Machiventa Melchizedek, Planetary Manager

Transmitter/Receiver: John Morris
Invocation: JT

October 28, 2024

Machiventa Melchizedek: This is Machiventa. Thank you once again for this moment where we can commune together. I am here at your invitation, and I accept your willingness to give me your attention so that we can discuss what is that you want to know about the administration of Urantia. Your world is transitioning to a planetary destiny that’s hard for you to imagine. Try as you may, you can have no real idea of what your world would look like if there were worldwide peace, yet this is the next plateau for your collective evolution. Many of the issues that plague you now must wait for their resolution until such time that there is peace on Urantia. The seeds have and are being planted for this epoch of planetary status, and the germination of these seeds, the timing of the bearing of the fruits of these efforts is in your collective hands. Until there are enough mortals who will advocate for peace, you will continue to have war. The ability of a few to create war for profit and power depends upon the tolerance of the many who allow it. When enough people refuse to allow this, it will end.

This is a grassroots effort, and it will not come about as a result of political leadership. Many inhabitants must collectively join together in many countries to refuse to support war. There must grow a vision of a peaceful coexistence that can be broadly shared by many citizens in many countries so the pressure on those that govern is immense enough that if they ignore this movement, they will be driven from power. There are those among you who feel this will not come about until enough mortals have found the living connection to the loving vibration of the First Source and Center. When this message of the living gospel of Jesus—of the Fatherhood and Motherhood of God and the corresponding sister-brotherhood of mankind—begins to appeal to enough of the inhabitants of Urantia, the movements of peace will gain enough traction to effectively bring an end to war.

If this is correct, what is your best chance in this digital age of global communication to bring about this worldwide campaign to bring this good news of the gospel of Jesus, restated in modern times to the most people? How would a new generation of messengers go forth to the world with this saving message of peace and hope? In my day as the Sage of Salem I had to rely on individual men to walk across a dangerous environment and physically deliver this message to those who would listen. As slow and tedious as this was, it was sufficient to keep alive the truth of one God until such time as our sovereign Michael would incarnate as the baby Jesus and bring the good news of the unconditional love of our Creator to humankind. What will this generation do to bring this message to the world? You are the ones entrusted with this message. Tell me, how can I assist you to bring this world to a place of peace so humanity may begin to enjoy the fruits of this message and move forward along its path of evolutionary destiny? I await your answer.

Deborah: Hi Machiventa. Well, you know what our group has accomplished so far with the website, and I keep intending to open an Instagram account and begin bombarding it with messages. What else can we do for you, and how do we get much of the community onboard to see this as a service opportunity for them so they will find a way to also carry the message in whatever way works for them? I just want to know what more I can do as the president of Mission Urantia to get more momentum built up.

MACHIVENTA: Yes, thank you Deborah. When we look at what is happening in this community and we see the honest efforts of the people in it, at this point it’s very scattered, and everybody works on their own vision of what they think they can do. As much as we appreciate that (and we do), we see a real need for a coming together of this generation in an agreed upon effort that they can support through their service, their energy, or whatever other means they may have to bring this message to a global platform and make it available outside of this community.

This is the moment for this community to really think about how they want to leave this world in terms of their personal legacy. Most of you are senior citizens and will soon transition. What I would like this community to reflect upon is: are you satisfied with a lifetime of consuming and absorbing and enjoying these revelations? And when you are asked to give an account of how you invested these talents that you have been given, are you satisfied with the current status quo? Because if you are, then we must wait the coming of another generation. But if you are not (and I know I’m preaching to the choir here) we must find a way to work together in a collective manner that brings the awareness of a global planetary administration to this world and that lets them know that there is a plan—a plan for them personally and a plan for humanity collectively. The key to this plan is each individual being willing to put the effort in to make this living connection with the First Source and Center and allow themselves to be transformed by the power of this living connection. Because out of that transformation will come the collective willingness to move beyond individual differences, individual personal agendas, individual egos and find a way to put the good of the whole ahead of the good of any one individual.

Now, you would think that this community could do that having received these teachings and having made (many of you) this living connection with the Spirit within and with the First Source and Center. Is there not a broad enough appeal in what your planetary administration is asking you to do that somehow you cannot, as a community, work together to try and accomplish this? I know that leadership is an important quality of this. I also know that I am not going to fulfill this role of leadership for you. You must find within yourself, in your community, those who are willing to say: “OK. I can support this idea. I can support this plan.” Then the question becomes, how can I plug myself into it to do everything within my power to guarantee its success?

There are several factions within this community right now with Mission Urantia, YOAM.life, Institute of Christ Consciousness and other websites. Is there no room, no movement amongst you as individuals to talk about how to pool this energy and support one another? Does no one have a vision big enough to encompass how you would take this period of a remarkable revelation to this world—really the last 40 years or so since the ending and adjudication of the Lucifer rebellion—to the next generation who is then going to have to be responsible for and grow it? And if you believe that the next generation really needs to inherit this gift of revelation, then how would you approach them? They have no concept of The Urantia Book, they have no concept of the Teaching Mission, they have no concept of all the wonderful ideas in there that you are so familiar with. How would you craft this message so that they could become curious about it and find some value in the initial contact with this revelation that would inspire them to continue to search it out and to apply it in their life?

So, what everyone is doing in an individual capacity is all well and fine, but what I am asking this community to do is to make a more cooperative effort in pooling their resources and energy to coalesce around a vision that, with community support, might have an actual chance of growing this mission to the next generation; providing these ideas in such a way that they will be attracted to them. That’s a challenge, and it’s also the opportunity.

The opportunities provided by Mission Urantia, YOAM.life and others that are doing something on an individual basis all represent service opportunities for individual members of this community to support. We are not looking for each individual to start their own website or plan as much as we are trying to find some way to stimulate this community to work together because therein lies the levers of exponential growth, and we would see you, before you transition from this world, put your hands upon those levers of exponential growth and multiply your energy and your efforts to a sufficient point where they can be sustained after you leave Urantia. Thank you.

Deborah: Thank you Machiventa. That means I get to go back to the drawing board with my small team and we will eventually be meeting with the community. I’m planning to do that next week and see what interest we can get from them and what more they would like from our leadership.

MACHIVENTA: Yes, and thank you. That is the kind of leadership that is necessary. There now needs to be a broad appeal to this community. There are several avenues for them to support and there are more creative ideas in the ether waiting to come forth, but we need to speak to the community as a whole and see what it is now that we can generate as a collective effort. Thank you.

Deborah: Thank you.

Steffen: It only makes sense. We really need to figure out who we are going to support, and everyone unite under that banner so to speak. I think we need to talk among ourselves. Fragmenting our efforts is not smart. The question just becomes who we choose, what process do we go through to select our unified effort because there are a lot of very worthwhile websites and people who are providing information, materials and even outreach in some cases. There shouldn’t be a difficulty in uniting us, but there seems to be, and I don’t understand why. As I mentioned the first time I joined this group, that was the reason I haven’t joined the groups: there are so many fragmented groups and there seems to be this undercurrent of competition between them and I cannot imagine why there should be. So perhaps it’s time we get everybody together in as large a group as we possibly can instead of just 5 or 6 people. Why don’t we have 50 in the same group?

Sal: Yeah!

Steffen: I don’t understand that. And that’s something we really need to talk about amongst ourselves. And Machiventa, of course you can’t do it for us. You can guide us in the directions, but we really need to take up the banner if you will and make a decision as to who we are going to support, how we are going to band together because if you really think about it, that is the essence of what The Urantia Book is—it’s brotherhood, working together, loving each other, working on our problems—and that’s kind of why we are on this planet in the first place to learn these lessons. And the fact that we have this information and we’re not learning these lessons we should be a little bit embarrassed.

So, whatever your thoughts are on that, I think the biggest problem right now is who do we select, how do we select them and how do we go through the process? But we need to decide on this in order for us to focus our efforts collectively as opposed to scattering them all over the place. Because if we do not reach the youth now, it’s like you say, it’s going to be another generation, another time and it could be a hundred or a thousand years from now before we get our act together and that’s not acceptable.

Sal: Well said!

MACHIVENTA: This is Machiventa. Thank you, Steffen. What I would say as your Planetary Manager is: first off you must know that I, Christ Michael, Mother Nebadonia, the Father love you all unconditionally. And it is no judgement on our part as you struggle in this stage of human evolution to overcome 200,000 years of the rebellion mindset in a single generation and ask you to put aside your differences and to focus on a collective vision that has an opportunity to be global in its reach. So, I would direct each of you and those who read these words to ask themselves in their quiet time and in their stillness practice, what is it in me that prevents me from supporting a larger effort? Where is the resistance? Where in my unconscious and subconscious mind am I not seeing the blockages that prevent me from setting aside my expectations, my personal ambitions, my ideas and lending an effort to a collective idea. How can I participate in that?

Now, deciding to do so will require tremendous understanding on your part. It will require you to understand your resistance to it and it will require you to grow, but in that growth is the possibility of great soul growth and expansion and a new feeling much like happened on Pentecost when Jesus poured out his Spirit of Truth upon the apostles, the group gathered there and on this whole world and Nebadonia poured out her Holy Spirit and Thought Adjusters came to everyone on the planet. This collective effort, when sincerely engaged in, has a similar potential to bring that sort of spiritual energy to this world that will go far beyond the efforts of this community and spread all over this globe like a healing balm. That is one of the possibilities that a genuine and sincere effort on the part of this generation and this community could bring to this world. And then there are the details of how to work this out. There are so many potentials just hovering over the horizon that this community has the opportunity to actualize in the remainder of their life here. It’s a nexus point that won’t come again for several if not more generations. We would like to see it seized by this community so now is the time to overcome the differences.

And let me give you an idea of how difficult this is. Those who manage the dissemination of The Urantia Book through the Urantia Foundation, the Urantia Brotherhood and so on have very rigid ideas about what they feel their mission is, and they have pretty much not evolved in that vision of their mission since the day they founded it. But evolution does not stand still. They think because they have the Fifth Epochal Revelation that this is it. Now they have the TRUTH and that’s all there is they need to do—just promote this truth and share it with everybody. Well, you can see now for several generations how that has worked. It’s hardly achieved the global volume it needs to impact the change in human society. Many seeds have been planted and much has come out of it that is good. I’m not taking away from that, but as this nexus point approaches, that alone is not going to take advantage of this moment to the degree that we would like. And yet, there is enough of this community that remains closed-minded, and they remain closed-minded to the possibility of this Fifth Epochal Revelation continuing to evolve with celestial help and communication.

So, a rift has developed between the mainline Urantia communities and the Correcting Time, the Teaching Mission and those of us who gather here to hear celestials speak and that is a great rift. How do you think it can or will be healed in this generation? That would take a tremendous effort. I’m not saying that is what we should focus on. I’m just saying it’s those kinds of differences that need to begin to be broken down. The Urantia Book came through a human contact person which is not a whole lot different than what’s going on right here. The people that received this were basically very much committed to their Christian faith—to the rituals and dogmas of that faith—and in many ways, they just took those dogmas and those rituals and transplanted them upon this revelation, and this revelation then became limited by these dead rituals, these unalive dogmas that replaced the original gospel of Jesus. And even the Fifth Epochal Revelation was not enough to wash away those impediments and allow the gospel of Jesus to shine through. They don’t look within themselves for this power. They outsource that and they think the power is spreading this book all over the world and that’s going to do it, but as you can see it’s not doing it. And if this sounds harsh, it is time now for this community to take stock of themselves as individuals and see how true it resonates within them that they have yet to establish this conscious contact with their indwelling spirit and raised their consciousness to a level of vibration to where it resonates and matches the First Source and Center’s vibration of Love that animates everything.

The many differences in this community can be overcome by the commonality of this idea that Jesus came to give this world, that he himself grew so frustrated about when the world and the people of his day and age could not receive it. He constantly had to adjust his message to those who were in front of him so they could receive it. But this time is different. This is a generation that can receive this original gospel. It can receive the idea that there is a Fatherhood of divinity and unconditional love that supports the brotherhood and sisterhood of humanity. [JT: emphasis mine] It is this love for the Father that will unite this community and help it put aside its differences as they learn to love one another and support one another and find a way to bring this message outside of the echo chamber of the Urantia community where the only door to this community a book—a very dense book, a very cerebral book, a very wonderful book, but one that is not likely to be given a lot of attention by the Millennials and Gen-Z generations of this current world. That should not represent an impediment to the original gospel of Jesus. His gospel is not confined to The Urantia Book revelation. His gospel is meant to motivate, transform, invigorate and inspire every individual who comes in contact with this original restatement of his message so that you can be effective spiritual teachers, spiritual missionaries and spiritual examples to a world so desperately in need of this message. There is an urgency here. This nexus of opportunities will not last in its current form forever, and we must take advantage of it while we can. And if you would think of it like we see it, literally millions of lives hang in the balance because if we miss this window of opportunity and must wait for three, four, or five generations before the opportunity comes again, millions of human beings will perish as cataclysms worsen that could have been ameliorated by our efforts in this moment.

So, we do have an opportunity. There are millions upon millions of celestial beings who have come to Urantia from all over Nebadon and beyond to assist with the reclamation of these planets that were in spiritual rebellion and in spiritual quarantine. There is no end of support, but you are free will creatures and you must come to these decisions on your own and in your own time. And if you cannot do it here during this lifetime, you will do it later. But the ones on the Mansion Worlds that suffer the most, that have the most difficult time accepting the unconditional love of their Father are those that go to the Mansion Worlds with very rigid dogmas and ideas about who God is and what He’s supposed to be. And they have a really hard time letting them go even there. The more you can open your minds, open your hearts, expand your soul and let those old ideas go here, you will progress much faster and will have a much more enjoyable time doing it.

This is what’s before us now, this is the opportunity, and you must see the choices before you and the decisions that you must make without me or any celestials telling you what the best decision is. These are moments of great soul growth potential for each of you. Surely you can find a way to love one another enough to work together. Thank you.

Steffen: Thank you Machiventa. The greatest thing that ever happened to me (and probably the rest of you as well) was finding The Urantia Book, still finding The Urantia Book, still reading it and still learning from it. But one of the things that I learned is that everything evolves, everything progresses, and I cannot understand why there is this rigid wall between us and the Urantia Foundation when they are the keeper of the book that says everything must progress, everything must evolve. It appears to me that The Urantia Book makes it very, very clear and states it in plain words that much of this will be outdated at some point because everything evolves. My question is: why is it that we cannot get that idea across to the people in the Foundation who have, just as you said, locked that book in a box almost as if they don’t read it—they just present it and hold it up as the new dogma to replace the old dogma. My greatest thrill was finding The Urantia Book, and my biggest disappointment in life is watching the Urantia Foundation hold that book as if they own it; it’s theirs and it doesn’t change. How do we change that? We must change that. I see that as the biggest impediment between us and accomplishing our goal of rising to the challenge of this time. Machiventa, do you have any ideas on that? Personally I’d like to find out who is in charge on the other side, sit down and have a talk with them, find out what they are thinking and why they think that way, share with them why we think the way we do and come to some kind of common understanding based on what we’ve all learned through the teachings of The Urantia Book. Those are my thoughts.

MACHIVENTA: This is Machiventa. Thank you, Steffen. Now, if you are to be the spiritual leaders that this world requires, then you need to build credibility within this group and within those that willingly come to support a collective vision for a global communication of this revelation and build a nucleus of work that you can then present with credibility to these people and ask them to comment on it. Ask them what it is about this work do they not agree with, that they can’t support. In that way you can begin a dialogue. You must be merciful in your own attitudes about this resistance given that this generation has grown up with the momentum of the rebellion mindset and it is much engrained in each of you in your enculturation as children in which you had no defense but to incarnate these ideas in your own life. And you’ve had to overcome a great deal to get to where you are. Everyone does this in their own time and in their own way, and there are many in the Urantia movement that have made great progress, but now have run aground just outside this harbor of a new revelation, of a new impetus and they wait for some inspiration, some guidance, some leadership that can help them refloat their boat so to speak and continue on the journey. And so, if this is the group that can do that (and the potential is certainly there) let us talk amongst ourselves of how we might do that. What would be the thing that we can do before we reach out to them and present them with a more unified appeal, show them what we’re doing and ask them what they think about it? How could they support it? And if they say they can’t support it, you must challenge them as to why. And then they must make difficult choices. Does this make sense?

Steffen: It makes perfect sense.

MACHIVENTA: OK. Good. I’m willing to work with each one of you in any way I can to support this collective effort in however it manifests. I’m just hopeful that it will manifest in some form.

Steffen: Thank you Machiventa. That’s very helpful.

Sal: Thank you, Steffen. I agree with everything and your thoughts and your concepts. I’ve been in the Urantia movement now for 35 years and I know Gard Jameson, Mo Siegel, and I know the Foundation and the Fellowship. I’ve been there. And I also know the communication like we have right now to be able to communicate with anybody at any time almost in the now about what’s going on. It bothers me that people don’t see what I see, and I don’t see what you see….let’s play bridge! The Urantia Book—I know the people, I know where they exist and how to move them, how to get things in the way of movement and knowledge about Trump, Harris, governments. All that is going on right now intensely, and there’s where communication right now with a lot of people here. Why can’t we move the pawn, make the next step? I’ll mention Urantia and the friends and all the communication over links. It’s all there. You can’t get people to go there. I say let’s play bridge. Let’s get away from the world. What we are doing now is very important to what our next step is. I don’t know how the rubber meets the road where you are, but I’m bothered. I’ve got a short period of time here. What can we do? I don’t want to get emotional, but I saw Rick Voss, Meredith, Chuck Thurston on a beautiful video, and we had a lot of good people here. How do we move the pawn so that the Fellowship, the Foundation, IUA, EUI—all of us knowledgeable about The Urantia Book start doing something like going door to door [like] Jehovah’s Witnesses, reaching out. The world must know that we are at a critical point right now in what we’re doing. Comment on that.

MACHIVENTA: Yes. Thank you, Sal. And we do appreciate your steadfastness in showing up every meeting without fail. What I would say is that from a marketing point of view…

Sal: Money.

MACHIVENTA: … timing is everything.

Sal: Yes, I understand.

MACHIVENTA: So, I believe that at some point there must be contact with these people. There must be a concerted appeal for cooperation and mutual support. The question is when you would do that. And I think you would need to talk amongst yourselves as to how to craft that message. What would you say to them? What would you be inviting them to…

Sal: I’ve been there. I was with Gard Jameson and Mo when they switched over from the Fellowship to Trustees and they said things are going to change, things are going to change. And I was there when it was “my basketball, you play by my rules.” And that’s what’s going on. Money is power in a certain way, and I don’t know how to deal with people who want to stay in power or not move the pawn forward. When they found out that I was supportive of the Teaching Mission, they blackballed me from the IUA. I don’t want to mention names anymore. I’ve been there. You can’t get these cats to see the same way… I think I’m one of the cats! I don’t want to be a thorn in somebody’s side, but I don’t like what’s going on and I don’t see the celestials coming in and, not choosing sides, but supporting another website. I better keep my mouth shut because I’ve got too much to say, and I don’t know where this is going.

MACHIVENTA: Well, you have a saying on your world from a brilliant mind and it has to do with changing the trajectory of something already in motion. It takes a bigger force to change it. This group of people, that is being shunned by what could rightly be called a cult of The Urantia Book, are potentially that greater force. The current Urantia Book community is happy within their little bubble. They have all the truth they need. They are content with it and the status quo is working for them so they are not open-minded and open-hearted enough yet to hear from anyone else. So, what we must do is create that greater energy movement before we even attempt to interact with them. We must create something that is attractive, that has momentum, that is starting to make a difference—it's succeeding where they have failed. And then, maybe that’s the time. Not only the message but the timing of delivering that message is very important. We see a time in the future where brave souls on each side of this divide will reach across and make bridges, and that will begin the crumbling of this wall. And it will happen because of love. Only love can bridge this gap. So do not be discouraged. Do not be disappointed. If you thought it would be easy to shake off the shackles of a rebellion mindset, think again.

Sal: I agree.

MACHIVENTA: So, we are trying. We fail. Two steps forward and one step backwards. We never give up. It’s kind of like the Chinese water torture test—we keep dripping, keep dripping on their heads new ideas, new ways, and eventually we get through. We are not going away. That must be our attitude. We’re not going to quit.

Sal: Right.

MACHIVENTA: We’re not going to allow others to determine our soul progress. We are moving ahead under the banner of Christ Michael. We are empowered by love. We don’t get into criticisms, we don’t get into blame, we don’t play that game. We have a clear vision. Now we’re going to put this vision on a strong, solid base. And to do that at this moment we need financial support. We must find a way to manifest the means to bring this global messaging platform to a point where it’s ready to show the world. And then a new phase begins for us. This is our focus. This is what we need to do. And when we have it developed to a point where we can show them a Mission Urantia website which is certainly part of the mix that people want to work on, I have no problem with that, no issue with that. Develop it. Show the Foundation and the Brotherhood what we can do with all these teachings that have come since the book was revealed. We have YOAM.life working on a different track—equally exciting and equally visionary. Let us develop that. Let us get that to a point where we can begin to invite people to see it so they can tangibly feel what it is they can support, and then we can use some of this spiritual energy that is just sitting in a potential state to become real, to actualize in this movement and bring it forward. And at that time, when you can get the attention of this community on a broader basis, you can invite an even broader participation. Thank you.

Recca: Thank you for the image of the Chinese water torture. As you said it, I applied it to the Teaching Mission/Correcting Time participants here and now and reversed it and have our website, our digital platform being the spring of the living water bubbling into each person who accesses that site and that dripping water being a source—having them recognize the source. So, I seem to hear you say let’s get our digital house in order here. Let us coalesce around the welling up of the water of life and the inner movement of each person with the meeting of our Adjusters in place in our hearts. I am here willing to participate. I hope we can all come together in this digital platform area that’s going to evolve forward. I have the widow’s mite to contribute, but I have a large heart for this. So, help me all of you together that we move forward on this.

MACHIVENTA: Thank you, Recca. This is Machiventa. We so appreciate what you do Recca. Jesus told his apostles as he watched that widow put her mites in the collection, that she did more for moving the gospel forward than the rich man who stood there, beat his chest, called all kinds of attention to himself and put in a great deal more, but had very little effect on the whole. It is that open heart, that willing heart that will move this forward. The hearts that have this living spiritual connection to the love vibration of the First Source and Center are the hearts that are going to be the nucleus of this.

Now without taking sides, without causing differences I want to ask you all what is your target demographic for this vision? Who is it that you are taking your message to? And the reason that it’s important to consider this, without judgement, is that it has everything to do with how you approach the world. And if you know young people and you speak to them, if you use the buzzwords that we’re all so familiar with within this community, they don’t give you their attention for very long. They don’t know what these words mean, and they are not interested in them. So, when we craft our message, our message must speak to their needs, not to our need to share something with them—to their need to have their fear and their anxieties addressed, to know how hope can be born in their hearts, to know how they can connect with something bigger than themselves that gives them courage. Part of the trouble with missionary movements is that they don’t speak from personal experience. That is a problem with Christianity in its current form right now. They go forth into the world with the “Word of God” and the first thing they hold up like a shield, a lantern, is the Bible—their Holy scripture. It doesn’t really do a lot for the expansion of their message and as a matter of fact most of the churches that were built upon this sort of approach are largely empty of newer generations coming there and are in danger of literally not being able to pay the utilities let alone ministers and preachers to maintain themselves.

So, if you just replace the Bible with The Urantia Book but take a similar approach, it’s no stretch of the imagination to see that the results would be much the same. So how would you approach the next generation with these ideas and craft your message in such a way that they want to know and hear more, that satisfies the need of their souls and feeds them. And that is the challenge. You are up to it. You have people involved with you that understand how to do this. But there comes a point within each of us that we have to make that transition from looking outside of ourselves for the power to do this and have the faith and the courage to know the power is within us. We don’t need The Urantia Book. We don’t need the Teaching Mission transcripts. We have them and we should use them, but what we need are individuals who are being transformed from within by this living power of the Love of the heavenly Father to speak from their heart and craft this message in a way that does not need to lean on the crutches of the buzzwords of the Fifth Epochal Revelation and the Correcting Time, but that instead can lean upon their own understanding and experience and speak to the next generation in such a way that they listen, that they hear us. And if they continue to pay attention and to seek, they will eventually be led to the source documents so they can further their education and their growth. But I would ask you, are these source documents the very first thing you would share with people? Or would you share with them your testimony and your understanding and use these ideas that are in these source documents to attract them before you lay a heavy cosmology upon them. These are just some thoughts for you to consider in your private time and in your collective conversations with one another. Thank you.

Steffen: If we’re talking to young people, young people are worried about opportunity. Young people are worried about climate change. Young people are worried about the conflicts that are going on in the world. And it seems to me that if we were to approach them something along the lines of “How would we make more opportunities for young people in this world?” We could open a conversation. “How would we craft a world that no longer needs to have conflict and war?” We could craft a conversation. Issues around equality, issues around climate change—these are the things young people are focused on, that they have a tremendous amount of anxiety about. Materialism is another one. Isn’t it true that this world has gone off the charts on materialism? “Is that the best way for us to be?” opens a conversation with many of them. And it leads back around to the things that we now know, but as Machiventa is saying, we don’t lead with that. What we do is look at what their concerns are, and then invite a conversation, invite a dialogue on how to address those concerns. What would be the solutions for going forward and eradicating or enhancing or whatever it is that we want to do? Machiventa, is that along the lines of what you are thinking?

MACHIVENTA: Now you are getting to the heart of the matter: how do you thread the needle? And the needle that you are trying to thread with your message is how do you make it attractive enough to the new generation without just becoming another secular voice in the wilderness offering secular solutions? The point I’m trying to make here is this is a spiritual endeavor. This is a spiritual process. What has transformed your lives is a spiritual relationship. The power to transform human culture and civilization is spiritual—not secular. So, we don’t strip these ideas down to the point where we make them devoid of talking about spiritual ideas, we just talk about spiritual ideas without having to dress them up in a lot of the buzzwords of this revelation. The revelation doesn’t go away. The revelation will eventually be discovered by these individuals when they are of a capacity to receive it and to use it which they are not right now. So how do we talk about spiritual matters—matters of the heart and the soul—in a way that appeals to them, that can resonate with them? Because you must remember they are, all of them, indwelt with a Thought Adjuster. They have the spirit within them. We make this appeal not to their minds, but to the spirit, and we must not shy away from making this a spiritual appeal, we just don’t want to make it an institutional appeal. We are individuals gathered together because of our individual love for the Father, for His spirit within us, and when we are filled with that love it naturally spills over and seeks an outlet into this world. Now we want to take this individual energy and focus it much like a magnifying glass focuses the sunlight. And when we do that, we will find a glad reception, but it’s also a challenge, one that will take every bit of your working together with your individual Thought Adjusters, gathering new spiritual insights about how to do this, learning from mistakes and moving ahead even when we fall. The question is will we get up again and move forward? Thank you.

JT: Any final words for us today Machiventa?

MACHIVENTA: Thank you all so very much for coming here today. This is the kind of conversation and discussion I am hoping to foster because it’s a co-creative process. It’s a back and forth, it’s a sharing of ideas. So, I’m grateful for this opportunity and I thank you for it. I bless each and every one of you as you wrestle with how to overcome the inertia of individualism and separation and reach out to each other as brothers and sisters and learn how to see beyond the individual flaws of each other and see the talents that are represented here that when pooled can do great work. I wish you well. Thank you.

All: Thank you.
