Unique opportunity as planetary manager

*Machiventa: *It is a pleasure to be here. I enjoy this as an 
opportunity. This is an opportunity for a planetary manager that has not 
come along very often. Planetary managers who are in the flesh or 
incarnate, on the other hand, do have this opportunity. But for a planet 
that has come out of the quarantine – two hundred thousand years of 
darkness - and now to be engaged in ongoing conscious and intentional 
conversations between ourselves and material mortals is a phenomenon 
that is remarkable in /all/ regards, particularly for this correcting 
time program that Christ Michael has initiated. It is not that this has 
not occurred before, but this time it is co-creative – /highly/ 
co-creative. And it is a process by which we teach mortals how to live 
life conscientiously, peacefully – with social, political, and economic 
stability – that is of course the initiation into the Days of Light and 
Life.

If /you/ were planetary manager

I want to once again play, not a game, but I want to play “let’s 
imagined.” We played this with you approximately four or five years ago 
when we said we wish you to design a program that would be of benefit to 
people – very general. Now this time, after your training of the last 
two to three years as a prospective planetary manager, we wish you to 
imagine that you /are/ a planetary manager, that you have taken an oath 
of office with Christ Michael, and that you are committed to the program 
that he has set before you. And that program is to bring the world – 
/all/ the world – into the Days of Light and Life. The question that we 
have for you today, in this play which you imagine that you are a 
planetary manager, is this: What programs would you develop as a 
planetary manager that would include all of humanity? That’s the 
question.The comments are that you would have unlimited resources, 
particularly of people, particularly of celestial input, and that 
whatever else you needed would be provided to you. The second question 
is: Where would you begin? Would you begin with a particular race of 
people, a particular gender, culture, or ethnic group? Would you begin 
with some particular religion, political party, or some economic formula 
for the world? Where would you begin? How would you lead the world – all 
the human population – into understanding its role for future 
generations and settlement of this planet? I know that this is a huge, 
/very/ huge, program of the work that you will eventually share with us.

Step one: People and /not/ people

Now, let me lead you through this. Historically in our work with you we 
began with the basics. And now we want to go backwards, and we will do 
deductive reasoning. The first step that we used before was inductive, 
and so now we will start deductively. So, if you take the planet – this 
is */step one/* – you take the planet, what is the first step that you 
would undertake in this sequence of logic? The first step would be to 
determine to make the logical statement that on this planet there are 
just two things:those that are of /people,/ and those things that are 
/not/ of people. So, in other words, you have already divided the world 
into two categories. Now, you know, and we know, that these are not 
mutually exclusive, but that they are interdependent. For our concern 
about the Days of Light and Life, our primary concern is people – 
individuals – and their progress in their evolution as individuals and 
their personality, their soul growth, and as they evolve to become the 
morontial individuals whether here on earth or when they make their 
translation.

Step two: Commonality personhood, gender, and group identification

Now, of people – */step two/* – we will discuss this (and I have already 
given that to you): there are /people/. There are men, and there are 
women - two genders. And of those two genders they are of a race, they 
are of a culture, they are of an ethnicity, and they are of some social 
group, and so on. Now we change the tactic in this sequence just a bit. 
So, we have divided this down to people and their commonalities. The 
greatest commonality is that they are people. The second commonality is 
that there are two genders. The next commonality is that they belong to 
various groups that identify themselves as separate from other groups.

Commonality of decision making according to values

Now, in this next stage, we are seeking another /intuitive/, logical 
sequence step. That is, what behavior is common to all people? What is 
common to all people is that they decide – they create the future? 
Obviously, (it may not be obvious [to you], but it is obvious to us) 
that all people make decisions. Even children make decisions. And 
everyone who has a mind eventually makes decisions. What we are doing 
now is drilling down into the territory of logic to get to the point of 
those commonalities of all people. What are the commonalities of 
decision making? The commonality of all decision making is that all 
decisions are based on values. Values /always/ underline all decision 
making. There are no decisions that are made without values that underly 
those decisions. And herein, at this point, we have a great divide. The 
divide is between groups of people and their belief systems, and their 
value systems.They express these values in decisions that continue and 
maintain division rather than seeking commonalities that join groups 
together.

Need for a code of decision making oriented toward unity

Now, if you as a planetary manager had a universal, global training and 
education program that taught people about these values and how to use 
the values to underly all their decision making, believe it or not, 
you’d still have great division in the world. They would use these seven 
common values to underline their decisions that would maintain their 
division and separation from others. And so, in your thinking in this 
logic sequence, you say “/ah-ha! ah-ha!/” We need a code of decision 
making that is uniform across all humankind to assist people to make 
decisions that eliminate division and creates union and oneness. As an 
insight, you know, and we know, that these seven values are common to 
all people. And so, we would want a decision-making code that was common 
to all people and applicable to all people, and that the function for 
this code is to provide uniformity and commonality to all people. The 
insight of that is that we would be using those same values, because of 
their universal characteristics, to write a code of decision making. 
Now, as an aside, you would say: “Well, yes, I agree with that 
Machiventa that yes, there are matters that are common to all life. And 
so, we would want to have this code useful to maintain the life of 
people, and groups of people, /all/ people. And secondly, we also know, 
as you know Machiventa, that this leads to relationships. Humans are 
social creatures and being social, we have relationships.”

Morality, ethics and the seven core values

As you can see from this discussion and this make-believe dialogue, we 
have gained great insight into the future. So, we have gone from a world 
of things that are of people, and things that are /not/ of people. And 
we have drilled down to the point where we need a code of conduct in 
relationships and in human life. As background, historically you know 
that most morality deals with life. It has been confused with ethics, 
and ethics has been confused with morality. But for the purposes of this 
discussion and our education of you and all people in the future, 
morality has to do with maintaining the lives of others - their physical 
life, their social life, their intrapersonal life, their interpersonal 
life, their /quality/ of life, and so on. And in this division, we have 
ethics. Ethics deals with the /ethical behavior /that/maintains 
relationships/. Right decision making that deals with maintaining good 
relationships - not hostile relationships, but /good/ relationships. And 
so, as we have shared with you before, your creator has created a 
wonderful process within you, within your genetic structure, that these 
seven values come in primary and secondary modes. The four primary 
values - to be redundant – are life, equality, growth, and quality of 
life. And the secondary values are empathy, compassion, and a 
generalized love for humanity.

The four primary values are not enough

You will see that the primary four values are used to sustain the 
species. And these are used to maintain your quality of life. They are 
fundamental to the growth of civilization, nations, societies, 
communities, and families. And these are what have promoted and brought 
your civilization, and societies, and nations to the present time. Yet, 
you see your world is in tremendous turmoil and difficulty. And that 
even your developed democracies are now deteriorating, and will soon 
decrease in effectiveness, disintegrate, and if that trend continues, 
they will collapse and disappear.

Three secondary values

All of the work we are doing is to assist your world to come into the 
Days of Light and Life. We are not necessarily involved or interested in 
your politics. However, we are definitely involved in the social 
structure of your world and the conduct of your social institutions from 
the family through the democratic process and including your newest 
social institution – that of media. This is where the three secondary 
values come into play. It is necessary that organizations begin to use 
not only the four primary values, but the/secondary values to sustain 
the organized social existence /of your nations and your association of 
nations, your societies, communities, and all social institutions and 
your families especially.

So the primary values are sufficient to sustain your species and to 
/initiate/ the progress and growth of your societies and nations, 
however they are insufficient to provide for the developmental progress 
of your social institutions and your organizations that support the 
continued existence of nations and association of nations, cities, 
states and so on. The three secondary values are primary to your 
humanness. You have been taught and know that your species is an 
aggressive animal that will destroy others to control the environment. 
You also know that your humanness includes your capability to be an 
ennobled being – one who expresses kindness to others and is benevolent. 
And in the infinite empathy of reaching out to others and sensing their 
situation, you, as a human, are compassionate enough to reach out 
/voluntarily/, /without/ coercion, to help others in their plight, or to 
share in their enjoyment of life. And so, in the greatest expanse of 
your humanness, using the three secondary values, you reach out in your 
great love for humanity, you project your consciousness of love and 
integration of wholeness and oneness to all the civilization of your world.

Were you to exercise these principles and recommendations in your 
lifetime, with the total dedication of your will to God’s will, and your 
subordination to do Christ Michael’s will for the development, 
construction and transformation of your world into a world that is 
settled in Light and Life, then you will have achieved the commitment I 
have made to Christ Michael.You would then, for all intents and 
purposes, as a /mortal/, become a planetary manager.

Christ Michael’s mandate and its /audacious/ implementation

Now, let us review the work of Christ Michael, myself, Most Highs, 
Monjoronson, and all those who are on the council for Urantia. Having 
received Christ Michael’s mandate, he asked us to come together as a 
team of individual groups, individuals as leaders and executives, in 
groups of subordinates with their executives, to develop a plan that 
would correct the faults that came about through the rebellion and the 
default of your former planetary manager. Remarkably, delightfully, and 
enthusiastically, these individuals developed what is known as the 
“correcting plan.” An auspicious, incredible, even /audacious/ plan that 
included the participation of mortals in the co-creative transformation 
of this world. When this was first proposed, and before it was accepted 
by Christ Michael, (chuckles) many throughout Nebadon, Orvonton and 
Uversa were agog. They were what English people called gob-smacked. In 
other words, they couldn’t say a word and they put their hand over their 
mouth and were agasp at what they were reading and what they were 
hearing. And they too began to discuss this. And they discussed it in 
parameters that not only included the planets that were recovering from 
/quarantine/, also Nebadon, and all sectors of Nebadon, all 
constellations of Nebadon, and how it would repercuss in Orvonton, each 
of the seven great universes, and even in Havona, and in Paradise. Well, 
my mortal friends, it took centuries for the eventual decision and 
uniformity of decision making and commitment to reach the point where 
the vast, vast, vast majority of individuals throughout the whole realm 
of the Grand Universe agreed that this was a most audacious project – 
one that would have incredible, outstanding, astounding, and profound 
repercussions and results for God the Supreme, and for the progress of 
all Creator Son’s local universes to engage other future, probable 
rebellions.

Implementation of plan now underway

Now, stand back from what I just said in the first part and the second 
part. Stand /way /back. Give yourself some distance from this. Because, 
when you grasp your position now, all those who are committed to the 
teaching mission, magisterial mission, and to the Urantia Book, that 
this is not a possibility, but a /probability. /And, in fact, it is now 
ongoing. This program of the correcting time has been /engaged/. It has 
evolved. It is developing. It is a program that will eventually 
transform the worlds in rebellion into worlds that are one with the 
progressive, spiritually aligned planets of all Nebadon.

You are part of this at ground zero

And /you/, my friends, are /here/ at ground level - ground zero – of the 
light that will encompass you for the rest of your life and all your 
progress through the eventuality to when you become a Finaliter. You are 
totally integrated into this program to the extent that you are 
committed to it. And commitment means accepting and using those values 
of love, oneness, humanity – you know, the /big/ values that Christ 
Michael would give you if he were speaking to you now. Plus the human 
values that are necessary to sustain your species and the values that 
are necessary to sustain peace on your world.

Correcting Time as your opportunity

Now, for some of you this is overwhelming. It’s time to lay down, take a 
nap, and think about this. That would be good advice. It is not so much 
a burden to you, or a responsibility you assume, but that this is an 
/opp-or-tun-i-ty/ for you to take on and assume (meaning take on) the 
accountability to participate. Remember the actions are yours, the 
consequences are the Father’s. You, however, will always be accountable 
for your actions. What would you choose? Would you choose personal joy 
and enlightenment, a purpose, and enduring, infinite meaning in life? Or 
would you cast that aside and let things fall as they will, and see what 
happens, and decide later. Either case is you are accountable to make a 
decision. And failing to make a decision is, in fact, a decision.

Well, this is not Machiventa Melchizedek talking to you like a stern 
father, a stern mentor, councilor, or advisor, but one who wants to 
present you with an enticing opportunity that will last for the infinity 
of your spiritual life. Thank you.

I am open for questions regarding this and also other questions that you 
may have generated over the days and weeks since our last session and 
even before.

Transforming social institutions and becoming

*Liz:*Good morning Machiventa. A couple of things came up for me while 
you were presenting this to us this morning. One is that humans seem to 
like these lists – seven core values, twelve steps of Alcoholics 
Anonymous, ten commandments – and so, it seems that once this is 
presented on a grand scale it should be something that humans would be 
willing to adopt. They’re quite different of course from the ten 
commandments. The ten commandments have had many years of public 
relations behind them, and perhaps that’s what the seven core values 
needs is a public relations promotion.

*MM:*Is that a question?

*Liz:*Yes, am I correct?

*MM:*(Chuckles) Yes, you’re correct Liz, it is a question. And here’s 
the answer: All the things that you mentioned are lists except for 
Alcoholics Anonymous. The way to engage people into accepting these 
values and this oneness is to engage it as a process. It is important 
that people learn the /process/ of becoming human – /fully /human - 
based on the seven core values and the ethics and morality that emanate 
from those values. Therefore, it must be a program of education - 
pragmatic experiential training - to learn how to work this process for 
their benefit. We have learned from observing human nature since the 
beginnings of pre-humanoid individuals that there is not much convincing 
individuals - even in the 21^st century, in any nation - of what they 
ought to do, or giving them a list and saying: “Here, now do it!” That 
is a recipe, for failure. Those who know, those who learn teach. 
Therefore, we are your teachers, we are your mentors, we are your 
guides, we are your individuals who give you insight in how to develop 
these processes. Eventually you will learn that each social institution 
(family, education, healthcare, political structure, religion, finance) 
you will /learn,/ eventually, that, in order to transform your nations 
and your societies, that you will need to transform each social 
institution.

Therefore, each social institution will have a program, a recipe, a 
developmental process, where you do this and do that, you add this, and 
you add that, and you end up with a transformed social institution. You 
know, and we know, that there will be staunch resistance to any 
persuasive language that we or you could make in [public relations] to 
convince the resistant populations into accepting this process, these 
values, these ethics, and this morality. And that’s where you find the 
divide between those who become, and those who don’t. To be-come is to 
be and come into your fullness of your personality, your soul growth as 
an individual, as a family, and as a society. Becoming is a process. 
Therefore, when you engage the transformation of social institutions you 
will see this as a process of becoming – becoming whole, becoming 
complete, becoming operationally, socially, politically, and 
economically /functional/, so that the policies assist others. You might 
say to yourself: “Ahha! Machiventa, this creates a divide.” Well, my 
friends, you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere. It is not that 
we are against anyone – surely not! The old dictum of “You’re either for 
me or against me” is false, it is abhorrent, it is destructive, and it 
causes separation in itself. But when you present your programs - your 
processes of becoming - for transforming of social institutions you 
include /everyone/. And it is their choice to come along or not. As we 
say, we are not against anyone, we are for /everyone,/ and we are for 
their happiness, their fulfillment, their contentment, and that involves 
lifestyle, standard of living, and quality of life - from the individual 
and the family, to communities, and the whole civilization. That’s our 
policy, and we’re sticking to it.

Start with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?

*Liz:*Well, thank you for that answer. When you began challenging us 
with where we would start and if we were managers of this planet and 
what we would do, I immediately went to the idea of Maslow’s hierarchy, 
and realized that there are many people on this planet who are busy 
scrambling and scraping everyday just to exist. In my understanding I am 
privileged, so, I only know what I know from reading and newscasts that 
there are many in poverty and they have hardly any quality of life at 
/all/. It seems like that would be the place to begin. Would it not?

*MM:*I’m not going to disagree with you. It is /a/ place to begin, but I 
would ask you this question: Are there any programs that are now trying 
to assuage that problem?

*Liz:*Yes.

*MM:*And how is that working out for you?

*Liz:*Not well.

*MM:*And why is that?

*Liz:*Because I think that there coming at it from the wrong direction. 
One of the programs that I am familiar with loans people in Africa, for 
example, loans them money. Well I don’t think putting them in debt is 
the first step. And yet, these people who are loaning them money to 
start their businesses, or to buy a cow, or whatever, they think they 
are doing the right thing, and for a while /I/ thought they were doing 
the right thing, and now I think they are off base.

*MM:*So, I’ll ask you again. How’s that working out?

*Liz:*Yeah, I don’t think it’s going well.

*MM:*So, can you answer your own question then? You asked me, “Is the 
place to start with observing Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and satisfying 
the needs of people?”

*Liz:*Well, I still think perhaps yes. But, coming from a position of 
the three secondary values instead of just trying to raise their 
standard of living…I don’t know. You just presented this to me a few 
minutes ago. I haven’t had a chance to take a nap and think about it.

Programs must benefit the individual /and/ bring world toward oneness

*MM:*I was trying to have you work yourself into a hole. Not to be mean, 
but to help you understand your logic and your reasoning as being 
faulty. Remember, you are a planetary manager in this scenario. And it’s 
your responsibility in the /end/, that the end that approaches the times 
of the Days of Light and Life where /individuals/ are capable of making 
decisions for their own good or not. That ultimately, you are 
responsible, in /all/ your programs, that this benefit the individual as 
a growing soul to become more mature, and more complete upon their 
graduation from mortality. That gives them entrance as a capable 
candidate for the morontial schools as the first step of their morontial 
career. That is the primary mission of /all/ the correcting time. Of 
/all /that Christ Michael has /ever/ been involved in - in his mortal 
incarnate mission and for all time. The proviso that /I/ had to buy into 
was that, in order to do that, we must bring the whole world - as a 
collective of /nations/ and disparate societies, political groups, 
races, and ethnicities - into accepting the oneness that is common to 
all people.

*MMc:*What you are saying is: You can’t do this with one small 
population. You have to do it with /everybody/.

Programs to be all inclusive by design

*MM:*Correct. You may /start/ with one population, but the programs must 
be designed at their very earliest initiation to include all of 
humanity. Let me give you a very graphic and painful parallel to your 
work as a planetary manager. In this parallel you are general Macarthur. 
You have just had your pants beaten off by the Japanese. You have waded 
off into a boat leaving the Philippines on their own and to the 
machinations of the invading people, and you must devise a plan that 
would /eventually /sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers 
from many nations to accomplish the goal of capturing /that/ island, 
nearby islands, /all/ the islands, and then forcing the dominant nation 
– the aggressor – to submit to your control and to live in peace.

Acting for benefit of all humanity /and/ each individual

Now, in this parallel, remember, you are a planetary manager. Though you 
have - under the name, and in the name, and on behalf of, and /in/ 
behalf of Christ Michael - in your station as planetary manager the 
capability to completely transform whole societies in the blink of an 
eye, would you? That is a fundamental question. Would you do so? Would 
you deny the Grand Universe the privilege of understanding the concept 
of co-creative transformation? Would you be willing to engage this 
program knowing that you cannot address every need, or even a /single/ 
need of a day’s worth of food for every individual on this planet. That 
is a spiritually existential question. Where would your ego leave off 
for you to become a planetary manager and a Creator Son in your own 
right in this small realm? I have not presented this very difficult 
presentation to you to beat you about the ears, or to scold you, or to 
pain you in any way. I am striving to teach you how to think, how to 
speak, how to design, and how to act for the benefit of all humanity. Of 
course, we are primarily concerned about /you/, the individual. You, 
Liz, and everyone else who reads this transcript, everyone who ever 
/hears/ this transcript, and everyone who is ever born on this planet, 
we are concerned about you individually.

Difficulties of Correcting Time and a grand opportunity

Now, what I have done – painfully done – with you is to present you with 
the difficulties of the Correcting Time. The difficulties at a 
/personal/ level are the same difficulties that I live with, my 
consulting team lives with, the Most Highs live with, and all others. As 
you know, you’re multiple God-centered religions have presented the fact 
of God worldwide. There is probably no one on earth, or very few on 
earth, on this planet who have not heard of God, and who have either 
disregarded the message, who have engaged the message, or /denied/ the 
message, or absented themselves from any commitment. This was the first 
part of the Correcting Time that began so long ago beginning with 
Abraham and the teachings he had, and others had before him from the 
time of the Melchizedek. It is a choice to go out and strike your 
neighbor, take his wife and his children and turn them into slaves, and 
to harvest his crops or not. That is still going on today. What we are 
doing through this painful presentation is giving you an appreciation of 
the largesse of Christ Michael and the Correcting Time of your 
spiritually moral responsibilities to assist us in this project. This is 
not a message of joy, but, my friends, this is a message of /grand/, 
*/grand/*, /profound,/ personal opportunity. If you engage this from 
that perspective, you can see the joy you will have from understanding 
the message and the work that is at hand. And the work that is at hand 
is close to coming to fruition. We have teased you, we have taunted you, 
we have given you tidbits of what is to come and that time is drawing to 
a close. It is now time for action on your part, and time for action on 
our part, and when you see this it will be self-revealed to you what 
this is all about.

Little boys with sticks

*Liz:*I think that one of the things that we in this group, and those of 
us who read this transcript, the advantage that we have (and those who 
read the Urantia Book) is a grander vision. We have a cosmic idea of who 
we are and where we’re going, and what it’s all about that most of 
humanity does not have. There was a book written a long time ago called 
_Lord of the Flies_ about a group of children marooned on an island and 
they had their own government and their own wars and, as readers, you 
got so caught up in their society that you forget they’re just little 
boys with sticks. And this last week I thought of our congress as just 
that - so wrapped up in what they are doing they are completely blind to 
the larger picture - they’re just little boys with sticks. And I’m 
thinking what the world needs is a greater vision of who we are and what 
we’re about. Is there a way we can begin to accomplish that other than 
disseminating the Urantia Book?

Time for Urantia to realize the larger realm – a subtle approach

*MM:*Yes, peripherally. First of all, I wish to congratulate you, thank 
you so very much for your presentation about the cosmic point of view. 
And that you have a special view of the universe from the mortal 
perspective and what is to become. Secondly, you are correct about these 
august bodies of little boys with their sticks creating wars and 
creating friction between groups of individuals. Yes, there is a means 
of augmenting the work of disseminating the Urantia Book. And we so much 
admire, respect, and thank those who have been involved in that.

You have, unconsciously, alluded to a development that we have been 
working on Liz, and for those who are thinking along these lines. That 
yes, it is time for the Urantian civilization – people, individuals – 
[to] begin to /realize/ that there is a larger realm among them. That 
there is something that is ongoing which is enabling the continuation of 
your world. And that there are, in fact, celestial teachers, angels, 
Melchizedeks, archangels, and many others, unnamed, who are here on this 
planet who are here as part of the spiritual administration of Urantia. 
What begins that process is a spark, a curiosity, an awareness that, 
perhaps, we [mortals] are not alone. And I’m not referring to the 
presentation of extra-terrestrials and their spaceships, and so on. That 
has been done as well without any progress among mortals. But this must 
be subtle. It must /not/ be a smack in the back of the head to wake you 
up and say: “We’re here!” No, it must be subtle. It must be so subtle 
that the individual, without speaking to others, begins to realize to 
him or herself that we are here, and that “there are others here with 
us. And these are benevolent. They want the highest good for us. They 
want to lead us out of our closed mind thinking, our linear thinking. 
They want us to encompass the /magnitude/ of who we are and do so with 
them.” Your question alluded to this insight of what we are doing. And 
it is so subtle that many of you will be unaware of it until you turn 
around one day and say, “Oh, my gosh! They /are/ here. They /are/ 
active. I believe in God, I’ve read the Urantia Book, I’ve read these 
transcripts and, /they’re here! /I can see their footprints.” Yes, it 
will take that kind of subtlety to win the minds and souls of 
individuals across the world for us to do our work.

*Liz:*And so, what do we do to help you?

*MM:*You are doing it now. You are engaging us with meaningful questions 
on behalf of the audience that is growing ever larger. You are doing it 
for us. You are doing it for them. You are participating. You are 
projecting your consciousness of love and oneness onto the world, and in 
your individual efforts you are assisting others to know how to help 
themselves. Be of service where you can. Be of information where you are 
able. Be of sharing of a kind heart to the surprise of others.

*Liz:*Thank you for all of that. That was quite wonderful.

Functional social institutions

*MMc:*I am very interested in what you are having to say today. The 
question you put forward to us initially…. Let me run through some of my 
thinking and see if it equates somewhere here. First thing was that, in 
order to do what you are looking to do, you needed education. In the 
western educational system, it is basically geared to produce employees. 
It’s not here to induce higher thinking – basically you memorize a bunch 
of stuff and regurgitate it back at test time, and you’re supposed to 
learn your ABC’s to read and write and do arithmetic so that you make 
somebody a very good employee. But that lacks a great deal for those of 
us who would become thinkers. And so, for myself, I was completely out 
of college, about ten years out of college, before I turned around and 
went to medical school. And I didn’t do well in school - all the way 
through. We don’t ask questions. We’re put in positions where asking 
questions is a hinderance to the class, and so, we stop. But you will 
need to educate people, and when you talk about educating people, 
basically, the system that is in place now is archaic. Can we 
re-introduce your value system to young people in school and carry it 
all the way through? Would that be a way of starting?

*MM:*To truncate your presentation, go back to what I said some time ago 
this morning when I said it will be necessary to transform every social 
institution into one that is functional. That is the key. Now, as you 
know, the family is the primary social institution. Education is a 
secondary social institution as is healthcare, as is religion, as is the 
democratic process, etc., etc. Now, I just gave you some insight into 
how to transform them (those social institutions) when I said you would 
want to transform them into functional social institutions. In this 
regard, what is a functional social institution? And here is where we 
must use the illustration of the priorities of decision making to 
sustain a society that we developed with This One some years ago.



	


The first priority of all social institutions is to sustain the species. 
And there are other aspects of that as well. The secondary importance of 
a functional society is that it supports the sustainability, the 
functionality, of organized social existence. Now, when you take those 
two aspects into account, which are huge, and that will take at least 
two centuries to accomplish, you have begun to see our efforts. And as 
you and Liz have stated, you must first make people /aware/ of what the 
situation is. If people are unaware, they cannot develop options for 
choice making, they cannot do choice making, decision making, or action 
implementation. The first part is to make people aware.

What we have done is not working

Now, to go back to two sessions ago and last session we mentioned that 
sometimes we create problems that require individuals, and groups of 
individuals to make a conscious decision of which way they’re going to 
go in the future. And yes, we sometimes tie your shoestrings together so 
that when you stand up and try to walk you fall over. That is a perfect 
metaphor for the situation developed democratic nations today. Now, what 
is the insight that we want people to become /aware/ of concerning their 
political situation? The simple insight and awareness is this: This 
isn’t working, is it? Or the simple statement: This isn’t working. And 
that statement begs the question: What’s not working? And, as I 
explained before, the five steps of Kurt Wright in his book _Breaking 
the Rules,_ first of all, you want to become aware that your educational 
system isn’t working. And, in fact, you’re almost to the point where you 
are saying: “Really, this is not an educational /system/ at all. It’s 
actually just a /linear process/.” And then you’d say again: “This isn’t 
working” you would ask, “What are the resources we could use to improve 
this to make it a process? And what philosophical base should we use?” 
What is the intention of education, of /all/ education? whether it’s 
from diaper daycare to post-doctoral work. What is the function of 
education? I’ll leave you with that question. It may sound like a 
rhetorical question, and it is for this discussion, but it is a highly 
pragmatic question that /must/ be answered and /will/ be answered in 
order to [transform] your societies into sustainable societies. I know 
that some of you are wondering about this – thinking about this. You are 
going: “Oh, my gosh. This is connected to this, this is connected to 
that, that’s connected to this over here. It’s all integral,” but it’s 
not a process.” And so, the primary element that is missing from these 
linear systems is learning, learning from experience, learning from the 
experience that those linear processes not working, learning that it 
requires /humility/, deep /humility/ to say: “I don’t have the answer, 
we don’t have the answers. What we’ve done is not working. What do we 
do? Who can we call in to help us? Are there existent programs that may 
have some use to us?” And so, that’s a beginning. If organizations are 
not transformed into learning organizations, whether it is a small 
do-it-yourself sole proprietorship, a mega-corporation, a national 
government, or any other organization, your societies will fail, your 
democracies will fail, your civilization will fail. And we are here to 
help you prevent that. And yes, it may require somebody standing on the 
street corner saying: “The world is at end.” And hopefully someone will 
step up to you and say: “Please explain that.” And that’s where you begin.

You are the seed group

And so, my friends, everyone who is listening, everyone who is reading 
this with curious minds saying: “How do we do this?” We know that Christ 
Michael (Jesus) is our master. He was the ultimate exemplary individual 
for us in our life, our living, our families, and our personal lives. 
Now, how do we do this for our societies, for the sustainability of our 
social existence? That’s the beginning. It’s the beginning of being able 
to learn – to get over your ego, to get over your gender, to get over 
your age, to get over your beauty, to get over your ugliness, to get 
over yourself – and move on. It is to be fully human to help others help 
themselves. This is why we’re here, and you are the individuals who have 
given /us/ hope. You give us hope that we’re on the right track. You are 
the seed group to carry this forward. What you are yearning for is some 
august moment, some incredible change of direction in the winds of 
civilization to assist you to say what you want to say to everyone else.

[No reader-questions this week, as Daniel was quite drained of energy.]

Close of one era, dawn of a new

*MM:*this is Machiventa Melchizedek, your planetary manager. It is my 
pleasure and my opportunity to be with you today as I have been so many 
hundreds of times before, and in the decades, centuries, and millennia 
before. It is a pleasure to be here with you to share these words with 
you. Those of you who are global thinkers, those of you who started with 
the beginning arc of these discussions so many years ago and are present 
today, you’re going to see that arc and come to the realization that 
“hmmm, something’s changed. The content, context, and tenor of these 
discussions, these presentations, have changed tremendously.” That’s an 
insight. And what can you learn from that? You have your own intuition, 
your own insights, your own conjecture, and speculations about what this 
is all about. This is all about an era of your civilization and nations 
that is coming to a close. It is necessary that this ancient era /does/ 
come to a close. And, of course, as I’ve said, with the closing of an 
era a new era begins. And so, you who have been reading know that this 
is the New Era Transitions, and this gives way to a new era within that 
transition of what is to become.

Not despair, but hope

I do not apologize for being the presenter of this difficult message. It 
is necessary work. One that I do not joyously engage, but responsibly 
accept. It is one inherent, inseparable aspect, part of my role as 
planetary manager. And as always, we will not leave you in despair, but 
always leave you in hope that you come into the fulness of yourselves as 
individuals, as parents, as growing souls, ones who have the hope of 
engaging the morontial career fully apprised of what is to come and 
ready for the first school in your morontial career. You have our love, 
our appreciation, and our deep respect. Good Day.
