*A State of the World Message

You may think that this is not a happy message; it is a state of the world message to you at this time, of the situation of our relationship with you.  We have come to be very open with you, and some would say that we have been too revealing and transparent of the realities that you live with.  You are already aware of those things through your global news services.  What has not been confirmed by your social, political and economic authorities, we have done so for you.

*Terrorist bombings and mass shootings

*Terrorist bombings and mass shootings

Roxie:  Machiventa, as you are well aware of, our world has been experiencing terrorist bombings and mass shootings that seem to be escalating in frequency, if not in size.  We have discussed the mental aberrations of these terrorists, but what can we do as a society to get that turned around, other than just our consciousness?

MACHIVENTA:  There is much more to be said about it, but you—meaning the NEC team—is fairly representative of the awareness and intelligence of your society’s ability to talk generally about mental health issues.  So, if you have come to the end of your questions then that means that you have come to the end of awareness of most people to generate more questions concerning mental health, though if you listen or look into the words I have just given you, the spectrum of totality of human behavior involves mental illness and mental stability and can be examined on a continuum.  The trouble is, is that mental health theory, mental health sciences on Urantia are still very primitive, and that the mental health sciences have been stuck in modalities of treatment, rather than in understanding origins of causes for the appearance of mental health problems.  It is both environmental—meaning that the physical world you live in; it is environment as far as the social world you live in.  It is also caused by factors of heredity.  So, in the simplification, “is it heredity, or is it environment” needs much more examination by your professionals, which will not become really well developed for another 20-30 years.  Activities of the mind now are under intensive investigation, and there are literally billions upon trillions of bits of data available, but which yet do not make sense to the analysts or the researchers, because they are either not asking the right questions or they do not have the means to analyze what they do have on hand.

*Reflectivity

*Reflectivity

Roxie:  Thank you.  This question is completely off topic from what we’ve been discussing, but you mentioned in one of our recent transcripts, maybe the last one, about how wonderful reflectivity is in communications.  Could you please explain communication by reflectivity, and what stage in our ascent will we have the ability to use that wonderful system?
