable of
collapsing.  The family structure, as you know throughout many developed
nations is collapsing and is deteriorating, though it will never totally
disintegrate.  It is from these wonderful healthy, functional families that
we will seek [for] these processes, the best practices of parenting and
childrearing to assist the other millions who are unaware of those
processes.  I thank you for your thought given to this question and the
opportunity to make this statement.



*Liz:*  Is there value in sounding an alarm?



*MACHIVENTA:*  No, absolutely not!  No value in striking an alarm.





*A business plan from a team member*



*Liz:*  Several months ago you tasked us with writing out a—for lack of a
better term, a business plan—if money were no object and there was
something that we wanted to put our energies toward, writing out a complete
plan of what we would do to serve the Correcting Time.  I have done this
and I have a complete five year plan including budget and everything else,
and of course money is an object.  It seems I am pushed to begin
implementing it slowly, and it begins with creating a foundation.  And yet
I am uncertain at this point as to the value of the foundation; creating a
foundation is expensive and it takes a lot of time—personal time.  As Jeff
and I are putting together this web site for 7 core values, it comes to me
that that is part of this plan that I foresaw.  Creating a web site needs
do something, or we need a way to bring people to the web site.  So, I am
wondering if this is the time to create such a foundation and if I should
be following this plan that I laid out months ago?



*Reasons for not forming a foundation*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Thank you.  First of all, do not sound the alarm; second of
all, do not form a foundation.  We have no time for the evolution and
development of a foundation into a viable working organization of magnitude.
If you do found one, it would only be a mechanism as a non-profit to
receive benefits from other individuals to fund your work.  We are
espousing that individuals who are in alignment with the Correcting Time to
align themselves in one way or another with an existing organization to
help them in their pursuit and to understand what they are doing.  We find
that even this approach is unproductive as many have already attempted to
do so, as This One has found many dozens of times of approaching
organizations who have all followed the same course that they “have
invented the wheel and they don’t need any spare tires, and that they know
the way forward and yes, thank you for your ideas but we are going to
continue doing what we are going to do.”  Rather it is a means of learning
the internal culture of these organizations for there will be a time when
they will be in quandary, when they will question their own purposes and
their own existence; then at that point they will be open for
suggestions.  That
is when you will understand the internal culture of that organization, or
generally of numerous similar organizations, and able to make a response to
their appeal for direction and guidance.



*Befriending directors or trustees of organizations*



Second best is to befriend the directors and individuals who sit on the
board of trustees and directors who you can be of influence indirectly with
your own personal philosophies and these values and the concepts of social
sustainability, and particularly that what organizations and foundations
are doing now are almost futile to affect a positive outcome in this [with]
such an uncertain future.  And the fragility that was mentioned a few
minutes ago is endemic in all these organizations that they have faith in
their existence, but they have no faith or no understanding of how to
become self-sustaining, other than to solicit for money, which absorbs a
huge amount of their time and their own internal organizational
resources.  This
way forward is difficult.  The consciousness which is so desperately needed
in a broadening, echoing and resounding way is desperately needed in
organizations, those that are particularly humanitarian and those that
sponsor humanitarian efforts through philanthropy.  It is essential that
this consciousness pervade those organizations.



Why I introduce these two organizational cultures at this time is this:  They
seek to do good as we seek to do good but for us our concern is for all of
humanity, rather than one particular organization or culture or ethnic
group or population in a particular geographic area.  Our work is
philanthropic in the most generous means of universe energy to assist
everyone without bias and prejudice; whether good or evil, we will benefit
everyone equally and draw them into the light.  Our work is also
humanitarian in the largest sense of the word that also includes the
spirituality of each individual and the spiritual consciousness of Urantia.
This work of ours is much akin to those two types of cultures and that we
have much in common with them and they with us.  Now it is to broaden their
vision to include all of humanity for all time, for your cultures and your
civilization to become socially self-sustaining into the eons ahead.  This
is far more than many organizations and individuals are able to grasp,
though this is the vision for Urantia that Christ Michael has set for the
Correcting Time.



*A web site for the 7 core values*



*Jeff:*  Can I assume from your just now completed remarks that a
reasonable objective for 7 core values.org is to get this into the public
domain as soon as possible?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Correct.  The work of your web site is to develop social
consciousness of the situation and of the values and of the fragility.  We
see several components to your web site and it is one that you will have to
work with in the design to encourage a person to hit the link, stay there
10 seconds and then hesitate and stay there another 30 seconds.  That is
the secret to web site success.  Your site will appeal to those who
understand the current situation in the world and that there are no viable
options on the horizons for the masses of people who are negatively
oriented toward the future, who do not see hope and so this is a means of
broadening their awareness and consciousness with a solution in mind.



*Jeff:*  Are you suggesting that we incorporate actual living examples of
this, or should we stay with the hypothetical?  I’m not sure what is going
to draw people after they hit the link the second time and stay 30 seconds.
Do you have something specific in mind?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, you should definitely use specific examples of
fragility and unsustainability and of eminent collapse, though you would
not use those words.  Then you would ask the question and you would seek to
develop in the reader, the viewer the question in their own mind, “Now
what?”  Then answer their question.



*Jeff:*  Should we be soliciting the written work of other people who are
not necessarily involved with us, but have specific examples of what they
have written about?  Is this something you think is appropriate?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Most definitely.  You want to add credibility to your site
and to what you are saying.  If you do your research, which I imagine that
Liz has done a great deal already, is that you already know that many
eminent individuals see the future as bleak and black, and that there is
for many people no answer to it.  If you look at material sustainability,
this gives people a ray of hope that there are solutions that are
applicable to overcome the problem.  And even in the difficulty of material
sustainability and the presence of global warming, rise of the oceans,
etc., etc., that these problems will not be overcome even by these
sustainable solutions, but eventually they will be overcome and it will
take approximately two generations to make a significant difference in your
atmosphere and in the geo-physical environment of your world.



This parallel gives you—you in general collectively, all of us—a way of
bridging the consciousness gap that exists for social issues, that there
was a total lack of consciousness of material sustainability and now on the
horizon there are very viable solutions that will generate positive
outcomes.  And when people begin to see the fragility of their social
environment and social institutions, and the disconnect of those systems,
they will come to an awareness or consciousness of the social problems that
exist at hand.  Rather than taking 25-30 years to develop consciousness of
the necessity of social sustainability, you will be able to make that gap
to begin that process easily within 5 years and to make significant inroads
into the global population before the cataclysms begin—or become fully
involved.



*What will the world look like two generations from now?*



*Stéphane:*  It seems so much of our societies in this generation are
dedicated to making a living and engaging with financial and social and are
driven by these people that own and govern these institutions which are not
aligned with the 7 core values.  I assume that after a couple of
generations of implementing the core values is that the world will have a
vision in mind as to what the world will look like; what kind of world do
we want to create?  We obviously will have a lot more time on our hands to
think about other things than sustaining ourselves financially.  Can you
give a picture, Machiventa, of what the world would look like if we started
in earnest within two generations from now?  What could the world look like?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, most certainly.  Thank you for preparing this for what
I have to say.  By the time two generations have passed there will be less
than half of the existing world population remaining.  This population will
be mostly young, and they will have seen the necessity of interconnected
systems.  And so, when you see a community meeting, you will see maybe 100
people who will be guided to divide themselves into “communities.”  Not
necessarily geographic communities, but communities of like-thinking, of
like-systems and that they will meet among themselves and discuss how their
one system is connected to another system and how they can improve that
connectedness with the values in mind to guide the results of their
system’s development.  This will develop within each community group or
team, and then as is usual, [through] group dynamics and workshop dynamics
they will be called to present their findings and what they have done, and
then they will be called upon to seek partnership with other dissimilar
systems to see how they might evolve their own interconnected systems.



Everyone will have the fundamental understanding that there is no atomistic
 independent, go it alone attitudes that will be self-sustaining, that
there is a mutuality of connectedness that seeks to find the commonalities
of all systems so that everyone becomes connected.  The interdependence
will be accepted as inevitable and necessary and mutual, rather than a
means for others to compete and prey upon their vulnerabilities.  What will
be sought after is that individuals will see in these groups that they are
vulnerable and they seek the wisdom of others to overcome their
vulnerability which can become eventually fatal if it is not overcome.  And
when a system becomes fatal, then it is no longer a part of the larger
system and the system has lost a necessary partner in its mutuality.



This is about as pragmatic as I can present it today, that I speak in terms
of systems, but it can also occur within small geographic communities that
individuals will see that they have certain skills, others have different
skills and so on, and so they seek to help each other’s sustainability,
their survivability, their ease of existence.  If someone is without
electricity in a particular room, then the quality of their life is less
than it could be if someone who had electrical experience could assist them
in doing so.  The only obligation would be to pay for the materials
necessary to make that improvement.  Other individuals may not know how to
cook, and so there would be a community cooking school for very basic
things—we are not talking about cuisine, we are talking about fundamentals
of how to feed your children a viable breakfast to last them until lunch or
even into the afternoon.  So your question is vital to the future and to
the process of “becoming.”  It is one thing “to be” but it is another thing
“to become,” and it is necessary for your societies now to engage in this
new consciousness to become something different, something that is
sustainable.



*Craig:*  I was thinking probably approaching the same thing from a
different point of view.  Machiventa, you said that today most people are
not engaged in any meaningful way in reaching out and improving the world.  I’m
sure that people are always mostly well meaning, but I guess we are really
centered as everyone is saying on making a living and personal things.  In
the future we will be much more able to spend time going to those sorts of
meetings where things are talked about and developed.  I guess it’s hard to
proceed along those lines while most people are engaged in self-sustaining
and self-maintenance.  Any comments on that?



*Everything now is monetized*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, you overlooked one aspect in your comment about
scenarios and that is as you now see your world everything has become
monetized, that everything has been equated to a financial value.  And even
individuals who work for a non-profit their services are monetized and they
are seen as expenses as [they] are in commercial companies and to decrease
expenses and increase profits.  This and people’s whole lives have been
monetized and have been focused on money, making money, earning money.  In
the future when the cataclysms become more and more fully involved, much as
a house fire becomes involved, the focus will not be on money, but it will
simply be on survival; survival in this moment, survival tomorrow and
continued survival into the future which is existence, and then continued
existence.  Money will take its rightful backseat to other imperatives in
individuals and families lives.



*What is transposed for money in the future*



What is transposed for money is another issue and it will become something
that will be a combination of money, barter, exchange, services and so
on.  Most
of all what will happen is the decrease in the highly elevated expectations
for monetary existence.  A modest home now is less than 1,000 sq. ft.; a
reasonable home for a family is less than 3,000 sq. ft. and often between
2,000 – 2,500 sq. ft.  If this was the modicum or the standard for housing,
with houses in excess of 5,000 sq. ft. becoming almost uninhabitable then
this would change dramatically.  And rather than buying a $100,000 car, or
a $150,000 car as your family sedan, you would be willing to accept a
$35,000 family sedan; your lives would change dramatically—even today,
particularly today.



It is not necessarily a standard of living that is based on more, or
bigger, or many, but rather on what is necessary to live reasonably with a
good quality of life.  A good quality of life is not associated with larger
houses; it is not associated with expensive automobiles or clothes, or
vacations, etc.  With the huge shift in your societal value systems and
what is important through the cataclysms, these elevated standards of
living will become unrecognizable and unnecessary, and some people will be
despised as they are by some who are very poor.  All that is necessary to
evolve socially as an individual and as a civilization is a reasonable
quality of life in your personal living situation, your family situation
and in your community.



*The decrease and elimination of crime*



With the decrease in money, crime will decrease and crime will become much
more pinpointed and your resolve to eliminate crime will be a major factor
in the shift of culture and in your scenarios.  The abuse of individuals
through loss of life and physical assault, and through financial
machinations will be gone and necessarily so because they not only do not
maintain quality of life, but they are in fact, detrimental to the quality
of life of individuals and to your society as a whole.



*A hope for better days ahead*



Thank you for today’s opportunity to speak with you.  I leave you with
these thoughtful messages; they are not necessarily comforting, but we do
offer you the hope that there will be better days ahead after you go
through this difficult time.  This is Machiventa saying, “We love you, we
care for you and we support you and we engage you as often as you can in
our co-creative efforts.  Good day.”
