morning. I have my Melchizedek team gathered around me. They're all here to
make their reports as they were observers at the workshop that was just finalized
on Saturday. This was an intriguing learning exercise for us. It was totally
experiential. We assisted in its planning and initiation. We thank Liz Cratty
for initiating the workshops—the one in May and the one that recently occurred.
It requires someone to take the initiative to say “Gosh, I'd like to see a
workshop in our neighborhood too.” So that is how it occurs. We will continue
to tune up the workshop process both for the spiritual one that occurred in May
and this one, but particularly this one. The other one [May ‘21] had a natural
flow to it where people enjoyed the exercise of becoming more and more centered
and still and could practice the arts of meditation and silent T/Ring. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">This
design team process is something that we initiated a long time ago. It is not
new. It was begun during Roman times and Hebrew times long ago, and the
impediment to that was strong leadership which made everyone else a follower
and silent. Nonetheless, we strove to improve that process to make their social
organizations more flexible, with the possibility of developing and especially
evolving individuals, which is the primary purpose for individuals. Our work in
design teams is to assist societies to evolve. There is a penchant, an interest
[of mortals] to maintain the status quo in any society. Some cultures evolve socially
more than others, and some do not evolve at all. They want to keep what is
traditional, reliable, and understandable to them. For those individuals in
democratic nations, high risk is one of the commonalities that makes life
interesting—the challenge of overcoming difficulties, problems, and so on.
There must again be an individual or individuals who are willing to initiate
that staged evolutionary process. As we have outlined this through these social
institutions that This One has written about with the intense and direct aid of
Avalah Melchizedek, you have the prospects of seeing a staged evolutionary
development within social institutions, and eventually you'll see this as well
in academia with the interest in reinterpreting and reframing of the social
sciences—each of the major social science areas—and particularly social science
theories. Once a professor or some thoughtful individual realizes the
importance of seven universal and innate values and they begin to understand
this, it will make sense to create a new, reinvented theory of human
motivation, for example, a theory of ethics, and so on. Once you have a final
standard—an ultimate universal standard [of personal and social conduct] that
is measurable—then you can have progress. </span></p>

workshop provided Ahshah (who is our primary Melchizedek for relationship
training, preparation, and development) an opportunity to see what was going on
within the teams. The differences between the two teams were significant which
allowed him and his assistants to observe and understand what was going on, and
with the benefit of future training, to assist individuals on how to overcome
resistance in the team and how to slow down the rapid-racing movement in that
design team process in other cases. Of course, Sondjah was there, and was
primary to assisting the teams through This One as a T/R and team consultant. This
will continue to receive additional improvements in how this workshop is
developed and constructed. Azahlah, who is the primary Melchizedek among
several, who is involved in the execution of plans, was there to see how the
planning was executed and also to assist in the execution of the planning that
went into this workshop. </span></p>

may ask why it is that sustainability—material sustainability, social
sustainability—is of such importance. You, as participants in the Correcting Time
and the Teaching Mission, have an insight into that. Sustainability has to do
with preparing for the future. It is a topic that you can connect the
activities and readings that you're doing now with the reality that today we
and you must be involved in developing the plans and executing those plans that
will sustain your grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all future
generations. As you know, your societies and your world are way past the
tipping point for halting global warming and so on, such that now it is time to
think about the future as there's really nothing people can do to change the
situation that exists right now. Even if everybody stopped using fossil fuels,
the [hole in the] ozone layer became smaller, and the particulates in the air
from fossil fuels burning and using became lessened, it would still take 50
years to come to a point that was reminiscent of the times and centuries before
the Industrial Revolution began. And if you say, “Well then why are we doing
this?” You have taken a very egoistic, self-centered perspective in your
statement. We are doing this for the future as a service. <i>You</i> are doing
this as a service to the future. This is an opportunity where you have nothing
to gain personally but everything to gain for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren
and so on. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Your
world has never been in a situation like this before. So, it is an irony that
for those who are unaware of the connection to the far distant future in two generations
and forward, that sustainability is the solution to a question that they have
never asked. That irony is considerable. Making the connection to the future
without reward today is an incredible feat of both imagination and self-imposed
altruism in your service to the future. You recall that your own great-grandparents
did the same thing for you as they came to this country even as those from
other nations come to this country today for which their children and great-grandchildren
will be very, very thankful that they did so. There is another remarkable irony
and we have stated this too in general terms and that is that the development
of the macroeconomic, political, and military situation in your world is all
tied together, and as Monjoronson told you so many years ago, the distribution
of the goods that are available will be the greatest problem that you will
encounter during this early cataclysm. And it has come true, has it not? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The
irony is this: that as you and we work for peace, your nations, your world,
your military industrial complexes, are becoming more and more incapable of
fulfilling their missions—their duties—to continue on. Economies must now work
together [rather] than oppose each other in severe competition. And so, the
elements that need to arise now are those that are peaceful, those that bring
harmony and [what] we call <i>complicit peace</i>—that everybody has a part in
the outcome so that they must become more peaceful in order to do business in
the future. </span></p>

statement I’m making this morning has nothing to do with the decimation as you have
been informed. What we are interested in is that we have the full participation
of everyone to work for the benefit of good business practices, being ethical
and moral, and that the conduct of nations is more cooperative. You see, most
of the problems that you see in the world today can be overcome by the nations
that are involved. You have the resources; you are lacking a bit of time, but
nonetheless, when nations begin to work together, they can resolve these
problems and progress is self-rewarding. That is what is remarkable and
traumatically ironic about it—you do have the resources to make your world a
veritable paradise even now with so many people. It would be even more of a
paradise for those who live in a world that has the means to support them well.
It is a matter of choosing to do so and willing to be a part of the solution
rather than part of the problem. </span></p>

is our hope, as I have said before, that we eventually have a cadre of a
100,000 T/Rs in this nation alone and throughout the world, there would be at
least a million or more who are in communion and in communication with us and
who think as we do, hold the same standards as we do, and who want to bring
about peace and harmony in the world. We know there will be problems with that,
and some will be self-acclaimed gods, prophets, and so on, but we feel that the
greater benefit will come from those people who are already humble, God-knowing,
and simply seek to have the voice of Spirit come through them for the benefit of
their family, community, and the world. </span></p>

you see, as one sage individual suggested, that we have two workshops: one for
the spiritual expansion and enlightenment of individuals to learn how to T/R—become
clairaudient channels—and then another for these design teams. It is a very
important combination and can occur many times a year when we have more
workshop facilitators at hand. And one of our hopes for the next few short
years is to train more and more people to become workshop facilitators, team
facilitators, and those who understand T/Ring and the process that it involves.</span></p>

must understand and have a common language of <i>institutions</i>. There are at
least four different variations of the word “institutions,” and so it is
necessary to know what you are speaking about when you use the word
institutions. Not knowing that, I will move ahead and strive to answer at least
one of four possibilities. The institutions you speak of are using
interpretations of those core values. It is <i>interpretations</i> that have
caused great confusion about the many values involved in ethics, for example, and
human motivation. Most if not all values that are stated in sociology, cultural
anthropology, and so on and written about in popular literature, deal with
interpretations of the seven core values. What has not happened and has not
been able to occur is the analysis or striving by social scientists to find and
to reduce the values that they've been using to much more basic values. And not
having a universal base, then you have even more variations in social theories
for instance. There are a number (approximately 20) well versed theories of
human motivation. Were those social scientists to understand and know the seven
core values, you could be sure that you would find a commonality after they
have reinterpreted their theories. The next question please. </span></p>

For instance, if you take life as a primary value then cooperation with others
is necessary as a secondary or applied value of the value of life so that you
can live with others in the community for foraging, hunting, and protection. So,
cooperation is a value, and it is developed from the other values. When you
talk about [equality], then cooperation would want the support of everyone in a
tribe, community, or clan to assist in the protection of the social group and
for other central chores and functions within the community such as food
gathering, food preparation, hunting, and weapon and tool making. The aspect of
growth does truly require cooperation. So, you see we do not term cooperation
as a single, separate value unto itself. It <i>is </i>a value, most <i>definitely</i>
it is a value, as it is important to the conduct of human existence in social
organizations. Thank you. </span></p>

touch with us on a regular basis. My question today is about the statement you
made around hydrocarbons: Even if we were to stop today, it would take 50 years
for the atmosphere to return to preindustrial levels. And my comment is that
carbon emissions are still <i>increasing</i> even with all of the awareness
that we have in society. It seems to be the biggest focus problem that we have
as a species that we all seem to agree on, and yet we don't seem to be able to
address the problem, and it seems to me and my question is: What will it take
for all industrial nations to get together to a point where we can really
tackle this problem? We've seen cataclysms of the small scale happen. There
doesn't seem to be enough to convince people to do something about it as carbon
emissions are increasing year by year still today and renewable energy doesn't
seem to be able to overcome the demand for energy. Do you have an answer for
this? </span></p>

Stéphane. This is Machiventa Melchizedek. It is one thing to gather 165 nations
together who unanimously say this is a really good idea and we're willing to
sign on the paper. And so, they do that. And for some nations, it is simply a
means of sidestepping the obligations that technologies require. You have it
right, but one aspect that I'm sure that you're aware of but have not stated is
that it is one thing to write and sign documents, it's quite another then to
develop the technologies that replaced old fashioned, archaic, and polluting
technologies. That is a slow process. You may recall the electrification of
North America—the United States and Canada. It was initiated in New York in the
late 1800s and progressed from there, but This One can tell you that his family
did not receive electricity on their farm until 1948. So, the progress of
technologies takes quite a while to generate the appropriate ones that can
replace the old ones. So, you have the lag of technologies. If you think in
terms of a nuclear reactor that produces electricity, one that is a proven,
safe design, it still takes anywhere from 5 to 15 years to construct. Some of
the behemoth nuclear electrical generating plants took a long time. One may
surmise, then, it would make more sense to have smaller ones on a community
basis, but that is a variation of that technology. The problem is that not all
nations have surplus incomes to put into technologies. The way that corporations
are working now, what we see are money based, they do not want to stop
producing income while they develop their new technologies. As you know, money
drives the wheels of material progress on your world. And so, it is all linked
back to that. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:105%;margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Let
me state this in an ideal situation. Let us say that there was a technology
that came along that could be made by local community engineers and people who
are mechanically minded that could be used on a household basis. And that the
materials would be provided gratis by industries that would receive a tax
credit for doing so, so that local people could make their own electrical
generations on a household basis, in an apartment complex, or large building.
This would change the equation of the lack of progress that you were hoping for
in the pollutants. You could see a huge change within one year. Is that
possible? Is it feasible? There are theoretical engineers who work with such
technologies who say it is possible, and that it hasn't been profitable enough
to replace older technologies for companies that still are deeply invested in
those old technologies to continue making their profits. </span></p>

there are many levels of conflict going on in your world today. You have some
nations that barely even have electricity in their major cities, and yet there
are other local communities that are run totally and solely on solar
electricity. Interesting, isn't it? And so how that becomes worldwide—the best
solutions, the best technologies are quite difficult. And when you have
indigenous people still burning cow dung to heat their pots for cooking, you
can see how the variation is incredibly wide. On the other hand, getting people
to comply with these necessities of survival for their grandkids is an issue
unto itself. I thank you for your question and I apologize that I do not have a

to your first question and that is: once they're dead, they will not protest
anymore. If you recall the pollution this year in Beijing and other major
cities around the world, they, in fact, stopped factories from working,
automobiles were limited to emergencies and emergency agencies to use their
vehicles to help their society. When you see the whole planet at that density
of pollutants, then you'll see willing change, glad change, people willing to
sacrifice their quality of life just to live easily. That's a <i>very</i>
severe example, but the possibility of that occurring is only too real I'm
afraid to say. I'm not afraid to say, but it's just hard to put that on you
when you're already aware of the decimations that <i>are</i> occurring and <i>will
</i>occur even more so in the future—that air pollution will be a major part of
that happening, and as you say, it continues to grow. One of the engines of pollution
is simply more people. If you can't develop the industries, the social
compliance, the institutionalized and governmentalized necessities for reducing
population, you'll never be able to handle your pollution problems simply
because the population grows at a certain percentage. And if this were to
continue, you would be <i>severely </i>overpopulated, and at the same time you
would probably have increased [levels of pollution] to at least match that of
the increasing population, if not <i>more</i> so. So, this is not a simple
process of substituting some safe and healthy fuel for the petrochemical
sources of energy, locomotion, and power. Does this make sense to you? </span></p>

Let me answer the primary one. Yes, there were T/Rs in the early era, but they
did not have the efficacy, and they were not efficacious simply because the
spiritual entities that they were tuning into were not validated as being of
the Light—meaning that they were tuning into animistic entities, magical
entities, and so on. The clarity which the adjudication brought to your world
is immense, so that the ones who were T/Ring in, let's say, a tribal council were
the witch doctor or the spirit leader of the tribe who may or may not have had access
to the midwayers and to the angels thereabouts. Remember too that a lot of the
spiritual guidance that was provided to tribal councils and similar bodies was
often promoted or generated through peyote, through marijuana, and through
morning glory seeds and other psychogenic substances. This causes its own havoc
among people and thinking. Have I answered that part of your question and the
other part, please? </span></p>

mysticism—contact with God—was held at arm's length if not further by organized
religions. And that the mystical traditions within organized religions have their
own press, so to speak, where they share their mystical experiences and how to
generate that with others who wanted to explore that. That was all very
secretive. Many of the manuscripts of mystics were destroyed, or at least
sequestered in private libraries of the church. As you have seen through these
two decades of this millennium and backwards to, well let's say the last 50
years, printed matter for mystical experiences in Spirit-centered experiences
has broadened and broadened greatly. The unfortunate aspect is that your
species and some ethnic groups and cultures truly enjoy dabbling in the dark
arts of mysticism and that is not the mysticism that you are acquainted with or
want to be because those are harmful. As you know Voodoo is a real religion. It
is a real cultural aspect of many other dominant cultures, and it continues to

science Melchizedek. I won't do so now, but that can be done some time in the
future. The zero-point energies technologies are developing and there is an
impediment in doing so that when they are successful, they are so otherworldly
in nature and possibility that they are hard to be accepted by traditional
engineers and scientists. This is one of those social-cultural impediments that
this wonderful thing could be possible. But yes, these are occurring, and as
they occur there are improvements being made to solar cells and so on, and many
technologies are continuing to be improved. Zero-point energy has come to the
development in some places where there have been home based technologies for
electrifying a home, and these have not come forward as you are aware. You
recall the trauma that occurred in the automotive industry when there were
technologies that were developed for high performance carburetors and so on.
These were bought up by wealthy companies and never developed. Only in the last
50 years have those technologies come forward, and now you have computer driven
injector systems which are highly efficient and can be programmed for various
occasions. But the answer is yes, they do exist. Some are closeted, some are
known, and some are striving to be developed by individual investors and
individual engineers, which makes progress very slow. I apologize for the
halting nature of my discussion of this. I thank you for your question, however.</span></p>

groups is real. It is something that you will encounter when you enter the morontia
world and you have completed your basic enculturation and socialization schools
and grades. And afterwards, you will progress to a higher-level soul group. As
you progress through the earliest levels of your socialization and inculturation
process, you will be part of a, you may call it a soul group, but it is really
a classroom basis where you begin learning the process of working in a group
with others. [Daniel was interrupted] You were socialized to this group and in
the process, you began the socialization towards other, higher groups. And as
you progress through all of the mansion world schools, you will always be part
of a group, part of a team. In the higher levels, you will become part of a
team where there are individuals who transit in and out of that team and some
progress, some <i>will</i> progress, <i>must</i> progress so that they are able
to come into the lower levels of a higher-level team. What occurs is that there
is a maturation process. And remember, that the Grand Universe has an
experiential benefit at all levels of existence even to the absonite so that as
you gather experience from working together, you gather experience from your
mortal life, and you gain experience with the advisement and council of your
team leaders, who are various spiritual beings which would include your
personal guardian, other angels, and other spiritual entities—instructors who
are permanent members of the teaching and training corps on those morontial
training worlds. </span></p>

aspect that I know you're curious about and the only aspect that is beneficial
to share here is that you work in your soul group as a newbie, so to speak, to
talk with others and share your experiences that you brought with you. And so,
everybody benefits from the life that you had that you explain to them and
share. Your soul group there will also talk about what you need to learn and the
circumstances in which you can learn. In many regards, I know it is anathema to
<i>The Urantia Book</i> community, but nonetheless, it is in your soul group in
the Morontial worlds that you choose with others the type of life that you will
go back to, and be born into, and live. You will also be given the knowledge
beforehand—you have agreements (you would call them karmic agreements, perhaps.
That seems to be the best word for it.) between yourself and some of your soul
group team members in that school setting in the morontial realm that you will
help each other. And these meetings in your earthly life are happenstance.
There are grand coincidences. You will not recall your agreements either one of
you, or several of you, but nonetheless, you will select the family into which
you will be born, the type of parents [your] mother and father will be, your
siblings, and some of your siblings may be an individual from your own soul
group. You will have a certain camaraderie with this child in your family, some
other family, at school, or so on in your mortal experience who seems to be a
real helpmate to you—helping you with your life and to interpret it and so on. </span></p>

then, of course, if you're really immature in this process, you will choose a
life of ease, a life of great riches and wealth. But nonetheless you'll have
the challenge of how to become a whole and complete person during your mortal
lifetime even with the anchor of wealth hung around your neck. Wealth is one of
the impediments of soul growth, and very few mortals are able to overcome the
spiritual stigma of being wealthy because wealth has a very highly detrimental
and corrupting influence upon most mortals. It is the wise old soul who would
pick such a situation in the later stages of their soul development to come to
the world being born into a wealthy family. And we have seen these people, you
know of these people. They have used their wealth to great advantage and not to
their self-aggrandizement. When you begin to understand the individuals around
you who are wealthy and mischievous, then you know that they are an immature
soul and that they will take back to their soul group these lessons which are
sometimes incredibly severe. To come to this world and spend a lifetime without
accruing 1 gram of soul weight, is <i>horrendous</i>. You won't be criticized
for that, but you will feel shame even in those evolved spiritual
circumstances. But no one will shame you. You ‘ll feel that you have let
yourself down, and how you measure that is that your fellow soulmates in your
soul group will have progressed, and you’ll have to go back to the soul group
behind you. So obviously, you did not learn some lessons that you needed to
reprogram the course of your mortal journeys. So, unbeknownst to you as mortals
in this lifetime, there are wonderful people who come into your life who will
be of great assistance. So, revel in their company, enjoy their presence, and
know that somehow, maybe, just maybe, you two made some agreements before you
came here. Thank you. </span></p>

give you the short answer and that is that they do hear. They do have a Thought
Adjuster with them, at least did have. Some of them will not have anything to
do with God in this lifetime (which they think is the only lifetime), and so
they have chosen not to hear the call from their Thought Adjuster or from their
guardian. To use a phrase “Let me tell you,” your guardian and your Thought Adjuster
will go to the ends of the earth and the end of the universe to wake up minds
that are sleeping and dull—that need to be aware of the potential that they
have within them. And once a mind is made up to such a degree, then they do
become spiritually dull, and do not have the spiritual intelligence to make
that work in this lifetime for their greatest benefit even while as a mortal.

very sorry that I was unable to attend the workshop, and I certainly hope that
I can do so in the future. My question is very mundane compared to what's been
discussed this morning, but it seems to me that in the current emergency that
has been created by our politicians to try to show their ESG [JT: <b>E</b>nvironmental,
<b>S</b>ocial, <b>G</b>overnance] credentials where they have turned off the
sources of energy necessary to protect people from winterization and to protect
people's jobs and livelihood and things, particularly in Europe, it seems that
the scramble on the short term to get through this winter at any cost is
causing politicians to go backwards where they're saying, okay, let's reopen
the coal fire plants, let's get all the coal we can whatever energy source is
available, and in doing so, it seems like this possibility of the world
cooperating on energy resources to be more equitably delivered is going
backwards. And there's talk about re-embracing nuclear power as the only stop
gap between closing hydrocarbons and getting enough renewables. Is there
anything that you wish to comment about on this situation? </span></p>

that I could speak to. But the first one is that there is that “getting on
board” phase that occurs with humans. Politicians love to get on board with
something that is popular, that is needed, and necessary so they promote things
rapidly and do not think through the longitudinal process of the developments
that are required to make these technologies work—ones that are fair where
there is a gradual diminution or devolution of old technologies that give way
slowly to new technologies. And so, they put out an executive order to close
coal plants, coal mines, and coal-based technologies instantaneously or within
a few weeks or months. And that is fundamentally a very, I wouldn't say
calculated (it would be quite the opposite of that) you know, knee jerk,
executive decisions in response to public interest which is suicidal, and that
is what you're seeing. It causes great confusion in policy development and
understanding in the public of what is going on in their nation and their
world. And the closing of coal-fired plants is one of them. You start with the
oldest plant and, of course, the least efficient and begin closing those. So,
you see, to summate all of what you have said, is that there is “fuzzy thinking”
going on. Thank you. </span></p>

Yes, wholeheartedly. This is a wonderful idea that you are promoting, and it is
one that is, as you see, generated from the fold—from the cohort—of the
workshop, and this is good. It's much better than from a top-down decision to
record everything and so on. It is our wish in the future, that yes, these
would be recorded and secondly that as our design team workshop outline and
process becomes more and more professional, that it will be also video recorded
with the permission of the participants as the dynamics that go on within a team—seven
people for instance—are incredible. It is one thing to read about a design team,
and it is <i>quite </i>another to participate in one. And that is why we call
it the design team <i>process</i>. You are beginning to understand the
complexities of working in a group, and <i>letting </i>the group process mature,
age, and sometimes become sour before it can become sweet again. And so, not
everyone understands team process, group process, group dynamics, and this is a
wonderful way to teach people. Also, when it is video recorded and those sticky
situations are recorded and shared, [it helps] others in their communities who desire
to start their own design team to understand the difficulties that will occur,
how to overcome them, and how to let the process become profitable. </span></p>

the end, let's say your company saw the merit of having a design company within
the company (a paid team and then there would be rotation in and out of the
team for other staff members) that you would see that the maturity of a group
becomes much more productive in time. This one has seen situations where a mature
design team has thoroughly worked through a problem and situation in less than
a day, less than eight hours. Everyone begins to understand the inherent
questions that need to be asked, how to answer them, and also to bring in those
situations that <i>are</i> fuzzy, <i>are</i> confusing and need to be thought
through. So, you have just barely wet your whistle on the design team process.

You can look forward to the time where your name too is on the side of a
building thanking you for your generosity and for your contribution to the
greatness that other people and future generations are enjoying. As I see This One
is choking in the throat, I will use this as a natural opportunity to say God
bless you and know that we do bless you in every possible way—those that you
know and those that you don't know. Good day. </span></p>
