style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Good morning, this is Machiventa
Melchizedek.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your world is changing
rapidly and it is much like the world standing on its feet in the surf; as the
surf comes in and out it erodes the sand around and under your feet
destabilizing your steady presence there on the sand.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is the condition of your world at
this time that the erosion that is occurring through all the negative and
hostile events around the world are destabilizing your societies.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have seen the problem in Greece with
their economy.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This was due to
erroneous decisions, hazardous decisions made some years ago when there was
great prosperity without a thought for the future.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Now they reap those negative
rewards.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Similarly, there is the
tremendous exodus of people from Africa across the Mediterranean into the
countries of Italy, Greece and others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>This is a further destabilizing activity.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This too, is much like the sand around
your feet in the surf; it does not seem to amount to much, until you fall over
into the surf and have wet your clothes completely.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So it is with these two major problems
that they do not seem to be egregious or difficult, but eventually they will be
of such concern that they will have a tremendous impact on the stability—social,
economic and political stability of all of Europe. </P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>These nations have no formulated
policy on how to resolve these great problems.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This points to the imminent fact of
elements that contribute to the instability of your world, if not the
anticipation of the future.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your
nations and societies and institutions were never formed with an underlying
intention to become sustainable, so when these events develop they are new and
they are difficult.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is worse
(or as bad) that makes it difficult is that there is no library of wisdom of
what works and what does not work, to assist political and economic and social
decision-makers how to proceed in difficult situations.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This will be seen in the future as a “no
brainer,” that there must be a base of wisdom of what works and what does not
work to guide the decisions that effect so many people.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are, in fact, a number of problems
in your contemporary societies and their operation that will be seen in the
future as silly—not to have thought about that, and to not plan for a future
with the variables.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>We have spoken before about the
financial instability of your world, even though the rules of financial
transactions and stability have been known for decades and centuries. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>To let the fear and ego of money managers
and corporate heads and banking heads manipulate the funds in such a way as to
cause instability is unacceptable in a society that has accepted the challenge
of moving into social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>These will be seen as simple problems to remedy, but now they are almost
completely out of the awareness, or consciousness of everyone.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is assumed that these problems are
innate and indigenous to the sectors of activity, which is not true.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are assumed problems.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>They must become exposed in the light of
the three core values of social sustainability, and the three core
value-emotions of social sustainability.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Once those values have been exposed to public awareness and to policy
analysts and decision-makers, it will be seen as obvious what to do and what not
to do to help your societies become economically and financially stable.<SPAN

augmentation of the number of Midwayers, and with the Celestial Teachers and the

there is tremendous effort in all sectors to bring your world into a stable and
steady state—and to do this without the evidence of outside manipulation.<SPAN

abrogating a single decision of a single mortal involved in these activities, or
who is not even aware of any of these activities.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The rules of engagement that we have for
working with your societies have come to their most complete stage of
development.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, it has taken us
almost 30 years to do this, but it is worthwhile to do it slowly and thoroughly
so that individuals, mortals of your world learn from these experiences and gain
the wisdoms of what works and what does not work to support a world.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>You—you who are reading these
words and have for years—have come into a tremendous education of planetary
management.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You have been exposed
to what appears to be the passive Will of the Planetary Creator, Christ Michael,
in the evolution of your world, yet, through patience and love and perseverance
and clear vision of what is to become, those plans come about in reality one way
or another, for the benefit of everyone.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>What I am saying is this:<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That when you become Finaliters, you will have the direct experience of a
Creator Son’s Correcting Time plan as a formula for assisting other planets in
the universe that have similar difficulties.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Because Urantia has had the extreme
privilege of being one of the most egregiously misaligned planets in Christ
Michael’s universe, or even in all of Orvonton, you have a set of instructions
and plans in the Correcting Time that will be of immense assistance to you in
almost any place in the Grand Universe in your eternal career as a Finaliter, no
matter what activity or role you play.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>You have seen the worst, you have participated in the worst, and you have
seen it progress and correct itself in time.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Yes, you will have graduated to the
Mansion Worlds long before this world comes into the Days of Light and Life, but
nonetheless, through the broadcasts that you will receive about the progress of
the Correcting Time in the planets that were in quarantine, you will learn a
tremendous amount about Christ Michael’s plans for correcting these
difficulties, and you will come away with a very complete understanding of how
to do that as advisor and counsel in your Finaliter state of existence.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>Roxie:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you, Machiventa.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I have a question based on the last
session when we discussed using music to heal mental illness and elevate the
soul.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am concerned that the music
that our children and teens listen to does not do either, and in fact, may cause
many to rebel from their lyrics and monotonous beat.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Your comments, please, and how do we
overturn such a pervasive part of our childrens’ lives?</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>What you are seeing in this contemporary
music that you refer to definitely does not contribute to the good well-being of
these children and growing minds.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>These are trends which you personally cannot change; they are societal
and they are cultural, and that these too will change with the decades, just as
the music that was seen so decadent in the 1920’s, now seems very passive and
benign, and in fact quaint.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So too,
will the music of this era be seen in the future as quaint, and even primitive
in many ways.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Certainly, much of it
has been a regression in musicology and music theory.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>However, just as there are individuals
who are creative in your world who have devised wonderful musical scores, and so
on, that are helpful to the mental state of balance and peace of individuals,
there will also be other individuals who begin to understand the association of
tones and notes that bring about peace as well.<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 are already aware that much
of the work of Mozart and Beethoven, and so on, are useful, have been useful and
proven useful to assist young children, even in the fetal state, to be at peace
and calm, which is useful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>If one
were to do further scientific research on tonal developments and combinations
that are similar in form, they will begin to understand how to attract, or
develop greater peace in the mind of individuals who listen to it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These influences will have a huge and
rapid influence on the music that develops in your world.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Who would want to listen to discordant
music, when such peaceful music is available?<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Only those who willingly choose to be in
discord with their societies and with the harmony of their mind would choose to
do so, which will of course occur as it does in your societies now.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The influence of positive, healthful
tonal combinations will be one of the most popular cultural developments of all
time.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It will spread rapidly and
dominate your world of music.</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><B>Roxie:</B><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Thank you.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Another concern that I have is the
amount of time our youth spends playing video games that are violent.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Does this cause some of our children to
be violent, or at least “hyper” with their need to have their lives filled with
fast action and activities?</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, as we have spoken about this topic
before, it has a negative effect.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>However, what is most difficult or concerning of that development is that
it takes away the time of the mind to be involved in active, positive,
constructive thought processes, and processes of thought maturation in the
individual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It oftentimes delays
those maturing thought processes until later years.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This too, will pass, but the generation
that participates in this is, as we have said before, in some ways has a
positive effect as it keeps those children, those young adults, off the streets
and out of group violence against their society.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Individually it has a negative effect in
delaying the maturation, and also of implanting negative ideas of
hostility.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Fortunately, most
individuals are able to separate the fantasy of violence in video games from the
reality once they shut off the machine and are required by their parents to
clean their room, or do their homework, or go to their part-time job.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This separation of unreality from
reality of social obligations is an important distinction to make.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>When children and young adults integrate
the video games—whatever the genre—into their thinking and perceive this as
real, and participate in that reality in their mind, even when they are away
from the video station/video game, then you have real problems.</P>

music seen by us as a positive activity, compared to continuing incessant
ideation of violence or sexual activity, or some negative aspect of social
existence.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What you are pointing to
in general, is the empty mind process that is running on its own time and its
own rhythm, without the will-mind being involved in the management of the
thought processes of that individual.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>As we have discussed before, this is a species-wide problem of lesser and
greater extent in individuals.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
process of mind management, thought management, is not new, as it is something
that Buddhists—Buddha, and Lao Tzu, and many other masters have taught for many,
many centuries and millennia.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The
management of your thought stream is vital to your happiness, to your
fulfillment and personal accomplishment, and to the peace of mind that you
develop in your lifetime.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It brings
the individual from blaming others, to managing their own thinking.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Others are not responsible for your
difficulties, or your unhappiness, but that your thought responses to external
circumstances are what make you happy or sad or otherwise.<SPAN

your mind, you change the world you see outside, and then you have begun to

</SPAN>Oftentimes, people who have become aware of their negative thinking

gone astray, or gone awry.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is

yesterday about the number of children from the Western countries that are being
induced to join the ISIS or ISIL group.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Evidently, the children are not getting what they need in their present
situation and are looking for it elsewhere.<SPAN

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We have discussed this in many different
ways, addressing this problem in myriad ways in the past, and this is an example
of an unsustainable society, and example of forgotten children, children who are
left to raise themselves.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There are
no guiding principles for childrearing in your nation and your society.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is just assumed and hoped that the
parents of those individuals who beget children, have the skills to raise their
children to become capable, competent and responsible citizens.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This is simply an assumption, which is
vastly erroneous.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The fact that
there are children who see no hope, or who are so easily influenced to find hope
in violence is not unusual or unanticipated in your society.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What is surprising is the small number
who are doing so.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We would
anticipate that in a society that has become very dysfunctional in some of its
core responsibilities that it does not have more children who are choosing to go
to other locations.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

algorithm for finding all of the references to “love,” in all the Teaching
Mission, Magisterial Mission and other communications that we have given to you
by This One and through many other TR’s.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>That would give you a very replete answer to your question.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I would like to assign you this chore,
to do a word search for “love” in as many of early sessions from Rayson and
other Teachers as you can, and to gather them with the sources of those
references for use by other people.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>I do not assign you this as busywork, or as a way of diverting your
attention from the answers today, but as a means of appreciation of the word
“love” that Christ Michael has given to you through his life as Jesus and
through his Correcting Time, and through his Teachers.<SPAN

question to be almost overwhelming, and on occasion to bring you to tears as
well.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I hope this does not deter
you from your patience with this process, but to remain steadfast and an active
member in this forum.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>

effect upon our decisions, love and concern, care and compassion for you, or our
willingness to work with you in the future.<SPAN

desire to do so, that is wonderful.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

that when you love God and love Jesus and Christ Michael and Nebadonia, and
their hierarchies of Light, and request the whole hierarchy of Christ Michael’s
Light to assist you in becoming more perfect, as God is perfect, in your own
lifetime and in your learning processes, know that you have the support of
everyone, from the First Creator and Source, through Christ Michael on down to
your own Guardian of Destiny to assist you to do this.<SPAN
