Invocation



*November 14, 2016*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Good morning, this is Machiventa Melchizedek and it is a
pleasure to be here with you once again.



*Message from Christ Michael*



I will report on the conversation that Christ Michael had with This One
this morning.  Christ Michael gave the assurance that their plans for the
Correcting Time have now reached the implementation stage, wherein
individuals and groups of individuals will be actively brought together to
find their commonalities, and that this will last a period of time from
three to five years.  There is an attempt by us, the Triumvirate, and our
forces of light, to quell any major global social, political, or economic
disruptions that would hinder our working to bring this implementation
together.



The second part of this message is that we have been aided by the recent
election in the United States where those who did not vote for Mr. Trump
will be brought together in like fashion as we are doing globally.  This is
much like what happens when a farmer, who has a large machine, harvests the
wheat, and then wheat seeds are separated from the weed seeds, so that you
end up with whole and clean seed that can be used next year.  What has
happened in this election, from our perspectives, is the separation of
those who wish to recede into the past and into social, political, and
economic isolationism whereas the future of the world is “oneness with
all.”  We know that this election has been most disruptive and you are
quite right that it has taken the animosities to the point of polarization
and heightened them to great levels.



This is all I have to report on this at this time.  As we have no further
opening comments, you are most welcome to bring questions to the forum now.



*Where are the truths from the President Elect?*



*ML:*  I do have a question.  It seems to me that it may well be that the
comments that the President Elect has made over the period of the campaign
are being interpreted in one of two ways:  A lot of the statements are
being taken literally and my sense is that where people have done that,
become the most upset, and yet, those who are steadfast followers may,
generally speaking, not be taking them literally, but simply believing that
he will do more with respect to those issues than anybody else on the
ticket.  Can you give us a sense of where the truth lies?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, I would be glad to, as far as we can aid you with
this.  First is that he is quite a “grandstanding individual,” who plays to
the audience.  He is bifurcated; he is not schizophrenic but he is
bifurcated in that on one hand, he will play any tactic and say anything
mean or otherwise to gain an upper hand and to bring together those people
who would support him.  On the other hand, he is an individual who has wise
business acumen, and so he does what is necessary to promote his gain.  He
has offended a huge population of the United States and the world and has
gained the Presidency because of that.  He, on the other hand, presents
some capabilities which would honor his conservative isolationist
supporters.



What will be discovered in future months and years is that he has a very
pragmatic approach, also to maintaining his position.  He will soften many
of his stances and begin to accept more of what has occurred in the past as
far as foreign and domestic policies.  He is what you might call, “his own
fan club.”  He likes to arouse people by any means possible, but when he is
on the court, as in playing tennis, he is very aggressive and will do what
he can to win each set.  What you will find in coming months and years of
his Presidency is that the “system is broken,” and in fact there is no
system to your government.  It was created as a multilayer of linear
processes to accomplish the goals of democracy, socially, politically and
economically — and those have run their course.  He will be presented with
problems he will not have answers to and therefore he will seek outside
influence of other groups that want to maintain the status quo.  You can be
assured that the influences of corporations will continue unabated and will
grasp at any opportune chance to expand their hold on congressional and
legislative processes.



*A need for gaining unbiased information about candidates*



*Craig:*  I just have a couple of questions this morning.  One was that I
recently heard about this “Voter” computer application, and it seemed to me
that this went along the lines of solving one of the little pieces of
political puzzle and that is how to gain information about the
candidates—true information and unbiased.  It’s an app for an iPhone that
is probably not accessible to everyone the way that a web site would be,
and they also have to supply the information themselves.  I just wondered
if it did seem like a progressive idea.  I wondered if you might have any
comments on that.



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes.  You are beginning to see the applications, as these
computer applications and other software processes, fill in the chinks that
are not working in your democratic process.  What is missing is a database
of honest and authentic information for the public that is without bias and
without self-interest.  You are also seeing that there needs to be improved
Internet and computer services for greater citizen input to their
governmental processes on a daily basis, or even on an hour-to-hour basis
if a person chooses.  There is obviously a great need by the public that
needs to be filled for their ability to communicate effectively with their
public executives, whether those are elected or appointed.  There has not
yet been provided a means for these bits and pieces to come together into
an organized and integrated whole that supports the interests of a
democratic society and nation, and also serves the interests of individual
citizens.



These are all pointing to the future, which will come about.  What will
necessarily develop is a process that is without bias, without
self-interest for its own preservation, but serves the larger goals of
society and particularly for future generations in a democratic society.
There must become an evolution of the democratic process to fulfill this.
There are enough constitutional allowances, privileges and rights for these
processes to come into being without violating any constitutional political
processes, and there are enough reasons to do so without violence and
without social, political, or economic retardation.  You will see many more
of these innovations come forward to assist your democracy.  Also, there
must come forward someone who can make sense of all this and apply this to
the larger realm of democratic governance and citizen participation.



*Craig:*  I just have trouble seeing what the communication tools might
look like, but I hope those will develop over time.



*MACHIVENTA:*  If I may comment, they already exist.  It is simply a matter
of invention, of bringing bits and pieces and parts of these developments
together in a holistic and integrated system that is circular and provides
the learning component that is missing from democratic processes.



*A clarification on something in The Urantia Book*



*Craig:*  My other question is totally unrelated to the first.  I was
wondering if we might get a small clarification of something in *The* *Urantia
Book*, based on change in the meaning of a term, since the book was
written.  The book says that, the Carboniferous was the “Age of Frogs,”
back in the evolution of life, and at the time that the book was written,
there was no term for class of animals between fish and reptiles.  The term
“amphibian” was used to denote anything that lived in water and on land,
including turtles and seals, and that changed in the 1960s—I sort of
remember when it did—and it came to be the term denominating the class of
animals that lays eggs in the water between fish and reptiles.  I was
wondering if *The Urantia Book* today, and especially in light of the fact
that no fossils recognized as being frogs exist before the Permian
Period—none found so far—that maybe *The Urantia Book* if it was written
today would have termed the Carboniferous “The Age of Amphibians?”



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, you are correct.  There are many anomalies within *The
Urantia Book*, which indicate that it was based on information or data that
was not complete at the time.  It was the best effort of the celestial
realm using the database of human understanding that would convey the
intents of the book in its revelation.  It also points to the fact that
readers who are discerning have found that the book is not a complete
record, and that there are many parts missing, and many that could be
corrected and would be in the future.  We have said this before that it is
not a perfect instrument of learning, but that what it portrays to be at
the time it was written and published.



*What will come out as a result of this election*



*ML:*  I do have another question.  You spoke about those who are in
effect, wanting to retreat and not move forward.  My question is:  Is it a
fair and accurate understanding that those who have predominantly supported
the President Elect, are serving us—the larger population—in a positive
way, although difficult to see sometimes, by revealing the level of
confusion, fear and anger of a population basically that feels and sees
themselves stuck, economically and socially?  Is that a fair and accurate
reading of what has happened?



*Globalization is the trend of the future*



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, that is a fair description of what is happening.  It is
not fully accurate in that it is incomplete, but it is a fair description.
What will come out of this through our influence in these next years is a
closer examination of the reasons for holding back, or not going forward.
You know from *The Urantia Book*, as well as anyone, that globalization is
the trend of the future, that it is a trend of bringing oneness to a
disparate and separated world, and that the difficulties of bringing about
this oneness is immense to those who have benefitted most from their own
isolation in the past.  We do not call them “dinosaurs of thought or
culture;”  we see them as a positive influence for the future to examine
what works.



It is important that that question be fully examined and analyzed to assist
the future to go forward constructively.  When those questions are asked,
“What works?” it is not pointed to fixing your problems, but it is pointed
to separating the problem from the larger situation that most of society
works quite well.  There are problems involved in a society that is
evolving and moving forward with social change, technological change, and
tremendous growth in education of the population, in a population that is
separated by education and by socio-economic levels.  It is important that
those who are willing to move forward to have a more integrated society not
separate from those who want to hold back, but to respect them for the
willingness to adhere to tradition and the culture that they have known for
a long time.



It is not everyone who is able to move into a new cultural situation
comfortably; it is done gradually and peacefully over time, and violence
and revolutions and revolts only tend to make the sides more separated.
You have only to look to the Middle East with the Sunnis and the Shiites,
whose groups continue to embattle the tragedies of history and bring those
tragedies into the future with continued animosities towards others.  It is
our attempt in these interim peaceful times that I mentioned earlier to
bring about an understanding of the commonalities that bring harmony,
social stability and social evolution that benefits everyone.  The
tremendous economic disparities of your world present you and us with the
opportunity to redefine wealth and to assist in the processes at the
social, national, and global level where the distribution of wealth
benefits everyone, and still allows for tremendous innovation and growth
and accumulation of wealth in more positive ways.  I apologize for going
astray from your question, but these seem to be all relevant parts of the
answer.



*ML:*  Thank you.



*The Electoral College*



*Roxie:*  Machiventa, there is much talk over whether we should end the
Electoral College way of voting and go to a popular vote, or not.  Your
recommendations, please?



*MACHIVENTA:*  I have no recommendations at this time, but I will reveal
some thoughts concerning the antiquarian aspects of the democracy that was
formed in the 1700s.  Many of the antiquarian elements, such as the Senate
and House of Representatives, those two separate entities, as well as the
Electoral College and so forth, are protectionist tactics to ensure that
the young democracy that began in the late 1700s and early 1800s was able
to become established and not overturned by a large uneducated and
understanding rabble population, and they were at the time a rabble
population!  These are people who wanted to survive and to have a better
life, but were not interested in, or were uneducated to participate in the
election and campaign process to become the political leaders of this young
nation.



Your nation is far past those times.  Now, those antiquarian aspects of
your democracy are holding back the enjoyment of understanding of a more
functional democratic process that takes social evolution into account.
Those antiquarian means now are being used by those with money and power to
enjoy an opportunity that would be absent if those antiquarian aspects were
removed.  We do suggest that there be an interest in examining those
antiquarian aspects and having those removed.  Yet, on the other hand, the
democratic process as it now exists does not have the “umpf,” the power,
the leverage of the people to make that happen.  Therefore, this
amalgamizing holistic integrated process as a new evolutionary process of
democracy is one that would make that possible.  I am not going to reveal
further about that, but leave these developments to come about in time as
you will see.



*The Patriot Act*



*Roxie:*  Thank you.  It is said that fear can make citizens give up their
rights, and that the Patriot Act gives the government total power over
civilians.  Do you see this happening as a result of our election?



*MACHIVENTA:*  It is not necessarily an association that needs to be
exercised.  The Patriot Act as you and others know is a voluminous document
which gave advantage to the government in case of terrorist attacks.
However, there is within it the “latent seed of tyranny,” of the exercise
of government to make a police state and martial law possible in times of
emergency.  It does give too much authority and power to the
decision-making of a few that which could be used for their own advantage
and to the immense disadvantage of a prospering democratic nation.  This is
something that has been formalized and existed before in the discretion of
executive offices to put down revolts and so on, as you saw during the
1920s and 1930s and in the 1950s and 1960s during the riots in the cities.
Isolated use of martial law tactics and even military control of society is
necessary in isolated situations, and in isolated geographic areas.  It
becomes most egregious and very destructive to the good working order of a
nation when it is applied nationwide; then you will see what occurred in
Germany, those who want to adhere to that process and those who must escape.



*The failure of government to protect us from corporate greed*



*Roxie:*  Our government has failed to protect us from corporate greed.  Is
there a merger of political and government interest that could be
considered a kind of fascism or tyranny?



*MACHIVENTA:*  No.  It would require an organization to do that.  Some
people identify the Illuminati as making that possible.  You are in error
in the formation of your question, however, and that the development of the
corporate influence was due to the profit motive of corporations.  They
have a very clear and distinct mandate, and that is to make a profit, to
earn money and to send that to their stockholders and to grow the company.
However, there is no known intention for government; it is a very confused
situation for those who are elected and those who are appointed.  There is
no clear mandate or intention for the existence of government in that if
you looked at government, it is there to maintain the good working order of
a democratic society.  However, what is missing is the visionary leadership
that is necessary to bring that society into an organized, purposeful
future, for future generations.  Were there such a mandate for government,
then you would see the means of entering the future without the use of
corporations to control that.



*Second and third stages of democracy*



You live in what This One and we have entitled as a “second stage
democracy.”  The first stage of development of democracy occurred in the
last thousand years, or shorter than that, until the 1700s when this
democratic nation came into existence.  The second stage of democratic
development occurred in the last 240 years, and it was really a trial
effort by citizens to form a democracy, socially, politically and
economically that would continue into existence.  However, there was no
vision past this simple existence.  What now must occur is the evolutionary
development of the third stage of democracy so that it has intention, it
has purpose, it has vision, and it has the motivation and the means to
learn from its mistakes and transcend its past and move itself into the
future for the welfare of all future generations.



There is unfortunately, materialism and the profit motive and focalized
interest on making money, no matter how much money in this generation,
which keeps the thought on the present, and selfishness and the
self-entitlement and even condescension thoughts about the welfare of
others.  As you see from my comments this is a major concern that we have
and the development and evolution of democracies is primary to the
foundation of a global civilization and political process that leads to
social stability, peace, and eventually to the Days of Light and Life.



*Is it time to consider a global federation?*



*ML:*  I’m wondering if the situation globally, which seems to be largely
chaos and self-serving country by country, and all of the other
characteristics usually displayed day after day, if it isn’t possible to
begin consideration of a  federation, as opposed to other attempts to
develop democracy, as we have known it?  Is it time to begin considering
another form of global management, usually referred to as a federation, as
opposed to a democracy?



*MACHIVENTA:*  Yes, it is time to think of that.  There is mention in some
of the recent revelations of the need for a global organization similar to
that of the United States.  You have 50 independent states within the
federation of the United States nation, and so the states operate very
independently, but there are commonalities which must occur among all the
states, and that is a means of sharing revenue through taxation with the
Federal Government and State Government, a means of communication, a
uniform language—though secondary languages should be supported—and an
economy that works, and laws that are universal, and so forth.  The main
problem that is occurring within nations is the adamant resistance to
Desovereignization, as Richard Buckminster Fuller spoke about in his book,
“Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth.”  The problem with sovereignty is
that the rules of sovereignty seem to be becoming stronger in some cases
and more porous in others.



*The problem of overpopulation*



The second problem is overpopulation; it is an egregious problem that
continues to worsen.  When you see the exit of hundreds of thousands of
people in nations in distress to nations that are successful and popular
that has occurred from Africa to Europe and from the Middle East to Europe,
you are seeing the problems of overpopulation.  On the other hand, the
issue of sovereignization of nations is causing difficulty within the
European Union to resolve the problems of the migrants.  I use these two
examples together because they point to the need for a federation, as you
speak of. The economic union of Europe did not go far enough; it is still
in a novice beginning state where no one has seen the necessity of the
evolution, or has planned those stages of evolution for the Union.  It is
an economic Union.  However, there is a necessity of union beyond economies
that must be used to join people together; some understanding of its
commonalities and make internal agreements to lessen the borders between
those nations.



*Brexit will affect millions of lives*



The situation of the phenomena called “Brexit,” is a step in the opposite
direction of the Days of Light and Life.  It is an experiment, and as such
it will affect the lives of millions of people, perhaps to their detriment
as we see it.  There may be short-term advantages, but it is very similar
to what occurred in the election of the United States where the
conservative element wanted to take a step backwards, back in time to how
it was decades ago.  The problem with the social, political, and economic
thinking of the world is that it is not anticipating the future.  In order
to live in the future you want to live in, you must anticipate and make
plans for it and come to an understanding of the forces of evolution that
bring that about, whether it is peaceful or violent.  It is in the
interests of all concerned to have peaceful evolution, rather than
violence, which is very detrimental to evenness of productive progress and
the benefit of an improving quality of life for everyone.  Thank you for
your question.



*The ramifications of corporations controlling our lives*



*Roxie:*  I watched a documentary called, “An American Empire:  An Act.”
It was about the ramifications of corporations controlling our economic,
ecological and political systems.  They have no accountability, but they
control our lives.  Henry Kissinger said, “He who controls money, controls
the world.”  You answered a question very similar to this one in our last
session, but my question this time is:  Since this tendency of the
corporations and the rich to control all resources and income is increasing
at an alarming speed, what will happen to give our design teams the power
to overcome this present increasing situation?



*MACHIVENTA:*  The impetus to do so; the need to do so—as simple as that.
When people begin to feel pinched in life, then they will seek answers.  As
you have known from the last 8 years of our work involving social
sustainability, there has been very little interest from others, even
within our own community, and those outside our community in this process.
It simply has not been a need or a driving necessity for individuals to
come together to resolve those problems.  Part of the answer was provided
in my previous statement that government has no vision; it has no intention
for its existence other than to govern, whereas with profits and business
the motivation is to make a profit, earn money, accumulate money, and
control the economic environment.



The core of the problem is that there is no morality guiding organizations
or governments.  The morality of the last 6,000 years is one that has been
dictated by the personal interests of kings, monarchs, and so on, to
control individual behavior that is destructive to the functioning of
society.  It was never meant as a morality for groups of individuals,
governments, or corporations.  Your question barely scratches the surface
of the moral difficulties of your world, simply because the morality that
has existed in your world is primitive and archaic and not thoughtfully
developed as a learning process for individuals, for organizations, or for
your civilization.



*Corporations are controlling our food and chemical industries*



*Roxie:*  Thank you.  The large corporations have already taken control of
the food and chemical industries, and now 80% of the family farmers are
gone, and it is said that half a million of them have committed suicide.
If we succeed in taking back the land from the big corporations, who will
be left to grow our food?



*MACHIVENTA:*  That is never a concern.  Any land that exists is always
used for the production of food.  The question is incomplete; it does not
look at the larger picture of corporate ownership and corporate dominance
of society.  What is needed is for individual citizens to come together in
groups to become powerful within communities and to seek a new means, to
invent new means that empower them.  Many millions and billions of people
have forfeit their power by entering into the materialistic, monetary
fantasy of greater and greater prosperity to have an improving quality of
life, where the whole point of having an improving quality of life is
missed by materialism and financial accumulation.  When people literally
buy into the economic materialism that is present in modern and developed
societies and nations, they have given away their freedom.



*Desertification of farm lands*



*Roxie:*  It is said that because of the poor farming practices of the big
corporations, much of the land in the American Midwest is becoming a dust
bowl and is no longer sustainable.  Do you see this happening, and if so,
how soon?



*MACHIVENTA:*  It is a combination of factors of your world that are larger
than just the Midwest of the United States.  It is the process of
desertification with agricultural lands that do not have enough moisture.
You are seeing the beginnings of something larger than corporate
destruction of the lands; you are seeing that it is the lifestyles of
people who have sought to have more.  This process is beyond that of
corporations; it is a process of global warming and all the tragedies and
travesties of manufacturing and production that a materialistic
civilization has caused in your world.  It began with the exploitation of
the natural resources of your world and using those for production whether
as energy sources, or as finished products.  Your world, Urantia, and the
spirit of Urantia are in the process of correcting this, though it will
result in the demise of literally billions of people.



*Think beyond your brief life*



What we are trying to instill in these answers in all of you, and hopefully
this will become a part of the thinking of a few of you, is the aspect of
Planetary Management to think outside the realm of your own individual
short and brief life, and that you are incapable and incompetent to affect
the whole.  This is simply untrue.  You as individuals can have a powerful
effect on your own life by making decisions that contribute to your
happiness.  We have found that indebtedness of almost any degree does not
lead to happiness in individuals who have chosen that route in life.  It is
a lifestyle; it is a culture, and so the work that we are doing as
Planetary Managers is to bend your cultures to think in larger parameters.
It is not just corporations, but the whole world that is involved in its
own destruction at this time.



*Roxie:* Now corporations want to control all sources of water, even
polluting rivers so that they can capitalize on selling bottled water.  It
is illegal in most states to save rain and gray water.  There is an
estimate that the Great Lakes could be dry in as little as 8 years.  Are
these fears justified?



*MACHIVENTA:*  We defer answering this line of questions.



*Roxie:*  Monsanto has bought up almost all seed companies and turned them
into GMO seeds.  It is now illegal for farmers to save seed to use the
following season, so they have to buy seeds from Monsanto each year.
Monsanto now controls seed patents in 70 Countries.  They are taking over
faster than the farmers can counter their actions.  Do you have suggestions
on stopping this stampede before all is lost?



*MACHIVENTA:*  We defer answering the question.



*Roxie:*  I have one more question on the Federal Reserve, but perhaps that
should be left until we get into the economic system.



*How does providence work?*



So, I’ll ask one more question I received in an email.  He says, “I think I
understand what providence is.  What I’d like to know is how does
providence work?”



*MACHIVENTA:*  We have spoken of providence in times past over the years.
It is a frequent topic that comes up occasionally from time to time.  We
have explained that providence is the outworking of Divine Order and Divine
Timing and Divine Development, as many of the spiritual metaphysical trains
of thought teach.  How it works answers a deeper question and this is
important for you as individuals, and for your thoughts about your world
and your own personal spiritual ascension, and it is this:  Providence
works by the coordination of Thought Adjusters around the world.  It is
guided by the Planetary Thought Adjuster that is resident here, and it
works as this:  Thought Adjusters are of one mind, and one mind knows how
to arrange developments so that they work for the good of individuals and
for those who have good intentions in their life.



You have seen coincidence work for others.  Happenstance and serendipity
work for others who are non-believers as well.  They have simply learned
how to go with the flow of the universe.  Those of you who are believers in
the good work of God, and who have released the direction of your life to
God’s handiwork are guided by opportunities that draw you into where you
need to be, and where you can contribute and make a contribution to your
life and to your children, and to that of others.  We, meaning the Thought
Adjusters, are of one mind, and that when you submit your will to God,
where you release the direction of your life and its guidance and its
development to doing God’s Will, and you “will” to do God’s Will, that
gives permission to your Thought Adjuster with other Thought Adjusters to
arrange your life in ways that bring you into a fuller life experience and
to the development and fullness of your soul, so that when you graduate
from your mortal life, you begin the morontial experience with a much
heartier advanced capability to progress in that new realm.



*Doing God’s Will*



The doing of God’s Will is much more than just releasing yourself to God’s
guidance as you as an individual; you therefore become an instrument in the
good working order to bring this world into the Days of Light and Life,
that you become a contributing member to your life, and to those of
others.  Have you not seen many times where you come into the world, and
you go out into the shopping centers, malls and in traffic and you see
others helping others, and you see the good working order that is going
on?  You are oftentimes the recipient, and oftentimes you are the
benefactor to others, and so when you release yourself to God’s Will, you
become of service, and you become also a learning instrument to learn the
way that works in peace and harmony.



This is truly the advanced state of the Days of Light and Life, but on an
individual level.  You have seen people who have released their life to God
and to doing God’s work, and do not strive in their life, but nonetheless
live lives of happiness and fulfillment and contentment.  This is the way
that it is to be when life is settled on a planet that has come to that
age, and it is so for millions of individuals.  In your world now, this is
so difficult because there are so many people, and it is difficult to live
in peace, and it is difficult to make an intention to live in peace.  The
opportunities that people see are oftentimes very narrow.  However, when
they release themselves to God, they also give themselves a far broader
horizon of opportunities to experience when those opportunities do enter
their lives.  I hope this answers your question.



*Roxie:*  Thank you very much, Machiventa.  That is all the questions I
have.  Craig or Michael, have you come up with any additional ones?



*Intentions to do things that evolve democracy and society*



*Craig:*   I was thinking:  There’s a group of bankers that meet in Basel,
Switzerland every year, and there’s the Bilderberg group of very powerful
people that meet every year and they talk about what they want to do to the
world or with the world.  These people with these intentions, they cause a
lot of things to come about. I believe that they are effective because of
the drift of civilization, or whatever, the lack of other intentions within
society. And I am thinking that we are being asked to have individuals come
together with intentions to do things that evolve democracy, that evolve
society.  So, these people that cause all these huge effects in the world,
there are a very small number of them, so are we saying that small numbers
of people coming together for design teams for evolution will probably have
great effects, because the people with intentions cause a lot to happen,
whereas the rest of society just goes along with whatever is happening?
That’s just a thought.



*MACHIVENTA:*  That is a good thought as well.  You have come to a larger
perspective of what is occurring, that those with intention have given
themselves purpose and goals to achieve, whereas those who are just
dithering about in life making a living, trying to make ends meet without
having an intention for their life, or an intention with other people, give
themselves over as ready victims to those with intention.  It is important
that small groups of individuals come together to find commonality and to
define an intention for coming together in what they want to work on.  When
they have that, then you will see great progress.



You have opened the door to much insight into the problems of societies,
whether they are democratic or otherwise, that there are many people who do
not understand the intention for their life, or for their community, or
nation, or for the world.  It is important that you as individuals begin
working on an intention for your democracy: social, political and economic
construct of your democracy.  What would that intention be?  If you come
together with individuals in your community, you must think in very broad
terms that would be historic way into the future.  What would be the
intention that you would want to have for a democratic society?  When you
begin doing that, you will begin to form a vision, and then you will begin
to form an operating philosophy that can be used by individuals and by huge
organizations, one that brings a unity of thinking and living and purpose
to your activities.  I thank you for your question; that is very intuitive
in many ways.









*Machiventa’s closing statement*



This is Machiventa as a representative of the Triumvirate here on Urantia,
we thank you for your time today, and we thank you for the thoughtfulness
of your questions.  It seems quite evident to us that the disruption of the
normalcy of your nation and your political and economic situation has given
you time and reason to think about deeper issues and questions.  You have
begun to unlock the key to the future by asking questions, and by doing so,
you will begin to find purpose in your life, and your existence as groups
of individuals.  We whole heartedly support that work:  You must have
purpose as a society in order to come into the competitive field with large
organizations that are purposeful and have intention in what they are
doing.  Until then, you will simply be more of the modern day rabble
without direction.  Thank you.
