*Machiventa: *Good morning. This is Machiventa Melchizedek, your 
planetary manager. It is a good day here on Urantia from the morontial 
side. We are so much aware of your world, its difficulties, the 
immensity of its transitions now, and the immense and profound potential 
of its development. This is why we are so intimately connected to all 
efforts to enhance social stability, peace, economic and governmental 
stability all over the world.

As we have covered significant ground since our last meeting, I am open 
for questions concerning the session last time or any other questions 
that may be remaining.

*A modest proposal*

*Rick:*I had a question from last session. You’ve asked us to put 
ourselves in the position of being the planetary manager.

As planetary manager, my first decision is, starting immediately, that 
all human beings would be required to be qualified before being allowed 
to have children. All qualified adults would receive the antidote which 
allows them to activate their sperm or eggs to procreate. Individual 
sexual activity would remain unaffected – only the ability to procreate. 
To be qualified each person must meet the following 5 requirements:

1)The ability to financially support a child

2)The emotional maturity to successfully raise a child

3)The mental stability to protect, mentor, and guide a child

4)An I.Q. of 100 or above

5)No felonious convictions

*MM:*And your question is?

*Rick:*You asked us to put together a statement as planetary manager and 
that’s my first statement. So, my question to you would be: How’s /that/?

*Jeff: *I’ll second that motion of five requirements.

*MM: *On behalf of being a human [From the human perspective], I would 
totally agree with your analysis, and your requirements. These are 
rational, reasonable, and the content that is necessary to initiate a 
sustainable society, nation, and civilization. As a spiritual planetary 
manager, however, the first part of your statement – the requirement – 
is something that we cannot abide by or emplace. I thank you for making 
the distinction apparent to me and to my team about the difference 
between a human/mortal planetary manager and the spiritual planetary 
manager of Urantia. There is a vast difference.

There are many comments that could be made concerning your statement and 
your requirements, though I will let those pass at the moment. 
Hopefully, there will be questions to embrace the other consequences of 
making such a decision as a planetary manager.

*Criminal courts and social courts*

*Liz:*Machiventa, one of the members of our Urantia Book study group had 
an interesting vision. We currently have criminal courts for those who 
defy the rules of society, and then they are sentenced to a punishment – 
usually jail. His vision was instead of criminal courts we implement 
/social/ courts - where those who violate the rules of society would be 
assigned a counselor to teach them values, and how to be a productive 
member of society. Is this a valid vision for the future?

*MM: *No, it is not. First of all, it is a naïve perspective concerning 
those people who are deviant in nature. They are damaged individuals and 
they consciously choose to injure others in your society, injure social 
institutions, and so on. It is a thought, though, that this is a place 
to begin a more thoughtful discussion about designing a “criminal 
justice” system. A social adjudication process would necessarily use the 
seven values of social sustainability and the subsequent morality and 
ethics code that was developed from those values.

*Functional, long term reform of social institutions*

You must also examine the intention. What is the intention of a criminal 
justice system – whether it is a punitive criminal justice court, or a 
social tribunal or judicial system? What is the intention? This is the 
overriding important consideration. Stepping one step farther back, you 
must examine the justice system as a social institution among many 
social institutions. In this remediation of the social structure to be 
the framework for the existence and development of a functional society, 
you must examine and state what your vision is for a society, a nation, 
or a global civilization, though that vision could include the present, 
10 years, 100 years, or 500 years from now. Therefore, that would guide 
the intention of the remediation or transformation of currently 
dysfunctional social institutions to become functional - something so 
that their design contributes to the stability of society in the long 
term – long term meaning two centuries and more. Further, you would want 
to look at the missions. What are the missions of a social judicial 
system? These would be complemental to the intention and to the vision. 
And then further, the objectives would be what would these courts 
actually do?

One of the first things you notice in my statement is that I commented 
that such a program is naïve. To remove this naiveté would require 
someone, a designer or team of designers, to enter into the current 
criminal justice system and see how those who are arrested are treated, 
arraigned, tried, convicted, and sentenced, and what happens after that. 
You would also want to take the other side of this too. You would also 
want to participate in observing the actions of a victims advocate 
system or office that is oftentimes contained within a district 
attorney’s office. This is extremely important to understand the 
humanitarian process of being a victim and the inhumane treatment many 
victims receive. This is as important, or more so, than the treatment of 
the offender, and the humane way they are treated and the inhumane way 
they are treated. Anyone who examines this system from both sides, and 
also within the system of justice itself, will realize there is 
something terribly amiss, and out of step, and out of concert with the 
whole need of growth, development, and evolution of a society as a 
nation, and as a nation among others in a civilization. Such a 
counseling position would see all of this very clearly. They would have 
a broad arc of vision from the beginning to the end of the system, its 
dysfunctions, and the need for redesign to transform those systems.

It seems obvious too, to us, as it hopefully does to you, to ask, “Where 
did this offender come from? From what situation did this individual 
develop? How did it happen that this individual became an offender of 
laws, who violated the mores, standards, morality, and ethics of the 
society, and now is at the receiving end of punishment?” You will find 
that it originates in the family; that there is something amiss in the 
original and most important social institution of any society, and that 
is the family. A counselor who has this vision and view would see that 
the aftermath of the adult offender is at the point of trying to fix, or 
repair, or remediate the injuries of the childhood and the growing up. 
This is virtually impossible without the total agreement, and 
/consistent/ agreement of the offender. Thank you for your question and 
your statement.

*Liz: *So then, working backward from the system to the offender to the 
family then we begin to enter into Rick’s vision of educating the family 
so that they make those important decisions on their own rather than 
legislating his five requirements for childbearing. Is my understanding 
correct?

*Punishment as deterrent*

*MM:*Exactly so. You cannot legislate morality or ethics. Five thousand 
years of punishment has proven that punishment is not a deterrent to 
immoral or unethical behavior. You will find too, as the counselor would 
soon know, that what is needed at the family level is that the family 
have an awareness of this arc that I just described and which you asked 
to receive, that the beginning of it begins in the family and that 
/then/ the counseling should begin to assist those individuals who are 
sexually active or capable of sexual activity to understand the 
necessity of population management – /voluntary/ population management. 
It is important that individuals are educated, trained, and instructed 
in how to practice personal population management on their own and in 
couple relationships.

*Issues at the end of mortal life*

*Liz:*Yes, thank you. I have a couple of other questions that are not 
related. One is, when a mortal is nearing the end of their earthly 
career and is in pain, there are things that one can do to hasten their 
departure. Is taking this action something that one would regret upon 
arrival at their next station?

*MM: *For whom do you speak, the person with the illness, or the 
individual who helped them crossover?

*Liz:*The person with the illness.

*MM:*Our experience has been that individuals who understand this 
mortal, morontial, existential crisis and crux – literally crux – that 
they would withhold themselves from further medical treatment. That the 
natural processes of the illness will bring about the closure of their 
life. The exception to this is when the individual is in extreme pain – 
pain to the extent that they are no longer capable of making rational 
decisions - even to whether they need to eat dinner or not. In this case 
then, there is the allowance for an individual to make that decision as 
it is highly probable that at that time the Thought Adjuster has already 
made its exit. The difficulty in ascertaining this situation with the 
Thought Adjuster is that most mortals are unaware of the presence of the 
Thought Adjuster and when the Thought Adjuster leaves. It is usual that 
when a Thought Adjuster leaves, the person is so immoral, so unethical, 
so evil in their lifestyle that they do not care about talking with the 
God presence within them or ascertaining what its opinion /is/. On the 
other hand, a person who is in extreme illness, extreme pain, is also 
usually at the same state of existence where they are unaware to be able 
to make that decision on their own. It is a frightening situation for us 
to view individuals in this desperate, crucial era of their life’s end. 
It is something that we do not interfere with or enter into on our own.

We, however, are aware of when a Thought Adjuster has exited as that 
light goes out within the individual mortal. It is that time when the 
guardian angel and the soul content is available for dispatch to the 
mansion worlds – the resurrection hall. The body continues to live on. 
This is a very ambiguous, anomalous situation for mortals as so much of 
that era of the transition from life to death and crossing over is not 
known. We are making efforts to educate mortals in this realm of 
awareness, particularly clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and so 
on, who understand regression therapy and forward progression therapy 
for individuals. This must occur before the individual enters into that 
state of incapability of making a decision. As you see, the thread of 
this logic begins to fade away and there are many disconnects to 
continue.There are mortals, however, who are aware of the God presence 
within others who can be of assistance. These have not been accepted in 
a legitimate position or role in the hospice situation, though there are 
individuals who understand that occurrence and do see/feel/sense the 
Thought Adjuster present or absent. I perhaps have gone far past the 
extent of your question and the situation, though it is necessary to 
assist you and many others to understand this precarious situation that 
mortals enter into as they approach the death situation. Thank you for 
your question.

*A podcast of these transcripts*

*Liz:*Thank you for your answer. There is much there for me to consider. 
My other question is again far afield. I’m a fan of podcasts and I try 
to find Urantia-based or spiritually-based podcasts to listen to. I’m 
wondering if it would be worth our time to begin reading these 
transcripts into a podcast for distribution.

*MM:*One moment, I will collaborate with my team. This is a recurring 
theme and topic that we finally need to address. And the answer, at 
least partial answer that we have at this time, is that it would be most 
helpful to select a topic that you could address in less than twenty 
minutes and address it with excerpts from transmissions - transmissions 
that are consistent (at least not in disagreement) with the Urantia Book 
as a reference. Do you understand?

*Liz: *I do.

*MM:*Then we invite you to proceed.

*Liz:*Thank you very much. I shall.

*James:*If no one else has a question, I have quite a few from readers.

*Political lessons from cataclysm*

1)What key thoughts or lessons can you provide future readers about the 
pitfalls of the current Western (esp. the U.S. and the U.K.) political 
climate, structure, and governance that should be avoided during the 
post-cataclysmic re-design and rebuilding of society?

*MM: *Thank you for your question. The most important feature of a 
redesigned democratic process is that it become a learning process. 
Rather, it become a learning system. Your current democratic processes 
within almost all democratic nations are linear in nature. They are 
linear processes, not systems. They have a logic to them that is 
eventually self-defeating. The learning process must be eventual, it 
must be accepted as eventual, and that political evolution of the 
democratic process is beneficial to present and future generations - not 
/radicalized/ by democratic processes, but a normalized process that 
fits nicely with historic processes. These new processes would, in fact, 
be upgrades or updates to the old democratic process. If you see 
democracy as a written computer program of code, you would see that it 
is non-intuitive. You would see that it is incapable of learning from 
its mistakes. It does not even keep wisdom from former mistakes. It does 
not have a system now to recall similar situations and wisdom from the 
past that are applicable to current problems. This is the gravest error 
of contemporary democratic nations and processes. Any new, evolved 
democratic process must be designed as a learning system.

2)What do you or your Vorondadek colleagues (Most Highs) estimate will 
be the impact/contribution of Brexit to the cascade of factors that will 
catalyze the coming cataclysms?

*MM:*On behalf of the Most Highs, we have discussed this before, and 
your estimation of the situation is fairly accurate.

*Current political challenges as a lesson of history: All have failed! *

*Not rooted in the seven core values*

3)Are there any ways in which the current socio-political climate and 
challenges within the U.S. serve the goals of the Correcting Time? If 
so, how?

*MM: *Most assuredly – as a lesson of history. Examination of the 
thirty-thousand-year history of human organized social existence will 
reveal that there have been no administrations, no governments, no 
empires, no nations, no civilizations, or cultures that have not failed. 
They have all /failed/. Do you understand? They have all /failed./ And 
that the morality that was developed four thousand years ago for western 
civilization and now extends to the world civilization is also 
unworkable. It is not workable because it is not based on the unique 
values in humans. It is not organic to whom people are. The democratic 
process that exists in democracies now is also untenable. It is 
non-intuitive, it is not insightful, it does not learn from its 
mistakes, as I’ve said before.

The greatest, /greatest/ necessity to prevent the collapse of western 
civilization and all its democracies, is the awareness, the conscious 
awareness, that organizations fail. They have always failed and they 
will continue to fail, primarily because they were established from 
artificial missions, ideals, and visions. Some even lack visions of what 
the nation would become. They also lack an overriding intention for the 
establishment of that democracy, that nation. And further, that there is 
not an overriding guiding operational philosophy for the development and 
practice of democratic processes within those nations. As you are 
seeing, organizational development is critical to the establishment of 
sustainable societies and democracies. It is /critically/ important that 
all these factors be examined and designed into the organization of a 
democratic nation. Again, I say, it is the awareness that /all/ have 
failed, and the awareness that /this/ nation and all the other 
democracies will fail as well if they do not change and do not evolve.

*Collapse of financial systems*

4)Do you anticipate the imminent collapse of Wall Street and the world 
banking system as part of the cascade of troubles?

*MM: *This too has been an ongoing topic of discussion among ourselves 
with those from the Most Highs and from Salvington. No, it will not 
collapse; however, it will be deeply injured and incapable of 
functioning as it did before. It, too, is a manifestation of egoistic 
greed for positions of authority, control, and power, and that money is 
the means to assist in that acquisition, that dominance, and that 
control. It is a system that incites failure. The greed for money is a 
personal incitement for personal failure – personal unfulfillment. It is 
also critical that there is the awareness that the design of the 
economic system as it exists in democratic nations has reached its 
zenith and is now on a downward trend towards its decline and eventual 
disintegration and collapse. We, however, have other alternatives in 
mind for your economies. As those individuals who are in control and 
management of those financial institutions want to remain in control, 
and to continue to make a profit and dividends, they will seek almost 
any means to do so–even that which helps other people.

*Morontial among us*

5)In NET #79 you stated: “There are many on your world now who are in 
morontial form, but who are not visible to you.” Thus, I ask

(a) are all morontial personalities among us light bearers (i.e. aligned 
with Christ Michael)?

*MM:*Yes, you are correct. Those morontial beings who are here are of 
the light and in alignment with Christ Michael.

(b) Are some of them former Urantian humans?

*MM: *No comment, please.

6)How will the Correcting Time team “have a culture ready” for desperate 
millennials to accept (as proposed in NET #79.)

*MM: *This is material we have covered in earlier sessions, and that is 
through the preparation of the sharing of the values that sustain 
society. That sounds awfully glib to you I would imagine, yet it is a 
truism that will work. There will be individual millennials who will 
reject these new values and be cynical, and there will others who accept 
them and do their homework to see where these values and this new 
culture comes from, and how it is useful to them.

7)What can you reveal to us about technologies humanity can pursue that 
can rapidly and safely reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide to “healthy” 
levels for Urantia?

*MM:*This is a topic that is of great interest and discernment within 
the scientific communities of your nations, societies, and universities 
at this time. We do not have a further extension of wisdom to guide you 
at this time.

*Zero-point energy*

8)In NET #1 you mentioned the obstacle to eliminating reliance on 
carbon-based energy sources being the absence of zero-point technologies 
on Urantia. How can we procure celestial guidance/tips on developing 
zero-point energy?

*MM: *Those tips, those insights are already being provided. It is 
simply a matter of someone going “ah-ha” and connecting all the dots and 
devising a mechanism that will produce zero-point energy. As we have 
said in previous sessions, we have deliberately brought an interference 
to this dot-connection process so that zero-point energy comes online at 
a time when it complements the existence of new era societies.

*Mass migration and overpopulation*

9)In NET #78 you briefly mentioned the migration of people from Africa 
and the Middle East into Europe. What is the Celestial perspective on 
this development – i.e., what are the key opportunities and threats, and 
how should the receiving nations approach handling this?

*MM:*This was thoroughly discussed in a paper by This One (Daniel: 
entitled The Crisis With Immigration in Europe that Avalah Melchizedek 
and I wrote together.)

[ www.bigmacspeaks.life <http://www.bigmacspeaks.life> ]

*MM:*Your questions have been answered, perhaps not directly, but there 
are solutions available. This too is a most difficult situation on your 
planet. The planet, as we have said, is vastly overpopulated. There are 
no rational means of population management or educating people to 
participate in population management. There is insufficient food sources 
and arable land to support the population where the population 
reproduces rapidly. Thus, the migrations out of Africa and out of the 
Middle East and elsewhere is a problem that will continue until the 
population problem is resolved. As you are aware, the global 
desertification of arable lands is increasing – that arable lands are 
/decreasing/, that rainfall is an inhibiting factor to rational 
population expansion. Thus, you will see much starvation, 
malnourishment, and mental deformation or lack of mental capacity 
development as time goes by. There is no answer to this from us or from 
you. It is what it is. You will have to suffer with the rest of the people.

10)Are current tensions between the U.S. and Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon 
anticipated by your team, and what significance should we attach to 
these developments?

*MM:*We deliberately refrain from commenting on your question.

**

*Most Highs are pleased with…*

11)You stated, “The Most Highs are very pleased with the situation that 
is developing on Urantia in many regards, whereas others are less than 
desirable.” My question is: With which developing Urantia situations are 
the Most Highs very pleased?

*MM: *Those would include those efforts that are striving to resolve the 
problems that are existent on your planet. There are voluntary 
population management practices at the individual level. There are 
social programs by states and nations to assist in this process. There 
are widespread programs for the enhancement of the education of 
individuals, all individuals within a nation, and the cultural practices 
that are important to sustain the heritage and culture of the ethnic 
groups within those nations, as this is a stabilizing factor for peace. 
As you begin to examine this statement under a microscope, you will see 
that very few nations fit these criteria, and that the rest of the 
nations are in disarray. The difficulty of the future of those nations 
that are so wise in their conduct to assist the stability and gradual 
social evolution of their nation is that they will be inundated by those 
people who want to immigrate to those nations.

As you can see further from my statement that your world is in a 
tremendous state of instability. You are on the edge of global collapse 
though it is not apparent. Some areas are doing very well, some are 
stable, and some are not. You will see and it will be obvious to those 
who read these sessions that there will be a time and a circumstance for 
the development of an occurrence of an initiating factor that will 
initiate the cascade of these cataclysms. You have witnessed the two 
nations coming to the brink of war in the Middle East, between the 
United States and Iran, and this is a good development to occur. It is 
difficult for us to assist individuals who are belligerent, who truly 
want to be at war, who truly want to destroy the enemy. It requires 
wise, sagacious leaders who can see past the fraud of threats, and 
intentions to destroy the enemy, to know that, ultimately, people want 
to survive.

*Machiventa’s team*

*Rick: *I have two questions. The first is, earlier in today’s session, 
Machiventa, when you were asked a question, you stated: “Allow me to 
confer with my team.” I think I speak for all of us when I say: “Would 
you be kind enough to share with us who your team is?”

*MM:*Well, most certainly. I have at hand in my team… I have several 
echelons of team. The most intimate team is approximately nine 
individuals; these are Melchizedeks, we have one individual without Name 
or Number, archangels, and so on. We have record keepers, we have 
statisticians and actuaries in the background to assist in these 
answers. We do not like to state in certainties, but in probabilities, 
inasmuch as humans seem to interfere in those certainties.

*Request for Life Carrier participation*

*Rick:*My second question is, about six months ago, during one of our 
sessions, it was brought to our attention that one of the most important 
things we can do for our physical health is address our nerve health. 
That’s sort of an unknown area for us, I think. And so, we asked if a 
Life Carrier could come to one of our sessions to answer some of our 
questions about human health. And, as I recall, your response was: “Let 
me see.” So, I’m reiterating that request. Could we put it out there for 
a Life Carrier to join us in one of our upcoming sessions?

*MM: *Your request continues to be on the table on an agenda that is off 
the primary agenda, and the Life Carriers continue to say that they do 
not wish to participate at this time, or in the near future. They are of 
the mind that such information would be detrimental, and that it would 
be eventually be picked up by genetic manipulators to create an enhanced 
form of human that would innately or inherently have genetic flaws 
within it. The moral and ethical immaturity of your physical sciences – 
particularly human biosciences – is such that it is too hazardous to 
provide enhanced information concerning this topic at this time. They 
are of a mind that this is important information for humans to receive 
and that it will be used in a most efficacious way in the future when 
humans are able to respect their own genome in their lifestyles, their 
habits, and their intake. The Life Carriers are also humane and 
compassionate in your request. They understand the plight of people who 
are ill, and people who are well who want to enhance their capabilities 
and to express the development and personal evolution of their 
capabilities in their lives now. This is admirable, they appreciate 
that, and they are not without concern for your longings.

*Rick:*Thank you for your through and informative answer.

*Amazing lifeforms – especially dogs!*

*Liz: *I have a comment about the Life Carriers, Machiventa. This planet 
is so beautiful, and the diverse life forms are so amazing, I just have 
great appreciation for all that they’ve done, especially dogs. I mean, 
they really excelled when it comes to dogs, and I just want to express 
my amazement and heartfelt appreciation for the stellar design work that 
they’ve done on this planet. It hurts me to the quick with what we’ve 
done with their work. Please extend my appreciation.

*Human capacity for further evolution*

*MM: *Your appreciation has already been extended and received. They 
wish you to know, if you get the depth of this answer, is that what you 
see in the capability of the diversity of the dog family has come about 
through the potential within the existing gene structure of the dog 
family from many, many millennia ago. And, so too, you should take heart 
that humans also have a far more, but undeveloped, potential within 
their gene structure for the expression of immense more potential in 
individuals in the future. It is wonderful that dogs have caring and 
loving masters who want the dogs to learn language – to learn words and 
commands – and to learn obedience and understand the relationship of 
master and servant. We would wish this went on to humans that they would 
be so obedient to the leadings of their Thought Adjuster and the over 
care of their guardian angels.

*Liz:*Thank you.

*Thanks for Daniel and Sherille*

*Rick: *I would just like to say in closing, thank you. Thank you and 
Sherille so very, very much for the important commitment and dedication 
you’ve provided for the past 20 plus years.

*Daniel: *Thank you so much.

*The fabric of society depends on the moral person who comes from a 
family of love.*

*MM:*Let us enter into the closing now. As you know and feel in your 
hearts the tremendous despair that surrounds your whole planet, that 
there is a sense of disgust in the hearts and minds of those who know 
better and who would make better decisions. We see also that there is a 
reviling against those bad decisions, those injurious decisions by 
people that do not care for other people, the welfare of other people, 
their planet, or the flora and fauna of their world. We also see and 
sense that there is an eager and desperate yearning for the coming 
about, the development of the evolution of enlightenment. And I use 
“enlightenment” as a verb. That it is to become enlightened - to see the 
light, let it grow, and encourage it to grow. And so, we see, within 
this fragment of your global population, those individuals who will 
become the leaders, the philosophers, the lovers of humanity – those 
with deep empathy, compassion, and a love for humanity, with also the 
capability of a Melchizedek to thoughtfully assign value and boundaries 
to what can be done, and what /should/ be done. There is a morality and 
ethic to all of planetary management. It is insistent and imperative 
that individuals see themselves as guardians of this planet and also 
evolutionists of this planet. In order for this planet to be saved, your 
societies must evolve. Families must evolve to become functional, 
supportive, loving families, and also the organizational structure of 
your societies that are principally responsible for the social existence 
of your nations. You cannot build a sustainable nation without proper 
and right decisions of individuals, and individuals within 
organizations. The fabric of society depends on the moral person, who 
comes from a family of love. Thank you.

TUB - 71:3.1.

The political or administrative form of a government is of little 
consequence provided it affords the essentials of civil progress — 
/liberty, security, education, and social co-ordination. /It is not what 
a state is but what it /does /that determines the course of social 
evolution.  And after all, no state can transcend the moral values of 
its citizenry as exemplified in their chosen leaders.  Ignorance and 
selfishness will insure the downfall of even the highest type of government.
