Rancor in the U.S. election
Machiventa: Good morning. For some of you, it’s
good afternoon, or good evening. This is Machiventa Melchizedek and I greet you
from our place and abode here on your planet. We are here at times, sometimes
we are afar, but, nonetheless, our presence here pervades the space where you
are, and we thank you for sharing this time with us.
You
have probably noticed the rancor that pervades the media from the political
elements of your societies. This is most unfortunate because it is evidence of
the barbarism of those in power and those who want to have power. A much
more delightful scenario is available for those who engage the next stage of
democracy. It will have many advantages compared to the traditional democracy
that you have here in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and other
democratic nations. All nations now are in the stage 2 of democracy and must
evolve soon to stage 3 in order to satisfy the yearning for
righteousness—meaning right action—in domestic affairs in every democratic nation.
This is possible. It is not impossible. It is very possible that this
can be done. There must be a means and a motivation to accept or even consider
that the possibility exists for an improved and evolved democratic process.
I
emphasize this today because of the rancor that we see and feel in your hearts
and the angst in your minds concerning the current election process in the
United States. This is something that is disquieting to us, and it is
disquieting to yourselves. Many of you see the possibility of a despot coming
into power who wants to maintain an iron grip over everything including the
minds of those who are around that person. We do not take political sides
concerning either party, every party, or any party. Our concern is for
the welfare of your world. We are trying to teach you to be planetary managers,
and this must be based on the decisions you make and everyone else makes using
the values that are common to everyone. The difficulties that arise in policy
development in government and corporations comes from using a different set of
values or values that have not been explained, values that have not been
clearly identified and defined. By using the seven values and the ethics and
morality that are subsequent to those values, you will then have a clearly
defined, identifiable set of values that will become useful to you in every
decision-making and option development possibility.
Values based decision-making
Values
are always involved in decision-making. You know that and we know that, but few
people consider that values are present, very much so present, concerning
option development. There is option development, and then, out of choice making
of those options, those same values are in play. And then when someone makes a
decision, those values underlie that decision as well. And further, those same
values underlie the action and implementation of the decision so that at four
levels you are engaged with values. If the values change by the executive who
is in charge of a corporation, committee, council, or government then the
choices, decisions, and action implementation will change. It is important that
this come to the forefront of humanity at this time simply because it is
uniform, it is regular, it is universal, it is timeless, and it is
self-evident. Further, when you consider these values, they are
irreducible—there are no further values that are more basic than these seven.
These are the ultimate basic values of humanity and they are clearly definable
and have been through the documents that we have produced with and through This
One. You may want to consider these values as you enter into your own personal
future in your employment, in your own entrepreneurial endeavors, and in your
family.
Ageless values = ageless organizations
The
next phase of this development to develop your organizational structures into
those that are compatible with each other—those that complement the
sustainability of your societies—is to have those values embedded into the
value-based decision-making processes of whatever organization you are a part
of. It then becomes a part of your own decision-making process to consider
these values. Further, there is then value-based organizational development.
When organizations are developed on a stable platform of values, then that
corporation, organization, or government body will have the opportunity to last
a long time. When those values are identified as identical to the seven values
that are innate in humans, then those organizations have every possibility of
becoming ageless as well. Making decisions then become much more refined rather
than a shoot-from-the-hip type of action that many executives demonstrate.
Humanity is these values
It
is particularly important that you begin to teach your children these values
and how they are fundamental to human existence. It is something most people
haven’t considered: that these values are not taught to anyone—they are innate.
No one has been taught to have these values—to learn how to survive, to learn
how to thrive. Each individual simply relies upon their value reaction to
situations and how to proceed in their life. If their life is threatened, then
they will protect themselves and they will survive. If they want to improve
themselves and grow into their potential, then they will thrive using those
values. These are as natural as being right-handed, left-handed, or
ambidextrous. You do not consider having had to be taught how to be
right-handed or left-handed. You simply take that on. When you are free to
choose as a child, then you will become predominately right-handed or
left-handed or capably ambidextrous. You see these values are humanity.
Humanity is these values. It is now time to express these values (particularly
the three secondary values) in your humanity in consideration of others as
being equal to you and having as much value as you and worthy and deserving of
your respect, admiration, and encouragement.
Three-segment brained beings
This
is how we feel about you. This is how we are using these values that are innate
to you and so many other sentient beings of other planets. You see, these
values—these seven values—are not unique to Homo sapiens but are the basic
ingredients of advanced civilizations and advanced beings. They are also highly
useful for the three-segmented brained species on other planets. With three
segments rather than simply two hemispheres, there is much judgment going on,
much evaluation and discernment going on in the mind of the individual. Having
a reliable series of values that are intrinsically, innately, inherently
connected, and integral to each other, you will find that thinking by these
individuals far surpasses those of your species in their brilliance, ingenuity,
and inventiveness. Their discussions of philosophy are so well rounded you
would be amazed to listen in on what they are saying and how they discuss
topics. Right now, you and we have enough difficulties with the species that
occupy this planet. My presentation of a three-partitioned brain of
other species on other planets is simply to let you understand that you are not
alone and that you are not really as brilliant as you think you are until you
become peaceful as a race across the whole planet.
This
is not meant as a derogatory statement to you, but there is a great lack of
realistic self-appraisal by many individuals whether they are elected,
appointed, or simply their own boss in their own living situation. We are here
to help you. We have been giving you great assistance and many lessons to make
your life easier if you would succumb to the embrace of Christ Michael’s
enduring love and the insightful thoughts that come to you from Nebadonia and
her magnificent crew of angels.
An era of decision-making
This
era, my friends, is one of decision-making. You have already made many of your
choices through your options and your choice selections and your decisions
concerning those. How will you enact those decisions? Will they be for the good
of all or selfishly for only those who wear the color of your political party
whether that is yellow, black, red, green, white, or blue?
Finally,
in this opening statement, who is the leader you would follow? You must think
about that, need to think about that, and make a choice. For us it is always
Christ Michael. Thank you.
Scope and limitations of current celestial activity
Walt: Thank you so much Machiventa, especially for the insight of
what happens in more advanced societies. My first question is related to NET
#98 where you informed us that the world is not yet at the breaking point that
would precipitate them being overjoyed, enthusiastic, or jubilant about the
possibility of having your team’s assistance. I agree with you. However, in
addition, though I am asserting that the world has little to no idea of what
great help is available to the individual and the collective, and this
world has even less [of an] idea how to petition or invite it. Being
enthusiastic and jubilant to receive help requires awareness of what is
available. My question to you in that vein is: what are your team’s limitations
or restrictions in bringing about this collective awareness?
MM: Figuratively I’ve been handed a long
list that is easily 10 feet long that contains all the efforts that we have
made to inform people of Urantia of our presence and of the benefits of
following the words of advice of Christ Michael and God-loving avatars who have
been on your planet for many thousands of years. Our current efforts are, first
of all, numerous. You can include those if you go back to the first of the
1800s [with] the development of much more spiritually-based metaphysical
thought and beliefs. There were numerous of those spiritual/metaphysical
leaders in the late 1800s and early 1900s. You have the entry of The Urantia
Book and its thoughts and the process that brought its publication into
existence. There were many aspects of that procedure which were not allowed to
be published as it would be premature at that time. However, those processes
within the Forum and by individuals who participated closely and at a distance
were such that their belief systems would be helpful to individuals today to
understand what was going through the minds of the people who made the choices
and how they interacted with their unseen helpers, the midwayers, to produce the
196 papers of The Urantia Book. This has been a joyous process
for us, but we have been disappointed at the lack of openness for sharing that
document with the world. Yes, it has been translated into many languages and
published through many printings around the world. We are now very thrilled
with the Internet and what is available on the Internet to access all religious
documents and the spiritual entity called The Urantia Book.
There are many celestials now available to you
The
access by populations through the Internet from all over the world into the
website that has been named BigMacSpeaks.life is an important step to bring the
spiritual metaphysics into the realm of tactile appreciation—that you can touch
it, you can see it, you can discuss these topics with spiritual beings
including your guardian angel, the God presence within you, and also [with]
those individuals who are governing bodies on this planet and on the capital of
Edentia. There are many people now who are available to you (spiritual entity
people) to consult with, and to validate what you have been taught in years
past by many religions.
The Seven Core Values
There
is a means by which you can now test your own beliefs against these seven
values and test your own humanity against the three secondary values. Empathy,
compassion, and a generalized love for humanity are important qualifiers for
your humanity. Through that, then, you can live out the four primary values of
respecting the life of each person as having equal value to yourself, and
worthy of having their innate potential developed, as you want to develop your
own, to improve your and their quality of life. These are all integrated. When
you consider the spread of contacts and the resources we have provided with you,
it’s simply a matter of finding people who want to find us. And that is our
work now.
A lack of enthusiasm
Walt: Well, thank you so much Machiventa for
that, and I do accept and agree that a tremendous amount has been done to make
or [is] being made available to humanity. It seems that it is your position
that there has been sufficient given so that there is adequate awareness. It’s
just that the amount of awareness is not equal to the amount of enthusiasm. Is
that your perception?
MM: Enthusiasm by whom, sir?
Walt: Humans. That your team has given enough
awareness to the planet of the help that’s available so that the planet (although
it has this awareness) does not have a matching level of enthusiasm to embrace
the help available.
The timing of providence
MM: You are quite correct. That is why we
speak of the breaking point not having been reached yet by humanity. Humanity
has been exposed to religious thoughts of the afterlife and of a Creator for
many centuries and millennia. Most people around the world know about God and
know that there is a God, may be a God, or the possibility of a God,
that brought the creation of the universe and this planet into existence
including their own species. There usually is not much enthusiasm for reaching
out in faith to believe that there are spiritual provisions made for this
planet during times of need. It is what people call Providence in times past
where there seems to have come into existence some black swan event—some
unusual presence that brings the coincidence of beneficial events together so
that there is a positive outcome to the mess that humans have made of a
situation. The world wars that this planet has suffered in the last 150 years
are examples of that mess. Nonetheless, we have picked up the pieces and have helped
you proceed. Now you have a global governing body, of some unmeasured
qualifications, to help make amends between parties. You now have a World Court
that is able to adjudicate crimes against humanity and so on. This is slow
progress, and now you come to this time of this interim period, this space
between contacts, this waiting for energizing of good ideas, the waiting for
the black swan event to occur where there might be some unknown event come into
existence that will change the course of your world and change the frequency of
operation of democracies and you social institutions.
I have lived among you
This
is not impossible. In fact, it is highly possible. In fact, this time now
between the old normal and the new normal offers a gap of all possibilities in
which we have great latitude to develop. The need as you say exactly, is a lack
of enthusiasm in the minds of mortals. This too will change as the crushing
burden of poverty and famine come across the world and where there are not
enough resources even to address medical needs for those who are ill and who
have contracted a lethal disease. It is difficult for me personally to present
these facts of the future to you now. I have lived among you as the Sage of
Salem and so you have awareness that I can appreciate the devastation that will
occur in the future for you personally and for your world. Even individuals of
great faith will also succumb to these difficulties. I thank you for your
question and your awareness of this lack of enthusiasm which, unfortunately, is
much like confidence as one of your sage sportscasters once said. He said: “Confidence
is contagious. It can help you when you have confidence, and it is contagious
when there is no confidence.”
Playing to the audience—a cheap trick
Walt: Thank you so much for that really
insightful response. Please be lenient with me. I do have a difficulty, and
that is: I would propose that your team could get the attention that the lack
of enthusiasm is partially or largely because the difficulty there has been in
getting the world’s attention, and that it is possible, and you can tell me why
it’s not, that your team could get the world’s attention in the concrete,
tangible way so that, in having the attention, that would create the enthusiasm
of a real, concrete possibility of help. And when I say in a concrete or
tangible way, I’m referring to, for example, like how there is a possibility
that you might interface in a way that would broadcast messages. Perhaps
something that can help the immediate need, the pressing global need or deal
with a current, urgent mystery. And if the answer was discovered from your team
as the source, it would get the attention of the world like never before.
MM: We have a rule of thumb here. We do not
play to the audience.
Walt: I see. I understand.
Urantia is a school for spiritual growth and
development
MM: Now, for the balance of your question.
Why do we not play to the audience? To put it in very blunt terms: it’s a cheap
trick. Secondly, that, if we’re not going to go for a cheap trick to get
people’s attention and their temporary enthusiasm, why do we pursue such a
difficult route? And the reason is that this is a school. Planet earth is a
school for spiritual growth and development beginning with hope, faith, belief,
trust, and then knowing—knowing that you’re cared for. The attention span of
mortals is miniscule, so brief that the cheap tricks to gain people’s attention
would be soon erased and like the Roman crowds who wanted more death and gore
in the arenas, they would want more, and more, and more. So, it is a cheap
trick because the real rewards of our presence here and the presence of Christ
Michael and of being spirit-led in leading lives to help teach people how to
lead spirit-led lives is not easy, and it is almost always learned from
childhood which is reinforced through personal unfoldment in their lives as
they follow the breadcrumbs, so to speak, out of the caves of ignorance and
darkness into the light, knowing that their partner in life is Christ Michael
and their God presence within them—their Thought Adjuster. Those who do not
learn in childhood and follow that developmental phase must learn through their
lives in a difficult way. Of course, many in contemporary times do not learn at
all, but simply will succumb without ever having trusted and knowing the God
presence within them. For us that is an immense tragedy. Thirdly, this is a
co-creative effort. You might think that, as your suggestions offer, it is a
co-creative way of getting people’s attention. Yes, it is the human sort of way
of doing that, and we too must lead you, Walt, into your greatness.
Thank you.
Walt: Wow, Machiventa. I feel in that a full
sense of clarity. And I thank you so much for forbearing with me and taking the
time to provide this clarity. I’m grateful.
MM: It’s all part of our instructions.
Thank you.
Predictions by celestials and predestination
Rick: Good morning. When talking to Abraham,
you, Machiventa Melchizedek, predicted a future when you said the Hebrews would
be enslaved by Egypt. After their enslavement, Abraham’s offspring would then
occupy Canaan and be as numerous as the stars in the sky. My question is: is
this ability to predict the distant future proof of 1.) predestination or
perhaps 2.) are the highest orders of celestials, such as Melchizedeks, able to
ascertain distant future probabilities to within a fraction of a percent?
MM:
And your first question
again? And then I’ll ask you for your second question.
Rick: Is this ability to predict the distant
future proof of predestination?
MM: Thank you. Briefly, yes. It is evidence
of predestination, however as you have been taught before by myself
and others, this does not accrue to individuals or a nation of individuals
being foreordained to follow a path of predestination. There is
always the option to follow our lead or not. Predestination is much like
weather forecasting. We can predict what can occur in the future on a great
scale simply by our own innate abilities as Melchizedeks and with the
assistance with others. There are others, who you would call actuarial
individuals, who can quite accurately predict the future within a very few
percentiles (percentages) very accurately. On regular (non-decimal) planets
this accuracy is almost 100 percent, and fallacy, or error, is almost zero. On
a decimal planet as Urantia, error-possibility increases to about a 10 percent
probability by these celestial actuaries. And on a planet, such as earth,
Urantia, that has been in great turmoil—rebellion—and with the indoctrination
genetically of your species with such hyper-individuation, there is even less
accuracy and predictability. Also, you must consider the longitude of
prediction; whether it is a week, a year, a decade, a century, five centuries,
or a thousand years. Even myself and other Melchizedeks
can predict grand changes in the structure and processes and development of
planets when we take into consideration what will occur in a thousand years.
And those were the predictions that were made about the Hebrew people. Now your
next question please.
Predictions by celestials on decimal and isolated
worlds
Rick: OK. With this in mind that, at the time
that you shared your future predictions with Abraham, I believe these three
predictions were to happen five hundred years in the future. With that in mind,
are the highest orders of celestials, such as Melchizedeks, able to ascertain
distant future probabilities to within a fraction of a percent?
MM: As I have discussed, yes, we can on
normal planets—ninety per cent of planets. However, on an extreme decimal
planet as Urantia, no. The capability of predicting within a couple of
percentiles is very difficult particularly in the realm of 500-1000 or 2000
years. However, we have much greater capability of predicting what will occur
in this coming election for instance. And what will happen in your nation after
that election, but we will not discuss that now.
Rick: So, just to finish off this series of
questions, would you say on a planet like Urantia that your ability to
ascertain future probabilities is within 90 percent correct?
MM: Dear friend, let’s not beat this horse
to death, OK? You have taken this far enough and to question our abilities in
human terms is unfair for you and it’s unfair for us. It does not project the
capability of how much we love you, but you are more interested in the accuracy
of our predictions. Thank you.
Rick: Thank you.
Asking questions through a T/R
John: Hi Machiventa, this is John from
northern California. I’m honored to be in your presence and to be able to ask
you questions that I wonder about sometimes. In listening to this discussion
this morning, I go back, and I think about our text, and it talks about racial
development on the planet and concern at the time that The Urantia
Book was being written about the degeneracy of human beings and the lack of
spiritual interest on their part. And I wonder, in seeing the lack of
enthusiasm for people of this Urantia revelation and the subsequent Teaching
Mission and Correcting Time program, from a planetary management point of view,
how do you view degeneracy in human beings in general and on this planet as
something of an obstacle to work with in trying to interest people in their own
relationship with their Thought Adjusters and in a more spiritual orientation
to their lives. And how big of a problem [is it], if you see it as a problem,
and how do we work with that and overcome that to interest people in this process?
Thank you.
MM: John, and to others who ask questions,
please have your questions in mind so that you can ask them one after the other
rather than together in one global statement. It is difficult for the feeble
mind of This One to encompass those in a means which I can access easily. The
confusion in the mind of This One between elements in your questions causes a
disruption to the open flow of myself to the database in his mind. It is much
like stirring…. Let me give you a humble metaphor. Some people like to eat
their food on a plate one food at a time and always keeping their vegetables
separate from the meat and from the salad and so on. Whereas other people like
to mix them together and enjoy the ambiance of those flavors mixed together.
So, when you ask numerous questions in one open statement such as you have
done, it is difficult for me to sort the peas from the carrots in the mind of
This One. That may seem oversimplified to you, and yes it is, but nonetheless,
if you examine the database in the mind of a person, I have the capability,
capacity, and ability when the individual—the T/R person—is settled and at
peace to grasp and retrieve those bits and pieces that I can use to answer
those questions. It is when there is a series of questions, then there seems to
me to be a maelstrom of activity in the brain and mind activity of the T/R
whether it is This One or others. It is best to ask your questions in a
deliberate, developmental process which aids listeners as well to understand
what is going on. This is not meant as a chastisement to you John, certainly
not for we know that you are wholeheartedly dedicated, it is simply that it is
part of being uneducated in the procedures of effective T/Ring, listening by
the T/R and by the celestial being. Now sir, your first question. Please ask
again.
We deal with individuals
John:
Does the lack of
enthusiasm on this planet represent a lack of capability in the humans living
here to even make an enthusiastic response to these revelations?
MM: No, it does not. We deal with
individuals. We deal as do angels. When you can appreciate the collective
spiritual work of the entities around an individual, you realize that there are
numerous beings involved in bringing clarity to the individual. It is from the
individual that you are making speculative thoughts about the larger group of
people. When people have come to similar thoughts, then you say this is a
trend. And you would be right of course. But it is the individual who makes the
difference in all our dealings with your planet. If we cannot lead one person
forward into hope, belief, and trust, then we are unable to do so with the
whole. We recognize that many people are totally put off by religion, put off
by spirituality, put off by the thought that there are non-empirical beings
around them. So, we leave them alone out of respect, though the Thought
Adjuster is always there encouraging the individual to believe. Now, your next
question please.
Soul growth and God the Supreme
John: The
next question I had has to do with the development of my own soul and how
experience here seems to be the way that soul grows and develops. I was
thinking about God the Supreme and wondering if the experience of the evolution
of Supremacy is akin to a soul for God.
MM: We would refer you back to The Urantia
Book which explains these concepts very clearly. If you are part of a
reading group, then I would suggest that you use this question as a lesson for
inquiry and enlightenment when you return to your group.
John: Thank you very much Machiventa. I
appreciate your time and your attention. Thank you.
MM: You are most welcome.
Getting the Word out through social media interactions
Craig:
I have been sort of
engaging people in comments after watching YouTube videos on topics such as the
seven values and the need to extend our democracy. Does engaging people in
comments under YouTube videos, is that a good forum for trying to introduce
concepts like the seven values and the need to improve democracy?
MM: Yes, most certainly. It is a wonderful
venue because you never know who will be watching or listening to the
responses—either now, immediately, or ten years from now. And yes, you are the
angels’ advocate so to speak where you are raising questions and topics
concerning something that you have heard or engaged yourself with other people,
and the curious mind then becomes a more open mind. An open mind is
approachable. Those who have made up their opinions and their biases and
judgments already are closed. So, this is a means by which your work can be
augmented by the celestial teachers, angels, and Thought Adjuster[s].
Craig: OK. Thank you. I also occasionally
mention The Urantia Book saying: Well, this is what the video
says, and here’s another aspect that The Urantia Book indicates
such and such. Is that a good help for getting the Urantia Book known?
MM: Yes. My answer is hesitant because it’s
qualified. It is important that the person you are addressing, or [the] many
people, are asked for the latitude of their openness to an esoteric document.
Some people have no appreciation for documents other than the Bible, the Koran,
or the Course in Miracles for example. You may couch your recommendation or
your revelation in terms which lead to openness on the part of the individual.
Craig: OK. Thank you. I do try to do that.
Thanks.
Curriculum for getting in touch with spirit
Walt: The first question: In NET #97
Machiventa, you informed us that the intention for all God-centered religions
must be to teach followers to become in touch and in tune with the God presence
within them—how to have that relationship. My question is: What would you
promote as topics and practices to learn and teach—like a curriculum—to
best support this intention. Perhaps we can begin to learn and practice in
advance of such an official religion forming.
MM: This too is old material and has
already been invented and written. You may ask the individuals at the Urantia
Foundation, the Fellowship, and others where these materials can be found and
how to present them. This is a question that has been asked and answered
numerous times, but we thank you for your sincerity.
Celestial perspective on popular spirituality
Walt: Thank you. And the next question is:
Given that, at this point in time on our planet, you have a real resurgence of
spiritual interests in the large followings of the likes of people such as Eckhart
Tolle, Gina Lake, The Collective, entity Abraham, Esther Hicks, and Jaggi
Vasudev (known as Sadhguru) who have even been given international platforms
and speaking opportunities in major Fortune 500 companies and Ivy
League institutions, I would say that there is certainly a large and growing
interest into metaphysical and spiritual matters. And I’m wondering what is your
perspective on this development? Is your perspective that it is something that is
still vastly inadequate? Is it something that you see as having made progress,
[or has] a lot of potential? What is you take on this development at this
point?
MM:
This development is
progressing apace to the initiation of these concepts to individuals who are
open to them and who have expanded those concepts into written materials and
into organizations and into the people who are followers of those thoughts,
philosophies, and concepts. This is part of the program in answer to an earlier
question about making the presence known. And this is going as well as can be
expected or anticipated on Urantia as it exists at this time. We are fortunate
for those individuals who have taken up the torch to lead others forward and to
follow the light. These will be the reserves, these will be the audience to the
new concepts of a transformed society, whether that society is with or without
a God centeredness. It is important that advanced thinking be done for
societies, so they become peaceful and receptive to new ideas. There has
been the blockage of new ideas by traditional thinkers—those who are
traditionalist, those who are crystalized in their beliefs and want others to
maintain those traditional beliefs as well. It is within the cadre of the
leaders of these groups that the new world will be revealed with a new era.
Those are now in the process of being unfolded. It is simply being open, as was
said earlier, and receptive to new ideas. Even those who would like to see
major changes in your politics, economies, and so on are, nonetheless, very
negative. They said: How can this occur? How can this wonderful black swan
event occur at a time like this? And even the mention of Providence—the word Providence
itself—brings skepticism to people who would truly like to see a better world
about them.
Black swan events and providence
So
you see, even the benevolence of circumstances of events that come into
existence is absent from the thinking of even intelligent people who know
history very well, and were they to really be even a bit open-minded to Providence,
they would see many, many incidents throughout history where providence was at
work. These are the black swan events that are needed to correct the course of
civilization in the right direction. Your world now is pregnant—literally
pregnant—with billions of people who need and want a change of ideology,
philosophy, and conceptualization of what can become. We Melchizedeks are in
the forefront of striving to inform people about those. There is still yet, due
to political insistence, a tremendous resistance to bring new ideas forward
because humans are weak and have difficulty standing on their own preaching on
the street corner, the truth that the king has no clothes as we discussed last
time. It is obvious to many people that there is great good that is needed to
come about, and that we know that it is already here. It simply needs to
be recognized, embraced, and supported. Our chore is to try to civilize
your planet, let alone bring your world into spiritual awareness.
Understanding the superpersonal
Walt: Wow, the insights and perspectives on
this are just music to my ears. Thank you so much. My other separate question:
I’m hoping you can give me some help with understanding the superpersonal. I
know at the time the Urantia Book was published they said that humans
could not altogether understand this, but I’m hoping that some modern advances
in society would somehow give the opportunity for some faint grasp of what
superpersonal is. Can you help with that please?
MM: I can entice you, so to speak. We are approaching
several individuals in the psychiatric/psychosocial/therapeutic venues of
thought to grasp the superpersonal. It is important that this concept be
developed just as the superconscious mind be accepted. Many people are aware
that there is a superconscious aspect to consciousness and to the consciousness
of an individual but have not had the insight or those “ah-ha” moments to
congeal those thoughts and ideas into something that is readable and
understandable by others. These two concepts must be something that the highly
intelligent people are able to grasp and to put into forms that can be
understood by others. We, on the other hand, know that there are outliers among
those groups of intelligent people who are not professionals who do
grasp these concepts and who have the capability to write them into conceptual
treatises so others can understand them. The evolution of thought, evolution of
concepts and philosophy concerning the mental processes that border on the
morontial are important for your world to come into awareness. It is best when
these are seen and written about by those who have a generalized public
audience.
Model societies
Walt: Thank you so much for that. My final
question is: Are there any societies on Urantia, even if small, remote, or
unknown, that are close, or if not close would you say is closest, to a society
that should be modeled—especially when it comes to family values and public
education. [Are there] any societies at all on Urantia that come close to
something that we should pay attention to and try and model for our societies
at large?
MM: Yes, there are, and I know your next
question is going to be “well, what are they?” I have proactively anticipated
your question. And the answer to your question is that those comparative
studies have been done and they are in your libraries and can be found.
Walt: Thank you so much Machiventa. I am so
grateful. Thank you.
JT: That’s all the questions we have for
today. Do you have a closing?
Evolution of this group and readership
MM: This is Machiventa Melchizedek your
planetary manager. I paused for a few moments to reflect upon this session and
many sessions of the past. We are in deep appreciation for the evolution of the
group processes, the group dynamics, and the development of social maturity
among the people who are listening today [and] who read these papers. It may
not be in your own personal awareness that your group has matured, but it has
provided a mighty example of the evolution of a group into mature spiritual
awareness and consciousness. The openness to consider that the Thought Adjuster
may be guiding your questions as you develop them for answering in this venue.
You have come along very far. We consider this group one of our most advanced
on the planet. Yes, there are shortages of questions, sometimes the questions
are very long, sometimes they are very brief but powerful.
Remain curious.
We
have only one request: that you remain curious. And curiosity leads to
listening, awareness, and observing those things around you and about you. We
do look forward to those individuals who may appreciate the great arc of
humanity’s evolution and development from barbarism and from tribalism into
what you call civilization and the current time—that someone would appreciate
this great arc and develop the insights that we have thrown in front of them to
develop for others to read and to listen to.
Become leaders.
The
best dynamic that can occur within groups such as these is that you become
leaders, that you become effective and dynamic T/Rs, that you become true to
the wisdom that you hear in your mind and that you let this flow through you
without resistance or thought, and that it becomes part of the ethos and the
consciousness of the group and the larger dimensions of the planet. You have
much to contribute—each of you. Those of you who are listening in on this call
today and those who are reading these sessions now and in years to come, will
come into the awareness of all of this. And then you will have a much larger
perspective of the arc of this small group over the last 19 years. We thank you
for your presence here today.
Look into the heavens
I
ask that you forgive my abruptness on occasion, my directness to you. It is not
to you personally, but it is to broaden the thinking of the group to consider
other possibilities. Yes, you have been taught to bear down on, to drill down
on, as you say, on a subject into the great minutia below it. We ask you,
however, to rise above that and to look into the heavens and consider the
perspective of yourself as one among many who God loves individually,
personally, and intimately. Good day.
All: Thank you Machiventa and thank you
Daniel.
