</SPAN>Yes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will try to frame it
in a way that readers and listeners can appreciate. The developments and events
that you see around you, in the world that are occurring, and that will occur in
the future, are being orchestrated by the managers of this planet, the
Triumvirate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not to say
that they have caused these events, but they are simply managing these social,
political, military, economic developments that are involved in your world
civilization.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As we have said
before, your world was brought into existence by the Creator, and that its
course has been set, but how it moves along depends on the participants.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Because we do not involve ourselves in
the inviolate decisions that mortals make; we can only amend events outside of
that parameter.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This means that the
course of your world is going as it will go.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We, however, have the capacity to delay
certain social, political, economic, military developments to the point until
someone makes a decision to change course, and then we will strive to do
something more.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you are seeing
in the world, your economic picture in this nation and other industrialized,
financed nations is something that we are delaying, because once the economic
collapse begins, it will be very much like a black hole­—there will be an
event horizon and then a precipitous fall that will include everyone.<SPAN

changes.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

scare talk and horrific emotionally laden language.<SPAN

because we do love you, and that good, loving parents do prepare their children
for good times and bad times, and offer them ways to behave and how to live
during those bad times, and during those good times.<SPAN

how to live in greater stability, even when the walls of their culture are
falling down around them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have
spoken many times of living in the “now.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is the only moment where you are empowered to make decisions and
take actions which will change the course of the future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is what we are doing with many
people around the world; we are offering them many more options in the decision
making process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This tends to slow
up the decision making and the action taking because people see the broader
parameters, affects and repercussions of their decisions.<SPAN

more thoughtfully, rather than so impulsively and quickly making decisions and
jumping to conclusions without full information.<SPAN

survival, both to avoid pain and difficulty and how to move towards that which
supports and enhances their lives.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

energetically.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Their interaction
with their social environment begins with their mother.<SPAN

she is an Anglo, you can anticipate that the fetus will have great difficulty
with this.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The mother will be
unaware of this until the fetus is able to move its hands, elbows, knees and
feet to kick, and so on, so that she becomes aware of the child’s
