style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One moment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As you know from your own commercial
history, and your personal history in life, there is no ‘free lunch.’<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, this will be a service-oriented
society, but there will also be a minor profit motive involved.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not a competitive system, but it
is a system of knowing where the costs are, and where the benefits are.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is more of an accounting system of
effectiveness, rather than for the disbursement of dividends.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In 500 years, the aspect of dividends
will be very archaic; it will be well passed.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have seen what has occurred in the
last 150 years in your nation regarding corporations and this too will change
immensely in the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
greatest impediment to movement of your society moving forward easily is the
resistance by individuals who think that ‘what is’ is forever, and this is
simply not so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just as there were
tremendous and significant cultural evolutionary and changes and developments in
your nation in the last 200 years, you will see that and more in the coming 200
years as well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One must be flexible
and capable of appreciating the ground movement under them culturally, in your
society, and soon you will see these cultural changes throughout the world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are beginning to see and appreciate
these cultural changes, societal changes, in nations that are similarly
constructed, similarly in operation, those that are democracies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These have a tremendous effect even on
those nations which do not have a democratic base.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The movement into a service-based
society will be conceived of differently than the services that you see in your
nation now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Healthcare is a
service, education is a service, and restaurants are a service and so on.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are services as opposed to
products.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In a service-based
society, as you mentioned, it will be the quality of life that will be engaged,
rather than the objects of your history of industrialism in the world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is object-based, this is
product-based, and you have seen that your nation has moved from a product-based
nation to a service-based nation, but this is still part of the old paradigm of
your societal economy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The new
paradigm will see the individual as an asset, whose worth becomes greater by the
investment in developing their potential within.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This will have many repercussions in
your culture and throughout the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I will stop now and wait for further questions for you to clarify.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MONJORONSON:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One moment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I would like to return to the topic you
mentioned before asking your question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You mentioned the <B>three core values of sustainability</B>.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These three core values are irreducible;
the sustainability of life cannot be reduced below these three values.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One is <B>life</B>, and in the old
interpretation of your economy, you have interpreted life in a quantitative
manner, that one life is equal to another life, and so on, without regard to the
qualities and attributes that an individual brings with them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the new paradigm, the three
irreducible core values of sustainability will be primary to the development of
economies and the world’s civilization.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Life, in this regard, means the quality of life—not just ‘having’ a life,
but having <B>a life of quality</B>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The second value is
<B>equality</B>, that you have equal access to develop the potential that is
within you, with the same equal capacity of anyone else.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This does not mean that you will become
a 162 IQ, as someone else, but it means that if you have an IQ of 85, then the
potential that lies within you is developed within your capability to do
so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So too, is the same for a
person of genius quality.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the
new paradigm, you do not expect any less of the person with 85 as you do with
160, or vice versa.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Both must
strive to develop their innate qualities to their greatest capacity and
capability of their potential, as they choose.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The last value is
<B>growth</B>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Life without growth
is meaningless, it is static, it is boring, it is dull and has no meaning.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Life without the hope of growth has no
meaning as well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even if one is not
growing and not developing, you hold within you the hope of growth and of
developing those potentials, those capabilities within you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is essential.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Individuals need to grow and become
sustainable as individuals, and their contribution to a society of individuals
who are developing their capabilities and potential, assist the sustainability
of their family, communities and societies, and eventually the nation and
civilization as a whole.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>This is what is coming to your
world; this is what we are delivering to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Failure to engage this qualitative
aspect of your lives, of your nations and of your world will doom your
civilization to decline and eventual collapse.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One must get past—and when I say ‘one,’
that means the individual—and a nation—must get past the arbitrary evaluation of
objects and material goods as the measurement of one’s capacity and goodness in
their community and society.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
simply is not so. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are, and have
been in observation of the “Occupy Wall Street” phenomena and it is not
amusing.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you are seeing is
that your nation as a culture has maximized its product-oriented,
object-oriented materialism to the greatest extent.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has sought to own, control or
dominate all material production to the greatest extent possible in its
existence and has become even more so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This centralizing materialism is harmful to individuals.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are seeing in a nation where you
have tremendous resources for education, for medical care, for stable societies
and communities, where individuals are now demonstrating for access to
opportunity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Material things they
have taken for granted; their freedoms they have taken for granted; that which
was fought for during the American Revolutionary War has been
achieved—fully!<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>All political and
civil rights have fundamentally been fulfilled and actualized in your nation
politically, by the early 1970’s.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your nation now is on the cusp of entering into the new era.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It may do so violently; it may do so
peacefully, but it will change, for there is no other alternative.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>A moral compass has never been
given to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has only been
developed evolutionarily as necessary in societies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The code of Hammurabi, which was adopted
by Moses and many others throughout the history of your civilizations, is a
necessary document for the good-working order of your societies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These too, are object-oriented in many
ways, although there are qualitative aspects to the injunctions so that
relationships and harmonious order are maintained.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is blatantly missing from this
ancient moral code is the direction and guidance to do good towards
sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Golden Rule,
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” is evident and is reflected
in every religion and every culture and every language-based culture in the
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a truism that cannot
be surpassed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The ultimate “Do unto others,” is
to engage them and improve their lives in a quality manner, so that they can
develop themselves within.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What
does this do?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What this does for
the individual is to give them a higher sense of appreciation for themselves,
self-esteem and self-image.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It as
well engages the individual to aspire, to improve their mentality, their
socialization, such that they begin to ask questions of the larger aspects of
the universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Where does this
abundance come from?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And of course,
it comes from the First Source and Center.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The whole object of all these

here on your planet, other than that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>By improving the sustainability of your world, we as well,
simultaneously, improve the potential for you as individuals to become
God-centered, God-dedicated and to love your fellow brothers and sisters as one
family.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We know that for many of
you who come from dysfunctional, disruptive, aggressive and abusive families,
this seems like a tremendous burden.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Our instructions are to assist you to devise sustainable family dynamics,
such that you and your grandchildren will generate children who are truly
functional, those who are happy, those who are satisfied, those who seek to
develop themselves without looking back over their shoulder at the ghosts of
their family past.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The moral compass is an ultimate
instrument that we give to you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
is very simple to use, but if you are not used to thinking in other dynamics or
parameters, it will seem very strange to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not be surprised when you use the
moral compass that it will call into question many of your beliefs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Remember that although there are only
three simple values that under-gird the sustainability of all humanity on this
world and on other worlds, it is the beliefs that spin out of those values that
make the difference.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some cultures
have developed some very strange, aberrant beliefs out of those values.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>And there are expectations: for
every belief, there are dozens of expectations that must be demonstrated to
fulfill that belief.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
expectations and the fulfillment requirements, those are measurable.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you believe in God in the old
traditional way, then Sunday is a hallowed day, a sacred day that is dedicated
to worship God, the Father of all.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>However, if you are not a God-centered individual, but an animist, then
you would praise and love animals every day of the week, and are a
vegetarian.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So your beliefs that
emanate out of these values will vary tremendously.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find that some are in error;
some are very helpful and constructive to your sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I apologize for going on at
length here, but all these aspects are interrelated.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you begin working on your
healthcare system, as you would envision it 500 years from now, then you will

of you consulting with your Thought Adjuster and your Melchizedeks in your

participating and respect their thoughts.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is important that everyone participate because everyone will arrive in
the future, with or without a belief in God.<SPAN

all the world, for those who believe and those who do not believe.<SPAN

life must be demonstrated in your own life to those who are not believers, and
it is not your job to sell them on the belief in God.<SPAN

works for you in the larger dynamic of an ascending life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those who see life as terminating with
their material death, that is most unfortunate; their generosity to participate
in an effort to which they will never see the end of, has to instill in you a
tremendous sense of awe and gratitude and appreciation, and for their largess to
share their lives in this way, for results they will never see.</P>

in politics and political governance because there is so much position-taking
within and among those groups.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What
the moral compass does—and I will use the word “moral compass” to include the
three core values as they operate within the schematic of sustainability, we
will simply call it the “moral compass”—that this moral compass will assist
interest groups in testing their own sustainability and positions, and will also
assist in the process of governance to show and demonstrate to legislators how
the policies and laws they propose are position-taking, rather than
interest-centered.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is of
greatest interest is the developing sustainability of their district as it fits
into the larger context of a state, which fits into the larger context of the
nation, and eventually, the world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You will be able to demonstrate very clearly what is position-taking, and
what is interest-centered, without having to buy into or compromise yourself, or
[a] stepping down approach from the ideal.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>[It] will require you to compromise and therefore the political process
that requires compromise, without position-taking, will be necessary.<SPAN

arbitration will continue to be used as necessary, but with the moral compass as
a guide all of the outcomes will make far more sense, and will be productive and
point towards larger developing ideas and concepts of sustainability.</P>

the object of that lesson is profound, that the morality that was sufficient for
ancient and traditional cultures and nations, is no longer suitable by itself,

to the sustainability of those nations, and of the civilization.<SPAN
