*Daniel: *Before we begin, I would appreciate it if, when you ask a 
question, you say “This is {State your name.} and my question is” or 
something like that. It’s nice to know the names of the individual who 
is speaking, unless you request to be anonymous. Thank you.

**

*Implementation has begun—a long approach*

**

*MM:*This is Machiventa Melchizedek. Thank you for your presence here 
today. The time of implementation has begun. We have announced that 
several times in the past, and we want to assure you that it is 
definitely a part of the landscape for this planet now. It is part of 
our long-term agenda for our work leading into the Correcting Time which 
continues. We are leading you into the eventual Days of Light and Life. 
It is important that you realize that this is a long approach. It is 
much like walking across the plains in Tanzania as you approach 
Kilimanjaro, and it takes a long time in the incline. It’s very gentle, 
and then it becomes steeper and steeper. Such is the incline that we are 
on for the implementation. You might say that you have landed on the 
Atlantic side of Africa and are walking your way through the continent 
to this time and this place.

*Changing the culture of Western civilization (democratic nations)*

We are now in the phase where we are working diligently to bring about 
those changes that you so desire. We have said before, and we reiterate, 
that when people become receptive for answers, they will be ready to 
receive them and implement the suggestions that come along. A good idea 
that benefits the breadth and depth of humanity will be seen by most 
people as beneficial to them personally. The particular emphasis now is 
upon approaching the transformation of your social institutions which 
includes the democratic process. For most of you, you are unaware of 
many of your social institutions. [They are] something that you accept 
and something that you are used to, but the democratic process is one 
that rubs you in the wrong way many times in many countries. It is one 
in which you sense that there is a vast inequality of the expression of 
political power and personal regard for you as an individual citizen 
within your nation. We oftentimes have said, as we spoke about the 
western civilization, [that] the western civilization includes and /is/ 
all democratic nations. Totalitarian nations, those that do not espouse 
the equality of humanity and of individual citizens, are not part of 
this culture. Our work now is to change the culture of western 
civilization—of democratic nations—such that those nations will begin to 
see the necessity of evolving into the next, higher stages of their 
social institutions. As we have reviewed your social institutions, which 
includes, of course, the family, education, healthcare, justice, the 
democratic process, and many others, you and we know that all of these 
institutions need to be transformed to become more effective—so that 
they are much more attuned to the lives of individuals and families.

*New video series—the evolution of democracies*

To the reluctance and reticence of This One, we are, perhaps, premature 
in announcing that we have begun a video series with him to indicate how 
social institutions must transform in order to sustain the context and 
content of your societies—your nations. This is a time now for thinking 
in terms of transitions in the evolution of your social institutions. It 
is important that you begin to accept the fact that your social 
institutions—your nations—are in transition, and the transition that we 
seek and we want to influence is the /evolution/ towards being more 
effective, towards recognizing the needs of individuals and their 
families to become the primary socializing and enculturating agencies of 
your societies. You now realize, hopefully, that in many ways your 
parliaments, your congresses, your executive branches are very, very 
similar—far more similar—than to the monarchies they left behind. That 
historic movement was evidence of the democratic process, and we see 
that will continue in the future for you. You will have this pointed out 
to you in these videos. What we are doing in these videos is 
educational. It is to teach you as individuals and your political and 
social groups how to help your societies evolve to become socially 
sustainable, politically sustainable, and economically sustainable. As 
you can see from the tragedies around you—socially, politically, and 
economically—your nations are not sustainable. The trajectory of your 
nations is on the same path as those that have failed during the last 
30,000 years. This will be the first time that anyone has attempted to 
build a sustainable civilization from the ground up. You may be shocked 
by that, but if you look at the history of your civilization and your 
democratic nations, none are founded on a logic that encompasses a 
system that appreciates individuals and social institutions as a part 
and parcel of the holism of a functional, democratic nation.

*The United States is in an existential crisis*

As you may see in your own nations now, you are marginally functional, 
and the process of becoming less and less functional is approaching you 
with every passing month and year. This nation, the United States, is in 
an existential crisis right now. You may be seeing the possibility of 
martial law in your nation after this election should the present 
executive officer become re-elected. On the other hand, it will require 
the diligent service of those lovers of freedom and democracy to come 
forward to prevent such occurring. What you are seeing in many ways is 
reminiscent of the rise of fascism that you historically saw in Germany 
and in Italy. This is most unfortunate. We are mentioning this simply 
because you may be asleep at the wheel so to speak, and that your 
democracies run off the road and crash creating a reversal of the 
progress you have made as a civilization of democracies. We are not 
causing you alarm. We want to cause your awareness, consciousness, a 
presence of the moment, to be in touch with the times and the tune. 
There are many in your nation who would like to see a dictatorship take 
over, so that the power of one side is against the other. This surely is 
a road of destruction for any democratic nation.

*Only democracies can adapt to current uncertainties—incorporating the 7 
values*

Why am I speaking about democracy and these two factions at this time? 
It is because democracy is the only political system that has /any/ 
possibility of adapting to the future and the uncertain circumstances of 
the present moment, adaptation to the circumstances that creates a 
species who can sustain themselves into the future. Your Homo sapiens 
species has learned to adapt as a species, but what is missing is that 
the organized substance of your societies—of your democratic 
civilization—has not learned how to adapt! Those values that are 
embedded in the DNA of your species are /not/ embedded in the 
organizational DNA of your organizations—whether they be churches, 
whether they be corporations of any type, non-profits, and, 
particularly, in your governmental processes. Neither are they a part of 
your executive branch, judicial branch, or legislative branch.

*You are on a crash course*

So, you see, the trajectory of your nations is on a course of collapse 
and crashing. Only those people who can appreciate these moments will 
appreciate, then, what your read in the books by Jared Diamond the 
historian, by Chris Martenson (/The Crash Course:/ /The Unsustainable 
Future of Our Economy/), and William Strauss and Neil Howe//(/The Fourth 
Turning: What the Cycles of History Tell us About America’s next 
Rendezvous with Destiny/). Those books are fairly accurate as your own 
esteemed historians and futurists have evaluated. They have assessed 
your histories and put it in terms that you can understand.

Because democracies are the only form of government that can adapt 
itself, it therefore must be in tune with the social change that occurs 
within your citizenry. Social change is an important factor to improve 
the conduct of societies and the evolution towards a more equitable 
basis for its operation. You will not find that in dictatorships. You 
can see where dictatorships and totalitarian governments have led you. 
You can recall Stalin. You can recall Hitler. You can recall Mao Zedong, 
Pol Pot, Idi Amin, and others. Those are all negative influences by 
individuals and their groups of supporters that caused the collapse and 
destruction of their societies. It requires deep, deep thought and 
ingenuity to think of how to sustain a society—a nation—into the future 
without dominating anyone at all and providing the freedom individuals 
need to grow into their innate potential.

*Reforming the foundations of your civilization using all 7 core values*

Therefore, and because of that, we have begun this diligent and 
consciously deliberate process of starting at the foundations of 
building your civilization into one that expresses the best of 
democracies and of the freedoms and capabilities of individuals and of 
organizations. You can create a nation and civilization /unconsciously/ 
by using the four primary values, but it takes /conscious/ thought, 
/conscious/ deliberation and decision making using the three secondary 
values to consciously develop a thriving democracy of the four primary 
values into one that sustains itself well into the future.

*The heart of humanity must come forward*

You could interpret this as saying that the heart of humanity must come 
forward to generate its own longevity. It must be generous enough and 
trustworthy enough to guide individuals into the future to develop their 
potential, to improve their quality of life, and to allow the greatest 
amount of freedom without jeopardizing the freedoms of others. This is 
truly a democracy. This is the best of what can come about, and this is 
a junior level of what you would see were you to live another 300 years 
in the approach of the Days of Light and Life. Thank you.

*Walt:*Good day everybody. Machiventa, I am touched and impressed with 
the urgency and the depth (meaning heartfeltness) of your message. I 
thank you for this arousing call to wake up. Also, I wanted to say to 
Jim that I am very, very impressed and grateful with your editing of 
these sessions. It’s a tremendous work both in the formatting and the 
organization. I’m giving thanks for that.

*An appeal for Divine intervention*

Now to get to the point. I do have 8 questions. I will only ask 3 to 
give others a chance and leave it to the moderator’s discretion on when 
to stop, but I will, in consideration of others, just ask three though 
there will be a total of 8. Here’s the first question. For over 200,000 
years we have been extensively subjected to self-defeating conditioning 
and programming by disloyal and renegade non-mortal actors—as if free 
will were not sacrosanct. The result is that the human will is hardly 
free because it has been profoundly corrupted to bend us toward 
self-destructive behaviors while actively hampering our social progress 
and spiritual uplift. In this context, I appeal to Divinity to, at 
minimum, release humanity from the shackles of a corrupted and confused 
will. Using the relevant spirit energies, please bestow on us the gifts 
of one, clarity, and two, the freedom of a healed will which would 
enable us both to understand and to actively choose the glorious 
potentials to be found in fully embracing co-creativity with celestial 
light workers such as you, Machiventa, and your team. And hence my 
direct question is: To what extent can this type of request be granted?

*Free will is sovereign in all regards*

*MM:*Dear Walt, this is Machiventa. We adamantly disagree with your 
tenet that people’s will are inherently flawed and that they are being 
controlled by some outside source. This is completely contrary to God’s 
will that the will of the individual is sovereign in all regards. We 
would suggest that you amend your question and your thinking regarding 
the will of human beings as one that is influenced by parents and by 
society and by media and by other influences upon them as they grow up 
and as they are subjected to peer pressure and so on.

*Celestial team “moving ahead” or waiting for humanity*

*Walt:*That is wonderfully insightful, and that definitely, completely 
changes the landscape of my question. I will definitely give meditative 
thought given that new understanding about what would be better to more 
accurately ask. My second question is: While discussing an eminent, 
tangible, and positive initiative by your team in NET #75, you asserted 
that you and your team would be moving forward whether the mortals join 
in or not. The determination you stated was: “Lead, follow, or get out 
of the way, because we are moving ahead.” However, in NET #98, you 
stated that the team is waiting for humans to be 
overjoyed/enthusiastic/jubilant about the possibility of having 
assistance in times of stress and difficulty. And my question is: What 
has caused this 180-degree turn toward this softened approach?

*MM:*Within the narrow parameters of a mortal’s vision and 
understanding, it would appear to be 180-degrees of change, however we 
operate on a much more inclusive basis as the breadth of our 
understanding of what is occurring includes those who /do /stand in the 
way, those who /do/ oppose, and those who are resistant. There are those 
who want to participate in helping us, and they are part of our team as 
you are and the others who read these materials and so on. We include 
the possibility that individuals may change their mind; that they see 
that the times may change in their world around them and that they need 
to come along with us to be of assistance. We have always invited those 
who stand aside, those who are bystanders, those who observe but do not 
participate. They neither help us nor hinder us. They are simply there, 
and we ask them to come on board. Those who are deniers, those who are 
outliers who wait for an opportunity to dislodge or disrupt our 
progress, those individuals have no assistance for us. They are totally 
supported by the beneficence of our Creator and by Christ Michael, and 
by their Thought Adjuster, guardian angels, and so on. We thank you for 
your question.

*Necessity for major cataclysmic trauma?*

*Walt:*OK, thank you too, Machiventa. And my third question before 
giving the opportunity for others is: Despite our profoundly limited 
mortal capacity to grasp universe reality, when I ponder the reality of 
infinite intelligence and infinite power, I struggle to accept that 
there is absolutely no possibility in /all/ reality for this world to 
have a spiritual and social turn around without major cataclysmic 
trauma. And so, my question is: Is it your understanding that there 
exists no other spiritually legitimate way in all reality to accomplish 
our spiritual and social uplift except through including radical trauma.

*God is the Center of all*

*MM:*Dear Walter, you keep singing the same song but a different stanza. 
The truth is that your world does not need trauma to change its course. 
It needs to have the understanding that God is the center of all, the 
ultimate reality, and that each of you have a part of that ultimate 
reality within yourselves. These calamities on your world were not 
caused by the Creator nor by us or by Christ Michael. These calamities 
that you see—the fires, the floods, the hurricanes, the ice melting, and 
so on—are consequences of human activities and natural consequences of 
the initiation and creation of your world and the natural development 
and ongoing development of a world as a physical, material entity that 
is undergoing change for many reasons.

*Coming in a great clap of thunder—free will and co-creativity*

There are opportunities for the Creator, Christ Michael, and the First 
Source and Center to come through your world in a great clap of thunder 
and shake the bejesus out of everyone (laughter.) To have them awaken 
into the realization that there is something truly grand and awesome in 
the universe besides their own egos and their frightful bag of fears. 
This is harsh verbiage I’m giving to you. Sometimes we give it to you in 
an earthy phrase and colloquialisms, but you understand the point that 
this is not possible because of the mandates of our First Source and 
Center and Christ Michael. One is the mandate of your First Source and 
Center that no individual’s [free] /will/ will be overturned. Second, 
that Christ Michael has said this is a Correcting Time—one which is 
/co-creative/—and that people learn their lessons and learn growth and 
maturation in their spiritual and emotional selves through the process 
of living—facing the realities that exist with them and by them that 
/does/ shake them to their boots, and /does/ shatter their sense of 
equanimity and their self-justified egoisms that they then feel they 
have a right to express.

*Use your free will to become part of God’s grandeur*

Yes, this is a world of /great/ trauma, /immense/ trauma. It is rare to 
see a world such as Urantia undergoing such a terrific, horrific 
approach to the Days of Light and Life. And yes, you have not seen the 
full breadth and depth of the destruction that will occur on your world 
yet. And will it take these to overturn the dark hearts that are around 
you and among you? No, it does not. It is the self-willed individual 
ideas and /will/ to become a part of the grandeur that God has in store 
for you. These developments coincide with this time in the history of 
your planet where your planet is now /well/ overpopulated by at least 
two thirds, and that you will see a tremendous loss of life in the 
future. Is this a part of God’s plan? No. This is a part of the 
overpopulation and the lack of consideration and forethought by 
individuals to control their needs to reproduce, their needs for 
selfish, material self-aggrandizement, and so on.  You are truly seeing, 
Walt, the crash of your world. You are witnessing this. You may ascribe 
this all to God and to Christ Michael, but it is not of their will. 
Their will is peace for everyone—a sense of peace that passes all 
understanding within the minds and hearts of individuals. This is what 
is God’s will for /you/ and for all your fellow men, women, and friends 
here in this world.

Yes, my friend. I would be afraid too were I in your shoes in this world 
at this time.

*Walt:*I am just so in awe of your answer in every expression. I am just 
grateful for it all. And no, it is not too harsh. It is exactly what we 
need to hear and understand. I have nothing but full-hearted thanks for 
your answers—every word. I will turn the floor over to others and hope I 
can get another chance to ask the additional questions. Thank you so 
much, Machiventa.

*We do not offer hints, but you need to have forethought*

**

*Bea:*Good morning or afternoon Machiventa. Thank you again for these 
sessions. I thought about, actually, whether or not I should withdrawal 
my question, but I’m going to go ahead and ask. In your introduction you 
referred to the possibility of martial law following the election. Is 
this possibly a hint that the incumbent will remain in office? And if 
this is the case, it would obviously be a great disappointment to some 
of us. How would you recommend that we handle it? I guess personally I’m 
asking. I admit [that] if that does happen, I am going to be fairly 
disappointed. I might even be distraught.

*MM:*Thank you. You make some /vast/ assumptions in your opening 
comments and your opening sentences. We do not offer any hints. We do 
not offer any suggestions of what may occur. It /may/ occur, but of 
course all of this is totally /dependent/ upon the decisions of mortals. 
You, as thoughtful citizens of a democracy, should be forethoughtful. 
You should have the foresight to think of possibilities which are 
repugnant and violent to your consciousness and violent to your rights. 
Failing to do so, you remain very naïve citizens. We are not suggesting 
that this will occur. We are not suggesting that it /won’t/ occur. We 
are suggesting that the peaceful evolution of your democracy take place: 
peaceful /social/ evolution, peaceful /political/ evolution, [and] 
peaceful /economic/ evolution are needed for your nation and /all/ 
democratic nations. The difficulties you are seeing are the chaffing 
between the rights of individuals and the rights of a society to grow 
and mature [but] held in place by antiquated, crystalized, archaic 
social institutions which have become formalized to the degree that they 
seem to be concrete, immovable, and implacable. Citizens always have the 
right to change their minds. Citizens always have the right to protest 
[that] which is repugnant to their humanity. Not by revolution, not by 
violence, not by killing or eliminating the opposition, but formalizing 
groups of thoughtful individuals into powerful, political blocks of 
opinion—blocks of opinion that now need to become part of the other 
dominating fields of thought. Conservatism isn’t bad. Liberalism isn’t 
bad. You see, these /must/ come into a balance.

*The excellent and just balance*

Christ Michael has always, as Jesus, espoused the even flow. Not the 
average, not the mediocre, but the excellent and just balance. You have 
that within you to do that. And do not think that we are participants of 
formalizing or fomenting an opposition of violence. This is not our 
case. We would never do that, and we would be in opposition to that in 
general terms without invading the minds of individuals. It is the work 
of the Most Highs to work in the organization of humanity, of mankind, 
of your social institutions, to change the minds within groups to go in 
the right direction, to be thoughtful and reasonable. So, please 
rephrase your thinking, thinking that I suggest that this is a 
possibility or probability, for it is not. There is every opportunity to 
change the future in the minds and opinions of individuals who have the 
gumption—the “/chutzpah/”—to come forward and say what is right and tell 
other people what is right. Thank you.

*Bea:*Thank you Machiventa. That’s the answer I wanted (laughing.) I 
mean I’m grateful for your answer, but it does make me feel a lot 
better. I do understand the concept of balance between conservatism and 
liberalism, and really, we should not be crystalizing anything regarding 
that. We should remain open-minded. I guess that brings that question to 
a close. Thank you very much.

*MM:*You are most welcome.

*Ethics in artificial intelligence*

*John:*Hi, this is John from northern California. Thank you Machiventa. 
I appreciate another opportunity to ask a question. I’ll keep asking 
questions and learn how to do this with your help. I have two questions 
today. The first one has to do with a wonderful documentary that has 
just come out called /The Social Dilemma./ I don’t know if you are aware 
of it, but it touches on the idea of /artificial intelligence/ (AI). I 
went back and looked on BigMacSpeaks.life website and in NET #53 you 
talked about artificial intelligence and you mentioned that you had sent 
the two documents that you had worked through This One [Daniel] to 
several dozen leading individuals of the AI industry. And I was just 
curious about that. Is there any progress to report on that? Is there 
any positive direction that has come about as a result of that? I would 
appreciate it if you would comment on that if you are so inclined.

*MM:*Certainly. We, the co-creative element, have not received any 
feedback from the documents that were forwarded to the AI industry. You 
see, in the minds of those individuals, they were on the cusp of making 
AI a powerful engine for their industry. Our work included to them the 
ethics that are reasonable for an AI industry that wants to support all 
of humanity. There is the self blindedness. Many of you are far too 
young to realize that horses that pulled a plow had a harness that 
included blinders, and these were to the outside of the head of the 
horse to keep them from being distracted by what was to the side of 
their peripheral vision. This kept them on course to go forward. This is 
what has happened in the AI industry—that they are in disregard of the 
well thought out ethics for the artificial intelligence industry. The 
will to have more advantage over others and to take advantage of an 
electronic industry through AI is too much on their mind to dominate the 
industry and the market as far as they’re concerned. You see, the ones 
who are making decisions are still the “old white men” who want profit 
over humanity and morality. They want to increase profits while 
increasing the bottom line for all concerned. That may sound cynical, 
and yes, it is appropriately so, because there is a mindedness to 
disregard ethical guidance when ethical guidance is needed and for which 
they themselves have made such a to-do about until only the last few 
months where they have closed their minds and closed their mouths 
regarding ethics.

*Guidance on being a Transmitter/Receiver*

*John:*Thank you. I appreciate that update. My second question is more 
of a personal one. I’m just wondering if you can suggest things that 
would help in my practice in terms of trying to become more effective at 
transmitting/receiving?

*MM:*Yes, and this is general guidance for everyone who is interested in 
being an effective T/R with greater ease and greater fluidity. The most 
effective T/R is one who is self-forgetful, one who is no longer 
involved in the process, one who does not think of what is incoming and 
outgoing—incoming through your mind and outgoing through your mouth. It 
is the T/R who is self-forgetful to the point where there is an natural 
flow from the celestial, the angelic, or divine individual through the 
T/R without thought. Thought by the individual who thinks about what is 
being said—who analyses it or puts it into a cache, so to speak, in the 
mental process—is one who is then interfering in the process. We seek 
those fluid individuals who do not hold the message, think about it, and 
then paraphrase what is said. We prefer T/Rs who are not into a mental 
process at all—those who act as somewhat of an automaton on our behalf 
and on the behalf of Christ Michael. This automaton state of T/Ring does 
not disregard the individuality of an individual but holds the 
individual in high regard who has sacrificed their will to the will of 
Christ Michael and to the will of the message coming through. This is a 
particular state of being that the mortal has to learn—to be 
self-forgetful to the point where they forget they are involved in the 
process, that they are simply just another person in the audience 
listening to the message. This is, perhaps, the most difficult part of 
any mortal existence—to forget yourself and forget your ego and to 
[realize] the fact that the ego has no part and parcel of this at /all/. 
In fact, its absence is totally necessary for the process to flow evenly 
and smoothly.

*John:*Thank you so much Machiventa. I do appreciate the thought and the 
willingness of you to join with us and consider these things. Thank you.

*A mass awakening today?*

*Raymon:*Good morning or afternoon Machiventa, this is Raymon. I’m 
passing on a question from a third party. And the question is: There has 
been a great deal of discussion via various transmissions in the last 
months regarding mass awakening. Some have speculated that this might 
occur in an event of some kind, such as what happened at Pentecost. 
Would you be willing to share with us whether there is such a thing as 
mass awakening as part of the Correcting Time, and, if so, how will this 
happen?

*MM:*First of all, thank you for your question and relaying the question 
to us. Again, Urantia is a most peculiar place to live, to reside, and 
to participate with spirit in this awakening. Because of the co-creative 
nature of the advent of the Correcting Time and of this transition era, 
the awakening must be in the consciousness of the individual. We are in 
observance of the needs of the Most High and God the Supreme to awaken 
individuals to the necessity of consciously coming into the embrace with 
the Divinity within them. We do not foresee an awakening of the nature 
of the Spirit of Truth coming upon humanity for it is here. We do not 
foresee the presence and eminence of Christ Michael coming upon this 
world either, nor that of Nebadonia. Their presence is here. The most 
that can be learned from humanity’s experience at the individual level 
is the conscious awakening of the individual to the awareness that God 
is around them, within them, and is in the care of all.

What you are relaying is that there would be a simultaneous and 
spontaneous “ah-ha” in the consciousness of each individual around the 
world. Those who are of the nature of God, those who have willed to do 
God’s will, and those who are in the observance of the life and 
lifestyle and decisions of Christ Michael already have that awareness. 
/They/ will be the ones who come into individual consciousness of the 
“ah-ha” moment and realize that “ah-ha,” this is a time of deciding. 
This is a time that is very familiar to fundamentalist Christians who 
decide—come into consciousness with the Christ consciousness—to be 
observant of the good around them, and to know that their lives are in 
transition all the time through their awareness of Christ being in their 
life all the time. No, we do not foresee an awakening of the old times 
that are spoken of in the Old Testament, or the New Testament, and of 
those moments when the Spirit of Truth crossed the boundaries of 
consciousness on your world so that it entered the minds of all those 
who were open and receptive (and even those who weren’t) to awaken those 
who had the possibility of knowing that something was afoot of a 
spiritual nature. Thank you.

*Raymon:*Thank you Machiventa.

*Support those who make sense*

*Dennis:*Thank you for taking my question. This is Dennis from central 
Colorado. In your opening statement I heard you say that if the 
president is re-elected, there is a likelihood of martial law, 
presumably to counter the violence from his opposition. My question is, 
given the shortness of time before the election, what can I do, and what 
can other members of this group do or change to influence or alter this 
outcome?

*MM:*I would like to correct your first statement. I did not say that 
martial law would be enacted if this current president were re-elected. 
I conditioned that in further statements to other questions that 
related. The real importance of your question lies in “what can I do?” 
One, you can support those individuals who, when they make speeches, 
make sense. Make sense in terms of what is good for all humanity—what is 
of an equal nature for all humanity. It is important that the presence 
of women be wholeheartedly included in all democratic processes in the 
future. There are some who do make good sense and they need your 
support. It is one of the fallible points of your democracy that it is 
divided. It is divided among a two-party system, and yet it is workable 
in some regard. You have seen multiparty systems come to a quagmire of 
decision-making and incapability in France and Italy. Multiple parties 
are certainly useful, and you have yet, as democratic nations, to 
formulate a process so that their voices are included. That strengthens 
the process for all. This requires a higher consciousness that surpasses 
most political consciousness at this time.

*Pragmatic idealism*

We are enthusiastic, however, that there are pragmatic idealists who 
espouse certain concepts in democracy that should be, could be, used in 
part and applied in part to your current democratic process. Many would 
espouse revolution—a total change of system, a total change of process. 
This is untenable as well, for there is too much lost in revolution to 
be regained through the idealism of those revolutions. What you are 
asking for is how to become a pragmatist while striving to fulfill the 
ideal. You are really addressing the points of the heart (as humans know 
the heart—the Christ mindedness within yourself) to take on the work of 
higher-minded, heart-centered work and still not be in opposition to the 
mindedness that is required to manage a society and manage a planet. How 
can you be of assistance? Be open-minded my friend. Thank you.

*Dennis:*I’m very grateful for your answer, Machiventa. Thank you.

*Craig:*Good morning Machiventa. This is Craig.

*MM:*Good to hear from you Craig.

*Evolution in the democratic process*

*Craig:*Well, thank you. My question is political as well, along…. 
perhaps, following this topic. We want to get to a balance in our whole 
political system, but as I see it, the way we vote, especially the 
single X ballot, seems to promote extremism. Instead of voting for the 
person that we think we might like the best, we vote for the person that 
we think is most likely to prevent the one we like the least from 
attaining the office. So, without going into specifics, is the changing 
of the balloting system, in particular, a way to help get better balance 
and swing that pendulum towards the middle instead of to the extremes? 
Thanks.

*MM:*We wholeheartedly agree with you, and we see that changing the 
ballot process is one of many changes that need to take place in 
democracies. This would be a part of the evolution of the democratic 
process. There are many factors involved in an evolution of a social 
institution [such] as the democratic process. It is not individualistic 
in its means, but of multiple approaches to advancing the interests of 
everyone. You will hear more about this in the near future. You may have 
an interest in one of the future videos that comes about that talks 
about the three stages of democracy, and that the current stage—Stage II 
Democracy—has outgrown its usefulness. It is now antiquarian, and must 
evolve into the third stage, or revert back to the first stage. We, of 
course, of the Correcting Time, in the interests of the Most Highs, 
espouse that which is for the good of the Correcting Time and the 
advancement of socially mature, spiritually eager societies and social 
institutions. This is the necessity of these times. You are in the 
greatest transition of human civilization ever to occur on this planet. 
It will impact all 7.8 billion people in the eventuality of time, and 
particularly those who remain after the decimation. You are in many ways 
building a future that is tenable, that is workable, that is malleable, 
that is adaptive—one that takes on the concerns of thoughtful decision 
making as you suggest in the ballot. This is the essence of an advanced 
democracy where citizens are the final authority for the state of 
existence of their democracy, and, ultimately, the final /responsible/ 
authority to do so. This is a great absence that is occurring in Stage 
  II Democracies now—citizens do not feel the weight of that 
responsibility, and thus do not give their decisions the weight of 
thought they deserve.

*Feedback in democratic systems*

*Craig:*Thank you. And it occurs to me that something that even seems to 
be missing in our second stage democracies is a process of feedback from 
the citizenry to the decision-making bodies. That once they make a 
decision, they don’t know whether it was a good decision or a bad 
decision, and it often affects society in adverse ways that aren’t being 
recognized, perhaps until much later. Do you have a comment on that?

*MM:*Well, certainly and thank you for your question/statement. This is 
music to our ears. Democracy is impossible without feedback to those who 
are ultimately responsible. This is a way of changing the power 
structure of the current democratic process where you have the executive 
branch, judicial branch, and the legislative branch. All of these are 
players in the middle between the people who are the ultimate authority, 
and the people, the public, who are ultimately responsible. The process 
we see in the future would be that these individuals who are elected or 
appointed in these three branches would become more technically expert 
in their fields of endeavor. Their work, as they perceive it now, is to 
obscure public participation. This must change, so the feedback process 
must become more immediate and much more accurate.

*Rebuilding in alignment with the 7 values*

Let me cut through all of this, please, to help you understand what we 
are doing in the long scale. What we are doing is rebuilding your 
civilization. How can you do that? You must have the right tools, the 
right dimensions, and the right processes to make that work. For one, we 
are espousing the use of the seven values. These are measurable, these 
are timeless, these are your metric tools that you can use to make 
consistently moral and ethical decisions. That, and public feedback from 
those processes that are public, can help you make better decisions.

What is so confusing to all of you is the human /interpretations/ of 
those seven values. You have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of 
interpretations of those values, but there is no process that you have 
at present to take back or go back or revert back to the final analysis 
of where those interpretations have come from. Once you have that final 
analysis, then you can begin building social institutions that are 
functional, that work, and that are /fair/. The unfairness that you have 
now is due to personal interpretation and the manipulation of those 
values that America and the democracies hold so dear. That they are now 
subject to further interpretation by those who are in power—to benefit 
themselves. What is further necessary is that from these seven values 
emanate a rational and logical ethic and morality. This is the final 
analysis for a functional democracy—that its morality and ethic that 
underlie the basic tenets of freedom, social institutions, and the 
governance of the public stand in place and be unshakable. This is 
necessary for a rational democracy and for the Days of Light and Life to 
come into being. You are now sitting on quivering sand as you hear the 
earthquake beneath you in social, political, and economic dimensions. It 
is now [time] to think of and prepare for /permanence/—timeless, 
immutable, irreversible, and irreducible values that hold permanence for 
everyone concerned universally. Thank you.

*Craig:*Thank you very much, and we see once again that it comes back to 
the basics of the program that is being espoused in the Correcting Time 
program and all the basic things that are being promulgated in that. 
Thank you very much.

*MM:*Thank /you/.

*Asking for help and growth—be open to it*

*Doug: *Good morning. Thanks for taking my call Machiventa. You ask us 
to open up and seek our own connection with God within. My question is, 
how do we ask for help and growth without that falling over to selfish 
prayer?

*MM:*Well, the answer is one you can apply immediately, and we wish you 
to no longer ask, but to /realize/ that God /is /available always, all 
the time, and immediately for you. You do not have to ask for this, you 
simply have to become /open/ to it. And you may ask for God to assist 
you to become open and willing to receive God’s guidance in your moments 
of stillness, thoughtfulness, and reverie. It is important that you 
understand the difference. You are not praying for God; you are praying 
for yourself. You’re asking God to help you to be open to receive God’s 
guidance. That is always available for everyone equally. Does this help, 
or can I explain this further for you?

*Doug:*Yes, I guess the notion of selfish prayer, that somehow asking 
for things for yourself, is kind of not what we are intended to do. That 
if I wanted to see love in the world, I need to send God’s love /out/ to 
the world and, therefore, I receive God’s love through that—as opposed 
to just asking for God’s love for myself.

*MM:*Correct.

*Doug:*Thank you for your time.

*MM:*You’re most welcome. Thank you for /your/ time.

*Liz on a journey—personality gravity*

*Liz:*Good morning Machiventa. It’s good to be with you again. Thank you 
as always for being with us. I’ve been quite taken by the concept that I 
can be a student at Melchizedek University, and that makes me kind of 
excited to go to sleep at night and look forward to whatever lessons I 
am privileged to have. So, the other night I had an experience, and I 
differentiate this from a dream. This seemed like no dream. I was in the 
middle of the ocean in something like an outrigger canoe with someone 
else and I asked where the map was to get us to the place where we were 
supposed to go as there was no land in sight. And the person with me 
(the guide) said: “We don’t need a map. Personality gravity will pull us 
to them.” So, my question is: Is personality gravity a thing? And my 
follow-up question is: Is the lesson here that I should just relax and 
know that I will be drawn to the right people at the right time where I 
can be of the most service, or is there something more that I should 
take from this experience? And feel free to disabuse me if it was simply 
a dream.

*MM:*I chuckle to myself in your statement and question because it is a 
rare moment when we get to observe this in others—what you have 
experienced. And no, this was not “just a dream.” This was your lucid 
encounter with your Thought Adjuster on a canoe of life crossing the 
great void of the unknown. Yes, there is personality gravity. This is 
real. It is something that you are well acquainted with, and we hope you 
will become even more fully acquainted with. It is being open to say to 
your Thought Adjuster, your teachers, and angels, to say that, “I’m open 
to be led to those individuals who will be of assistance to me, and 
please help me to avoid those who would not.” And you ask that they 
assist you to be attracted to those individuals who would assist you and 
to avoid those who would not. And then, upon asking that and saying that 
to them, you would say: “Would you be willing to do that with me?” And 
they will say yes. And then you will say: “Please move ahead to fulfill 
that. Who do I need to meet next?”

This is very conversational. It is very personal. It is something that 
is very intimate to your spiritual growth and to the fulfillment of your 
life’s mission during your mortal lifetime. This is conscious, spiritual 
evolution in the making. This is something that you can do with your 
guardians, your Thought Adjuster, teachers, and those Midwayers who are 
of assistance to you. You want to be led to those individuals who can 
help you, and those individuals who can help you would be led /to/ you, 
and that you have the mindedness to discern which is which and what is 
helpful and that which is not. You see, during your brief mortal 
lifetimes you really do not have the time to dally about in the time 
that you have remaining. That you use your time wisely, and that for 
those students that are spiritually diligent and want to earnestly move 
forward in their life’s career and their life’s work, that they have the 
greatest advantage to do so. And that they can be most productive in 
assisting their soul growth and being of service to Christ Michael /at 
the same time/. This is a remarkable coincidence, and we appreciate your 
sharing this with us.

*Liz:*Well, thank you so much.

*Scott:*Good afternoon Machiventa. It’s a pleasure to be in your company 
and to be speaking with you once again. As a long-time practitioner of 
politics at a very practical level (since my youth—quite a number of 
decades ago now), I’ve been involved in many different undertakings, 
including trying to help restore… Oh, by the way, I’m from Imperial 
Canada, so I’ll be talking a bit about the Canadian context of 
parliamentary democracy. We had a very big split between 
conservative-minded people that created a situation where winning an 
election was next to impossible to do because of that. However, there 
were a lot of good reasons for that separation that many of us in the 
Legacy Party found important. I guess one of the biggest lessons I’ve 
learned is: we managed, finally, after about 10 years of sustained 
effort and a couple of leadership contests, [to realize the] necessity 
of the status quo parties—the two parties—brought them back together 
again which I think [helped] restore competitive balance. And I think a 
competition is very, very important, but it occurs to me that the 
citizenry of our respective countries don’t appreciate the blood and 
sacrifice that was made by /so/ many brave men and women in the Pacific 
Rim and in Europe in particular in the world wars to give us the 
/privilege/ of electoral franchise. And there’s work to be done to help 
educate and elevate them to understand that their lack of participation 
is really self-fulfilling in terms of a.) bad, non-progressive outcomes 
to election campaigns, and b.) not helping us /evolve/ as we might 
otherwise be able to do. It’s also occurred to me, through some of the 
other sessions and reading I’ve been doing during this period of time, 
that it would be very helpful for people in the Urantia movement in 
particular to help write op-ed articles and to try to get work out into 
the public domain through social media or other ways, that could open up 
the hearts and minds of more fundamentalist Christian thinkers and even 
other faiths to recognize God’s Supremacy and His very real presence and 
availability for all of us. There’s a lot of great writing that’s been 
done by members of the Urantia community. I think particularly, always, 
of Meredith Sprunger (who I had the privilege of meeting a number of 
times a long time ago) [and his works] like “The meaning of the Cross”, 
for example. Maybe we should be working on getting more organized to put 
a lot of this information out and to put ideas out as well. That would 
be very helpful for the teaching time that we are in right now. And 
also, it was very disturbing for me to hear that efforts to get people 
in the AI industry more educated to contemplate their responsibilities 
beyond just the bottom line did not succeed and maybe there are things 
that could be done through public opinion to help with that as well.

*MM:*And your point, sir?

*Scott:*Are these things we could be doing to help mobilize people to be 
writing more, trying to put information out and op-ed pieces into 
newspapers, magazines, and social media that would be helpful to the 
uplifting and to changes that need to be made to get people more tuned 
into the fact that changing government is /not/ a hopeless situation? 
The opportunity is within everybody to participate more actively and 
appreciate the privilege of franchise that so many other countries in 
the world do not have. That may help spiritually uplift the process and 
changes that are being sought.

*MM:*I do not know how to respond to your long statement.

*Who has the power to change that?*

*Scott: *I’m sorry it was so long. I’m just speaking from personal 
experience about how so many people feel that there is nothing they can 
do to make change, and it occurred to me that the knowledge and insight 
that many of us have in the Urantia community and those who are choosing 
to participate in the Correcting Time, that we could be helping to give 
hope and uplift people and lead them to higher ground.

*MM:*A moment please. I challenge you: Who has the power to change that?

*Scott:*Well it’s up to individuals who have the free will, obviously, 
to make those changes.

*MM:*Exactly.

*Scott:*And I think in terms of the concept of personality gravity and 
everything. But if we help bring out different ideas more into the 
public domain in a higher profile way, then maybe we can help change 
this defeatist culture that we seem to have, and the thinking that 
there’s nothing you can do about it, all politicians are corrupt, etc. 
etc., right? And we can’t strive for the higher levels that you were 
commenting on earlier this afternoon.

*MM:*Again, who has the power to change that?

*Scott:*We do. With God’s help.

*MM:*And who is we?

*Scott: *I guess we as individuals who….

*MM:*How about starting with me? The little lowercase “me”—meaning 
yourself. Do you have the power?

*Scott:*I believe I do, and I think I’ve seen the effects of that 
positively in past undertakings of attracting good quality people into 
public life and changing the parliamentary structure here in Canada.

*MM:*Then you need to tell others that you have the power, and ask them: 
“Do they have the power?”

*Scott:*Yes.

*Power is very fluid*

*MM:*You see, power is very fluid. If you say you have the power, you 
have the power. When you forget to say that you have the power, then you 
have given away your power and you are powerless. And others can use 
your power of not saying anything. It is important that you empower 
yourself by saying: “I have the power.” This is the only way that 
democracies survive. This is the /only/ way that dictatorships are 
overthrown to become democracies. You must say: “I have the power,” and 
through that you can express your God-given sonship with the 
Creator—that you have the power and you have the power through Christ, 
Christ Michael, Jesus and his way of life. This is something that can 
appeal to Christian liberals, Christian conservatives, and all 
God-believers no matter of what persuasion—whether they are liberal or 
conservative. If you are centered in God, then you love your neighbor 
and you would empower your neighbor to empower themselves and empower 
more people beyond that. It is important for individuals to realize that 
democracies are totally dependent upon the empowerment of the citizen. 
You have said so yourself. You have said so in the statements that they 
need to be educated and the education begins by saying: “I am empowered. 
What do I need to do to express my power peacefully?” Thank you.

*Scott:*Thank you.

*JT:*We have more questions, but I’m afraid we are out of time. 
Machiventa, do you have a closing statement?

*Empower yourself, empower your society*

**

*MM: *Certainly. This is Machiventa Melchizedek. These last statements 
that were just given to Scott are to everyone. It is to everyone who 
wants to change this world to become a better world, to become a world 
that is openly, eagerly receptive to the presence of God, to the 
presence of a /good/ society, and to being responsible for what occurs 
around themselves and in themselves—what they think, what they say, and 
what they do—and to encourage others to live a rightful life. I do not 
use the word “righteousness” as it has been abused so many times in the 
past; but rightful living and rightful thinking are necessary to have a 
life that works both for an individual, for a family, and for a whole 
society. If you’re not able to participate as a functional, working part 
of your society, then empower yourself to do so. And empower your 
society and your agencies of governance to assist you in that process.

*You are not powerless. You have the power of the God presence within you.*

You are not powerless. You can call upon your Thought Adjuster to assist 
you. You can call upon your Thought Adjuster to bring you to individuals 
who can assist you and to whom you can assist. Your guardian is there to 
assist you [to] do the same. You can also empower your Thought Adjuster 
(though it is a totally independent authority) to move ahead in a 
direction that /you/ think is useful and God-like. You can do the same 
for your guardian angel and to the teachers and angels who are around you.

You are not powerless. You have the power of the God presence within you 
to make decisions that are God-like, and to empower those spiritual 
beings around you to assist in doing God’s will through /your/ life. We 
give thanks for your presence here today, and for your /empowerment, 
/and how you will be a meaningful participant and creator of the future 
you want your children to live through. Thank you.
