MONJORONSON:  Yes, I would be glad to.  First, we continue to maintain our presence and energetic connections with those of the Teaching Mission, Magisterial Mission and others who may not be affiliated, but who are interested in the topics that we discuss.  We may withdraw from providing discourse about topics and subjects at this time, but we are still open to questions and we will continue to be a presence in the individual lives of those who wish to, or who are considering to move forward with devising their own design teams.

Secondly, we have begun quite some time ago in developing affiliations or points of ignition—or points of initiation—in many organizations, which could be affiliated with the work that we are doing.  Social sustainability is a topic that has tremendous widespread interest, even though it takes second place to material sustainability considerations.  We have begun to develop those contacts and the receptiveness of those points of initiation—meaning individuals within organizations who may not be God-believing or interested in the topics of spirituality.  As you know, the Father’s work engages everyone in all regards, whether they believe in him or not.  Everyone can be useful in contributing to the welfare and good and future evolution of this world, from the individual to a global civilization.

You will see that our work, if you examine the broad scale of media and the development of organizational agendas and topics of interest for discussion, leaves footprints or fingerprints on many thousands of organizations.  We work conjointly with the Most Highs, and our efforts are coordinated with them, and theirs with us.  We have the capacity to embellish those thoughts of individuals in the organizations in which the Most Highs are involved.  We also have the capacity to give these individuals options for thinking, and the development of coincidence, happenstance and serendipity are wonderful methods by which these individuals can come into contact with diverse ideas that they can develop.

*What is needed are good role models of moral and ethical leaders
 
*What is needed are good role models of moral and ethical leaders
 
What your world and the nation needs—your social culture needs—are moral, ethical and social leaders, who are also good models, good role models for those with lesser capability.  It is essential to the evolution of a society that leadership evinces those qualities.  Critical thinking can be a topic that even national leaders can use in an educational means.  We hold in less regard those pompous leaders who hold themselves above the ordinary individuals, that they are not capable or their roles are not sufficient to become role models or educators of their nation of people.  I know I have taken your question quite afar, but we wish you to seek a balanced thoughtfulness about critical thinking.  Those individuals who are critical thinkers strive and seek those who are also of their kind, and they are in some regards, quite lonely in this regard.  There is, however, a very broad role for them, where their loneliness would be assuaged by providing educational leadership to those without the quality of critical thinking.  I am not speculating, but projecting into the future where this will actually happen, and it could happen as early as decades, rather than centuries.  Surely, this must come forward in the next fifty years for your nations to evolve to the level where thoughtful and critical thinking is admired, appreciated and rewarded.

MMc:  Thank you.  You have carried [us] quite far from what I was thinking.  My own thinking had to do with developing or educating the people in the design teams to become critical thinkers, so that they might take part in the design team process.  I understand that overall, not everybody is cut out to be a critical thinker as the intelligence quotients and the potential for growth and maturity is not necessarily there for everyone.  The question I should have asked is, can we teach the design team members, at least, the art of critical thinking?
