*What is the intention of education?
 
When you examine the foundations and basis for education, you must ask the same question:  “What is the intention of education?”  Well surely, it must be that it supports the longevity of the species.  Everything must work towards that, and I would suggest that you include the illustration that This One has devised that points all efforts of families, communities and societies and economies and governments to the sustainability of the species:  The reproduction and enculturation of every next-generation is the responsibility of the family to support the survival of the species.  Education must educate people to understand that their existence is to help support the species, and in doing so, they must have a functional, sustainable family dynamic within the family that teaches the enculturation of the principles of social sustainability.  Organizations in a society that have chosen to move toward being sustainable, incorporate the three core values into their founding documents, their vision, intention, philosophy, mission, goals and objectives; and, particularly in their daily decision-making processes.  These three values become the arbiters of good decision-making in all social matters, topics and issues.

Adding 3 core values to governments, corporations and organizations

*Adding 3 core values to governments, corporations and organizations
 
Corporations and governments, of course, must also make those decisions with those three core values.  The reason why organizations, societies, governments and nations have failed—all have failed in the history of Urantia—is because they did not make decisions that were invested with these three core values.  Those three core values require that you grow, that you take into account the conditions that surround you and affect you.  And when I say “you,” in this case—as a whole corporation, whether it is General Electric, Shell Oil, General Motors or any of the other huge corporations and organizations of the world—that they take these three core values into account in their decision-making so that families are supported, the communities are supported, and that ultimately the species and societies are supported, not for five years or fifty years but five hundred years and five thousand years.

Roxie:  I have a list of questions from two of our readers that harken back to our discussions on mental health but I kind of hate to leave this wonderful session of peace and the three core values and change the subject.  This whole session has been so neatly tied up in a bow that I don’t want to leave this sense of euphoria.

MACHIVENTA:  Let us take this as a natural break for our discussion today and use my comments to our Student’s statement as my closing, and we can now set a date for our reunion in two weeks, if you wish.
