<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek
and welcome to another day. As you can
see from the developments and events around your world, that there seems to be
no shortage of crises that need resolution, particularly from a peaceful
position. The antagonisms of old enemies
and those who are new have brought your world to another brink of
difficulty. I would not say the brink of
destruction but a brink of another difficulty.
Your world is quite an interesting and unusual planet to observe and to
manage. I use the term “manage” quite
loosely today as we are in the early stages of corralling or bringing together
the forces of good that can work for the best long term results of healing of
our planet—your planet and our planet.
We know that there are many people who are interested in the good of the
world, and yet it is those very few people who are in control who seem to be
using the world as their chess board for their personal movement of power, authority,
and control.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The average individual who lives in those communities
whether it is Vladivostok or whether it is in Baltimore or in Tokyo or
elsewhere wishes for peace and wishes that their leaders would bring about
peace. Rarely do individuals at the
local level understand why there seems to be a necessity by those in power to
vie for control and to be in opposition to others. We are seeing egoism at the planetary level
being played out as though they were neighbors throwing rocks at each other
across their fences, whereas in fact the fences do not exist in your world and
the rocks have become missiles.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Assessing your minds and
options<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are in great appreciation thankfulness that you are here
today attending this session with us. You
are in many ways on the planning commission for the healing of your world. We use your minds, your thoughts and your
times in meditation to be with you in intimate contact to assess your life,
your world, and the options that you think that you would like to exercise to
assist us. Planetary management will
eventually be seen as a personal endeavor, and that everyone is responsible for
their contributions to your world and to how the world can assist the
individual. This may seem like some
aloof, distant, idealism but in fact today this week, this month, these years
we are intimately involved with the daily practices of planetary management and
how to bring about the good of the world.
The plan for inhabited planets is for the good of all concerned—for the
benefit of the universe to have as many individuals grow into the fullness of
their soul and to make contributions to themselves, their world and to the
universe.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Roxie:</b> It seems that our country was making progress
in our race relations for equality during the Obama years, but now I sense a
definite slipping backwards. How do you
see it from your greater perspectives?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> We have really no comment that would be
political in nature. What you are seeing
is the reserved prejudice and bigotry that has now seen a permissive
environment to release their hostility. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">What is missing is a
Melchizedek School of Planetary Management<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Craig:</b> It has always struck me as odd that we seem
to get these leaders or rulers that seem to want to involve us in more trouble
than there is any necessity for and that they be one of the challenges to keep
those people out of power and somehow get the people who are more interested in
peace, in the environment and good working relations into power. Is that an observation and how might we go
about that?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> I can deal with your statement, thank
you. What is missing is a Melchizedek
School of Planetary Management. This
would include the process of leader selection.
It would become an adjunct to your political process. It is important that leaders begin to take on
a much larger perspective of their place on the planet. The problem of the sovereignty of nations
will not be resolved quickly; it will not be resolved soon. Yet, there is a way of dealing with
sovereignty that is outside the boundaries of each nation, and that would be to
have a school that teaches Planetary Management, as I mentioned, but one that
would see sovereignty as much the same way as you see the 50 states of the
United States, [and] that the world would eventually become a Federal
Democratic Republic, that each nation would have its own sovereignty, but there
would be a co-responsibility between and among the states or nations for the
management of the planet. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is required to support that is a larger-than-life
perspective of leadership, one that leads nations and citizens into a sense of
oneness with others. What has been
missing with the European Union is a sense of otherness that is “us.” When you see “us” as others and others as
“us,” then you realize that we are the totality of all people, that there is
then less of a division of “us” and “them.”
“We” becomes the “we are all in this together,” and that “we are
responsible for the peace of the world.”
Peace within our own sovereign boundaries and peace within the
world. The perspective must be broadened
beyond the boundaries and this must be taught in the new public schools of all
nations, that there is a responsibility to the higher good of the world by
being cooperative. Individuals and
nations can surely have their unique identity and their own cultures and so on,
but this must give way to a peaceful world by accepting others as you accept
yourself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Is the United Nations viable
as an organization?<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MMc:</b> Are you able to see this through our present
organizations, the United Nations, or is there going to have to be a new
organization that comes into the school—to promote the school?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> This is not about organizations; this is
about a change of attitude, a change of appreciation. These changes can be made within existing organizations;
organizations tend to see themselves as isolated and unique and alone, and that
even within the United Nations, there is a separateness that is inappropriate
for an organization that represents the amalgamation, the confederation of all
nations. This can be done within
existing organizations. What is required
is that leaders begin to lead those organizations into a much broader, global
perspective of their position in the universe and they then become teaching
organizations. Right now, the United
Nations and many other similar organizations are governing and mediating
organizations to try to bring about peace.
Yet, as we have said repeatedly, peace begins in the home; peace begins
as a teaching, instructional module within the family and within the community
and within public schools. It is not
about indoctrinations; it is not about mind control and so on. Those statements are made by those who are
defensive and wish to be in opposition to a broadmindedness that includes
others as you include yourself.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MMc:</b> You said that what’s needed is in a school of
planetary management. Will we see such a

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Problems with the expansion
of society<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I have a couple of questions from my friend,
Jeff Cutler. His first question regards
the book, <i>Breakdown of Nations </i>by
Leopold Kohr. He says the author postulates
that when a society expands beyond a certain size, that its problems increase
geometrically while the human ability to cope with those problems grows only
arithmetically. If this is true, should
the social sustainability model take this phenomenon into consideration?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Most definitely. It is a means of addressing growth within a
nation, within a society to match that exponential growth. If you do not have growth of thinking and of
attitudes and assumptions, then the external growth will dominate that
thinking. Continue, please.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">The smallest effective size
of an organization<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> Where in the model should a discussion take
place as to the smallest effective size of an organization?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> That would be determined by the 7 values. That discussion must take into account the
quality of life, capacity of growth and adaptability of individuals and of
communities and societies, and for the equal treatment of all individuals. When these organizations surpass their
capacity to have empathy for those individuals that they are to “serve,” and to
have compassion for them, and then to act in love of humanity as they would for
their own organizational existence, then you will have a matched system of
growth and adaptability of organizations that serve everyone in a more holistic
approach. The difficulty of that
equation is that it does not take into account the uncontrollable human
population growth. The formula itself is
correct, it is something to think about and it could be used for analyzing
current situations. Remember that the 7
values dominate, or need to be infused in that formula to end up with answers
that are workable. The difficulty with
the formula is that it is intellectually advanced and surpasses the capacity of
your societies and your civilization to make the correction to where the
formula works for them for the future.
Do you understand?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I do.
Thank you very much. So he asks,
“Is this book an appropriate inclusion in the proposed curriculum reading that
we are proposing to these colleges about the curriculum of social
sustainability?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> It is one book of many that will need to be
included. One must, in an academic
setting, must not get too carried away with intellectualizing the pragmatics of
what is needed for your world to adjust.
There is a certain idealism involved in this work, which is akin to
accounting—accounting of numbers and formulas, and so on—whereas the human
factor is not included in that. If this
academic practice of social sustainability and understanding were taken to an
intellectual level, then there would be great difficulty for its application at
the local level, families and in public educational settings. You will find that this may occur much as
economics is a highly intellectual field of thought and development, yet it can
be used to examine the fundamental levels of existence for the individual, and
in that there can be changes to public policy to make economies more livable
for individuals. We surely do appreciate
Mr. Cutler’s efforts to work in educational settings, as this is one of the
primary areas that we will be pursuing in the implementation phase.</p>

Leadership<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I would like to go back to this idea of
Melchizedek Schools for Leadership. Is
there a plan in place to implement one of those on this planet in the near
future?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes, most definitely.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> Is there anything that we can do to assist in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes, there is. Please continue.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I can see that it would take a lot of
manpower organizational work and I can almost envision how the first one could
perhaps come to fruition, but it’s a little bit fuzzy in my mind yet. I’m wondering if there is something that we
can do besides meditation and prayer. Is
there some action that we can take, either singly or as a group to bring one of
those into being?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes, most certainly. The work of Jeff Cutler at the university
level is an appropriate place to consider inclusion of these thoughts. It need not be called a Melchizedek School in
a university setting as that probably would not go over too well, but the
thought of social sustainability as a process that can be applied to planetary
management and to the development of peace surely would be included in an
academic program of social sustainability.
This is a natural development, don’t you think, because the planet is
all there is; there is not any larger social organizational setting than the
planetary global setting. National
settings have self-interest, but a global setting has the self-interest of the
whole planet, therefore, when schools of economics and politics and sociology
begin to include the thought of planetary management they will have reached the
outer parameters of their thinking and application for their professional
work. Do you understand this?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Would “planetary management” be
more acceptable than “social sustainability?”<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I am going to have to spend some time
thinking about that and perhaps adjusting the parameters of our
presentation. It seems as if our
universities are all about how they can get funding, and how they can acquire
students, and so when we make a presentation to the universities, that is
foremost in their minds—how can we sell this, how can we get grants for this
class, how can we move this forward to benefit the whole of the
university. I’m wondering if courses on
Planetary Management or the concept of planetary management wouldn’t be more
interesting to these university people than social sustainability.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes, you are correct. Just as Harvard and Yale and the primary
universities have schools of this and schools of that, as the Slone or
Kettering Schools of Economics, for example, you could have the “Cutler School
of Planetary Management.” It is a
moniker that can be applied to organizations, a university, or a school of
thought that would attract many people to see what this school is all
about. Social sustainability is a rather
bland sort of topic to discuss, but when you have someone sponsoring a school
at a university, then it takes on a different meaning; it takes on a certain
competitive comparison between universities to have something similar. The point is well taken and thoughtful, thank
you.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="color:rgb(112,48,160)">Ongoing revelation<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Craig:</b> I have a question about Urantia organizations
or associations. It is to try and
clarify what we talked about last week.
It sounded like before we were trying to include all the <i>Urantia Book</i> readers, whether or not
they were associated with channeling or even believed that it is happening. Now it sounds like we are to move ahead and
associate with each other not only as <i>Urantia
Book</i> readers, but also readers who are involved or sympathetic to
channeling and all the new revelation that’s going on. That’s sort of leaving behind the channeling
deniers, or whatever you want to call them.
That’s a new direction in a sense.
Is that correct?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> I would like you to think of revelation as a
train, and that this train of revelation does not stop; that there are
individuals, organizations who have chosen to leave the train; they do not wish
to go forward with revelation to discover greater dimensions of the human mind—how
their relationship with their Thought Adjuster, with the organization of the
universe, or their personal relationship to their Thought Adjuster, to their
guardian angel, to Christ Michael, to Nebadonia and to the celestial realm
around them. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rather than leaving them behind, they have left themselves
behind; they have left the train of revelation and have now isolated themselves
into 3 groups away from the platform of the station of revelation. It is not that we are deliberately leaving
them behind, but they have left themselves behind. Revelation has been spoken of in the <i>Urantia Book</i> many times and the truth of
revelation is that it is continuous, it is ongoing, and there is a new
revelation for every generation as it says.
You must not think of leaving your friends behind, for it is a matter
that you would always have an invitation for them to join you, always open to
them and available for them and that you would look forward to them joining you
in discovering this revelation. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is not so much that we are advocating that you discuss
channeling or TRing, or any of these phenomena of the psychic realm, but rather
that you think in terms of revelation.
This is the main core of what you have in common. This will give the individual reader of the <i>Urantia Book</i>, whether they are conservative,
or a liberal reader of the <i>Urantia Book</i>,
an opportunity to engage in mutual discussion that is helpful for
everyone. You see what has happened is
that channeling as a factor of revelation has become politicized—you are either
for it or against it—and so it becomes a competitive vying for control of the
believer to believe in it or not to believe in it. What is most important is that you believe in
revelation as ongoing. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Revelation occurs with every individual who sits in
meditation, who deliberately and consciously keeps their mind in stillness so
that their Thought Adjuster can work with their mind mechanism. Yes, dear ones, there are individuals whose
minds are busy, but remember it is your intent that is important. Whether your mind cooperates or not is
another factor, but when you take into account the will factor of your mind,
that is the important part that has the intention to offer the opportunity for
the mind to be open to your Thought Adjuster.
Again, please focus on revelation; you are the living revelation; you,
each individual, have revelation coming into your mind. Remember from our last session, when you open
your mind to meditation, when you open your mind by saying, “I <i>will</i> to do God’s Will,” then you have
truly opened yourself to receive revelation.
And it is only through revelation, whether you hear it in your mind, or
whether it is in the inner workings of your mind by your Thought Adjuster, that
you grow into oneness with the Father; you grow into becoming a part of the
First Source and Center. It is only
through revelation that you will ever be embraced by the Creator in Paradise.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Craig:</b> That’s more of an answer than I expected!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Roxie:</b> This is kind of a curiosity question,
Machiventa, but is the thalamus involved in the mind to mind connection during
TRing?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

right now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Liz:</b> I just want to say that that was such a
lovely answer to Craig’s question about revelation and meditation. I so appreciate that; that was very
meaningful for me today.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> We see that many of you still see yourselves
in competition with the 3 <i>Urantia Book</i>

does not contribute to your personal revelation and we would really ask you to
cease the competitive thoughts or trying to convince these people. You are putting your energies in the wrong

existence, and what was included and what was not included. Your question is highly relevant and in many
ways facilitates a closer examination of the Papers that were included, and why
there was a stilted bias against understanding and knowing the Thought
Adjuster. When you realize that God
wants to know each of you personally, and that the Commission of Christ Michael
and the Melchizedeks were centrally concerned about the individual coming to
know God more closely and more perfectly, so that the individual may strive to
become more complete and perfect as the Creator, you would realize that there
would never be any withholding of any information for personal contact with the
Thought Adjuster. Thank you for your
question.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">You have been tuning up your minds; you have been thinking;
you have been discerning; you have been using your skills and arts of inquiry
to formulate really authentic, good, effective questions that we can
address. As we told you many years ago,
the quality of the question will determine the quality of the answer. Many times the ones who address you, myself,
Monjoronson and others have striven to speak outside the box of the question
you have given us, and we have expanded your understanding of the basic
thoughts and elements of your question.
This is necessary to assist you to begin thinking in larger-than-life parameters
of which you are already a part by your belief system in understanding that
there is a Creator and that there is a Creator Son, and that there is a whole
hierarchy of organization to assist you to achieve the oneness which Jesus,
Christ Michael, gave to you as a commandment to attain and fulfill. To your growth and to the development of your
minds, we say, “thank you.” You must
give us permission to improve the working of your mind; this is a cooperative
effort. Many times the Thought Adjuster
will take on the responsibility of adjusting your mind to bring you into the
position of even asking the question “Is there a God?” Once you ask that question, then of course
that allows the entry of the answer, “Yes, of course there is.” We wish you a good day and we look forward to
our next session with you. Good day.</p>
