Questions:  Won’t things be easier when we get nearer to God?
                    Can I share a little speech I wrote for the group?

Prayer:  Larry:  Dear Father, thank you for our 
gathering.  Thank you for all of the blessings 
that you have bestowed on each one of us.  Help 
us to be good stewards of    those blessings.  We 
pray for our country and the world.  We pray for 
peace.  We pray for a statesman to come forth to 
lead our nation into a better direction.  We pray 
for light and life and the coming of 
Monjoronson.  We love you God.  In Christ Michael’s name, Amen.

JarEl:  TR, George:  Good evening.  It is I, your teacher
 JarEl.

Lucille:  Welcome

JarEl:  TR, George:  It is good to be back again 
and I would like to welcome those who have not been here for a while.

If you recall, last time we met, I urged you to 
keep away from fear; fear that brings you down, 
fear that makes you panic, fear that creates the 
possibility of you making rash decisions.  There 
is another line of support to all the peoples of 
the world, to all the peoples of the universe, 
and that support is God.  He binds us, He keeps 
us together and He helps us communicate with one 
another.  And so, He is that support that you all 
have, that you all share.  Regardless of what may 
happen on this planet, that connection is 
constant and consistent.  It shall be with you 
forever, even to the days when you have united 
with Him when you have fused and you are one with 
God.  This connection
 shall never fail you.  So 
as things crash around you, as the world falls 
apart, our God is with us.  Our God comforts us 
and our God loves us.  He will not lead you 
astray.  He will not let you be lost.  If you 
seek Him, you shall find Him.  If you call out to 
Him he shall hear you even before you make that 
decision to call Him.  He knows your intention, 
He knows your will and He knows what you want and 
what you need and He provides accordingly.

God is more than just a support.  He is the core 
from which all of your energy comes.  He is that 
essential wellspring that gives you life, that 
drives you forward and that one day will help you 
achieve your potential.  He is also the person 
who gives you meaning in your life.  Yes, you may 
find meaning independently, but ultimately it is 
connected with the True Source and Center. And
 
this connection, these various connections, are 
reserved for some future revelation to yourself; 
not everything is revealed at this moment, not 
every meaning is explained.  But as you travel 
forward, as you travel inward, you will discover 
all the connections that you have with God.

  It is very important at this time in your lives 
to look inward and discover that solid footing 
that is God.  He is the anchor from which you set 
forward when you sail onto the high seas of 
uncertainty.  And He is that shore that you one 
day will reach once you have traveled and have 
made various adventures.  God is that certainty 
that awaits you at the end of your long day.  He 
is the measure of assurance that all your lifes’ 
work has meaning and worth.  He is the prize that 
you will receive at the end of your long, long struggle.

  So, given the
 relativity of this grand career 
that awaits you, what happens here and now on 
this planet will be of little significance.  You 
will be well taken care of.  God will not give 
you more than you can handle.  The challenges 
that await you after this planet will be far 
greater than what you are being challenged with 
right now.  So do not fret over the situations 
that you all currently find yourselves in, for 
all this will pass.  And when your lives take you 
into the new realms of Morontia, you will face 
new challenges that some of you may find 
unbearable, but yet that will pass as well and 
you will transcend that existence and raise 
yourself up to a new level of understanding and 
spirituality.  And all of these challenges are 
meant to make you a better person, a better soul 
and a better spiritual being.

You shouldn’t be afraid of challenges.  Life
 will 
give you many challenges.  A brave soul faces 
these challenges even if he or she is uncertain 
of what the outcome may be.  Those that are brave 
go forward anyway.  Do not let fear dominate your 
life.  Do not let fear creep into your 
decision-making.  Fear only stifles you, slows 
you down.  Fear only postpones what will be one 
day inevitable.  Fear only retards your 
understanding of how things should be.  Let go of 
these fears and embrace each challenge that faces 
you.  Look at it in an honest fashion and solve 
your life’s problems through calm 
decision-making.  If you use this pattern you 
will have no problem facing your later challenges 
that you will face when you pass the veil of death.

There is so much that awaits you, but before you 
can reach those places, you must pass 
challenges.  You must raise the bar to your
 own 
understanding; you must challenge yourself; you 
must urge yourself to be a better person, a 
better human being.  You must find that inner 
voice that is inside you that speaks to you, and 
you must commune with it.  And all of these are 
challenges that can be overcome, but it takes 
work, it takes perseverance and it takes 
faith.  You are all very capable of doing 
this.  For there is nothing more special about 
some of you than there is of others; you are all 
equal in God’s eyes and He loves you all just the 
same.  So you are all capable of reaching Him in 
various fashions and in various ways, but equal, nonetheless.

Are there any questions here tonight?

Lucille:  I thought when we got nearer to God it would be easier?

JarEl:  TR, George:  That is not true.

Lucille:  That’s what I’m hearing.

JarEl:  TR,
 George.  It is far more complex and 
difficult, but you will be up to the 
challenge.  But it is challenging, 
nonetheless.  The closer you get to God the more 
complex things get, but it is up to you to 
understand all the complexities.  But at the same 
time, the closer you get, the harder it is for 
you to understand the simplest of concepts, for 
the complexities have taken over and made it very 
difficult for you to break things down to their 
most basic and elemental shapes.  Even if you 
were to be face to face with God at this moment, 
you would not be able to pass the ultimate test, 
despite its simplicity, simply because you are 
not ready to understand the question.  The last 
question that is asked of you will be simple, 
comparatively, but will be very difficult to 
answer.  In its simplicity is inherent the 
complexities that exist in all the
 
universe.  Your long travels and your long 
experiences will equip you sufficiently to answer 
such questions, but at the same time, they may 
hinder and handicap you from seeing the truth in its simplest shape.

Are there any more questions?

Joe:  I had a small little speech I concisely put together, if I may?

JarEl:  You may.

Joe:  Thank you.  I think we should value 
immensely, God’s gift of freewill to us, our 
ability to learn through “experience” that which 
we associate as “good” and that which we 
associate as “bad.” The fact we were not created 
in someone’s ideal and allowed to figure out what 
is ideal for ourselves should mean a lot to us. 
It is through experience that we are able to 
improve and develop our personality, which has 
eternal value, and once perfected, is changeless in the face of change.

As our personalities grow
 and develop, we can 
better distinguish between the ideals of 
personality growth and the circumstantial wisdom 
those ideals can apply to. It is through my own 
growth in circumstantial wisdom that I speak to 
you today to make my declaration of intent to 
assist the Magisterial Mission’s efforts.

I would like to share with you (briefly) why I 
have made this decision as I think what I say is to everyone’s benefit:

Many of my interactions with other people and 
“so-called entities” would have you and I believe 
the adjuster is not God. Well, I do not care if 
my adjuster is Santa Claus or Peter Pan, the fact 
of the matter is, if it were not for its guidance 
or loving support, I would not be here today. I 
had a rough journey and it saw me through thick 
and thin. It has emboldened my faith in God and 
given me an inner strength which is priceless. It 
is truly the best friend I ever had. I have yet 
to find fault in its guidance. It has helped me 
and I intend to help it work through me during my 
anticipated tenure and promote its ministry. It 
was the adjuster’s love and imparting wisdom that 
triumphed in my intention to stay.

Additionally, I think I speak for all of us when 
I say we are naturally saddened to see this 
planet so tarnished. To hear of people sleeping 
in trash, children being sold so a family can 
support themselves, people starving, people dying 
of treatable diseases, people suffering with the 
inequity of poor environmental and hereditary 
inheritances; this is not right. I do not think 
we can coexist without the Fatherhood of God and
 
Brotherhood of Man. I hope by us working 
together, we can further promote these ideas.

The unique experiences we have had here will 
allow us to contribute new meanings and values to 
the universe. I know as we move forward we will 
project this attitude in much of what we do. I 
want to close by thanking everyone here for the 
continuing love and support you have provided to 
me and others. I would also like to thank JarEl 
for his wisdom, encouragement, and the faith he has in all of us.
That is all.

Donna:  Thank you

Joe:  You are very welcome.

JarEl:  Thank you for sharing.

Joe:  And I have to thank you for your previous 
advice.  I think it helped me refine my speech 
from what would normally be just a bunch of 
rambling and
 blathering to an unintended audience 
to something that is concise and 
meaningful.  What would have normally been five 
pages was concisely put together in one.  I think 
that what you imparted to me during one of the 
Teaching Mission sessions where I did give a speech
was helpful, so I appreciate that very much.

JarEl:  You are very welcome and I appreciate 
your sharing your insights with this group.  I do 
believe that every single one of you will refine 
the way you relate to the world and the way you 
communicate.  At one point in your career you 
will be able to relate to others in one or two 
sentences and that will be suffice to convey all 
the understanding and all the emotion and all the 
information that you want to impart.  However, I 
do appreciate your efforts to improve yourself.  And with that I leave you.
Goodnight.

All:  Goodnight
 JarEl and thank you.
