Prayer:

Norman:  Heavenly Father thank you for our gathering here this 
evening.  Thank you for being in our midst.  Help us to hear the lesson you 
have for us tonight.  May we keep doing Your Will first and 
foremost.  Thank you for the people that we meet through the day and in the 
coming weeks.  May they find their path and do Your Will as required by 
You.  We pray that we accomplish this endeavor to the glory of You 
Father.  In Michael's name, we ask these things.

JarEl: George, TR.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is good 
to be among you once again.  The Universe waits upon your decisions.  The 
opportunities exist exactly outside of your realm of decision making.  The 
responsibilities continue to be your responsibilities and they will not go 
away until you decide to do something about them.  We wait for the 
decisions and actions that you will take in the future.  We wait for you to 
become an outstanding citizen; we wait for you to become a perfect human 
being.  We wait for you to become a friend of everyone and a friend to 
yourself.  We wait for you to forgive those who have wronged you and we 
patiently wait for you to acknowledge us.

All the opportunities and possibilities are there for you to take full 
advantage of.  Your growth will be quickened if you would begin to make 
logical and thoughtful decisions.  You life is laid out before you in a 
series of events.  These events happen based on the decisions that you make 
in your life.  Is it not desirable to continue to have experiences that 
challenge you and cause you to grow as a human being?  Is it not desirable 
to see what you can become, what possibilities that exists beyond your 
growth?  Is it not desirable to taste a drop of what awaits you?  Is it not 
desirable to begin to understand Morontia Mota?  When you begin to 
comprehend what type of decisions and thought processes you must have, you 
will begin to understand Morontia Mota.  Deciding and making decisions in 
life allows you, give you that opportunity, to find these places in your 
life and mind to begin to understand what is possible.

Doing nothing, absolutely nothing will bring the same results into your 
life, nothing!  Doing something, making decisions, challenging yourself, 
solving problems, helping others brings opportunities and revelation that 
you would not otherwise receive.  So take the time to evaluate your life 
and understand where and why you need to make decisions.  Understand where 
in your life a decision needs to be made, followed by action, a conclusion 
of your decision.

You do not want to wait to the very last minute when you have run out of 
time to tie up loose ends.  However loose ends always exist in people's 
lives.  There will be loose ends all the way through the Morontia 
Realms.  They will be reminders of your life, they will be reminders of the 
things you did or did not do.  They will be reminders that you need to fix 
whatever needs to be fixed.  You need to work on whatever needs to be 
worked on.  You need to solve whatever needs to be solved.

Most of these problems have very simple solutions.  Most of these problems 
can be summed up in two words, decisions and actions.  It is your mind and 
your circumstances that create a complicated orchestra of chaos which does 
not allow you to see the simplicity of the answer to it all.  Even when it 
is presented to you in a simple and concise way you remain stubborn.  You 
insist that it is complicated, that it is beyond solution, that it is too 
much to handle and so you simply give up.

That is no way to solve problems in your life and that is no way to deal 
with the challenges that will exist from here on throughout all 
eternity.  You must look at it in a simple way, for it is all simple.  It 
is all perfectly simple in God's creation.  Problems exist so answers may 
arise.

Those answers will make who you are. Those answers will construct the soul 
that you are co-creating.  Those answers will bring values, morals and 
ethics into your life.  Those answers will create the future you.  Not 
answering these questions limits your growth and detains whatever growth or 
future you may have.  Facing it full on, taking responsibility and taking 
charge is how you will overcome all the challenges in your life and that is 
the means of your growth in this world and in the next.

You have been thrown into this world to find who you are.  One of the 
challenges that you are required to solve is self-responsibility, being 
responsible for whatever you create.  If you learn that my friends you will 
have come a long way and you will be closer to perfection.  Are there any 
questions tonight?

Stella:  How do you get your answers to questions to problems?

JarEl: TR, George.  By asking.

Stella:  But I don't get a response.

JarEl: TR, George.  Your responses don't always come in forms of thought 
processes or words or in immediate manifestations.  Responses sometimes 
come disguised in events, in circumstances, in objects or in people.  You 
must be able to discern the response that the Universe has given to your 
question, Stella.

Stella:  Nope, I don't get any answers.

Larry:  What questions do you have Stella, that you want answered?

Stella:  I don't really want to say.

JarEl: TR, George.  My dear Stella, you know very well that you do get 
answers; you know very well that the questions that you ask have been 
answered.  It is your own stubborn way of thinking that impedes you from 
receiving the answers immediately that you are seeking.  Allow yourself to 
be open to whatever answer that may come and accept that answer for what it 
is.  Do not expect a certain answer, for when you do that you never see the 
true answer for what it is.  Are there any other questions?

Larry:  Last week we were reading about the Supreme and we are a little bit 
confused about the Supreme.  Is the Supreme going to be another God that is 
being created right now?  Will God the Supreme be an individual personality 
separate from God, the First Source and Center?  What will the relationship 
of the Supreme be to the Father?

JarEl: TR, George.  The Father will always remain the source of everything 
that exists throughout the Universe of Universes.  The Father is the First 
Source and Center of everything that exists.  The First Source of thought 
and mind which reached out and created Deity and the Creation.  The First 
Source augments Himself in the Supreme, therefore the Supreme is an 
augmentation, an expansion and a glorification of what is, and what always 
will be God the First Source and Center.

Larry:  So the First Source and Center is an individual and first 
personality?  Who is the Supreme Being?  Is the Supreme being created right 
now?  Is the Supreme Being an individual personality?

JarEl: TR, George.  The Supreme Being is a collaboration of the entire 
Evolutionary Universe of time and space being brought together.  The Father 
has expanded Himself and has extended Himself through every single one of 
his creations.  The moment his creation comes into perfect Light and Life, 
the Supreme Being is created in completion.
Put in simple words, the Supreme is you and God and every one of His 
creations put all together.

Donna:  So the Supreme is an extension of the First Source and Center?

JarEl: TR, George.  Exactly.

Donna:  But not two individual separate Gods?

JarEl: TR, George.  No.

Donna:  OK, thanks.

Larry:  Now wait a minute, isn't the Supreme an actual separate individual 
personality just like we are an individual personality?

JarEl: TR, George.  The personality of the Supreme derives from all of the 
accumulation of all the separate individuals within it, including that of 
the First Source and Center.  The personality of the Supreme, therefore, 
will be a perfect personality.  Imagine that the Supreme is the 
collaborative creation of you along with everyone else and the First Source 
and Center.  This creation belongs to all of you; this creation belongs to 
every single individual in the Grand Universe.  You, every single one of 
you are part of the Supreme.  Do not try to define the Supreme before 
understanding who you are.  When you begin to understand who you are and 
who the First Source and Center is the Supreme will reveal Himself to you 
fully.

Stella:  Well then the Supreme will never be finished, because there is an 
eternity of beings to be born, so this could go on indefinitely.

Larry:  Does it not say in The Urantia Book that the Supreme Bring is 
completed once the Seven Super Universes are settled in Light and 
Life?  When everything is brought to perfection and when that happens that 
will be the actual creation of the Supreme or the finalization; when He 
individualizes or comes into being, the Supreme God.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Exactly and that will be a long time from today.  You 
will have many days, many centuries to ponder the idea of the 
Supreme.  Believe me there is still much to learn which has not been 
revealed to you and me.  The Supreme is similar to the idea of Nirvana; it 
is a state of being where everything is perfect.  It is when all creation 
has come into perfect harmony and has balanced itself perfectly.  The 
Supreme is being created as we speak but it will take a long time to 
complete and from this moment on you will learn more about it.  Keep in 
mind that you are just as much a part of it as anyone else.  It is very 
hard to study when you are the one who needs to be studied.

Larry:  So in reality we are helping to create the Supreme.  We are 
co-creators with the First Source and Center in the creation of the Supreme.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Exactly and when you look at it that way you become 
more enthusiastic in helping this grand event happen.  Everyone in this 
Universe looks forward to the day when the Supreme is complete.  We all 
expect it, we all want it, and we know that it will happen, but we are 
patient and we wait.

Larry: I look forward to the materialization of the Magisterial Son and I 
am not very patient about it either.

Stella:  Will this be the Sixth Revelation?

Larry:  I was under the impression that it was an extension of the Fifth 
Revelation, but I don't know, what is the situation?

JarEl: TR, George.  The Second Revelatory Commission is an extension of the 
Fifth Epochal Revelation.  The arrival of Monjoronson will be the Sixth 
Epochal Revelation, so you are right Stella.

Donna:  The arrival of Monjoronson will be the Sixth Epochal Revelation, is 
that what you said JarEl?

JarEl: TR, George.  Yes.

Larry:  Well I wish he would hurry up, because we sure could use the help.

Stella:  Did somebody say it is within our lifetime?  Or is beyond us, this 
generation?

JarEl:  If you live long enough, yes it will be within your lifetime.

Stella: I don't think that I am going to live long enough.

Norman:  This week-end we were in Sedona, the UB readers there are making 
an organic garden out of the desert and they believe that they are building 
the third garden.  Is this the case or is it their imagination?

JarEl: TR, George.  In reality Norman the whole world can be created as a 
garden if you take it upon yourself to beautify the earth.  However, it is 
very doubtful that the place that they are in now is the chosen place for 
the arrival of Monjoronson.  That location has not been disclosed.

Norman:  Thank you.

JarEl: TR, George.  You are welcome.  Larry, you said that you need 
Monjoronson, right?

Larry:  Yes.

JarEl: TR, George.  Why is it that you feel you need him?

Larry:  Because I think we need a great leader to help bring peace to this 
world, to give us some direction, to bring people together.

Stella:  Mankind seems unable to administer or rule himself.  We need help.

JarEl: TR, George.  My dear brothers and sisters let me reveal a certain 
thought about the Deities and Celestials that exist in this Universe.  They 
have the exact same access to the Father that you have.  They are an 
extension of the Father just as you are an extension of the Father as 
well.  You do not need someone to come and save you.

Stella:  Yes we do.

JarEl:  TR, George.  You have the power within yourselves.  That power was 
given to you by the First Source and Center.  You can reach within 
yourselves and liberate your own minds and hearts.  You can bring change 
into this world.  Yes it is good to have a leader to look to, to follow but 
only if he is of sound mind.

Stella:  That is the point we don't have a leader with a sound mind.

JarEl: TR, George.  Who better to trust than yourself?

Stella:  That is true.

JarEl: TR, George.  Who better to lead you than yourself?  Who better to 
guide than yourself?  But it is not you who is guiding you, it is not you, 
it is God.  God indwells you, He is inside you.  God is the pilot light 
that guides you through this swamp that you call earth.  God is what brings 
order into your life.  God is the anchor of light.

Larry:  It is all true and we have been very blessed, especially us in this 
country, we have been very blessed, but around the world there is still 
genocide going on.  There are still millions of people being killed by 
other people.  It just has become overwhelming to see the tragedy of man's 
inhumanity against his brothers and sisters.  Just the other day we heard 
about the Congo, where the people who where killing each other in Rwanda, 
one side was forced out of Rwanda and into the Congo.  Now there are 
reports of over four million people being killed in the Congo.  It is just 
so overwhelming to see all of this inhumanity of mankind against 
mankind.  Where we have been very blessed and all; we can do our part here, 
but it just does not seem that our prayers and actions are enough to reach 
out to other people in other lands.  Then we start wars on other people 
ourselves and drop bombs on innocent men, women and children in the name of 
peace.  To me that is very disheartening.

Stella:  True and there is nothing we can do about it.

JarEl: TR, George.  Ask yourself this question Larry, is your country any 
different in those who are killing themselves?

Stella: No, we are not.

Larry: No, we have just as much greed in this country.  We have just as 
many people using other people and using our resources for their own greedy 
purposes.  We have people in this country who are destroying mother earth 
because of their greed.

JarEl: TR, George.  So the state of the world exists because it exists by 
people who want it that way, right?  The state of the world continues to be 
this way.

Larry:  Because of man's selfish actions.  You talked about making 
decisions; that calls for actions too, but lot of the actions are evil by 
evil people which cause a lot of the grief that goes on in this country and 
in the world.  We need a lot of help!  We need Monjoronson to appear right 
here right now.  We need intervention.

Stella:  Too many people being killed, especially women and children.

Larry: Yes.  Just the way that men treat women is a travesty in probably 
over eighty percent of the world.  We even treat women poorly in the United 
States where I have read that one in four women are abused or raped.

Norman: In South Africa there is a rape every seventeen seconds.

JarEl: TR, George.  These problems that exist in your world are too 
insurmountable for just one man to solve.  Monjoronson will not solve any 
of your problems.  He will not solve your problems; he will not come to 
bring order immediately to this world.  That work remains to be done by all 
of you.  That work is your responsibility.  The societal problems that 
exists in your world exist because of society.  You are a part of society, 
you have the power to change your society.  Just because there are evil 
people on this world, that does not mean that you have to be that way 
too.  You can lead by example.

Larry:  You also cannot allow evil people to do you in, you have to stand 
up against them.

JarEl: TR, George.  Exactly.

Stella:  In the Lord's Prayer it says, forgive your enemies as you are 
forgiven, but it seems to me that in forgiving your enemies you are giving 
approval for their wrong doing.

JarEl: TR, George.  Not exactly Stella, just because you are forgiving your 
enemies does not mean that you condone the actions of your enemies.  Do you 
remember when the Master held back the man who was beating the woman?  He 
restrained him from beating her; he stopped him.  Jesus held him at arm's 
length so he could no longer hurt her.  The Master did not approve of this 
man's actions and stood in his way so that the beating would not 
continue.  In the same way try to solve the problems of the world and try 
to restrain whatever evil that your neighbor tries to do.  Restrain them 
from hurting others, but love them as well.  Forgive them as 
well.  Forgiveness goes a long way, I cannot stress this too 
much.  Forgiving others will go a long ways and ultimately you will learn 
how to forgive yourself as well.  Remember this word Stella, restrain those 
who would hurt others, stop them.  Do not kill them, do not hurt them, but 
restrain them so that they do no harm.  Then the problems in your world 
will begin to be solved, as soon as you start dealing with others in a 
civil way, in a peaceful way.

Stella:  Well it is hard when you have these multi-corporations controlling 
the world and you don't seem to have any way of restraining them because 
the politicians who are supposed to do it don't.  Our vote, sometimes it is 
counted and sometimes it isn't.

JarEl: TR, George.  It is the key, what you just said Stella.  It is the 
politicians who are supposed to do it.  Were they supposed to do it, did 
you give them the power to do it, did you allow them to do it for you?

Stella:  Well they are supposed to represent the people and I voted 
according to my beliefs, but when they get in, they often do the opposite.

Larry:  We have the best Congress that money can buy.

JarEl: TR, George.  What did I speak of tonight?  What did I lecture about?

Larry:  Decisions and actions on our part.

JarEl: TR, George.  Self-responsibility, right?  So if you hand off the 
responsibility to someone else it is nobody else's fault but your own that 
you are in the situation that you are in.

Stella:  How do I restrain a corporation?

JarEl: TR, George.  By taking the power.

Stella:  How do I restrain a corporation from depleting the soil, taking 
the oil and all that.  Every time I get a vote, I will vote against them, 
but my pitiful little vote does not count for much.

JarEl: TR, George.  I will not advise any of you how to handle your own 
governments, but I will advise you to take responsibility for yourself and 
anything that is related to your world.  It is only when you take that 
responsibility upon yourself to deal with your life, to handle your issues, 
to handle society's issues that your world will begin to change for the 
better.  When you brush that responsibility off on someone else and expect 
them to deal with it and expect them to solve your problems, that is when 
you begin to run into problems of your own and even new ones that you did 
not know existed.  So I advise you once again to learn how to take 
responsibility for whatever you do.  Learn to take responsibility for what 
exists in your life and what you create.  Then your life and the world 
around you will be much better for it.

Larry:  Thank you very much JarEl for all of your wisdom tonight.

All:  Thank you JarEl.

JarEl: TR, George.  Thank you, good night.
