Prayer

Jim:  All powerful goodness, bountiful Father and merciful God, increase in 
me the wisdom that discovers my truest interests.  Strengthen my resolution 
to perform which that interest dictates and accept my kind offices to thy 
other children as the only return within my power where thy continuing 
favor tells them. Amen.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is 
good to be back to see all the familiar faces once again and to spend this 
wonderful time together with you.  The time that we spend together is like 
being in a classroom when you were in school.  For in essence that is what 
it is.  You have recognized in your lives here on earth certain teaching 
tools that allow you to grow and you naturally gravitate toward these truth 
giving institutions.  These classes are given throughout the entire network 
of the Teaching Mission and are free for anyone to join and for anyone to 
hear.  We are here to teach, to help you grow and to help you to become 
familiar with the higher truths and concepts of the universe beyond and of 
the universe within.

Many of you have traveled a long ways before you found this 
classroom.  Many of you looked hard and sought this sort of institution 
everywhere, but you were left dissatisfied, so you continued your 
quest.  What I offer you here in this classroom is but a glimpse, but a 
taste which will not quench your thirst.  It will only make you more 
thirsty for what is to come.  There is more to life than just my words or 
my promises.  Many years I have taught you, I have given you lessons and I 
have shown you other worlds, which at this moment you can only 
imagine.  What I cannot give you is the experience that you must have for 
yourselves.  I cannot give you the experiences that will unfold in your 
lives and, therefore, I cannot quench your thirst.  The one that will truly 
quench it is God alone.  I am only a messenger of my Father.  I only bring 
his words and his wisdom and my experiences into your lives for you to 
learn from and appreciate.  Ultimately your own experiences are what will 
qualify you to enter into the Father's Kingdom.  Your experiences alone are 
what will finally quench that long and dry thirst which you have had your 
entire life for the truth.  Although it is important that you learn from 
the Teaching Mission, it is all the more important that you learn from your 
own experiences of life together what you can from the challenges that are 
set before you and to mature, to grow and to ask questions.

Think of the Teaching Mission as a guide for your life, for your spiritual 
well being.  As all such guides you must take it as just that; as a guide 
and not allow it to control your life.  It is not meant for that, I am not 
here to control any of you.  You are all freewill creatures and you all are 
indwelt with Thought Adjusters which make you my brothers and 
sisters.  From my experiences, my long life, I have learned to respect 
every creature in God's realm.  My respect for you comes naturally as does 
my respect for your free will.  My words and my guidance are here to help 
you.  God is helping and guiding you each day.  He is there at every 
moment, not telling you what to do, but helping you and encouraging you and 
being one with your life and your experiences.  It is entirely up to you to 
allow the Father to enter your life.  It is entirely up to you to allow 
yourself to surrender your will to his will.  He does not become angry when 
you decide to go against the His will, but He does become jubilant when you 
decide to align your will with his and to say "Father, may your will be 
mine."  The Father looks down on you with love and calls you a true 
daughter or son.  This is what we all strive for in the universe, to align 
our will with the Father's.  It becomes quite pleasurable to do this.

On Urantia it may seem like a burden at times, but if you allow God to 
enter your heart and your mind, if you allow his will to govern your life, 
you will soon realize that things can be quite pleasurable when they are 
done his way.  It is not to say that your will is completely obliterated, 
for it is not.  You are simply doing his will because you want to.  The 
fruits that arrive from such aligning of will benefit you and the Father, 
so there is much incentive to do the Father's will.  In many ways God takes 
care of his own and when you align your will with his will he takes care of 
you even more.  He makes sure that your life is running accordingly.  Yes, 
of course, there are challenges at times but when you learn about the 
Father's will, you know that challenges are meant to strengthen you and to 
mold you into a perfect soul, for that is your goal, perfection.  It is 
when you persistently deny these challenges or you hide from them, that 
they come back at you, not exactly in the same fashion but in a different 
form persistently challenging you.  After all this is one big school and 
you are here to grow, learn and mature.  If you were to deny yourself that 
experience of learning and growth then you are denying yourself the 
opportunity to truly know God.

I will step aside so others may speak.

Michael:  TR, George.  Greetings, it is your Father/brother Michael.  It 
has been a while since I have addressed this Group.  Do not doubt that I am 
always looking in on you.  I am always with you at every moment of your 
life.  I love each and everyone of you and hold you in my heart.  My love 
for you is deeper, stronger and greater than what words can 
describe.  There is no symbol or container that can contain the love that I 
feel for all of you.  I know that you have experienced my love and have 
felt my love in your heart, mind and soul.  There are marvels and 
experiences that await you.  The lives that you live here are full of love 
and meaning.  You project out to the world, happiness and kindness.  Please 
take my message of love to all of your brothers and sisters and present 
this gift to them.   Recognize your brothers and sisters throughout the 
world.  Allow their light to combine with your light.  Allow your heart to 
meld with their heart.  Allow my spirit to touch you tonight.  The light 
that you project shall be increased and shall have more power for I have 
given it to you.  Be good children and search for perfection, good night.

Donna:  Good night Michael, thank you for your wonderful words, we love you.

Stella:  JarEl, how do you know what the will of the Father is for 
you?  Can you answer that JarEl?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Certainly Stella, the answer is before you 
Stella.  The answer is within your heart and it is within reach.  You have 
known this truth for many years.  The question should be: what can I do so 
I can stop being afraid of doing the Father's will?  How can I not fear to 
do the Father's will?  In your life Stella you have fulfilled many of the 
mandates that the Father has given you, although he has not ordered you at 
anytime.  You have listened to his will and you have meticulously fulfilled 
every request that he has asked of you.  You continue to do the Father's 
will, but at times I understand how many of you have been afraid to take 
that extra leap of faith.  God never asks you to do more than you can 
handle.  He always knows what you can handle and everyday he asks of you 
just a little bit; a little grace; a little understanding.  He may just 
have asked you to smile just for that day for someone who needs a 
smile.  If that is the case, why should you be afraid to do the Father's 
will?  Some may believe to do the Father's will is to give up your own 
freewill choice and go to a far away place and preach about the Father in 
heaven, but that is not the case.  Each of you in your own life has your 
own requests given to you from the Father.  Just because a brother or a 
sister travels half way around the world to present the truth, does not 
mean that you should do the same or that is your mandate.  To know the 
Father's will is to know yourself.  Does that answer your question Stella?

Stella:  I don't know.  I feel as if I am on a treadmill, treading 
backwards very fast.  I am sorry, I guess I  will have to get to the 
Mansion Worlds before I will grasp what you are saying.

JarEl:  TR, George.  It is OK to be confused Stella.  For confusion is a 
sign that you are learning.

Norman:  No wonder that you are so smart, Stella.

Jim:  Now I know how smart I am!

JarEl:  Are there any other questions?

Stella:  Yes, I have another question.  Norman and I were talking 
tonight:  there are certain people in this world obcessed with making money 
or controlling others or have a war career or all kinds of unsavory 
things.  What do they do when they get to the Mansion Worlds when they can 
no longer do these things?  Are they very upset?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Many people go through this life serving two masters, 
in some cases, one master, not being God.  When these people graduate to 
the Mansion World they can no longer serve that master for it has been 
taken away from them and left behind in a world that is but a dream at that 
point.  They can no longer serve money and they cannot start wars.  They 
can only create a war in their own minds.  It is contained in their own 
identity.  When they realize that they can no longer affect others the way 
they did before, or control others, they start to asks themselves, who 
controls everything?  Who is my Master?  Who should I serve?  That is when 
they start learning and growing.  That is when they start realizing that 
there is one true Source and Center that governs all.  For many it takes 
awhile, for they are not used to asking themselves hard questions.  They 
grew up spoiled, learning that power came from money or from war.  They 
find they are mistaken, they find they were mislead.  In the end all that 
was wrong was right.  All that was taught wrong will be taught right.  Many 
of the misconceptions that people have grown up with in your world will be 
purged from their lives and they will be introduced to new and better 
ideas.  We will introduce the idea of our Universal Father and of our 
brotherhood and sisterhood; that is what happens.

Stella:  That gives me more insight as to what happens when they have no 
more power or control over others.  They have to start thinking down the 
right lines.  Good point JarEl.

JarEl:  TR, George.  It is my pleasure to enlighten all of you.

Stella:  I have another question.  I spent the weekend at the Book 
Conference in Los Angeles and I talked to some people about my book, The 
Secret Revelation.  I was kind of surprised, some people were respectful 
but others actually look forward to Armageddon.  They look forward to this 
end time, the end of the world, and that surprised me.  How can they prefer 
this death and destruction to God's loving message?   Would you care to 
comment on that?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Those who look forward to Armageddon are doing it out 
of a selfish point of view.  In which they believe that only certain chosen 
people shall be saved and the rest shall perish in the flames.  That is how 
they justify the evils of this world, rather than trying to fix the world 
or try to improve it, they settle with this idea that the end will 
come.  Therefore, they selfishly throw away all responsibility towards this 
planet and only focus on their own lives and their own salvation.  This is 
much of the mentality  behind this.  There is no Armageddon; there are no 
end times.  The world shall continue as it has been.  Your air may become 
dirtier, more population, more pollution, more crime, more wars.  Things 
may get worse before they get better, but the point that am trying to make 
is that your world shall continue and it is up to you, up to the citizens 
of Urantia, to improve this world for later generations.  It is not going 
to be improved by a miracle of God.  He is not going to come in and destroy 
all of the evil and save those who are good.  He is going to allow this 
world to evolve into Light and Life.  For that to happen, a lot of you will 
have to put in your two cents worth.  From my point of view your two cents 
are worth two hundred thousand and even more.  That is my point of view.

Stella:  Thank you, thank you very much.

Donna:  JarEl, if I could comment a little further on Stella's question, I 
would imagine that the people who are still looking forward to Armageddon 
are thinking that they would be the ones who are saved.  I don't imagine 
that the ones who are looking forward to Armageddon are looking forward to 
the death and destruction coming to them, but they think: now all the bad 
guys are going to be done away with, that is what I think is their reason 
that they don't want to give up the idea, because it would be a quick and 
easy way to get rid of the supposedly bad guys.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Exactly, and not taking any responsibility to try and 
do something to improve this world.  Are there any other questions here 
tonight?

Jennie:  I don't have a question JarEl but I do have something to say to 
you.  I am going to be leaving the group.  I am moving out of town.  I have 
moved already.  This is probably the last evening in quite a long time 
before I'll come for a visit.  I want to take this opportunity to thank you 
for all of your time these past seven years and all the wonderful messages 
I've  heard and all the up-bringing of the spirit that you have done for 
this group and I believe for other people who are not here right now.  So I 
want to take the opportunity to thank you because I don't know when I will 
speak to you again.  I want to also thank the rest of the group here right 
now and I have a chance to blow kisses all around the room.  God Bless you 
JarEl, I appreciate all that you have done.

JarEl:  TR, George.  I shall look in upon you from time to time Sister 
Jennie.  I truly from the bottom of my heart enjoyed every minute that you 
were here.

Jennie:  Thank you very much.

JarEl:  TR, George.  With that note I shall bid you all good night.

All:  Good night JarEl.
