Melchizedek, your planetary manager, and once again it is my pleasure to be
here with you to provide you with information about these critical times on
your world and to answer your questions if you have any. Today my opening
statement deals with assumptions. Most of you have had the experience of
speaking to someone either in a classroom or a personal conversation where you
have been corrected about one of your assumptions—an assumption that you've
held all your life. And you assumed that this statement that you have been
holding in your mind has been true and you have made decisions based on that
assumption or assumptions. So, it comes as quite a shock to you when your assumption
is shattered—is erased with the sure knowledge that your assumption was
mistaken and was misplaced, and you could have made better decisions along the
way had you not had that assumption. Now where you got that assumption is
important though the critical thing is that you become aware that you had an
assumption. The chore then is to examine all of your beliefs—the major ones in
your life—and examine them as to whether they are true or not. Usually
assumptions are always behind opinions, biases, prejudices, and bigotries. And of
course, those are always behind hatred, resentment, condescension, and so on. So,
it is important as believers that you examine your beliefs and test them, and
to test them with someone you trust—some source that you know is valid and that
you respect. </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">Now
the truly biased and prejudiced individual will not want to do that and so they
will not do that, and they will continue to live their life and make decisions
based on their erroneous opinions that are based on an erroneous assumption. Now
that is one thing to examine it as an individual, it is quite another when you are
part of a group that also has the assumptions and operates that way because of
those assumptions. Whether you are a member of the National Rifle Association
or not, you have opinions about that organization. (I use that only as an
example because most people are aware of it and its purposes and those people
who do not belong to it and why they do not.) There are various assumptions
behind each position—whether being a member or not a member—and so it is true
of all other associations and groups that you belong to whether you were a
card-carrying, dues-paying individual or 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
importance of this becomes even greater as the size of the group becomes larger.
There are 50 states within the United States and there are provinces within
other countries (call them districts or whatever you want to name them) and
there are certain biases, opinions, and prejudices based on untested
assumptions. Now some assumptions are good. For instance, when you throw a ball,
you have the assumption that it will fall to the ground. Now that is a <i>proven</i>
assumption. You [don’t have to] understand the equation in mathematics behind Sir
Isaac Newton’s discoveries to know that gravity works, but you assume that
those are accurate as you have thrown a ball hundreds if not thousands of times,
and it always strikes the ground. As you get into larger areas and larger
groups of people—now up to the size of a nation—each nation is supported by certain
assumptions, and these assumptions have led many nations into dire
circumstances and even to World Wars. </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">It
is unfortunate that assumptions are so insidious sometimes, as they are so
dangerous. And then we could take this up one more notch to the planetary level—that
all civilization operates on the basis of certain assumptions—and that the
organization of societies, nations, cultures, and so forth are based on
assumptions. Now when <i>those</i> are overturned, that causes tremendous
difficulty. It changes the trajectories—the paths, courses—of cultures and
whole nations. Copernicus did that. Galileo did that, and so did Sir Isaac
Newton. They said that the orbits of planets around the sun is due to velocity
and gravity so that the planets are suspended in orbits around the mass of the
sun. Christopher Columbus also did the same thing. There had been others before
him who had traveled—those individuals from Scandinavian countries had traveled
west and discovered the new land—the Americas—almost 1,000 years before
Christopher Columbus discovered the Americas. Nonetheless the significance of
Columbus’s work is that he had proven that the world is <i>not</i> flat, but
that it is round. And so, through hundreds of years, thousands of years, people
had assumed that the world was flat, and that if you got to the edge you would
fall off to someplace—never described. However, on a globe such as the earth
there is no edge, you just simply keep sailing until you are over the horizon
from where you had come so the horizon always lives before you. </span></p>

really, truly based on assumptions, whereas the physical sciences have
mathematics to prove them and their theories, and that those theories are
proven by mathematics to exist and also by the hard substance of experience—that
you can experience certain things and realize that those scientific theories
are accurate. However, if you divide the world—if you use this radical
reductionism that This One likes to use—you realize that there are physical
sciences and social sciences (and yes there are many other sciences, but for
our purposes we are dividing your world into two sets of theories—the physical
sciences and their theories and the social sciences and their theories.) </span></p>

whereas I have just stated that the physical science theories are supported by
mathematics, there is no mathematics that supports the social sciences theories.

unchallengeable theories based on timeless constants that support social
theories. You rely upon the fact that tradition has used these social theories
and trusted in them to conduct business in your social world for centuries. Social
theories….</span></p>

social constants are discovered and then applied to reinvent the social
sciences and their theories, and then apply those theories—those proofs—to the
social institutions of your societies? I know this takes you far away from your
spiritual belief system, but in truth this is how we are working to bring you
and your world into a state of social sustainability and peace—social stability
which must precede the Days of Light and Life. You will not have peace—social stability—until
those constants—those unwavering, immutable, irreducible, social constants are
discovered. And what are they? Well, my friends, we have talked about them
hundreds of times and they're called social values—the seven values that are innate
to humans. A far more accepted word is <b><i>motivators</i></b>. The theories
of human motivation have not yet been redesigned to reflect the presence of
those innate motivators—those seven values as timeless and universal constants
of all humans. Once those seven values are recognized as universal, timeless,
immutable, and irreducible motivators and values of human actions and decisions,
then your theories will change radically. And what I mean by radically is that
they will no longer be based on opinions but upon the redesign of those
theories based on the constants of the innate motivators of the Homo sapiens
species. And that, my friends, will change everything. And for those of you who
are interested in political science, you will come to the realization that
democracies truly do reflect the best expression politically of the human
values of life, freedom, equality, and growth. Only within a democratic regime
is it possible for people to exercise those seven values without interference
from the state. This is not so, as you know, from nations that are not
democratic in nature. </span></p>

remarks are spot on to what I have been grinding on since our last get together.
It's sort of rare for you to mention a book for us to read, and when you
mentioned <i>Journey of Souls</i> by Michael Newton I immediately went to
Amazon and downloaded it on my Kindle. And I had always had the assumption from
many, many years ago reading in <i>The Urantia Book</i> that our souls started
on Urantia. I went and looked it up and sure enough on the paper 164 under “Healing
the Blind Beggar” in the fourth paragraph down [UB 164:3.4] it says: “There was
throughout all of these regions a lingering belief in reincarnation. The older
Jewish teachers together with Plato, Philo, and many of the Essenes, tolerated
the theory that men may reap in one incarnation what they have sown in a
previous existence; thus, in one life they were believed to be expiating the
sins committed in preceding lives. The master found it difficult to make men
believe that their souls had not had previous existences.” And I used that as
an assumption of the truth of that statement for at least the last 35 years. I
read about half of this book by Michael Newton and for the rest of the group
that maybe has not done this, these are stories told to him under hypnosis of
his clients about their journey after death on Urantia back to their "cohort”
(I am using the word “cohort” because it was used two weeks ago) and what we in
this group would call the Mansion World. These are large issues for me to
reconcile, Machiventa. Could you add additional commentary to help me?</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"><b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif">MM:</span></b><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif"> Well, my good friend, Jeff Cutler, you
have made an error in your questions by assuming that all of us were using the
same language and same words that you were using. One is that <i>souls</i> has
one definition according to the Urantia Book which is accurate without
variation. The use of reincarnation is a word that has many connotations,
definitions, and interpretations. You are accurate and Christ Michael was
accurate when he gave those same instructions to his followers—that the soul is
genuine, is real, authentic, singular in its existence from the time that the Thought
Adjuster and the individual personality become active together, and when that
is the first instance of that soul with an individual, that is the beginning of
the soul’s existence, and it is fully realized as permanent and eternal with
the eventuality of the fusion of the individual with the Thought Adjuster. This
is not to say that the soul does not return for more experiences. It is simply
that the person does not. There is the soul and the personality, and the
Thought Adjuster, but not the person as you would know a person.</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">Now,
this may seem confusing and ambiguous, but it is not. It is the business of the
soul and the Thought Adjuster—particularly the Thought Adjuster—to increase the
weight of the soul so that it is able to remain in existence in the morontial
realm. If you look, there is no mention of the possibility of the soul
returning to a mortal existence in another mortal to gain further experience. As
far as returning to expiate the sins and errors of the former lifetime, that is
non-existent. It is one interpretation that has been long in existence which is
erroneous and has become in itself an assumption of human existence. It is the
work of the Thought Adjuster (and I am verifying this now with the Thought Adjuster
of the planet) that individual Thought Adjusters can return for more experience
within the realm of a lifetime of another mortal. You may examine that in the
text and see if this is in error or 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">Remember
that <i>The Urantia Book</i> was put together by midwayers under the
authorization of Melchizedeks and a commission to bring this book into
existence. It was also edited by humans who had the authority to do so. When
they made <i>decisions</i> to do so, those were their decisions and that would
not be faulted by anyone. Thus, there are existent editorial flaws involved in
the document which are not revealed to you. I know that these statements fly in
the face of what you've been led to believe, what you have assumed and in the
tradition that you have learned from. The skills of living life are difficult. Many
fail. Many need time to reframe their lives and need to re-interpret their
former existence in new terms which the soul group would help you do. Everyone,
from your guardian to your soul group, to your Thought Adjuster and everyone in
between has the duty and responsibility to assist you—the personality—to grow
to the point of union with your Thought Adjuster. Everyone is rooting for you. Everyone
is assisting you to do so. There are no violations involved in learning from
other lives—whether that is to return in another mortal, the same soul, or whether
it is from your soul group in the Morontial World. </span></p>

beautiful, sunny blue sky in Alberta today. It’s the coldest day of the year, but
it's that time of the year and welcome. My question today is around your
comment that you made earlier about this society moving from beliefs and actions
stemming from physical sciences to beliefs and actions stemming from social
sciences. And I want to also link that to your comment two weeks ago that it is
your hope to have a cadre of 100,000 T/Rs in the United States and a million
around the world. My question today is: What is it going to take to get us
there? You’ve mentioned the decimation of the population will force us towards
being more reflective. And I do believe that because the pandemic has forced us
to be more selective about society in general and what's good for society in
general. Is this the only driver as more and more of the decimation occurs that
will drive men and women to think more in terms of the seven values here and
that will drive our decision making and our belief system.</span></p>

statement. Your opening question was: “What will it take to get us there?” We
have answered that many times in the past. And then your secondary question was:
“Is the pandemic just one part of the decimation as an answer to that question “What
will it take?” The answer is that there's more than just the decimation and the
pandemic and other causes of the die off that will move people to want to become
more spiritually centered—God centered—and have an actual one-on-one
relationship with their guardian, with the Melchizedeks (as myself), and with
many other spiritual beings. What it comes down to, my friend, is the will of
the individual. If you, and let us use you and others here today as examples, <i>will</i>
to become clairaudient transmitters—channels, you may <i>will</i> to do so. And
in doing so you also must ask your spiritual assistants—your guardian and Thought
Adjuster—to assist you in training your mind to be open and willing to receive
that information—that conversation. You have many years of life that you have
been here, and you have learned many habits of thinking, many of which do not
work for the actual process of clairaudient channeling. It is not that you can
unlearn those, as they are there, but you can diminish their power to control
your thinking and your willingness and openness to receive information from
beings that are not physically present with you and who in fact might be
tremendous distances from you—outside your solar system and other places, in other
dimensions—in the morontial dimensions for example. What will it take? It takes
dedication. It takes commitment. Ultimately it takes that decision that you
have decided to accept these voices in your mind and that you ask for assistance
in discerning the truthfulness and authenticity of these voices. </span></p>

you have been raised to know that hearing voices is a facet of auditory
hallucinations which is dangerous. On the other hand, when you are hearing voices
that speak truths which are verifiable, you must take that into consideration. What
does it take? And the reason why we're not addressing what it takes for millions,
or billions of people is because “what it takes” is for the individual to make
that decision, to make that commitment, to make that fervent request of the Thought
Adjuster—the God presence within them—to have personal contact and
communication with their guardian, with the Thought Adjuster, Melchizedeks, and
other beings. Just one individual. So, when you ask that question, you’re
really asking about that for yourself, Stéphane: “What will it take for <i>me</i>
to become a clairaudient channel?” Whether it’s clairaudient or whether it is
in stillness and silence within your mind—whether you hear and speak it to
others is one thing, whether you hear it and listen to it by yourself in your
mind is another. It begins by listening to that voice within yourself. That's
what it takes, and then it requires that you be discerning of that voice, the
content of the voice. And the earliest beginnings of discernment are: Is a
voice telling me something that is fearful, or is egoistic? So those are the
basis and basics of discernment. From there you would listen to what the voice
has to say, and you would check that with yourself, your Thought Adjuster—asking
your Thought Adjuster or your guardian to validate what you hear. And that may
seem like you're just asking to go deeper into the problem, but in reality, you
are asking independent beings to validate what you—you as a person—hear and whether
that's true or not. With this question and answer, you begin to discern the
voice that is within your mind. I hope this is more explicit instruction than
you received in the past, and we do wish and hope that you do hear and hear
authentically. Thank you.</span></p>

These are interesting and tough sentences to listen to. My thought is (maybe you
will turn it into a question Machiventa, who knows?) our cultural assumptions are
also what we're talking about here. We’re born into a cultural database that is
then in our heads as we grow spiritually, and it seems to me over the past [few]
hundred years there have apparently been more clairaudient individuals (who may
have been driven by fear or egoism) but were in the public awareness written or
talked about and gradually sucked into the general cultural assumptions of each
nation, ethnic group, or religious group. It seems to me that the planet is
producing more and more individuals who have a broader sense of spiritual
awareness—more benign, non-judgmental, unassuming sense of spiritual awareness.
Is this counted as progress by our celestial management group? (There’s a
question.)</span></p>

it, but yes, it is recognized as progress that spirituality and clairaudient
work by individuals is becoming more widespread, but not to the extent that it
was as widespread and almost totally accepted within indigenous tribes and
peoples of that sort. You see, the natural religion of many early indigenous
groups (American indigenous people for instance—the original people) had a
spirituality that was invested in their culture. What has occurred through the
scientific era and empiricism is that [it] has been beaten back severely over
the decades and centuries as not reliable according to the scientific method and
so on. Yet there is a <i>very</i> large group in the world who does accept that
spirit is real, that there is "something else going on" in the world
and that it does not have to do with science, physics, mechanics, and so on. And
this is the population that we are relying upon to have a percentage of people

industries of learning and education to help people bridge the gap from what
was traditional to what is new, and that will awaken the new era that will lead
to peace and social stability. I thank you for your question and your statement.
You are awakening to this yourself and have been doing so for some time and we
congratulate you. Thank you.</span></p>

preparedness at the national level for the concern of this society and of the
population—the public—is very poor. Preparations at the national, state, and
regional levels are almost always for those stations of authority and positions
of authority and control so that <i>they</i> remain. There is a little regard
for helping and guiding individuals and communities to become more
self-sufficient. Once again it is a matter of distribution as you're seeing
from the lack of distribution doing to hundreds of thousands if not millions of
containers on ships that are waiting to be unloaded in the ports. The goods are
there, it is simply a matter of distribution to get them to the people who want
them and need them. Your concern, as you know yourself and you have done for
yourself, is that you are preparing for the days where there will be little
available, and so you want to be able to have those material supports for you
in the wilderness where you live to take care of you and support you were you
not able to go to the store. And if you were at the store, you'd find that the
shelves were empty. I know that it seems as though I am mumbling the answer to
your question, but the simple answer is that your world is not prepared for
what is to come. Thank you.</span></p>

go from there. We have one other reader with a question today. Russ quotes <i>The
Urantia Book</i> 134:4.9: “The concept of equality never brings peace except in
the mutual recognition of some overcontrolling influence of supersovereignty.” He
asks: Wouldn’t our value of equality benefit from this recognition?</span></p>

The answer is yes to that. You must hold each individual as sovereign and equal
to yourself before equality becomes operational in all regards. One caution is
that parents must of course protect the equality of their children so that
their children are sustained and can live well into adulthood. Thank you.</span></p>

you approach your morontial existence, you and your discerning mind must leave
behind your assumptions and begin to accept the realities of your morontial
existence in <i>this</i> lifetime. The assumptions that you have made as a
mortal in this world are oftentimes detrimental to your acceptance of full
responsibility as a spiritual being who is <i>becoming</i> more and more through
each era and episode of their mortal life and their eventual morontial life. Your
leaving behind your assumptions is a process of your eventual, spiritual
maturation. You must look to your emotional connections to your assumptions to
assure yourself that you were on the right track. This is simply necessary as
your emotional energy provides the energy for your spiritual growth. If you
have negative emotions, then you are holding back your spiritual development. Assumptions
underlie those negative emotions to the extent that they will limit you in your
development and growth. </span></p>

with your Thought Adjuster and the will of God, then you are well on your way,
and you will question those beliefs that you were given by your parents, by your
ethnic group, by your culture, and by your society so that you are able to move
ahead thoughtfully, carefully, and progressively. You see, you are an evolving
