[Michael’s plans had to wait for completion of the adjudication of the Rebellion]
MONJORONSON: Good morning, this is Monjoronson. (Group greetings.)
===Lesson===
The [[progress]] of Christ [[Michael]]’s [[Correcting Time]] continues ahead. For us the [[events]] have been rapidly [[developing]] so that they seem to be almost [[continuous]]. However to you, it may seem as though this is moving ahead at a snail’s pace. Just know that there is [[progress]]; it is [[developmental]], it is [[guided]], it is done with [[intention]], and with known outcomes in the [[eventuality]] of [[time]]. Christ Michael’s completion of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL 7th bestowal] and his [[assumption]] of [[Master Son|Sovereignty]] of [[Nebadon]] marked a very significant turnabout for the years of [[quarantine]] for this world and the other worlds. As we have said, there was a good deal of [[planning]] and [[development]] that has taken place since then. The [[actual]] implementation of [[contingency]] [[plans]] that would not be put into place until the [[adjudication]] was complete, which occurred in the very [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990's latter years of the second millennium] of this world. The closure of that [[millennium]] begins a new millennium, and much has changed and much has [[developed]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade) last ten years] of the [[Correcting Time]].
You are acquainted with the [[Teaching Mission]] as it began, almost [[simultaneously]] with the completion of the [[adjudication]] [[process]], and now the [[Magisterial Mission]] has come on board as well. Throughout all of this, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990%27s last 20 years][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_%28decade%29] or so, we have [[attracted]] many thousands of [[individuals]], and many thousands have left the fold for lack of interest or [[disappointment]] at the [[developments]] not being more rapid or more grand in [[manifestation]]. For us, this has been a very rapid [[development]], since the [[adjudication]]. Were you to live out the 100-year span from the [[adjudication]] into the [[future]], you would, at that point, look back and see incredible [[changes]] in your world, and in how the [[business]] of [[civilization]] is completed at that time. But for now, we are here in this [[moment]], developing some new strands that will [[strengthen]] the braid into a rope, into a [[hawser]] that will be very strong, to [[assist]] your nation and other nations to be drawn into the [[future]].
===='''''[[Infrastructure]]'''''====
*Development of infrastructure of organization
The [[Magisterial Mission]] has [[progressed]] to a sufficient [[time]] and [[development]] to now begin to develop an [[infrastructure]] of [[organization]]. You know and have seen that the [[Teaching Mission]] and [[Magisterial Mission]] are without an [[organizational]] [[infrastructure]]; there is not an [[organization]]; there is not an [[institution]]—[[legalized]] institution or one founded by members with or without [[legal]] [[sanction]]—there has simply been a loose affiliation of [[individuals]], who have come, some have stayed, many have returned to where they came from in their [[belief]] [[systems]].
We will now begin the [[process]] of [[developing]] an [[infrastructure]] of [[organization]] and begin to [[institutionalize]] it, meaning that an [[organization]] will have [[existence]] with a [[meaningful]] [[structure]] of [[individuals]] of [[authority]] and [[responsibilities]], and so on. This too, will not occur over night; it will occur very slowly, as some [[individuals]] are [[attracted]] to positions of [[authority]] and [[leadership]], [[thinking]] that they know the way into the [[future]]; others will come and leave—those who come for some [[personal]] [[agenda]] will [[eventually]] leave as well. This is a [[continuation]] of the [[winnowing]] [[process]].
===='''''[[Character]]'''''====
*Desirable [[Attributes|characteristics]] for participants
Just as [[prayer]] is most [[effective]] when it is done with [[sincerity]] and with [[intention]], and without any [[evidence]] of [[self-aggrandizement]] or return for the [[person]] who is doing the [[praying]], so too, those who are part of this [[organization]] and the [[institutionalization]] of this [[organization]], must [[participate]] with the same [[expectations]] as they would in [[prayer]], that they would be [[effective]] [[co-creative]] [[partners]] with [[spirit]], but without [[anticipation]] or [[expectation]] of [[personal]] return. You simply [[hope]], [[believe]], have [[faith]], [[trust]] and KNOW that you will be and are being taken care of. This is quite a leap for most [[mortals]] who have remained. It is a [[challenge]] for most [[individuals]]; however this recent [[economic]] [[Recession|turndown]] in your [[global economy]] has proven to many that their [[faith]]-[[relationship]] with the provisions of their life through [[spirit]] is intact, it is solid, it was [[continuous]] and without break. This is as we are [[designing]] this [[organizational]] [[infrastructure]] and its [[eventual]] [[institutionalization]].
We will not make any announcements about that, other than what I have [[shared]] today, though others in other [[organizations]] may call upon me to reveal additional [[information]], but this will not be a thoroughgoing divulging of the details of what is [[planned]]. Rather this will come about in [[time]] and [[effort]] and [[development]], appropriately and [[synchronistically]], when all [[events]] and all [[energies]] are [[coordinated]]. So, be patient, my [[friends]]. We are in great amazement and some of our junior members are in astonishment/astounded by the [[tenacity]] of your [[faith]] to remain with this [[movement]], this loosely formed [[movement]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] and [[Magisterial Mission]], where there are no rewards for you, no place of [[authority]], no [[agenda]], no tasks, nothing to do, no place to go, no one to join with—other than showing up for the regular [[Teaching Mission]] or [[Magisterial Missions]]’ sessions. Now, for the first time, you will begin to see the beginning [[evidence]] of [[structure]] and [[form]]. As you know, [[structure]] and [[form]] are very dangerous for the [[human]] [[psyche]], as you tend to want to pound a nail in it and hang your hat on it forever. This just cannot be. This for us is a [[compromise]] of great [[proportions]], but [[necessary]] to engage you in [[meaningful]] and [[visual]], [[tactile]] [[experiences]], [[working]] for the higher [[good]], through an [[organization]], with [[leadership]], [[plans]] and so on.
===='''''[[Work]]''''', '''''[[Sustainability]]'''''====
*Begin by working at the lowest levels, co-creatively
You must be aware that the [[intention]] is to [[develop]] [[sustainability]] of the [[human]] [[species]]’ social [[structure]] and [[organizations]], globally—that means that we wish to devise a [[sustainable]] [[civilization]] with you by [[working]] at the lowest local levels with you, to do so. Always [[remember]] that it is the [[individual]] who is the point of contact with the [[Thought Adjuster,]] with [[God]]. The [[individual]]—you—are the most important element of your [[civilization]], you and several billion others, are the [[collective]] but [[individual]] “you” that comes to know [[God]]. Your [[sustainability]] is sustaining you as [[individuals]], then extends to sustainable [[family]] [[structure]], [[communities]] and all these social [[institutions]] that are [[necessary]] to support a [[sustainable]] [[civilization]].
===='''''[[Transmitting]]''''', '''''[[Groups]]'''''====
*Need is great for [[good]] [[TR]]'s
Turning to another [[topic]], we are in need of good [[TRs]]—competent, capable, [[reliable]], [[humble]] TRs. Many of you have been in [[training]], many of you have come forward; many of you are now [[experiencing]] the [[presence]] within the [[mystic]] [[circle]] of [[meditation]], where your [[collective]] [[energies]] with other mystics in a circle, [[assists]] and [[supports]] the [[intention]] to have [[personal]] contact with the [[God]] [[presence]] within you, and with your [[Guardian Angel|guardian]], and with your [[mentors]] and others. Please know that you will be contacted by me, [[Machiventa]], one of the ''Liaison Team'', and you will be called forward to [[assist]]. Not everyone is called; it depends upon your [[maturity]], your [[emotional]] [[structure]] and your [[ego]] [[development]].
We have poked our finger in your chest a [[number]] of times about the [[foibles]] of [[human]] [[nature]], and so we are confronted with this as we engage and call forward [[individuals]] to become [[TRs]]. Those who are called will have the [[experience]] of hearing me, [[Machiventa]], or one of the [[Liaison Team]]—it could be [[Gabriel]] or Christ ''Michael'', himself, who calls you forward to be of this [[service]]. You may not feel that you are ready; you, in [[fact]], may not have had the [[training]] that you need to become an effective [[TR]] today or tomorrow, but if you are called, then you know from this calling that you have the [[capacity]] and capability and the [[resources]] to become an [[effective]], capable TR. This is [[essential]], my [[friends]]! We cannot [[continue]] to operate through only a handful of TRs; this becomes a [[liability]]. It is as though you were investing all of your [[financial]] [[assets]] in one bank, and if the bank goes [[Default|bankrupt]] or it is destroyed for some [[reason]], then all your assets are gone. It is simply [[necessary]] to continue to broaden the scope and depth and breadth of the [[TR]] cadre to bring the [[message]] through.
Not all of you will be carrying the [[message]] forward, as this one does, and a couple others as well. Your coming forward as [[TRs]] and your [[training]] is [[essential]] for the [[development]] of ongoing, [[functional]] working and productive and [[effective]] [[co-creative]] [[design]] teams. Your world simply is not going to [[mature]] and [[develop]] into a [[sustainable]] [[culture]], without competent and capable TRs who can [[function]] within a co-creative design team. You know, and we have told you numerous times, that the foibles of [[human]] [[nature]], the [[ego]]’s need for self embellishment, [[self-aggrandizement]], [[control]] and positions of [[authority]] and [[power]], and the acquisition of [[material]] [[wealth]], is offensive and does not work in these positions. So when you become a [[TR]], this has nothing to do with your empowerment in your [[society]], as an esteemed [[leader]] or [[authority]]. It is recognition of your [[capabilities]] and qualities to [[function]] within a co-creative design team. You will be cared for and [[supported]]; means will be there for you to live and exist and [[survive]] and grow [[spiritually]], but most of you most likely will not become millionaires in any sense of the [[word]].
*Position of group facilitator and mediator
For those of you who have [[dedicated]] your lives to this [[work]], but who are not [[TRs]], and do not have the capacity to become a TR, [[remember]] that there are very valuable positions within a co-creative design team, such as the [[facilitator]]. The facilitator is very important to facilitate the [[group]] [[process]], the [[group]] [[dynamics]] of the team, so that there is an even, working [[flow]] of [[information]], back and forth between team members, without becoming possessive of your position. The facilitator [[acts]] when they have to as a moderator, and in extreme cases as a mediator when [[individuals]] take and hold positions, rather than seeking a common interest of [[sustainability]] in the context of the subject you are working on. For those of you with [[skills]] of facilitation and mediation, you are called forward to [[assist]] in this [[process]]. Review the [[skills]] in your [[training]] materials on facilitation and mediation, which will [[assist]] you to assist the team in its fluid, social and working dynamics.
*Position of group recorder
Further, the other position that is needed is that of recorder. The recorder is a very important [[function]]. This position requires an [[individual]] with a very [[discerning]] [[mind]]; the capacity to discern the important [[topics]] of the [[discussion]], to record them, tract them, taking notes, so that they will make sense to you when you go back and transcribe your notes into succinct summaries of the [[Group|co-creative design team]]’s workings. We are not so much interested in verbatim recordings of the sessions, but rather a recording of the important [[topics]]. If you have team members who are [[didactic]] in position taking and recalling the [[words]] that they have spoken as points of [[authority]], then perhaps verbatim recordings are needed, but this would not indicate an even, fluid [[flow]] of the [[group]] [[process]], and these [[individuals]] may have to leave.
*Position of spiritual consultant
You, as a team, must [[discern]] and decide upon the [[boundaries]] of social [[etiquette]] and of team and [[group]] [[process]]. When one passes the bounds of social acceptability or your social boundaries, then that [[individual]] must be given a “time out,” as you would say. The position of the consultant is not there as one to [[discipline]] the [[group]] [[individually]], or as a group, but to [[assist]] the group in its working order, moving forward to effectively accomplish its product or [[service]], to bring the [[work]] of the group to meaningful, [[effective]] ends. The consultant will, however, on occasion, admonish the team if they are moving in a direction that is unproductive. This is simply helping the group to stay on task. The [[work]] of the consultant is [[different]] from the facilitator, as the facilitator helps the working order of group [[dynamics]] and group [[process]]. The spiritual consultant works to keep the team on task and moving in the right direction, so that it does not grind into the ground and come to nothing, and go into what you call “rabbit holes,” which are unproductive, asking questions which are of no [[Practical|pragmatic]] [[value]].
*Team members’ roles
There are others—the team members, who [[function]] and operate within the team, who are active, working members. Just because they do not have titles of facilitator or recorder does not mean that they are lesser than—certainly not! In many ways, they are greater than, simply because they have the [[freedom]] not to be tied to some [[function]] in the team, but rather are there to [[act]] as open minds, with an open mic, so that they can speak their [[truth]], and act as revelators within the team [[context]]. The hoped for [[development]] is that all team members would be in [[touch]] and in contact and conversant with their own [[Guardian Angels|guardians]] and [[Thought Adjusters]] and [[celestial]] [[teachers]]. This is, of course, an optimal situation. We do not expect that this will be the commonality of initial [[groups]], but those that [[develop]] over [[time]].
What members within the team must do is take time apart or aside to gather the [[information]] that they know [[intuitively]] is within them, so they might go for a drink of water, or go to relieve themselves, or go have a cookie, or take some kind of a walking break, and [[collect]] their [[thoughts]] and that of their [[celestial]] [[teacher]] or [[Guardian Angel|guardian]], who can give them [[insights]] and “ah-ha’s” about their [[participation]] and [[contribution]] to the team. I ask now, the members who are present here at this [[moment]], are there any points of clarification you would ask?
*Should members of team be like-minded or of diverse opinions?
Student: It seems like our country, at least, is becoming more and more [[polarized]] all the time. In forming these [[groups]], is it [[good]] to have people of both persuasions, or would we get more done if we were like-minded?
MONJORONSON: Yes, we would appreciate having an even [[balance]] between [[males]] and [[females]], if that is where you were talking about even persuasion. We do not need didactic or [[politically]] positioned [[individuals]] on the team, as that would not be productive. The concerns of the co-creative design team, far, far, far surpass the [[medium]] of [[politics]]. Your [[politics]] in this country, even the advanced [[thinkers]] in the respective parties, do not fully have a clue, or really have not become aware that social [[sustainability]] is on the map, or a visible [[topic]] for [[public]] [[discussion]]. Is this what you meant, Ma’am?
Student: Yes, in part. Besides the [[political]] [[polarity]], there is also polarity in just about any [[topic]] that people can possibly have an [[opinion]] on—they have a very strong opinion about—and it is really [[difficult]] to find people who are willing to listen to all sides. They want to [[force]] their own [[opinions]] on everyone else.
MONJORONSON: Yes, this will be part of the [[function]] of the [[spiritual]] consultant, to monitor this position-taking. The spiritual consultant will as well be [[responsible]] for the initial [[training]] of these groups. These [[materials]] are already available, and there are further materials that will become available to the teams. The interest is to bring [[integration]]. We have spoken before about the [[difficulties]] of separation and [[integration]]. [[Statements]] representing separation do not [[assist]] in the [[process]], but statements of finding points of [[integration]] are very helpful for this.
The [[topic]] of [[sustainability]] operates from the [[perspective]] that every one here will be with you in the [[future]], and there you simply cannot eliminate those who have [[different]] [[opinions]], but that the [[process]] of [[discussing]] the [[topics]] of sustainability and using the schematic for [[sustainability]], [[acts]] as a leveler of all positions. This is a concern, but it is of more concern for the spiritual consultant, than it is for the members of the team. It would be a concern of the facilitator as well. It will be [[necessary]] for [[individuals]] who come to the team, who [[volunteer]] to [[participate]], that if they find they cannot find [[integration]] or their points of contact are not contiguous with other members, then we ask them to leave the team.
Just as individuals self-select who will come to the team, who will [[volunteer]], there is also the [[necessity]] that [[individuals]] will responsibly deselect themselves from participating in the team, knowing that they cannot [[contribute]] [[meaningfully]] and constructively to the outcomes of the team. Remember, the [[identity]] of the co-creative design teams is not American, or Canadian, or South American, or European, or otherwise, who are dealing with the sustainable capacities of [[humanity]], of your [[human]] [[species]], as social beings in this world at this time. You are neither Republicans or Democrats, Socialists, Communists or Fascists; you are in the employment of Christ [[Michael]], and in the employ of Christ Michael, you work to [[assist]] in the ends that he is bringing about. And these, at this time, will become more and more clear. If you need [[clarification]], those clarifications will be rapidly and readily given to you, so that you do not miss the point.
*Discerning true workers from the faddists
Student: Since we’ve been working on trying to [[attain]] [[sustainability]] in many different situations, I see the [[word]] “sustainability” or “sustainable” being thrown all around, all over the whole [[society]], and knowing the propensity of this [[culture]], at least, to grab onto “buzz words,” and not worry so much about what they really mean, but people just wanting to seem like they are in the vanguard of whatever new [[movement]] is going on, I’m [[wondering]] if there is a [[relatively]] easy or safe way to know which people who are promoting [[sustainability]] are just climbing on the bandwagon, and which ones really do have sustainable [[ideas]] and at [[heart]], have the [[desire]] to help true sustainability come about?
MONJORONSON: This is an important concern of ours as well. We see the window of [[opportunity]] of sustainability as beginning to open to your [[society]]. It is beginning to be a more widely known [[word]], the [[concept]] of which many do not understand thoroughly. We will use this window of [[opportunity]] to attract as many people as we possibly can. It is basically marketing in the old fashioned way, that the wider the [[audience]], the more [[probability]] that you will attract those that will stay. The loss of 98% of those who were [[attracted]] would be acceptable to us. A 2% retention of those who are [[dedicated]], thoroughgoing and [[understanding]] of the [[work]] that is needed, would be appreciated. It is substantial to us to use those [[numbers]]. We know that your [[culture]] is a very faddist [[society]] that [[associates]] [[popularity]] and being in the [[flow]] and the ”[[know]],” with attachment to the current contemporary [[ideas]] that come into [[focus]] or into view of the larger society. This does not concern us at this time. We know the [[work]] that we are engaging in, and we [[understand]] its seriousness and the ends and the [[processes]] that it will go through to achieve. You can be sure, my [[friend]], that as your world becomes more and more [[difficult]] to live in, that the [[topic]] of [[sustainability]], particularly as it applies to the social [[structure]] of your [[societies]] and nations and [[communities]], will become more and more important.
There will be increasing [[clarity]] of social sustainability in the [[processes]] of designing socially sustainable [[institutions]], as the grinding of [[events]] in your world—geophysical, social, [[economic]] and [[political]]—grind your [[political]] and faddist ideas into talcum powder. (Laughter.) The grit will become grist for the mill and it will become finer and finer, so those [[individuals]] who want to have a quick fix will disappear, and those who have the tenacity and [[perseverance]] and tenacious [[character]] to hang in there, they will see much and reap rewards for their efforts.
*This is pioneering [[work]] for those with [[tenacity]]
Remember, this is a time of [[Exploring|pioneering]]. You who are here, and you who read these transcripts and listen to them, are truly those pioneers who so long ago—in the 1800’s—crossed along the [[Oregon Trail]], to cross the prairie and the mountains to end in the fertile valleys of the West and through the Western mountainous areas, where there was great reward for your tenaciousness. Many were lost along the way, to various [[problems]], and so it is with our [[work]] here; that pioneers are the ones who are resilient, [[flexible]], capable, and who have the [[capacity]] to bounce back and to stay on their feet. These are the [[individuals]] who will last. Many of you [[understand]] the [[metaphor]] of a cat being knocked off a fence or a table, or something like that, and they always land on their feet. So too, you [[survivors]] are going to land on your feet as [[events]] and [[difficulties]] come to you, and they do not affect you very much. (Thank you.) You are welcome; thank you for the question.
Student: How do you know if you have the ability to do [[TR]]ing? And whether that’s a [[possibility]]?
*Developing the skills to TR
MONJORONSON: Yes, I would be glad to answer your question. If you [[meditate]]; if you are able to meditate; if you are able to still your [[mind]], then this is the rudimentary beginnings of TRing. If you ask a question in your [[mind]] and you hear an answer, then you are in [[fact]], TRing [[silently]]. Many of you TR already; many of you “hear.” And some of you actually “see” as well. The matter of beginning to be a TR is a [[developmental]] [[process]]; it is a matter of [[practice]]; it is a matter of being socially unafraid, not being timid, having the [[experience]] to do it in [[public]]—whether that is one other [[person]] or 20 other people. It is a matter of [[skill]] [[development]]. If you have the rudiments of this, then you can be a TR.
Many of you will not become fluent TRs and able to set your mind “aside,” so to speak, to allow me to speak through you, as occurs with this one. However, you will be an incredibly valuable member of a co-creative design team, because you, as you [[participate]] in the team [[process]], you are “hearing” the advisement of your [[celestial]] [[teacher]], or your guardian, or some guide, or some other [[spiritual]] [[being]], who is there to [[assist]] you, to make a [[contribution]] to the team [[process]]. This is as [[essential]] as the fluent TR in the team.
*Using TR skills as a team member
I hope you [[appreciate]] this; there is no grandstanding, there is no microphone holding or [[possession]] by the [[TR]]. This is simply a position that facilitates the [[work]] of the team. Many times the TR of the team will be “on hold,” so to speak, not participating in the team, and not TRing either. So they are “off line,” so to speak. You, however, as a team member who TRs can be of immense, [[dynamic]] [[contribution]] to the team process and what it accomplishes. So do not be dismayed that you do not become fluent verbally or aloud, but that you are pleased with the [[fact]] that you do [[TR]], with your guide, your guardian, your teacher, with your [[Thought Adjuster]], as this will facilitate your [[spiritual]] and [[emotional]] [[growth]], throughout the duration of your lifetime. The [[contributions]] for learning to [[TR]] are many—many, many, many! The rewards and benefits begin to be arithmetic and even [[exponential]], as you get older, with more and more [[experience]]. Does this answer your question?
Student: Yes, thank you.
Student: Monjoronson, there are a lot of [[readers]] of your transcripts that are excited about the co-creative design team process, and would like to be involved in this, but lack a TR in their region. Is there some way they can work together and achieve sustainability without having a TR available?
*Forming effective co-creative teams [[technologically]], over great distances
MONJORONSON: Yes, you could do this through a conference call or through a video [[Internet]] [[process]], which would be a [[compromise]], but nonetheless it can assist you to move ahead. It is helpful if you have a video/Internet connection, where you can see 5, 6, or 8 people in separate little video squares on your computer monitor, and participate that way. This would be an easier process than having 5, 6 or 8 people on the telephone conference line, as you do not have the visible cues, where one person steps aside, so to speak, and allows others to have the microphone and speak. This is a way of moving ahead; we have held out as long as possible for one-on-one [[personal]] co-creative design teams, but we recognize and realize that there are optimal teams available, at great distances, through the [[technologies]] that are available to you. You are [[welcome]] to move ahead through this. We would [[appreciate]] it if you would take notes among those team members who gather together, so that this [[process]] can [[develop]] [[experience]], [[reflection]] and [[wisdom]], about how other teams can [[form]] and [[function]] this same way, so that they can come on line or be productive more quickly and more easily. The [[challenges]] are many, but can be overcome if there is a [[desire]] and willingness on the part of [[individuals]] to [[participate]] this way.
There are many non-verbal cues that you will miss through these two [[mechanisms]] of team building, where it is easier for an [[individual]] to become more dominant or domineering, and cajoling perhaps, to gain positions of [[authority]], and of course you know as well as I do that when this appears the team [[environment]] is vulnerable to collapse and disintegration. It will require a great finesse and [[personal]] [[presence]] of [[humility]] and caring to empower the team, without [[self-aggrandizement]] or power-taking. Positions of [[authority]] are very legitimate, as there is a need for someone to [[form]] and [[organize]] the team. Someone will need to step forward as a facilitator, another as a recorder, another as a TR, and others as members. All of you will need to [[remember]] and to be in [[conscious]] [[presence]] to be [[self-evaluating]], so that you monitor the [[conscious]] [[environment]], so to speak, of the team, so that it works well. Remember, in this team setting, there is no one who is going to finger-wag you, or chastise you, or belittle you, or [[shame]] you into becoming more effective team members. You simply will have to learn these things among yourselves. This will be most [[challenging]], but it is not beyond the capacity of even moderately sensitive and attentive participants.
===='''''[[History]]'''''====
*[[Study]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED councils of the Caligastia 100]
You can [[anticipate]] that there will be these [[developments]], beginning now and becoming much more [[visible]] within the next year to two years. It is important that there be more and more [[structure]] in place as more and more of the “glue that holds your [[societies]] and [[communities]] [[together]]” begins to dissolve. We must [[develop]] teams that begin to be productive. I would advise you to recall the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED councils that were formed through the Caligastia 100], when the [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] was here; there were councils of those 100, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED The Urantia Book, Paper 66, sec. 5]], who [[participated]] in the ten different councils: one for agriculture, one for commerce, education, and so on. You will want to specialize in your teams, so that you can [[contribute]]. Yes, there is a need for experts in these various fields, to be on these teams. It is also [[necessary]] to have those who know little about this, but who are broad-[[thinking]] [[individuals]]. How you go about organizing these councils is up to you. It would seem apparent that there would be a need to have a posting for the teams and then volunteers who wish to [[participate]] in each team that they are interested in, to sign up and to begin the team process.
*Progress will be seen over next 6 months to two years
Now, I have given you quite a bit of homework to attend to. Do not be [[surprised]] if this first initial phase easily takes 6 months, but you will begin to get the handle of it and able to become productive. As I say, someone in each team should keep notes, even the [[person]] who [[organizes]] the posting site on the [[Internet]] for the 10 different councils or teams, will need to take notes of what they did, how it works, why it works, and why parts of it didn’t [[work]], so that this can be replicated in each [[language]] base, throughout the world. Do not be surprised if you have ten councils for each [[language]] [[group]]. This is very possible and [[eventually]], wouldn’t it be a lot of fun for all of you to get together to share what you know, whether you were German, French, Spanish, English, Korean, Russian, Chinese, Farsi, or some other language group.
===Closing===
We thank you for this time today, and now I say, “Move ahead, my friends.” Good day.
Group: Thank you Monjoronson!

The [[progress]] of Christ [[Michael]]’s [[Correcting Time]] continues ahead. For us the [[events]] have been rapidly [[developing]] so that they seem to be almost [[continuous]]. However to you, it may seem as though this is moving ahead at a snail’s pace. Just know that there is [[progress]]; it is [[developmental]], it is [[guided]], it is done with [[intention]], and with known outcomes in the [[eventuality]] of [[time]]. Christ Michael’s completion of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_119#119:7._THE_SEVENTH_AND_FINAL_BESTOWAL 7th bestowal] and his [[assumption]] of [[Master Son|Sovereignty]] of [[Nebadon]] marked a very significant turnabout for the years of [[quarantine]] for this world and the other worlds. As we have said, there was a good deal of [[planning]] and [[development]] that has taken place since then. The [[actual]] implementation of [[contingency]] [[plans]] that would not be put into place until the [[adjudication]] was complete, which occurred in the very [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990's latter years of the second millennium] of this world. The closure of that [[millennium]] begins a new millennium, and much has changed and much has [[developed]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade) last ten years] of the [[Correcting Time]].
You are acquainted with the [[Teaching Mission]] as it began, almost [[simultaneously]] with the completion of the [[adjudication]] [[process]], and now the [[Magisterial Mission]] has come on board as well. Throughout all of this, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990%27s last 20 years][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_%28decade%29] or so, we have [[attracted]] many thousands of [[individuals]], and many thousands have left the fold for lack of interest or [[disappointment]] at the [[developments]] not being more rapid or more grand in [[manifestation]]. For us, this has been a very rapid [[development]], since the [[adjudication]]. Were you to live out the 100-year span from the [[adjudication]] into the [[future]], you would, at that point, look back and see incredible [[changes]] in your world, and in how the [[business]] of [[civilization]] is completed at that time. But for now, we are here in this [[moment]], developing some new strands that will [[strengthen]] the braid into a rope, into a [[hawser]] that will be very strong, to [[assist]] your nation and other nations to be drawn into the [[future]].
===='''''[[Infrastructure]]'''''====
*Development of infrastructure of organization
The [[Magisterial Mission]] has [[progressed]] to a sufficient [[time]] and [[development]] to now begin to develop an [[infrastructure]] of [[organization]]. You know and have seen that the [[Teaching Mission]] and [[Magisterial Mission]] are without an [[organizational]] [[infrastructure]]; there is not an [[organization]]; there is not an [[institution]]—[[legalized]] institution or one founded by members with or without [[legal]] [[sanction]]—there has simply been a loose affiliation of [[individuals]], who have come, some have stayed, many have returned to where they came from in their [[belief]] [[systems]].
We will now begin the [[process]] of [[developing]] an [[infrastructure]] of [[organization]] and begin to [[institutionalize]] it, meaning that an [[organization]] will have [[existence]] with a [[meaningful]] [[structure]] of [[individuals]] of [[authority]] and [[responsibilities]], and so on. This too, will not occur over night; it will occur very slowly, as some [[individuals]] are [[attracted]] to positions of [[authority]] and [[leadership]], [[thinking]] that they know the way into the [[future]]; others will come and leave—those who come for some [[personal]] [[agenda]] will [[eventually]] leave as well. This is a [[continuation]] of the [[winnowing]] [[process]].
===='''''[[Character]]'''''====
*Desirable [[Attributes|characteristics]] for participants
Just as [[prayer]] is most [[effective]] when it is done with [[sincerity]] and with [[intention]], and without any [[evidence]] of [[self-aggrandizement]] or return for the [[person]] who is doing the [[praying]], so too, those who are part of this [[organization]] and the [[institutionalization]] of this [[organization]], must [[participate]] with the same [[expectations]] as they would in [[prayer]], that they would be [[effective]] [[co-creative]] [[partners]] with [[spirit]], but without [[anticipation]] or [[expectation]] of [[personal]] return. You simply [[hope]], [[believe]], have [[faith]], [[trust]] and KNOW that you will be and are being taken care of. This is quite a leap for most [[mortals]] who have remained. It is a [[challenge]] for most [[individuals]]; however this recent [[economic]] [[Recession|turndown]] in your [[global economy]] has proven to many that their [[faith]]-[[relationship]] with the provisions of their life through [[spirit]] is intact, it is solid, it was [[continuous]] and without break. This is as we are [[designing]] this [[organizational]] [[infrastructure]] and its [[eventual]] [[institutionalization]].
We will not make any announcements about that, other than what I have [[shared]] today, though others in other [[organizations]] may call upon me to reveal additional [[information]], but this will not be a thoroughgoing divulging of the details of what is [[planned]]. Rather this will come about in [[time]] and [[effort]] and [[development]], appropriately and [[synchronistically]], when all [[events]] and all [[energies]] are [[coordinated]]. So, be patient, my [[friends]]. We are in great amazement and some of our junior members are in astonishment/astounded by the [[tenacity]] of your [[faith]] to remain with this [[movement]], this loosely formed [[movement]] of the [[Teaching Mission]] and [[Magisterial Mission]], where there are no rewards for you, no place of [[authority]], no [[agenda]], no tasks, nothing to do, no place to go, no one to join with—other than showing up for the regular [[Teaching Mission]] or [[Magisterial Missions]]’ sessions. Now, for the first time, you will begin to see the beginning [[evidence]] of [[structure]] and [[form]]. As you know, [[structure]] and [[form]] are very dangerous for the [[human]] [[psyche]], as you tend to want to pound a nail in it and hang your hat on it forever. This just cannot be. This for us is a [[compromise]] of great [[proportions]], but [[necessary]] to engage you in [[meaningful]] and [[visual]], [[tactile]] [[experiences]], [[working]] for the higher [[good]], through an [[organization]], with [[leadership]], [[plans]] and so on.
===='''''[[Work]]''''', '''''[[Sustainability]]'''''====
*Begin by working at the lowest levels, co-creatively
You must be aware that the [[intention]] is to [[develop]] [[sustainability]] of the [[human]] [[species]]’ social [[structure]] and [[organizations]], globally—that means that we wish to devise a [[sustainable]] [[civilization]] with you by [[working]] at the lowest local levels with you, to do so. Always [[remember]] that it is the [[individual]] who is the point of contact with the [[Thought Adjuster,]] with [[God]]. The [[individual]]—you—are the most important element of your [[civilization]], you and several billion others, are the [[collective]] but [[individual]] “you” that comes to know [[God]]. Your [[sustainability]] is sustaining you as [[individuals]], then extends to sustainable [[family]] [[structure]], [[communities]] and all these social [[institutions]] that are [[necessary]] to support a [[sustainable]] [[civilization]].
===='''''[[Transmitting]]''''', '''''[[Groups]]'''''====
*Need is great for [[good]] [[TR]]'s
Turning to another [[topic]], we are in need of good [[TRs]]—competent, capable, [[reliable]], [[humble]] TRs. Many of you have been in [[training]], many of you have come forward; many of you are now [[experiencing]] the [[presence]] within the [[mystic]] [[circle]] of [[meditation]], where your [[collective]] [[energies]] with other mystics in a circle, [[assists]] and [[supports]] the [[intention]] to have [[personal]] contact with the [[God]] [[presence]] within you, and with your [[Guardian Angel|guardian]], and with your [[mentors]] and others. Please know that you will be contacted by me, [[Machiventa]], one of the ''Liaison Team'', and you will be called forward to [[assist]]. Not everyone is called; it depends upon your [[maturity]], your [[emotional]] [[structure]] and your [[ego]] [[development]].
We have poked our finger in your chest a [[number]] of times about the [[foibles]] of [[human]] [[nature]], and so we are confronted with this as we engage and call forward [[individuals]] to become [[TRs]]. Those who are called will have the [[experience]] of hearing me, [[Machiventa]], or one of the [[Liaison Team]]—it could be [[Gabriel]] or Christ ''Michael'', himself, who calls you forward to be of this [[service]]. You may not feel that you are ready; you, in [[fact]], may not have had the [[training]] that you need to become an effective [[TR]] today or tomorrow, but if you are called, then you know from this calling that you have the [[capacity]] and capability and the [[resources]] to become an [[effective]], capable TR. This is [[essential]], my [[friends]]! We cannot [[continue]] to operate through only a handful of TRs; this becomes a [[liability]]. It is as though you were investing all of your [[financial]] [[assets]] in one bank, and if the bank goes [[Default|bankrupt]] or it is destroyed for some [[reason]], then all your assets are gone. It is simply [[necessary]] to continue to broaden the scope and depth and breadth of the [[TR]] cadre to bring the [[message]] through.
Not all of you will be carrying the [[message]] forward, as this one does, and a couple others as well. Your coming forward as [[TRs]] and your [[training]] is [[essential]] for the [[development]] of ongoing, [[functional]] working and productive and [[effective]] [[co-creative]] [[design]] teams. Your world simply is not going to [[mature]] and [[develop]] into a [[sustainable]] [[culture]], without competent and capable TRs who can [[function]] within a co-creative design team. You know, and we have told you numerous times, that the foibles of [[human]] [[nature]], the [[ego]]’s need for self embellishment, [[self-aggrandizement]], [[control]] and positions of [[authority]] and [[power]], and the acquisition of [[material]] [[wealth]], is offensive and does not work in these positions. So when you become a [[TR]], this has nothing to do with your empowerment in your [[society]], as an esteemed [[leader]] or [[authority]]. It is recognition of your [[capabilities]] and qualities to [[function]] within a co-creative design team. You will be cared for and [[supported]]; means will be there for you to live and exist and [[survive]] and grow [[spiritually]], but most of you most likely will not become millionaires in any sense of the [[word]].
*Position of group facilitator and mediator
For those of you who have [[dedicated]] your lives to this [[work]], but who are not [[TRs]], and do not have the capacity to become a TR, [[remember]] that there are very valuable positions within a co-creative design team, such as the [[facilitator]]. The facilitator is very important to facilitate the [[group]] [[process]], the [[group]] [[dynamics]] of the team, so that there is an even, working [[flow]] of [[information]], back and forth between team members, without becoming possessive of your position. The facilitator [[acts]] when they have to as a moderator, and in extreme cases as a mediator when [[individuals]] take and hold positions, rather than seeking a common interest of [[sustainability]] in the context of the subject you are working on. For those of you with [[skills]] of facilitation and mediation, you are called forward to [[assist]] in this [[process]]. Review the [[skills]] in your [[training]] materials on facilitation and mediation, which will [[assist]] you to assist the team in its fluid, social and working dynamics.
*Position of group recorder
Further, the other position that is needed is that of recorder. The recorder is a very important [[function]]. This position requires an [[individual]] with a very [[discerning]] [[mind]]; the capacity to discern the important [[topics]] of the [[discussion]], to record them, tract them, taking notes, so that they will make sense to you when you go back and transcribe your notes into succinct summaries of the [[Group|co-creative design team]]’s workings. We are not so much interested in verbatim recordings of the sessions, but rather a recording of the important [[topics]]. If you have team members who are [[didactic]] in position taking and recalling the [[words]] that they have spoken as points of [[authority]], then perhaps verbatim recordings are needed, but this would not indicate an even, fluid [[flow]] of the [[group]] [[process]], and these [[individuals]] may have to leave.
*Position of spiritual consultant
You, as a team, must [[discern]] and decide upon the [[boundaries]] of social [[etiquette]] and of team and [[group]] [[process]]. When one passes the bounds of social acceptability or your social boundaries, then that [[individual]] must be given a “time out,” as you would say. The position of the consultant is not there as one to [[discipline]] the [[group]] [[individually]], or as a group, but to [[assist]] the group in its working order, moving forward to effectively accomplish its product or [[service]], to bring the [[work]] of the group to meaningful, [[effective]] ends. The consultant will, however, on occasion, admonish the team if they are moving in a direction that is unproductive. This is simply helping the group to stay on task. The [[work]] of the consultant is [[different]] from the facilitator, as the facilitator helps the working order of group [[dynamics]] and group [[process]]. The spiritual consultant works to keep the team on task and moving in the right direction, so that it does not grind into the ground and come to nothing, and go into what you call “rabbit holes,” which are unproductive, asking questions which are of no [[Practical|pragmatic]] [[value]].
*Team members’ roles
There are others—the team members, who [[function]] and operate within the team, who are active, working members. Just because they do not have titles of facilitator or recorder does not mean that they are lesser than—certainly not! In many ways, they are greater than, simply because they have the [[freedom]] not to be tied to some [[function]] in the team, but rather are there to [[act]] as open minds, with an open mic, so that they can speak their [[truth]], and act as revelators within the team [[context]]. The hoped for [[development]] is that all team members would be in [[touch]] and in contact and conversant with their own [[Guardian Angels|guardians]] and [[Thought Adjusters]] and [[celestial]] [[teachers]]. This is, of course, an optimal situation. We do not expect that this will be the commonality of initial [[groups]], but those that [[develop]] over [[time]].
What members within the team must do is take time apart or aside to gather the [[information]] that they know [[intuitively]] is within them, so they might go for a drink of water, or go to relieve themselves, or go have a cookie, or take some kind of a walking break, and [[collect]] their [[thoughts]] and that of their [[celestial]] [[teacher]] or [[Guardian Angel|guardian]], who can give them [[insights]] and “ah-ha’s” about their [[participation]] and [[contribution]] to the team. I ask now, the members who are present here at this [[moment]], are there any points of clarification you would ask?
*Should members of team be like-minded or of diverse opinions?
Student: It seems like our country, at least, is becoming more and more [[polarized]] all the time. In forming these [[groups]], is it [[good]] to have people of both persuasions, or would we get more done if we were like-minded?
MONJORONSON: Yes, we would appreciate having an even [[balance]] between [[males]] and [[females]], if that is where you were talking about even persuasion. We do not need didactic or [[politically]] positioned [[individuals]] on the team, as that would not be productive. The concerns of the co-creative design team, far, far, far surpass the [[medium]] of [[politics]]. Your [[politics]] in this country, even the advanced [[thinkers]] in the respective parties, do not fully have a clue, or really have not become aware that social [[sustainability]] is on the map, or a visible [[topic]] for [[public]] [[discussion]]. Is this what you meant, Ma’am?
Student: Yes, in part. Besides the [[political]] [[polarity]], there is also polarity in just about any [[topic]] that people can possibly have an [[opinion]] on—they have a very strong opinion about—and it is really [[difficult]] to find people who are willing to listen to all sides. They want to [[force]] their own [[opinions]] on everyone else.
MONJORONSON: Yes, this will be part of the [[function]] of the [[spiritual]] consultant, to monitor this position-taking. The spiritual consultant will as well be [[responsible]] for the initial [[training]] of these groups. These [[materials]] are already available, and there are further materials that will become available to the teams. The interest is to bring [[integration]]. We have spoken before about the [[difficulties]] of separation and [[integration]]. [[Statements]] representing separation do not [[assist]] in the [[process]], but statements of finding points of [[integration]] are very helpful for this.
The [[topic]] of [[sustainability]] operates from the [[perspective]] that every one here will be with you in the [[future]], and there you simply cannot eliminate those who have [[different]] [[opinions]], but that the [[process]] of [[discussing]] the [[topics]] of sustainability and using the schematic for [[sustainability]], [[acts]] as a leveler of all positions. This is a concern, but it is of more concern for the spiritual consultant, than it is for the members of the team. It would be a concern of the facilitator as well. It will be [[necessary]] for [[individuals]] who come to the team, who [[volunteer]] to [[participate]], that if they find they cannot find [[integration]] or their points of contact are not contiguous with other members, then we ask them to leave the team.
Just as individuals self-select who will come to the team, who will [[volunteer]], there is also the [[necessity]] that [[individuals]] will responsibly deselect themselves from participating in the team, knowing that they cannot [[contribute]] [[meaningfully]] and constructively to the outcomes of the team. Remember, the [[identity]] of the co-creative design teams is not American, or Canadian, or South American, or European, or otherwise, who are dealing with the sustainable capacities of [[humanity]], of your [[human]] [[species]], as social beings in this world at this time. You are neither Republicans or Democrats, Socialists, Communists or Fascists; you are in the employment of Christ [[Michael]], and in the employ of Christ Michael, you work to [[assist]] in the ends that he is bringing about. And these, at this time, will become more and more clear. If you need [[clarification]], those clarifications will be rapidly and readily given to you, so that you do not miss the point.
*Discerning true workers from the faddists
Student: Since we’ve been working on trying to [[attain]] [[sustainability]] in many different situations, I see the [[word]] “sustainability” or “sustainable” being thrown all around, all over the whole [[society]], and knowing the propensity of this [[culture]], at least, to grab onto “buzz words,” and not worry so much about what they really mean, but people just wanting to seem like they are in the vanguard of whatever new [[movement]] is going on, I’m [[wondering]] if there is a [[relatively]] easy or safe way to know which people who are promoting [[sustainability]] are just climbing on the bandwagon, and which ones really do have sustainable [[ideas]] and at [[heart]], have the [[desire]] to help true sustainability come about?
MONJORONSON: This is an important concern of ours as well. We see the window of [[opportunity]] of sustainability as beginning to open to your [[society]]. It is beginning to be a more widely known [[word]], the [[concept]] of which many do not understand thoroughly. We will use this window of [[opportunity]] to attract as many people as we possibly can. It is basically marketing in the old fashioned way, that the wider the [[audience]], the more [[probability]] that you will attract those that will stay. The loss of 98% of those who were [[attracted]] would be acceptable to us. A 2% retention of those who are [[dedicated]], thoroughgoing and [[understanding]] of the [[work]] that is needed, would be appreciated. It is substantial to us to use those [[numbers]]. We know that your [[culture]] is a very faddist [[society]] that [[associates]] [[popularity]] and being in the [[flow]] and the ”[[know]],” with attachment to the current contemporary [[ideas]] that come into [[focus]] or into view of the larger society. This does not concern us at this time. We know the [[work]] that we are engaging in, and we [[understand]] its seriousness and the ends and the [[processes]] that it will go through to achieve. You can be sure, my [[friend]], that as your world becomes more and more [[difficult]] to live in, that the [[topic]] of [[sustainability]], particularly as it applies to the social [[structure]] of your [[societies]] and nations and [[communities]], will become more and more important.
There will be increasing [[clarity]] of social sustainability in the [[processes]] of designing socially sustainable [[institutions]], as the grinding of [[events]] in your world—geophysical, social, [[economic]] and [[political]]—grind your [[political]] and faddist ideas into talcum powder. (Laughter.) The grit will become grist for the mill and it will become finer and finer, so those [[individuals]] who want to have a quick fix will disappear, and those who have the tenacity and [[perseverance]] and tenacious [[character]] to hang in there, they will see much and reap rewards for their efforts.
*This is pioneering [[work]] for those with [[tenacity]]
Remember, this is a time of [[Exploring|pioneering]]. You who are here, and you who read these transcripts and listen to them, are truly those pioneers who so long ago—in the 1800’s—crossed along the [[Oregon Trail]], to cross the prairie and the mountains to end in the fertile valleys of the West and through the Western mountainous areas, where there was great reward for your tenaciousness. Many were lost along the way, to various [[problems]], and so it is with our [[work]] here; that pioneers are the ones who are resilient, [[flexible]], capable, and who have the [[capacity]] to bounce back and to stay on their feet. These are the [[individuals]] who will last. Many of you [[understand]] the [[metaphor]] of a cat being knocked off a fence or a table, or something like that, and they always land on their feet. So too, you [[survivors]] are going to land on your feet as [[events]] and [[difficulties]] come to you, and they do not affect you very much. (Thank you.) You are welcome; thank you for the question.
Student: How do you know if you have the ability to do [[TR]]ing? And whether that’s a [[possibility]]?
*Developing the skills to TR
MONJORONSON: Yes, I would be glad to answer your question. If you [[meditate]]; if you are able to meditate; if you are able to still your [[mind]], then this is the rudimentary beginnings of TRing. If you ask a question in your [[mind]] and you hear an answer, then you are in [[fact]], TRing [[silently]]. Many of you TR already; many of you “hear.” And some of you actually “see” as well. The matter of beginning to be a TR is a [[developmental]] [[process]]; it is a matter of [[practice]]; it is a matter of being socially unafraid, not being timid, having the [[experience]] to do it in [[public]]—whether that is one other [[person]] or 20 other people. It is a matter of [[skill]] [[development]]. If you have the rudiments of this, then you can be a TR.
Many of you will not become fluent TRs and able to set your mind “aside,” so to speak, to allow me to speak through you, as occurs with this one. However, you will be an incredibly valuable member of a co-creative design team, because you, as you [[participate]] in the team [[process]], you are “hearing” the advisement of your [[celestial]] [[teacher]], or your guardian, or some guide, or some other [[spiritual]] [[being]], who is there to [[assist]] you, to make a [[contribution]] to the team [[process]]. This is as [[essential]] as the fluent TR in the team.
*Using TR skills as a team member
I hope you [[appreciate]] this; there is no grandstanding, there is no microphone holding or [[possession]] by the [[TR]]. This is simply a position that facilitates the [[work]] of the team. Many times the TR of the team will be “on hold,” so to speak, not participating in the team, and not TRing either. So they are “off line,” so to speak. You, however, as a team member who TRs can be of immense, [[dynamic]] [[contribution]] to the team process and what it accomplishes. So do not be dismayed that you do not become fluent verbally or aloud, but that you are pleased with the [[fact]] that you do [[TR]], with your guide, your guardian, your teacher, with your [[Thought Adjuster]], as this will facilitate your [[spiritual]] and [[emotional]] [[growth]], throughout the duration of your lifetime. The [[contributions]] for learning to [[TR]] are many—many, many, many! The rewards and benefits begin to be arithmetic and even [[exponential]], as you get older, with more and more [[experience]]. Does this answer your question?
Student: Yes, thank you.
Student: Monjoronson, there are a lot of [[readers]] of your transcripts that are excited about the co-creative design team process, and would like to be involved in this, but lack a TR in their region. Is there some way they can work together and achieve sustainability without having a TR available?
*Forming effective co-creative teams [[technologically]], over great distances
MONJORONSON: Yes, you could do this through a conference call or through a video [[Internet]] [[process]], which would be a [[compromise]], but nonetheless it can assist you to move ahead. It is helpful if you have a video/Internet connection, where you can see 5, 6, or 8 people in separate little video squares on your computer monitor, and participate that way. This would be an easier process than having 5, 6 or 8 people on the telephone conference line, as you do not have the visible cues, where one person steps aside, so to speak, and allows others to have the microphone and speak. This is a way of moving ahead; we have held out as long as possible for one-on-one [[personal]] co-creative design teams, but we recognize and realize that there are optimal teams available, at great distances, through the [[technologies]] that are available to you. You are [[welcome]] to move ahead through this. We would [[appreciate]] it if you would take notes among those team members who gather together, so that this [[process]] can [[develop]] [[experience]], [[reflection]] and [[wisdom]], about how other teams can [[form]] and [[function]] this same way, so that they can come on line or be productive more quickly and more easily. The [[challenges]] are many, but can be overcome if there is a [[desire]] and willingness on the part of [[individuals]] to [[participate]] this way.
There are many non-verbal cues that you will miss through these two [[mechanisms]] of team building, where it is easier for an [[individual]] to become more dominant or domineering, and cajoling perhaps, to gain positions of [[authority]], and of course you know as well as I do that when this appears the team [[environment]] is vulnerable to collapse and disintegration. It will require a great finesse and [[personal]] [[presence]] of [[humility]] and caring to empower the team, without [[self-aggrandizement]] or power-taking. Positions of [[authority]] are very legitimate, as there is a need for someone to [[form]] and [[organize]] the team. Someone will need to step forward as a facilitator, another as a recorder, another as a TR, and others as members. All of you will need to [[remember]] and to be in [[conscious]] [[presence]] to be [[self-evaluating]], so that you monitor the [[conscious]] [[environment]], so to speak, of the team, so that it works well. Remember, in this team setting, there is no one who is going to finger-wag you, or chastise you, or belittle you, or [[shame]] you into becoming more effective team members. You simply will have to learn these things among yourselves. This will be most [[challenging]], but it is not beyond the capacity of even moderately sensitive and attentive participants.
===='''''[[History]]'''''====
*[[Study]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED councils of the Caligastia 100]
You can [[anticipate]] that there will be these [[developments]], beginning now and becoming much more [[visible]] within the next year to two years. It is important that there be more and more [[structure]] in place as more and more of the “glue that holds your [[societies]] and [[communities]] [[together]]” begins to dissolve. We must [[develop]] teams that begin to be productive. I would advise you to recall the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED councils that were formed through the Caligastia 100], when the [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] was here; there were councils of those 100, [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED The Urantia Book, Paper 66, sec. 5]], who [[participated]] in the ten different councils: one for agriculture, one for commerce, education, and so on. You will want to specialize in your teams, so that you can [[contribute]]. Yes, there is a need for experts in these various fields, to be on these teams. It is also [[necessary]] to have those who know little about this, but who are broad-[[thinking]] [[individuals]]. How you go about organizing these councils is up to you. It would seem apparent that there would be a need to have a posting for the teams and then volunteers who wish to [[participate]] in each team that they are interested in, to sign up and to begin the team process.
*Progress will be seen over next 6 months to two years
Now, I have given you quite a bit of homework to attend to. Do not be [[surprised]] if this first initial phase easily takes 6 months, but you will begin to get the handle of it and able to become productive. As I say, someone in each team should keep notes, even the [[person]] who [[organizes]] the posting site on the [[Internet]] for the 10 different councils or teams, will need to take notes of what they did, how it works, why it works, and why parts of it didn’t [[work]], so that this can be replicated in each [[language]] base, throughout the world. Do not be surprised if you have ten councils for each [[language]] [[group]]. This is very possible and [[eventually]], wouldn’t it be a lot of fun for all of you to get together to share what you know, whether you were German, French, Spanish, English, Korean, Russian, Chinese, Farsi, or some other language group.
===Closing===
We thank you for this time today, and now I say, “Move ahead, my friends.” Good day.
Group: Thank you Monjoronson!
