Machiventa Melchizedek, Planetary Manager
Transmitter/Receiver: John Morris
September 04, 2023
MACHIVENTA: Good morning. This is Machiventa. I am pleased once again to join you as you have made ready the space and conditioned the environment for me to participate with you. There is much to do. Let us begin. Do not be dismayed by the many facets of our work. There is much that you do not understand, and much for you to learn. Allow yourself the luxury of patience and faith. We are engaged in the colossal effort to turn the tide of rebellion around and chart the course toward Light and Life. We use every avenue open to us to promote this work. There is a changing of the guard taking place within this generation. As many of you transition to Mansonia, we need to preserve the work of this generation so that it is available to the succeeding generations that will come after. While many of you are still present on Urantia we would see a firm foundation put under the work that has been done to assure that it is available for the next generation. This is one of our main focuses at the moment. The record of the Teaching Mission and the Magisterial Mission under the umbrella of the Correcting Time is a part of the Fifth Epochal Revelation of The Urantia Book. There are many competing narratives on your world attempting to explain what is happening. What these narratives miss is the revelation of the indwelling Spirit of the Creator that lives within the minds and hearts of every normal-minded mortal. It is this spirit that holds the key for the redemption of Urantia. This and the restated example of Christ Michael as he lived and walked this world as Jesus of Nazareth is what is most needed to be understood by the inhabitants of Urantia. The chronicling of this work has been done on many websites. The originators of these sites are ageing and will soon transition. Our question is, what will happen to these websites and this work? Who will preserve these efforts, so they are available for future generations? Will they be allowed to fade away for lack of maintenance and attention? This work must not only be preserved, it must be added to. Within this body of work is the information that will be used to formulate the philosophy of social sustainability for the coming transition to an era of peace and prosperity. The foundation must be preserved as we move forward toward this new beginning for our world. This is what we are asking of you at this time. There will come a time for developing programs and curriculum from this body of knowledge and the creation of organizations to promote it. But in this moment, how will this work be made available to them? The foundation we are asking you to create must have the priority to preserve this already created body of work so that in the coming cataclysms it does not disappear. This is only one purpose of the creation of an entity that can see to it that these many websites that contain the record of the transcripts of this era are available for the next generation. Other purposes will become clear as we progress in our co-creative efforts. In the process of creating this structure to preserve this work, do not neglect your personal responsibility to grow your own relationship to your own Thought Adjuster. This is the secret of the power to do this work—individually and collectively. Now is the time to commit to the cultivation of conscious contact with your Spirit so you are guided to the most efficient application of your efforts to achieve the Will of your Creator for your life. The mutual benefits for you, personally, as well as the welfare of the whole will then be assured. As you raise the vibration of your vessel, the effect of the surrounding environment will be uplifting, and will assist in attracting the energy needed to promote and complete your task. Doing the Will of our Creator is always a mutually beneficial process. In your service, you receive as well as give. Let our relationship be one of increasing joy and happiness. We are privileged to serve our sovereign Christ Michael. He is always with us. Remember to acknowledge Him and join Him in worship of our Creator as we journey towards the Days of Light and Life. That is my opening statement to this group this morning. Now, if you have questions, I would be happy to answer them.
JT: Thank you Machiventa. I have a written question from Marty. He asks whether you (Machiventa) believe there is currently sufficient spiritual foundation for the widespread acceptance now for the proposition that we humans are indwelt by a Divine Fragment and that there is also sufficient widespread willingness for a sizable portion of the world’s population to actually engage in the efforts to connect with and be guided by such a presence.
MACHIVENTA: Thank you for your question. There is no doubt in our mind that the time is right for a more public expression of what we are doing. We must cultivate the greater environment to be ready for us, and the only way we can do that is cultivating that faith and awareness in each one of us. You will recall that our Master had 12 people (really 24 when you think of the women’s corps) but a very small nucleus of people when He left this world—and He relied on this small corps of individuals. And as the record shows, they had a tremendous impact on the course of this world that reverberates down through several millennia—even to this day. So, we do not gain the field in terms of waiting until there is an obvious majority or even a large minority of people ready for this work. It is our work to help them get ready for it. So, yes, the time is now. Yes, there are sufficient people that can respond, but they need something to be called to. So, this is in effect, a call to arms if you will—a rallying of troops to come together and to begin the concerted effort to preserve the work that’s been done so that it can be promoted and people can have a place to search this teaching, this work that’s being done and has been done so that they can in turn find a way to participate with us. Thank you.
JT: He also wants your best guidance now on whether this group would better serve the interests of your and Michael’s plan if it initially focused on introducing and encouraging people to engage with their Adjusters, or would it be more productive to focus our attention on the value of the principles of social sustainability.
MACHIVENTA: There are many phases to work like this. On one hand, in a public sense we are looking to create a brand, so to speak, from a marketing perspective. And part of that appeal to people who are beginning a personal journey is to appeal to their interest in social issues. So, social sustainability and the 7 Core Values are a big part of that. In our personal ministry it is really important to find a way to allow people to know that the spiritual process is not one of following some dogma or theology that, frankly, they can’t get behind, but that it is personal. It’s personal to them, and it is right now for them. As soon as they take a moment and exercise enough faith to go within and seek within, they begin to reap the benefits of that. So, it is both, and it certainly depends on individual effort in local communities as well as a collective effort with this core group of mature students to do this work. Thank you.
Bob: Machiventa, I was wondering if it’s good to include the 7 Core Values and also spiritual foundations in the vision and mission statements of this group.
MACHIVENTA: Thank you for your question, Bob. It is not necessary to single out any particular facet of this work in your foundational organization papers or in your mission statement. What is necessary is that this whole body of work be a focus of one of your purposes and missions to accomplish. Since 1985 there has been a great deal of effort put in from the Teaching Corps, the Magisterial Mission, from me and my staff, and many, many beings that have come to Urantia to assist us. That work must not fade into oblivion and become unavailable. So, in your mission statement as well as promoting social sustainability in a general sense, it is the work of all of this that has gone before that must be a part of your intention to not only preserve, but there is some work to do to look at the way this is being done and has been done to see if it can be improved upon—to see if it can be organized and made accessible to those who haven’t had the benefit of decades of reading these transcripts and listening to T/Rs talk and present this material to be able to access it in a way that is meaningful to them so that they can find their connections. So, to focus on a social aspect of this work, is probably to put effort to where it is premature. The current civilization is slowly but surely decaying and falling apart, and there will come a time when people will be very interested in and curious about new ideas about how to socially organize themselves, their communities, and their countries to move forward in a sustainable way. But what we need in order for that to be successful is a critical mass of individual human beings on the world who have matured spiritually to a point where they would be willing to set aside their personal needs and interests in the material, to participate in the grander vision of service, of helping others, of being empathetic, and really being willing to live their personal lives based on the Golden Rule—simply do unto others as you would like others to do unto you; do not see others as a means to an end and take advantage of them for personal gain. So, all of this work supports that—points to that—as well as the individual developing their own personal contact. So, the broad umbrella is to include all of it and not particularly emphasize social sustainability as a key component of this other that in a general sense. Now, having said that, there is a beautiful website that Liz has put together with Jeff called 7CoreValues.org. That’s one of the websites that definitely needs to be preserved under the umbrella of this organization and preserved as a special focus of this work because there will be many people whose inroad into the larger part of this work is in terms of the Teaching Mission and transcripts that have to do with particular aspects of a more personal spiritual practice. That will be their gateway into that, so it’s important work, and we’ve spent a great deal of time working with Daniel and those on my staff to prepare this work. So, it is not to be buried within a large body of work and be difficult to find by any means, but it is definitely a part of all of this. And people will choose on their own how they come into this work and how they relate to it. I hope that helps you, Bob.
Bob: On behalf of the whole group, thank you very much.
Deborah: Hi Machiventa. So, I’m hearing that you really want us to emphasize on preserving all the transcripts from all the different groups that have existed. We know there are websites that already do this: Light and Life, Teaching Mission network, and so on. You’re asking us to rethink how to organize those transcripts and I’m wondering if you mean topical organization so that people that have an interest in deepening their spiritual connection would be able to go to transcripts that address that topic, and those who want to learn more about social sustainability would be able to access those. So, I just want some confirmation that you would like us to re-think how it’s organized. And right now, they’re on a virtual platform which could be destroyed so do you want us to back this up with hard copies? Should we aim to get some of these in the library? That’s my thought, and I would like to hear your comments on it. Thank you.
MACHIVENTA: Yes, thank you for your question. It gets to the heart of my message to you today. It’s both/and. There are websites and if you take a good look at BigMacspeaks.org, it’s an example of a website that allows people to search those transcripts by topic, by date, by who the T/R is, and who the celestial personality is. And that allows a great deal of flexibility. And there are also links there directly to Daniel’s papers and works that people can find and download. That website is a good example of how to create an opportunity for people to connect to this work. There are many links to other websites on that site, and there are also many transcripts—thousands of them—in that database that are not yet connected for people to search, and there is much valuable information in all that. There was unfinished work there when Ray transitioned, and that is an example of work that has been done that is important and needs to be preserved. We do not have to reinvent the wheel from scratch. People have done a great deal of work along these lines and have been led to do so. So now, we are trying to lead this generation into continuing that work, but also to preserve it. If it resides on a server somewhere on the internet, and if something would happen to that building where the servers were in and they were destroyed, the question you would want to ask yourself is, what would happen to that work? Would it simply disappear? Or can it be preserved in a form where it is downloaded onto individual computers someplace where it’s on hard drives that are able to be backups and be used to restore websites and to recreate them rather easily without having to take hard copies and re-enter them into data. That would be an onerous task to even gather up all the hard copies. I don’t think that’s necessary, but it would be good to have this preserved off site so that if something happened to the websites where this information resides, these websites could be recreated fairly easily and quickly without having to start from scratch. Does that help you?
Deborah: Yes, that helps. I understand now.
MACHIVENTA: OK. Thank you for your question.
Deborah: Thank you.
Marthe: Thank you very much Machiventa. It is such a privilege to hear you also speak through John. I have two questions. One of them is about the structure. You spoke about the two beautiful websites—the sustainability one and the There is a Plan one. You also spoke about the need for an umbrella organization; something that could contain all the other organizations, and I was just wondering if the There is a Plan title is big enough to be that umbrella or do we need something above that because it’s such a powerful statement and could also be the name of an organization. So, I guess I’m looking at the hierarchy. How much more umbrella do we need to get? Do we just need one level above all of the existing organizations and websites? Could There is a Plan become the name of an organization that is that umbrella organization?
MACHIVENTA: Good morning, or in your case, good evening Marthe. Thank you for your question. It’s also a pleasure to talk with you. There is no intention or willingness on our side to tell you how to do this, and it is part of your process to work together to determine what the needs are and how to go about that. You could start by talking to the people that own these websites and asking for their input; how do we create an organization that can work to preserve these websites to provide resources so that they can have the ability to do backups. Where would that backup reside? Do these organizations maintain their own control of the websites they’ve created, or do they relinquish that to a larger organization at some point? What happens when people who created these websites transition? Is there a succession plan for managing and maintaining them? Those are all questions you will have to work through and then allow that process to dictate what kind of organization can best assist in the accomplishment of this? ThereisaPlan.org is a blank website right now, and it would serve as a wonderful umbrella website to not only make it very clear that there is a planetary government here to assist mortals, but that there is also a great deal of existing help they can access and find ways to that through There is a Plan. There again, that all depends on how all of you, in conjunction with your Thought Adjusters, can envision it. I do not mean to be evasive, but I would refrain from giving direct [inaudible] of what might be interpreted as instructions because that would only create problems in the organizations—where people would agree or disagree upon an interpretation of what they feel is a mandate. So, our requests are broad, they are general, and then we wait and watch to see what you do and then comment and help provide direction as we go along. I hope that helps, Marthe.
Marthe: It certainly does. Thank you Machiventa. I do have a second question, and that is about the relationship between conscious contact and all the teachings we’ve heard about Learning Centers for Sustainable Families. For those people who had very poor examples of families of not being loved, of not being nurtured, who have struggled with their [inaudible] because of that, is the practice of conscious contact and examples of best parenting enough to heal the deficiencies in their own being, or should we focus entirely on healing because of the terrible effect of Apartheid on family structures? I am wondering between best practices of showing to parenting one’s own practice of looking for one’s own weaknesses and asking for guidance from one’s indwelling spirit, is there still a massive need for healing worldwide for people who have experienced that inadequate or absent parenting? Thank you very much.
MACHIVENTA: Yes, thank you for your question Marthe. There is a huge need on our world for conscious parenting, for sustainable parenting, for a generation of children to grow up in homes that are sustainable and emphasize what it takes to be sustainable. The question is, how are we going to get there? Those families are very few and far between on this world, and while it would be a wonderful body of work to come in the future to gather all these best practices up and make them available in a way that is easily assimilated by those who come into contact with this information, in order to get there on a large scale it really is going to have to happen, by and large, through people’s conscious contact with their own indwelling Spirit. Having not been raised in a sustainable family (and this goes back many generations) the healing that needs to take place is within each of those individuals—that they become healed; that they become aware of how loveable they are; how their creator Loves them unconditionally—and when they can learn to accept themselves as being worthy of this unconditional Love, then they can begin to overcome the deficiencies of their early childhood development and just be adults and be unconditionally loving so that when they become parents, they begin this process of raising children in an unconditionally loving environment. So, it’s kind of a both/and. There are examples around the world of sustainable families, and it does help to put this information out there, but people needn’t wait for a mass movement of that kind to grow into becoming sustainable individuals and being capable of being sustainable parents. The real healing will take place within them individually as they grow in recognition of their own relationship to spirit. Thank you.
Marthe: Thank you so much. That was very beautiful.
JT: Machiventa, do you have a closing for us?
MACHIVENTA: Yes. This is Machiventa. As you well know, this is a new process for this group. As we try to move forward and accomplish tasks, it’s very important that we remain in a state of blessing—of blessing one another, of blessing ourselves—and accepting that this is a difficult task. This is something that is not going to happen overnight, but by the sustained effort of devoted individuals who understand how we work, who understand what their own relationship to this work can do over time if you only persevere. There is great help for everyone in going within and in seeking conscious contact with their own indwelling Spirit, intending to do the Will of God, asking for direction, and to be guided to do that. Done on an individual basis, the collective holism of a group of individuals commonly devoted to this cause can have great effect. So, we encourage each of you in your daily life to set aside time to go within and to seek this guidance, and to continue to count on our support and Christ Michael’s support for there are many unseen celestials working with you and walking beside you who have great interest and are available to assist when and wherever necessary to see this come to fruition. Thank you, and until we meet again, I wish you all to be in my peace and my love. Good day.
JT: Thank you Machiventa and thank you John.
