Lucille: Dear Father we thank you for the beautiful world we live
in. We thank you for the many friends that we have here, getting
together to meet tonight to listen to our teacher. Help us to grow
more; nearer to you. We thank you for your love and direction, we
particularly thank you for the words from our teachers.
Amen.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Greetings, welcome all once again to this loving
family; to this group which is so faithful to one another and to the
Teaching Mission. I am so happy to see all of you once again.
<br><br>
You come here to witness what some would consider a miracle.
Perhaps in your minds you are so accustomed to the Teaching Mission that
it has become an everyday event for you and so the miracle is no longer a
miracle but something that you are used to. If I were speaking two
thousand years ago to a group of individuals, my words would be
interpreted as coming from God. They would be written down into
scripture and forever venerated as the Word of God. So anything
that I would have said would have been recorded in time, my words would
have been crystallized in the minds of men and would have become
law. However, that is not the case at this moment, because you
understand the context of my words. You understand that even if it
is I, JarEl, that is speaking to you, it is still coming through the
transmitter/receiver. He can skew my words, misinterpret my
thoughts and mistranslate what I say. So in listening to my words
and in reading them later on you take all of this into account and you
interpret these words with your hearts, with your souls and with the
Spirit of Truth that lives within you. This helps you to understand
what you read and what you hear and helps you to confirm the truth.
In just such a way must you look at scriptures that have been written two
thousand years ago. Try to imagine the person receiving this
information, his level of intelligence, his level of understanding.
Put everything into context. You know that you must take everything
that was said, done and written with a grain of salt. Only with the
Spirit of Truth shall the truth be revealed. The reality is, that I
am speaking to you now, in this day and age, to a group of people who
understand, who comprehend and who do not confuse my words for that of
God or Jesus. Even though Michael may, from time to time, speak to
you. At this moment it is I, JarEl, your group teacher who speaks
to you. You also understand that there are many other teachers who
come from time to time and address this group. The reason I wanted
to bring this to your attention is to illustrate that there is some
degree of the miraculous in what is happening here today; in my
transmitting and your receiving. This can still be called a
miracle. If you wish to think of it that way you are more than
welcome. I prefer you to think of it as an everyday event, as
something that you can do all the time, whenever you want. You can
ask us questions always. We are here to help you. We are here
to guide you. Go into the quiet time and make the connection with
us. <br><br>
The Teaching Mission and the Correcting Time is a reality in this
Universe. A reality that shall become more real for you as you go
further on your journey towards perfection and Paradise. If I were
to tell you everything I know, everything I see or hear, you would call
it all a miracle because you do not understand. It is something
strange to you and you cannot comprehend, but you will, in time.
There will be a time when you will no longer call it a miracle but it
shall be a reality. There will be a day when you will not have the
same body that you have now and it won’t be a miracle but a
reality. There will be a day when you fuse with your Thought
Adjuster and it will be a reality. There will be a day when you are
so close to God that you will understand his mind and that will be a
reality. Do not believe people here when they tell you what is real
and what is not real. You are not the judge of what is real and
neither are they. Reality is far greater than you can
comprehend. It is far beyond the limited mind-capacity of
mortals. Reality transcends even the morontia mind. There are
certain things that are real on your world you should value and these are
love, relationships and friendships. I truly believe that what I
have with you, our relationship, is real. It is tangible and it is
real for me. One day you will know what real is.<br><br>
Stella: I am sitting here and touching things, is not this world
real also?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. This world is material and everything material
passes. Everything material changes, becomes different, is
destroyed, dies and is reborn. My love for you never dies; it shall
endure for all eternity. Answer me this, what is more
real?<br><br>
Stella: Love. Can I touch it? Is it real?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. The reason that you cannot touch God, is because
you don’t have the senses that you one day shall have. You have a
limited capacity to feel love.<br><br>
Lucille: Will our capacity to feel love grow when we get to the
Morontia Worlds or will it grow here?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Let me re-phrase that. You have
great capacity for love obviously, but to touch it, to hold it in your
hand, that is beyond you at this moment, but in your hearts you feel
capable. At this moment you might not understand how it is possible
that love is real when you cannot hold it. You are being fooled by
your own senses. You are being fooled by the limited senses that
you have. When you acquire the new and more powerful senses in the
morontia realm, you will understand what it is to love and why it is more
real than anything you have left behind on earth.<br><br>
Stella: What about hate?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Hate falls to the wayside.<br><br>
Stella: Falls by the wayside? <br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes<br><br>
Stella: There is not memory of it on the other side?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. There is memory, but hate becomes
transformed once love overtakes it. There is no room for hate on
Paradise. You must learn to do away with all of these fear-based
emotions before you enter the realm of Paradise. Everything that
lies in the realm of fear gets lost in eternity. There is no
reference for fear on Paradise, it is not a fearful Universe. It
does not hesitate to create a planet or a galaxy. There is no
fear. <br><br>
Stella: What happens to those people who are very war-like here
when they get on the other side? Do they still want to continue
their wars? Or does that automatically drop away from
them?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Those who are war-like take very little
with them to the morontia realm. In the morontia realm they are
like children who must learn everything new. They have not learned
enough on their native world, so they must begin at the bottom.
They are not allowed to wage war, it is not possible. When they
arrive, they are quarantined, but most importantly they are given
something that they did not receive on their native planet and that is
love. Eventually love conquers whatever hatred, anger or fear they
had. They begin to learn new and wondrous things and they begin to
grow. Their souls flourish with new insight and love. There
is hope for everyone, even the wounded. Consider yourselves
fortunate, for you have advanced much towards the spiritual realm.
You do not require very much re-education. Your souls are replete
with love and understanding. <br><br>
Steve: JarEl, I have been dealing with a lot of fear.
Every day that passes I realize that I have one less day out of however
much time I am destined to have on this planet. My personal
situation at the present has become frightening to me. I spend
quite a bit of time now everyday in the silence. I pray to Michael
and try to commune with him. Yet I have not been able to shake the
fear and I know that feeling and experiencing this sense of panic and
fear certainly is not the will of God. What can I do to alleviate
this?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Steve it is very understandable, your
fear. Believe me there are many like you who are in the same
situation, who are just as afraid as you are. Ask yourself this
question: What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of
dying? Are you afraid of not doing the things that you want to
do? If you analyze your fear, really question the motive behind
your fear, perhaps you would come to realize that your fears are
unwarranted. There is no reason to fear death; it is only a
transition to the next realm, a realm that you will consider as heaven
because there you will experience no pain; no suffering. It will be
everything that you have always wanted. You will be given the
opportunity to fulfill every wish; every dream that you ever had.
Why should you fear such a dream? If you are afraid of not
finishing your projects, not finishing the things that you wanted to do
here on earth, that too is understandable, but there is always someone
there to assist you in your work. There is always someone else who
can help you with your issues. You should be willing to give up
your issues for that Being. You should be willing to allow someone
else to help you and finish what you have started. I understand
your fears Steve. I also understand that the Universe should be
something that should not be feared, that death is something that will
come and go, that you will still be alive. A brave example for this
group was Hal. He faced death with dignity, although he had his
doubts at first, he quickly overcame them. Now he is much
happier. He is doing many things that he has wanted to do for a
long time. He is making new friends and he is always thinking about
all of you. Many of the thoughts that he dwells on are nostalgic to
him and he is very happy because he knows that one day he will see all of
you. He is up there waiting. Why should you be afraid to see
Hal again or your father?<br><br>
Steve: Have my father and Hal met?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes.<br><br>
Steve: That is good.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Believe me that your father is at ease to
be able to see you again. He has much understanding and he wishes
you help in the long run. Let’s be real and let’s accept that
everything material dies, but our soul survives and goes on
forever. Let’s focus on that. Do not be afraid to let go of
this body, only be glad to get rid of it. It’s so full of frailties
and imperfections and it is so easily damaged. The body that you
shall receive shall never die. Of course you will get many bodies;
the point is that your soul goes on forever. You will realize that
your soul was the only thing that was ever real. I hope that my
talk here tonight has helped you Steve to alleviate your fears?<br><br>
Steve: I think it has, I also sense that my father knows that it is
the will of God for me to accomplish much more on this planet despite my
present situation. I may someday realize that down here the gift of
healing, which I hope for this planet, will see a material manifestation
which can be viewed by many individuals and give them hope. My
little contribution in dealing with this world I know, that so many
individuals, even though they are not familiar with The Urantia Book
teachings or this Teaching Mission, so many wish to make like
contributions. There are so many that want to contribute to the
light that is needed on this world. I only hope that I will succeed
in my little way.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You have succeeded more than you know. You
have put in your grain of salt; your grain of sand many times, all of you
have. Perhaps you think that your contributions are too little, but
when you see the whole, when you pull back far enough, you will realize
how much your contribution is worth. Then you will find solace in
your life on this earth. I don’t want you to feel pressured
to make a difference here. You have made a difference
already. What happens happens. It is the will of God that you
are happy in the days, the years that you have left; that is the will of
God, that you love one another. He does not mean to pressure you to
make a difference. The difference is made when you love someone,
when you befriend someone, when you help your friends, your family or a
stranger. Everyone, try to do that, to act; to hope. So
do not kill yourself to try to make a difference here on this
earth. The difference has been made and at the moment it is
sufficient and nothing more is required. It is up to you to act if
you want to. God loves you, you are his children. Take this
time to reflect on your life. Reflect on all the good you have done
here on this earth. Don’t just focus on the big stuff. Focus
on little things. Like being nice to the mailman or to the person
crossing the street. Did you listen to your friend when he was
talking to you, or were you thinking about something else? Little
things like that. Think about the times that you have been selfless
and done something for someone else. Did you help someone change a
tire? Don’t pay attention to the specifics but to the essence of
what I am trying to say; that is the everyday things you may do that
helped bring a smile to a person’s face. That is your contribution
to the greater whole. When you do your meditation, your
contemplations on your life, think about all those times that you brought
a smile to someone’s face. For every smile that you created is a
point of contribution. I know you have created many smiles and
there are many more to come. Reflect on that and you will see that
you have done enough and you have made a great difference on this
earth. Are there any other Teachers who would like to speak?
<br><br>
Are there any questions?<br><br>
Lucille: JarEl, I want to thank you and tell you how much your
lessons mean to me. They are so inspiring and informative. I
look forward to them every other Monday.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You don’t know how that makes me feel,
Lucille. That really touches my heart to hear you say that and to
see the level of gratitude. I am more than happy to give these
messages every other Monday. It brings me great joy to meet with
you and your minds which hunger for new light and truth, thank you.
I will try to meet with your expectations and perhaps surprise you from
time to time with outrageous concepts. If there are no more
questions or comments I bid you good night.<br><br>
All: Thank you JarEl, good night. <br>
