Climate change and a virus—harbingers of the future
Machiventa:
Good morning, this is
Machiventa. You, perhaps, have noticed the increase in the weather cataclysms
that are occurring around the world. You have also become aware of a potential
pandemic of the coronavirus. This One read this morning where in one day 96
people had died of the coronavirus. As yet, we do not believe this is the
source of the eventual pandemic cataclysm, but this is a forerunner. You have
also read in the last two weeks where there is great evidence of the warming of
the oceans underneath the tongues of ice in Iceland, Greenland, and Antarctica.
There is warm water flowing underneath the Greenland icecap, and there is warm
water flowing underneath some of the glaciers in Antarctica. The ocean currents
have increased in speed, and this will have an added effect as well. As you may
recall from over ten years ago, Monjoronson indicated that there would be a great
and rapid melting of icecaps and glaciers far beyond the expectations,
calculations, and estimations of scientists, and this is proving to be true.
You are also seeing the difficulty of air travel due to these storms, and you
are also seeing the uncertainness of the financial markets globally due to the
coronavirus, closing of airports, and closures of large manufacturing
facilities. These are all indications of nascent vectors coming to an eventual
nexus which will then create the full cataclysms in the cascade of events. These
are not scare tactics that we are giving you. You have already heard this
before. You are all now seeing evidence of this occurring. It is an
eventuality.
You are past the tipping point
On
another note, you are beginning to realize that there are scientists out
there—climatologists, meteorologists, glaciologists, oceanographers, and many
others—who are coming to the conclusion that the tipping point for earth’s
recovery from these cataclysms is past. You are not at the tipping point
of no return; you are well past the tipping point by at least 5 years.
As you know, the tipping point means there is no going back. In fact, the
momentum of humanity’s effect on all the systems of Urantia as a planet began
long ago. It began in full swing, approximately, after the Civil War, and the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution, with the exploration and harvesting of
the petroleum products in the earth. The point at which your world should have,
could have, reasonably could have, had an effect on the tipping
point—moving it into the future by at least 50 years—was from 1850-1900 with
full enforcement after 1900 to 1950. As you can see, there is such a forward
inertia of the detrimental effects upon the earth systems that there is no
turning back.
Social sustainability and best practices for parenting and
child rearing
We
have said this before, and we say it again, that we are in the business with
you co-creatively planning for the transformation of your world to become
materially and socially sustainable. We have spoken to you before about social
sustainability ad nauseum—at least some of you can appreciate that—to
the extent, and to the length that you are almost tired of hearing the phrase.
The connection is to the Learning Centers for Sustainable Families and
underlying that are the socially sustainable parenting and child-rearing
practices. We have further spoken to you about best practices of parenting and
child rearing. So, when you look at the transformation of a civilization that
is at the brink of its own destruction, and you go back from that deductively,
you will end up at decision making, at child rearing, parenting, and then, the best
practices of both.
In
a recent book by Gabor Maté, which is noted by some of you, he has said as much,
and it was published in January of this year (2020). In it he said that the
destruction of societies has long begun and is principally due to the evident
fact that parents do not know the best practices of parenting and child
rearing. There—it is published. It is on the table. It is there for you to look
at. It is essential, then, for any efforts that you may make as co-creative
partners with us, that we begin to harvest the wisdom of best practices from
indigenous cultures. And that may be in Russia, it may be in China, it may be
in Argentina, it may be in Australia, it may be in Thailand, it may be anywhere
else. It may be in Bolivia. It may be in Columbia.
It
is our prediction and our foreknowledge that, when you begin and have conducted
this for over six months or a year, you will find that there are commonalities
around the world’s cultures for best practices of parenting and child rearing.
And further, that these best practices begin before conception occurs and
particularly during the period of pregnancy and the first six to nine months of
the child’s first year of life. You are then setting the stage as parents to
begin consciously teaching these best practices to yourselves, and practicing
those best practices with your day old, your infant, your child, and youngsters
as they grow up. The wonderful, beneficial process is that the child learns
these best practices, and as the parents teach children the best practices,
they also learn the same things themselves.
This is a self-reinforcing process where parents will have a positive
influence on themselves from receiving this education about the best practices
that we have planned for in the Learning Centers.
These
Centers have been designed in such a way that they will become a part of every
community and we define every community as every school district. So that there
is a Learning Center in every school district and their principle intention is
to teach social and emotional education at the family level by teaching best
practices from the era of preconception through at least the eighteenth year of
a child’s life—until they leave home. Any of you who know much about American
public education will realize that any private or corporate agency that sets
itself up to teach social education and emotional education in every school
district will almost immediately set itself up for a fight with the local
school district philosophically and pragmatically at every level. We anticipate
this to occur, and it would be a wonderful way to bring the topic into the
public forum of how inadequate public education in this nation has been for the
last 100 years.
Intentions of public education and the seven core
values
What
is the intention of public education? What is the intention of education as a
social institution? The primary intention of any education setting is, first of
all, to sustain the species. That means teaching everyone how to sustain the
species. You can imagine the content of such an education. It will include
morality and ethics, social conduct in organizations, personal and social
conduct, family conduct, and so on. The second primary intention of education
is to teach individuals and groups how to sustain the
organized social existence
of communities and societies.
The
first intention will support the continued existence of your species by using
the four primary values of social and species sustainability. The principal
reason for the existence of the three secondary value-emotions
is to sustain the social interaction of individuals, from the intrapersonal
relationship within individuals to the interpersonal relationships between individuals,
in groups, in organizations, and between groups and organizations. The moral
and ethical responsibility of organizations is to sustain the organized social
structures of societies, nations, communities, and so on. Organizations have
that responsibility because individuals are unable to do so. Moral individuals within organizations can
have a highly positive influence upon the sustainability of organizations and
the policies that organizations develop—whether they are governmental,
corporate, private, public, or so on. It is important to see this whole matrix
of sustainability involving the organizational sustainability of your
communities and nations. If that is not in place, then your nations will
disintegrate. You can have highly moral and ethical individuals living in
communities, coming from families, but if they are not of influence in the
organizations for which they work, they direct, or they have volunteered, then
your societies will eventually disintegrate. It is as simple as that. It is our
hope that, by teaching individual families through these Learning Centers for
sustainable families, that individuals will take on the mantle of moral and
ethical responsibility to make informed decisions and policies within their
organizations. This completes the whole cycle within one generation, and
particularly within two generations, in which your societies can be transformed
from impossibly sustainable, and, in fact, on the cusp of disintegrating, to
becoming materially and socially sustainable and responsible partners in
earth’s community.
Necessity for coordination between nations—toward a
global economy and community
We
have several times in the past put this whole genre of materials into a sphere
of circles of interconnected pieces that become dependent upon each other
beginning within the family. This will eventually lead to coordinated and
complemental relationships between nations around the world. It will eventually
entail their coming to a realization that in order for their populations to
subsist—to sustain themselves at the species level and the society level—that
they must coordinate themselves very well with other nations. You now realize
that you are on the very beginning parts of a sustainable global economy, yet
there is so much dissonance within that community that this will not be
possible until the collapse of your global economy makes it necessary to
transform it into a confident, capable, responsible, and sustainable global
community with similar actions by individual companies and nations. This is a
process of eliminating war. This is a process of generating peace. This is a
process of engendering social stability from the family, to the local
community, to regions, states, cities, and nations. This is our goal. This is
our vision that Christ Michael has had for Urantia for over two thousand years.
He realized at the end of his reign as a mortal and his total assumption of the
seventh state of his sonship of God as a Creator Son, that this planet would
need something far more than his death on the cross. It requires the rebirth of
individuals in a new social and value structure. It requires the rebirth of
nations, whole cultures, and societies with a new set of values—with total
commitment to compliance for their own saving grace and for their benefit.
If
you have questions concerning this, you are welcome to ask them. You are also welcome to ask questions which heretofore have not been
answered. Thank you.
Relationship between genders and the theology of gender
Raymon: Last session we acknowledged the
domination of females for centuries, you know, by the males, and discussed
Daniel’s recent paper on feminism. So, recently, I’ve encountered females that
exhibit misandry and militant feminism. My question is what would be the best
approach with these types of individuals to keep the pendulum from going too
far in the other direction—to be more equal and get rid of this sense of
hatred and inequality?
MM: At the most basic level people must
understand the theology of the Creator. The origins of the Creator and the
creation is that are the basic foundations of feminism and masculinism are
understood—that these genders were created by the Creator, that they complement
each other, and they provide the experience of living for God to know from that
experience what it is like to become perfect. And, all the while, that God the
Supreme increases in the same, like manner. It is essential that religions
begin to espouse the equality of the genders by offering equal opportunity to
the positions of authority within their organizations. It is essential that
those social authorities, the social institutions in those social organizations,
take on that mantle of teaching and training their following the truth about
the creation of the genders, and that one’s dominance over the other creates an
injury to the process of God gaining experience from those individuals in
equal, gentle, and loving work with each other.
The
love between the genders must begin with empathy and compassion, and then to
generate a love for all humanity—that this equality that is spoken of is gender
wide. It is humanity wide. It is something that comes from the very heart of
each individual that adds weight to their soul. You’re talking about the
regarding and respecting equally as a part of racial and civilizational growth
and maturity and evolution. Your civilizations and democracies cannot evolve
and mature until individuals really, truly accept equality as a foundation,
beside that of life, to support the social existence of communities and
societies. Most people, most societies, accept that life is the preeminent
value of the species and of their culture and of their society. Equality is
also necessary as it is the generator of the secondary values. If there is not
equality, then there is no evidence of empathy, compassion, and love for all
humanity. You see how these are connected?
And so, your question really precedes an age when there will be equality
among genders, among societies, among ethnic groups, cultural groups,
nationalities, and racial groups. You could apply the same question to all of
those genres of relationships at the present time. And it is indicative that
you are sensitive to the fact that there is gross inequality throughout the
world.
Melchizedek complicity in snow removal efforts
Stéphane: Machiventa, how are you today?
Machiventa: I’m very well, thank you. I am
recovering from This One having shoveled a lot of snow, so I am complicit with
his recovery. Thank you for your question and your concern.
Acting to minimize cataclysms now that tipping point
has passed
Stephane: I was listening to your introductory statement
and wanted to focus on one part of it and that is, you mentioned that the
tipping point for recovery is past by at least five years. It began at some
point in the past, we could have done something about it, but we’re way past
that now. And, of course, the teachings of this forum are to instruct us on how
to reconstruct once the cataclysms have occurred, etc.; however, I wouldn’t
want to think that we have given up on making adjustments to our ways of living
so that the impact of the cataclysms is lessened. So, what is it we can do to
minimize the impact of the cataclysms now? Are there some key focus areas that
we can focus on to minimize it even though we are past the tipping point?
Machiventa: Yes, there certainly is. I will begin appositely
by stating that inventiveness now by the scientists and others who work in the
energy fields is highly important to empower the recovery as much as possible,
and that these new inventions and discoveries will help your nations and
civilization live more comfortably and more easily, and will lessen the full
duration of the cataclysm’s effect. Secondly, coming closer to this time now,
it is the conscientious use of materials. It is the conscientious dedication to
recycling, reusing, transforming, and reinventing the products. As you are well
aware, the recycling era is past in many parts of this nation and other nations
as the recipients of that trash—those recycled products—have refused to take on
any further debris—particularly from the United States.
This
is a harkening, as it is a warning, that the recycling effort now must
transform itself into harvesting those materials and transforming them into
useful products. This in turn may cause the use of energies that will cause
further damage to the environment, but this transition from a detrimental
industrial process of creating detrimental, harmful, hazardous waste will last
for several decades. It is our goal, our wish, our emphasis, and our work,
working with scientists that this transition period would be shortened
immensely. Without the effective generation of new inventions and
transformation of existing recyclable materials, this transition period would
last from thirty years to seventy-five or eighty years. For the health of the
world and its recovery from the travesties of industries of the past, it is
important that we assist you to now begin to transform those byproducts into
useful products.
When
you think in terms of a refinery, which is transforming millions of barrels of petroleum
(crude oil) into refined products, you realize there are many byproducts that are
discharged into the atmosphere. These too must be harvested and sequestered if
possible. The products themselves do generate emissions which are harmful to
the environment, people, plants, and animals. These products must also be
transformed. You will eventually see in the next 10-15 years the invention of
mobile processes which are able to use the byproducts in ways which are unknown
in the present. You know, and we know, that petrochemicals are primarily
responsible for the greatest amount of distress to your planet environmentally.
And this will be changed and transformed in the future.
Removal of inhibitors on zero-point
energy (ZPE) development
One
moment. (Pause) I am authorized to share with you that your scientists will now
be given the connecting dots to assist them with the generation of zero-point
energy. It is appropriate now to begin those connections so that during the
transformation of your world the recovery can be shortened immensely. As I have said, and we have collectively
said, that the tipping point is long past for recovering from this era. There
is no going back in the next 10 or 15 years to the point where it was in 1935
or 1950. There is no point to which you could go back in such a brief period of
time. Therefore, the strategies and the agenda for the future as we work with
your scientists is to generate processes which can help your societies recover
in the future by employing technologies that are known but are unworkable at
this time. These dots which we have used as a metaphor before will soon be
connected. It will be one of those ah-ha moments where there is tremendous
jubilation. As you know, it is one thing to discover an operational zero-point
energy process that, by the use of hydroelectric generation, can be used to generate
zero-point energy. There you have zero emissions from your hydroelectric
generation to zero-point energy. This would complete the circle of
non-polluting energy. This is our goal for future industry, household use, and
all commercial use at all levels.
Implementation of ZPE requires removal of the ego
factor
This
will require tremendous cooperation among industries, nations, and people. The
ego factor must be removed. The ego factor must be seen as highly detrimental
and poisonous to the recovery of your industries, societies, family structures,
and so on, so that you will see these products become useful. You in fact will
see totally new industries that will come into existence. You will see the
existence of independent appliances and equipment that will run solely on
zero-point energy. At the most they would be using a small hydrocarbon-based
energy system to augment the zero-point energy in, let’s say, an earth mover.
It
is important that these thoughts begin before zero-point energy becomes known
and becomes readily available. The application must jump immediately after the
discovery of zero-point energy to the manufacturing and generation of
instruments, appliances, equipment, and generation equipment that can broadcast
zero-point energy. This is not impossible to do. It, in fact, is highly
possible to do and is used on millions of planets in Nebadon and elsewhere. You
will be having the beginning of forced cooperation around the world because
those who do not work with that energy system will be deprived of it. It is not
a matter of dominance, submission, control, authority, and power. Those must be
relegated to antiquity. Those facets of ego embellishment must be gotten rid of
in your new industries. If they continue to exist, then you will see what is
happening in Russia and elsewhere—where the dominance of one personality, and
so on, is leading to the destruction of that society itself. It is important
that the generation of great egos be diminished. That it cease.
And that it begins to cease in the family structure in childhood socialization
through good parenting practices and good childrearing practices.
So,
you see, the whole tie-in of all these systems—social education, emotional
education, civilizational education, and species education is a complete cycle.
It is all related. It very much looks like what you have seen in the
illustrations of atomic nuclei with outlying orbits of electrons, but in this case,
there are only about twenty-one primary social institutions that must work
together in the future to create the nucleus of a functional, sustainable
society. Thank you for your question.
Centralized ZPE power generation and electric cars
Stéphane: Thank you Machiventa. I have just a
quick follow-up. On this transition to zero-point energy, which may take years
or decades, we see countries like Norway, where 50% of new cars are now
electric cars, so we shift the carbon emission from the tailpipe to the
smokestack at the power generation plant. Do you see this as a necessary part
of this transition?
MM: Yes, we do. We have anticipated that,
and we accept that, and support that as a development simply because the
generation of electricity through the use of hydrocarbon technologies can
isolate the generation in one area and then capture those byproducts in a way
that is useful. This too is some time off. If you just substitute smokestack
emissions for tailpipe emissions, then you are really talking about the same
thing. However, the solutions for attacking the problem can be focused and
concentrated on the hydrocarbon electrical generation site. You understand this
of course.
Sequestration of carbon and other chemicals
Stéphane: Yes, of course. Thank you. It’s easier
to capture with the economy of scale at a large facility than on a per car
basis. And regarding the sequestration part you talked about, I know that we
are mainly focusing on carbon sequestration at the moment, but I think your
comment on sequestration was more toward the capture of other chemicals that
are released in the atmosphere, is that correct?
MM: That’s correct. As you know from your
most recent advances in carbon capture technologies that carbon can be used to
make sugar, for example. And that many products that you use now are carbon
based. And so, it is a matter of how you separate the oxygen from the carbon
and use the carbon directly in the manufacture of new products, or old products
in abundance.
Stéphane: Thank you very much.
Morontial life—will we study in classrooms?
Liz: Good morning Machiventa. You indulged
my curiosity question last time about what it would be like to live in the days
of light and life, and I’m hoping you will indulge me again and answer my
curiosity question again today. Just as we knew little about living in the days
of light and life, we also know very little about our first experiences on the
mansion world. It’s very difficult for me to even conceptualize. So, I have a
few questions. Once we go through what I imagine will be an extensive
orientation session, where will we live? Do we live in dormitories? Will we eat
in cafeterias? Will we study in classrooms? If my husband and I desire to be
together to raise a family with children from their probationary nursery, when
and how does that take place?
MM: Well, dear one, I know your questions
are earnest, and they have relevance to you now. However, I will truncate my
answers to this: there are enough problems on this world to think about, and
your own personal life to think about, rather than occupying your time thinking
about what your first days on the mansion worlds will be like. Your last
question about the classroom situation is very interesting to us as, yes, you
will be in a classroom situation. It is our desire in talking about this
classroom topic to you now, that those who read these transcripts, and others
who would read them later, would anticipate that the classroom of life never
ends. That the anticipation of being in classrooms to learn how to become more
complete is part of your preparation during your mortal stay here. That
learning to be cooperative and eager to learn is part and parcel of being a
morontial being. It is how you, now in this lifetime, expand your mortal
experience to enter into and learn the very earliest stages of morontial
existence while being a mortal. Your other three questions are not discarded or
dismissed; however, we feel it would be in the best interest not to answer them
at this time.
Liz: Well, thank you. I appreciate that.
Learning Centers for Sustainable Families
Stéphane: Again, going back to your introductory
statement, and about how there will develop Learning Centers for Sustainable Families,
I’m assuming none of the currently existing human associations or institutions
can tackle this. This will have to come as a separate institution and be
integrated into current institutions. Can you comment please?
MM: Gladly and thank you for your question.
The Learning Centers will be an independent institution. They will be separate
and apart from existing educational facilities. It is not educational facilities
that we guard you against, it is the institutions themselves. They are
unsustainable, and they teach unsustainable education. There is much knowledge
and information about the un-education of American students at this time, which
is most unfortunate. There is no intention of ours to integrate our ideal
situation of the Learning Centers into existing educational systems. It is
simply the fact that they are unworkable, they are arrogant, they are
ego-centered, they are xenophobic, and they want nothing to do with anyone who
would have any interest in transforming public education into a truly useful
educational system that would support the species and the organized social existence
of democratic nations.
That
may sound rather harsh, but I mean it to be—we mean it to be. There is
such a deficit in the sincerity and humility of education in the main—whether
it is in public education, public academia, or private academia. This must be
undone. Those institutions have the possibility of transforming themselves into
powerful, highly powerful institutions of influence to redirect the
course of your total global civilization. It simply requires some individuals
to get on their knees, figuratively, and say: “We can do better than this. We
can help our species. We can help our world. We can help families and
communities do better,” and take on the seven values, and particularly the
three secondary values as being pivotal to the sustainability of your planet.
Yes,
you can anticipate through my earlier statement that there will be quite a
fight in legislatures, and so on. However, it is not in our interest now to
seek public funding for these Learning Centers at this time or in the near
future. This must be done through private funding, student funds, and the
generosity of foundations that see the benefit of funding these Learning
Centers. As you can see, we have our work cut out for us. However, in the
beginning it is essential that they be staunchly independent of public
education and public influence even though the legislatures may command such a
private institution to become part of the public education system. That would
be the death knell of education globally. Legislatures have a truly ominous
sense of self-power and empowerment within themselves as you have recently seen
through the morally derelict individuals who have participated in the charade
of democratic jurisprudence.
We
believe that there is enough sense in Americans and other democratic citizens
in other democratic nations that they will see the benefit of right thinking,
of what works and what doesn’t work—what historic challenges have been laid
aside and not addressed. And that these Learning Centers begin with the very
basics of civilization itself, and that they [democratic citizens] will
eventually, hopefully, not “cave in”, but totally accept this curriculum—these
basics of education and the vision, intention, and philosophy that we espouse
through these centers. You are seeing the very beginning cusp of such a process
in these discussions. And these discussions do not go without substance that
eventually become imminent and known to you. We always allude to these things,
and we do not wish to deceive you or to generate false hope within yourself
that this will be right around the corner, because it is not right
around the corner. It is something that is impending and important, and it will
not be successful until your societies are almost at their knees trying to survive.
You
see, the egoism of your social institutions and democratic institutions are so
deeply ingrained and embedded in the psyche of the individuals and
professionals of those organizations, that they will be totally unwilling to
change until their own personal lives are at stake. This is probably the most
formidable position any nation could have. It is our dear hope that the
influence of Nebadonia and her angelic corps would be of such an extent that
these individuals would see the error of their thinking and would gladly accept
a way to re-empower themselves as generators of good social justice throughout
the population.
Important areas of study to promote global progress
Stéphane: Machiventa, if you were to advise a
young 21 year-old Urantian who had just completed his undergraduate studies at
a major university, who was performing well, and ambitious to change the world,
what are the top three fields you would recommend in order to have the biggest
impact in our upcoming transition?
MM: One would be cultural anthropology and secondly,
its partners, social anthropology, sociology, social psychology, and
particularly the subordinate areas of study in ethics, morality, and social
justice. I answered your question with many options; however, those are the
main three fields. It is important that this young person understand the psyche
of individuals as members of the human species (Homo-sapiens), as a member of a
family, and also as a member of a society. When one has those three basic
understandings, then they can be of use to themselves and to the recovery of
their societies. And it’s important that this young individual attach themself to organizations that have these humanitarian
interests at heart, and that they are supported by humanitarian and
philanthropic organizations that understand this as well. This young individual
must be careful of being subverted by those in power and authority, and who are
enriched, and who are persuasive. Sometimes those individuals are charismatic
and persuasive, and they are who not to follow. There are also those
quiet individuals who have a quiet charisma and humble power about themselves.
These are the ones to watch.
Universality of seven core values
Jeff: I would like to ask you two questions.
One is relevant to zero-point energy, and the other one is relevant to the work
I am trying to do in Palm Springs. Regarding the validation work, are the seven
core values universal to all ascending mortals in the master universe?
MM: Yes.
Jeff: If that is so, are they not then the
essential elements of the brotherhood of man?
MM: They are first essential to the
morality and ethic that is subsequently generated through the appropriate use
of decision making using those seven values. The brotherhood of man cannot come
into existence until that morality and ethic are operationally existent.
Jeff: A follow-up question about zero-point
energy: You’ve mentioned that in the past and suggested that research was being
inhibited as the control of such science was not secure to your satisfaction
and your team’s satisfaction and that includes, I presume, everyone up to the
Supreme, about how that would be used for ill or for good. I have read, over
many years, work on cycles, and it seems there have been, over the centuries,
cyclical, public acceptance of private ownership, and public ownership that
seems to go in cycles of fifty or sixty years from private ownership of things
to public ownership of things. Is this new decision to release zero-point
energy and who would end up controlling how it would work, is this going to
break that public/private ownership cycle and start an entirely new cycle of
humanity?
MM: The first error in your questions is
that you are mixing two topics together to come out with some answer that will
be an amalgamation of confusion. This is not a good thing to do. You should
separate those two topics and come back later with reasonable questions for
both. However, we are not the determiners of who will have the power and who
will not. What we are simply saying is that the time to remove that
prohibition—that restraint—has come, and that the cataclysms are of such a
nature that anyone who strives to possess this zero-point energy and use it
negatively will have so many environmental, economic, financial, political, and
social concerns on their hands that they will have no time to think about
controlling other nations, and so on.
Jeff: Thank you, I will respect your request.
T/R process disrupted—a teaching moment
JT: I have some reader questions. (I read the
following question way too fast and disrupted Daniel’s connection to
Machiventa.)
1) A thyroid disease epidemic is upon us.
I’ve read 27 million Americans, and 200 million worldwide have thyroid
problems. The medical community understands little about the cause and remedy.
What can you tell us about the cause of and remedy for this pervasive malady?
Daniel: Just a minute. I think the TR “needle
slipped out of the groove here.” I haven’t been able to recover from your first
reading of that question. I’m having a hard time re-connecting with Machiventa.
I hope the audience perceives what has happened here as a T/R. The rapid
speech, the rapid reading, was something that went too fast for my human
cognition to integrate, and for me to act as the recipient, as a hearing
mechanism so that Machiventa could respond to that. That’s one half of the
equation. Therefore, when that goes ski-whiff, then that cuts Machiventa, or
the celestial speaker out of the equation. My need to respond rather
vehemently, was my reaction to that process as it doesn’t work well for me as a
listener, personally—whether it’s as a T/R or in public. So, that’s just the
human side of what happened here, and it’s better to set that question aside
and go onto another question and let me have a minute or two to re-connect with
Machiventa.
MM: This is Machiventa. Please proceed with
your next question.
JT:
2) What advice can you provide on how we
should approach mitigating the water pollution that will occur due to mass
deaths in the coming cataclysms, and the disposal of the large number of
corpses? Would the celestial team consider dematerializing corpses when their
numbers are overwhelming and threaten the survival of cataclysm survivors?
MM: This is almost an identical question
that was asked last year or the year before, and that has been answered.
JT: That’s all the reader questions.
Meditation process and progress—judge not!
Rick: Being inspired by the Urantia Book and
the pursuit of stillness, I started meditating 20 years ago this August. I’m
committed to it, and I do 20 minutes a morning, but I sometimes feel that my
progress has been less than stellar. I’m wondering if you might have any
helpful hints as I continue to strengthen my relationship with my Thought Adjuster.
MM: Most certainly and thank you for your
question. If you have read the Urantia Book, then you are well prepared in your
mind to have the content at hand, so to speak, with you when you meditate. The
difficulty many people have is thinking that reading the Urantia Book is
meditation. It is not. It is a wonderful reference, it is inspiring, it is
something to make your heart glad, and to put a smile on your face as you
proceed through the day. What many people have forgotten is that inspiring
messages are a means by which your mind can begin to wander. Wander in
wonderful ways. Wander to think about how this is used in your life—to think
about the possibilities of spiritual, religious, worshipful contact with your
Thought Adjuster. You do not need to think about your Thought Adjuster as
assisting you overtly, but simply see your reading as a mechanism to distract
your active, conscious mind. Allowing the other part of your mind to engage in,
subtly, opening the doorway for that contact between your Thought Adjuster, and
you to go from a mere 3% to perhaps 30%. You would come away from that period
of reverie, contemplation, thoughtful meditation and including deep personal
transformational meditation—i.e., having contact with God itself, the presence
of God within you.
The
mechanism can also be replicated through reading inspirational spiritual books
that you have enjoyed in the past, or a book that you have not read already.
You recall in your Urantia Book study groups how you would read a passage aloud
and someone would pick up the next passage, and so on, and pretty soon someone
would say: “well, let’s talk about that. Let’s have a conversation about this.
This is really deeply meaningful to me.” And so, you can do the same process by
reading the Urantia Book or any other spiritually enlightening book when your
mind wants to have a conversation with you about that. And that is the guidance
of your Thought Adjuster beginning to moderate the process of your reading,
contemplation, and meditation. And if you continue this, you will soon drop
into wordless contemplation with your Thought Adjuster in reverie, where you
are in sync with your Thought Adjuster and your Thought Adjuster with you. You
will no longer think about what you’re going to make for dinner, or what you’re
going to do once you get up from the couch, or from wherever you are reading.
You will forget about taking the next sip of your coffee, or your water, etc.
that is beside you. You will be totally in the zone that you know as the place
where all great things happen between yourself and the God presence within you.
Rick: Thank you for your answer, Machiventa.
MM: I’d further like to add that your
judgment of the quality of your meditation is none of your business. [Don’t
judge yourself.] It’s your Thought Adjuster’s business. It is not a concern
that you should have. You are simply there at the Master’s
feet, listening to their words, and having quiet conversation with the greatest
Master of your life.
NET participation a two-way street
Thought Adjuster participation during NET sessions and
readings
This
is Machiventa. Are we at that point? Perhaps we are. Our closing is this: I
have given you many wonderful benedictions in the past, and you may recall some
of those sweet ones from Rayson as well. Remember:
*
You are before us, and we are before you.
*
This is a two-way conversation.
*
Your meaningfulness is as important to us as your regard for our
meaningfulness in your life. We could not have this discussion, this dialogue,
these questions and answers, without your presence here—without your bending
out of the way to hear more fully what is being said.
*
Your ego and your conscious mind are out of the way.
*
You are connecting with us in a way which transcends your life and the
conversations you had with others.
*
Unbeknownst to you, through these sessions, and me speaking to you, you
are listening to subtle words, even subliminal messages that are being given to
you by your Thought Adjuster. While you’re carefully listening, we are able to
speak with you unconsciously to your mind in levels of which you are unaware.
*
You are truly preparing yourself for a morontial existence even while
here in this lifetime.
We
thank you for doing this. We thank you for reading these transcripts, because
you can come into the same awareness and subliminal contact with your Thought
Adjuster while you read these words without thought of criticism, adjustment,
critical thought, or even praise. That you are open and receiving of the
greatest contact you can ever have in your life, or this life and life
everlasting. For when you are doing this, you are preparing the way for fusion
with your Thought Adjuster who will be with you into the eras of your entry
into Paradise. We thank you for your time today, and best wishes through the
weather and all that comes your way. See the light, be in the glow, have joy in
your life, and see the Presence wherever you go. Amen. Thank you.
