>Prayer: Donna:  Dear Father in heaven, thank you 
>for this group here gathered.  Please open our 
>minds and our hearts to receive those gifts of 
>wisdom, truth, beauty and goodness that you have 
>for us.  Thank you again.  We love you.  In Michael’s name,
>Amen.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  Good evening.  It is I, 
>your teacher JarEl.  It is good to be back again 
>and I welcome those who have not been here for a while.
>
>As I look at your world and see all your various 
>struggles, all your various ideas and 
>conflicting ways, I admire how you can sustain 
>through it all.  I understand that it is not 
>very easy to continue in this world when there 
>is so much chaos and turmoil.  But nonetheless 
>you have that faith inside you that allows you 
>to carry through no matter what circumstances you may find yourself in.
>
>But putting this admiration aside, I would like 
>to bring forth a little criticism.  I would like 
>to instill in you to find what is good in 
>others.  Find what is good in other religions 
>and other faiths.  Do not at any point feel that 
>you are superior in spirit and mind, for that is 
>a flaw, that is an error.  Understand your 
>limitations and understand your fellows.
>
>Understand the possibility of corruption and 
>error.  You are no different than those that are 
>around you.  You are also capable of landing in 
>error.  So it is always important to build a 
>bridge to those that do not follow the same 
>ideas that you do.  It is important to find what 
>is good in others; what is good in what they 
>think and what they believe.  It is very 
>important to understand what they believe in as well.
>
>Do not just glaze over other people’s ideas and 
>dismiss them because they do not match your own 
>ideas.  Do not belittle those that believe in a 
>certain way simply because they do not fit in 
>the mold of your train work.  There is variety 
>in life and we must cherish it.  We must cherish 
>all the different types of mind that exist out 
>there.  And remember that in every human being 
>there is a Thought Adjuster that works in its 
>own way to help that person along.  And they 
>themselves have ideas that need to be heard, 
>that need to be raised and examined.  And if 
>they are good, they need to be adopted.
>
>This is the method which Michael of Nebadon 
>implemented while he was on this planet.  He 
>listened to others, to their ideas and when he 
>thought they were on to something, he 
>highlighted those ideas that he thought best 
>represented that person’s belief or religion.
>And so must you highlight those ideas that best 
>represent each and every religion of this 
>world.  Take a moment to ponder over all the 
>religions that you have dismissed simply because 
>you characterize them in their simplest form and 
>fail to examine them honestly and find those gems and truths that exist within.
>
>It is no wonder why people feel so disconnected 
>in this world.  It is no wonder why everyone 
>mistrusts one another and why there is rabid 
>fear in the world.  There have been great walls 
>that have been built around every religion and 
>they have isolated themselves to the point where 
>they have become suicidal.  Do not let this 
>happen to this movement.  Do not let your pride 
>corrupt that which is good and that which should 
>be shared with others.  It is only when you 
>allow yourselves to share ideas with one another 
>that you break down these walls and these barriers that have once existed.
>
>So find what is good.  Find what is good in 
>others, for there is good in everyone.  There is 
>good in everything, you just are not looking 
>hard enough.  Do not let your prejudgment 
>dismiss the potential that exists in other 
>things that are outside of you.  It is too easy 
>to prejudge.  It is harder to truly and honestly 
>examine.  What road will you travel?  What 
>choices will you make?  Are you in this world to 
>have life easily handed to you, or are you here 
>to work for the truths that exist?
>
>Many of you have been fortunate to have found 
>this book in such simplistic ways and yet you 
>may have been searching for a long time.  But 
>when you found the book, all these answers 
>flushed out in front of you.  Perhaps you may 
>have imagined that all the answers
>(about life) would easily come to you, just as 
>they came to you in this book.  But that is not 
>so for that is not the way the universe 
>works.  The book was only the beginning.  The hard work now begins.
>
>It is hard to look at others and understand 
>them.  It is hard to go past those barriers that 
>you have perceived and honestly attempt to find 
>what is good in others.  You cannot judge a person by first appearances.
>
>There are two sides to this coin also, for you 
>cannot believe that everyone is good either, 
>just because you believe it.  Yes there are good 
>things in other people, but you must honestly 
>look at people, you must honestly perceive 
>them.  To have this idea that everyone is good 
>and things will get better because that is so is to deceive yourself.
>
>It is work that you need to do.  It is hard work 
>that needs to be done to improve this 
>world.  And it will be work to build these 
>bridges into people’s souls.  It is not an easy 
>thing to do, but you can do it and it is 
>possible.  It is very possible to reach into a 
>person’s soul and connect with them.  It is not 
>a foreign thing, it is not a fantastical thing 
>that can never occur because it has occurred and 
>it has happened and it will happen.  So you must 
>have this faith to believe that you can make 
>this possible.  It is not a task that is 
>impossible; it is a task that is possible.
>
>So that is my criticism and I do not often 
>criticize for I know that you all struggle and 
>you all honestly attempt to live out your 
>lives.  But it is not always easy to make the 
>right choices and it is not always easy to see 
>clearly, to know, for you do not have all the 
>answers.  And you do not have all the 
>information available.  And there is so much to 
>learn and so much time for you to learn this.
>
>You are just beginning, but I criticize so that 
>you can put your best foot forward, so that you 
>can start a fresh new attitude. And I know that 
>most of you will achieve this glorious path and 
>that you will triumph once you reach the final 
>culmination of your spiritual existence.  I have 
>no doubt on that.  I am simply nudging you at 
>this moment, simply prompting you to act.  And I 
>do it all with love and understanding for I 
>truly believe in you and I know that you will 
>all, eventually, do the right thing.
>
>Are there any questions here tonight?
>
>Mike:  Yes, I’d like to know my soul name and my guide’s name, if possible?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I do not make it a custom 
>to reveal these things to people.  And I will 
>tell you why.  There are many surprises that you 
>will discover as you travel in life and they all 
>have their place and time for you to discover 
>them.  And for me to tell you this now may have 
>effects that were not meant for you to 
>have.  You may not fully come to appreciate this 
>knowledge at this particular moment.  I do 
>prefer to reserve this surprise for you at a 
>later date, simply because you are not meant to have this knowledge now.
>
>It is not that you will never know this, you 
>will.  Just as many of you will not truly know 
>what awaits you once you reach the Morontia 
>realm.  Or, how you will not truly know yet what 
>awaits you when you are standing face to face 
>with God.  These are all moments that are 
>reserved for you at later dates and should only 
>be experienced at that time.  It is not that I 
>do not want to tell you this.  It is simply that 
>I think you will best appreciate it when it finally comes to you.
>
>And I understand that many teachers have 
>revealed this knowledge to others and that is 
>their prerogative.  But they have different 
>sensibilities, they have different ways of 
>experiencing things.  Many of the teachers are 
>sometimes impatient to reveal this knowledge to 
>their students.  But I know the value of 
>patience and I know the value of experiencing 
>the right thing at the right moment.  And I will 
>not rob you of this.  You may ask me again but I 
>will tell you the same thing.  I apologize that 
>I will not grant you this request, but at least you know my reasons.
>
>Mike:  A lot of things have been written lately 
>about the laws of attraction.  What do you think about that?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I think they are on to 
>something.  There is much energy that you can 
>project out there and you can attract a similar 
>energy.  It is your intention that ultimately 
>manages this energy.  If you do intend to have 
>something, you will get it, for you will attract 
>it.  So there is this power behind it and there 
>are laws, as you call them, they are simply 
>facts, my friend.  They are facts that you can 
>attract those things that you truly wish to have 
>if you put the energy out there in such a way 
>where it comes to you.  It goes back to “Ask and 
>you shall receive.”  This law of attraction is 
>simply a way of asking and receiving.  The 
>universe is not cruel where it is not going to 
>grant you your requests.  But it is also very 
>wise where it may not grant you what you request 
>simply because you are not ready to receive 
>it.  Or, it is not the best thing for you to 
>receive.  And it may give you alternatives.  It 
>may give you something you did not request, but 
>in the end it turns out to be the best thing for 
>you.  In order to receive something, you must be 
>prepared to receive it to begin with.  Those 
>that receive many gifts and are not prepared do 
>not appreciate the full value behind those 
>gifts.  And those gifts are soon taken away from 
>them.  But those who receive these gifts and can 
>appreciate their full value, receive more 
>gifts.  Learn to appreciate and you will receive everything.
>
>Mike:  I have a personal question.  I am at a 
>crossroads in my life where I have to change 
>what I do for a living for physical 
>reasons.  This is very scary and is causing me a 
>lot of anxiety.  How’s that looking for me
as far as getting another job?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  Your life may seem like it 
>is coming to a standstill when the things that 
>you are used to doing you can no longer do.  But 
>all is not lost, my friend.  Your life is simply 
>transitioning to a new way of doing things.  Do 
>not give up and do not see this as failure 
>either.  You will find a way to better your 
>life, to better your situation.  You have it in 
>you to do this.  Yes, you will not be doing the 
>same thing that you were doing before, but many 
>times the worst things that happen to us are the 
>best.  And it is true that you do not see it 
>that way when you are experiencing the worst, 
>because it is not the best thing at the 
>moment.  But give it time and give it breath and 
>you will see that your life will turn out better 
>because of this tragedy.  Just don’t give up.
>
>Joe:  I have a question.  Actually, I have 
>two.  The first one, I was wondering
About a 
>month ago I had made a request to have a meeting 
>with you.  And that request was 
>acknowledged.  But to date I have not been 
>honored with your presence.  I am not the type 
>to assume as to why this would be.  Recently 
>when I have made requests to have the presence 
>of another entity, if you will, that request has 
>been acknowledged.  So I am wondering, in our 
>case, why that request has not happened or taken place yet?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I hope that you come to 
>realize how I work, how I think.  It is not of 
>me to give in to the impatience of others.  And 
>I am not saying that you are impatient.  But I 
>am saying that there may have been others that 
>do not value that patience and have given in 
>simply because they believe that in doing so 
>they will win your favor.  And I did say that 
>you will be contacted, but did not say that it 
>would be me.  Nor did I promise that I would be 
>the one to personally contact you.  Be patient 
>my friend.  You are not forgotten and you have 
>not been ignored.  Besides, you have been observed.
>
>Joe:  It isn’t an issue of impatience.  When we 
>last spoke you mentioned it would be a couple of 
>days, if I remember correctly.  So it is not so 
>much an issue of impatience.  It is more or less 
>an issue of trust.  I am fully aware, based on 
>some of the things you have mentioned in the 
>past, that your translator, George, is in 
>contact with someone.  I am quite confident of 
>that.  But I have always come from the school of 
>thought that no person of God, none, should ever 
>be afraid to make himself known.  And I am not 
>saying that you are afraid to make yourself 
>known.  But, anytime I have made a request, it 
>was acknowledged and it was acknowledged fairly quickly.
>
>But if I am to listen to you, or if anyone, for 
>that matter, is to listen to you and take what 
>you say seriously, then (by the way I am not 
>testing you or challenging you).  I thank you 
>for a lot of the things you have to say are very 
>positive and important.  But, I think, 
>ultimately when it comes down to it, if there is 
>any ounce of sincerity in a person’s heart, 
>then, it goes without saying, that if they truly 
>want to know, it shouldn’t be beyond that person 
>or entity providing that bond or that trust.
>
>And yet I
  even Jesus was not afraid to (he 
>didn’t perform parlor tricks) to people who were 
>sincere of heart.  He did make some form of 
>acknowledgment.  He did, in some way or another, 
>give people a reason to believe.  Not just by 
>what he said, but by how he acted.  And I 
>haven’t picked anything up on you.  And I am not 
>saying that I don’t trust you, but, I am just 
>trying to figure out where you are coming from and why it is taking so long?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  Where I come from, my 
>friend, there is no need to devise a reason to 
>believe.  You simply believe and you simply feel 
>it inside you.  When I said you were observed, 
>the decision was made to not contact you because 
>it meant that it might contaminate the decisions 
>that you are dealing with right now.  This is 
>something you must decide on your own.
>
>Joe:  Serena had contact with me a week ago and 
>I felt a love that you can’t express.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  And was that enough to 
>convince you, my friend?  Was that enough to fully
?
>
>Joe:  It was enough to convince me that

>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  For the moment..
>
>Joe:  It was enough to convince me that there 
>was something to her, at least.  There was 
>something about her.  There was something that felt good, but

>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I am not looking to have 
>you believe in me.  I am not looking to have you 
>believe in all the teachers in the Teaching 
>Mission.  My mission here is to have you believe 
>in God.  And to the true Source and Center that 
>exists in all of us.  That has always been my 
>mission from the very beginning.  I do not seek any acknowledgment towards me.
>
>Joe:  Again, as I said, with all due respect, I 
>am not in any way trying to challenge you or 
>test you.  I am just saying that it bears to 
>reason, in my mind at least, that it is not 
>unreasonable to desire to, well, simply, to be 
>reasonable about situations and circumstances 
>and, personally, I don’t speak for Father God, 
>but I would think that in some ways, yes, faith 
>is important, but I also think that there comes 
>a point where sometimes there are things that do need to be revealed.
>
>I would have never believed as truly as I do 
>today that the Urantia Book was a source of 
>revelation, had I not been contacted 
>initially.  That was special to me.  And it 
>would be special to me to also have some kind of 
>communication with you directly.  Because at 
>least, in my mind, that would help me, I think, 
>in coming to some understanding of where you 
>stand and whether or not we can trust each other.  That’s important to me.
>
>And, with respect to your telling me about 
>decisions I am making right now, be that as it 
>may, it should not be told to me that a request 
>should not be granted if, in any way, you had 
>suspected that some of these choices I am making 
>right now are taking place.  So, and again, I am 
>not trying to criticize you.  I respect what you 
>are doing.  I think you come into this with very 
>good intentions and I appreciate a lot of the 
>wisdom that you have shared.  I am just saying 
>that it is important to me to know and, in the 
>past, whenever I have requested it, whenever I 
>have truly been sincere of heart, there was not 
>a time, as of late, when I was not contacted or 
>where I did not pick up on something.
>
>And, so far I have not picked up on you, my 
>friend.  So, like I’ve said, no person of God 
>has any reason to fear making their presence 
>known.  And I know, I know I am guided well.  I 
>know that and I know that if that’s true,  what 
>George is in contact with, if it truly is of 
>God, I think it would be reasonable enough to 
>expect that in some regard or some form that I 
>could pick up on that just as easily as I have 
>other entities that have shared similar intentions that you have expressed.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  It is not out of fear that 
>we do not contact you.  It is not out of fear 
>that we hold back.  We are not afraid of what 
>might happen if we do contact you.  I am 
>contacting you right now, am I not?  What we do 
>see is that you are in a crossroads in your 
>life.  These are choices that you must make on 
>your own, without our influence, without our 
>direct guidance.  We do not intend to be a 
>crutch to you where you depend on us for every 
>decision that you make in your life.
>
>Joe:  Nonsense.  That’s not true.  I’ve always

>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  Let me finish.  (I 
>will)  We intend that you look inside yourself 
>and you find your own strength, your own wisdom, 
>your own choices.  That you find that spark 
>within you and that connection that has always 
>been there and depend on that.  And something 
>that is inside you that is your core, that is 
>your goodness.  We intend that you believe in 
>yourself before you believe in others.  We 
>intend that you find this truth that exists 
>within you before you find the truth in others.
>
>Joe:  I have always said JarEl, and you have 
>said this as well, that what you say and what 
>anyone says is irrelevant.  And I have always 
>believed that, albeit, it has been difficult and 
>I think it has been difficult for a lot of 
>people.  It is very easy, I think, to lean on 
>someone when it is hard to find answers.  But, 
>in no way, did I ever see any contact between 
>you or anybody else, as a crutch, never, ever.
>
>And I’ve been contacted many times, many 
>times.  And in no way did I even suspect, for 
>one moment, that the love I felt a few days ago, 
>in any way was set to mislead me.  I can’t see 
>that.  Rationally, I can’t.  I’ve always known 
>what’s right and wrong
always.  And I don’t need 
>anybody to tell me that.  I don’t need
it 
>doesn’t matter who I am, it doesn’t matter where 
>I stand, I don’t care if I had to throw 
>everything away, I don’t.  But, and I’ve already 
>made up my mind.  So, I don’t see why it even matters.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  It matters because you are 
>on this journey, my friend.  You are on this 
>path to finding yourself, to believing in 
>yourself.  You are on this path that you must 
>now travel alone.  (inaudible)
because it is 
>your life that you are living.  It is not our 
>lives.  We are not living your life as a surrogate.
>
>Joe:  I don’t want a babysitter.  I just want validity.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  And you will find it.  But you must be patient.
>
>Joe:  And I have.  I am just following up on what you had mentioned to me.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  Then be patient.
>
>Joe:  You told me you would visit within a few days.  And again

>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I said you will be 
>contacted.  And you are being contacted.  You 
>just do not see it.  You expect the contact to 
>come in your familiar tones and that is not the 
>way that you are being contacted.  You must find 
>new tones and new frequencies that exist.  You 
>must quiet your mind to these subtler tones that 
>exist in the universe.  You must change the 
>frequency of your knowledge.  You must find 
>those higher more elevated frequencies that 
>exist.  You need to do this for yourself in 
>order to receive these new messages.  And that 
>is the path that you are traveling.  And if you 
>expected this contact in the familiar tones, 
>then you are greatly mistaken because they will 
>not come to you in that fashion.
>
>Joe:  Why would anything try to contact me in a 
>manner which I could not comprehend?
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  The path is for you to 
>reach up and find it.  This has always been 
>about you reaching up and us reaching down.  We 
>don’t want you to stay on the same plane, the 
>same spiritual plane.  We want you to move up 
>and forward.  And that is why we give you this 
>challenge.  If we wanted you to stay stagnant, 
>God would be revealed to the entire world at 
>this moment, his presence would be known to 
>everyone and there would be no need for people 
>to believe because they would see.
>
>Joe:  That’s not what I am asking.  That’s not what I am requesting.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  I am not saying that is 
>what you are requesting.  I am simply giving 
>forth an analogy.  What you are requesting is 
>contact with me or with one of my colleagues.
>
>Joe:  JarEl, all I am saying is that I have come 
>across a lot of extraordinary people in my time, 
>who have had extraordinary talents, who can do 
>extraordinary things, and who have spoken of 
>love, who have spoken of truth, who have spoken 
>of many good things.  And yet, on deeper 
>analysis, when you really look deep inside these 
>people’s souls, you don’t see what they say, it 
>is not what they say, it is not what they 
>purport themselves to be.  I think there is even 
>a quote in the Bible, and, again, I am not 
>testing you.  But it says even an angel of 
>darkness can appear as an angel of light.  And I 
>have seen a lot of people like this.  And I am not saying you are a bad person.
>
>But I am saying that never, ever, when I have 
>requested any form of presence, with a sincere 
>heart, and wanting to know that I can have some 
>kind of trust.  That is so important to me, so 
>important to me.  I have been hurt a lot in this 
>life and I have a lot of issues with trust and 
>I’m sure you know that.  So it does not seem 
>unreasonable, it does not seem impatient to 
>me.  And this has nothing to do with my faith in 
>God.  That has never been an issue.  Certainly I 
>do not know everything there is to know about 
>God.  I acknowledge that, I am not perfect.  I 
>am taking the journey just like everybody 
>else.  But my faith isn’t a question here.
>
>So again, I am going to humbly make my request 
>again that there be contact with you and me.  I 
>am not seeking contact from someone else.  I 
>need validity from you.  That is important to 
>me.  It needs to be from you.  I have gotten my 
>perks from others.  I can’t even tell you the 
>love that I felt a few nights ago.  I can’t, 
>there are no words.  I want some proof.  Again, 
>it is not a challenge and it is not
I don’t see 
>it in any way as a threat or imposing.  I know 
>why I am here and I’ve already made my decision 
>about everything, so, that’s not a question.  So 
>I would appreciate it if you would acknowledge 
>your presence at some point in time.  It would 
>mean a lot to me and it would have to be from you.
>
>JarEl:  TR, George.  There are many conditions 
>that you set forth.  There are many conditions 
>of proof that you require.  I will attempt a 
>contact, but if you cannot reach me, do not see 
>this as failure.  Challenge yourself to find 
>this new frequency that exists.  It will be beneficial to you.
>
>Joe:  I understand what you are saying, but, still, the logic that you are

>
>JarEl:  TR, George. I am not talking about logic 
>here.  Belief isn’t about logic.
>
>Joe:  No, no this isn’t about that.  It’s
