<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">I
will report on the conversation that Christ Michael had with This One this
morning. Christ Michael gave the
assurance that their plans for the Correcting Time have now reached the
implementation stage, wherein individuals and groups of individuals will be
actively brought together to find their commonalities, and that this will last
a period of time from three to five years.
There is an attempt by us, the Triumvirate, and our forces of light, to
quell any major global social, political, or economic disruptions that would
hinder our working to bring this implementation together.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">The
second part of this message is that we have been aided by the recent election
in the United States where those who did not vote for Mr. Trump will be brought
together in like fashion as we are doing globally. This is much like what happens when a farmer,
who has a large machine, harvests the wheat, and then wheat seeds are separated
from the weed seeds, so that you end up with whole and clean seed that can be used
next year. What has happened in this
election, from our perspectives, is the separation of those who wish to recede
into the past and into social, political, and economic isolationism whereas the
future of the world is “oneness with all.”
We know that this election has been most disruptive and you are quite
right that it has taken the animosities to the point of polarization and
heightened them to great levels.<span></span></span></p>

comments that the President Elect has made over the period of the campaign are
being interpreted in one of two ways: A
lot of the statements are being taken literally and my sense is that where
people have done that, become the most upset, and yet, those who are steadfast
followers may, generally speaking, not be taking them literally, but simply
believing that he will do more with respect to those issues than anybody else
on the ticket. Can you give us a sense
of where the truth lies?<span></span></span></p>

you with this. First is that he is quite
a “grandstanding individual,” who plays to the audience. He is bifurcated; he is not schizophrenic but
he is bifurcated in that on one hand, he will play any tactic and say anything
mean or otherwise to gain an upper hand and to bring together those people who
would support him. On the other hand, he
is an individual who has wise business acumen, and so he does what is necessary
to promote his gain. He has offended a
huge population of the United States and the world and has gained the
Presidency because of that. He, on the
other hand, presents some capabilities which would honor his conservative
isolationist supporters.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">What
will be discovered in future months and years is that he has a very pragmatic
approach, also to maintaining his position.
He will soften many of his stances and begin to accept more of what has
occurred in the past as far as foreign and domestic policies. He is what you might call, “his own fan club.” He likes to arouse people by any means
possible, but when he is on the court, as in playing tennis, he is very
aggressive and will do what he can to win each set. What you will find in coming months and years
of his Presidency is that the “system is broken,” and in fact there is no
system to your government. It was
created as a multilayer of linear processes to accomplish the goals of democracy,
socially, politically and economically — and those have run their course. He will be presented with problems he will
not have answers to and therefore he will seek outside influence of other
groups that want to maintain the status quo.
You can be assured that the influences of corporations will continue
unabated and will grasp at any opportune chance to expand their hold on
congressional and legislative processes.<span></span></span></p>

morning. One was that I recently heard
about this “Voter” computer application, and it seemed to me that this went
along the lines of solving one of the little pieces of political puzzle and
that is how to gain information about the candidates—true information and
unbiased. It’s an app for an iPhone that
is probably not accessible to everyone the way that a web site would be, and
they also have to supply the information themselves. I just wondered if it did seem like a
progressive idea. I wondered if you
might have any comments on that.<span></span></span></p>

You are beginning to see the applications, as these computer
applications and other software processes, fill in the chinks that are not
working in your democratic process. What
is missing is a database of honest and authentic information for the public
that is without bias and without self-interest.
You are also seeing that there needs to be improved Internet and
computer services for greater citizen input to their governmental processes on
a daily basis, or even on an hour-to-hour basis if a person chooses. There is obviously a great need by the public
that needs to be filled for their ability to communicate effectively with their
public executives, whether those are elected or appointed. There has not yet been provided a means for
these bits and pieces to come together into an organized and integrated whole
that supports the interests of a democratic society and nation, and also serves
the interests of individual citizens. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">These
are all pointing to the future, which will come about. What will necessarily develop is a process
that is without bias, without self-interest for its own preservation, but
serves the larger goals of society and particularly for future generations in a
democratic society. There must become an
evolution of the democratic process to fulfill this. There are enough constitutional allowances,
privileges and rights for these processes to come into being without violating
any constitutional political processes, and there are enough reasons to do so
without violence and without social, political, or economic retardation. You will see many more of these innovations
come forward to assist your democracy. Also,
there must come forward someone who can make sense of all this and apply this
to the larger realm of democratic governance and citizen participation.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Craig:</span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> My other question is totally unrelated to the
first. I was wondering if we might get a
small clarification of something in <i>The</i>
<i>Urantia Book</i>, based on change in the
meaning of a term, since the book was written.
The book says that, the Carboniferous was the “Age of Frogs,” back in
the evolution of life, and at the time that the book was written, there was no
term for class of animals between fish and reptiles. The term “amphibian” was used to denote
anything that lived in water and on land, including turtles and seals, and that
changed in the 1960s—I sort of remember when it did—and it came to be the term
denominating the class of animals that lays eggs in the water between fish and
reptiles. I was wondering if <i>The Urantia Book</i> today, and especially
in light of the fact that no fossils recognized as being frogs exist before the
Permian Period—none found so far—that maybe <i>The
Urantia Book</i> if it was written today would have termed the Carboniferous “The
Age of Amphibians?”<span></span></span></p>

was based on information or data that was not complete at the time. It was the best effort of the celestial realm
using the database of human understanding that would convey the intents of the
book in its revelation. It also points
to the fact that readers who are discerning have found that the book is not a
complete record, and that there are many parts missing, and many that could be
corrected and would be in the future. We
have said this before that it is not a perfect instrument of learning, but that
what it portrays to be at the time it was written and published.<span></span></span></p>

happening. It is not fully accurate in
that it is incomplete, but it is a fair description. What will come out of this through our
influence in these next years is a closer examination of the reasons for
holding back, or not going forward. You
know from <i>The Urantia Book</i>, as well
as anyone, that globalization is the trend of the future, that it is a trend of
bringing oneness to a disparate and separated world, and that the difficulties
of bringing about this oneness is immense to those who have benefitted most
from their own isolation in the past. We
do not call them “dinosaurs of thought or culture;” we see them as a positive influence for the
future to examine what works. <span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">It
is important that that question be fully examined and analyzed to assist the
future to go forward constructively.
When those questions are asked, “What works?” it is not pointed to
fixing your problems, but it is pointed to separating the problem from the
larger situation that most of society works quite well. There are problems involved in a society that
is evolving and moving forward with social change, technological change, and
tremendous growth in education of the population, in a population that is
separated by education and by socio-economic levels. It is important that those who are willing to
move forward to have a more integrated society not separate from those who want
to hold back, but to respect them for the willingness to adhere to tradition
and the culture that they have known for a long time. <span></span></span></p>

revolts only tend to make the sides more separated. You have only to look to the Middle East with
the Sunnis and the Shiites, whose groups continue to embattle the tragedies of
history and bring those tragedies into the future with continued animosities
towards others. It is our attempt in
these interim peaceful times that I mentioned earlier to bring about an
understanding of the commonalities that bring harmony, social stability and
social evolution that benefits everyone.
The tremendous economic disparities of your world present you and us
with the opportunity to redefine wealth and to assist in the processes at the social,
national, and global level where the distribution of wealth benefits everyone,
and still allows for tremendous innovation and growth and accumulation of
wealth in more positive ways. I
apologize for going astray from your question, but these seem to be all
relevant parts of the answer.<span></span></span></p>

protectionist tactics to ensure that the young democracy that began in the late
1700s and early 1800s was able to become established and not overturned by a
large uneducated and understanding rabble population, and they were at the time
a rabble population! These are people

nation is far past those times. Now,
those antiquarian aspects of your democracy are holding back the enjoyment of
understanding of a more functional democratic process that takes social
evolution into account. Those
antiquarian means now are being used by those with money and power to enjoy an
opportunity that would be absent if those antiquarian aspects were
removed. We do suggest that there be an
interest in examining those antiquarian aspects and having those removed. Yet, on the other hand, the democratic
process as it now exists does not have the “umpf,” the power, the leverage of
the people to make that happen.
Therefore, this amalgamizing holistic integrated process as a new
evolutionary process of democracy is one that would make that possible. I am not going to reveal further about that,
but leave these developments to come about in time as you will see.<span></span></span></p>

as you and others know is a voluminous document which gave advantage to the
government in case of terrorist attacks.
However, there is within it the “latent seed of tyranny,” of the
exercise of government to make a police state and martial law possible in times
of emergency. It does give too much
authority and power to the decision-making of a few that which could be used
for their own advantage and to the immense disadvantage of a prospering
democratic nation. This is something
that has been formalized and existed before in the discretion of executive
offices to put down revolts and so on, as you saw during the 1920s and 1930s
and in the 1950s and 1960s during the riots in the cities. Isolated use of martial law tactics and even
military control of society is necessary in isolated situations, and in
isolated geographic areas. It becomes
most egregious and very destructive to the good working order of a nation when
it is applied nationwide; then you will see what occurred in Germany, those who
want to adhere to that process and those who must escape.<span></span></span></p>

Some people identify the Illuminati as making that possible. You are in error in the formation of your
question, however, and that the development of the corporate influence was due
to the profit motive of corporations.
They have a very clear and distinct mandate, and that is to make a
profit, to earn money and to send that to their stockholders and to grow the
company. However, there is no known
intention for government; it is a very confused situation for those who are
elected and those who are appointed.
There is no clear mandate or intention for the existence of government
in that if you looked at government, it is there to maintain the good working
order of a democratic society. However,
what is missing is the visionary leadership that is necessary to bring that
society into an organized, purposeful future, for future generations. Were there such a mandate for government,

The second stage of democratic development occurred in the last 240

existence. What now must occur is the
evolutionary development of the third stage of democracy so that it has

revelations of the need for a global organization similar to that of the United
States. You have 50 independent states
within the federation of the United States nation, and so the states operate
very independently, but there are commonalities which must occur among all the
states, and that is a means of sharing revenue through taxation with the Federal
Government and State Government, a means of communication, a uniform language—though
secondary languages should be supported—and an economy that works, and laws
that are universal, and so forth. The
main problem that is occurring within nations is the adamant resistance to
Desovereignization, as Richard Buckminster Fuller spoke about in his book, “Operating
Manual for Spaceship Earth.” The problem
with sovereignty is that the rules of sovereignty seem to be becoming stronger
in some cases and more porous in others.

sovereignization of nations is causing difficulty within the European Union to
resolve the problems of the migrants. I
use these two examples together because they point to the need for a
federation, as you speak of. The economic union of Europe did not go far
enough; it is still in a novice beginning state where no one has seen the
necessity of the evolution, or has planned those stages of evolution for the
Union. It is an economic Union. However, there is a necessity of union beyond
economies that must be used to join people together; some understanding of its

answers a deeper question and this is important for you as individuals, and for
your thoughts about your world and your own personal spiritual ascension, and
it is this: Providence works by the
coordination of Thought Adjusters around the world. It is guided by the Planetary Thought

mind, and that when you submit your will to God, where you release the direction

to do God’s Will, that gives permission to your Thought Adjuster with other

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">This
is truly the advanced state of the Days of Light and Life, but on an individual
level. You have seen people who have
released their life to God and to doing God’s work, and do not strive in their
life, but nonetheless live lives of happiness and fulfillment and contentment. This is the way that it is to be when life is
settled on a planet that has come to that age, and it is so for millions of
individuals. In your world now, this is
so difficult because there are so many people, and it is difficult to live in
peace, and it is difficult to make an intention to live in peace. The opportunities that people see are
oftentimes very narrow. However, when
they release themselves to God, they also give themselves a far broader horizon
of opportunities to experience when those opportunities do enter their
lives. I hope this answers your
question.<span></span></span></p>

additional ones?<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">Craig:</span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </span><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> </span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> I was thinking:
There’s a group of bankers that meet in Basel, Switzerland every year, and
there’s the Bilderberg group of very powerful people that meet every year and
they talk about what they want to do to the world or with the world.
These people with these intentions, they cause a lot of things to come about. I
believe that they are effective because of the drift of civilization, or
whatever, the lack of other intentions within society. And I am thinking that
we are being asked to have individuals come together with intentions to do
things that evolve democracy, that evolve society. So, these people that
cause all these huge effects in the world, there are a very small number of
them, so are we saying that small numbers of people coming together for design
teams for evolution will probably have great effects, because the people with
intentions cause a lot to happen, whereas the rest of society just goes along
with whatever is happening? That’s just a thought.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">MACHIVENTA:</span></b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif"> That is a good thought as well. You have come to a larger perspective of what
is occurring, that those with intention have given themselves purpose and goals
to achieve, whereas those who are just dithering about in life making a living,
trying to make ends meet without having an intention for their life, or an
intention with other people, give themselves over as ready victims to those
with intention. It is important that
small groups of individuals come together to find commonality and to define an
intention for coming together in what they want to work on. When they have that, then you will see great
progress.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">You
have opened the door to much insight into the problems of societies, whether
they are democratic or otherwise, that there are many people who do not
understand the intention for their life, or for their community, or nation, or
for the world. It is important that you
as individuals begin working on an intention for your democracy: social,
political and economic construct of your democracy. What would that intention be? If you come together with individuals in your
community, you must think in very broad terms that would be historic way into
the future. What would be the intention
that you would want to have for a democratic society? When you begin doing that, you will begin to
form a vision, and then you will begin to form an operating philosophy that can
be used by individuals and by huge organizations, one that brings a unity of
thinking and living and purpose to your activities. I thank you for your question; that is very
intuitive in many ways.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:arial,sans-serif">This
is Machiventa as a representative of the Triumvirate here on Urantia, we thank
you for your time today, and we thank you for the thoughtfulness of your
questions. It seems quite evident to us
that the disruption of the normalcy of your nation and your political and
economic situation has given you time and reason to think about deeper issues
and questions. You have begun to unlock
the key to the future by asking questions, and by doing so, you will begin to
find purpose in your life, and your existence as groups of individuals. We whole heartedly support that work: You must have purpose as a society in order
to come into the competitive field with large organizations that are purposeful
and have intention in what they are doing.
Until then, you will simply be more of the modern day rabble without
direction. Thank you.<span></span></span></p>
