I am Machiventa Melchizedek.<span> </span>I choose to
be here this evening because I wish to present some thoughts regarding what you
are facing as a world and in your lives.<span>
</span>We know sometimes you would wish for us to just intervene and make it
okay, to stop all evil, and coax everyone into a sudden realization of unity
and love and family.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">How would you see this playing out?<span>
</span>That those who are aggressors would suddenly lay down their weapons and
come willingly into the embrace?<span> </span>That
the deceivers would suddenly see the light of their wrongs and choose to submit
to the truth of their actions and open to the love that is available?<span> </span>That the fearful would come out from the
shadows and become bold?<span> </span>And the good,
kind, sincere people of your world would gladly step up and be the way showers
that would lead the way into a new day?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Certainly if we interjected ourselves into your world affairs, some of
these things might come to pass in some form or fashion, but the reality is
that chaos breeds chaos and calm produces more calm.<span> </span>So instead of wishing for bold actions to
impress the minds of all on your world, look for the calming attitudes, the
opportunities to engage in ways that do not divide, but bring dialogue and
understanding.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">You have heard it said that there will be wars and rumors of wars.<span> </span>While this is not an absolute requirement to
happen for peace to ensue, the ways to avoid these unfortunate outcomes are
more difficult to actualize, for it requires willingness to see differently,
communicate differently and, in some sense, to be different, to go against the
human nature that would fight, to let go of inherited tendencies to be the
aggressor when challenged.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">How would you see this world progressing if the differences are not met
and ironed out?<span> </span>Eventually these things
must be addressed, and unfortunately, all too often it is in the form of
battle, in the form of violence, verbally or physically, the attempt to
dominate and survive.<span> </span>Only after
warriors become weary of battle and loss do they generally listen to other
ideas.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">If I could speak directly to those in power who make the decisions on
whether to go to war, or to assert one’s rights over another’s, I would say:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">When will you replace the need to wage war as a means of resolving
differences, with a more enlightened effort to wage understanding, to
communicate with love and cooperation as a motivator rather than the need to
win?<span> </span>This world sees too much
selfishness.<span> </span>These are tendencies that
have developed out of proportion due to misinformation and distortion that
occurred long ago and which has been perpetuated.<span> </span>The greater question is how do you replace
the desire to get more for one’s self or one’s tribe with the desire to bring
about united efforts across borders to uplift the livelihoods and to bring
stability so that no dominance is necessary?<span>
</span>This is a pattern that can overlay your previous patterns and diminish
the self assertion in favor of how you can use your skills and qualities to
wage love, to replace lies with truth, to choose goodness over evil.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Let me make it clear that when you choose to dominate, to destroy, to lie,
to cheat, to steal, to vanquish, to win at the expense of another or others,
this is the pattern of evil, of ungodliness, of unkindness, lacking in beauty
or truth.<span> </span>One cannot destroy and be
promoting anything good related to the values of our Creator, for with the eyes
of God, destruction is replaced with transformation and communication.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We are at the precipice of conflict or change.<span> </span>As a representative of the highest source of
all things, I ask you to consider what it would be like to shift your focus
from defensiveness and aggression - attempts to dominate - to a focus on doing
what is right, not only for your own people and your own needs, but for
everyone to the extent that your needs can be met and you can allow the needs
of others to be met, as well.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I will tell you a story about a man who had great power and position
and with that power he could choose to dominate anyone, but instead he became
aware of God, of love and kindness, truth and beauty, as drivers in what would
make the higher outcomes occur.<span> </span>And so
the man chose to withdraw from aggression and dominance.<span> </span>Some saw this as a sign of cowardice or
weakness and his prestige, perhaps, took a hit in the eyes of some, but in the
eyes of our Creator and the universal oversight his esteem grew exponentially
in direct contrast to the loss of personal fame and regard.<span> </span>Looking from the spiritual view, he who would
save himself and favor himself and be powerful on earth is like a candle that is
slowly extinguishing, whereas those who would humble themselves before their
Creator and seek to spread the goodness, the beauty and the truth, would be
like the sun firing in the sky when breaking over the horizon in the morning.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">When will you realize that a more beautiful life and existence is
waiting to be achieved for your world and for its citizens?<span> </span>Listen, for we are here, we will help, know
that the days of transgressions and wars and conflict can be set aside in favor
of real dialogue in the spirit about how to manage the resources of your world
in a way that benefits the most, still rewarding those who work hard, but also
recognizing that a basic level of existence provided for all allows the
community of earth to achieve a level of spirituality it could not otherwise
envision.<span> </span>Work for the benefit of your
planet.<span> </span>It can only happen when you
choose to submit yourselves before our Creator and to, in doing so, recognize
that you become an agent of love and kindness that can shape the lives of
countless others by gaining that sense of freedom and earning the commitment
that a unified child of God has when recognizing its part in the family of God,
working together, not only for your world, but for our universe.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">You are not alone.<span> </span>The universe
is friendly.<span> </span>We are simply waiting for
you to set aside the pettiness, vindictiveness, dishonesty and cowardice, replacing
them with sincerity, kindness, love and bravery.<span> </span>We ask you to join us in this.<span> </span>You do not need to know all the answers yet,
but have a willingness to look within, to let go of all the poisons, the
hatred, the anger, resentments and fear and listen for the voice of love and
reason and goodness to come forth.<span> </span>When
this happens on a mass scale as well as your individual scale, then a new world
can arise that lives with a different kind of purpose, not to take or exploit,
but to give, to share, and to grow. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">I ask you to consider these words this evening, my friends, known and
unknown, near and far, in the smallest position or in the largest positions of
power.<span> </span>If you seek, you will find.<span> </span>If you listen, you will hear, even if it’s only
felt in the inner reaches of your soul.<span>
</span>Isn’t it time to choose a different way?</p>
