Melchizedek.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is a pleasure to be
here with you again, and my presence today is to speak to you regarding the
projects that I assist in coordinating and developing.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Machiventa is a member of the
Triumvirate and as you must have noted over the weeks, months and years that you
are getting closer and closer to those individuals of the spiritual realm who
are directly related to the programs that will impact you personally, and your
community and your societies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You
also know that the Triumvirate is assisted by the work of the Most Highs in the
“affairs of men,” in that they are involved in the mortal organizations of your
world to open the minds of those who participate in organizations, their boards
of directors, trustees, and so on, to be open to the options that will lead
their organizations slowly but surely towards social stability and making
contributions to the eventual stability of your planet.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>My work is directly related to
social sustainability and the development of peace—these two go together very
closely.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Another close association
is the development of sustainable family dynamics and the development of
sustainable children from those families.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Another pairing that would be of interest to you is the family in
community; those two organizations begin the development of societal
sustainability through families enculturating children in the tenets, principles
and values of social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Eventually, those will be carried through those children as they grow up
and mature into the organizations of their community and of society.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These pairings are essential for the
development of societal sustainability.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>I wish to report to you today on
the travels of This One to Statesboro, Georgia.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It was quite an eye-opener for This One
to see and experience what he did, though we have known of these difficulties,
which I will speak of promptly.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Most of you are well acquainted with the trans-generational transference
of abuse from one generation to another, that the victim of abuse—which is
usually a child in a family situation—eventually grows up to become the
perpetrator of the same crimes, same abuse upon his/her children, or the
children of other families.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When
you recall the history of racial prejudice and abuse in this nation, you realize
that courageous people came forward such as Martin Luther King, and others, to
bring that abuse and that prejudice to the attention of the whole nation.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not that it just occurred in the
South, but it occurred in all the States and Provinces, but it was more
prevalent in some states than others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

females by their male partners</FONT></U></H3>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Now we have seen recently that,
African-American leaders are now abusing their female partners in life.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This was very clear as three
African-American ministers participated in the workshop and had difference with
the equality of the genders that was mentioned through the three core values of
social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>At one point
they were about to stand up and leave the workshop, when some intelligent
individual stood up and provided a segue for them to remain until the close of
the workshop, which was only a few minutes away.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is very unfortunate to see; this
disparity of equality in the very communities that were so savagely disparaged
and treated abusively by the Anglo-Saxon ethnic groups for so many decades and
centuries previously.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now the abuse
is being projected to their female partners and to women in general.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They are seen by the male members as
“less than” the males and of lesser capability and undeserving of positions of
power, authority and control.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Though that is not shocking to
us, as we have consistently seen this among the white Caucasian nationalities
and ethnic groups, it is most unfortunate to see it egregiously obvious in the
family and organizational structure within the Christian Churches.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, there will be a day of
reckoning by these individuals; they will bring their own difficulties to them
through this harsh treatment of their female partners.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Spirit is not involved in that
correcting process in the lives of those individuals; they will simply accrue
the difficulties that come with abuse and hostility.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>As you may see, and as you may
have insight, we continue to develop our work with the feminine gender, that
these are the individuals who have so much to gain and so little to lose in
their culture and in their personal lives and families by becoming more central
to the authority of their families, communities, societies and the organizations
that support societies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is not
that men will be treated any less than women by us, for that is surely not
sustainable, is it?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Again, you
might have the insight to see that those who are hungry for justice, those who
are hungry for peace, those hungry for social equity and equality and the common
good, that the male gender has enjoyed for millennia, now it is time for women
to come into their full dominion in societies, communities and families, and in
church organizations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The feminine
brings with it so many wonderful qualities that men have latent within
them.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The obvious qualities of
authority and leadership in men now must come into development within women, and
that the feminine qualities that are dominant of caring, tenderness, motherhood,
and so on, which are typical of the female gender, particularly those who have
chosen to be mothers, now must become an equal feature with men—any less than
this will cause friction between the genders in organizations and families, and
as children grow up.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Children are very observant, far
more observant than you know as adults.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Most adults have almost totally forgotten what it was like to be a
child.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is necessary that you
take on the humility of children to learn much about who you are now.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is also important that you become as
children, that you know what it is like to be less than the adults, that you are
not as big, you are not as smart, you are not as experienced and as
knowledgeable, and so you watch and listen.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now, as adults, it is important that you
watch and listen, and to discern what is going on around you.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Each of you must become in some
ways, a Margaret Mead, a social anthropologist, who observes what is going on in
your families and between women and men, mothers and fathers, wives and
husbands, so you can become more equitable in your enculturation of your
children; that you do not automatically assign to girls different roles than
boys, or that you give boys different roles than girls.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is for them to choose when they
grow up, and it is important that you enculturate them now that it is their
choice to emphasize what qualities they want, but that there is nothing
wrong—and in fact, there is much positive in knowing how to do the jobs and
chores and have the attitudes and demeanors of the opposite gender.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>We have mentioned in the past
that our work is culture bending.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Truly it is, and so we are involved in the bending of the family culture,
the culture of men, the culture of women, the culture of children, the culture
of families and communities, as so on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>It is important that we bend the culture of families, communities,
societies, nations and the whole global civilization to one that is in a state
of equality, that there is equal value of each individual as the potential that
is held within them must be developed to maximize the effectiveness of your
societies.</P>

adjustments to organizations, as we are able to through the option development
in the minds of those who participate in making decisions in the formation and
in the social and work environment of organizations.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You see, it is organizations that hold
the key to the stabilization of your communities, societies and nations.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Organizations are the important fluid;
they are the gears and valves and engines that move a society forward.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Of course, within those organizations it
is the people who make the decisions, the goals and objectives and the mission
statements that guide these organizations forward.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These, of course, will be amended as
external forces press upon those organizations, which then must become flexible
and adaptable to survive.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is
most advantageous when those individuals who make decisions have the options for
positive, constructive development ahead of time and can apply those to what
they would call a crisis situation.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>As for the culture of women, you
have seen during the last 80 years, the development of women coming into the
state of equality, as men have had to go into war and as there has been a great
loss of men through war.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Women have
had to come to the forefront in production, particularly during the World War
II, and then the progress that they made would not go away in the later years of
the 50’s, as more women entered corporations and organizational structures and
came up against what they called “the glass ceiling.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This still remains in many
organizations, and this will require new bold imaginations and thinking on the
part of men and women.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In the early
years it took women who had similar demeanors and aggressiveness as men, to
overcome “the glass ceiling” and enter positions of true organizational
power.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is not helpful, as that
seems to perpetuate the male identification for force and control of power and
authority in organizations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It must become the work of women
to soften those gender biases to accept women in more leadership roles.<SPAN

from families, must be given more authority and discretion of making decisions
for families and the communities to be trained, experienced, so that they can
move forward in these organizations to change the culture of your
societies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This may be quite
nebulous to many of you who have not been interested in sociological or
social-psychological developments, history, or dynamics, but these are necessary
things to consider as cultures change.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Truly this is cultural anthropology in “real time” that you are

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Further, over-population is also
a problem in itself because of male domination, the male sexual aggressiveness,

away from this equation. You might not think that global warming is connected to
this, but it is connected because were there fewer people, there would be less

language, but I think that is somewhat I see happening.<SPAN

degree of equality that blacks have achieved, and then a pushback by white

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, you are correct.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are two reason for the pushback on
the part of males, and that is to: 1) Hold their turf, so to speak, much like a
tug-of-war to hold their turf, and the other is to:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>2) Put women in “their place.”<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is less effort and intention on
the part of males that we see in developed nations, to “put women in their
place.”<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Rather the pushback is an
effort to hold the territory that men have traditionally and historically have
always controlled and dominated.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Because, as you recall, the lives of men and women are very short—80
years is a short time—so that they hold to tradition.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Societies and the culture of societies
are long-term and enduring.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So,
when men see the long history of masculine domination over women they sense that
this is justification and rationale for their continued domination of women and
they truly strive to put women into submission again.</P>

important one to make and to think about.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The development of stable, peaceful societies and communities is much
more complex than you may have realized.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>The complexity rests in the system within systems, that your societies
and communities are representative of those multiple systems that must be
thought of as an integral system, that one part affects the others and has
repercussive effects; these can be both positive and negative.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The forward inertia of the mass of your
large communities, states and cities is such that it is formidable to change
that direction, changing it to the positive towards caring and compassionate and
for the love of humanity will be one of the largest culture changes that will
have ever been undertaken for a global civilization of Urantia’s nature.<SPAN

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>The success of the Correcting
Time rests in the innate nature of humanity of each individual, that you were

when individuals at a young age are enculturated with understanding this good,
the potential within each individual will develop in their lives.<SPAN

children who grow up with this orientation towards the goodness of all humanity
and goodness of people are also being tempered with the reality of the social
structures and the mean-ness of life that they see around them.<SPAN

that that goodness can come forward.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

very narrow and often do not support the development of the three core values of
individuals, or of families in communities to improve a higher quality of life
across the board, but only for particular organizations or members of those
organizations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And, this too will
