Phronetic leadership and co-creative relationships
Machiventa: Good morning. This is Machiventa Melchizedek, and it is a delightful pleasure to be here with you this morning. We so much appreciate your minds which are quiet, which are still. That allows us to clearly view you in your mind-activity. Today my team has given me a number of items to talk about. My agenda seems to be quite full, but nonetheless we will always have time for questions and answers.
We are now finally able to introduce you to a leadership style that is very friendly to us and which Christ Michael has used and it in fact parallels the work of the First Source and Center for the creation of mortals. On this planet it is called phronetic leadership (and it’s spelled P H R O N E T I C.) It comes from the Greek word phronesis, and it has to do with common wisdom, common sense, and so on. It has been reactivated in time by the Japanese. Two particular authors have been very good at this and have written an article for the Harvard Business Review in the May 2011 issue.
The reason for presenting this to you is that it dovetails very well with the co-creative design process—the co-creative means of instructing mortals to be partners with us. And I’ll answer the primary question that most of you have repeatedly asked over time and that is: What can I do to assist spirit in its work? For now, the relationship I alluded to last time is: In this co-creative relationship, Spirit will present you with opportunities after you have dedicated your will to do God’s will. And that direction is further enhanced for you and your life’s path when you ask Spirit to bring opportunities to you for your growth. Now that is a wide-open process, isn’t it? It could mean many things to you. It may require you to move geographically. It may require you to quit your job and start a new one, or it may be such that you have a holiday, sabbatical, or time off for some reason and you learn to be of assistance to others in one way or another.
This process dovetails very well with the phronetic leadership style. It is used by senior strategists in corporations, governments, and so on. Basically, the way it works is that you are given an assignment by your superior and you are told to work to fulfill this as best you can. Well, that gives you a very free hand, doesn’t it? [You can] launch out and contact associates, subordinates, superiors and others in your company, your corporation, government, or wherever you work, whatever you’re involved in, to begin to form the future. And as you come upon those difficulties and you are stymied to move ahead productively, you sit in the quietness of your life, and you ask Spirit to assist you in resolving this stymied situation—that you need to make some progress towards this goal. And yes, another opportunity should be coming your way, and when you first start off in this process and you’re just a new beginner working so co-creatively with Spirit in this intimate dialogue, it may take a few days, a few weeks, a few months and hopefully not a few years to receive your answer. A lot of it depends on how stuck you are with what you think ought to occur. And so, when you are totally flexible, the answers, the avenues, the opportunities will come your way.
This is the phronetic means of leadership, and it is a phronetic means of management. It is values-based. It is quite different from the materialistic object-quantity based theories of objective and goal management and achievement. This allows the individual to grow into the challenge of fulfilling the assignment. And so, just as God—the First Source and Center—has created mortals to learn how to become perfect in order for that mortal to return to Paradise over time, following their ascendant journey, so too does Christ Michael use the same possibility—whether it is for a decimal planet or whether it is in the vast majority of normal planets and their ascension plan. In other words, you get to express the potential within you that is akin to fulfilling the job assignment.
So too, it is important to know ahead of time what this challenge is all about, both for you as a mortal as you strive to become perfect, as Christ Michael as Jesus told you to do, and as you wish to do for your own life today. And so, you find the means—the avenues and those learning situations—that assist you to grow into the potential you brought into life as an individual mortal with parents and social existence, and also as a spiritual being who is growing into the early morontial stages of their spiritual maturity. This phronetic management and leadership style is very comfortable to us and for us, and it works for morontial beings as well as it does for those who are spiritual beings in Uversa, the seventh universe capital.
PTSD and becoming
I mention these things because we want you to clearly understand and see what your life is all about—what you are seeing. You should have challenges in life. They should not be of such depth and trauma that you are given a post-traumatic stress syndrome of symptoms. You should, however, have the means to overcome that. Many of you have been through many PTSD experiences. And so, it is a challenge then to find your center, your balance, and your groundedness. The spiritual person sees this as a challenge to become. You may be a victim of PTSD, but to become normal and to become able to see through the trauma and that you have overcome that, is a tremendous achievement for earning your morontial wings, so to speak.
Learn to T/R—ask a question
Now, getting back to how you can be of greater assistance to Spirit, there’s really one objective that you should be concerned about. The unfortunate aspect is that some of you can achieve this, and some of you cannot. Some of you may struggle with this for many years before you finally achieve. What is it you want to achieve? What we want you to achieve is to assist us more directly and capably in this grand dialogue that you will have with us; this conversation of life, its purpose and meaning. That is to learn to T/R. You have a wonderful T/R in your midst who has been writing consistently about how to take the steps to learn how to T/R. The 11.11 Group has published these directions and guidance for your assistance. [1] We have one suggestion that has always proven to be a great benefit, whether you were a monk in the kitchens of the abbey many centuries ago or whether you are an individual now in your life.
When you have those moments where you’re alone, when everyone has left the house for instance, or that you have the weekend to yourself, you would want to putter around to keep your hands busy and while you’re doing that, you would ask spirit to assist you to understand how to T/R. We have said this many times. The instructions are still consistent and that is to ask a question as simple as: “Dear guardian angel, do you love me?” Well, my friends, you should hear an immediate, resounding, loud proclamation of “YES” or some affirmative answer to that. And so, you begin by asking these almost self-evident questions and so on until you are able to have questions and answers, questions and answers back and forth between yourself and your celestial teacher, your guardian angel, or your Thought Adjuster.
A dialogue with Spirit
Now that is up-stepped sometime when you are doing the same kind of menial activities, keeping your hands busy and your guardian angel or celestial teacher or Thought Adjuster asks you a question. Now that changes the game tremendously, don’t you think? And so, This One remembers very clearly the day that that happened in his life, and that is a momentous occasion that says that the spiritual entity trusts you to ask and talk in meaningful ways that are not disrespectful, either to yourself, to others, or to the spiritual being. This is the beginning of initiation by the spiritual entity where you have initiated this dialogue on your own, maybe days, weeks, months, or years ago by asking these questions. And as you persist, we give you the picture of a child in the grocery store with their mother who is going down the aisle looking for breakfast cereals and the child is not fully conversant to say what they want, but they can point to the box of cereal that they do want and they say over and over again: “Mommy, mommy, please get that for me.”
And as she goes on her way up and down the aisle at the grocery store, this little one continues to request the same thing until finally she relents, goes back to the cereal aisle, and buys the box of cereal that the child wants. And so, this is an opportunity for the child to enter into dialogue with the parent and the parents can then ask the child questions in return. And so, it begins the process of socializing and enculturating the child to be a good, responsible, capable, and caring citizen or participant in society. Your situation is almost identical to that. The process is the same with mortals and the spiritual entity.
Ask the right question
Now, you can extend this same metaphor similarly as the child. We have heard many, many times—hundreds of times, if not thousands of times—from some individuals, “Oh dear God give me, dear God give me, dear God give me.” You know the pleading and the beseeching. “I need this. I want this. I know it’s good for me. Please God give this to me.” And so, we as your assistants for growth, are patient, let you stew in your own juices of anguish and wait for you to realize that it is the wrong question. That it must be the right question. And what would be the right question? Well, as an adult, you’re pleading for what you want. You would then ask: “Pease help me understand what I need to know, how to ask for this material, and how to understand what I need to understand and that is why it has not been provided so far?”
Well, my friends that will lead to great insights of understanding both for you and for your spiritual assistants. This is a slow process of beginning to wean the mortal child or adult away from the things of materiality to the things that are meaningful, and which will contribute to their spiritual growth and ascension. It is not that material things are withheld to hold you in anguish, but that these things are forthcoming when the eventuality that your life becomes more complete and understanding what it is that you really need, and you become open and receptive to something even better than what you asked for. It’s that simple.
Draw yourself into the future you want
Now, I’m going to shift gears here for a moment. You have been following the discussion about sustainability. This is 2021 in your time frame and sustainability has been a topic with increasing importance since the mid-sixties. It has become even more so as time has progressed. Now it has become even more important to your world. Looking at the long arc of history and the long arc of the development of civilizations and nations, we have the observation that sustainability seems to be an answer to a question that has never been asked. I’ll pause to let that sink in a little bit for you… Now, what would that question be? Well for us, who have seen civilizations come and go on many planets and [seen] the successful ones finally ask that question and answer it sufficiently, that they become sustained as an ongoing process of existence well into the centuries and millennia.
The question is basically two questions that This One has quaintly named The Quintessential Existential Questions for Democracies of the 3rd Millennium. And the primary question that must be asked and answered by every citizen of a nation and particularly of your global civilization is this: Do we want to sustain our living into the future for decades, centuries, and millennia for the benefit of all future generations? The answer should be yes. As this question has not been explicitly asked and must be asked, many people will be in befuddlement, and they might ask the question of “What? What’s that about, huh?”—and so on. You see, once you become aware of your vulnerable situation as nations today (and I’ve told you often enough that you know that your nations are now in a very tenuous and vulnerable situation) that having the consciousness to ask the question is primary to developing plans and designs for the future you do want to live in.
Efforts to blindly stumble ahead with sustainability—whether social sustainability or material sustainability—will just be fraught with many difficulties as there is no point in the future drawing you toward it. You cannot push yourself as nations and individuals into sustainable existence if you don’t know where you’re going. You must draw yourself into the future. This requires a mature consciousness on the part of your leaders, as part of all citizens and middle managers and statesmen and so on. This is the question that corporations must be asking themselves now. When you are a part of a very large mega corporation that has many trillions of dollars of assets, that question is vital to its continued existence both as a conveyor of dividends to stockholders and as an active agent that is assisting a society or many societies move into the future. This requires a mindset which is much different than exists or has existed in the materialism and materialistic object-quantity orientations of nations thus far.
This change of consciousness is important, and it’s important for you as an individual. We see you who are listening to this today or reading this material in the future as vital to leadership. You may not believe it, but you are in a cultural position of leadership. You may be called in the future to be of assistance to help people understand what’s going on; “Why aren’t our plans working?” and so on. When you project, say, or share a future, you are creating a future that you want to live in. And as one of your sages and contemporary business people has said: “You create the future you want to live in,” or words to that effect.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
Alan Curtis Kay, 1971, at an early Palo Alto Research Center meeting.

Draw the arrow to the bulls-eye
Let me give you a nice, clean metaphor. You are an experienced archer. You have a wonderful bow, and you have these very exactly manufactured arrows and you have the objects that can transfer the arrow to the bullseye in the distance. Your job in training yourself to become the activator and creator of multiple bulls-eye hits must put your frame of mind in place of seeing you at the [point of the] bulls-eye drawing the arrow to it. Yes, this is a metaphorical reference that has a tremendous, powerful effect on your mind to help you control your muscles that will send the arrow, with the aid of the bow, to the target. In other words, you are energetically drawing the arrow to the bulls-eye as you are at the bulls-eye point, figuratively. So, when you ask about sustainability, what is its purpose? What is this for? Why should I recycle my beer cans, my soda pop bottles and cans, and other plastics? What good is that doing? That is part of hitting that bull’s eye. It is one small act that draws your great-great-grandchildren into a future that they want to live in. Right now, the future that your generation is creating is one that very few people would want to live in—particularly the Millennials and their children who are so much aware of the wrong direction of the cultures they live in.
So, if you take all of these items together that I have spoken about this morning, they all weave together very nicely. And the “very nicely” is that you have within you, innately, the urges, the motivators—which you call seven values—that urge you into a future that is socially sustainable, where there are good relationships between people, between communities, neighbors, and nations. All of these things are integrated, and this is not by accident or happenstance. It is simply part of the grand scheme of how you as a spiritual being were designed by the Life Carriers in their laboratories who had particular specifications to fulfill in the creation of your species, and that there has been no stone left unturned to assist you to do that, albeit you do have some anomalies in your gene structure that cause disabilities and diseases and so on. These in time will be corrected by your own scientists as they strive to remediate those genetic problems. Those efforts, by some human laboratories, to create another human being are misdirected. They must first understand the genome that they were given and to understand that and how to manipulate the gene splicing so that parents are able to generate whole children without those anomalies. I am open for questions if you have any from this session or in a previous session or some future sessions. Thank you.
JT: I’ll open a question-and-answer session. And we’ve got Rick.
Rick: Yes. Good afternoon. Machiventa, how are you today?
MM: Excellent. Thank you for asking.
Present Status of Machiventa Melchizedek
Rick: You’re welcome. I have two questions. My first is regarding a quote from The Urantia Book Chapter 93. The title of that chapter is Present Status of Machiventa Melchizedek. And the quote reads: “Recent rulings handed down from the Most Highs of Edentia, and later confirmed by the Ancients of Days of Uversa strongly suggest that this bestowal Melchizedek is destined to take the place of the fallen Planetary Prince Caligastia. If our conjectures in this respect are correct, it is altogether possible that Machiventa Melchizedek may again appear in person on Urantia and in some modified manner resume the world role of the dethroned Planetary Prince, or else appear on earth to function as vicegerent Planetary Prince representing Christ Michael, who now actually holds the title of Planetary Prince of Urantia.” My question is: This is a fascinating UB quote regarding you and your possible future on Urantia. Would you like to comment?
MM: This is Machiventa. I will leave your question as it is. The statement in The Urantia Book is, in my opinion and [that of] my assistants, complete as it is. There is more that could be said about that, however we believe it would be a distraction to answer your question directly at this time. Thank you for asking though.
The dark place of egos
Rick: You’re welcome. My second question is: From you, from our last session, you said the darkest place is within a person who has no hope or light of knowing God personally. And so, my question is: This dark place you refer to, is it A) about people not capable of knowing God because of their genetic inheritance? or B) Is this referring to people who are normal minded and have a Thought Adjuster and the opportunity to know God but choose to be atheistic or agnostic?
MM: It is the second. That dark place is the place of egos, where egos self-proclaim it is right and that it is correct. There is no darker place than that, my friend, Thank you.
The sadness of atheism and agnosticism
Rick: Okay, thank you. That leaves me, with your permission, to a third question and that is: In my life, as I think most of us, we have known people who are both atheistic and agnostic who are good people and are the authors of good deeds. Is this sadness that you refer to—this dark place—does it also exist in atheist and agnostics, true from my point of view, good people who perpetuate good deeds?
MM: No, there is not darkness in that person as they do have the light enough to promote and to act in positive, beneficial ways for themselves and for others. The sadness generates from us. It is sad to see such magnificent individuals who are humanitarian totally and who do good works and good deeds and have good thoughts. The sadness is that they are intellectually bereft of the will-decision to believe in God to then augment their own survival into the infinity of time and beyond. The sadness is what, to paraphrase, a magnificent individual this is. We wish and hope that this individual would become God knowing and God committed. Hopefully that will answer your question. If not, you can ask a sidebar question.
Rick: I appreciate your answer to the third question. It does answer it well.
MM: Thank you.
Liz: Good morning Machiventa. It’s so nice to be with you today.
MM: Good to have you here with us.
A new and larger T/R symposium?
Liz: Thank you. I was very interested in the first part of your opening statement today about receiving tasks. And Machiventa, I have to say that when Sondjah Melchizedek through Daniel spoke to our small group here last May and I was in the room to feel that energy, it was a life-changing experience for me. This was the first time I’ve ever been in the presence of someone channeling and it was profoundly moving. Now a couple of years ago I talked to you about a greater gathering of people who read these transcripts and who are on this call. But then of course the pandemic came, but now as things are beginning to ease, I feel like I have been tasked to facilitate that type of experience for many other people, but my vision this time has expanded. I’ve quite suddenly envisioned a weekend symposium where we bring together three who I deem to be trustworthy T/Rs and through them invite you and perhaps teacher Vutia, Monjoronson, Christ Michael, mother Nebadonia, and maybe others to speak to an assembled group on the status of the correcting time. As you stated in the last session, there’s a synergy among the different T/Rs and having several of them host several of you as you address a group of maybe 100, perhaps even 300 people might be very fruitful. Do you agree?
MM: I agree in part. You have stated many things which I hold an exception to, but I agree [with] the need for that. I would caution you, however, being the initiator of this idea. We are more oriented towards the audience expressing their unified need. We have seen many times at 1-1 a personality pushes an idea forward that it gets pushed in directions that may not be comfortable for others, or it may not be complemental to the needs of the larger group. We know that you are capable of making this happen. You have done so many times in the past with other events and we would hold that out for a while to see how this proceeds. We invite you to be patient with this idea and not to immediately enter into finalizing or setting up plans to do this. We do believe, knowing facts that you were unaware of, that there will be a possibility in the not-too-distant future when there will be many people in the audience who say “Yes, we want to do this.” And it is much like polling, in that you poll or survey a population to see who may be interested and who isn’t. We want those who are interested to come forward and participate and to experience first-hand the energies that are conveyed that are not necessarily conveyed through the T/R, but that which the spiritual entity fills the space where you are holding your event. Do you have questions now?
Beneficial to the Correcting Time
Liz: Well, I understand very clearly what you’re talking about, and I appreciate the clarity. I do not want to push this forward to the detriment of the vision that I have. I also know that it’s just my vision and not your vision, and I would far prefer your vision. The other question I had about this is: Would this be of benefit to the Correcting Time or am I thinking that this is just going to be a wonderful, personal experience for those who attend? Of course, I want to be of assistance to the Correcting Time, so I would appreciate your comment on that.
MM: Certainly. The Correcting Time is a program. It is a developmental program. It wants to promote the social evolution of Urantian societies and individuals—spiritual evolution. As far as such a gathering assisting the Correcting Time, you must then look to the program of the symposium to be such that it would complement the plans of the Correcting Time, that its intention would be to broaden awareness for the purposes of the Correcting Time and all the projects underneath that large umbrella. Is this clear at this point?
Liz: Yes, yes, it changes, I guess I might say, the trajectory of the focus a little bit because I’m not sure that I had a focus except that I want as many people as possible to have the amazing spiritual experience that I had, but I understand what you’re saying here about putting the focus on the correcting time. Then I will stand back and continue to contemplate this, and I want you to know that I’m ready, able, and willing to zoom into action when we think that the time is right for anything like this.
MM: Thank you. This is Machiventa, and your talents, efforts, and dedication will not be wasted. Thank you.
Liz: Thank you.
Jeff: Good morning Machiventa.
MM: Good morning, Jeff.
Fewer NET sessions
Jeff: I want to thank you for the trajectory of the material that you have been presenting over the last several years. It gets meatier and meatier, and it gets more intellectually satisfying, and I just want to say thank you for that uplift that you’re bringing. In our last session I was I was a little startled when you said that the time that we are spending with you may lessen or the program may change a bit so that we may not meet quite as often, and I, just personally, was “Oh my, you know these are my friends, I’m going to miss this.” Is it appropriate for you to give a little more color on that statement?
Become an operational Spirit asset on the ground
MM: Gladly and thank you for your compliment. What we have been striving to achieve over time is that as we move closer to the presence of significant developments that we would be able to reveal these things more and more accurately to you in a timely manner. As far as the decrease in the times that we meet, that is a matter of circumstances of several things. First of all, you know, as we do, that This One has work to do. There are times when it will be necessary for us to take This One away to do more work that can be applied pragmatically to your societies. I know that those are fuzzy words that are euphemistic and that if you were an attorney, you’d call these weasel words—that I’m trying to tell you a message without being too direct. And that is my response at this time.
This One has other work to do which will take him away from these immediate activities though we will make every opportunity available as possible for This One to meet with you on our two-week schedule. Taking This One away is not meant as a punishment, but it certainly has an intention of urging those of you who want to be T/Rs to become those T/Rs that will be needed. This is one of the reasons why I have addressed the questions that have been asked repeatedly by many people “What can we do to assist Spirit?” You can assist us by becoming operational spiritual assets on the ground who can receive instructions, dialogue with us on a daily basis, make corrections in the odd ground programs, and to seek direction for yourself as you proceed doing so.
Phronetic leadership—there must be room for becoming
Now this is very overt. It’s no longer covert. We want to be out in the open and to be seen as a blessing to everyone. When T/Rs begin this process, they become extremely valuable to us. We have very, very few people in the world who operate on a conversational basis daily and work with a particular program that we have developed for them to proceed. The development of these individual projects is such that it will call the person to grow—to grow into the resources and to the person they need to be in the future. This is why we mentioned this phronetic leadership. It is desperately needed in materialistic, hardcore, scientific, fact-based societies. There must be room for becoming, and that your sciences would acknowledge that, and that this would be a part and parcel of management, of supervision, and so on. Do you see my point, Jeff?
Jeff: Yes, I do. And if I may I would like to ask a different question. I have tried several times in my life to try to T/R. I think the first time was right after the Woods Hole people showed up in Los Angeles, and the second time was at the gathering last spring. I have failed. and I am not certain how I can personally try again to be that T/R assistant that you need.
On becoming a T/R
MM: I appreciate your anguish dear one. You are trying too hard. We would advise you first of all not to try to T/R with a group of people. Beginning to T/R is a very intimate process. If you cannot trust yourself to T/R and hear a message, then how can you expect anybody else to? You must begin the process between yourself and your guardian or Thought Adjusters, or celestial teacher and overcome your fears of receiving inaccurate material. We have told you in the past that the way to begin is by asking a sincere question, remain open for an answer, wait—and do something else if need be—for the answer to come to you and then proceed. Once you have received an answer, you accept the answer and then discern it. It is important that you totally be open to receive an answer to your question. If you are hesitant, if you’re guarded, if you have an unspoken bias against your own capability of T/Ring, then you will truly never receive an answer. We need to have you accept whatever comes through you and then discern. If you are judging the message before it’s received by you then you have failed—abjectly failed. You must have faith in yourself, my friend—your faith that you do trust God, you do trust your Thought Adjuster, and that you’re worthy and deserving of receiving an answer to your questions.
You are the qualitative essence of the God presence within you
There is a caveat and that is that perhaps your training as an individual through your mortal lifetime, through your occupation, through your mental habits and inner disciplines of thinking get in the way. We have found that people who are accountants, who are engineers, those people who are laboratory assistants, or managers who go by analyses and by evaluations—qualitative and quantitative—that they hold the same objective standards for their own inner thinking. Well, my friend, that is certainly patently unfriendly. You are far more than those processes and procedures of a profession or activity. You are a living being. You are the qualitative essence of the God presence within you. You determine how good the quality expresses itself through the acceptance of God’s messages through you. We’re not asking you to accept totally any message that you do receive, but that you accept receiving it and then discern the message. Does that help?
Jeff: Immensely. And I hope that that helps many of the readers of these transcripts as well.
We need lots of T/Rs
MM: We need you. We need T/Rs. We need lots of T/Rs. It is our wish that we would have over 100,000 active T/Rs in any given nation who have the same kind of conversant dialog going on throughout the day, understanding that guidance, and if that person has questions, they ask another question about what is happening and where they’re going. It is no different from you being given an assignment at work to design and improve a process which you then present the problems to your team, group or your thought group, examine that, and then proceed further on. You do that with the team that you have with you—those individuals who are unseen to you. They want you to be successful, they are urging you to be successful. They’re striving to draw you into a successful future, and this is one of the earliest most basic parts of doing so. If you think you can’t then you can’t. If you judge yourself as not being worthy of it, then you can’t. If you think the messages will be tainted by the “evil” in you, then you can’t either. We know that you have a good heart, and you have good intentions. And remember, it is by your intentions that you are judged—whether you survive or not—in the long term of your grand ascension program. Thank you.
Jeff: Thank you very much. I really appreciate this.
Powers and Privileges of the Kingdom
JT: We have a couple of reader questions. Tom references a paragraph in paper 170 of The Urantia Book, a paper titled The Kingdom of Heaven, and it says: And so, for centuries the Christian church has labored under great embarrassment because it dared to lay claim to those mysterious powers and privileges of the kingdom, powers and privileges which can be exercised and experienced only between Jesus and his spiritual believer brothers. And thus it becomes apparent that membership in the church does not necessarily mean fellowship in the kingdom; one is spiritual, the other mainly social.” He says: “Some of which stated in this paper 170 was taught to me in my early days of Christian teachings, but most if not all of the rest of this paper I have felt or has been confirmed over my years of study and even more so in the study of The Urantia Book. However, this thought, outlined above, genuinely puzzles me. Again, what powers and privileges are being referred to here.”
MM: Thank you for your question asking for clarity. The powers and privileges which you have in hand are already existent in you. It is simply a matter of being in oneness with your Thought Adjuster within you. When you are in oneness with your Thought, Adjuster, then you are totally in tune with Christ Michael’s will for your life and for all his mortal, ascendant spiritual brothers. You have within you the capacity to move mountains. That has been said before, has been written, and with much disbelief by many people. However, that would be a test and, of course, spirit will not be tested. You must hold yourself to a standard which is accomplishable by yourself. One of which is simply being able to hear the voice of the small quiet voice within you that is your Thought Adjuster speaking to you in times of need, in times when you need guidance.
The powers are many: the power to heal, the power to see and avoid a happenstance in the future which would be detrimental. You may be thinking of psychic powers. We would too. However, this has been aggrandized in many inappropriate ways and it has been commercialized to the point of being irrelevant as an asset to a spiritual being. To know that which is inevitable is a blessing for sure. It is one which can be used for guidance of individuals, groups, and whole nations let alone the individual themselves. To know ahead of time which job avenue would be best for them is something that would be akin to understanding the presence of the Thought Adjuster leading you into a new occupation.
These are many things that are available to you. The requirement is that you wholeheartedly believe and trust in the experience of knowing God personally which you know—have been told—to know something is to have experienced it. When you have experienced God within you, experienced God talking to you, then you have achieved the level at the end of the hope continuum that ends in trust in knowing. Then you become one of experience with the capability to experience those undisclosed powers and abilities as stated. Thank you.
JT: Russ asks: Since much of our life is affected by global corporations, won’t some of our solutions be more global than local? This transcends individual democracies.
Daniel: JT Is that a question?
Begin with yourself
JT: I’ll read it again. “Since much of our life is affected by global corporations, won’t some of our solutions be more global than local? Is our recovery plan multistage five-year, ten-year, twenty-year … plans, [Are they] super idealistic plans? Wing it as we go?” That’s what he says.
MM: This is Machiventa. Once again, you as a reader and listener are leaping to the grandiose rather than beginning with yourself. No, the answers are not global to start with. They are the end result of right thinking by billions of individuals. It is important that individuals form the future that is needed—not to present an alternative global plan. You may have global plans, but you must implement them at the local level. You must begin with yourself, and if that’s working then you would share it with someone else, and so on. The idea is to continue to see the wealth of productivity as it evolves. As far as one-year, five-year, ten-year plans are concerned, the plans of men are always undone in the developments of time. It is best to let Spirit lead the way, and therefore the closest you can ever become to Spirit is right there within you with your Thought Adjuster. Learn to dialogue with your Thought Adjuster concerning those global plans. Certainly, we as representatives of the totality of Spirit do have an interest in the global developments of your world—your civilization. It is necessary that individuals grasp that unto themselves. No matter how humble you may be, how impoverished you may be, how intellectually challenged you may be, you can make a contribution beginning with your life—to be at peace with it, to live easily with those requirements rather than challenging yourself with developing plans for other people to fulfill. Thank you.
JT: And we’ll finish up with a question from Recca.
T/Ring is like riding a bicycle
Recca: Thank you. Good morning, Machiventa. Good morning, everybody here. I’d just like to make a comment. I don’t have a question Machiventa, but I would like to follow up on your answer to Jeff. And I’d like to encourage Jeff, just to remind himself that when you decided to learn to ride a bike, Jeff, you scraped your knees a lot, you had training wheels, and then you learned how to do it. Then you might not have ridden a bike for a good many years, but you do remember how to do it when you get on a bike. You don’t have to go through the whole, same process again. So everything that you’ve tried before, when you thought you might want to try to transmit and receive—to T/R—is already in place in you and you can just go forward from here and just get on that bicycle again and take the advice that Machiventa has given us about just being, and pausing, and being in the stillness and accepting what it is that you’re listening to. So I can vouch for that riding a bicycle. That’s all I have to say.
MM: Thank you. This is Machiventa. Are we ready for benediction or closing?
JT: Certainly.
You are needed—become all you can be
MM: This is Machiventa Melchizedek, your planetary manager. Thank you for that metaphor, Recca. Once you learn to ride a bike, you never forget it. And the same can be said about swimming and other talents. So too it is with the ascending mortal and the development of their will—that those who come into compliance of Oneness with their Thought Adjuster would almost never think about deviating from that Oneness. And that to remain in communion with your Thought Adjuster becomes a daily activity. It becomes a living prayer. And more than prayer, it becomes a living meditation—a joining of hands across the space of time and the infinite universe. You are all capable of doing this. You all have the power. You are needed. We continue to tell you that you are needed, and that the urgency is only that which you make it. We ask you to be at ease, to be at peace, to accept yourself where you are, and that your intention is to become all that you could become. And this is one of the most magnificent dedications of life that you could ever make for yourself, for your Thought Adjuster, for Christ Michael, and Nebadonia. We thank you for your presence today and your dedication to continue this journey with us. Good day.
JT: Thank you Machiventa, and thank you Daniel.
