🙏 Opening Prayer – Marthe

Most High God of Universes, who indwells our human minds, Thought Adjuster ours, Beloved Eternal Companion, we are the children of Your divine intention. We thank You for this universe in which we find ourselves, and its spiritual contours. We thank you for the teachers we have, for the example of Christ Michael, Mother Nebadonia, our Planetary Prince, Machiventa, our Magisterial Son, Monjoronson, and all the other teachers, Sondjah Melchizedek, all the other teachers we’ve had access to all these years. We thank you for the Midwayers, and we thank you for our awareness of the billions of years of history and its spiritual import and purpose.

We thank you now for the opportunity to listen to one of our celestial teachers. We thank the presence of Seni, all the way from New Zealand, in the cold hours of the morning. Please help us create a group that could truly become a global group to honour Your divine intentions and to unfold Your divine purpose on this planet at this time. We express our gratitude with the presence of all the spiritual teachers amongst us. Help us open our minds so that we may understand what we’re being taught. Amen.

🎙️ Address – Machiventa Melchizedek

Good day. This is Machiventa Melchizedek your planetary manager. I thank you for your prayer in this opening in this time of quiet, where we can approach each of you separately and assist you in this session today, as we do throughout the day and the week, and the months and years. Yes, speaking for myself and the Most Highs, we now have established full confidence in Friday’s Team. This Friday’s Team is now the recipient of the largesse of the beneficence of the Most Highs, and they have begun the implementation of their planetary program.

You have noted that your group represents several continents and various places around the world. This will expand, and some individuals will show up unexpectedly. They will show up, be present, and join your group. Begin them as observers, as you say, and let them decide whether they want to join and whether they can be of assistance to the group.

We thank you for your presence here today and your faithfulness to be here each time that we meet. This is an important ingredient of the faithfulness of your commitment to our work, Christ Michael’s work, and we thank you for that.

Yes, we also appreciate the hard copy written, transcribed sessions that are so tedious for you to do. We apologize for the difficulty of doing so. This will become easier in the future.

You see, it is one thing to have recordings and artificial intelligence interpretations and summations, but it is quite another, when one wants to find the exact words and the exact wording to analyze the meanings behind the words that are shared with you. You can anticipate that the transcripts from today and prior transcripts from the last 30 years or so will be perused very closely by individuals in the future.

You see, we are beginning the new era of your civilization. We are beginning with you to start to design that civilization. It is important that this civilization now exists with an intention, with a plan, and that there is a process of awareness of the larger necessity that each individual make a meaningful contribution in their lives for the survival of their children, their societies, and your civilization.

Humanity has been given the largesse of spirit for its existence for hundreds of thousands of years, and now it is payback time. It is time for humanity now to honor the commitment to help this planet survive.

We, the spiritual realm, have upheld this diligently, faithfully, for hundreds of thousands of years, and now it is time for you to learn how to care for the planet just as we do. It requires a commitment to the positive and constructive development of plans to assist the maturity and developmental evolution of family structures, social institutions, and the sciences that attend to those social sciences. It is important that this be done faithfully in time.

During this Co-Creative era, we are working with you intimately to bring about the positive development of your civilization on this planet. You are, and we are, planting the seeds of your new societies and your civilization that will become and bloom as the Days of Light and Life, where whole societies are settled and at peace. Your social, political, and economic activities all work together to make a coherence in your society. The next step is to create coherence of societies around the world.

On Earth, Urantia, it is very difficult to do, and will take abnormally long periods of time to accomplish compared to those worlds which are regular; nine-tenths of the type of planets throughout Nebadon that have a plan given by the celestials, the architects of Nebadon, and Christ Michael and his executive staff. Your planet is an exception in the greatest extreme. It is one that will be the greatest challenge for other planets to emulate, which are also decimal planets.

What we’re learning from you, your world, your societies, your people, your civilization, are the shortcuts, the means by which we can lead individuals, groups of individuals, and whole societies into the Days of Light and Life without being overt. Yes, we do operate covertly in the minds of many people. We use persuasion to assist individuals to be inclined to the positive, to the constructive, the enlightenment and the spiritual development of themselves and the world.

It is our wish that your societies provide a safe place for families to exist, for communities to work together with families, so that families are revered and respected, and that parents are given the opportunities to learn their roles in parenting and childcare. Child rearing is not an easy subject on a difficult planet.

It is something that will be resisted by many, as they will term it as interference. Yet many people, most people, like to be happy. Happiness begins in the family. Happiness begins in families that are stable, peaceful, and kind. It also teaches the children the right mental attitudes and perspectives of others.

It is not easy to learn a new ethic, but we will teach you. You have the materials now to learn this new ethic. This is the ethic that will bring about coherence in families, communities, societies, and your whole civilization. This is something that is necessary for your world to accomplish. Each individual has a moral and spiritual responsibility to attend to their responsibilities, to assist in that process.

Secondly, it is necessary also to diminish those negative influences on your planet. Your societies, whether they are totalitarian or democratic, with their representation, have been too naive, too permissive, to allow those people and individuals to create social and personal disruption. Millions of your people have suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to childhood abuse, adult abuse, and violence on the streets and where they work, and so on. This is not to be tolerated. You, as moral individuals, have a responsibility to diminish this negative influence in your families, your communities, your societies, nations, and the world.

Now, reflect upon that on the international scene right now. You live in a very hostile world. There are hostile dictators and authoritarian regimes which are truant. They are out of order; they are miscreants who cause great trouble to the people who want peace and who want to be settled and safe. This, too, will come to an end, though there will be great travesty that will occur before those miscreants are removed.

I, just a moment ago, mentioned about ethics, about morality and values. It is important that your ethical understandings are mature. You have a personal morality and ethic. You have a social morality and ethic. But what is lacking, hugely lacking, is a societal ethic and morality, where society must be protected for its own good. Society is a social organism; it needs to be protected just as your pets need to be protected.

The ravages of crime and moral degeneration are anathema to a stable society. You must bring about the maturity of your ethical and moral development. It is an evolution, and once you have worked on that, you will see the necessity of working on an international ethic and morality, and then, finally, a planetary ethic and morality.

These are not platitudes; these are not suggestions to you. These are really a requirement that you attend to these responsibilities, beginning now. We know that you would like to play with your organizations and develop your programs for doing this and that. Right now, your resources are limited. There are very few of you, and you have almost no financial means to support your activities. Yet your minds are free. Your minds are active. They can be working in concert with each other in team settings across the Zoom program.

If you have not, then you need to read the work that Avalah Melchizedek and this one have written on: Making Sense of Ethics and read it page by page, until you have read the whole document. Then you’ll be ready to discuss social ethics and morality and finally societal ethics and morality.

When I ask you to do this, I direct you to do this. I am not leaving you without difficulty and alone. You will find a very difficult situation when it comes to societal morality. You must think through this. You must think of the morality of a settled planet, and so you will be imaginative in the solutions that you develop.

As you have noted, Seni [Seni has joined our group for the 1st time, he lives in New-Zealand] showed up out of the blue, so to speak, and so did Steffen Patrick. He also showed up out of the blue. You will have more and more individuals who just show up. They are being called. They have something to offer.

For those in far distant places, these will be outposts of our work, which we will eventually tend to and grow into larger groups, so that they have Family Learning Centers as we will have here in this nation and in Europe, South Africa, Mexico, and Venezuela.

These are challenges. There will be very great difficulties for you to establish those communities in difficult nations and regimes. You must then do so, not subversively, but you must do that under the cover of secrecy, so that you are not punished. You see, our message is one of peace, our message is one of equality. We are all of the same gender, and species. I’m a Melchizedek, but I am your teacher and your advisor, and I’m teaching you, advising you to become one in the wholeness of your world.

This is something far different than the competitive environment in which you were raised, where you compete with yourself, each other, teams, groups, associations, and nations. I am not an autocrat. It’d be paradoxical, wouldn’t it, for me to say enough of that. We’re going to stop that. But we cannot. This is an experiential world where we are learning experientially with you as you go through the tragedies and travesties of humans, mortals who are spirit-led, living on a very difficult planet that has only recently come out of rebellion.

This is Machiventa, know that I love you. Know that I care about you, and when I say “I,” I am speaking of that “I” as the First Source and Center. Good day.

💬 Group Interaction

Thank you, Machiventa, thank you, Daniel.

Machiventa: This is Machiventa, if you have questions, please raise them now.

Kona’s Question

Thank you, Machiventa, this is Kona. Thank you for the message on ethics. Of course, you know, I had lots of questions about that coming into today’s session anyway. On our planet, we have many philosophies around ethics and decision making. My question is: is the process of our decision making going to shift based on this work by Avalah through Daniel? Or are we still going to use or adapt other decision-making processes, which we already have on the planet through deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics, and Christian ethics? Are those going to shift? Is there a different way of making decisions ethically? Thank you. That’s my question.

Machiventa’s Response

Thank you for your question. Our process is not to shift to fit those philosophies, or ideologies, or ethics. We are on a hard course forward using the seven innate values that are innate to the human genome and the ethic and morality that are subsequent to those seven values. Those values underlie all the decisions that will become ethical and moral. The rules of ethical and moral decision-making look to the seven values to see what benefits humanity and what does not, what benefits the individual and what does not.

These are the tried-and-true values that are used on billions of planets throughout the universe. The protection of life is essential. The nurturance of equality is vital to social equality and morality and ethics in all regards. To have people grow individually, they must have societies that grow and evolve as well. The key to this is to have empathy and to have compassion for those who are lesser than you and less fortunate to have the benefits of a more stable society. And of course, combining those two values, secondary values teach you to love all humanity as one.

Whether those other philosophies, ideologies, and ethics change or not is something that is up to those individuals. We know our course forward, and we will not deviate. Thank you.

Kona’s Question

Thank you, Machiventa. The challenge that I have in viewing decision making is some people will make decisions that impact themselves and not look at the greater good, where it sounds like the decision making that you’re asking us to do is to look at the greater good. So how might we have that conversation with someone who, let’s say, they’re looking at themselves and developing themselves and their virtue? How might we have that conversation with them to see the greater good rather than just looking at themselves?

Machiventa’s Response

 The How is your problem, not ours. What you must look at is the personal ethics, social ethics, societal ethics, and international ethics. There lies your answers. Once you understand how this ethic and morality work, you will know HOW to address that individual.

And for everyone, remember that ethics deals with relationships between the individual and others, whether that’s another individual, a social group, society, the nation, an association of nations, or your planet. Morality, on the other hand, has to do with life and the conditions of life and living. This makes it very simple this way. We do not get into an intellectual argumentation about ethics and morality and what they mean. The meaning is very clear.

To violate a rule of ethics means that you are considering yourself first before others, whether the considerations are for yourself, your associated group, your nation, your ethnic group, your racial group, or a cultural group. It makes it very clear that because of the primary value of equality, you must treat everyone equally. This is going to be very hard for other people to wrap their heads around. You are already speaking of a cognitive dissonance where people are not able to use this kind of languages, these kinds of values, and even understand the basic tenets of this very simple ethic and morality. Thank you.

Jacques’ Question

Machiventa, I have a question. You speak here about the lack of international ethics and morality. And this is a big, big problem for our work. We try to promote ethics, morality, and the seven values in decision making. But when we look at the politics now in the US, even in France today, Venezuela, and the rest of the world, it seems that those who are governing today are completely out of the scope of everything. They don’t understand. They are far from this decision making for the best of everybody.

So, for us, as humans, as you can see from above, it’s a very difficult pressure we find around us. We have understood from you that we need to start by  the family first, local community, and then we will go up. But we don’t see today, and this is my question, we don’t see today how to cope with these political people.

Machiventa’s Response

Thank you, Jacques. This is Machiventa Melchizedek. You are a very forward thinker. You think in terms of nations and their aggressions. You think of groups of individuals and of nations. Really, if you don’t understand and don’t practice these ethics as an individual, then you will never be able to convince anyone else that you are right and that your point of view of oneness with all others is the correct view that will lead to eternal life.

You are concerned about the mortal life of individuals, and this is a concern that is intimate to your own personal life. You share that with your family, your children, and your neighbours. You wish to start at the end and change everything. You want to know what to do to cover your floor with a beautiful grand Persian rug, for example, and you want to see how to do that. But the first place to begin is to learn to weave and learn how to make a loom. You start with a very small rug that you could use as a placemat on your table or to lie under the centrepiece on your dining room table.

To begin with, taking on the task of weaving a room-sized rug of great proportions and great intricacy is one that stops a person from even trying. We’re striving to entice you to try where you are. Begin with yourself. Begin with someone you can argue philosophically with, someone you can sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and discuss an ethical problem. Then begin to apply the rules of ethical decision making and interpretation to your subject matter with your friend. This is how you begin. This is how we advise you to begin.

It is essential that children learn this new method of ethics, of making sound ethical argumentation where they can feel confident in what they’re doing. If your end result is peace, then begin with peace within yourself. Understand what resists peace and work with that. Thank you.

Jacques’ Question

Thank you, Machiventa. I have another question. You spoke about the arrival of Seni and also Steffen Patrick recently. You remember in the past we had contact with our good friend from Russia, Godwin. We stopped discussing with him since a few months. I wonder if it would be time to share with him our transcript again, because Russia is a big continent and so, like us, they have to prepare for something for the future. So, do you think it’s a good opportunity to start talking again with Godwin in Russia?

Machiventa’s Response

Machiventa. Thank you for your question. Yes, and of course, do so, please. The difficulty is, will the Russian infrastructure allow him to do that? Will he be permitted to use the Internet for those purposes? We believe that this is the largest stumbling block that we have for penetrating those Communist countries and totalitarian countries where outside influences are verboten, are forbidden. Thank you.

Marthe’s Question

Thank you, Machiventa. I have a question and thanks for your presence here. Just before we started this meeting, one of my African colleagues came to me and she said six ideas popped into her head today whereby she wants to start a business to help hundreds of thousands or millions of unemployed women. I just wondered, it is clear, obviously, before we start anything like that, we’ll need to do conscious contact and ask for guidance. But I was just wondering if the time is now before things might collapse to start such a project, and if she starts such a project, whether she’ll be assisted by her celestial helpers, based on the purity of her intentions. Thank you very much.

Machiventa’s Response

This is Machiventa. You know already, Marthe, do you not, that your friend is already surrounded by celestial helpers. Do not doubt that. You do not need to ask for that. That is something that she must generate herself. We know that you know that you praying for her is sufficient for us to initiate assistance with her. She is a believer already, and so she has helpers already, in fact, around her.

And again, her project is very much like weaving a room-sized rug. She must begin where she is, by helping one individual, and then several of her colleagues, to do exactly what she wants to do. We know it is a human penchant for those who see possibilities to want to achieve the end first. It is much like informing your President that he is out of bounds, or that he or she is working on the wrong topics, putting the resources in the wrong places. Well, that’s very wonderful to do, but that is just another one of your, phantasmal fantasies, a dream that you wish would come true. It must begin with the individual.

How is your lovely friend doing for herself? And does she have any success stories for herself that she could share with others to find the employment and begin the businesses that she wants? Begin small, please. This is how we will change your world, by beginning small. We begin with children. We began with you a long time ago, and see where you have come from. Thank you.

Seni’s Question

Machiventa, my question is, what brings you, what stirMachiventa, my question is, what brings you, what stirred you, Machiventa, to bring me to this group? Why me? Why here, why now?

Machiventa’s Response

Thank you for your question. Well, my friend, if you had a farm and you were given a neThis is Machiventa Melchizedek, thank you for your question. Well, my friend, if you had a farm and you were given a new tractor and the implements to use it, and you had large open fields, would you not want to use that tractor to plant the fields and assist in your producing food for yourself and income food for others? Yes, of course, you’d be very eager to do that.

Well, my friend, do not underestimate our abilities. We surpass capabilities with our abilities to view people of light, literally of spiritual light. As we see your world, we see the points of light. You were a bright light in the Pacific. We have been following your work for almost all of your life, if not before. Your Thought Adjuster is a primary element in identifying you for us to identify you as a capable individual. And yes, we did persuade you in your mind. Of all the options you had at the time, we persuaded you to take the best option. You made the decision. We just persuaded you. Thank you

---

Daniel’s Reflection

This is Machiventa, we appreciate and thank you for your presence here today. Do not be surprised that as this group grows, it will grow faster. And so, it is our hope that you would be able to provide a means by which many people can listen in. It may be difficult for our moderator, a facilitator, to attend to many dozens, hundreds of people. But there’s an opportunity and there is a means by which that can be made available to assist you.

We ask you to look into that possibility because it is our wish that we would deluge you with many opportunities to expand this work. It may be that you would need further individuals to use my presence and that of other teachers to guide the discussion of this work. As one of the requirements you will need if you want to become active international channels is to know the materials that we will be using, to know them thoroughly.

The documents we have provided to you for democracy, for ethics, for family, and so on, is the program of bringing about the new era of your civilization. It is important that you understand these things, just as you may want to buy a new sewing machine, to learn to sew and to embroider and to hem, and so on and make repairs. You would read the manual, and you would want to become proficient at using that machine.

Well, we have created a social spiritual machine for you to use. It is important that you begin to learn the rudiments of using that spiritual social machine. This is Machiventa. I wish you a good day. You are blessed. Thank you.

Group

Thank you, Machiventa, thank you, Daniel.

Daniel’s Response

Okay, Machiventa is not giving us much slack. He sees you as highly accomplished as spiritual individuals who can participate socially and spiritually in a group of this dimension and this dynamic. He’s eminently patient, and he’s been patient for 25-30 years, plus. And now he is holding us to a higher standard for our behavior and our words. Yes, Kona

---

Kona’s Follow-up

Daniel, he brought up for us to prepare for the possibility of many people being here at once, and just like Seni is here, at 3 o’clock in the morning. He spoke about channels. Is he talking about other TRs who will channel him? Is he looking at us having more time with you? Do you have a sense of what we should prepare for, or should we just wait for further instructions?

Daniel’s Response

Now you used Seni and Machiventa in the same sentence paragraph. And you referred to, you said “he.” Who is the “he”?

Kona

Okay, I’m sorry. Let me clarify. So Machiventa said through you that he is bringing more people. He wants us to prepare for having hundreds of people in a Zoom call or available for a conversation with him, Machiventa. So, my question is: is that going to require more TRs for Machiventa? More opportunities? So, it’s not just on Friday, you know, once a week. We need to prepare for Machiventa and TRs at other periods of time, and then be able to, just like we have this Zoom, to accommodate many more people coming in. Is that clear? Is that what I’m understanding correctly?

Daniel

 Yes, but don’t make the mistake that there’ll be a hundred people next week online. This is a developmental process of growth. And if you understand human motivation as Avalah has explained it, you’ll realize that when people are motivated, when one standard of satisfaction is removed from them, they will seek other means to be satisfied. That’s motivation.

Right now, when this world turns upside down for people, particularly for wealthy nations, it’ll be most difficult for those individuals. They will be seeking other outs, whether they are God believers or not, and they will be seeking some means by which to stabilize their life when they see everything in their community just going upside down.

What he didn’t talk about, but I would interpret him to have said, is that the new TRs need to have their database in sync with his database. And the database is the new era, the social, spiritual criteria that they will be using to assist nations and individuals to grow and live in harmony.

You know, the Urantia book is one database, and it provides us with the means to talk about relationships and individuals, and the relationship between the individual and God and Christ Michael with individuals and so on. However, the task that Machiventa is talking about with this database is really, how do we achieve a Christ-like way of living? So that we can assist people to have peaceful social relationships. And of course, that has to do with ethics.

So yes, you’re right, but there are qualifications. TRs who are not acquainted with the Teaching Mission database and knowledge will have difficulty remaining consistent with the stream of consciousness and language that has been used for the last 35-40 years.

Kona

So, to follow up, I listened to the transmission from last week. It focused on the role of the facilitator, and Machiventa was very strong about the qualifications of a facilitator. It seems that the ability to make moral and ethical decisions has to be a top priority and top understanding for any facilitator.

For two reasons: not only do they have to be able to do it for themselves in leadership in their communities, but they also need to be able to identify when there is a lack of moral and ethical decision-making in a group setting so that they can bring that out.

That’s what I was reflecting on with some of the groups I’ve recently been involved with. There’s an old way of making decisions around either virtue ethics or old-style ethics that have plagued our planet. We’re not using what we’ve been learning now to make decisions. So, I feel like this is the next piece for the facilitator, as well as this decision-making.

Daniel

Yes. I’ve been working on a business plan for a large corporation that would do this work for the family and for design teams. I’ve written a job description for a facilitator, a team facilitator, and a trainer facilitator who would train facilitators.

My experience is that the individual who is a trainer or a facilitator needs to have a psycho-spiritual background, meaning they are well acquainted with psychotherapeutic language, techniques, and problems. Because, in workshops and the experimental group I had, I found that when people volunteer to join your team, they come in total with their problems and everything. They might be totally unaware that they are always butting in or talking over someone else. How does the facilitator deal with that?

It’s like Machiventa. He’s not tolerating that sort of thing anymore, and we don’t do that, do we? I don’t hear people talking over each other anymore at all. There are certain social graces. In my work with Avalah regarding ethics, there are the seven values underlying ethics, and then there are various interpretations you get right down to the expression of these values in life. Below that, you have etiquette, personal etiquette.

For example, our etiquette with Seni. I’m proud of you guys, and Machiventa is proud of you for how you greeted Seni. We truly treat him as our brother and welcomed him to this group. We see the potential for his contributions to us, this team, and his local communities.

If you have a facilitator who doesn’t understand etiquette and politeness, and then those social grace rules, your team is going to go down the tubes. You don’t have to be a certified therapist or psychotherapist to be a facilitator, but to teach other people to be facilitators, that person needs to have a solid background in ethics, social conduct, and a lot of interaction.

The work of the facilitator is to create and generate a flow and to have people honor that. That’s where you get into the nitty-gritty of politeness, ethics, and etiquette. I haven’t seen evidence of ethical violations in our team ever. I’ve seen some outside the team in other venues, but not here.

It’s not that Machiventa is playing parent at all, but we must be good at what we know we need to do and don’t do. So, congratulations and thank you for tending to these likenesses, these graces, and virtue ethics. Thanks, Kona.

Kona

Thank you, Daniel. Seni, do you have any questions for the group about how we operate while Daniel’s here, or any questions for him specifically?

Seni

Not at the moment. I’m just attending and observing.

Daniel

We’re very fortunate to have Seni here with us because he’s a reflective thinker. He’s very much like Juan. Both are deep thinkers and excellent listeners. Thank you, Juan.

Group Closing

Group: Thank you, Machiventa, thank you, Daniel.
