Prayer:

Larry: Dear Father thank you for this gathering.  We are so grateful for 
all of the blessings that you have bestowed upon us.  We love you very much 
Father.  Allow our eyes, ears and hearts to be open to the message that we 
receive from your Teachers tonight.  We pray for peace in world.  We pray 
for all men and women to come to your love, to know that we are all sons 
and daughters of you Father and that we are all spiritual brothers and 
sisters in the family of God.  We pray for all of this in the name of 
Michael, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  I am glad 
that this room is full of peace-makers.  I am glad that everyone in this 
room has the intention of creating peace in this world.  I am glad that you 
come here to learn and expand your minds, so that you may in turn return to 
the world with hope and better tools to tackle the great work of 
peace-making.  Many of you have returned from the Parliament of World 
Religion’s Conference in which you witnessed many people who are also 
peace-makers, who want to change the world for the better.  There you 
witnessed the light of the world; there you witnessed the beginning of what 
will later be known as the Age of Light and Life.  What you witnessed at 
the conference was highly-skilled, spiritual and intellectual people who 
decided to come together in harmony and brotherhood to meet with one 
another and discussed ideas and shared opinions, theories and faith.  If 
only your governments had such spirit your world wouldn’t be where it is today.

So, I am glad for the people who are here in this room who have the 
intention to create peace in this world, to bring harmony to all humanity, 
to heal the wounds of war and suffering.  You’re here to bring the light to 
the world; to share your values, your ideals and your hopes to all who need 
it.   What you witnessed at this conference was the thirst of so many 
people in the world who want change.  They want this world to have 
peace.  They are tired of war, famine and poverty.  What you witnessed was 
that those who attended this conference know that through spirituality all 
things are possible.  Through faith and communion the whole world can heal 
itself and come to terms with its mistakes.

Remember that you have been given this great knowledge.  Many of you are 
privileged to be aware of The Urantia Book and everything that has been a 
product of it.  This knowledge is not meant for a few, it is meant for 
many, it is meant for the entire world.  It is you who must disseminate 
this information to the general public in whatever way and means that you 
find necessary.  The information and knowledge that you carry has been 
proven in your own lives.  You know for a fact that it has helped you in 
many ways.  You know for a fact that many questions that you have had, have 
been answered.  It is clear faith and belief on your part.  In your heart 
you feel these things to be true.  In your life you have had many doubts 
and questions but you have come to an understanding and a peace of mind by 
reading The Urantia Book and the Teaching Mission Transcripts.  You know in 
your heart that much of what you read is true.  It is a matter of belief, a 
matter of faith that the world will come to an Age of Light and Life.  I 
tell you my brothers and sisters you must continue on with your work and 
continue giving this information out to all who seek it, for this is 
fertile time in which humanity will surge up into this new age and you all 
shall be there to greet them.  I will now take your questions.

Stella:  There is so much brutality in this world, what can we do to stop it?

JarEl: TR, George.  It is not impossible Stella.  In reality Stella you 
should only be asking what can I do to stop any brutality happening around me?

Stella:  That is true.

JarEl:  There is much in the world that you cannot change, for there are 
people who make decisions and choices in their lives and cause such 
destruction and chaos.  You can only control yourself and the chaos that 
surrounds you.  You can bring order to the chaos that is in your immediate 
surroundings.  By doing this you will affect the rest of the world and 
inspire them to bring order into their own lives.  Eventually those who 
create chaos will be isolated, will no longer be able to create such chaos 
because all the power shall be taken away from them.  They have that power 
because people give them that power.  We all have the power to change our 
lives and our realities.   Through our connection with the Thought Adjuster 
we bring order into this world.  Through harmonizing with the Eternal we 
begin to do His Will and begin to bring order and the harmony which is the 
destiny of your world.  Chaos exists because so many are disconnected from 
their Thought Adjuster.  The decisions that they make are not in tune with 
the True Source and Center.  The day will come when all will align 
themselves with the Father.  You must have hope Stella, hope for the 
future.  You must realize Stella that you are the future of this 
world.  Through your peacefulness, your harmony and through your connection 
with God you shall bring this new Age into existence.  Imagine a world full 
of peace and it will be so.  Do you have another question Stella?

Stella:  There are so many people who call upon Allah, call upon God and 
yet they kill in the name of God.  What will happen to them?

JarEl: TR, George.  You try to understand these people because you want to 
help them.  Yes, anyone who claims that God is on their side and, 
therefore, they have the right to end someone else’s life is completely 
wrong.  God neither, condones or approves such acts of evil.  Try to 
understand these people by understanding where they are in their lives and 
in their spiritual growth. They are no different then many who claim to 
love and profess God, yet behind everyone’s back do the opposite.  It is a 
very painful experience to have to listen to someone invoking the name of 
God and at the same time destroying lives.  When they arrive in the 
Morontia Realm they will be shown the error of their way.  They will be 
told that God is a God of Love, a God of Peace and a God of 
brotherhood.  It will be explained the way the universe works and how we 
all cooperate with one another.  It will be shown how the different races 
of the world and the universe come together in harmony, with love and 
understanding.  They will be allowed a time to adjust to this new reality 
and together their thoughts and their emotions will be rearranged to this 
reality.  Eventually they will find remorse in their hearts for what they 
have done.  They will have a clear understanding of how things work in the 
universe.  They will ask for forgiveness from those that they have 
harmed.  Eventually everything will be put right in its place.  Everything 
that has been wronged in this world will be righted in the next world.  So, 
yes, you may feel sorry for those who kill in the name of God, but all you 
can do is to pray for them, that they may in this lifetime see the errors 
of their way.  If they do not do it here they will eventually do it 
there.  Are there any other questions?

Henry Z:  Yes, JarEl, thanks for a great lesson.  One of my favor topics is 
Agondonter status.  What can you tell us about the relationship of the 
Agondonter status in the Universe of Nebadon.

JarEl: TR, George.  My dear brother we definitely do value every single 
citizen that comes from this world.  We find that their Agondonter status 
is extremely valuable for it has shown that they have been proven in more 
ways than one and above all they have seen consistent chaos heaped on your 
world and yet they have this whole-hearted dedication towards 
God.  However, given the state of your world and the state of your 
Agondonter status does not justify why your world is in its current 
state.  Neither would it justify if we denied any help.  We practice, (it 
is our policy) non-interference.  It has only been two thousand years since 
the visit of Michael on your world as Jesus, the son of man and the Son of 
God.  There has not been enough time for the world to adjust to this new 
revelation.  We constantly want to help to improve this world and we do 
assist you in whatever way we can.  We feel that the revelation of The 
Urantia Book has been a great help to the normalizing of your world and 
also The Teaching Mission has also been a great help to this world.

Henry Z:  I partly agree with most of what you say, JarEl.  It is true that 
there is a tremendous spiritual influence on the planet, I cannot deny 
that.  It is also true that the two spiritual defaults on the planet 
basically left much undone.  I will concede that the planet was redeemed by 
the bestowal mission of Michael, but a mere few heart beats that he was 
here didn’t do a tremendous amount to really shift the last two thousand 
yearsif it didwow, amazing.  We live in a time in which there are 
concurrently four thousand years of thought-forms smashing against each 
other simultaneously partly because of the spiritual defaults on this 
planet, the things that were not really brought into alignment.  Yes, it is 
a challenging place and most of us do fairly well here, I am not doubting 
that.  It seems to me above and beyond the status of a decimal 
planet.  Urantia is afforded a very special judicial and administrative 
position because it is Michael’s bestowal sphere and it has an Agondonter 
status.  It took me years to actually really come to view the Agondonter 
status in a more profound way, at first it was just a new word when I read 
it and an interesting concept.  The more that I viewed it, I came to see 
that regarding Agondonter statusyou are not telling us everything.   They 
say, well it is quite useful to the Universe of Nebadon, kind of 
nonchalantly.  I mean, we are rebellion-tested, I know that.  I just don’t 
quite yet at this point see the spiritual administrative wisdom of denying 
a visible presence of spiritual beings on this planet?

JarEl: TR, George.  My friend, Henry, it is very hard to see when you are 
in the middle of things, isn’t it?

Henry Z:  Well, yes.

JarEl:  TR, George.  When you are caught up in a twister it is very hard to 
see the form of the twister for you are completely engulfed in it, in fact 
you are a part of it.  You have not yet gone through your entire test 
Henry, there is still much more to do.  You have not yet arrived on the 
shore of Morontia
...I see you understand.

Larry:  Urantia is not the only world that has Agondonters, don’t the other 
quarantine worlds have Agondonters too?

JarEl:  TR, George.  There are Agondonters throughout the entire 
universe.  You simply do not know about them.  It is only important for you 
at this moment, that this world has Agondonter status.  It is not merely to 
say, that I am an Agondonter.  For you have not yet passed the entire 
test.  Only when you arrive on the Morontia World will you fully realize 
what your status means.  Now it is very vague and it is very hard to see 
where you fit in the grand scheme of things.  The reason it is hard to see 
is because you are in the middle of it.  You are here deep in the trenches.

Henry Z:  I can’t deny that.

JarEl:  TR, George.  So be patient Henry, answers will come.

Henry Z:  What I am concerned with is this Agondonter status, because, like 
Larry was saying, all of these other rebellion spheres that are not decimal 
planets would have been reverted back to normal status, except us.  It is 
one thing to be the scapegoat of the universe it is another thing to be the 
scapegoat by the Creator Son

for a mortal life time.  I am sure in times 
to come I will be shown more clearly these things I am trying to 
understand.  I don’t think it is a fault to try to understand, is it?

JarEl:  TR, George.  It certainly is not.

Henry Z:  Thank you.

JarEl:  TR, George. Are there any other questions?

Donna:  JarEl, I just have some comments not questions, going back to the 
topic that we were talking about before.  Stella brought up about killing 
in the name of Allah and things like that.  I just wish to say that I just 
finished a book about Islam-Everything about Islam.  It was a very good 
book, because I wanted to learn more about what they really believe and 
what the Qur’an said.  It turns out that it is a sin for anyone who is a 
Muslim to commit suicide or to kill or harm anybody else.  That is not in 
the Qur’an, that is not a part of their real belief system.  From what I 
can understand by reading the book they have quite a beautiful religion and 
faith.

The Muslims have contributed greatly to the world culture in the fields of 
Medicine, Mathematics and Science.  One of the things that the Islamic 
faith has in common with The Urantia Book is that they do believe that 
religion and science go together, that there is not any conflict with 
that.  They believe in studying the designs that Allah, or God, has put 
here; which is basically science, then we can learn more about Him.  That 
is a wonderful basic belief system and because they have that belief system 
that is how their scholars in the past ages were able to go so far in these 
different scientific fields.

So I think that these fanatic fringes who are out there being terrorists 
and killing and committing suicide and doing suicide-bombings and all of 
that are just a very small minority of the Islamic people who number in the 
millions around the world.  Muslims believe in politically talking things 
over and reason and all the things people should believe in if there is 
going to be peace.  So, hopefully, the true Islamic people who really 
follow their belief will have a lot to do in setting things in order here 
and creating more peace among their followers.

Anyway, I am just putting that out there because I don’t know how many 
people know very much about Islam.  I didn’t know very much about it either 
but I was really heartened to learn more about all the good things about 
that particular faith.  In fact, for eight hundred years the Muslims lived 
peacefully with the Christians and Jews in Spain.  For eight hundred years 
they had a history of learning on how to live with other faiths and 
allowing other faiths to be accepted.   So, politically, if they could 
bring forth the leadership of their true believers, I don’t think we would 
have anything to fear.  Anyway I just wanted to put that out there.

JarEl: TR, George.  Thank you Donna, you have taken it upon yourself to 
build a bridge and that is how peace is won, thank you.

Donna:  You are welcome.

JarEl:  TR, George. If there are no more questions I wish you all good night.

All:  Thank you JarEl, good night.
