pleasure to be
here. I enjoy this as an opportunity. This is an opportunity
for a planetary
manager that has not come along very often. Planetary managers
who are in the
flesh or incarnate, on the other hand, do have this
opportunity. But for a planet
that has come out of the quarantine – two hundred thousand
years of darkness -
and now to be engaged in ongoing conscious and intentional
conversations
between ourselves and material mortals is a phenomenon that is
remarkable in <i>all</i>
regards, particularly for this correcting time program that
Christ Michael has
initiated. It is not that this has not occurred before, but
this time it is
co-creative – <i>highly</i> co-creative. And it is a process
by which we teach
mortals how to live life conscientiously, peacefully – with
social, political,
and economic stability – that is of course the initiation into
the Days of
Light and Life. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I
want to once again play, not a game, but I want to play “let’s
imagined.” We
played this with you approximately four or five years ago when
we said we wish
you to design a program that would be of benefit to people –
very general. Now
this time, after your training of the last two to three years
as a prospective
planetary manager, we wish you to imagine that you <i>are</i>
a planetary
manager, that you have taken an oath of office with Christ
Michael, and that
you are committed to the program that he has set before you.
And that program
is to bring the world – <i>all</i> the world – into the Days
of Light and Life.
The question that we have for you today, in this play which
you imagine that
you are a planetary manager, is this: What programs would you
develop as a
planetary manager that would include all of humanity? That’s
the question.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>The
comments are that you would have
unlimited resources, particularly of people, particularly of
celestial input,
and that whatever else you needed would be provided to you.
The second question
is: Where would you begin? Would you begin with a particular
race of people, a
particular gender, culture, or ethnic group? Would you begin
with some
particular religion, political party, or some economic formula
for the world?
Where would you begin? How would you lead the world – all the
human population
– into understanding its role for future generations and
settlement of this
planet? I know that this is a huge, <i>very</i> huge, program
of the work that
you will eventually share with us. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now,
let me lead you through this. Historically in our work with
you we began with
the basics. And now we want to go backwards, and we will do
deductive
reasoning. The first step that we used before was inductive,
and so now we will
start deductively. So, if you take the planet – this is <b><i>step
one</i></b>
– you take the planet, what is the first step that you would
undertake in this
sequence of logic? The first step would be to determine to
make the logical statement
that on this planet there are just two things:<span
style="mso-spacerun:yes">
</span>those that are of <i>people,</i> and those things that
are <i>not</i> of
people. So, in other words, you have already divided the world
into two
categories. Now, you know, and we know, that these are not
mutually exclusive,
but that they are interdependent. For our concern about the
Days of Light and
Life, our primary concern is people – individuals – and their
progress in their
evolution as individuals and their personality, their soul
growth, and as they
evolve to become the morontial individuals whether here on
earth or when they
make their translation. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now,
of people – <b><i>step two</i></b> – we will discuss this
(and I have already
given that to you): there are <i>people</i>. There are men,
and there are women
- two genders. And of those two genders they are of a race,
they are of a
culture, they are of an ethnicity, and they are of some social
group, and so
on. Now we change the tactic in this sequence just a bit. So,
we have divided
this down to people and their commonalities. The greatest
commonality is that
they are people. The second commonality is that there are two
genders. The next
commonality is that they belong to various groups that
identify themselves as
separate from other groups. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now,
in this next stage, we are seeking another <i>intuitive</i>,
logical sequence
step. That is, what behavior is common to all people? What is
common to all
people is that they decide – they create the future?
Obviously, (it may not be
obvious [to you], but it is obvious to us) that all people
make decisions. Even
children make decisions. And everyone who has a mind
eventually makes
decisions. What we are doing now is drilling down into the
territory of logic
to get to the point of those commonalities of all people. What
are the commonalities
of decision making? The commonality of all decision making is
that all
decisions are based on values. Values <i>always</i> underline
all decision
making. There are no decisions that are made without values
that underly those
decisions. And herein, at this point, we have a great divide.
The divide is
between groups of people and their belief systems, and their
value
systems.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>They express
these values in
decisions that continue and maintain division rather than
seeking commonalities
that join groups together. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

unity<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now,
if you as a planetary manager had a universal, global training
and education
program that taught people about these values and how to use
the values to
underly all their decision making, believe it or not, you’d
still have great
division in the world. They would use these seven common
values to underline
their decisions that would maintain their division and
separation from others.
And so, in your thinking in this logic sequence, you say “<i>ah-ha!
ah-ha!</i>”
We need a code of decision making that is uniform across all
humankind to
assist people to make decisions that eliminate division and
creates union and
oneness. As an insight, you know, and we know, that these
seven values are
common to all people. And so, we would want a decision-making
code that was
common to all people and applicable to all people, and that
the function for
this code is to provide uniformity and commonality to all
people. The insight
of that is that we would be using those same values, because
of their universal
characteristics, to write a code of decision making. Now, as
an aside, you
would say: “Well, yes, I agree with that Machiventa that yes,
there are matters
that are common to all life. And so, we would want to have
this code useful to
maintain the life of people, and groups of people, <i>all</i>
people. And
secondly, we also know, as you know Machiventa, that this
leads to
relationships. Humans are social creatures and being social,
we have
relationships.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As
you can see from this discussion and this make-believe
dialogue, we have gained
great insight into the future. So, we have gone from a world
of things that are
of people, and things that are <i>not</i> of people. And we
have drilled down
to the point where we need a code of conduct in relationships
and in human
life. As background, historically you know that most morality
deals with life.
It has been confused with ethics, and ethics has been confused
with morality.
But for the purposes of this discussion and our education of
you and all people
in the future, morality has to do with maintaining the lives
of others - their
physical life, their social life, their intrapersonal life,
their interpersonal
life, their <i>quality</i> of life, and so on. And in this
division, we have
ethics. Ethics deals with the <i>ethical behavior </i>that<i>
maintains
relationships</i>. Right decision making that deals with
maintaining good
relationships - not hostile relationships, but <i>good</i>
relationships. And
so, as we have shared with you before, your creator has
created a wonderful
process within you, within your genetic structure, that these
seven values come
in primary and secondary modes. The four primary values - to
be redundant – are
life, equality, growth, and quality of life. And the secondary
values are
empathy, compassion, and a generalized love for humanity. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">You
will see that the primary four values are used to sustain the
species. And
these are used to maintain your quality of life. They are
fundamental to the
growth of civilization, nations, societies, communities, and
families. And
these are what have promoted and brought your civilization,
and societies, and
nations to the present time. Yet, you see your world is in
tremendous turmoil
and difficulty. And that even your developed democracies are
now deteriorating,
and will soon decrease in effectiveness, disintegrate, and if
that trend
continues, they will collapse and disappear. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">All
of the work we are doing is to assist your world to come into
the Days of Light
and Life. We are not necessarily involved or interested in
your politics.
However, we are definitely involved in the social structure of
your world and
the conduct of your social institutions from the family
through the democratic process
and including your newest social institution – that of media.
This is where the
three secondary values come into play. It is necessary that
organizations begin
to use not only the four primary values, but the<i> secondary
values to sustain
the organized social existence </i>of your nations and your
association of
nations, your societies, communities, and all social
institutions and your
families especially. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">So
the primary values are sufficient to sustain your species and
to <i>initiate</i>
the progress and growth of your societies and nations, however
they are
insufficient to provide for the developmental progress of your
social
institutions and your organizations that support the continued
existence of
nations and association of nations, cities, states and so on.
The three
secondary values are primary to your humanness. You have been
taught and know
that your species is an aggressive animal that will destroy
others to control
the environment. You also know that your humanness includes
your capability to
be an ennobled being – one who expresses kindness to others
and is benevolent.
And in the infinite empathy of reaching out to others and
sensing their
situation, you, as a human, are compassionate enough to reach
out <i>voluntarily</i>,
<i>without</i> coercion, to help others in their plight, or to
share in their
enjoyment of life. And so, in the greatest expanse of your
humanness, using the
three secondary values, you reach out in your great love for
humanity, you
project your consciousness of love and integration of
wholeness and oneness to
all the civilization of your world. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

let us review the work of Christ Michael, myself, Most Highs,
Monjoronson, and
all those who are on the council for Urantia. Having received
Christ Michael’s
mandate, he asked us to come together as a team of individual
groups,
individuals as leaders and executives, in groups of
subordinates with their
executives, to develop a plan that would correct the faults
that came about
through the rebellion and the default of your former planetary
manager. Remarkably,
delightfully, and enthusiastically, these individuals
developed what is known
as the “correcting plan.” An auspicious, incredible, even <i>audacious</i>
plan
that included the participation of mortals in the co-creative
transformation of
this world. When this was first proposed, and before it was
accepted by Christ
Michael, (chuckles) many throughout Nebadon, Orvonton and
Uversa were agog.
They were what English people called gob-smacked. In other
words, they couldn’t
say a word and they put their hand over their mouth and were
agasp at what they
were reading and what they were hearing. And they too began to
discuss this.
And they discussed it in parameters that not only included the
planets that
were recovering from <i>quarantine</i>, also Nebadon, and all
sectors of
Nebadon, all constellations of Nebadon, and how it would
repercuss in Orvonton,
each of the seven great universes, and even in Havona, and in
Paradise. Well,
my mortal friends, it took centuries for the eventual decision
and uniformity
of decision making and commitment to reach the point where the
vast, vast, vast
majority of individuals throughout the whole realm of the
Grand Universe agreed
that this was a most audacious project – one that would have
incredible,
outstanding, astounding, and profound repercussions and
results for God the
Supreme, and for the progress of all Creator Son’s local
universes to engage
other future, probable rebellions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Machiventa. A couple of

that humans seem to like these lists – seven core values,
twelve steps of

once this is
presented on a grand scale it should be something that humans
would be willing
to adopt. They’re quite different of course from the ten
commandments. The ten
commandments have had many years of public relations behind

that’s what the seven core values needs is a public relations

Yes, you’re correct Liz, it
is a question. And here’s the answer: All the things that you
mentioned are
lists except for Alcoholics Anonymous. The way to engage
people into accepting
these values and this oneness is to engage it as a process. It
is important
that people learn the <i>process</i> of becoming human – <i>fully
</i>human - based
on the seven core values and the ethics and morality that
emanate from those
values. Therefore, it must be a program of education -
pragmatic experiential
training - to learn how to work this process for their
benefit. We have learned
from observing human nature since the beginnings of
pre-humanoid individuals
that there is not much convincing individuals - even in the 21<sup>st</sup>
century, in any nation - of what they ought to do, or giving
them a list and
saying: “Here, now do it!” That is a recipe, for failure.
Those who know, those
who learn teach. Therefore, we are your teachers, we are your
mentors, we are
your guides, we are your individuals who give you insight in
how to develop
these processes. Eventually you will learn that each social
institution (family,
education, healthcare, political structure, religion, finance)
you will <i>learn,</i>
eventually, that, in order to transform your nations and your
societies, that
you will need to transform each social institution. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Therefore,
each social institution will have a program, a recipe, a
developmental process,
where you do this and do that, you add this, and you add that,
and you end up
with a transformed social institution. You know, and we know,
that there will
be staunch resistance to any persuasive language that we or
you could make in
[public relations] to convince the resistant populations into
accepting this
process, these values, these ethics, and this morality. And
that’s where you
find the divide between those who become, and those who don’t.
To be-come is to
be and come into your fullness of your personality, your soul
growth as an
individual, as a family, and as a society. Becoming is a
process. Therefore,
when you engage the transformation of social institutions you
will see this as
a process of becoming – becoming whole, becoming complete,
becoming
operationally, socially, politically, and economically <i>functional</i>,
so
that the policies assist others. You might say to yourself:
“Ahha! Machiventa,
this creates a divide.” Well, my friends, you have to draw a
line in the sand
somewhere. It is not that we are against anyone – surely not!
The old dictum of
“You’re either for me or against me” is false, it is
abhorrent, it is
destructive, and it causes separation in itself. But when you
present your
programs - your processes of becoming - for transforming of
social institutions
you include <i>everyone</i>. And it is their choice to come
along or not. As we
say, we are not against anyone, we are for <i>everyone,</i>
and we are for
their happiness, their fulfillment, their contentment, and
that involves
lifestyle, standard of living, and quality of life - from the
individual and
the family, to communities, and the whole civilization. That’s
our policy, and
we’re sticking to it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

there are, in fact,
celestial teachers, angels, Melchizedeks, archangels, and many

spark, a curiosity, an
awareness that, perhaps, we [mortals] are not alone. And I’m
not referring to
the presentation of extra-terrestrials and their spaceships,

has been done as well without any progress among mortals. But
this must be
subtle. It must <i>not</i> be a smack in the back of the head

subtle that the
individual, without speaking to others, begins to realize to
him or herself that
we are here, and that “there are others here with us. And
these are benevolent.

our closed mind
thinking, our linear thinking. They want us to encompass the <i>magnitude</i>

interested in what you are
having to say today. The question you put forward to us
initially…. Let me run
through some of my thinking and see if it equates somewhere
here. First thing
was that, in order to do what you are looking to do, you
needed education. In
the western educational system, it is basically geared to
produce employees.
It’s not here to induce higher thinking – basically you
memorize a bunch of
stuff and regurgitate it back at test time, and you’re
supposed to learn your
ABC’s to read and write and do arithmetic so that you make
somebody a very good
employee. But that lacks a great deal for those of us who
would become
thinkers. And so, for myself, I was completely out of college,
about ten years
out of college, before I turned around and went to medical
school. And I didn’t
do well in school - all the way through. We don’t ask
questions. We’re put in
positions where asking questions is a hinderance to the class,
and so, we stop.
But you will need to educate people, and when you talk about
educating people,
basically, the system that is in place now is archaic. Can we
re-introduce your
value system to young people in school and carry it all the
way through? Would
that be a way of starting?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

your presentation, go back
to what I said some time ago this morning when I said it will
be necessary to
transform every social institution into one that is
functional. That is the
key. Now, as you know, the family is the primary social
institution. Education
is a secondary social institution as is healthcare, as is
religion, as is the
democratic process, etc., etc. Now, I just gave you some
insight into how to
transform them (those social institutions) when I said you
would want to
transform them into functional social institutions. In this
regard, what is a
functional social institution? And here is where we must use
the illustration
of the priorities of decision making to sustain a society that
we developed
with This One some years ago. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The
first priority of all social institutions is to sustain the
species. And there
are other aspects of that as well. The secondary importance of
a functional
society is that it supports the sustainability, the
functionality, of organized
social existence. Now, when you take those two aspects into
account, which are
huge, and that will take at least two centuries to accomplish,
you have begun
to see our efforts. And as you and Liz have stated, you must
first make people <i>aware</i>
of what the situation is. If people are unaware, they cannot
develop options
for choice making, they cannot do choice making, decision
making, or action
implementation. The first part is to make people aware. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Now,
to go back to two sessions ago and last session we mentioned
that sometimes we
create problems that require individuals, and groups of
individuals to make a
conscious decision of which way they’re going to go in the
future. And yes, we
sometimes tie your shoestrings together so that when you stand
up and try to
walk you fall over. That is a perfect metaphor for the
situation developed
democratic nations today. Now, what is the insight that we
want people to
become <i>aware</i> of concerning their political situation?
The simple insight
and awareness is this: This isn’t working, is it? Or the
simple statement: This
isn’t working. And that statement begs the question: What’s
not working? And,
as I explained before, the five steps of Kurt Wright in his
book <u>Breaking
the Rules,</u> first of all, you want to become aware that
your educational
system isn’t working. And, in fact, you’re almost to the point
where you are
saying: “Really, this is not an educational <i>system</i> at
all. It’s actually
just a <i>linear process</i>.” And then you’d say again:
“This isn’t working” you
would ask, “What are the resources we could use to improve
this to make it a
process? And what philosophical base should we use?” What is
the intention of
education, of <i>all</i> education? whether it’s from diaper
daycare to
post-doctoral work. What is the function of education? I’ll
leave you with that
question. It may sound like a rhetorical question, and it is
for this
discussion, but it is a highly pragmatic question that <i>must</i>
be answered
and <i>will</i> be answered in order to [transform] your
societies into sustainable
societies. I know that some of you are wondering about this –
thinking about
this. You are going: “Oh, my gosh. This is connected to this,
this is connected
to that, that’s connected to this over here. It’s all
integral,” but it’s not a
process.” And so, the primary element that is missing from
these linear systems
is learning, learning from experience, learning from the
experience that those
linear processes not working, learning that it requires <i>humility</i>,
deep <i>humility</i>
to say: “I don’t have the answer, we don’t have the answers.
What we’ve done is
not working. What do we do? Who can we call in to help us? Are
there existent
programs that may have some use to us?” And so, that’s a
beginning. If
organizations are not transformed into learning organizations,
whether it is a
small do-it-yourself sole proprietorship, a mega-corporation,
a national
government, or any other organization, your societies will
fail, your
democracies will fail, your civilization will fail. And we are
here to help you
prevent that. And yes, it may require somebody standing on the
street corner
saying: “The world is at end.” And hopefully someone will step
up to you and
say: “Please explain that.” And that’s where you begin. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

so, my friends, everyone who is listening, everyone who is
reading this with curious
minds saying: “How do we do this?” We know that Christ Michael
(Jesus) is our
master. He was the ultimate exemplary individual for us in our
life, our
living, our families, and our personal lives. Now, how do we
do this for our
societies, for the sustainability of our social existence?
That’s the
beginning. It’s the beginning of being able to learn – to get
over your ego, to
get over your gender, to get over your age, to get over your
beauty, to get
over your ugliness, to get over yourself – and move on. It is
to be fully human
to help others help themselves. This is why we’re here, and
you are the
individuals who have given <i>us</i> hope. You give us hope
that we’re on the
right track. You are the seed group to carry this forward.
What you are yearning

everyone else. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

with you today as
I have been so many hundreds of times before, and in the
decades, centuries,
and millennia before. It is a pleasure to be here with you to
share these words
with you. Those of you who are global thinkers, those of you
who started with
the beginning arc of these discussions so many years ago and
are present today,
you’re going to see that arc and come to the realization that
“hmmm,
something’s changed. The content, context, and tenor of these
discussions,
these presentations, have changed tremendously.” That’s an
insight. And what
can you learn from that? You have your own intuition, your own
insights, your
own conjecture, and speculations about what this is all about.
This is all
about an era of your civilization and nations that is coming
to a close. It is
necessary that this ancient era <i>does</i> come to a close.
And, of course, as
I’ve said, with the closing of an era a new era begins. And
so, you who have
been reading know that this is the New Era Transitions, and
this gives way to a
new era within that transition of what is to become. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
