style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Good morning. This is
Machiventa
Melchizedek. It is a wonderful day to be here. There are
many in the world who
are aggrieved by conditions around them—conditions in their
lives and so on—yet,
in the Father, all is at peace, all is well, and all is
calm. Many of you have
wondered about your role in all this. You haven’t said as
much to me—haven’t
asked me about that—but I’ll tell you. Your role is <i>first</i>
to learn more
fully how to do God’s will. The <i>second</i> is to learn
how to love your
neighbors and to love yourself in spite of your foibles, in
spite of your
difficulties, and in spite of your weaknesses. And <i>third</i>,
you are
learning to love the God presence within you—that this is an
extension, the
essence, the fragment of the Father in Paradise, and through
this you become
greater. You have direct access to understanding and knowing
what God’s will
is, to discover your role in this work, and to discover how
you make a
difference. Your lives are not easy. We recognize that
fully. For no matter
whether you are a martyr in the Roman circus over 2000 years
ago or whether you
are living in a nation that is well developed, has a good
economy, and a high
quality of life, humans have difficulty. Mortals have
difficulty in the
challenges that they face in their lives wherever they are
and whatever century
and whatever condition their lives are. And <i>fourth</i>,
your role is to
assist us in the recovery plan. In some ways Christ Michael
has named this <i>The
Correcting Time</i>. That’s another way of saying
recovery. This is <i>The Recovery
Time</i>. This is The Correcting Time. On one side of that
is recovery—where
you will assist us in designing your societies; your social
institutions that
become functional and help the progress of your societies,
the growth of
individuals, the functionality of families so that they are
loving families and
teach children how to love one another equally. It is the
Correcting Time as
well—that is to correct the faults of the past—and the
recovery plan is side by
side with that. To correct the past, you must have a plan
for the future for it
to recover. This is being revealed to you slowly. </span></p>

have read about the 7 values and the morality and ethics
that emanate from
those values. Now, how do you apply that to your social
institutions? These
will be revealed to you slowly so that you become aware of
what works and what
does not work. You may wonder why it is that these values,
these lifestyles,
these beliefs that you live with that we call the
traditional beliefs and
values came into existence. At the time, there was a need
for them, and they
began to have values that espoused what the people wanted to
occur—the highest
status of a problem that they wanted to have resolved. It
was a “make do” type
of solution. Now, however, you are finding that those
traditional values and
beliefs and traditional solutions no longer serve the higher
purposes of your
societies for now you are inundated, you are surrounded by
social problems,
political problems, economic problems, and so on. There are
almost no fronts in
your life where you can point to and say: “Ha! This is
working so well! This is
wonderful!” For in fact you cannot point to any of those
areas that are working
well except perhaps in your own personal life where you see
your children
growing up and growing into well-balanced and loving,
capable individuals who
are socially competent, capable, and responsible. You can
point to other areas
in your life as well, but it becomes very personal doesn’t
it? </span></p>

future generations.
The challenge for you is to learn the new culture, the new
values, and new beliefs—the
new ways of living. This is the plan of the Correcting Time.
You are examples
of this. You, through your lives and living are helping us
design these new
social institutions into ones that not only work but work
very well and will
work for thousands of years to address the human problems
that arise
personally, socially, and globally. Your Creator has
provisioned you with the
values that will enable you to live a life that will
eventually take you to
Paradise—how to live right, how to love right, how to <i>give</i>
right, how to
receive right, and so on. <br>
You have the means within you to resolve the problems of
your society. It is
simply a matter of awakening to the resources within you
which is our job as

happy to do that.

Walt. My first
question is: In NET 97, Machiventa, you
revealed to us that, when we will and command something that
aligns with Christ
Michael’s will, we become as powerful as Christ Michael’s
own command. Now, I
have been daily praying for the Father’s and Christ
Michael’s will to have a
foothold on earth and for the Correcting Time team members
to be blessed with
the thrills of meeting their objectives at a rate to their
full satisfaction.
However, I would be thrilled if you would provide us with a
list of Christ
Michael’s top priorities that we mortals can daily practice
willing and
commanding into being. My hope is that we mortals can
partner with the light in
a way that mightily accelerates Christ Michael’s objectives
for this world. </span></p>

dear Walt. I do not
mean to kick sand in your face, but there is a certain
egoism in your request
that is a bit harsh. It is what you think ought to be done.
And a list would
help whom? Would it help you? Would it help the other
listeners, the other
readers, and so on? You know what Christ Michael’s order of
priorities are for
you: to love God as you love yourself; to love your neighbor
the same; and,
imminently, to will to do God’s will in your life, and to
discover that through
your daily actions, your daily decisions, and through
meditating, speaking, and
being a student of your Thought Adjuster—the God presence
within you. There is
sufficient work here for everyone to do by following these
simple three
recommendations. Even Christ Michael does not command you to
do them, but
recommends to you to do those things which will lead you
into Paradise and the
embrace of the Father. </span></p>

This is no kicking sand. It is a gift. Thank you. My second
question is: Based
on your commands in NET 99 and NET 100, I am concluding that
the three dominoes
of human downfall today are our conditioning, ego, and will.
First our negative
conditioning engages the ego in self-defeating ways. The ego
then uses the will
to commit to these self-defeating behaviors even in the face
of overwhelming
evidence that we should change course. Please evaluate this
understanding and
also advise us on how to spiritually pursue the healing of
our conditioning at
the three human levels; within ourselves as individuals,
within our affiliated
groupings—like families and communities—and globally.</span></p>

style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Certainly. The answers
to your
questions here echo what I said in my entry statement: that
you, as an
individual representative of all humanity on your world,
have for the most part
been indoctrinated, you have been enculturated and
socialized with beliefs and
values that are misaligned to the basic values that are
innate to each person.
You see those traditional values and beliefs were generated
to address
circumstances and situations such as you might find in an
ancient group of
individuals [where] someone who has betrayed the leader of
this hunting group
and all they have is spears, snares, and so on. After the
hunt everyone gathers
around the fire and discusses what occurred, and it becomes
evident that
everybody was quite disgusted by one individual who had not
been supportive of
the efforts of the leader. So, they said: “This is
disloyalty. What is required
is loyalty.” And so, there are two values here. One is to be
loyal to honest,
authentic, genuine, and benevolent leadership; and the other
is to not be
disloyal. So, it’s a twofold recommendation. So, in the
circumstances loyalty
became written into the code of the hunting group that they
would always be
loyal to the leader’s recommendations for that hunt, and
that after the hunt
they would evaluate together what they did right to be
successful as compared
to the past times when they were unsuccessful. And so, they
continued to learn
how to improve their hunting techniques as a team and a
group. They began to
have a brotherhood, let’s call it, or a sisterhood, where
each one made
allegiance to the group and to the leadership that the group
had. </span></p>

as you see, values began to be developed. Now, through the
centuries and millennia
to the present time, you can see how loyalty could be
eventually misaligned
with egotism, and to power, and to the great deterrence of
bigotry, hostility,
and hatred of everyone else who did not hold similar
beliefs. So, what you are
looking at now is the need for your society (and you
personally perhaps) and
others to examine their beliefs—their traditional beliefs
that they were taught
or that they assimilated when they were children. Do they
work? What benefit
are they? What are the extremes? Today many people who think
about loyalty
would never associate loyalty with hatred and bigotry
outside the group, but
that is what has happened has it not?</span></p>

Again, we recommend that the individual come into alignment
with the God
presence within them—to sit in meditation and intentionally
ask for guidance
through what this one calls “signs, symbols, and omens” to
be aware of the
guidance that is out there. We have called it the line of
crumbs leading you
out of the cave of darkness. We have also said it is the
string that you leave
behind so you can get out of that cave successfully. What
you’re looking at in
these changing times is signs and evidence around you that
God is at work, that
there is a way through this, and the way through is by the
contributions of
each individual—the same thing that you are asking about.
You see, these times
are times when it becomes more specific upon mortals to be
aware of the larger
happenings of spirit around them. And yes, sometimes we
actually do write it on
walls, on placards, and on those commercial signs you see
along the highway at
a particular time when you are asking about things that make
you wonder about
what to do. </span></p>

regarding what you
said just a moment ago about hammering those swords into
plowshares in respect
to nuclear weapons. Today nearly 13,000 nuclear warheads
worldwide are an
existential threat to life on Urantia. These weapons are
many times more
destructive that the two bombs dropped on Japan 75 years ago
which together
killed more that 200,000 people. Since 2017, there has been
in process a
comprehensive United Nations treaty on the prohibition of
nuclear weapons. It
is already adopted by 46 states. With 4 more signatories, it
will come into
force 90 days thereafter. All nuclear weapons will then be
illegal under
international law. However, among other violations of
international law, the
nuclear weapon states are improving and adding more lethal
weapons to their
arsenals. My country, the U.S., has committed 1.7 trillion
dollars over the
next 30 years to modernize and build new weapons. And
lastly, an association of
informed scientists sees the current nuclear threat to world
peace is the most
severe since the height of the cold war and the U.N.
secretary general warned
two days ago that the world is living in the shadow of a
nuclear catastrophe
fueled by the growing distrust and tension between the
nuclear powers. My
question then, Machiventa, is: Is there a way for our world
to expedite the
complete elimination of these weapons? Thank you.</span></p>

Your question harkens
us to discuss what it takes to destroy weapons, what it
takes to create new
weapons, what it takes to bend the rules, to then abridge
the rules, and that
is: the first phase of changing of bending of forging
nuclear weapons into
plowshares and helpful industry is in the minds of
individuals who make those
decisions. This is the ultimate first place to begin to
change your world from
destruction into peace and construction. It is a means by
which social
evolution occurs. As for the hardware, equipment, missiles,
bomb casings, and
the inner workings of bombs those are hardware. Those are
things of people, and
things of people are made through the minds of individuals
who design them and
those minds of individuals and groups of individuals who
execute the decision
to fund those programs of nuclear weapons and other weaponry
as well. We are on
the course to change the minds of people. We begin first
with individuals at
the local level. We begin with individuals who are earnestly
in touch with
their Thought Adjuster, those who are earnestly in touch
with God generally,
and with the celestials and through the church angels and so
on. Our work is to
bring your world into the Correcting Time where people begin
to say: “We no
longer need to have nuclear weapons.” And further they say:
“It is not them
that is the enemy, it is us.” [See below] And that is to
quote a very old Pogo
Sunday morning cartoon that was published many decades ago.
“We have seen the
enemy, and they are us.”, to quote the individual. This is
true. We, meaning
you (If I can use the third person for you), we are the
enemy. We are the worst
cause of our own misery. And that applies to weaponry and to
our enemies as to
the products of war that we produce. </span></p>

often withdraw love and approval to discipline a child.

style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Most certainly. Thank
you for your
question. This is totally doable and <i>is</i> being done
by some parents on
Urantia. On an enlightened world that truly does use
interpretations of values
and beliefs that are in alignment with the 7 values, ethics,
and morality,
parents realize that withdrawing love is highly punitive,
and that, in fact, it
is highly destructive to the psyche of the child and the
personality
development of the child as a social creature. The how of it
is this: that you
the parent, accept the behavior of the child as occurring.
That it is not
necessarily directed personally at the parent or some other
person, but that is
an expression of what’s going on in the child. The
correction of this is almost
opposite to the mortal response on this planet—and that is
that the child would
be embraced. Almost as though they had fallen down and hurt
their knee. And
that the parent would honestly and forthrightly be sorry
that they feel that
way, and that the child’s expression of their tantrum or
their abuse or however
they have reacted was not going to produce the results the
child was looking
for. This is the essence. This is the point that is so
essential throughout the
whole program of the Centers for Sustainable Families. This
is one very
enlightened process of teaching children, of engendering
children, to become
all that they can become and that they come to recognize
their anger, their
disappointment, their regret, or whatever feeling is that
generated their
child’s response is corrected appropriately. And that the
child learns by
example—that the parents would also not react as the child
has. </span></p>

basis for making this new form of—we would not call it

enculturation of peace—is through the parents who have
enculturated that within

the adult, the

style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">MM:</span></b><span
style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Thank you for your
question Walt. How
confident am I? I must answer forthrightly “not very.” The
difficulty, you see,
is generational. There may come into existence great
leadership in a nation
such as the United States or other nations, that is
disregarded—that doesn’t
make sense to the culture that has developed. For, you see,
that culture has as
its core a set of beliefs and values that identify that
culture. It takes years
and decades for a culture to imbed itself thoroughly into a
population—particularly a large, national population.
Cultures have
inertia—meaning that they have longevity to continue the
course of belief and
values that was set decades ago even when people are seeing
that they are
unproductive. It is difficult for a nation to do this
without some climactic
occurrence—some happenstance of great magnitude—that creates
an almost
instantaneous transformation. Now, the example of the
nuclear bombing of
Nagasaki and Hiroshima did truly create an immediate
transformation of belief,
values, and responses throughout the world. This is
something that will be
needed to change the course of traditional beliefs and
values in those
cultures. And you see, Walt, even though there was that
transformation, that
awareness, of instant destruction of tens of thousands of
people in a flash of
light, that still nuclear weapons were not only continued
but proliferated, and
the numbers of them were escalated by 10’s and 100’s. </span></p>

in survival situations where there is a determined effort by

Yes, it is true that the lack of progress on Urantia is
holding up the progress
of all worlds in Nebadon to proceed to the days of Light and
Life for the whole
local universe. This is where the patience of Divinity is
needed to encourage
backward worlds as Urantia to move ahead. And it is not out
of feelings of
guilt that are projected upon your world, for there is no
guilt projected at
all. Yes, there is an awakening in the consciousness of
humanity that is
necessary for this world to up step itself to the Days of
Light and Life. You
can call it fourth dimensional. You can call it whatever you
want, but it
requires a heightened consciousness of the
Superconsciousness within
individuals to make conscious choices that bring your world
into what they call
the fourth dimension. This is a part of [the] maturation of
a world, of a
civilization, and ultimately of each individual.</span></p>

what you alluded to is, yes, and that it takes time. And the
efforts of Christ
Michael in this situation are pervasive. I will go further
in making a
generalized statement rather than a response to your
question: The work of
Nebadonia is having positive results. She and her angelic
corps have had
positive influence in the minds of ordinary people—even
those people who
absolutely do not believe in God. Individuals are now coming
to a general
awareness that your world (our world) is in dire trouble.
Ultimately, people
will either make efforts to transform their societies and
learn to sustain
themselves, or there is the probability that civilization as
you know it now
will cease to exist. That is a probability, but not
necessarily an eventuality.
It is not a high probability, but it is a probability. And
that, through the
influence of Nebadonia and her angelic corps many people are
even now preparing
for the recovery of your cultures, your nations, your
societies, and your new
civilization after the cataclysms. This may seem
unbelievable, but it is
occurring and is beginning first on a technological basis. </span></p>

capable of producing zero-point energy in machines in the
near future. This
policy is now being softened so that there is a slow
process, an inkling in
individuals of how to produce abundant energy—as your sun
provides energy—on a
local basis. Your world will not have to worry about energy
needs, and not
destroy itself through the mining of petrochemical
substances in the earth. This
is a throttled approach to material revelation mechanisms
and invention. This
is fully controllable. As you know and as philosophers have
said, once an individual
is in possession of a new idea, their mind will not collapse
back to the same
size it was before. So, this information, once it is
widespread, enters
everyone and becomes another means, another mechanism,
another concept, another
mathematical formula or equation that will help the same
results in other
locations. Once the genie is out of the bottle, so to speak,
then consciousness
is in possession of it. Our job and Nebadonia’s job (if you
want to put it into

this added
information from the consciousness of those ingenious and
those inventive

Universal values: these values <i>are</i> universal. They
are universal to all
humans and they are universal to all worlds upon which
sentient life that is
invested with a Divine fragment live. I would not suggest
you come to identify

comprehend. There could
be many values that could be given to illustrate this point,
but I will leave
that to <i>you</i>. The chore that I have given you (handed

conform to the 7 values that are innate to humans and the

wondering if you have any comment about that. Oh, and one
