ASSOCIATION BUSINESS 5-1-98 Canoga Park, CA All right I'll say good day to you this day of your time. How are you all? Audience: Great, Perfect, Excellent. B: Once again, we take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for allowing this transmission to occur in this manner through this particular gateway at this time. Each and every time you allow this connection and this transmission to occur, it affords our civilization an opportunity to experience through you another face, another facet of the multidimensional crystal of the Infinite and we thank you for this gift of sharing. We would like to begin this transmission this day of your time by labeling it: "Association Business: Part 1." This day of your time we would like to present you with an understanding of a bit of Association business that is the Association of Worlds. That collective, that grouping that comprises many different civilizations, of which we are a part and some day your world will be a part in the relatively near future. But it is time right now for you to participate a little bit more in Association business, particularly because this bit of business has to do with you and your planet. Let us explain. Some time ago in your terms of time, in discussions about exactly how and even whether are not to contact your planet in this manner, when we recognized that it might be time for this kind of contact, there was much discussion among different Member Worlds about whether such contact would be either beneficial or effective to you. There were many ideas that were discussed as to whether or not such communication should begin. There was one civilization in particular who did not believe that contact with your world would be timely or would really have any effect . Now these beings, we will simply refer to them for now as the *Neutrals*, in a sense they were neutral on the subject, in a sense abstaining from what you would call a vote . For the idea is that, not that they were, in any way, shape or form, uncompassionate. They are a very compassionate race. They simply felt that the information that we have shared with you over these past 15 of your years would not really make much of a difference, do to the nature of humanity as they perceived it. Therefore, now the time has come for a type of reassessment. We have communicated with them and we have in some ways asked them to reassess their previous decision; to see whether are not they now believe that they can co-participate in the contact between the Association and your world; to see whether they believe that such contact is merited at this time. We are therefore, letting you know that there will now come an opportunity for communication, not in this transmission but in the next one. Communication with one representative member of that civilization of the *Neutrals*. They have agreed to allow us to facilitate a communication to your world so that you can speak directly with them, and they will have comments and questions. They will want to investigate in this investigation with you whether or not they deem it is timely and appropriate for them to participate in adding their communication, their energy, their time, their focus into dialogs with your people. This is, in many ways important, though we would not want you to think that their decision, one way or another, should add or subtract from your own sense of self, your own sense of worth, or any such notion. It is not about judgement either from them upon you, nor upon yourself; by yourself. It is simply about opportunity to add to the overall energy. More energy, more awareness to open up new pathways, new lines of communication with yet another civilization within the Association. But we wanted to give you what you would call a week's warning, that this is coming about so that you can prepare yourself to engage in a dialog with a being from this civilization we call the *Neutrals*, so that you can understand that you will, perhaps, in those dialogs, in that conversation, be even more of a representative of your planet than usual, for you will really have to answer questions, if you wish, that directly address their concerns as to whether or not your people really are absorbing the information; whether it is really making a difference or not, and they will then make their own assessment as to whether they believe it has made a difference. And will decide from that conversation whether or not to continue to abstain, to continue to remain neutral or to become more participatory in the energies that we engage you in, with regard to the communications between our world and the Association as they have been taking place. So, you follow along? Audience: Yes, absolutely. Thank you. B: Therefore, in that we have convinced this representative of the *Neutrals* to dialog with you, you may in your own terms, expect this dialog to occur. In the next transmission, in this area on your planet, in your next week's time frame and thus, then, we will call that transmission: Association Business Part II. Now, once again that we have laid down a foundation for this, so that you may prepare in your minds, over the next week for this encounter and for this dialogue, we will simply now move on to our usual business of exchange and we will ask now, in what way may our civilization be of service to you this day?
