George: OK, I am going to start off by recounting a dream I had
this morning. This was in preparation for tonight’s lesson, I
assume. The dream had to do withpart of it with meI was running
through this field of corn stalks to meet these men who were advancing
towards me. I had a machete in one hand and a stick in the
other. When I got to the men I realized that they were my
Uncles. I was running backwards as they were running towards
me. At the same time I tried to stop them with the stick and the
machete. I was swinging at them, I was trying to kill them, I
guess. I didn’t know why at the time. <br><br>
Then my dream jumped to a vision of me searching the newspaper, and I saw
a vision of a boy blindfolded with a machete in his hand. He
was in a play with other children on the stage, the child with the
machete was swinging it around and he didn’t see the three children in
front of him. The picture that was in the paper was of the little
boy with the machete in his hand, swinging it and cutting the faces of
the three children. This was a very disturbing dream, a very
disturbing image for me. <br><br>
I searched for the caption of the image to see what was said about
it. Why was this image here? And what was it
representing? The caption read: “The crowd said, ‘No pas,’
but he did.” That was all that the caption said. It was hard
for me to understand what it meant? But I searched and I realized
that not only was the little boy’s name “Pas” which means peace in
Spanish, but they were also saying, ‘No pas’, meaning no peace. I
also got from the dream, we are all like children blindfolded with
machetes in our hands wheeling them around in this stage of life and
sometimes we don’t see who we hurt. Anyway that was my dream.
Let us now go into the silence so we can communicate with
JarEl.<br><br>
Group Stillness and meditation.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher JarEl.
It is good to see all of you once again, my friends, my family, and my
students. This dream that George was talking about was a set-up for
tonight’s lesson. It speaks of the effects we have on one another, the
effects that you have on other people and how some more than others can
end up hurting another so severely, that it does feel like a machete
slicing through your very soul. The dream is merely representing
the actions that you take sometimes, of the action and words and
attitudes that you put forward. Be aware of who you hurt. Be
aware of who is in front of you. Take your blindfolds off so that
you may see, and grow. You are like children. You are very
much like children, even those of you who have been on this planet for a
very long time. You are still children in the eyes of God. My
children, you are capable of committing mistakes, some not so
severe. These mistakes are just that, mistakes and errors.
The reason why is because the majority of you continue to walk around
with your blindfolds. You continue to act in this tradition, in
this ceremony that enables you to have a weapon in hand. Drop your
weapons, stop the ceremonies and take off your blindfolds. Come to
the realization of the brotherhood of man and the Fatherhood of
God. This is what you need to do to stop hurting each other, to
stop creating barriers between one another. You need to take off
those blindfolds to realize who your brother is and not depend on others
to tell you who your brother really is. <br><br>
In your hearts you know we are all brothers and sisters. You are
light givers, you in this room have taken your blindfolds off; have
lifted up lamps, the candles, the torches. You give light to those
that dwell in darkness. The point is that most people do not see
the light because they wear these blindfolds, which stops them from
seeing any light. They hesitate to remove these blindfolds because
they are following traditions, being part of the ceremony. This is
all focused, geared towards the religions of the world that keep many in
bondage, that keep many blinded. It is OK to remove these
blindfolds, it is OK to seek, and it is OK to ask when you do not
know. It is OK to be confused. Out of this confusion there is
a question and when the question is asked, the answer is given and then
clarity is realized. Do not be afraid to confront these new truths,
this new frontier of knowledge, of spirituality. Don’t hide behind
the blindfolds and expect others to lead you. For they are blind
themselves. Follow what is inside, follow your hearts, and follow
the spark of God that exists inside of you. Become conscious of the
truth that is revealed within you and accept this new profound feeling
that you have, that has grown and will continue to grow for all
eternity. <br><br>
Life is not about rituals or traditions. Life is about seeing, life
is about knowing, life is about realizing. Life is about loving and
being loved. Only you can realize your own life; can give meaning
to the moments that pass day by day. Gather these moments together
and realize the intelligent design that exists within your life.
This is God, this is you. There is a moment that you need to stop being
children and start taking responsibility, by first knowing and seeing
within your heart and then by growing with God. Many on this world
are still children, many are blindfolded. Help them, guide them,
make them realize that they can take their blindfolds off; that it is OK
to see. It is OK to be confused at first; this is only a sign of a
true quest for knowledge. First there is confusion, and then there
are questions, then answers and then clarity. Many of you
have experienced this already. Many of you here have asked the
questions and have received answers. When you are at the moment of
your greatest confusion don’t be afraid to ask, for it is only right for
us to give you the answers that you deserve. Even though you are
children in time, you hold in your hands the library card of the
Universe. With this you can check out any book that you want, you
can acquire the knowledge of the Universe if you so will. As you
grow older, as you grow with the Universe you will more readily use this
card to acquire advanced knowledge. <br><br>
Right now you are unaware of your potential, of the mere fact that you
are children. Do not take this whole lesson as something
degrading. I am merely stating the facts of the Universe. You
shall live for many thousands, and thousands, and thousands of
years. The life that you have lived thus far………you can fill in the
rest. You can imagine the great discrepancies in terms of your
universe life-span; you are still embryos in your mothers’ womb yet to
develop features, but your minds have a potential, your souls are
growing. Yes many of you may grow extensively here on Urantia, that
is your potential, but the facts are that you are still children.
That is alright; because we all love you and so does the Father in
heaven. No matter how many mistakes that you make, how many
transgressions, you will always find forgiveness from God. I will
now step aside so others may speak.<br><br>
Donna: Thank you JarEl for your fine lesson and for the allegorical
dream that the TR George had, so that you were able to present the lesson
in a way that we could imagine in our minds as pictures and then you gave
us a nice explanation of the dream. Yes I agree, sometimes I think
the way that God sees us is as children. Yes indeed, we are so
young and so immature. Those are just my thoughts.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Thank you Donna, are there any more comments or
questions?<br><br>
Stella: How many lifetimes is it going to take the people to grow
up?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You need to have patience; you need to be aware
that you are growing. There is never a point that you can say, “I
am grown up”, because you can always grow more. It is all relative;
you may still be a child three hundred years from now.<br><br>
Stella: Oh God, no, no, no!<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Relative to me.<br><br>
Stella: What did you say?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Relative to me. <br><br>
Stella: Oh, relative to you.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes.<br><br>
Stella: How old are you?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Really old! But really young, too. Like I
said it is all relative.<br><br>
Lucille: JarEl, on the first part you were speaking about using
words that would hurt other people’s feelings. You seem to be
speaking to me today. I have a daughter who is going through some
very trying times. I try to tell her that God loves her and that I
love her, but she misinterprets what I say often. Is there a way to
communicate with somebody who is under the influence of medication or
alcohol? I don’t want to hurt her feelings.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes Lucille, but first let me direct your
attention to the first part of the TR’s dream, which had to do with him
and his Uncles. There was no interpretation to this part of the
dream. What the dream signified was that the generation prior was
in a hurried and frantic state, but they had a purpose. They had a
direction, they had a mission to accomplish. However, George did
not understand what they were doing. He did not understand why they
were advancing towards him? They were not advancing towards him;
they needed to go past him to accomplish something that was not
communicated to him. He in turn saw that as an aggression and
feared for his life and defended himself for what he thought was
right. Sometimes we need to stop and explain to our loved ones,
what we are doing and why we are doing it. Because there is always
a chance that they may not understand your actions or your motives.
At a certain age you start thinking differently. At their age they
might still be thinking about high school or boys or girls or going to
the movies or their car. They are preoccupied with a million other
things that have nothing to do with things that you are preoccupied
with. There needs to be a common ground, a common understanding, a
common level. I know it may be difficult and this may require much
repeating. You must always try to make them understand where you
are coming from and explain to them clearly and decisively. In turn
they will appreciate this. Does this answer your question
Lucille?<br><br>
Lucille: Yes, thank you.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You are welcome…….I would like to leave
you with this thought tonight. Remember that you live among
children and it may be difficult to remove the blindfold that you all
wear, but if you stop and explain to them what you are doing and why you
are doing it, they will gladly allow you to remove their blindfold.
Thank you and good night.<br><br>
All: Good night JarEl.<br>
