responsibilities for the Correcting Time</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>CHRIST MICHAEL:</b> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"> [Speaking
in Spanish] “Buenos Dias, mi Niños,
estoy Christo Miguel.” </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">I am here with you today to share some wisdom that I wish
you to engage in your personal lives and in your shared responsibilities for
the Correcting Time as co-creative partners.
Recently I was engaged in a conversation with one of my children, who
you are acquainted with, and I told this person, “I cannot do this work without
you; it will not be done without your participation with me.” And the child, this person responded, “And I
cannot do this without you either.” As
your Creator in Nebadon I engage you; I am here to motivate you; I even <i>urge</i> you to co-create with me the work
that needs to be done. This is a message
I have shared with you, Machiventa has shared with you and others have shared
with you many times and we will share this with you many times in the future
until you understand the message and begin to act on it. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Partner with Christ
Michael on projects</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">If you see that something needs to be done on Urantia,
and it is too big for you to accomplish alone then I ask you, I <i>urge</i> you to contact me, to ask me if I
would participate with you in the completion of this piece of work that you
have seen that needs to be done. Then, you
would describe this work and ask me, ”Christ Michael, would you assist me in
the accomplishment of this work?” and I will answer you and you will hear
me. Then your part is to move forward to
assist me to do this. Your part also is
to ask me to move ahead to accomplish this for <i>us</i>. I know some of you are
deeply devout; you are incredibly humble and you are receding from the power
that I have given you. I ask you to
recede no further but to now turn around, move forward to assist us in this
work. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">Urantia, its civilization, its nations, its people,
societies, organizations, and families will not be accomplished in this work
until you engage it and <i>will</i> to do
this with me. If there is any part in
you which has fear about this statement of the work that needs to be done, or
if there is some ego involved in seeking self-aggrandizement or some egotistic
return to you for this work, then this command, this “will” statement will not
work. I have said that the meek shall
inherit the world, [but] that does not mean that they sit idly by with their
hands out; it means that they will seek to do good; they will seek to become
Planetary Managers in their own right as individuals responsible for the
guidance of their life, the initiation of that guidance for their children and
the guidance and leadership of your families with your partner. This is easy work, but it is not for the
timid. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">If you have in the back of your mind the thought, “How
will we accomplish this—we will need this and this and this to do this work,” then
you have betrayed your will command and my participation. It is not your work to provide these means;
it is simply your work to identify the problem that needs to be resolved and
engage with me in the resolution of this problem. Bringing it to my attention, you ask if I
would participate in resolving this problem and when I say, “yes,” then you
say, “Christ Michael will you please proceed to do this and I will assist you
as I am able to.” Do not worry about the
“if and how”—that is really not in your venue or in your jurisdiction of
authority to control or manipulate, or to provide—you simply identify the
problem, present it to me, ask the question and ask me to move ahead to fulfill
that, as I ask you to assist as you are able to also fulfill the resolution of
that problem. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Each individual must
participate in process to heal Urantia</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">Surely, your world will not be healed, will not come into
the Days of Light and Life until you—each of you individually—participate in
this process. I am not talking about you
as a congregation of a church doing this.
I am not talking about you as a group of people, because groups and
congregations have no soul. Groups
really have no will. Groups really have
no extension of their existence into the morontial realm — YOU DO. So it is your responsibility as an individual
to actively participate in this work.
This question and answer of the identification of the problem is not a
prayer, it is simply a discussion you would have at the kitchen table with your
family, as you would with your family or a friend where you meet over coffee
and discuss the problem and you both agree to work on this problem to resolve the
problem, or create a solution. This is a
friendly relationship that we have. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">I know that you are respectful, you hold me in high
esteem for I am your Creator—I understand that.
You must understand that you are my children. You are my sons and daughters and that all
that the Father has is yours. Can you
accept this? Can you then accept
responsibilities to participate in the command of the resolution of these
problems? You must say “yes” to partner
with me, for without that partnership your world will remain as it is. It is our responsibility to be accountable
for the outcomes, not you—you are the action takers. You are the initiators of the implementation
and for this</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">I give great thanks and I am very grateful for all of
those individuals who have revealed my presence in their lives and for
others. I am deeply grateful for all the
TRs and channels that bring forward the beings of light to help guide your
world, both as individuals and as a whole world civilization. Know that my partner, Nebadonia, has spread
her blue glow around your world to fill and surround each one of you with that
light so I ask you to open yourself, consciously and deliberately open yourself
to her light of guidance and healing. </p>

day. (Group thanks him warmly.)</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">World is cloaked with
energy, light, understanding, wisdom and love</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Good morning, this is Sondjah. It is a pleasure to be here with you. It is rather astounding to follow the voice
of Christ Michael. The presence of
Christ Michael engaged our small community here, and at the same time he has
cloaked this world with his energy and his light of understanding, wisdom, and
love. If you have questions concerning
his message, I would be glad to answer them as best I can. If you have questions related to other
topics, I would be glad to engage those too.
I would ask you a question first:
Do you understand the message of Christ Michael and is it as simple as
he has presented it to you and to me?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">“Ask and you shall
receive”</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Doug:</b> Good morning.
My question is concerning the admonition “To ask and you shall receive”
that in my own self, why am I afraid to step forward to do those things? It seems that the culture or comfort or
something keeps me from stepping out and doing the things that I see that I
need to do. How do I overcome that
limitation? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> (Chuckling.)
That is a supremely excellent question, Doug. It is the question that should be on the
minds, lips, and hearts of everyone who loves Christ Michael and who sees their
life as something to use to move themselves and our work ahead. To paraphrase one of your metaphysical New Thought,
New Age writers, “You may be fearful, but do it anyhow.” It is like jumping out of an airplane with a
parachute—there is a risk involved, but it is so negligible as to be
irrelevant. At the heart of this
situation, Doug, is self-discipline, the self-discipline to convince yourself that
you will be doing the right thing by taking this action and making these
statements and these actions to ask for assistance. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">Self-discipline is probably the missing ingredient for
your nation to truly become a transcendent nation of democracy. Self-discipline is the element which tells
the soldier on the front line in WWI to climb out of the trenches and proceed
through the barbed wire even knowing of the risks that are ahead. It is self-discipline to move ahead raising
your children as best you can, knowing that you have an incredible deficit of
wisdom. This is what you must develop
within yourself; only you can develop your self-discipline. Self-discipline is doing one small thing at a
time. It is a learned ingredient of your
character. If you have no
decision-making and self-motivation to engage your self-discipline then you
will amount to far less than your potential.
In other words, Doug, you must engage your self-discipline, motivate
yourself to make this decision, and take action to address Christ Michael as
easily as he addressed you. In this way,
your greatness becomes known to yourself and to others.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Discerning what problems
to put energies toward</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Liz:</b> Sondjah, good morning. Along those same lines of Doug’s question,
there is so much to be done! There is
also trying to prioritize and figure out where would my talents be the most
useful to the Correcting Time. There was
just another horrific shooting in Texas yesterday and I feel that something
must be done about that, but that doesn’t seem to be within my skill set, yet
there are so many things that must be done here in my community. So, when we are looking at all these
problems, how do we discern which is the one for us to choose to put out
energies toward? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Dear Liz, you don’t discern, simply see a
problem and ask us to address the problem as best we can through you. There will always be tragedies as occurred in
Texas. There will always be tragedies in
other nations that you never hear of, but it does not affect you because you
did not hear about it. While those
individuals were being killed in Texas, throughout the world there were
thousands killed in a similar manner.
You must focus your attention on those things that you can affect in the
greatest degree. Christ Michael has
asked you to partner with him. He asked
you to identify a problem and bring it to his attention and ask him to
participate with you in resolving that problem.
It may be that the answer, and your [part] to do that, will never come. Maybe it will be through another person. Maybe it will be done through your
association with other people as you motivate them. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">A subtle means of
procrastination</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">The problem you discussed about all the problems is in a
way a subtle means of procrastination.
It allows some individuals to see some area of problems as being too
big, and then do nothing. It is a
situation where the individual sees so many problems and sees how ineffectual
they are to do anything about those big problems. But!, you have a motivation within you to
partner with Christ Michael and he is the source of your authority, your
discernment and your power. If you are
sincere about this you will be guided into the best avenue to use your talent,
your skills, abilities and your knowledge.
It may be, in a way that you would never relate to resolving this
problem. Remember too, that what we are
working on is Planetary Management on a macro scale of centuries. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">These problems that you talk about, these massacres, did
not arrive just in one day. The
development of the personality and the character of the individual who pulled
the trigger and killed those people began generations ago. This individual is a culmination of many
wrong turns in the lives of individuals raising their children. Your life now is not a 60 minute episode on
television where the problem of great magnitude is resolved before the last
commercial. You are working on the
long-term problems with us. This is
where we have asked you to participate.
We ask you not to get distracted by the many things to the sides of your
vision and to the focus of your efforts and our efforts. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">We ask you simply to stay the course, and Christ Michael
has asked you to maintain a consciousness of awareness of the problems that
need attention and bring this to his attention, sincerely, honestly and
authentically—and yes, Dear One, you may be in prayer all day long with him as
you recite all the problems that are apparent to you, and this may go on for
days. Know that you have been called to
this forum. Know that you are present
here today because you have a pre-destination to be here—you are not
foreordained to be here, but you have a destiny to fulfill if you wish to
participate with us. We ask you to hone
yourself to be effective and use your own self-discipline to focus your
attention on the things that you can truly address. Do you have further questions concerning
this?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Planetary Changes document</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Liz:</b> Well, I have a very specific question in
regards to this, and that is it has come to my desk, a document 20 page long,
called “Planetary Changes – Times to Come” and it came through September 2017,
authorship: Machiventa Melchizedek. I am asking for authentication of this
document first. If this document it in
fact from Machiventa, how shall I proceed in disseminating it as widely as I
can, or is it for certain eyes only?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> One moment.
Your first question lands on deaf ears, as we do not provide a judgment
as to the message that is given by TRs, either the message or the source and so
on. This is a matter where your
discernment can be useful. Does it sound
like Machiventa? Does this represent him
as something he would provide as a Planetary Manager? Questions of discernment are important to
ask. Does this document cause fear in
individuals? Does it cause a return to
the TR as a means of self-aggrandizement in the public regard? The processes of discernment are known to
you, have been shared with you and you would do well to use this as a lesson,
as an instrument to examine the process of discernment more closely. In doing so with others, you will find that
you will learn a great deal about the messenger, the message, and the
source. Then we would be glad to discuss
with you in ways and means by which is not embarrassing to anyone.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Liz:</b> Thank you for that answer.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">A question on developing
teamwork</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Craig:</b> I had a question and I think it was partly
addressed by Michael’s talk, and that is I’ve been engaged I’d say
co-creatively, to my belief, for a decade now in renewable energy and electric
transport, and I’ve put out a monthly newsletter, “Turquoise Energy News,” and
I’ve sort of jumped from one thing to another, to another quite a bit and
whenever I start thinking about engaging with other people, helping them help
on the project or anything like that, I keep getting the message that it’s
better to do it myself. This somehow
seems in conflict with one of the lessons we need to learn in this life is
teamwork, so I guess the question is: Is
this sort of a project that is on the radar screen as being probably one of
many things that are to be brought together in the fairly near future, and is
it going to take any direction towards becoming sort of a more organized thing
at my end than just alone as a new inventor working on new things? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Your insight is accurate that the way forward
is through teamwork. We would ask you to
take the courageous step to put out an announcement for inviting others to
participate with you whether that is from individuals on the island, or whether
it is through the Internet and that means.
It would be best for your process if you were able to work on this in
person with other individuals, sitting around a table or in your shop or in
your facility discussing what you are working on. There are individuals around you within your
community who are brighter than you may realize, who are more knowledgeable and
capable of engaging these questions with you.
And it may be that it is not so much the technical problem that needs to
be answered, but the approach to answering those questions and those
problems. Sometimes inventors miss the
obvious when they are so close to the problem.
Overall this is a challenge to you to engage others. It is the wish of your teachers that you
bring others into your fold to discuss this.
In some ways it is not so much a matter of the invention as it is so
much the invention of your team.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">What is the macro nature
of the Correcting Time?</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Craig:</b> While I have the floor, so to speak, my other
question was that a few weeks back Machiventa expressed some disappointment
that there hadn’t been more questions about a macro nature about the Correcting
Time program. I was wondering just where
to kind of get a handle on this. Are
there subject areas or topics that we might be addressing that we’ve been
missing and could ask questions that become more of a macro nature? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Certainly, let me give you some
guidance. When we speak of macro topics
it is truly the top of the food chain and the financial chain and political
chain that we are discussing. Consider a
large global international corporation organization, whether it is insurance, or whether it is petro-chemical,
or whether it is finance or something else—or education—is that you would ask
questions in a way that involve yourself, “Is there a way of addressing a large
international corporation in such a manner as to gain their attention
concerning sustainability into the future?” </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">What we have seen in the course of many organizations,
and I will use “corporations” as an example, is that many times the corporation
is a means to line the pockets and the power of individuals who are executives,
or who are investors. They see the
corporation not as an instrument of good, or even of its continuity into the
future, but of some immediate return.
Now, wouldn’t it be amazing, and wouldn’t it be quite a change in the
culture of corporations that they would take on the conscious transcendence of
their existence beyond the needs of individual executives or investors or board
of directors, that someone within the corporation would see the corporation as
a mechanism for maintaining its existence into the future? How would that be done? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">Therein lies the question to be asked that raises the
consciousness of corporations to the point where they think beyond the next
quarter, or the bottom line, or the cents on the dollar for the next quarter’s
dividends. If there is no transcendent
consciousness within larger organizations then they will eventually decline and
disappear into history as many tens of thousands of other organizations have
done in the last 10,000 years or more.
That is a macro question, and that is a macro situation. That is something to be examined. This would have an immense impact upon the
forests in Brazil, for instance. It
would have a tremendous impact upon the preservation of species in Indonesia,
for example. The repercussions from
corporations beginning to think in transcendent terms will go far beyond the
next quarter, far beyond their ratings on the Stock Exchange, and so on. This would change the course of your world
immensely. It would have a social
impact, a political impact, and an economic impact on everyone. Such a change of motivation within a
corporation would be huge. This type of
thinking requires that sustainability be implemented at the very lowest levels
of thinking, decision-making by all employees, and particularly by those on the
board of directors and those chief executives.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Craig:</b> Thank you.
And I guess we might feel that would apply to other types of
organizations, as well, social and political organizations. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Exactly!</p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Transcendence of an
educational organization</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Yes.
If I may continue, the transcendence of an educational organization has
not even been dreamt of. To do that, it
must have the consciousness to develop a vision that encompasses that
transcendence using a set of values and philosophy and morality that is
supported by the values that can make those decisions to transcend into that
future. Of course, anything that once
transcends must in itself become a servant to those who would live out that
transcendence in its service population and all students and all people who
graduate and who enter the work force and the academia, and so on. We appreciate your thoughtfulness for raising
the question of education.</p>

changed through the 7 core value model?</span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> I have several questions, Sondjah, but they
are not sweeping macros looking at long-term sustainability for institutions at
the moment. They relate solely to the
course work that Liz and I are working on.
I feel like I am looking at the cul-de-sac that we talked about 2 weeks
ago; I’m not in there, but I’m looking at it.
So my first question for you is this:
Recent evidence of attempts at minimalist reform in our tax code, basically
reveal that our current “tax expenditures,” as they call them in Washington,
and public entitlement systems have become totally ossified to virtually
unchangeable public policy. The question
is: Can any of these be successfully
changed through the examination of the 7 core value model?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> One moment.
Yes, they can be. It is a
difficult situation. It is not a
conundrum, a problem, or question but rather a situation. It is also a situation of investiture of
power, authority, and control. Those
individuals who could make those decisions are highly vested in their own
personal positions with their associates in the organizations that support
them. The way forward, as we have
discussed in the past, is through the grass roots. Solving the problem by addressing the top
authority decision-makers is not conceivable or possible at this time because
of those investments at a personal level and organizational level to maintain
the status quo. It will only become
possible when those directions become impossible, when there is a seeking of
sustainable, meaningful contributions for a change in policy. You will find in education that it will
continue as it is for quite some time. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">The work that you two are conducting is very valuable for
the Correcting Time. You are chiseling
away with a hammer and chisel at a Mt. Rushmore size of power structures. Yet when you pound your hammer against the
chisel on a mountain the size of Mt. Rushmore, there is an echo and it does
make a resounding sound throughout those who are in listening distance. Part of the situation that you need is a
receptive audience to receive these values as possibilities for sustainable
decision-making. You have begun at that
level and we encourage you to continue.
We ask you not to attack or present this to the bastions of authority
directly, but let those you present this to to at the local level carry that
message forward for you and for us.</p>

for an example to the Honor’s Class</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> I have a second question that follows along
with that: This is a survey course, just
the very beginning of what Liz and I hope will become a four-year study and
bring some scholarship to this. Would it
be appropriate to bring a proposed bill that was set before the Oregon
Legislature to this 317 Honor’s Class for study next year? Something pretty simple, but live. Would that be of value? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Explain further.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> What we are going to assess is either a
political situation, or a family situation through the 7 core value model. Would it be helpful next year to have a live
bill that has been presented to the Oregon Assembly to bring to the class to
say, “Alright class, here is a proposal from the Legislature, let’s put it
through the 7 core value model to see if it is really a sustainable idea?”</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Craig:</b> So you want to bring in a real life example?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> Yes.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> We would most definitely support that. It is an excellent idea. You are beginning at the local level
examining questions and policies at the State level. This will have a great effect upon your local
politicians and administrators. This
makes our work more visceral to individuals who would be affected by the
passage of the bill without that examination.
This is something that we would definitely support and we ask you to
participate by asking us and your teachers and your spiritual team if they
would participate, and if they agree, then asking them to move ahead in this
work, just as Christ Michael has advised you.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Is the 7 core value system
too complex for beginning classes?<span></span></span></u></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> I have an additional question. Trying to bring all of these thoughts of the
3 core values, and 7 core values to a beginning class, seems like trying to
swallow the elephant all at once, so I prepared at the family level, just a
question for a family and I wrote it out on the schematic board for a family
sustainability, using simply life, equality and growth, and the intention that
I wrote for an example for the class to think about at the family level, I
wrote, “My intention is to find a weekly mean model that will provide both
nutritious and affordable for my family as our budget becomes increasingly
stressed with rising housing, transportation and medical insurance costs.” As a model for the family as a whole, who try
to wean themselves off of inappropriate expenses for nutrition in times of the
inflation that is coming. Is this a
workable idea in your opinion?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> It’s a good beginning. You would be in fact teaching parents how to
share that decision-making with their children, so that the children grow up to
be able to make those decision-making processes on their own, and to weigh the
benefits of expenditures in view of the values and how those expenditures
sustain or do not sustain the family.
Your process that will need more working time and thought, you will most
likely need to explore this in a developmental team process first, don’t you
think? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> So what I will do then is I will submit this
to the group as just a beginning proposal looking for some co-creative thoughts
about how to do this. It seems to me
that for many people, dealing with 7 concepts at a time may be too many, and
that if nothing more, if we want to take this to a lower level, such as high schools,
etc., maybe just 3 concepts at a time,
and the family does not need to focus on its love for humanity at the dinner
table when they are having budget problems. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> In presenting this, you yourself have been
consistently using the 3 secondary values to explain this project, because of
the humanitarian need to do so. You can develop
the 3 primary values—the quality of life, growth and equality in terms of
survival. The humanitarian compassion,
empathy, and love of humanity perspectives will always be present. And you can hope that when you present the
primary values, that someone in the audience will [say], “Well, how about other
people?” and so there you see empathy beginning to play out. Then there must be an answer that is
compassionate to the question and to the people the individual has asked
about. Does this make sense?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> Yes it does—everything.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> You are most welcome to begin with the 3
primary values, but do not lead yourself astray with thinking you can
consciously ignore the [secondary values] because those secondary values are
wired into people in their DNA and they cannot help but ask questions relating
to that.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">The collapse of political
parties and their future</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> Okay.
I have a question—it’s not a curiosity question. Last week there was a political commentator
named Ian Welsh and he wrote a piece on his web site stating that when
political parties—and he was speaking of the US and European mainstream
political parties—collapse, those people who step forward into the leadership
try to pick up the pieces, literally look at ideas that are then lying
essentially on the ground trying to find something different to bring
cohesion. He was speaking particularly
about the collapse of ideas in the Democratic Party and I think the collapse of
the morality of the Republican Party. In
any event, my question is this: Is it
the expectation of the Magisterial Mission that during the collapse, whatever
that is, or whenever that comes, if this is the case, if this man is right,
what sort of ground around should we be leaving the 7 values model on?</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Excellent question. You have already been teased by one of those
dots that you want to connect with other dots.
You are looking at the macro scale of political movement and
evolution. The ground to leave those
ideas on are all around you and you will be looking for those thinking
individuals as Mr. Welsh to share that with, that these are ideas that are
useful and can be used into the future.
They are totally humanitarian.
You will be looking for those individuals who do have a humanitarian
perspective to their thinking and to their audience. You would want to play this to those
individuals who would regard what you are doing as a useful idea and that they
would carry it forward. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">What you are looking at, as we have looked at, is the
propagation of these ideas of sustainability into wider and wider
audiences. Any individual who has a
media audience of some sort, and who has similar values and concerns for
humanities as we do and you do, is one you would want to connect with and leave
these notes and ideas at their doorstep and perhaps have a conversation with
them if you can. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Further suggestions to
present to Honor’s College Head</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> This is my last question—sorry to suck up all
the oxygen today—I am meeting with the Head of the Honor’s College in a few
hours to give him a very brief update on where Liz and I stand on our
progress. Do you have any suggestions of
topics to update him on at this time? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> I will tie in with what was said earlier
about the transcendence of organizations, particularly in education, is that
this is a means for education as a social institution with global
representation in all nations to provide the direction into the future. Doing so, what you are presenting is larger
than a single class, but a means for your nation, your world and other nations
to proceed logically, rationally into the future, based on the values that have
sustained your species for so long. If
you get the gist of Christ Michael’s presentation and what has been said here
by myself and yourselves, is that we are asking people to move away from
self-interest to humanitarian interests, to organizational interests. And in order for organizations and social
institutions to survive and thrive into the future, their existence and
survivability must be tied to the organic values of the people it serves,
meaning that as education supports the survival and transcendence of
communities, states and nations, education will survive as well. Does this make sense to you? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> Yes, and then I would ask an additional
question, Sondjah, Daniel put a thought in my head recently about looking at
the book recently published called, “1177 B.C.” which is a discussion of the
end of the Bronze Age, describing—I haven’t read the book yet, I have it in my
presence but I am not there yet—but there seem to be similar reasons that all
civilizations have collapsed and so there has never been a truly long-term
Urantia based model for transmitting values from one generation to another. Is there something special in this book that
I should be looking for and incorporating into this class work? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> If you read the Introduction and the first 30
pages of the book, you will have sufficient knowledge to proceed with your
project.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jeff:</b> Thank you.
I’m done; I appreciate the opportunity to ask questions of Sondjah.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Roxie:</b> I have questions from a couple of our

Webmaster that is designing the new archive site. He says, “So far I have invested more than 6
months of my full-time effort on this and I expect once the phase 1 is
released, I need some financial support to carry on the rest of the

for this Teaching Mission Portal that he has been working on? </p>

workman’s efforts</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> One moment.
There is no question that you will and are supported even now. The extension of yourself for these many
months without being compensated is a remarkable sacrifice on your part. The value of a workman’s efforts needs to be
honored, as you know and you will be compensated for this. We cannot reveal more than that, as it would
cause greater confusion than it would resolution of even the problem that you
speak about. Thank you for your question
and in your case, we ask you to stay the course a little longer if possible. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Roxie:</b> Thank you.
He has a second question. He
asked you once before about moving to Shillong so that he has a better place to
do this work for the Correcting Time and he made a visit to Shillong and
decided that it was not a place that he liked and gave several reasons. Now, he’s thinking about going to Goa,
India. He wants to know if this would be
a good place to take his family. He’s
wondering about it being a coastal area on the Arabian Sea and if that will be
a problem? </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> We would wish to answer this in a private
conversation with him, either through our moderator here or through another
individual.</p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><u><span style="color:rgb(0,176,80)">Understanding
mental/emotional vibrations of energy</span></u> </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Roxie:</b> He says, “I would respectfully like to ask
what opportunities we have to better understand, specifically with reference
to: ‘It is the state of emotional thoughts of being that affect the frequency
and oscillation of the vibrations of energy.’
Could you expand this concept, please?”</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Thank you for your question. Yes, the emotions are an area that are not
that complex to us, but need further clarification. The thinking, the mental/emotional state exists
when you are thinking about a situation that has occurred, or one that you
anticipate will occur, and so your emotional state changes as you think about
this situation. This is far different
than being confronted with a problem immediately that is physically in front of
you, or you are involved with. To have
an emotional reaction to a physical situation immediately is a reality that you
can have legitimate emotional reactions to, but <i>emotional reactions to thinking</i> sets a vibration that can cause
great difficulty in your life. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">In most cases, it is a matter of mental/emotional
vibration attracting the situation that you have developed in your mind. This One lives in Colorado where diamondback
rattlesnakes on occasion can be found, and so if it was on his mind that he
would be walking down a path in his imagination and he would be fearful of this
occurring, then you can fairly well predict that during the warmer months he
will probably be confronted with that.
This is the reflective projection of a mental/emotional state through
the vibrations of thinking that is fired by the emotional spheres that can
cause the world/universe at the quantum level to bring that into
existence. </p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">This is the basis of all metaphysical thinking. Spiritual metaphysics that was exemplified by
Jesus are the best examples possible, and so it has been reflected by Buddha as
well, “What you think, will be reflected in the outer.” When you put that in quotes and you think
about it, you realize that the mindal/emotional state is incredibly
powerful. What do you want in your
life? Do you want snakes in your
life? Do you want harm to come to
you? Do you want illnesses and
sicknesses and accidents, and so on, to come to you? Do you want to have situations that you
engage in and receive a big “no” from those people who you are involved with,
such as when you apply for work? Or do
you see yourself as being successful? <i>You set the mental/emotional vibrations into
the universe as you think </i>and<i> </i>as
you move forward. When you make
decisions with an unclear intention, then confusion can come about through your
mental/emotional projections. It is best
to have a joyous frame of mind, have very clear intentions for good outcomes
and then engage them in the mental/emotional projections.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Roxie:</b> His last question was, “Could you please use
a metaphor or somehow clarify what concerns ‘emotional thinking?’” But I think you’ve already answered that.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> Yes, it should be very clear from my earlier
statement, the metaphor with several examples.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>Roxie:</b> I have one more question but I can hold it
until our next session.</p>
<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing"><b>SONDJAH:</b> I wish to bring this to a close today unless
there is some eminently pressing question or situation that needs to be
resolved. (There are none.)</p>

<p class="gmail-MsoNoSpacing">The Celestial Team and I, personally, give thanks for
Christ Michael’s presence here today as he spoke with you. He sets the example of what you can perhaps
become in the eventuality of time and eternity.
You have a course in the destiny of your spiritual ascendancy that will
vary from that of a Planetary Manager to a Creator of Universes. You have an obligation to engage this vision,
whatever it is, this vision of your life according to your life plan, which
will take you from this mortal sphere to the very depths of Paradise and the
embrace of the Creator. It is your
choice to follow this, or not. It is
your choice to be receptive to opportunities that come to you to lead you in
this direction. You must have the
courage to decide and say, “I want to do this,” and when you accept the
opportunities and challenges that lie before you, they will lead you in the
right direction. For this we give thanks
to you for being here with us today, for you have followed yourself to
participate in this forum and for that we give thanks and wish you a good day.</p>
