MONJORONSON:  You will be looking first at common interest.  When you look at position-taking, then you are going in the wrong direction immediately.  If you look at common interest and common vision, collective vision, those two factors will lead you into the future and you will devise your organizational systems, as you need to.  You, in fact, do not need political parties to elect competent individuals to office.  That is simply an old archaic method devised from arm wrestling, for instance, or from jousting, or from ring-tossing, as has been done in centuries and millennia before.  You see that this is an archaic process of selection.  It is very much like the old “tug-of-war,” where you have an incredibly strong rope with hundreds of people on each side, pulling in opposite directions, pulling in their direction, and so you pull people over to your side.  This is majority-making in its most primitive form, but you have only organized that in a much more civilized fashion.  Yet, for an emerging and maturing civilization and nation—or even community—this process of majority-making is very archaic.  It is far more interesting, but more challenging, to have a verbal jousting of meaningful topics that candidates—whether it is one person or a dozen people—that this is a process of, not debate, but of presentation of argument from one person’s position, and then finally honing the numbers down as those less capable fall out of this competition, and the most competent individual can lead their community forward.  This is simply just one example of many that could be drawn.  We are trying to help you rework the old molds of your thinking, so that you think in different ways for leading your communities, states and nation forward.

*What is missing is a focusing element

*What is missing is a focusing element

Let me add, what is missing for most all of your social processes and institutions and organizations is a focusing element.  Your focusing element heretofore in centuries past has been survival.  Then once survival has been achieved you want to exist past the immediate day into the future and next year, and so forth, so that you can leave your progeny able to survive and exist.  Of recent decades, it has become the profit-motive for your nation; everything seems to be focused on money, focused on the bottom line, focused on profitability.  However, this is far too narrow a perspective and it helps those few people who are capable in this realm, and the vast majority is left behind.  In the future, you must take a much more egalitarian perspective on the issues you discuss.  We have offered you the discussion point, the focusing point, of social sustainability.  This will become a much more profitable focus for all social processes in the future.  This will provide a far more rational means for discussing how to lead a nation or a small community forward, and the commonality will be sustainability, not just existing from year-to-year, or a generation.  Societies must provide a learning process whereby a generation’s quality of life is improved from one generation to another.  This will be of great benefit to everyone.  The truths that you discover in a local, small town sustainability design team—let’s say in a small town in Missouri—would have the same applicability to a small town in Birmingham, England, or in Mumbai, or in Johannesburg.  The universalities of human beings are known, but they have not been used for political or social purposes for discussion [or] improvement of your societies.  It is time to do this.

We are using the events that are forthcoming in the world, the great difficulties that you will have as, not of a lesson, but as an opportunity for you to learn from.  Again, when these calamities come to your world, and they are already present, these were not brought to you by God.  They are simply outcomes and developments of a world that has too many people in it, that has difficulties supplying the necessities of life and survival.  Only those who understand the principles of sustainability will survive, and this will come to the attention of billions of people as they face the awesome fact of their survival at that time.
