*A revision of the plans *



*Machiventa: *Good morning. This is Machiventa Melchizedek, your planetary
manager for Urantia. It is an honor to be here as I consider it. This is my
duty. This is my service, and it is an honor to be here to apply the wisdom
I have learned during the tenure of my life as a Melchizedek and that I can
hopefully be of service to humanity and to Christ Michael and Nebadonia to
bring this world with their assistance and guidance and plans into the
light once more.



Today I can say that we have begun a revision of the plans that were in
place over two years ago. Those plans had been in place for at least two or
three decades, if not four and longer, and they suddenly became disjointed
due to COVID-19. And for us, the shock of the insurrection of January six
was a huge wake up call for us if you don't mind me using that phrase as we
are almost always awake—there are very few of us who sleep though we do
rest. Those plans had been longstanding and were projected to take some
traditional courses of development and evolution. However, those were set
aside rapidly slightly less than two years ago as COVID-19 became known in
the fall of 2019 and then spread rapidly throughout the world. This is the
pandemic cataclysm that had been anticipated though its appearance came far
sooner than we had anticipated. We are back in the mode of engaging early
plans to bring about the changes necessary. Although we do not go by clocks
and calendars and so on, we do go by developments and to combine those two
methods of measurement—time and developments—you can take it as very
earnest on our part that we have lost two earth years developmental
progress in the plans that we had originally put into motion so long ago.



*Some aspects of the plan have been left to wither *



Two years is not much time on the scale of developments for a civilization,
but for a planetary civilization and some national societies of that
civilization two years is a huge amount of time that can act like
fertilizer on cataclysms of various sorts and human-generated problems. The
natural problems—the natural cataclysms—are progressing as we had predicted
and estimated long ago. The human cataclysms however are a different
matter. These can make transitions very quickly from immature crises to
full blown cataclysms within a matter of a year. This is not unheard of in
the realms of Nebadon, but it is rather startling to the newer members of
our cadre—spiritual beings here on this planet and in this prior quarantine
area. What I am saying is that there is no amount of working on our part to
make up for two years of lost development. As I say, there is no making it
up. Therefore, what will occur is that some aspects of the developmental
plan for the civilization of Urantia will be truncated—meaning that they
will be clipped—and that they will be left to wither rather than develop,
mature, and evolve. This means that in later eras that these truncated
stems of social maturity and development will be gotten to, will be
nurtured to develop on their own, to then fill out the spectrum of human,
social/societal activities.



Now when I speak of social/societal, I mean those very large elements of
human progress where that progress is of a social nature meaning more than
one individual—meaning that it can be upwards to the whole of civilization.
Once you become acquainted with the ethics and morality of the seven
values, you yourself will be able to estimate very clearly and quite
accurately as to the maturity level of your various social institutions.
And when I say social institutions, I mean those traditional social
institutions, but this is where the societal and the social institutions
cross and that is where the organizations that work within those social
institutions need to progress and progress rapidly, particularly to evolve.
The example of public education in democratic nations is one area where the
societal crosses with the organizational and social institutions. The
social institutions have organizations within them that are staid, archaic,
and entrenched in tradition and have become calcified in their ability to
transform themselves into more effective social institutions. You will see
many changes within education (as you are now) that have been caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic. This is a necessity.



*Profound cultural change *



What you are seeing is cultural change that is profound—whether it's
education, medical services, government, or any of the other social
institutions, the cultures in them and around them have necessarily needed
to change rapidly to accommodate for the needs of citizens and members that
are being served by those social institutions. Health care in many places
around the world operates on a basis of necessity and the greatest
effectiveness possible. However, in mature democracies such as the United
States and Western Europe those social institutions are laggardly—they are
entrenched in materialism and financial growth.



*Transformation needed in accordance with the most permanent values *



We have often said that cultures are very much in need of transformation.
As social institutions exist within a culture, when the values of a culture
change, then the values of those social institutions change.  Because
cultures have no geographic location, postal address, or GPS location, for
us to change the values of a culture requires us to make our approach to
social institutions, which do have a physical and social presence in the
form of operational organizations.  As you have seen cultures and social
institutions are slow to change, until tragedy strikes as has occurred with
the current pandemic.  Without the guiding co-creative influence of our
relationship with each of you, your cultures, societies, nations, and
cultures would very likely return to their traditional form and functions.
As we have been teaching you, the most useful, pragmatic, and sustaining
values are innate to your species, with a proven record of performance of
over 200,000 years.  Our work is to encourage the organizations of social
institutions to adopt the culture of humanity’s core values, and their
subsequent ethic and morality.



The above encapsulates the great intention of Christ Michael in the form of
the Correcting Time programs, missions, and projects.



As the pandemic becomes more bizarre and much more difficult to manage,
world health care organizations will necessarily need to replace their
traditional values as they rapidly erode and prove ineffectual for the
circumstances. The most permanent and efficacious values are those that are
at the cultural core of humanity—the seven values that are innate to all
humans.



This is the original mortal culture of the planet, outside of the spiritual
community which is unseen by mortals. Our work is to enliven the seven core
values and attendant ethics and morality in the societies of Urantia. It
has been our work to introduce these to you some years ago and we have been
making progress. Not everyone, even in the higher academic culture of
education, adheres to these values. It will be an important achievement
when those organizations within academia and the organizations of social
institutions recognize these values as necessities for the peaceful
settlement of human civilization and its societies and nations.



*Your communities of religion must evolve as well*



That is where we are now with our work. We are striving to reintegrate this
new plan into the spiritual and religious organizations that mortals have
brought into existence. You very possibly will see some significant, major,
and very rapid developments occur in your communities that are not
necessarily centered in the geographic community reference. Your
communities of religion, spirituality, and spiritual metaphysics must
necessarily evolve as well. There will be a great deal of discomfiture
among traditional individuals within those various venues. It will be
challenging even for those who were in their middle years of 30s, 40s and
50s to make the transition from the less traditional to the more evolved.
It will all look as though there is a vanguard, nouveau culture coming into
being which will be correct. And of course, as humans are wont to do, they
will be striving to make their egos known within these new areas of
interest. It is important therefore that these seven values, ethics,
morality, and the spiritual communities of which we are a part, remain
faithful to the core of our interests, so that we can establish a firm base
for the survival and very operational existence of your societies. That
will all come into question eventually, as your societies come into
disarray.



This is good news I know, and harsh news as usual. I wanted to bring you up
to date as far as our work is concerned. We have new programs in place, new
agendas in place, new priorities in place to make progress in your
societies. Of course, we call upon you. We know that you will be faithful
to the core of Christ Michael's work, and we praise you, and give you our
thanks. Thank you. I am open for questions if you have any.



*JT:*  Alright, I'll start a question-and-answer session, and we will begin
with Rick.



*Progress in education*



*Rick:* Machiventa, it’s good to be with you here today. [Unintelligible]
that education in the United States and Mexico and saying the same book.
There is a rigid, crystallized component to it that was almost strangling
the creativity and dynamics of education. Over my years [I’ve seen two that
worked really well] and those are Montessori and Waldorf, and I guess the
third would be International Baccalaureate, but that's for a higher level.
When you talk about your concerns about a calcified educational program,
would those be the models that you would have us look at as potential
examples.



*MM:* Yes, in part—only in part. They are more flexible and neither school
is antagonistic toward the other. They provide a wonderful alternative to
public education and even some primary education that is private. These two
schools would be more in tune with our work were they to reexamine their
intentions for existence and the intention of their contributions which
would then be evident in amendments to their existing programs. As you may
have studied the priorities of decision-making illustration that This One
and Avalah Melchizedek created, you will note that the emphasis is on the
sustainability of the species and the sustainability of the
individual/family. These two educational philosophies are very diligent
about their work and how they approach it. They would make wonderful
models, in part, for our work. Do you understand so far?



*Rick:* Yeah, I do.



*MM:* Good. Thank you for your question.



*Rick:* May I expound on the question by asking how might the model of
Montessori and Waldorf be improved. In what specific area are they lacking
and could be improved upon?



*MM:* That would be to focus upon their intention. Now they are trying to
provide a holism of education to Children at the level of their
development. We simply would like to see a new emphasis upon the child as a
functional part of the family and that they would be provided with
educational support to help the children become effective parents when
*they* grow up. This, of course, would have a resounding effect upon the
children's current parents. Now, does that make it more clear for you?



*Rick:* Yeah, but feel free to expound.



*MM:* I am hesitant to expound for we do not want to lay down railroad
tracks of ideology that are not amenable. There are fundamentalists in
every social institution which would adhere to the word and that's all
they're going to see, and that's all they're going to do. We want to remain
highly flexible at this point. Thank you.



*Rick:* Thank you.



*Recca:* Thank you Machiventa and thank you Rick for your interesting
question. Before I ask my question, may I address from the Urantian parent
point of view Machiventa’s statement about both Walden (which is Steiner
method) and the Montessori method? I was very familiar with, although not a
Montessori director, before I read *The Urantia Book* and when I read *The
Urantia Book*, I was charmed and delighted to see the expansion of
Montessorian principles very obviously put down in the papers on the
adjutant mind spirits and the cosmic mind. I suggest to anyone interested
in up stepping the Montessori in their own family practices to observe the
E. M. Standing book on the life of Montessori. There's a listing of the
traits of the normal child. And I applied in my own home-school family and
public-education-family work, the teachings in *The Urantia Book *to the
traits of the normal child, and *indeed* having a family council where the
children of the family are introduced to the complexities of parental life,
role playing, family council, and voting in family council are a useful up
step to Montessori practices. So that's all I have to say on that. In other
words, it can be wonderfully improved. Also, I would love to see Montessori
principles in public life. In other words, there are probably normal
adults. I'm sorry. There are, there's probably a model for the normalized
adult as well as the normalized child. Those are wonderful traits. Children
help adults become adults.



*Timeline of the shifted plans *



So, my question for you, Machiventa, is: You referred earlier to your
planetary management group plans as being shifted. But you said the
trajectory of earlier plans has been pushed off, are you referring to the
2000 years since Pentecost when Christ Michael had put into effect his plan
for up stepping the planet? Or are you referring to further back—your own
emergency presence on the planet for Abraham and the Caligastian
crisis/betrayal and the Adam and Eve default. Have the up stepped plans for
planetary recovery gone back that far, or are we speaking about Pentecost
plans?



*MM:* This is Machiventa. You befuddle yourself by making your
question—your statements—too complex. I am referring to the end of the dark
ages and forward from there.



*Recca:* Oh, you mean the Middle Ages, the medieval period. The transition
into the age of reason—into Descartes.



*Advancing our original plans *



*MM:* The fundamentals of those plans were put into place at that time.
They have been refined since then and they have become more defined with
the advent of the formation of democratic nations from the mid 1700s and
forward. We and the Most Highs were at work with the authors of the
Declaration of Independence and very, very busy with the committee—the
individuals—who formed and approved the final constitution in 1791. Since
then, we have been on a track with the plans that follow the industrial
revolution, the automation and data revolutions, and so on. Those plans
have been fine-tuned as time has passed which came to a sudden *pause* with
the advent of the Covid pandemic. We were aware of those pathogens before
they became apparent to your scientists and the rather explosive
proliferation of these pathogens took your societies by surprise and—I
wouldn't say, our dismay too. It wasn't altogether unanticipated, however,
the rapidity of the spread of that virus was alarming, at least to us. We
wish it was more alarming to mortals.



We have had to make adjustments of those original, what you might even call
traditional, mortal-celestial plans with the spread of the COVID-19 virus
and now the proliferation of the variants. Therefore, we have had to
reframe the trajectory as you call it so that it arrives at nexus at
approximately the same time. Therefore, it is important that we, you use
the word up-step, we are going to use the word *advance*, our original
plans so that they come into development and social evolution much more
quickly. This will require the very best behavior and thinking of mortals
in your realm and particularly of those who are concerned with the Teaching
Mission and Magisterial Mission and *The Urantia Book*. You will see one of
these developments as that of the workshop in October of this year
approximately two months from now. It is important that local people begin
to understand how to make amendments and changes to their larger societies
beginning in their communities and moving forward from there. The openness
of the topics that can be addressed through the Design Team Process are
almost without limit and without limitation of breadth and depth. The
questions to be asked need to be answered, and that they will have a
rational means to do so. Remember that these teams are not committees and
there is only rarely a need for a vote to be taken as there must be
consensus achieved as frequently as possible. I have gone astray from your
question and have addressed other topics. You may continue your questions
if you wish Recca.



*Recca:* Thank you. Actually, that's not far away from my original
befuddled question. Thank you for pulling me up tight again with the Middle
Ages, I can function better thinking like that. Another question: In first
world, developed societies, is there a difference in the planetary
management timeline? No. Is there a difference in the planetary management
techniques for contacting or inspiring third world countries which have
dictatorial or non-democratic societies governments?



*Varied approaches for different societies *



*MM:* I understand [the question]. Yes, we read your mind very clearly. The
answer is yes. There are different means, different timelines, different
strategies and tactics for approaching these societies. Of course, the most
retarded ones are those that are autocratic, and the populations have been
socialized and enculturated in autocratic regimes. It takes more time for
those people to come to a place where we can openly work with them.
However, that is not to say that the calcified bureaucracies of first world
countries are much different. We find that within every world order of
nations, whether it's first, second, or third, that there are advanced
individuals there who we have already approached and are striving to enlist
in our work. This will be something that will be, rather than foreign aid,
eventually there will be genres of aid to assist the development, maturity,
and eventually the evolution of social institutions in each nation. We are
leaving nothing to risk as we also have work being done with indigenous
people in their own environs. It is important that their wisdom and their
spiritual perspectives be integrated into the Western, technologically
developed cultures, which seem to be in many ways bereft of spiritual
inclinations. We are working simultaneously in all nations and all cultures
and all ethnic groups.



I believe I said last time that there are several billion spiritual
entities on your world working now with individuals and groups. It is our
work now with you in this realm of Melchizedek collaboration with mortals
to have begun the coordination of efforts among mortal groups. This is done
through happenstance, through coincidence, and serendipitous occasions—even
to the point of assisting individuals and their reference work so they find
materials that are useful to our mutual work. Thank you.



*Recca:* Yes, that’s exactly what my question was. In the last T/R session
and session before that you used the word *transform*. That word has been
preying on my mind in my many activities, and I am wanting to be an agent
of transformation as well as I'd like to transform myself. I find that
attempting to be in conscious presence with my Thought Adjuster is an act
of transformation on myself, on my own habits, on my own calcified habits.
Are we each transforming agents as we transform ourselves? And do we help
to transform our local societies, our local communities by acting with
intention? (That sort of answers its own question.) But transforming
ourselves from being a material sort of unspiritual society (my local
community), I have to transform around me and that's hard work.



*MM:* You should take on our tasks.



*Recca:* Yes, I'm trying to take on your tasks in a single way and it’s
hard work. It's hard work to transform my mind around the work on mortal
levels as opposed to Most Highs and planetary levels. And it is a task to
just think globally as a mortal. Was there not any gain through your eyes
during the covid pandemic in the United States and in the Western World?
Did we not make any kind of social advance in our panic to survive this
crisis? Were there not any increased….



*MM:* Recca, this is Machiventa. You're now layering your questions. To get
back to your original question, yes, we do have efforts in many societies
to assist them. And to your second question, yes, there has been progress
made, wonderful progress made. This is part of the culture-change. As
you're seeing with this culture-change, there is a sifting, a separating,
much as water and oil separate, between those who are resistant to change
and those who embrace change and those who think in global terms to assist
in the protection of children and mothers who are capable of reproducing.
Yes, there has been progress made, but the tearing and separating between
groups of individuals has made it difficult—an inaccurate word—to work with
all groups. We of course are paying special attention to those who have
flexible thinking, flexible minds, and who can think deferentially rather
than linearly. It is important that we foster those who are coming along,
who will be the proponents of the new transformations of the social
institutions from the family to higher education and so on. Thank you for
your question. Do you have further [questions] that you can simplify?



*Recca:* I'd like to apologize here for thinking differentially maybe. My
thinking has increasingly become layered, and it gives me a physical sense
of dislocation in my daily work. I have not been physically working well
because I find too many options. I have to narrow my choices to make
progress. Maybe that's my task right now. Thank you very much for your
patience. I'll stand down.



*Protections for the October meeting *



*JT:* All right. The only reader questions we have today are from Walt.
Walt says: As required, we attendees of the October design team workshop
meet each being fully vaccinated against COVID-19. However, infection is
still possible in the vaccinated, especially given the delta variant who
can in turn asymptomatically spread the disease. Is there any protection or
practice your team can provide us to mitigate the possibility of workshop
attendees contracting the virus en-route or during sessions and returning
to their loved ones infecting them?



*MM:* Yes, we have already striven to make those “arrangements” such that
you will be protected as best as possible from within your travels to and
from the workshop. You simply need to keep an openness and awareness of the
presence of spirit around you to assist in this process. You may need to
turn left when you were planning on turning right for instance. Simply
follow our lead, and you will be protected as best as you and we can
provide. Thank you.



*Raising your consciousness*



*JT:* Walt says: As you stated in PMG 10, how does one “raise oneself
beyond their own personal consciousness to envelop and engage the
consciousness of all others?” What [can we] visualize to achieve this?



*MM:* This is much like two raindrops that have landed on a wire—let's say
a clothesline—and they are moved by wind and by the elliptic of the wire,
drawn together, and one absorbs the other. Which one absorbs which one
absorbs the other first? You can practice this metaphorically in your life
as you attract those individuals to you who are attracted to your energy
and, not that you envelope them, but your consciousness is already
attracting them to you and you to them. Thank you.



*A friend with cancer *



*JT:* He says: A family friend and fellow believer has cancer that has
begun to metastasize. I've been praying for this individual and visualizing
God healing them. Can you advise of any further spiritual practice I may do
to co-create the individual’s healing?



*MM:* Yes, most certainly. We would ask them or urge them to envelop the
consciousness of Christ Michael into themselves. This would be the most
powerful healing influence that they could attend to. It has many vectors
of opportunity and possibility latent within that action. Thank you.



*JT:* Walt asks: Since your team will not abridge any individual’s will
expressions of decisions, it seems that citizens and nations of dynasty
dictatorships must hopelessly abide oppression indefinitely. While
democracies are healing through co-creative collaboration, celestial teams,
how will those oppressive states become a thing of the past?



*MM:* Most certainly. This is Machiventa. It is simply by holding their own
will first before that of the dictator. Thank you.



*Societal change comes from within individuals *



*JT:* His last question: I believe wholeheartedly that having societies of
operationally intact families can heal the world. However, I cannot
concretely explain how. Please provide concrete examples/explanation of how
creating such families will eliminate the social, political, and
international antagonisms which are so often facilitated and cultivated by
social media and geopolitical rivalry.



*MM:* Dear Walt, your emphasis is misdirected once again. It is not upon
the outer but on the inner. It is willing to do God's will to teach
children how to be attended to the still small voice within them for their
own direction. Yes, societies will be healed by the healing of all families
within that society. It is a very slow process and in doing so those
families will produce those God-centered individuals who will become
presidents, executives, boards of trustees, and members of the
decision-making people of the nations. This is not about the conscious
effort to change those institutions and those organizations. This is not a
revolution, Walt. This is doing God's will in the most intimate confines of
a family and within the confines of one's own personality and their will.
Thank you.



*JT:* Walt expresses his love and gratitude. That's all we have today. Do
you have a closing?



*Be adaptable *



*MM:* Yes, certainly. This is Machiventa. As your scientist Charles Darwin
said, the intelligence, and mass, and size of a species matters little if
it is inflexible, and that the most capable of surviving are the most
adaptable. And therefore, the Midwayers who are the constant companions of
your planet and of you, and who are with us work for the adaptation of
individuals, of families, and whole societies to change and survive. It is
adaptation which is the watchword of all celestials and this infusion of
spiritualism and spiritual entities on your planet. We are here to assist
you to adapt and survive. As you're seeing from the COVID-19 pandemic and
its variants, adaptation is one of the most effective means of surviving.
Rather than complaining about wearing a mask, that you accept the most
effective masks, you socialize in small groups, and you avoid places where
you suspect there might be pathogens in the air. This is adaptation. Those
individuals who are inflexible and have calcified themselves in their own
personal belief systems will surely pass by you on their way to the mansion
worlds. We ask that you be flexible and adaptive, knowing that we are
assisting you to survive for our co-creative work with Christ Michael
cannot be completed without you. Therefore, we are in need of flexible
individuals who can adapt and accept new ways of living and of life to
assist their societies in doing the same. We praise you for your tenacity,
for your patience, for your endurance, and for your perseverance in this
work. It is not easy for you, and it is not easy for ourselves as it
requires the patience of Christ Michael himself as Jesus to do so. We thank
you for your attendance and your participation today. Good day.



*JT:* Thank you, Machiventa, and thank you Daniel.
