Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you so much for this meeting and
for all of our friends; brothers and sisters who are gathered here.
Please open our minds and our hearts to hear the truth that you have for
us from the Teachers, from Michael, from Nebadonia, from the Spirit of
Truth, wherever the truth comes, let us be open to it. Help us to
be wiser, help us to be filled with Your Love and Light so that we can be
better ambassadors for you in this time. We love you very much, in
Michael’s name, amen.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George: Good evening, it is I, your teacher,
JarEl. It is good to be among you once again, among my dear
friends. Welcome, to those of you who are here for the first
time. I greet you with open arms, as I am sure the others sitting
around you also greet you. It has been awhile since I have
addressed this group. I surely do miss speaking to you. I am
glad that we are once again on schedule. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of you for coming here tonight. For making
the effort and for taking time out of your busy lives in order to join
us. <br><br>
Tonight I would like to discuss with you the recognition of the presence
of God within you. As you were speaking in your prior conversation,
God does exist in each and everyone of you as your
Thought-Adjuster. God quietly communicates within your mind and
your heart so that you may come forward and inward to his love and
grace. God is quiet so that you may perfect yourself to become who
you are destined to be. God sees you as a perfect being and you
exist in this way. He does not see your imperfections for you have
none in your future self. You are perfect in everyway to God.
It is up to you to bring yourself into this perfection that exists in
God’s mind. It is up to you to listen to his will and his
guidance. He quietly nudges you, guiding you into his light.
<br><br>
How do you listen to these messages? Simply by quieting your mind
and listening to your heart and mind, that is where God exists.
This is where the wisdom of the universe will be poured through.
You must quiet your mind in order for this portal to open so that the
information may flow through. Many are busy, not taking the time to
quiet their heart and mind, entertaining too many ideas and worrying
about conflicts. For many it is very hard to have a moment of
peace; for they are in constant struggle and chaos. They find it
very hard to sit in silence. For those that do learn to quiet their
minds, they are able to do this because they have faith in God and in the
Universe around them and have learned to trust their
Thought-Adjuster. They have learned to listen. When you learn
this very practical state of mind you become aware of not only the people
around you but also of the invisible that exists all around you.
You become aware of Teachers, you become aware of your Thought-Adjuster
and you become aware of Angels and Midwayers. There is a whole
order of angelic help who are willing to assist you in everyway.
When you quiet your mind you begin to listen to the Father’s Will.
<br><br>
The Father’s Will is LOVE and understanding. It is the brotherhood
of man. The Father would like for all of you to get along and to
resolve your differences with one another. The Father would like
for you just to love one another and to extend your hand out towards your
brothers and sisters. These are general suggestions that the Father
gives to all of us. The Father speaks to you in a more personal
manner when you make the connection yourself. He speaks to you in a
more personal way, helping you in your everyday life. You can make
all of your decisions based on the Father’s Will. However, in order
to make those decisions you must learn to listen, you must learn to
meditate. <br><br>
It is true that there are signs that are posted throughout your journey
in life. There are situations that are presented to you in your
life. It is up to you whether you want to act on those
opportunities or not. Life is but a string of opportunities to
connect you with the Father’s Will. Opportunities are handed to you
to act upon. Some are very subtle, yet others are as clear as
day. However, do not feel bad if you happen to miss an opportunity
or perhaps make the wrong decision on a certain situation. All
these things can be corrected in time. What is important is that
you decide; what is important is that you act upon the opportunity that
is given to you. <br><br>
Part of your life experiences in knowing God is being of service to one
another. Understanding this aspect of your spiritual growth will
help you in the future. The service aspect is perhaps one of the
most important aspects of your spirituality. This service-oriented
duty shall remain with you throughout your whole entire spiritual career,
on the Mansion Worlds and well into Havona. So get used to helping
others, get used to being of service. If it seems like a chore to
you right now, perhaps there are other aspects of your own life that you
need to examine and try to understand why you feel this way.
<br><br>
It is not right to be selfish, however, the universe allows you that
space to become selfish. The universe allows you to become greedy
and the universe allows you to become evil. We will not stop your
actions and we will not make decisions for you. We will only give
advice and be there as guides for you. It is entirely up to you to
make your own decisions and your own judgments. We are only here to
help. We are very appreciative when you take our help and grow with
it. <br><br>
Regardless of the way you act or the way you have been, the universe is
all forgiving. It shall welcome you with open arms. We allow
you this space so that you can exercise your free will. We allow
you to have complete knowledge of the inner workings of your free will
and with your free will come closer to God. God as your Father
shall be so grateful to his children who come to him in their free
will. God is even more overjoyed with those children who have lost
their way and who have turned back to him. Free will is key to your
existence. Are there any questions?<br><br>
Henry: Yes JarEl, thank you for your encouragement and your……………..I
would like to ask a couple of questions. 1. Can you make some
comments on how are we to stand this spiritual stance in the times which
we live where everyone seems to be moved by some wind of rhetoric or
agenda or confusion? It’s like a little twister, could you say a
few words on that, please? Thank you. <br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Thank you Henry for your question, I will try to
answer you as clearly as I can. In times like these when there is
so much said and so much done and so much chaos in the world it is
important that you remain steadfast in your faith. In your light
and with your connection with God you are messengers that carry forth the
light and truth. If you preoccupy yourselves with getting caught up
with the rhetoric, then you run the risk of this light be extinguished
from your hand. <br><br>
Henry: Those are pretty strong words JarEl.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. I am not finished. There shall be
forever people and leaders who will try to sway humanity to their own
agenda. The true agenda of the Universe shall forever remain the
same and you know what it is that I am talking about. If you remain
true to this Universe agenda, the politics of the world shall not be
effective over you. Remember that everyone is your brother and
sister, and you must treat them accordantly no matter how unintelligent
you may think them to be. It shall forever remain true that they
hold a Thought-Adjuster within them. One day you will meet them
again on the Morontia Realm and they shall remain your brothers and
sisters. So treat everyone with respect, forgive them for their
ignorance and forgive yourself for your arrogance. Perhaps you will
be able to build a bridge between you which can unite all of
humanity. This shall remain our goal until you are brought into
Light and Life. All I ask you is to remember the original destiny
for this world. You should understand that whatever goes on or what
ever changes are made within your political structure or society itself
is only temporary, but your destiny is Light and Life. Are there
any other questions?<br><br>
Henry: I just have one more question JarEl then I will be
done. Thank you for your words which are quite comforting to be
pulled back into a larger picture on a more Universal perspective and a
Universe religion. 2. Is it possible for you to say a few words about the
current status of agondonters? How important is the agondonter
status to the Universe of Nebadon?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Agondonter status to the Universe is important,
for you are creations of the Universe who can believe without
seeing. This being said my friend does not quality you to think of
yourself as “chosen” or special among the rest of the Universe. It
is a gift to have this status. It is a virtue and, yes, many are
envious of your status. Yes and perhaps you have been tried but it
remains that only a few leave this world with full Agondonter
status. There are many levels that have not yet been
discussed. The majority of Urantians leave this earth with less
then half Agondonter status. So even though you may be aware of
this status, does not automatically qualify you with full Agondonter
status. In the Universe, we admire those who leave Urantia with
full status. For they have proven themselves as true sons of
God. Yes, they shall be given special positions in the Universe
which will allow them to have more of a managerial status, but, given as
a whole, your Agondonter status does not amount to that much. I am
sorry to have to say this to all of you but you must be humbled in this
way. Do not let this go to your head. We are all brothers and
sisters in this Universe. <br><br>
Henry: JarEl, thank you so for what you are saying, I think my
concerns are in a little different aspect, not so much am I concerned
personally about this status or anything. What I am interested in
knowing is - is this planet being kept the way it is, because
of Agondonter status? That is what I am interested in you commenting
on. <br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. The future plans of either Urantia or the
coming of the Magisterial Son shall remain secret for now. We do
not want to create unwarranted commotion over an event that may or may
not come. Rest assured that within your generation your Agondonter
status will remain in tact.<br><br>
Henry: If I may be so bold JarEl, as to ask: is it worth leaving
the planet in the mess that it’s in because of the Agondonter status,
from the spiritual perspective?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. My answer is yes and no. For it is both
beneficial to be alive on Urantia at this moment and leave this world in
the chaos that it’s in. However, it would also be beneficial if it
were in Light and Life. So there are no right answers and this is
an experimental planet so that the experience that you encounter within
your life time is your own and it is unique. So given as a whole,
yes it is beneficial to leave it in the chaos it is in.<br><br>
Henry: Thank you JarEl.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Any other questions? <br><br>
My friends, it has been very enjoyable to have the opportunity to come to
you again and have this beautiful conversation. I look forward to
meeting with you in two weeks. Good night.<br><br>
All: Thank you JarEl.<br><br>

</font><font size=4><i>PAPER 50 - THE PLANETARY PRINCES<br>
</i></font><font size=4>7. THE REWARDS OF ISOLATION<br>
</b></font></div>
<font size=3>Page 578: On first thought it might appear that Urantia and
its associated isolated worlds are most unfortunate in being deprived of
the beneficent presence and influence of such superhuman personalities as
a Planetary Prince and a Material Son and Daughter. But isolation of
these spheres affords their races a unique opportunity for the exercise
of faith and for the development of a peculiar quality of confidence in
cosmic reliability which is not dependent on sight or any other material
consideration. It may turn out, eventually, that mortal creatures hailing
from the worlds quarantined in consequence of rebellion are extremely
fortunate. We have discovered that such ascenders are very early
intrusted with numerous special assignments to cosmic undertakings where
unquestioned faith and sublime confidence are essential to achievement.
<br><br>
On Jerusem the ascenders from these isolated worlds occupy a residential
sector by themselves and are known as the <b><i>agondonters</b>,</i>
meaning evolutionary will creatures who can believe without seeing,
persevere when isolated, and triumph over insuperable difficulties even
when alone. This functional grouping of the <b>agondonters</b> persists
throughout the ascension of the local universe and the traversal of the
superuniverse; it disappears during the sojourn in Havona but promptly
reappears upon the attainment of Paradise and definitely persists in the
Corps of the Mortal Finality. Tabamantia is an <b><i>agondonter</i></b>
of finaliter status, having survived from one of the quarantined spheres
involved in the first rebellion ever to take place in the universes of
time and space. <br><br>
All through the Paradise career, reward follows effort as the result of
causes. Such rewards set off the individual from the average, provide a
differential of creature experience, and contribute to the versatility of
ultimate performances in the collective body of the finaliters.<br>
