style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, I am here to provide some filler
for these conversations until the awakening of the initiation of the New
Era.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Today, I would like to talk to
you about consciousness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There has
been a good deal of discussion about consciousness in the past, but many of you
have a rather mechanical way of looking at life and the world which is your
principle way of looking at consciousness.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>In the universe it is a mechanical, linear operating sort of system.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you think of consciousness many of
you think of it as a self-observation—being self-conscious.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Consciousness is a thought; it is an
impression on the stream of universe energy.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you have a thought and you project
it, you are in many ways working on the level of an Internet page where you have
a web site and you see the documents there, but there is a meta-language with
meta-tags underneath in a sub-language that carries the form and format of your
message forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<H3 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><U><FONT color=#800000 size=3>Consciousness is
non-temporal and non-dimensional</FONT></U></H3>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So, too, is consciousness
projected as a meta-tag, or a marker, in the message that you are sending.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Consciousness is non-temporal and
non-dimensional and so it is marked by your mind function and it moves forward
that way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is important that when
you are in self-observation that you observe yourself with what you are thinking
and what you are projecting, because you at all times are sending markers out in
the consciousness into the universe around you by your thoughts.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is how we are able to know you, see
you and measure you, so to speak, when we meet you in the morontial realm.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your consciousness is much more visible;
it is as though you had asked your computer when you are in a web site, to show
you the meta-tags underneath the material that you see first.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you are with other people, you
oftentimes have a feeling that they are withholding something, even though they
may be smiling and their eyes are sparkling and they seem to be joyful, you know
that there is something else that they seem to be carrying with them and that
has to do with these meta-tags, this consciousness.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is something in their
consciousness that has connected with you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And even though you are not morontial beings yet, you still, nonetheless,
are in contact through your superconscious mind with the lower levels of the
morontial realm, and this is what you feel.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Another topic:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Sometimes you are very joyful, very
happy, you are elated, you read something that opens your heart.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And when you open your heart that way,
you are in connection deeply with the other realm of consciousness of the
universe, with us.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you have
your heart open and you have that gleeful, joyful, almost weepy sense of feeling
in your heart about something, this is your true self; this is the true motive
of openness to communicate with us.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Your conscious mind is not operating, you are not in a linear mind mode
of cause and effect, you are simply there in the moment.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the state that you want to
attain in your meditations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When
you open yourself to your meditation, you open your heart to us; you are in
oneness; you live in the moment, this precise moment now, without thought of the
future, the past.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In this now
moment, appreciate this feeling within yourself that seems to occur so seldom,
whereas with children who are gleeful, they feel it almost all the time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, when you move into that
childlike state of acceptance and openness, you truly are open to us and this is
when your Thought Adjuster is most easily able to speak with you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Enjoy this moment; try to replicate this
when you are in meditation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When
you enter into meditation and you ask a question aloud, “Father, are you here?”
do so in the joyful moment of living in the now, where there are no worries
about the future or regrets about the past.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you understand?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>(Yes.)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good!</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>So, the heart is an agent of
change and it is the agent that can assist you most with your growth and your
discussions with us.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why
many times when you try to TR, that you have difficulty TRing in a group of two
or three people, because you are intimidated by that feeling of guilt, or
remorse, or shyness, or something with your self-worth or self-image.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But when you enter into that heart
moment of connection with the Father, that moment of joy, you can rely upon what
you hear at that time and you simply let it flow through your mouth.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>Susan:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Machiventa, at my last design team
meeting, I presented my concept of the community organization I had shared with
you here in our last session.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I
presented an organization with a shared philosophy of the individual as a
primary resource, an organization with a mission to support and facilitate the
growth of the individual, and then an initial strategy to build a system within
which we could communicate and come to know each other, our groups’ special
interests and professions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So,
this, in and of itself, would be a big step and require a lot of energy in the
undertaking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The introduction of
the idea did not go smoothly in our group, and so I have several questions that
come from this experience.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The first one is:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I had sent them all a detailed
presentation of the concept to read before they came.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Only one in eight actually read it, and
that one didn’t even make it to the meeting, but interestingly, he met with me
beforehand and was actually pretty supportive and wanted to just flesh out
details.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>My point, though, is that
people such as I’ve gathered here, who are the top one percent of our community,
did not have the will or the time to read and think about it in advance.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, for most of them, I’m thinking that
the idea needed to be presented incrementally, like first, a presentation and
discussion of the philosophy, then a mission and a strategy, sort of like the
design team process is supposed to be, but my conclusion from the experience is
that I—or we—simply can’t present a whole idea, or a design all at once.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For various reasons it is not going to
be well received and it must be presented in increments, if we have a full idea
of our own.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Am I on the right
track?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MACHIVENTA:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, definitely.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are the point-person in your
leadership group and as such, you have a sense of what they can accept and what
they cannot, what they can easily work on and what they cannot.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is important that you feed them at a
rate at which they have enthusiasm.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>If you overwhelm them, then they have difficulty integrating that into
their mind and into their framework, their social framework that they have for
their community.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, it is very
much to your advantage to go slowly so that they can stay abreast of you, with
you, so that they can remain on the same page, that you will not overwhelm
them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They will reject it if they
see this as too much, too soon.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
majority not reading the material is a passive-aggressive signal that this is
more than they can take in at this time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Even though they say they may not have read it, they looked at the page
and formed an opinion, perhaps within less than two seconds, and this is what
prejudiced them against moving ahead.<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 a long-term project and
what you are doing for the rest of your societies is you are devising a learning
history, a wisdom base, a wisdom library, a record of what works and what does
not work in how you proceed, and this is a wonderful program that you have, but
remember that what you see is something that would take almost twenty years to
flesh out.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You could see major
progress within two or three years, with incremental and ongoing social and
community progress through years ahead, but in this beginning era, it is very
necessary that you proceed slowly so that you bring them along with you.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, you have to have great patience to
be the point-person in the work that you are doing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This one has a friend whom he will
connect with you to discuss his program; his program is equally, if not larger
in scope than your own, and he has been working on this for at least a decade
and a half, so his program has proceeded slowly and he is in the process of
establishing a sustainable community program in Mexico.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He will begin with bare land and design
it with his executive team and local citizens to begin the process of
establishing a physical, sustainable community with families and also have an
educational training program and procedures to support sustainable social
processes within that community.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>His program is large in scope and will require millions of dollars, but
he has begun it with an earnest desire to establish sustainable families who can
adopt children, to raise those children in a way that they become sustainable
and can make a contribution to themselves and to their families and their
communities.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>My second question regarding this
experience I had is being the facilitator of a group and being the presenter, or
what you call the point-person, and with a complex idea like this, it didn’t go
well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It seems to me that one can
only do one or the other, but not both.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Is this correct, or is there a way to do both?</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MACHIVENTA:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is correct.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the difficulty that this one
found when he had the experimental group in Evergreen, Colorado in 2007-2008,
where he was the facilitator and the point-person, and also the TR, which
creates tremendous conflict or difficulty, changing from role to role, from
changing hats from one to the other.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It makes rather a miserable situation for you, for the point-person who
tries to do all the roles.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It would
be far more effective if you truly had a facilitator other than yourself, or
someone other than yourself and you could present the ideas, or vice versa,
where you would be the facilitator and you would help the team facilitate the
ideas of someone else.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is far
more effective and the team members learn how to work then, within a team,
because the facilitator provides a training role model for facilitation to the
team.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This eventually becomes
enculturated, indoctrinated or internalized by team members and they begin to
act in their own minds as little facilitators, facilitating their own thoughts
and it also assists in how they cooperate and collaborate within a team setting
more effectively.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your point is
well taken and your observations are correct.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will work on finding a
facilitator.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have so many ideas
that I feel like are things that come to me, that aren’t necessarily out of my…
well, that come to me and I would like to be in a position to share them and
have people discuss them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Being a
facilitator does seem to hamper that a bit, so I thank you very much.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MACHIVENTA:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, the facilitator takes a burden, a
linear or a rational procedure away from you and your thinking, and allows you
as the point-person to be in contact with your celestial sources, while you
present these ideas.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find
that there is a much greater internal synergism that goes on between yourself
and your celestial advisors when another person becomes the facilitator.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>Susan:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Machiventa, you just spoke about the
gentleman in Mexico, who is working from scratch with a sustainable community
and looking at starting with families, and that leads to my third question:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In our last session, you spoke to the
trans-generational fluidity of a functional family being creativity,
inventiveness and the good or right use of wealth and power.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And then you spoke of the more prevalent
trans-generational dysfunction of families in our civilization and the downward
swing that’s happening.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, once
again, my interest was sparked in furthering another idea I had about family
education in our community and a program I have worked with in the past.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I spoke about it in a previous
session—it is the “Step Program.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Something interesting happened recently:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Last September, I was quoted in our
newspaper regarding this program; it was just one sentence in one issue of a
little weekly paper, that few people really read, but last week out of the blue,
a woman in my community came forth and shared with me that she had worked this
program twenty years ago when she was a young mother, and she had experienced

putting my energy towards that, and then there’s this serendipitous, coming
together of people over this other project.<SPAN

too… is there wisdom in initiating and shepherding two projects at the same
time?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I guess I’m asking for

the ability to do this, so I am asking you to speak to me about these
concerns.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Gladly.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>First of all, you must realize the
nature of these two different groups:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>One is your leadership group, which is long-term.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It tends to be very intellectual and it
is working at a long-distance to where it wants to be in the future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, the lady who has come forward
and volunteered is immediate, and this is palpable; this is a service that can
be delivered now that has tremendous value to every young family—and
grandparents—and those who do not yet have children, to help your future
community to become sustainable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This group, this “Step Program” is a valuable item in the repertoire of
community development that moves it towards social sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is immediately helpful because it
assists individuals to think in terms of functionality, of participating
responsibly in a community.<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>If we/you had a choice of where
your energies should be brought to bear, it would be with the immediate group as
there are individuals and families in your community who are suffering within
their family due to dysfunction.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You, as the point-person of the leadership group, can use this Step
Program as a model for the development of other programs that would be
helpful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You will find that
eventually there will be a preteen, a teen program that assists in very similar
ways.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What we are seeking
eventually is that there would be a person who is a facilitator—not a
manager—but a facilitator of supportive programs that are in alignment with
social stability and social sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You, as the one who has the literal
overview and long-term perspective of your community, would know which programs
to support and those which not to, and to then have the means within the
leadership group to bring forward the services that the leadership team can
bring to bear to assist and support those service programs.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your leadership group both provides
leadership for the future, as they are the significant people who have a greater
weight in public opinion and persuasion with your community public, but also,
they represent services that can be used to support those helpful programs on
the immediate level.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Do you follow
that so far?</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So that your leadership group has two
functions:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One is that it is
involved in community planning, but it also lives in the moment, it lives in the
now.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These people also have access
and have powers of persuasion to bring services, or ask other agencies, or
companies, or groups to come forward to assist those service groups, such as the
Step Program, so that they are supported and successful.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you have a disconnect between the
planning and service, then they are not learning what their plans will be doing
in the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For us, all of these
programs, whether we work with you with groups, or with you as individuals, it
is always about training; it is always about learning; it is always about
becoming a bigger person as you gravitate towards the morontial realm of
living.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your leadership group must
not escape into intellectual planning process, but also be involved in the
pragmatics of community support and community stability and sustainability.</P>

spoke.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I was struck by your point
that pursuing this Step Program could be a model for my leadership group.<SPAN

function.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I think my creative
energy to pursue the one has been there the whole time, but it seemed like I

know “what’s next?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In what ways
will the New Era teachings be an up-step from the social sustainability
teachings of the previous era, or can you answer that yet?</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MACHIVENTA:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I can answer that, and we have answered
it in so many words before, but we have taught you about social sustainability,
the intellectual aspects, the attitude aspects, the energy of it, the synergism
of it, the reasons why it is needed and necessary.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The New Era is a pragmatic extension of
those explanations, a means of emplacing that in your communities with your
co-creative participation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When we
say “co-creative participation,” we mean exactly that.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have seen where Susan has been
working in the community and suddenly a person comes forward with an idea of the
Step Program who would like to teach that.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We were involved in that, don’t you think?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, she must now work co-creatively
with us and the instructor of that program to devise places where it can be
taught, and then solicit individuals to come and enroll in the program.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an example of a co-creative
program that is hands-on, it is palpable, it is pragmatic, it is useful and it
is one of the incremental steps of moving a community forward into social
stability and social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It will be interesting in the years ahead to see how this program and
other programs develop that would decrease divorce, decrease runaways from home,
decrease suicides, decrease abortions, and so on, so that we are interested in
improving the social quality of life at the social level for individuals and for
your social organizations, whether that is a family or a business, or the
leadership team, or anyone else.<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>To answer your question quite
bluntly is to move into the pragmatic realm, and that means conscious,
intentional, co-creative participation between the individual and us.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many times individuals cannot hear us,
do not have an open mind to hear us speak to them, though if they speak their
intentions or what they want in their life and how they want to participate,
[if] they say that aloud and they also have a non-interest in
self-aggrandizement, then we will open opportunities for them to say, “yes,” and
move ahead in the direction of their wishes.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For those people who do hear, they need
to sit in meditation once a day to be in contemplation, where we discuss this or
you listen to us, or it can be in the stillness where you are in the space of
“no thought,” where we can download our communications to your mind, and that
you begin to see opportunities around you, to see the synchronicity, the
happenstance, the coincidence of events so that you are drawn in the direction
to fulfill your intentions of the work that you want to do that moves you, your
family and your community towards social sustainability.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a very pragmatic, hands-on
program that we are going to initiate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As you can see, it has already begun with the efforts of Susan in her
community, and we are involved in other communities as well.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You see in this example how there is a
conscious, open, transparent intention to assist the community.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you sit in your living rooms in
your easy chair and meditate and while away the time, having good thoughts about
what you would like to do, but what you see, just like the Quakers do, is that
you need to “pray with your feet.”</P>

conflicts must be answered; they must be resolved.<SPAN

complacency and mediocrity of faith, rather than a hot and sharply honed belief

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I don’t have any more actual prepared
questions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m looking over what we
have just spoken about to see if something wasn’t clear.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There was so much here, and when Rayson
spoke of consciousness, those were direct messages to those of us who are
undertaking these projects and the need for us to go slowly and really
listen.</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I will close our session today with this
statement:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Oftentimes, in projects
such as the Correcting Time, or the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt, or their
captivity in Babylon, the members see this as a test.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you who read these messages are
wondering, “Well, what now?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Why are
we waiting?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is going on?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How do we proceed?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We need direction.” <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, some of you have thought, “Well,
this did not happen; you lied to us.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>But on the other hand, you know that we do not lie.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is better to rephrase your question
from, “Why did you do this?” to “What is it about this situation which caused
this delay?”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Oftentimes, the
delays, whether they are global or whether they are social, or large, or they
are with your ethnic group, or even racially as with the Hebrews, it is a matter
of learning lessons.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have told
you repeatedly that everything that is done here is a lesson.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As we proceed with you consciously into
the future to reform, to rebuild, reinvent, reframe your societies and your
cultures, every part of that for your culture is a lesson; every part of that is
a lesson for <I>you</I>, that there is something going on that needs to wait for
completion.<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>Many times the delays have to do
with the developmental continuum, that a new program will not begin until it has
developmental integrity, meaning that if it does not have integrity, it is
though you have a wheel on a cart that has one segment missing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Every time it rotates, it hits the flat
spot and goes “clunk.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, you
know and we know that the smooth operation of Christ Michael’s programs are
smooth—they do not go “clunk, clunk,” they do not have segments missing; they
have integrity, they have wholeness, they have a system’s approach to them where
multiple systems work as an integral whole system, and so, oftentimes we must
wait until mortals complete their necessary co-creative part of the
developmental plan of the program.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>We have been waiting for this for some time with the New Era, and so it
has not stalled, but it has been on hold until all segments are complete.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Starting a program without its
completion would be much like launching a rocket.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many of you may not be aware that
rockets on the launching pad have clamps that hold them down until they develop
complete thrust, and once that thrust and all engines are operating up to full
power, then the clamps are released, releasing the rocket to lift itself off the
pad and into the air.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If there were
only one of these clamps released and the other side was held, then the rocket
would veer to one side and eventually crash.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The program of the Correcting Time is so
important and so whole, that the integrity of its entirety could be put off
balance by the lack of integrity of a program, such as the New Era.<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>When we speak of the New Era, it
is a global program; it is not just a national program, but a continental
program—a multiple continental program.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>As well, it also operates at the
local level, where it, too, must be whole, complete; it must not have any
missing elements that jeopardize its integrity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When this launches, we want it to launch
fully and co-creatively and as transparently as we possibly can without
jeopardizing its functions in the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You will find that when you hear about this new program as a pragmatic
operation, you will lick your lips and wonder how you can get your fingers into
it.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so, this is what you must
guard against; you must wait, be patient and know that Christ Michael has
designed the Correcting Time as a whole entity that began so long ago, and will
come into its completion in the centuries and millennia ahead.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Think large, my friends, but think also
immediate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Think large as in terms
of being in Paradise in the embrace of the First Source and Center, that most
auspicious event which will inaugurate your entry into the Corps of
Finality.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So, too, you must see
your own immediate life in your program working with the New Era, working with
the Correcting Time in your local area.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>So it, too, proceeds to its completion in the fulfillment of the days of
light and life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a time in
the New Era where the one affects the all, as the all affects the whole, but in
the beginning it will be so disproportionate because the individual will have
such tremendous influence to affect the future of your world and your
civilization.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you and good
day.</P>
