A false sense of security.
Machiventa: Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek and I am pleased to be here with you. Today marks a new chapter in the saga of Urantia—of its becoming a part of the family of inhabited planets and in Nebadon. Your consciousness is vital to what this planet becomes. Your presence is an indication of your work—of what you’re doing, your intention, and why you’re here. We hear you. We understand your situation. In this, my opening statement, we have a sense of the overall situation of citizens on Urantia—the consciousness of the human species. Those of you who live in the United States are not typical of the remainder of the population on this planet. There is a certain heightened degree of self-importance. The United States is a young nation, and it is populated by millions upon millions of young people. And the vast majority of those young people have not had the experience of having their lives—their very physical lives—challenged by anything around them. Many people come from privileged situations. In the United States even the middle class is privileged compared to the remainder of the world of similar ages.
This gives these individuals, both the older generations and the newer generations, a false sense of security—a false sense of assurance that they will live tomorrow, the next day, and several years from now, and perhaps fulfill their lifetime. This is an erroneous perception that will in the end cause many people to die unnecessarily. Nevertheless, there will be many that lose their lives during this pandemic. If you could really see the full breadth of capability of this virus, you would realize it could go on for a good deal of time. We have spoken about the virus behaving much as the swirls of a rosette. It will come here, and go there, and leave one area and pop up in another area. It is much like a swarm of locusts that are harvesting the most vulnerable morsels available to it. However, this virus is not an intelligent virus, it simply operates by how it can best succeed, live, and perpetuate itself into its future generations. In that regard it is mindless, yet it is rather ironic, isn’t it, that humans are intelligent, have a mind, have a way of reasoning, and logically deduce that if they continue to congregate in large groups of people without masks and without social distancing, that they will eventually succumb to the ravages of this virus.
The lessons of this pandemic are many.
If you also look at the long arc of your civilization and of your populations, you realize that across the world there is still the thought that we can beat this, we are better than this, we can overcome the ravages of this virus. We simply need to get an answer quickly, but quickly is not an option in this case. The lessons this pandemic will present are many, and they are in many ways personal to each individual, and particularly, pointedly so, towards the collective of all humanity. Socially, social psychologically, and culturally the world population has not yet come to its existential crisis. You have read many stories and even seen those on the news where miners have been trapped in the earth in their mines for many days and sometimes many weeks. This is most unfortunate as it is a soul-wrenching situation for them. Many of those individuals who have been buried in the ground alive eventually come to the surface and those who don’t have died or succumbed to the gasses that are there. Many people, particularly in this nation and other arrogant nations, have had the opinion that they are above the laws of chance and opportunity for pathogens to remove them from the earth as living beings and to end their careers and their lives.
Humility and arrogance.
As we have told you before, we of the Correcting Time are very patient. There is a time when people will come forward and say “Help me, help me. I do not believe in God, but God, please help me.” And so those individuals have yet to come to the forefront of your nation. They are a very small minority of your populations. And when we say “your nations” we mean the United States, the UK, Latin American countries, and so on. It is not that humility is required to combat this virus, but humility is involved in taking a thoroughly defensive position concerning the virus, and, in fact, humility is needed to provide and develop the serums and the antigens to this pathogen. Arrogance has never been a value, trait, or characteristic of successful leaders. Arrogance in such a way also does not serve whole nations in the same manner. It requires a thorough appreciation of one’s life among many, not the sole position of “I am one, and I am the most important one here so everybody else help me live.” This is very difficult for people who have strong egos—who have a strong sense of self-worth above the worth of others. However, as you know, Christ Michael is compassionate, we are compassionate, we are merciful as Christ Michael is merciful. He has provided options to this situation for those who are forward thinking individuals. There are those who are forward thinking, do appreciate the circumstances of your world population, your cultures, and your political processes whether they are totalitarian or democratic. This is a time of huge change. This is a time when the ethos of cultures changes. This is a time of awakening for those people who think that there must be something better than this, and we assure you that there is. What we advise and suggest to you who are open-minded is to invite this new spirit of the future—this new era—to fill you and surround you with its power and its direction and guidance. Each of you has a part to play in what becomes of your civilization.
Request assistance.
This pandemic has every possibility that it may also become the second pandemic which we have spoken about before. We have no opinions about that, we simply do Christ Michael’s work as best we can. We know that humans suffer. We know that people’s lives are lost as they are lost even now. When you consider the impoverishment of millions of people in large cities around the world, you realize that suffering is an ongoing part of humanity. We are of assistance to those individuals particularly who are enlightened to request assistance. Those individuals who we have described as those bright lights in a dark field behind them. That you stand out and that, if you want to become known to us, then make your prayers specific to Christ Michael, Nebadonia, and to your Thought Adjuster so that you can become a powerful part in Christ Michael’s plans for this planet. You can be assured that Christ Michael’s plans will eventually be successful. They sometimes take time to unfold. This period of time does not require that individuals go down on their knees and pray and beseech God to protect them. No, this is not necessary. What you must seek to do is to become one with your Thought Adjuster—One with the best talents and skills of Christ Michael as Jesus.
Feeling the reality of your mortality.
To sum this up is to say that your civilization, national populations, and societies, have not come to that existential place where they face the reality of their mortality and the possibility of crossing over into the afterlife in this very day. When people have that awareness of that existential situation, that changes the whole scheme or plans of their life and how they conduct themselves. We know who you are, and we encourage you to be one with the Almighty. You have the potential and possibility of becoming that even during your mortal lifetime.
Daniel: This is Daniel. I would like to let the audience know what is happening here. It is that we have new members and you have your own consciousness and you have your personal thoughts about the pandemic and of your relationship with the divine. With the addition of any new people, we have, I sense, a new weight of consciousness among you that does affect the spiritual, energetic environment. I apologize for faltering during this opening piece by Machiventa, however I thought you might want to know what is happening in real time concerning the situation.
Machiventa. I am open for questions if you have some.
Liz: Good morning Machiventa, this is Liz. It’s a beautiful day on Urantia and I’ve been inordinately excited about being with you today, and I’m not exactly sure why that is. Maybe because of your opening statement regarding the status of our planet. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but I think it’s a good thing.
Uteah on getting to Light and Life.
So, I read something this week from the 11:11 Progress Group teacher Uteah. He said that Light and Life is a state of consciousness. So, after meditating on that my question is: Am I to infer, then, that if I so choose and if I can get my mind right, that I could now be living in the days of light and life?
Machiventa. First, I advise you to address your question to Uteah, and second, yes, you can change your life immensely by changing your consciousness.
Liz: Thank you for that. I understand what you are saying. Is this how Light and Life comes about for a planet: that, one by one, we achieve this state and then, so to speak, infect our brothers and sisters with this benign virus of love? Is that how Light and Life comes about for a planet?
Machiventa. Yes, it does, in part. You must remember that this does not come about by the simultaneous achievement of a higher stage of consciousness on the part of people on the planet, but by the gradual increase of consciousness among all people. There is the possibility that even on a planet [in the era of the Days of Light and Life] where individuals who are still resistant to working in concert with Christ Michael and their Thought Adjuster still remain a possibility, but you are definitely on the right track.
Quivering on the Brink.
Liz: Ok. That’s all very interesting. Can you elaborate a little bit on what your opening statement means for our planet to be received into a new aspect of the, I don’t know, federation of planets of Nebadon?
Machiventa. Yes. If you ever wanted to take the phrase “quivering on the brink” to heart, then your planet is now quivering on the brink, and that there are many individuals around the world who are literally quivering in their physical being as they are afraid of death, they are afraid of living, and they are afraid for their family, for their brothers and sisters, and for their neighbors. This is a time of great questioning, and it is our hope that there is a great questioning of doubt, that individuals would doubt that their self-assurance is enough to see them through these difficulties. When there is uncertainty, then there is vulnerability. And when people are vulnerable, then they are open to suggestion and to new avenues where they can help themselves. Thank you.
Liz: Thank you. That’s all I have for today.
Anonymous: Machiventa, I have a progress report and a question. The progress report I have is on the solution you provided in NET #91 on healing a wounded relative. I have experienced an understanding and resonance with the answer you provided beyond words. It’s as if I merged with it, and the impact on the individual is remarkable coupled with a providence that created circumstances allowing me to practice your solution. The amazing thing is that it’s powerful in its effect on the target person, but also on me. It deeply soothed me as well. And finally, the epiphany for me is that this approach is adaptable to other relationships, perhaps all. And I just wanted to say thank you so much.
Machiventa. You’re most welcome. And do not forget that it is also helpful for the recipient to be aware that they are being prayed for, and that they are on the receiving end of good energies. Thank you.
What is God trying to teach me?
Anonymous: Awesome. Thank you Machiventa. And in that vein, my question is: I have an evangelical pastor friend who has been going through a personal crisis for about the last five years, and he is begging for an answer on what lesson God is trying to teach him. I don’t know what to tell him or how to help him, given his paradigm of spiritual understanding, and he is too vested in traditional Christianity for me to present expanded concepts like in the Urantia Book. I wish your advice on how I can help—what approach I should take.
Machiventa. The approach for this individual, whether they are steeped in traditional religions or not, is that the question is really for themselves. It’s not about what God is trying to tell him, it’s rather what he has brought into his life. The question then becomes: what has occurred in your life that would bring about this difficulty, this problem, this crisis? And the truth is, he really knows what the problem is. He has not come to the awareness that he is the cause of the problem. The problem is very much the failure to raise his consciousness to that of Christ Michael as Jesus to understand the lesson involved. And that is the question he should ask: “If this is for me, what is the lesson I am to learn?” And so, it is a matter of rephrasing the problem as something that becomes very personal. His situation is one which is duplicated millions of times by individuals every day. You will be able to help him by asking these questions or proposing these questions that he could ask himself. And of course, as always, if he were inclined to, we would suggest that he go into his spiritual closet, so to speak, and come into stillness and ask the God presence within him to assist him to receive the revelation of what he needs to grow through. And this is truly the situation: of growing through the immaturity on his part.
Anonymous: Thank you so much Machiventa.
On Reiki.
JT: I have a listener who is on the call, but for whom English is a second language, and he asks: As it is known, there are many alternative therapies that use energy in the process of holistic healing and among them is Reiki. Is Reiki and the use of its symbols a suitable practice for holistic healing, and does it bring benefits to those involved?
Machiventa. The short answer is yes, but that short answer is qualified in the following: It is necessary for the practitioner (the Reiki practitioner) and for the recipient to be aware that this involves a repatterning of erroneous or non-functioning energies within the individual. There is a pattern of wholeness for humans that is typical to all, yet each individual has their own “signature” of energies that are specific to them. It is important that the individuals be open to receiving this repatterned energy and be willing to relinquish the patterning that is detrimental and deleterious to the individual’s health. The aspect of Reiki is that it is specific, but it is also general. This may seem like fuzzy thinking, but it is specific to the individual and general to all energy. It is applicable to, let’s say, a household or even to the house itself that the repatterning of energy in one’s domicile must be aligned with the healing practice of the individual that is needed and wanted. Thank you.
Willing others toward the Divine.
Bea: Hi there everyone. Hi Machiventa. I have a question sort of along the lines as what Liz brought up, and it’s also a personal question. I am wondering if by using our will and intention, and if we ask for the assistance of our Thought Adjuster or the Divine, is it possible to will your brothers and sisters, despite the fact they have free will, into awakening to the Divine—the Presence of God within them?
Machiventa. It is possible, but there are definite reservations concerning that possibility. One is that the individual must, in some aspect within themselves, be open to receive such a suggestion. Second, it is not advisable for mortals to practice this—willing other people’s openness. It is hazardous at best. Rather, we suggest that you visualize this individual as being surrounded by a white, golden light that surrounds the individual and enters them to the degree that they are open to receive it. Free will, as you know, is paramount throughout the whole universe, and that individual’s self-will is respected by all beings. It is important that this allowance be felt, known, and respected by all individuals. This willing to practice is one that we do not advise as there are so many subtle energies and thoughts within many individuals that they are unaware of. It is most efficacious by an individual who is themself very pure and one with God and wants to do God’s will in their life.
Bea: Thank you. That’s very helpful.
Status of Spirit of Truth.
[Unidentified]: Thank you Machiventa, it’s a pleasure to be in your company. Can I ask two questions? One is [about] the state of Michael’s Spirit of Truth. Is this a period of time where His Presence—His Spirit of Truth is up-stepped so that we as individuals can be encircuited?
Machiventa. Thank you for your statement. I will accept that as a statement and respond accordingly. One is that the Spirit of Truth is complete, and there have been no known plans to us of it being up-stepped. It is complete as it is. It is a figure, an essence, a Presence, a Spirit that surrounds your planet. Its presence is everywhere that truth is desired. You can use it to the extent that you are open to truth, the greatest truths that exist, and the great Truths that are potential to be received by you. It is very important for you to be of the utmost sincerity when you approach the Spirit of Truth and ask for its assistance. It is not a “will-o’-the-wisp” type of spiritual being. It is real, it is authentic, it is genuine, and it presents the truth where it can be received. It is incredibly personal when you have the courage to present yourself to the Spirit of Truth in that manner. Your willingness to be one with the Truth allows you then [to] experience the beauty in the truth and goodness that exists surrounding the Truth. You are incomplete as you are, yet by your intentions for engaging the truth you can also appreciate the beauty and goodness that remains to be achieved as well.
Curiosity about reserve Corps of Destiny.
[Unidentified]: Thank you. Also, I have a curiosity about the current uses by the Correcting Time team for the reserve corps of destiny. The Urantia Book speaks about its status at the time of its publication, but I’m interested to know whether or not the leaders who have spoken up or affected the current pandemic crisis in the world, are they unconscious members of the reserve corps of destiny as would be used to up-step the spirituality of the planet?
Machiventa. First of all, your question is too broad to be specific to assist you with an answer. And there are so many facets of your question that are off limits for us to answer. I would guide you to be whole with yourself and with your intentions to be one with the Corps of Finality in Paradise in the eventually of your ascended life. I do not mean to sidestep your question. I understand your sincerity and feel the depth of what you are striving to say and to ask about; however, I think it would be in the best interest of yourself and the audience not to proceed.
[Unidentified]: Thank you.
More on race and the Urantia Book.
JT: We have a reader question. The reader asks: In the section on the limitations of revelation in paper 101 of the Urantia Book, a Melchizedek informs us that “We full well know that, while the historic facts and religious truths of this series of revelatory presentations will stand on the records of the ages to come, within a few short years many of our statements regarding the physical sciences will stand in need of revision in consequence of additional scientific developments and new discoveries.” In view of the last session’s disclosure of the shortcomings of the Urantia Book regarding race, are the distortions due in part to the scientific perspectives of eugenics prevailing at the time or to something more insidious?
Machiventa. Myself and my team have discussed this at length from our last session with you. It is our sense that this topic is too volatile to human consciousness at this time considering the events that have transpired in the United States and elsewhere. You only need to know that God loves everyone equally, and that, to the God-knowing individual, there are no races, simply mortals who are in union with God. The work of all people and all Spirit is to achieve oneness. Divisions, thoughts of division, and causes of division are not helpful. We appreciate your question and look forward to some deeper thought concerning this. Thank you.
Anonymous: Machiventa, [My question is] related to how we compare with advanced societies in NET #93. What destructive social practices do we engage in with ignorance of the deleterious impact. I’m referring to practices that are not obvious to us as harmful.
Machiventa. If I understand your question correctly, this has to do with what occurs in a person’s mind as they strive to achieve oneness with others. Opinions, attitudes, biases and prejudices, for example, are not helpful. It is not useful to have scientific information that counters the oneness of all people.
Anonymous: Thank you Machiventa, I understand. That helps, thank you.
Machiventa. You’re welcome.
Complacency will not work.
Craig: Good morning Machiventa. My question is concerning your opening statement that people are going to die unnecessarily because of their complacent attitude that everything’s going to be fine and taken care of. Perhaps the government will take care of everything. We’ve seen decisions that seem to be just considering the pandemic and not considering other outworkings of these decisions like decisions to curtail food production in order to help protect the workers. It looks like in the broad picture that this is going to cause food shortages in the coming months and years. Is that one of the things that this complacent, maybe naïve, attitude that everything will always be fine is going to be causing?
Machiventa. Yes, you are very correct. As we see the near future, the complacency the “everything’s going to turn out fine” attitude will work against the good working order of your planet and of your commerce. The reality of this pandemic during this very, very short period of time since the first of the year 2020 is that the outworking of it will take many, many years and perhaps 15 years for it to be worked through. In the meantime, there will be great aggravation among populations of the world. You can get a glimpse of this through food shortages that already exist in populations that have very poor medical facilities and protections. The existential situation I was speaking of has not reared its head yet to hundreds of millions of people, but it will. It will eventually come to the point where people of privilege will see themselves also as vulnerable.
We are not predicting a dystopian future for the world, but there will be areas that are totally dysfunctional and where great loss of life has occurred and will occur. You do not need to be a statistical futurist or economic analyst to understand what is occurring in the world. You simply need to be attuned to your media (other than social media) and to pay attention to the progress, or lack thereof, of developments that help your societies endure. Lastly, what is grossly missing from your global civilization and from all language groups and nations are two things, and they are both related. One is a global and societal willingness of individuals to assist their societies to survive. There is also missing a societal morality that will assist individuals to make those decisions. Decisions that affect not just an individual or a small group of people, but the larger group of societies.
Selfishness will not work.
Societies are the carriers of your cultures that bring culture to future generations. When the selfishness of individuals is willing to sacrifice the good of the society, then you are beginning to see the internal destruction of that culture and that society. A guiding, societal-level morality would assist greatly to give societies and nations, automatically, the possibility of sustaining themselves into the future and the possibility of transcending their failed histories. It is important for this point of view to be expanded—to be thought about. The individual morality is sufficient for an individual and even very small groups of people, but it is insufficient to assist nations and cultures to transcend their past and move into the future. In total regard of those two points is that there is a failure to appreciate the possibility of societies, nations transcending their past. And they cannot do that selfishly. They must also take into account other nations, other people, other societies, [and other generations]. Then that will have come full circle.
Sustaining a society.
Craig: Thank you. Yes, it does seem like there is a sort of a lack of any consciousness of the society around us. There are a lot of people who don’t really feel that they’re a part of a society, and that they have no particular interest in perpetuating it. Is that a common sort of mindset or am I just imagining that?
Machiventa. No, it is surely not your imagination, and you describe it very well. When you begin to apply a societal morality and a societal necessity of societies surviving, then that will reformat or create the thinking or planning that will bring about those ends. You see, your civilization that exists now is traditional—it is antiquarian. Your societies have moved past those old, traditional perspectives, values, and orientations. The missing link also in this transcending process is the appreciation that societies and cultures go through evolutionary stages. Democracy is a social institution that is at its very beginning entry level of social evolution. There are several more, perhaps as many as three more, evolutionary stages that the democratic process must go through in order for societies to enter into the days of Light and Life.
The proposition that there is social evolution is not operational in much thinking of universities and governments and large corporations. When the appreciation for social evolution as being operating de facto in cultures, then they have the possibility of actually, in fact, doing so. The thought must precede the actions, and so there must be some thought given to these possibilities. The thought gives the probability it will occur eventually; however, as you know, with consciousness, the consciousness must rise sufficiently for more and more people to appreciate that point of view and the future for their future generations.
You see, all these things are tied together. You cannot enter this stream with one point of view and hoping to exit at the same point. Once you enter into this stream of wholeness and of social evolution and social morality and then global morality, then you have entered into the stream of transforming your societies into ones that become capable of transcending their existence. Thank you.
Calamities can open minds, but not easily.
Craig: All right. And I guess the whole sort of calamities we’re entering into is going to open people’s minds to a lot of these possibilities that they’re just not open to thinking about right now.
Machiventa. Well my friend, I thank you for that thought, but do not be too naïve that it will occur without some more developments that force the issue. It is important that individuals begin to think about these issues, these problems. If I may backtrack a few steps, what you are seeing around in the world with all the problems of militarism, economies that are going haywire, and with democracies entering into a phase of decrepitness is that these represent the over-mature stages of social evolution. It is necessary for more than just philosophers to think about what is occurring. What is occurring is evidence of overdue change or shift to higher evolutionary levels of social existence. This may sound off of the topic, philosophically remote, and removed from our discussion, but in fact we are talking about the daily living of many millions of individuals and how they live now.
The last point of my message today is that you are thinking. You are conscious thinkers, and you must think more thoroughly about what it is that is occurring. We have spoken many times about anticipating the future—of thinking ahead of what may occur. We have repeated that message many, many times, and so there will become an era before too long where it must become an issue of conscious thought of leaders and of potential leaders. Those individuals who are already in positions of cultural, political, educational, economic, and military leadership and so on are traditional in their thinking. Of all the ones who have the possibility of thinking in alternative terms, it is the military. They want to know how to protect their society of what it may become. This is a very important phase of the world that you will see in the future—the world that will become. Thank you.
Scott: Thank you for the opportunity to participate again today. Dear Machiventa, I feel great personal anxiety when I look at the political state of the world, even our own countries here in North America. I’ve been involved in political activism for many, many years, challenged the status quo many times, and helped try to do evolutionary, sensible things from time to time with different degrees of success, however it seems to me that there is a need for individuals still to take on, to treasure the rights [they have] in democratic countries, and to become much more aware of how much potential influence and power they actually have to attract men and women of good will to be forward thinking and help us with this transitional process. And it just frustrates me to no end to see special interests continue to be able to manipulate agendas and to discourage perhaps more enlightened people from participating fully as citizens of this [Unintelligible].
Be patient.
Machiventa. Did you have a question? Would you want a response to your statement?
Scott: A response to my statement, and I guess my question is: How can we continue to try to do what we can to help with an evolutionary process of political maturity that will lead to more enlightened and helpful leadership to Father Michael’s plan for Urantia’s future?
Machiventa. Thank you for your question and your pre-statement. What is required in your situation—the situation you describe—is waiting. You are anxious because you see the way. You are anxious because you already know that there is a better way that includes more people—ordinary citizens, and that this new way excludes those of special interest. So much is required of you to be patient. Anxiousness, anxiety, panic attacks, and so on are not helpful. They are indicators of crisis within yourself. You are an example for others in the peace you maintain within yourself. You can be of greater assistance to others as you project that peace onto the venues where you can be of influence.
Let me give you an example of when patience is required. If you were a military attaché to the foreign office of the diplomatic efforts of a nation, and you knew much about the history of militarism, of diplomacy, and national evolution, you may become aware that there are stages of crisis as a nation begins to collapse and that panic becomes an everyday part of the life of citizens and that eventually the processes of civil society begin to collapse upon themselves. As you can see or use that assessment tool, your nations are not anywhere close to that. The mature democracies of the world have a long way to go before they even come close to that. There are younger democracies that are now having difficulties, and which need solid assistance and examples to proceed to make their efforts successful.
You can be assured that we are watching these situations very carefully. And yes, we are aware that your world is quivering on the brink, and that there are many situations that will actually come apart before major changes for the better do take place. We, meaning my office and my teams, are fully aware of the influence of the Most Highs on Urantia and the organizations in which they have influence. They too are abreast of these situations. Your assessment should include the option and possibility of some despotic individual or group of military individuals who would wage a coup. This is not on the board that we see in any western civilization or mature democracy at this time. That would be abhorrent to the social evolution of those nations.
What we are saying is that when you see evidence of personalities coming forward and speaking arrogantly and inappropriately as many of the tyrants that you have witnessed in the past which would include those of World War II and World War I and those individuals who were of such a mindset as to influence their nations to engage in genocide, any evidence of this is what we abhor, and which for us are determinants of the necessity of change for the dominance of good. I am saying those things not as weasel words as you would call them, but as persuasive words to help you appreciate the state of the world now at this time. There are nations that are dominated by dictatorial individuals which eventually will surely come apart. This is not of our doing; it is the doing of the self-will of individuals who will to make decisions for their own selfish ends. This may include the dictators or the totalitarian personalities or it may include individuals who want to take their place. Watch for these things and pray for right and perfect outcomes for those dangerous situations.
This is not meant to alarm you. This is simply the facts of life of living on a complicated planet that is highly immature with highly immature national figures and global figures. It is important to have some semblance of intelligence and intelligent planning and strategic planning on the part of those individuals who want to see good. Of course, a part of our influence to you is that you would pray for right action, that you would see right and perfect action come into being, come into existence, and that families could enjoy themselves in their homes, enjoy full employment, and appreciate an improving quality of life.
These are difficult times on your planet, and surely, they will become more difficult. You have a pivotal role even as helpless as you may feel and see yourself as you are a bright light of guidance for everyone else around you. Be that beacon of light. We implore you, and ask you to be of assistance to Christ Michael in the journey of this world. Thank you.
Scott: Amen.
Be discerning.
Bea: Hi there, I have another question that just popped into my mind Machiventa. I don’t know if today is the right time to discuss this, or if it should be discussed. It’s in regard to an article I read on the Russia Mission website. It was a collaboration between you and one of the T/Rs in Canada regarding upcoming worldwide calamities. I think this was in regard to physical calamities. I’m wondering if you have any updates or comments regarding that?
Machiventa. Yes, I do. And it is a cautionary note. That is: Whether it is This One that I’m speaking through or any other T/R, when you hear words or phrases that cause fear in you perhaps it is due to fear in that individual. Make sure you do your assessment and your discerning practices as you assess the T/R, the message, and the reaction of other people. It is important that you have a balanced perspective of this process and an intelligent perspective at that. You do not want to have leaders and T/Rs make statements that are highly inflammatory. I say this as influence now to the listeners and readers of the messages that have come through This One just a few moments ago. Assess the situation in complete regard. There is a lesson that we co-created with This One in the Melchizedek schools training manual that would be useful for discerning the message and the T/R and so on. Thank you.
Bea: Thank you Machiventa. You’ve answered my question.
Democratic vs. autocratic governments and sustainability.
Rick: I would like to ask a question starting with a summary of [your answer] two questions before this one. I would like to summarize what I believe you said. I’d like you to confirm how accurate it is and also expand on it if you like. What I heard you say when you were talking about the world political situations and the trajectory we’re headed on is that established democracies will weather the upcoming less than happy future, but that other forms of government (and I think you were pointing to countries that are autocratic such as, I guess, Turkey, China, Russia, sub-Saharan Africa and so on and so forth) that they are going to have serious difficulties weathering the upcoming future.
Machiventa. Yes, those nations will [have serious difficulties] simply because those forms of government do not offer their societies the possibilities of becoming self-sustaining, socially sustainable.
Daniel: The statement before that, what was that? There were two parts to your question.
Rick: I guess the second part would be that established democracies would weather the upcoming problems the best and the autocracies, dictatorships, and weak governments will not do well.
Daniel: Got it.
Mature democracies needed for sustainable societies
Machiventa. Concerning mature democracies: being a democracy doesn’t assure that they will become politically, economically, and socially self-sustaining or that they are sustainable. It’s the traditional, mature democracies that exist now that offer the world and their populations the possibility of stepping into a much more mature, evolutionary stage of democracy. Failing to do that, resisting movements towards greater participation by the public and so on, is a sure sign that democracy will fail. The thinkers of democracies and in democracies must come to the general awareness that: “This isn’t working. There must be something better. What is it? What does it look like? How do we effect that?” In other words, what you and we must do is to make people aware that there is hope, and hope comes in the form of [a] much more mature democratic process that includes the participation of more citizens on a more immediate basis. And there are other designs for democracies that would work. Thank you.
Rick: Thank you.
JT: Machiventa, do you have a closing?
Fear not, cultivate oneness with God, be open, and hope.
Machiventa. This is Machiventa Melchizedek. As you can measure from the preceding 45 minutes or so of our discussion today, that these are times to give serious thought. This is not the late 1950’s, it is not the mid 1970’s, this is now. Your world has progressed to where it is now. The world that we see, that Christ Michael sees, is a world that He wants to return to, a world that is transformed by the love and light of the people who live here. That requires a lack of fear. That requires a sense of oneness with God within you. It requires that you be open and receptive to ideas, inclinations, and the guidance that will assist you to live more fully, completely, and wholly in this world. It is important that there be hope for individuals. Where there is hope, then there is a possibility of transforming that hope into real possibilities and eventually trusting and knowing that a new future is about to be with you. And that is one of the aspects that we have not spoken about today: That you in mature democracies are truly closer to living the life that you would like to see for everyone than you think is a possibility. Know that Christ Michael is among you, the Spirit of Truth is among you, Nebadonia and her many corps of angels are among you and willing to assist those individuals who are willing to assist others to help themselves. We thank you for this opportunity to be with you today, and we look forward to new breakthroughs in life for you individually and for this planet. Thank you and good day.
All: Thank you.
