style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good morning, this is Machiventa
Melchizedek. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a pleasure to be
with you today.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Many developments
have come about since the last time we spoke, and particularly in the last
month.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We are now in the midst of a
rapidly developing field of events—we see them though you do not—you may not be
aware of what is occurring; the world may seem placid and the same to you, but
from our perspective there are many developments now in process.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is one of the protections you have
as mortals who learn by experience and if you were aware of all these things,
then you would project expectations and anticipations, anxieties, worries and
concerns about what is developing without the capacity to control them, amend
them or change them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
situation, without this kind of vision requires you to live in the moment, to
make decisions in the moment without regret about the past or worry about the
future, but to make the best decisions now, in this moment, to bring about the
best outcomes for the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Were
everyone on your world to do this, your world and civilization cultures would
change within one generation.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>MMc:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you very much.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I’d like to pick up on what was
discussed in our last session, and upon the question you gave to me:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is it about our species mental
health that is so desperate in your opinion or your wisdom?</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>Your mental health relates directly to
my opening statement today, that you are unobserving of what truly is going on
around you, and that you worry and cause so much concern for yourself, which is
almost completely avoidable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What
is so desperate about your species is that your DNA that controls the software
development of your mind was tinkered with many thousands of years ago in the
laboratories of Caligastia and others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is most unfortunate.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The only way to remove this effectively is by three methods:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>One is by choice, choosing not to think
what you think; the second is to not pass this defect onto future generations,
your next generation, meaning your children, many mental defects that are within
your personal family history, or that of your partner’s.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<H3 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><U><FONT color=#008000 size=3>Personal
responsibility for our progeny</FONT></U></H3>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It is important for the
sustainability of the human species as a civilization that each person becomes
personally responsible for their progeny, what kind of progeny that they
produce.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If there is a high
likelihood that your children would inherit your obsessive/compulsive or other
mental defects, such as schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders, which are directly
related by gene transmission to the next generations, then children must be
educated about this before they come into their sexual era of their life, and
particularly within the era that they would want to bring children into the
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is responsible to make
that decision early and have them made so they are unable to produce
children.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Unless they are willing
to make that sacrifice of themselves they sacrifice the future life and
happiness of their children.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The third method has to do with
mental health programs that are efficacious.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We see that there are very few
therapeutic modalities that are effective to deal with these problems.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Talk therapy is virtually
ineffectual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Other means of
alternative medicine do provide efficacious therapies for changing the thinking
patterns of the individual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
pharmacologies are currently self-serving, though they do help individuals adapt
or cope to their situation, and to allow them to become more functional in
society.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is remarkable is that
pharmacology seems to be far ahead of the psychiatric therapies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is an anomaly and it is promoted
principally by the fact that there are so many mental health problems in
civilization on Urantia that providing an efficacious medication is highly
profitable.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Psychiatry is able to
weigh and measure the changes that these medications produce, but in almost all
cases they are not permanent, which is most unfortunate.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The penultimate desperate
situation of your species is the fact that so many people are unaware that they
are defective in their thinking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>What is so desperate on Urantia is that most all of your populations take
for granted the anomalies of thinking that are unproductive, self-defeating and
ultimately harmful for themselves, their family and their community and society
at large.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is our hope that by
bringing this topic into discussion, we can begin to open this topic to a larger
audience and to give practitioners of psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic
medications greater insight into the problems that exist with your species.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>One field of endeavor that has
been perhaps most productive of all, is the inquisitive mind that seeks
spiritual resolution or peace and harmony in their mind.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not just intelligent people who
desire to have peace in their life, but when individuals become disturbed, they
become aware that they are disturbed, and that they seek solutions.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You know and we know many instances
where a person is so much aware of their own psychosis, for example, that they
have chosen to commit suicide rather than endure a life that is psychotic in
many ways, and an aberration to family peace and tranquility, that they have
chosen the only possible way that they can remove themselves from that pain and
agony.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is tremendously
unfortunate; it is surely a loss of tremendous potential with individuals who
chose that course.</P>

desperate about mental health in your species is that most people do not know
that they are separate from their mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

body.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When you have this kind of
monolithic thinking of “one person, one being” in all planes of existence, then
it is nearly impossible for them to be effective in their conscious spiritual
growth, though of course, individuals learn lessons and add to their soul growth
through their service and through making ethical and moral decisions correctly,
and learning from their mistakes thereof.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The continuum of consciousness
begins when a person realizes that they are not their body, and this is typical
of many people, and then there is yet a smaller group who realize that they are
not their mind, that truly they are the will-self of their being, and that the
will-self must take command of the mind-self and choose and teach the mind to
think and what not to think.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Even
before that self-observing situation occurs, many people realize that through
habit and repetition of ritual that they can change their thinking and their
behavior patterns.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why
people have affirmations in front of them, why they hear subliminal affirmative
tapes or CDs that are spiritual in nature, to re-imprint their mind, to give it
a new positive way of thinking.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Quite metaphorically, doing these rituals and affirmations hundreds and
thousands of times, pounds into the mind a new way of thinking that overrides
the way of thinking that was enculturated within them by their parents and

modalities of mental health which are extremely and incredibly efficacious:
there is EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) which uses the
rapid eye movement to remove or amend negative thinking and particularly past
events that generated negative thinking and self-image and self-esteem
problems.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The other modality is
PSYCH-K (Psychological Kinesiology).<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>PSYCH-K uses methodologies of body movement and positions to re-imprint

</SPAN>When you take into consideration the Tibetan Buddhist Monk, and the

</SPAN>The desperate situation of mortality of your species on this world is
that most parents are not even aware of their own inner/intra-mind landscape and

when you become responsible of this, then you have every possibility of growing
into the fullness of your being as a mortal in preparation for your separation
from this lifetime and entering the morontial realm.<SPAN

responsibility for the whole of your life is immensely important.<SPAN

</SPAN>How you react to that is <I>your</I> responsibility.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoBodyTextIndent>It is unfortunate that on
your world, so many bad things happen to good people, but how those individuals
interpret what happens them is their responsibility, and that is why some
realize that bad things do happen to good people, and they shrug it off and move
on as just a happenstance that was unfortunate, that they truly believe in the
benevolence that is in their relationship with God, their Thought Adjuster and
in Christ Michael’s universe.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Personal responsibility is very weighty if you have worry and fear in
your mind.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>That is why living in
the moment to make right decisions assists you to weigh and sort and discern
what to keep in your life and what not to, and to proceed in your decisions and
your perspectives and your interpretations in a way that brings about greater
good and joy into your life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

the 40% is a most incredible percentage, considering the conditions of your
world.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In fact, it speaks greatly
to the connection of those who feel this way and to the Source and to the
connection that they already have, consciously or unconsciously to their Thought
Adjuster within, to the God presence within, the Source of all love, compassion
and feeling for all of you.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We
bless you as you think about these things and as you choose your life, how you
react to what occurs around you, and to how to resolve the errors that you made
for yourself in the past, which now weigh upon you and cause you such tremendous
difficulty.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If you are open to
opportunities that can guide you to remove the weight of those errors, we
