ruthless,
who show an early propensity to destroy their opponents without conscience. There are, of course, exceptions, but
these are few and far apart. When it suited the strong tribal leaders to group, then qualities other than brute strength
counted. Nevertheless, the motive was for the self - the leaders of the tribe seeing the tribe as an extension of the self.
Now the ability to negotiate gained in importance, to trade off something of little value for another thing sought. But
have the motives changed? Not at all. So politics is basically a way of having tribal wars and conflicts over resources
in a polite, bloodless way.
Politics steps in when bloody battles would be counterproductive, but politics is discarded when frank war will win the
prize more readily. One should not be fooled simply because the claws of the politicians are retracted. They are still
there, and the hunger is still there. This will be the case on Earth, during the Transformation, as long as 3rd Density
cultures remain on Earth. Depending upon what part of the Earth one lives in, who the neighbors are, there may be a
rapid transition during the Transformation to a different type of politics. The Council of Worlds is elected by
elections, not by an electorate arrangement which is a percolating-up method that can be controlled, not by a method
whereby only those the power structure has already chosen are presented to you as candidates, but by a true election
such that the type of individual that all desire to see as candidates and all admire are in administrative positions. Our administration goes smoothly because they are highly respected, often directly elected by the individuals that they are
governing.

ZetaTalk: Taking Responsibility
Mail this Pageto a Friend.
Many times those who would take a responsible position in life have mixed feelings. Should they step to the helm, be
the one on call, make promises - and then find they lack the leadership or are at a loss for ideas or cannot deliver? At
what point is it safe to offer? Many hesitate, fearing failure not only for themselves but for those who would be the
brunt of their failure - those whom promises were made to. On the other hand some promise blithely, with never a
thought that they may be required to deliver, enjoying the appreciation they receive in advance. And then there is the
other side of the equation, the recipient, who may trust blindly or be guarded, may find themselves delighted at the
results or waiting forever for any results.
Think of the child, whose father has turned his back without any thought of how the child and its mother will survive.
These men are often the most free with slavish promises stated boldfaced to the women they charm. In many cases
they may even believe their own words and be horrified at their behavior, living afterwards with a deep sense of
dismay and shame.
Whichever side of the equation one finds themselves on, how to know when to step up to the plate and how to know
when to trust. This is one of the major lessons of 4th Density in the Service-to-Others orientation. Entities find
themselves on both sides of the equation, disappointed, dazed, confused, and trying not to blame the other for the
mess. Endless discussions sometimes ensue over what went wrong and who should shoulder blame. In the Service-to-
Others orientation, more often than not, both sides of the equation want to
This lesson, on taking responsibility, is not one we can address with a few words, as it is complex enough to differ for
every situation. However, some guidelines are obvious. When shouldering responsibility the entity should assess their
ability to meet all contingencies. If, for instance, they sense that in the main they are equal to the task, then they should move forward but communicate the points where they feel help from others will be required. If passion to become
involved is strong, but skills or knowledge lacking, the entity may enlist a cohort to team up, thus gaining the skills to match the passions. If confident and experienced, but suddenly finding themselves in a pinch, the entity who has taken
responsibility for a situation should communicate clearly and unmistakably their need for help.
In all cases, the answer is communication and helping hands.
Take the situation of the charming father to be, who has started something which later comes to terrify him. He runs,
or feigns indifference to the child, because he is at a loss at how to proceed. Imagine this situation, all too common in human society, with open communication and helping hands. The father feels free to state that his heart is full of pride
and eager love but he doesn't know how to pick the baby up without breaking it. He may resent the need to spend
precious cash on endless crises and fear the trend will only acerbate. Will his life not matter anymore? How different
matters might be if he could openly discuss his fears and accept help from others, rather than letting his fears build
