style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No, they do not, and I would correct you
regarding your first statement that you wish to assist us in the most “direct
route to bring about the days of light and life”—that would be very hard for you
to see or discern because the developments that come about in the Correcting
Time may seem quite circuitous and labyrinthine, such that you would not
recognize the most direct route.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The work of Christ Michael and the work of the evolution of worlds are
usually not direct, meaning the most efficient route possible.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What we use, however, is a different
standard and that is the most effective means to assist the evolutionary
development of societies and of souls on a world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I apologize for correcting you, but hope
that this provides you with deeper insight and awareness of how the work of our
Creators develops on your world.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I thank you for the correction.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In actuality, my question was addressed
because I am wondering what the next step might be, or how do I promote this; is
it a matter of… should I be promoting what some might call “the utopian dream of
society, politics and economics as they exist in the days of light and life, or
should I be more concerned with making the incremental advances of the accepting
of the three core values of sustainability and the changes of our society that
go along with it?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>CHARLES:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your work is as a moderator and that is
to help reveal the development of the programs that we are invoking on your
world so that the course of history becomes more discernable and rational to
believers, those who have faith that God is involved in the evolution of their
world. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are not concerned—and
there is no usefulness in the disclosure of all the travesties and difficulties
of your governments and your politics and economics and social development.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Most people are aware of that and seek
to make sense out of the developments from day-to-day as they view them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you looked at an elephant one cell at
a time, you would not see the elephant at all, but you would see a mass of cells
which make little sense; you see some organization, but when you step back from
that, you see the elephant.<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 so, for many people who are
involved in the day-to-day activities, their lives in this world and the
developments of their societies, makes absolutely no sense and it appears as
chaos from one day to the next.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But
when you step back and you view the flow of events into history, and you project
that into the future as lines of probability, then you begin to see how the
events of today could fit into a probable future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In your case, the revelation that we
seek to disclose is the sensible future, how this evolves so that it makes sense
for our readers and listeners so that they can be more at ease.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet, you and I know—and all of us
know—that some who believe in this process and the good of the world, will
succumb in their lives earlier than others, and so it helps to bring peace into
peoples’ lives to see the larger scale of things, even when their passing may be
imminent.</P>

trying to make that distinction?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Should they be talking to people, or should they be promoting the days of

and acceptance of the three core values?</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It would be the latter case.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>From a personal standpoint, we have
asked you before to project your consciousness of peace and love and harmony
upon the world and then, if you wish, to request the development of right and
perfect order and development of right out-workings in those events that concern
your life and the lives of friends and associates in other nations, for
instance.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you pray for that,
or you see projected consciousness, then that allows spirit to arrange the
future that is supported by your prayers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The days of light and life are not clear in your mind; they are not clear
in anyone’s mind, here on this planet at this point.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The utopian dreams of some may be quite
skewed from what the days of light and life present, and so the consciousness of
seeing harmony and right and perfect action, according to the spiritual
development of this world, is the best option you can take in this case as you
lend your support to the designs of the future without dictating what that might
be.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What are the limitations, if any, for
the spiritual member in a co-creative relationship?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>CHARLES:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are a number of constraints that
exist in the co-creative relationship:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>One is that we are unable to oftentimes communicate clearly with our
co-creative partners—that would be one of them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a deep and ongoing limitation;
that is why we have suggested that students learn how to speak with us in
meditation, to discern the voice of spirit as opposed to the voice of their
mind, that they might be able to have conversations with us to become more
effective.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Further, there is
greater and greater difficulty in communication with mortals as the co-creative
developments of these programs become more and more manifest or palpable, [or]
real in terms that you perceive.<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>It becomes much more difficult
for us to work with you in ongoing projects and programs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us use the example of you working in
a small company:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are an
employee there, (or you could be a co-owner of the company,) and that you would
be asking for co-creative assistance from us in the working of your
company.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, for those who do
not hear, they must use the signposts, or the guideposts of signs, symbols and
omens to see the development of programs as we become involved in them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When they see right action, they know
that they are in the right flow.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>But as the programs become more ongoing and workable from a day-to-day
basis, our participation, our choice is to become as involved on a day-to-day
basis as you are.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus, when we
speak about a co-creative relationship, we are actually talking about a
co-partnering with you in your daily activities.<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 may be quite a stretch for
some of you to even contemplate, let alone strive to achieve.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, this is the reality of a
co-creative relationship.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>On one
hand, when divine plans are made for a project, you participate very little in
it, but then when the programs become manifest and palpable, you become more and
more involved to the point where you are actually moving work around, working on
a computer, working with individuals, having meetings, telephone calls and so
on, and we are left out.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In a true,
well-balanced co-creative relationship, we would be involved equally at those
levels with you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You would not be
so much involved in the planning of all this, as you do not have the mental
capacity or the foresight and wisdom to project your plans into the future in
the terms of decades and centuries.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Therefore, it may not seem fair, but on the other hand it accepts the
limitations you have as a mortal, with the limitations of your mortal mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We, however, wish to be partners with
you in the daily activities of the developments of these programs that we are
beginning to initiate.<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 reasons why we wish to be so
intimately involved is that these are co-creative programs, which were invested
with our energies and our ideas and our plans for implementation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We wish to guide the direction of those
projects into the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just as a
rocket leaves a launching pad, its trajectory is initiated by the program that
has been set into it and the gyroscopes that control the balancing of the rocket
and the thrusters that help guide it in the beginning.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One degree [off] in the very beginning
can result in hundreds or thousands of miles of difference from the target after
a period of time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Therefore, it is
essential that we be as closely involved to the beginning initiation of these
programs as we can, and that we wish to be in an ongoing relationship with you
as they progress.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The benefits are
immense for us and the benefits are immense for you because you grow as
individuals in your own personality and in your trust and faith and knowing of
the relationship you have with us.<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>You will also come to rely upon
us for the wisdom and insights in how to guide your companies, your
corporations, develop your policies and express them; how to direct the course
of your company at all levels, whether it is finance, or people organizations or
relationships with other companies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>So, you see, it becomes more and more difficult in these projects when we
are not involved.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The goal of the
Correcting Time is to directly involve mortals in the experiential process of
co-creativity with their spiritual partners.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Much is learned by us and by you.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Secondly, a huge problem in this
relationship is that there is no experience in our histories, or records, or
archives for this kind of an operational relationship.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are learning experientially as we go,
with you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus, we wish to have
more and more contact with you as we progress.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may find this odd, but this is truly
the case.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The program that Christ
Michael has initiated for the co-creative Correcting Time program on Urantia is
unique to all of Nebadon and to all of Orvonton!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It has been experienced once before, as
we mentioned some time ago, on the Second Superuniverse many millions of years
ago.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus, there are few
experiential parallels that we can use to guide us; there is very little wisdom
that is experientially based for us to use, thus we wish to go slow and
developmentally, to learn all that we can about our co-creative
relationship.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this help answer
your question?</P>

personal life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>After you have your
first cup of coffee, do you pick up your smart phone and talk to somebody else,
or do you sit down and talk to God in meditation?<SPAN

to sit down in meditation, be open for guidance that will come to you throughout
the day.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you are in the
stillness of “no thought” and meditation, with the intention of receiving
directions for this day and for tomorrow and the rest of your life, this gives
opportunity to us to fill you in with what you need to know and what would be
helpful to connect the dots in the future in the programs you and we are working
on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a matter of priorities:
when you are in a co-creative relationship, you need to be in discussion with
us, consciously or in meditation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You expect this of your co-workers or your managers and superintendents

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Some of you have ongoing
conversations with us during the daytime and this is what is needed for us to be
with you in the development of these programs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you simply get an idea and you
go forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As we have mentioned
before, experientially with this one, there was an occasion some decades ago
where he received some insights from spirit about how to proceed and it was five
years later before he finally looked back and found we were not there with
him.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a travesty and a
tragedy in the relationship you have with us.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Some of you still are in meditation
daily, but you are not examining the programs that we have initiated with you;
you are not asking, “How am I doing?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Are you still here?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What do
I need to do next?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is coming

suggest?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Show me the way,
please.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, when you do that
on a daily basis, we can participate in the right direction of those programs,
and this, of course, is what we earnestly desire and need to have occur as we
become much more experientially involved in your organizational programs for you
individually, and for millions of people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

longevity for clues as to what sustained them over time.<SPAN

style="BACKGROUND: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">Mayer Rothschild started
from humble beginnings and was born into the Jewish culture, which had
historically been denied land ownership by the dominant culture. So, long before
they began to focus on finance as their primary means of accumulating wealth, as
a young man Rothschild had a vision, he planned for it,<SPAN

the flow of wealth at the time and proceeded.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="BACKGROUND: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">With the early success of
his “vision” he planned again and began to diversify and send his business plan
into other nations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But he did this
with family, his sons.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am reading
into this now and thinking that part of his far-sightedness was to use his sons,
those whom he could trust to “hold his vision”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Family shares values, and with ones so
closely tied, it is more possible to “hold the vision across generations”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The words that kept coming to me in my
reading were, discreet, diversified, far-sighted and I now add, shared values
and vision holders.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These things
made it possible for them to amass a great fortune and become a stable source of
finance to the heads of state of those and other countries. Much of the
modern history of the world was financed by the Rothschilds.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>No matter how others may view their
wealth, and with what eyes they choose to see their use of wealth, the
Rothschild Family businesses were successful and had
longevity.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am chuckling because you have truly
gotten the insights that we wish to convey to our readers about the
Rothschilds.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The Medici would be
another family where<SPAN style="COLOR: red"> </SPAN>there were some elements or
persons in those families which were not moral, and of course they took immoral
business practices and activities politically.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you are seeing is exactly what we
are trying to establish in the Correcting Time and through the values of social
sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The values of
social sustainability are consistent; they are the values of quality of life,
growth and equality that have sustained your species for well over forty
thousand years, and which, in fact, have prompted your species to thrive.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What has made that a success is that
this is part of the very nature of your species; those drives, those forces are
written into your DNA; they are carried forward from one generation to another,
even when parents do not indoctrinate or enculturate their children with the
values that help them succeed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Thus, you have one element that is completely in agreement with our plans
and our vision for the future.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The second is that there must be
a plan of succession.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you see
that you are moving into an era of sustainability, you want the operation to
succeed into the future; not just for a decade or fifty years, but for
two-hundred years, five-hundred years, a thousand years.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Therefore, the successes, the behaviors
and ideas and visions that lead to successes, you want to enculturate in
succeeding generations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Further,
you want to train those individuals who will participate and assist in the
succession of that sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Successful succession is an action of sustainability that requires the
transference of vision, values and skills — those enculturated necessities that
bring your family, or your project, or your corporation into the future that
have tremendous longevity.<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 missing in most of your
modern cultures, whereas in olden cultures, when there was a verbal heritage, a
history, those were transferred directly to each succeeding generation, as they
had to memorize those histories.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And when they memorized them, they were fully enculturated with the
values and the vision and morals, standards and mores of that whole
culture.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus there was
transference very successfully from one generation to another.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your culture here in the United States
and some other Western nations is not developed for succession or success, but
it is a fact that within decades and [by] the end of this century your cultures
could be in quite disarray and some of them even gone.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thus it is essential that we participate
with you in developing cultures that succeed.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are not so much interested in
nations—they simply provide the plateau, or the platform upon which we can
work.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Our goal is to change the
culture of your world, particularly those that are susceptible to rapid cultural
change, as are those nations now, which have incorporated electronic
communications and processing devices into their cultures.<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 applaud you for the homework
that you have completed; it echoes exactly what we are trying to do on a secular
basis on your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The spiritual
basis of evolution and morality on your world will evolve as individuals seek
higher standards, higher levels of development of spiritual values that last not
just for centuries, but for eternity.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Thus we know that those values, those behaviors and those skills that
transfer longevity into sustainability will come from spiritual
relationships.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We know that because
of how we have begun with you, that this will be a natural development.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have also said that if only three
percent of the individuals and organizations use and participate in spiritual
guidance, then the rest of culture will be guided as well.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Our long-term goal is success and always
is the secular interested in success and longevity.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you!<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, what I’m understanding in this is
that enculturation is what is missing right now, or the passing of history,
values and vision from one generation to another is missing, especially since
our culture and society has speeded up with rapid technological changes.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, the initial vision and early work
that people have, whether it be in business or community work, when their idea
and their vision is good, their intentions need to be cemented in the hearts and
minds of those who will carry it forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If the core values are present, they will give it the potential for
success.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m hearing you say that
being connected to you and to spirit is essential in its potential for success
and longevity.<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>What is missing is the ability
to” tell the story”.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To the three
percent who perhaps have the vision and have the connection to spirit must also
be able to tell the story, or plan for keeping the story going within a business
or community, making those values that were the original intention kind of
tangible to those who need to hold it into the future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then that story needs to be told over
and over again.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN
style="BACKGROUND: white; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.5pt">The seedling of the idea,
the project, the business must be grown with intention and intelligent
planning.</SPAN><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I know that this
is no great “Ah-ha” to anyone, but in reality it takes a lot of time, planning
and effort to actually do it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So,
this is where I am at, on the ground, looking at a community and a culture that
has lost the art of “telling our story,” passing the torch, even to the point of
honoring what came before objectively enough to connect it to the possibilities
of the future.<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>My question is:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How do we begin to regain this lost art
of “telling our story,” so that the work of this generation of visionaries and
laborers is passed on to the next, so that they benefit from our learned
experience, instead of denigrating us for that which we failed to do, so they
may hold onto and build from the values that drove us in the first place and
apply them to the challenges of a new age? </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>How do we apply this on the
ground floor?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>CHARLES:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I understand.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Let us get a basic fact established
first in that enculturation is always ongoing and is always taking place.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It just depends on what is
enculturated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Right now, what is
enculturated in each new generation is less and less likely to assist that
generation and future generations in its sustainability in surviving.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is missing, my dear student, is the
<I>intention</I>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There must be a
conscious, written intention in your social institutions—in every
institution—for transferring the wisdom of success that leads to
sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You can also do
this through a design team; the design team is a very conscious environment that
sets about to fulfill a purpose.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
may be that the design team writes out an intention for its culture.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That may seem presumptuous, but it is
not; it is essential that someone begin.<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>You cannot rely upon the
spontaneous development of an intention to transfer successful enculturation
from one generation to another.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This has ended.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am
reminded of the Native American Indians who transferred their culture from one
generation to the next.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, it is
time consuming, but it insures that your culture survives.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These tribes and these clans saw
themselves as “the people,” and that for their people to maintain their identity
and who they are in their survival-ship, they had to transfer who they were to
succeeding generations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, this is
something that must be done.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It
would be a good project for a design team—a community design team—to begin.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This would be perhaps one of the most
foundational projects that one could ever undertake for their community, for
their society, for their nation and for the civilization.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not something too large that even
one person could not take on, but it works better when there are more, and that
you have people who can assist in your research.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find that the <I>intention for
enculturation</I> could be written for your whole civilization, your society,
and your community and for your own children within only one paragraph, but it
needs to be stated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The intention
must be there consciously, within a society, a community to transfer those
wisdoms that provide success and succession and integrity and are of value to
each following generation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank
you very much for your question.</P>

the inability to tell our story, that it’s been lost in our community just
within our own community needs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>When you said it could be the core project of a design team that really
heartened me.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And you had spoken in

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Along this same line, I’m feeling
a bit of tension between the realities I am experiencing, that it takes time to
grow a functioning, viable, co-creative design team in one community, and the
urgency of time I’m sensing from others in these discussions and in reading
other materials.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have gathered a
group of leaders in my small community, people who are intelligent, skilled, and
of strong moral character.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>With a
group like this, there’s strength and there’s potential for great vision.<SPAN

followers, “come, follow me; this is what we are doing” and then have them
follow, and it’s another to say this to a group of leaders.<SPAN

individuals, that there’s an investment of time needed to get buy-in, to learn
roles, to learn to dialog together, and build consensus and that yields to a
vision and then plans.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yet, I’m
sensing that time is what we don’t have.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

involved in—let me take it piece by piece, if I can—one thing you are involved
in with this group is that you are in the process of team building, of bonding,
and it is essential that members consciously understand the developmental
process that they are involved in, that will give them greater patience in
hanging in there with your team even when there is urgency involved.<SPAN

is essential that it be nurtured by us as we speak, and that you, by asking
these questions, concerning intention and enculturation have hit upon the core
area that needs to be addressed first.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your intentions for your culture, which match the longevity of millennia,

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So, if the intention is broad and
clear, then those projects which come to be developed would match that
intention.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is very similar to
using the three core values of social sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are irrefutable; they cannot be
denied; they exist and thus any projects that you have, any plans that you have,
must be in harmony and supported with these three values.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Knowing that, you know that you are
headed in the right direction.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Next, you must have a vision.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>There are statements of <B>intention</B>, <B>philosophy</B> and a
<B>vision</B>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These three things
are essential to guide all developments that come out of your team on
leaders.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Doing these basic chores
first will guide all the projects later to their right completion.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Projects that come along and are
developed must be validated by those three elements to know that you are on the
right track.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do not be concerned
that it takes time to do these things, even though your intention may be a short
paragraph, your philosophy may be a short paragraph, and that your vision would
be a short paragraph—if those three are in agreement, then all else that
develops will come about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will
find that you do not need to dither too long on these three elements, as each of
these, too, must be in agreement with those three core values.<SPAN

that will lend tremendous validation and support for the programs that develop

that writers try to bring out in their writings that individuals can identify
with, the reader can identify with, and so as this speech is made, within a
