your Planetary Manager. My immediate
topic today will be “Convergence.” The
work of Nebadonia and her vast corps of Angelics/Angels has been effective to
increase the “amperage and voltage” of the spiritual energy and consciousness
on Urantia. This has been going on for
many years and we are beginning to see the results. In this convergence there is a polarization
that is taking place that those who are of the light are coming together with
those of the light, just as the people who have goodness in them are coming
together as well. There is also the
negative side; those in the darkness, those who are predators of various sorts,
those individuals who are immoral and unethical—and you know them as abusers
and violent people—whether that is through the subterfuge of finance or through
a hammer; nonetheless, people are injured by them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">We of the light have a tremendous advantage over the
darkness because we, the Planetary Management Team of Urantia, Christ Michael
and his many teams are organizing the efforts of those groups who are of the
light and coming together. These
individuals and groups are converging on each other. They oftentimes do not know each other, but
find themselves in familiar company according to values, interests and topics
of discussion. The efforts of those who
are in the positive side of our universe reality on Urantia are that we will
succeed; it is inevitable that we will succeed because we have a consciousness
of oneness; we have a consciousness of goodness. You as mortals have a consciousness of
goodness that is deeply embedded in the 7 values in your DNA; you have an
affinity for those things, issues and topics and people that are moral, ethical
and who express those values in their lives and in their actions, businesses
and their associations. </p>

groups into larger and larger groups, you however need not take much effort to
work on this. Just simply be one among
many and express your opinions and values of light with others, and soon you
will find you have an interested group around you. This is what is happening throughout the
world, not just in this nation, and all other nations throughout the
world. People are “clumping” together
much like red blood cells clump together to form the healing substance in a
wound, and so that is a fairly good metaphor for what we are doing with your
world in the social, political and other realms of human existence. This is a process of healing wounds and then
moving on to invigorating the body of the public and all people to move in a
common direction. </p>

together and to understand who they are, what they are and what they value are
the values that are innate to each of you.
These values and the subsequent morality and ethics that evolve or emanate
out of those values will become attractive to everyone. It is a matter of millions and millions of
people coming to recognize that these values are part of everyone and that
these are the original cause of human motivation. It is in the interpretations of those seven
values that human goodness is evident when they are expressed for other-interest. The crux of the world at present is the immense
self-interest interpretations of the primary value “equality”. Some people view equality as “I want to be
equal to those who have what I want.”
Their self-interest expresses in their position, authority, and power so
that they say with self-justification, “I am more equal than you are, and so I
am more important than you are and I should be able to take what you have when
I need it and want it.” That may seem severe,
but nonetheless we see that occurring in large numbers of professionals as well
as the common thief, burglar, and shoplifters.
There is a tremendous need for this commonality of the values to enter
into the stream of human consciousness on a global level. And that is the work of Nebadonia and her
angelic corps. </p>

about the Golden Rule and where it should be—or if it should be—part of our
classroom exercises. You said the Golden
Rule was not part of our DNA, and then you said you were waiting for my next
question and I didn’t have one. (Laughing.)
So you offered some, “fundamental information of education” to kind of
help me along and I have been ruminating upon that. In those remarks, you stated, “… the penchant
for individuality and unique personal dominance that most males exhibit is no
longer useful to the maintenance of your society and the interaction of your
nations together.” If I may, I can’t
formulate a good question, I’d like to ask a couple of smaller questions. (<b>Machiventa:</b> That is preferred.) Thank you.
The first one is, is the “penchant for individuality” that males exhibit
a natural trait, or is it a learned and deliberately nurtured trait?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> It is both.
It is one that is natural to males as they are highly competitive. It is also expressed in women when they
become competitive. Men also learn this
in home situations from fathers and other dominant males as they are being
raised. It is not a matter of it being
good or bad, ethical or immoral, but it is “what works and what does not work” that
makes dominance, competition, and the high degree of individuality that is a
layer on your society, simply does not work to contribute to the social
stability and social sustainability of a family, community, work group, or the
whole of a national society. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>Jeff:</b> My next question on that thread is: are women
naturally more collaborative than men, or if this a learned or deliberately

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Again, it is both. Women are naturally cooperative and
collaborate immensely because that is the history of women throughout all human
history. Women are the bearers of
children; they are the initiators of family; they are those who stay home and
take care of the children. In a tribe or
clan, they go out together—one group takes care of the children while the
others go out and pick berries and dig roots.
That is a natural trait that is now deeply embedded in the DNA of
women. It is women who keep the clan
together as a socially knitted group; it is men who keep the group together
politically and economically. Their
roles are much different, but through the socialization in the family process,
everyone works together. High degrees of
individuality by women or men are detrimental to the civility of the tribe or
clan or society. It is necessary that
women raise children, boys and girls, to understand both roles; and it is the
role and necessity of males to teach their children, boys and girls, the
morality of leadership, leadership that does not discard individuals who are
not as adept at being competitive to seek dominance and control. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes.
It certainly can be. It is
important to have those social/societal roles and boundaries in place that
recognize individuality as unique, but individuality that is isolationist and
develops into a solipsist sort of individual philosophy is detrimental to the
cohesion of the larger group. The
individualism as an ideology of the Western Civilization, particularly in the
United States, is highly detrimental to the good of the many, that those who
are not competitive are kicked aside to the curb, while those who are in the
mainstream of society excel immensely.
There is a necessity in advanced cultures and societies to recognize the
individual as a working asset of the larger group, and that failing to develop
their innate potential prevents society’s larger good harms from coming into
existence. Failing to develop the innate
potential of individuals prevents the larger society from advancing its
sustaining interests. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>Jeff:</b> Okay.
If the 7 core values based decision-making model that you have presented
to us is the key to changing the “penchant for individuality,” that is an
obstruction to social progress. Are
there any other avenues for us to pursue as an introduction to this to the
world that we are not yet considering?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> Yes, there are many other options
available. However, we—particularly you,
you as those individuals who are interested in the good of the world—have
enough on your plate to do with what we have given you already. Giving you more would only obfuscate or
confuse the situation and your philosophies and personal missions in life and
your group missions as well. We are
beginning at the individual level for individuals within their families to
bring significant change to your culture and to your societies, and
particularly to the organizations and the operational documents on which they
rely. When these 7 values and ethics and
morality begin to be embedded in organizations, whether a sole proprietorship
or a mega corporation, that is a sure sign that you as a society and
civilization are on your way to accept more responsibilities for change in your
world. </p>

problems or to repair the rents in the cloth of education across the world,
particularly in the Western world in the United States, but to create an
educational system that works. When we
say, “what works,” the answer is anything that contributes to the
sustainability of the individual and family and expresses the individual as an
equal of all others, and is valued to receive equal treatment of education
throughout their life so that they grow into their innate capability to the
capacity that they brought with them, and to improve their quality of
life. The quality of life, growth and
equality are essential to the measurement of the effectiveness of what works in
education. This would require a major
adjustment of the vision, intention, the operating philosophy, mission and
objectives of public education and private education as well. These have never been given their due
appreciation or attention in view of sustaining a nation into a long and
distant future. </p>

terms of centuries and millennia, then it becomes an easy process by using the
“Schematic for Validating and Designing.” It provides a mechanism for examining the
values reflecting the interpreted values and policies and curricula against the
values and ethics and morality of education.
This may seem tedious, but remember you would be designing education for
the next 250-500 years and for millennia.
It is a grand scale initiative that requires the attention of thoughtful
individuals who have empathy for others, and a willingness to be compassionate to
reach out and assist the vast number of people in the world who are not
expressing and developing their innate potential. Public education has a tremendous
responsibility to the welfare of individuals as social assets of their
society. Education has a moral
responsibility and an obligation to satisfy those demands of the individual to
address the social sustainability of the larger society.</p>

there are problems with the mechanics and the structure of educating people,
and there doesn’t seem to be much of a crusade or groundswell at the grassroots
of this country to reform the educational system. Is this something that is only going to
happen through a traumatic incident or a calamity where the awareness that the
system must change because it cannot survive in its current form to be
functional for society? Is it going to
take a trauma or a calamity to do this?
What in your opinion is going to make the changes that everybody can
see, but there doesn’t seem to be any initiative at all to make these
functional changes. We seem to allow a
large percentage of our population to become ineffective members of society and
to just kind of float through life, not really contributing to society at all.</p>

said. The trauma of catastrophes you see
as needed are occurring all around you.
You see it in the individuals who are killing other people en mass
through their uneducated and uninformed balance with themselves in their world. You see these catastrophes in the way people
are hired, and you are seeing them in the #MeToo movement that has erupted
around the world and needfully so. What
is needed is an organizing catalyst that effects the right outcome but without
itself being affected. A crude metaphor
would include the process of electrolysis to recover silver. Old antiques with silver plating are placed
in a vat with other silver plated objects.
The solution begins to dissolve the silver plating while the
electrolysis process moves the silver ions toward the electrical pole of its
native preference. Yet, neither the
solution nor the poles are affected. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The catalyst we are using to awaken individuals is for them
to come into the conscious awareness of the organizing factors of the 7 values,
morality, and ethics. The catalysts of
ethics and values of morality are subtle; they do not need to be pounded into
people’s heads through government regulations.
People will have a natural affinity to programs that express these
values, and being attracted they will create success for those programs. The organization of your societies and
organization of social institutions will become spontaneous, though rather
slowly to begin with, by accepting and applying these values and ethics. This is our hope and Christ Michael’s plan
for the Correcting Time. The process of
introducing these values into the consciousness of humanity around the world
has already begun and will continue on before the cataclysms, through the
cataclysms, and particularly during the New Era. The efforts of all the Correcting Time is to
introduce all of these factors to the world before the cataclysms so that after
the cataclysms the social context of your world can be recreated in a way that
sustains people into an indefinite and peaceful and thriving future.</p>

Parents are the ones who discipline the child to learn their boundaries

in Western societies, particularly in the United States, is a factor that is
almost absent from the grand percentage of people. Self-discipline is a factor which coordinates
the progress of families and societies, corporations and government. When there is little self-discipline it is as

Of all the options that are available, this is first: That those individuals in the community,
whether they are grandparents, parents, children or local teachers, begin to
take responsibility for their educational system and for their curriculum. Secondly, this group of individuals must not
bow down to the arrogant self-serving expertise of educators at any level,
whether that is national, state or local.
It is not that “we know best” is wrong as a philosophy of professional
educators, but that it must also include that “we the people” are also
knowledgeable about what we need. This
group and the professionals must recognize that each of you have the 7 values
and the operating ethic within you that you know what is good, what is fair,
what works and what does not. It is

they live, they respond to the Adjutant Spirits and the idea of factory farming
is so abhorrent to me that I have been vegan now for over 6 years, because I
refuse to participate in that horrendous soulless industry. My question to you is: Does this value of Life extend to all

guess my question is: Does the value of

it is the cricket that bothers you at night as you sleep, or whether it is your

city. All life is valuable; all life has

Dogs and cats are not valued in our estimation more than cows or

animals in pens and so on, and mass killing of them for slaughter, for sale of
their meat has caused the problem to be quite skewed. Nonetheless, there is an honoring that must
take place on using the products of those animals for your intake and for your
diet. It is an honoring that the indigenous
people have always respected, that the animals are free in the world to roam as
they wish, and are either captured or killed by individuals to feed themselves,
their family and their tribe. We have
discussed this a number of times before, how the animals are dispatched is a
matter of practice that is worthy of also being respected. Similarly, when you consider the death
penalty as it is experienced, used and applied, in nations that have a capital
punishment, having capital punishment statutes is also worthy of being humanely
done. Dispatching individuals in a
violent way and as a spectator sport of the old Roman Era is disgusting, should
be disgusting to you as it is to us. The
individual, no matter how heinous their crimes against humanity as a predator,
or other violent cause, is worthy of receiving the respect of a peaceful death. It is easily done considering the chemicals
and pharmaceuticals that are easily available to do that. Confusion of the death penalty and how that
is applied is really quite an ignorant process on those who should be well
acquainted with peaceful means of death.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> What you have asked about is now in
process. The “how” of it is what we are
doing, and that is to begin investing in your societies and in social,
political, economic and other processes the 7 values and ethics and
morality. To fail to do this
co-creatively, which represents the last part of your question, would be one
that could also be done secularly.
However, to devise a socially sustainable society that moves into the
Days of Light and Life without the spiritual enhancement that is available
through spiritually evolved individuals would be very, very difficult, if not
impossible. The development of a society
into the Days of Light and Life requires individuals who in fact are working
co-creatively and personally with celestial beings. In the early era of that process celestial
influence becomes aware through insights and ideas, and through development of
those ideas into factual documents and policies and procedures to then help
bring about those sectors that support the social infrastructure and structures
of a working functional society. As you
have seen and examined in your own mind at this time, there is immense
fracturing and separation and disorganization of the elements that constitute a
functional society and a functional world of societies. It is necessary that we begin by introducing
the value system that is common to all people, and by which the human species
has used for over 200,000 years to sustain its survival. These values are beginning to become the
influence for the convergence for the good working order of your societies from
the family level to the local community at this time.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>Roxie:</b> The first question from Russia is: “It is known that our feelings, emotions and
moral attitude to the surrounding life affect the occurrence of disease. In the 70’s of last century, cancer was a
rare disease. How do you see, from your
spiritual point of view, the cause of the widespread spread of cancer on the
planet at the present time?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><b>MACHIVENTA:</b> There are several, at least 2 factors which
can address that. One is that the
incidence of cancer has been prevalent throughout the history of all humanity,
for the duration of its species. It has
become more widespread because of the improvement of diagnostic techniques and
knowledges that have helped medical specialists identify cells that are
proliferating and causing the death of individuals. The association with individuals in stress
and moral turmoil and ethical living is a major cause of cells to go awry. Having peace in oneself, having their
thoughts organized to being in good relationships or working relationships and
to removing themselves from non-working relationships is essential to the
maintenance of the body, so that the cells work in order. Your bodies and the energetic system that
supports them is a holism; it is a holism that is affected by outside factors
as you have mentioned. The prevalence of
increasing stress and abuse and disorganization and chaos in a person’s life
has become more and more widespread throughout civilization, thus you see more
and more incidences of cancer. When one
practices meditation to be at oneness with their Thought Adjuster, to be at
oneness with humanity that is within each individual and to absence themselves
from the chaos around them is a major factor in being at peace physically. Cancer is not a preferred operation or
accepted within your body when the mind is at peace, when the energy is at
peace and particularly when there is a connection with the God Presence within
them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">This is not to say that those individuals who are highly
spiritual do not get cancer, for you know and we know that they do. And it is not a testament to their violation
of their life at all, or to the tenets of morality and ethics and the values of
social sustainability. It is sometimes one
of those factors that arise through heredity and the tolerance and the
acceptance of foreign substances and molecules in the body which helps promote
the growth of cells that go awry.</p>

for a bill or some project, does not mean that even within the approving votes
there are no dissenting individuals. In
that case it means that the individual has weighed the situation and has seen
that there is a greater good in what is occurring. Of course this too may be skewed by
self-interests in some way. For the
minority vote there may be many individuals who have other ideas about what
should be done and have their own opinions about what should occur. Those individuals also constitute the whole
of your public and of the voting public.
They are not excluded from the rest of the work of the team that is
cooperating under the new policy or statute.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">It is essential in a democratic process that dissenting
votes and opinions be recognized and acknowledged and voiced. In democracies when dissenting votes and
opinions are excluded simply because they are different the majority becomes a
majority of ignorance which will lead to the demise of the larger group. Dissenting individuals may have creative and
ingenious ideas that are foreign to the majority; it is essential that those
ideas be expressed so that they are shared with other individuals who may have
like opinions about that, which eventually may arise to the sub-group becoming
the dominant group and going the way of good for all. It is the situation where dissenting groups
become violent and exclude themselves and become isolationists where a society
and community breaks down. This is not a
good working democratic process and it speaks to the lack of good enculturation
of children and socialization of children in the early years to become working,
contributing members to a functional local democracy.</p>

trying to influence you and the rest of earth’s population. Your input to us gives us a reality check on
where we are as to our progress in the minds of individuals and the collective
human mind and the consciousness of this world.
In that regard, I report that you and we are making an impact, though
minor at this time, on the global consciousness of humanity. It is beginning to change and you are
beginning to see that reflected in the influence of the Angelic Corps through
Nebadonia on this planet. Through the
coordination of the Angelic Corps, the Correcting Time missions and the work of
myself and the celestials and all involved on this planet, we are having a
positive influence. What is not reported
in the world to you is the decrease of violence in many places, the changing of
minds of those who are abusive, those individuals who are bullies and so on. You can see this in the #MeToo movement and
we salute that effort. That is certainly
a thorough effort of the work of women, particularly of the Angelic Corps. The feminine side of angels has had a highly
positive influence on those women to come forward, even in their embarrassment
to reveal what they have been subject to as victims. We salute every one of you of this team and
the readers and listeners and those other individuals who are of the
light. There is a convergence that is
going on and it is you. Thank you.</p>
