question, after awareness comes the awareness of yourself in relationship to
your spiritual teacher, and that you know that your teacher has come to you to
assist you to develop your skills in application.<SPAN

Mentors, the Mentori, to assist you in the growth of those skills and
capabilities, but your spiritual teacher is the individual who is particularly
interested in applying your skills in the areas where you can be most

aware that Celisia has been working with you in your work, in your community
work.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is your field of

humility.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have many skills and
you have been expressing them in your life, here in this wonderful pristine

aware of many details, and can coordinate them and bring people together for
higher outcomes.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is perhaps
no greater need for that than what you are expressing in your life.<SPAN

been doing, you will find what you have been doing well, particularly if you
eliminate the factor of time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
skills are not dependant upon the accomplishment of certain goals within a
particular time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you see where
you are gaining results, whether it is in one week or one year, or in three

in more coherently understanding the mind of the person you are dealing with,
whether they are in front of you talking with you, or whether they are at the
end of a telephone three thousand miles away.<SPAN

desperately needed in the current times and times ahead.<SPAN

about the other person, for it is something that will serve you very well.<SPAN

this one about your skills, but I am sure they will echo the same things that I
have said.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are already doing
what you are supposed to be doing with your life now.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Along these same lines, I have been
drawing people together in our community, as you seem to know, and right now I
have drawn them together into something they see as a “brain trust,” a
brain-storming group, to discuss community needs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My intent is that we evolve into a
design team.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’ve laid initial
groundwork for that to happen.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
seems that our talks at this moment all keep leading to the economic crisis that
our little rural community is in which reflects a similar economic crisis across
all rural communities—at least in our area, if not on a broader scale.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It seems that we cannot get beyond the
economic issue to get to the issues I would have liked us to take on, like
family and individual growth and things like that.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I’ve got several questions along this
line.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Is this a good goal for our

what we can do locally here?</P>

goals, which may be primary in your mind, but you need to assist the individuals
to feed their hope, their energies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They might not see the course that you would like to develop as along
their pathway, but you can do both.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Remember that in your brain trust team, you have tremendous capability,
and you, as a group, have tremendous capability, and that you can accomplish
more than one goal at a time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
may set the goal outside themselves as a goal to hold their attention, but all
along the way, good process managers or systems managers are developing systems
and processes that assist their community to stay complete.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I anticipate your next question,
and that is how do you pursue this?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And this is where the mentors and your teacher can be of tremendous
assistance. You simply ask them co-creatively, as this one has instructed you to
do, to proceed with that process of completing things that you cannot, and then
asking and requesting that spirit move ahead to complete those things.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, you must agree as though you
are hiring some man to rake your yard:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You hire him to rake your yard.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>He has a rake and a truck and trash bins.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He shows up and you see him and his
equipment and you realize that he is only 4’8”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You ask him, “Do you want to proceed
with this?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Are you capable of doing
this?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Would you like to work with
me on cleaning up the yard?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He
says, “Yes.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And then, what do you

to learn that from his father, and so if he learned the skills of managing this
business and the father would say, “Go ahead!”<SPAN

authority to make these things happen in concert with his other workers, and so
it is with the Father, with Jesus, with Christ Michael.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Along these same lines, but on a
more personal project…today, as a life coach, and in the past, when I worked as
a school psychologist, and as I raised my own my family and observed the people
around me and the families of my children’s friends, I saw a tremendous need to
train parents in the simplest parts of parenting and raising a family. Parent
training on a very basic level. There are some good programs out there that are
successful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One of them is called
the “STEP Program,” (Systematic Program for Effective Parenting) which I shared
with Daniel earlier. The reason that STEP is so successful is it utilizes sound
psychological and behavioral theory and research and teaches parents how to
raise their children with mutual respect and equal human worth and dignity and
with a discipline that uses natural and logical consequences for behavior. It is
sound and has a simple, easy to understand presentation.<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 aspect of the program
that makes it so powerful, is that it then empowers those parents to become
facilitators and start STEP parenting teams in their own neighborhood.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(<B>Machiventa:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Exactly!) And it can snowball.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, I’m dreaming about doing that
here.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But, I have a problem—and I
do believe that Celisia may be the one that’s been talking to me about this
problem—I tend to spread my energies very thin.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So I am thinking about how to approach
this. I, of course, could do one group, then I would want that group to go out
and form and teach another group and I could remain the master teacher for those
leaders of those groups when they have questions.<SPAN

institution, with divisions according to different sects, but that the whole of
the Christian Church is in tremendous disarray and it is, so to speak, a barn
that is fallen apart from neglect, and that it needs to be built up again.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The choice of Pope Francis to come into
his own through the process of selection was guided by us and the Melchizedeks,
and he is our choice for this position. We almost see it as unfortunate that
other church institutions do not have such a formalized and public expression of
selection, though you know from the centuries of history in the Catholic
institution where there were selections that were highly political and
Machiavellian.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In this case,
because of the times and circumstances, the selection of Pope Francis was a
direct result of our influence to bring this into being.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We needed a friendly personality, a
friendly face, so to speak, in the presence of this very, very large
institution.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has a global
network, just as your Presbyterian faith has as well.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This one, as you know, has made an

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>To answer your question
succinctly, in terms of the “Fourth Turning,” as you are acquainted with, the
Christian Church has completed its “unraveling”, and is in “crisis,” and it is
the Christian Church globally [that] has been deep in crisis for the last
decade.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We anticipate that the
events and developments which we are bringing about, without usurping any
self-will of anyone, will have a very highly positive influence on the
reconstruction of the Christian Church globally.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you are doing personally through
these little vignettes is bringing about the commonality of understanding of who
Jesus is.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We care nothing for the
Christian Church as organizations; they are simply cars taking people in wrong
directions.<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>Now there must be a reorientation
of these organizations to the personal Jesus.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not an easy process, nor a slow
one, but one which requires a complete change of culture of all the Christian
Churches.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The work that this one is
doing with the three core values, [quality of life, growth, and equality] are
endemic and innate and inherent to all human individuals — common to your whole
species.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These values and the
concepts of social sustainability will infuse the culture of the Christian
Church as a positive influence that will bring about what we desire as
well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, you see that we are
working in many, many large areas to bring about the health of the Christian
Church.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The Christian Church may, or may
not, of itself become more positive and contributory to the Correcting
Time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, if we can bend it
from a culture which is despotic in some ways, and which is over-bearing in
many, and authoritarian in almost nefarious ways to thwart the progress of many
souls, then we will have made good progress.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As you remember, Jesus said, “Those who
are not against us are for us” or “with us.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Only those who are adamantly opposed to
us will have chosen to be left behind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>They will not be supported as we support others now.<SPAN

intentionally influencing many individuals around the world for positive
outcome.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those people who see this
and follow us will come along; those who do not, or who refuse, or work against
us will not be supported.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There
will be nothing done to cause any harm to them, but harm will come to them

that too.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You think your friend is
resilient enough to last, but he is not.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>He, too, is entering into an existential crisis of sorts, and he will
need to reinvent himself eventually.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>He will either become the concubine of the Church, or he will become an
independent slave of the Church.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He
will become numb if he becomes one, and he will become alive if he becomes the
other.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He has not made a clear
decision about this.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He, too, is as
confused as you have been about his relationship to the Church. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He does not have the belief in the
process that we are using this morning to disclose these truths to you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He knows that revelations exist; he has
revelation, but he is always reticent to accept the truth that would require him
to move on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You, in this case, and
this is our advice to you, is to continue doing what you are doing; continue to
write these vignettes; continue to be his friend—do not try to convince him to
do anything, but let him see the truth.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>He is a hugely intelligent individual and borders on great wisdom, but
still lacks courage.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your truths
will assist him into growing in the ways he needs to grow, or succumb to his
profession.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You must be willing to
release him to his own decisions and his own course of life and his spiritual
destiny without causing confusion to your friendship.</P>

mental illness but his allegiances will need to be made clear.<SPAN

chooses to go with the Church [and] that he disavows many of the experiences
that you have had.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This would be a

be rocked off of your foundation if that occurs in the future.<SPAN
