something said at our last discussion—I wasn’t present, but you were asked about
the design team format for this NEC forum we have here, and your answer was, no,
that isn’t what was needed.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I was
wondering, could you elaborate on a format for specifics that would help us meet
the needs of this mission better as a team?</P>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>For all of us, both mortals and
celestials, this is an exchange of information.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a common-ground meeting place
where there is not any particular issue or problem to be overcome, but simply an
information exchange to raise the level of awareness so that we are on the same
page.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The mission of this group,
the purpose of the mortals in this group is to be the receptors, the receivers
of this information, and for you to interpret this to our audience.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Through your questions and our answers
and your statements, the audience comes to understand our work on this planet
and the various programs that Christ Michael has initiated underneath the
Correcting program.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>We are not a design team simply
because we are not physically present in a group, you are not present in a
group—this is a telephonic group—and that there is not a common problem that you
wish to overcome, or a new social organization you wish to design using the
three core values and the schematic of sustainability, the team and the team
roles and the team process.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
forum that we have here is vastly different than that.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To think of this in terms of a design
team would be to frustrate the efforts and participation of everyone.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your roles are to be those competent,
capable, cogent and careful inquiring members who ask questions on behalf of the
audience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have questions for
yourself, but we ask you to empathize with your audience, to anticipate what
questions they might have.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
audience has been quite silent for some time, as there is nothing exciting going
on other than the maintenance of the flow and the slow, grinding evolution of
the Correcting program.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This will
change, of course, as you know, and when that occurs we anticipate many
questions from the audience.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Have I answered your question so

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>Susan:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, you have.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’m interested in the fact that you had
mentioned that you would like to see more members in this group.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are four of us now; you had
mentioned maybe 5 or 7 would better serve our needs.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Would you speak to that?</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>Thank you for your question.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We were hoping to anticipate that
question.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, what you have found
when there were only two of you, meaning Roxanne and Michael, is that the
perspective of questions becomes very narrow, and that there was not the
repartee of question asking going on between the two of them.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Then we had three and four and
five.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Eventually, we will have
minimally 5.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What happens when you
have 5 members, four of which are asking questions as the TR tends not to ask
questions, is that you have a rebounding effect between each other, and an
opportunity while you were listening to the question and listening to the answer
to develop another sideways question that helps to open up the topic in another
way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You become much more facile;
you become much more adaptive and flexible and much more creative.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is essential that you be
curious.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you have no curious
members on your design team in your community, then you will have a design team
that will eventually die and will not fulfill its purpose or intent. <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>So, your curiosity of wanting
more information about another member’s question and the answers that comes
through sparks a deeper exploration of the topics.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not that the members had been
inadequate to do this; it is simply that you are not able to think in multiple
ways simultaneously.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your minds are
not structured that way.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
scientists, neurologists and cognitive therapists have come to the conclusion
through their research that multi-tasking is truly not capable in the human
mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You may be able to do several
tasks in rotation, but you cannot do several thinking tasks simultaneously.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Therefore, when you are in stillness,
listening to the question and then the answer, you have the opportunity to
actually, through the four or five of you, to grasp the capacity of the
morontial mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Through your group
you develop the capacity to think in the myriad ways simultaneously as a
developed morontial mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you
for your question.</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>Yes, I would like to speak to that; we
have hoped that someone would anticipate this situation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is occurring in the Crimean area
peninsula is what you will see occur far more frequently in the future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The world powers already saw ahead of
time that the Russian invasion of the Crimean peninsula was a forgone
conclusion, that military invasion, military intrusion or reaction would be
fruitless and would serve no immediate repair for the Crimea.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The alternatives then are diplomatic,
but there must be some means of leverage that enables and empowers those
nations, who are standing by watching this difficult situation unfold, to join
together through their economic means to bring leverage and power and
difficulties to Russia to resolve this situation diplomatically.</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 foretaste of the
diplomatic efforts that will occur—that <I>do</I> occur—in a much more evolved
political and military world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
are beginning to see the three pillars of the structure of a society, the
political and economic functionality work together.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When one of these is out of kilter, then
there must be pressure brought to bear upon the other two supports of that
society, to amend its ways.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>You see the incapable process
that occurred in Syria.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That
situation devolved into. . . [as an aside for us, viewing this situation is far
more than horrific or terrible or catastrophic;] the willful starving of a
nation’s population by its leader is evil to the point of being a rebel of the
universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is a despicable act
by any individual at any level, whether mortal or otherwise.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That regime was supported by Russia and
some other nations, militarily and for their petroleum supplies and for
foodstuffs.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This would have
collapsed long ago had everyone been working together.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you have a renegade nation or two
supporting such horrendous acts against humanity as the Syrian regime, then you
will see the perpetuation of that despicable situation.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>However, as you have seen in the
Crimea, the aggressor is Russia that moved into an area where it felt it was
invited by former Russian citizens living in that area who identified with the
Russian culture and language, and its associations in the past.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Russia’s involvement in Syria, however,
was by invitation of the national leader.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Economic leverage can be applied in either case.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The exercise of these evolving
diplomatic leverages comes with the unification of the world.<SPAN

unification of a world on all fronts, and that is independence.<SPAN

Time to build bridges of integration, rather than blowing them up causing
separation between nations, people, cultures and ethnic groups.<SPAN

integration of your world, it is an exorable process of social evolution that
brings about the eventual maturation of diplomacy, which eventually will affect
all the other relationships that nations have with each other.<SPAN

Syria to help teach you that you are truly in an evolving world, where the
efforts of Christ Michael in the Correcting Time plans is to bring nations
together.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If there is eventually
one common language, there will be one common culture; and, yes, there will
still be ethnic and language groups, but there will be a unified global
government and process of exchange just as there is here in the United
States.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the future of the
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are those who are
isolationists, those who wish to maintain their xenophobic orientations to
others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Xenophobia is antithetical
to the eventual achievement of the days of light and life; therefore, there is
no support for that in our working with you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an untenable form of bigotry
against all others and other countries, yet you see through the three core
values of social sustainability, that you are all in common; that you all have
something in common, and that is the desire to improve your quality of life, to
grow and that you wish to express and enjoy the same equal advantage to grow and

world around you differently than others and the other ninety-nine are seeing
their life situations as difficult, as not acceptable, but they have no sense of
empowerment or sense of capacity or capability—let alone ability—to affect
changes in their lives or their community.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>You are truly at that point of
grinding through the days, but seeing very little progress.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are part of the forward group who is
prepared.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are much like a
fireman in the fire hall: you have gone through literally months and months of
training and preparation, and you stand by waiting.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are waiting for the alarm to ring
and for you to put on your gear and jump on the truck and go to the fire, or to
rescue a child who is drowning in the lake.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are part of our Reserve Corps, who
is in preparation for what is to come.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I must say, dear one, that we have lost many, many, many good people of
good faith simply because they did not have the patience, the tolerance and
forbearance to persevere and to continue on in their faith, even in an inactive
basis; they became disheartened and believed that what they saw around them was
the reality of their religious experience, that this was not to be enacted in
the temporal realm.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>We encourage you to remain of
faith, to not be too invested in an opinion about what is occurring, but to hold
this loosely in your palm as responsibility that here you are a child who is
carrying this coin to the market, given to you by your mother to fetch a loaf of
bread and a quart of milk.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Here you
have in your hand, one coin that is equivalent to two weeks of your father’s
salary.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is your situation;
this is your responsibility.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
have been called, you have responded, you have learned, you have gone through
training, you have invested your life, your being, your faith and your trust in
this proposition that you can effect an outcome in your community.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, we ask you to hold this loosely in
your hand, though faithfully, to carry your mission forward in the eventuality
of time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have yet, in this
metaphor, to go to the store, to lay the coin on the counter to receive the
bread and milk <I>and</I> your change, and go back home with the change and the
foodstuffs that your mother has requested.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have been called into service, you have responded; now you must as
diligently, faithfully remain vigilant to the opportunity that will be calling
you to come forward in times ahead.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Yes, this is very difficult and
there are many good, believing people who have lost faith and lost hope, and
have lost trust, but there is a plan to heal their world and to engage them in
this work.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is very unfortunate
to the program; it does not affect their worth, their soul growth or their
personal reception in the mansion worlds, though they will have a loss of
experience that would make a significant contribution to God the Supreme.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your patience, your forbearance and your
perseverance to tolerate this inaction are primary to your work as a
contribution to your world, to your soul growth and to God the Supreme—and to
eventuality of your world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many,
many people are called forward to be Reservists, to be members of the Reserve
Corps of Destiny on your world, but many have lost patience, and when the
opportunity comes, they actually turn away from this opportunity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have not!<SPAN

forum for us to engage you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You see
through today’s varied efforts the purpose, meaning and intention of this group,
why you have asked for it, why you have been called forward, and why you
participate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You offer us a means
to give voice to the plans of Christ Michael and the development and unfolding
of those plans.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You are
representative of your fellow brothers and sisters in the audience, whether they
are alive now or alive in the future, whether they will be here or not when the

to the fact that they can be of service in these exciting times.<SPAN

watching the game on the floor or field, when you have so much knowledge,
ability and capability to participate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Know that you will be called forward when the time is right and
opportunities arise to engage you with great purpose.<SPAN
