Prayers: Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you for our gathering
here tonight. We love our spiritual brothers and sisters and we love
you. We love this opportunity to listen to the teachers and to hear
what they have to tell us and what they have to teach us. Please
open our hearts and minds to receive that which you would have us
receive, in Michael’s name we pray, amen.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Greetings to you my friends, it is I, your
teacher, JarEl. It is good to be here this evening, to come to you
through a familiar voice. Tonight let us give thanks. There
is much to be thankful for. Tonight I am not interested in the
listing of thanks as I am in the human heart aspects of thanks as a way
of worship and ministry. The whole world would open on a note of
thanks. Hearts would mend all over the world with a word of
thanks. <br><br>
It is important in a spiritual context to recognize all the small crumbs
of real effort everyone puts out in their daily lives just to complete
their daily human tasks; their inter-association with their families,
their loved ones, their work, their business; thanks that everyone takes
for granted. Something many forget to acknowledge in search for
more dramatic praise and dramatic raise (?) and all the while the daily
rudimental mechanism of life gets trudged on and worn down to peat
gravel, sand-sized particles of spiritual reality. It is easy in
the human arena to criticize behavior and to judge a person unworthy by
their behavior, but in the spiritual arena it is much more important to
recognize, not so much the blundering errors of behavior, as it is the
small manipulative steps of behavior, the daily unnoticed things that
people do; unspoken; unheeded. <br><br>
Let us give thanks for our humanness. Let us give thanks for that
omnipotence of God who qualified himself and created this stage of
reality for the express purpose of indwelling us lowly creatures of time;
that God could actually experience human conflict, human confusion, human
doubt and frustration and fear; and slowly guide an amorist consciousness
into some vestige of form; some spiritual attainment through the simple
aggregate of daily toil. Much like an oyster takes a piece of sand
and through constant gestation, grows this piece of sand into a valuable
thing of blustering beauty of translucence and transcendence. It is
not necessarily the great concepts that move man is what I am saying,
thankful for those also. It is the unseen and unspoken things that
most human beings take responsibility for, that is what I’m talking
about. A lot of this is taken for granted and not
acknowledged. In your world, your world view, it is good to pay
tribute to this. <br><br>
There is more of God’s work in those small moments in the martyr of human
daily activities which martyrs those more profound human granite blocks
of achievement; social achievement, generational achievement,
occupational achievement. These things cannot stand alone. It
would fall and crumble if it were not for the daily effort and toil and
care which goes into maintaining who we are as a human species; our
bodies, our genetics, our families and all of the municipal utilities
that go to maintain a civilized way of life in your country and in this
world. People are nation builders and this is a good thing.
This reflexes organization. Nation building will lead to one great
nation in time. So thanks is an attitude of acceptance; acceptance
of the generosity opportunity that constantly is bearing forth fruit in
the daily lives of such a world on which we live. <br><br>
The Father’s acceptance of thanks is his capacity to hold in love, in the
trust of love, qualities of grace, mercy, compassion, forgiveness,
empathy, longsuffering and graciousness. Love is a matrix of
positive form. It is the matrix to which everything aligns itself
and the Father accepts such a new forming and incomplete substance such
as we find on this planet. God is thankful of the tremendous
opportunity he finds in such a vital and vibrant confused, confounded and
otherwise beautiful cumulates. <br><br>
It goes without saying, you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s
gone. How many people, who have traversed and cursed this world,
would not in a moment’s notice accept passage to come back here?
Knowing what they know now, the opportunity that exists, that is closed
to them forever. I am speaking to the choir here, but to the
peripheral audience, the people who may read this transcript, even years
from now, I speak to them. <br><br>
The great and solemn magnificence in Paradise dwells within each and
every one of you. To glimpse, to taste, to access, to be conscious
of and to hold forth in presence is such a task a human mind is called to
witness this spiritual heritage. (I have to apologize it makes me
to feel good to be in this mind again.) As you begin to hold
forth in the presence of God, hold forth in an attitude of
acceptance. <br><br>
Thankfulness is really the ultimate in worship. The acknowledging
of this great mystery in which we are all a part, the magnificent glory
of some future time whose scent can be picked up even here and now, in
this time, in this life, in this planet, on this world. This is
what I’m talking about. It is so easy to lose sight, to disconnect,
to forget who you are, to forget where you come from and where you are
going. <br><br>
There are so many unconscious souls around you who are waiting to be
touched, just quite simply touched; acknowledged “How are you doing
today - God truly does love you, no matter what you have done or
will continue to do. Yes, he will help you if you are only willing
to show the least amount of effort yourself and he has already forgiven
you. When are you going to forgive yourself?” There are many,
many sleeping survivors….many of them were still young. The ground
on Urantia is some of the most fertile ground in the Universe of
Nebadon. Go out and plant some seeds and give thanks to God.
God is good, God is great and God is everywhere. Thank you for
allowing me to present these thoughts to you tonight. Are there any
questions?<br><br>
Stella: I wonder what God will do with all of the trillions of
experiences? <br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. So do I? He may have something up
his sleeve. No one in Paradise had any idea of what the
Super-universes would bring, no one. Even today they are still not
prepared for the Finaliters. <br><br>
Lucille: Did you say that people would want to come back
here? Is that what I understood you to say?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. You heard me correctly Lucille.
Many people suffer the pains of missed opportunity….. if they could do it
all over again…… you see these are the first lessons in the Mansion
Worlds, i.e. to completely analyze what you did and did not accomplish
when you had the opportunities presented to you. <br><br>
Lucille: Don’t we get the same experiences or opportunities later
too? I thought we had to……<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. You get them on the Mansion Worlds, that
is correct, you don’t get them back on Urantia, no. There are
opportunities that you can only get on Urantia. Especially in
Agondonter status, these are opportunities that are quite valuable,
because you cannot achieve Agondonter status on the Mansion Worlds, it is
too late. You can only achieve it here. Agondonter status
does not mean that you came from a planet such as this. Agondonter
status means that you achieve that status on a planet such as this.
There is a difference, many have come from this world but they have not
achieved Agondonter status. Do you understand what I’m
saying? <br><br>
Donna: The status is for those who have believed without seeing, if
I remember correctly?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. There you go. Perfect. <br><br>
Donna: Thank you.<br><br>
Stella: What happens to those who do not believe?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. They go forth. Sometimes people
choose not to believe and eventually choose not to believe and eventually
choose not to be. <br><br>
Stella: So they won’t be Agondonters?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. No, Agondonters is only a qualified
status; it is not the only status. There are many, many roads and
paths to Paradise, but within the network of perfection in the Universes
there is tremendous work to be done and tremendous opportunity for
advancing. The Universe needs to tap all of its resources and
Agondonter is a resource. <br><br>
The three defaults of which this particular planet suffered, suffered
these defaults primarily because the spiritual beings in charge had not
sufficiently been tested, such was required for duty in this world.
Had they been tested on a rebellion sphere their chances of default would
have been lessened. Yet even so this world produced such as Van the
stead-fast. There were many progenies from the material son and
daughter who were also loyal and many of the Midwayers were loyal and
still are. There are also many rehabilitated beings who have
reconditioned into loyalty and there are you here who are loyal.
<br><br>
There is a great and tremendous future for this world. The great
and tremendous future is not at some point, it is in the daily creating
in the moment of now, that is the tremendous future. The decisions
and acts of courage today are God’s consequence for tomorrow. The
planet will benefit in the long run. It is very difficult to
understand that no small act goes unnoticed, that it is all part of the
aggregate which holds the spiritual context of this world. Take for
example, you are in your car on the freeway and you make a gesture of
kindness where you allow someone to move in front of you without reacting
in an aggressive manner. All of a sudden that person is so thankful
and can drive and feel OK about themselves that they might do something
else for somebody else that day. If you would track it or could
track it you may find that this may create a pattern of something that
may move through two hundred and fifty years of life. That is
profound, isn’t it? That one simple act can keep repeating
itself. The concept is that these simple acts will begin to
harmonize. Right now most of these simple acts are still in the
atomic stage, they are bombarding each other, but at some point, and even
now, they are beginning to harmonize. It is a tremendous task, an
intellectual/conceptual task to understand that we can all have different
beliefs, come from different backgrounds, different genetic origins, eat
different foods, have different forms of entertainment and still come
together and work together for the betterment of mankind as a
whole. That is still an extremely abstract concept in the human
genetic consciousness. It is important to shed light into these
concepts. It is OK for all of us to be individual, to think
differently, and even have different beliefs; different religions;
different homes. At some point even if and when this world reaches
Light and Life these beings, these humans will have to go to the Mansion
Worlds and finally to the Constellations where here again you are going
to meet beings who are completely unique and different from you, just as
arrogant and self-righteous as you are, just as proud. Yet
you will have to work together for something greater than yourself.
The survival of the group, the survival of the group is much more
important than the survival of the individual. The individual can
only survive when the group can accept the individual. Think of
what I’m saying. Are there any questions?<br><br>
Stella: Then the individuals such as the children and the women and
the men who are being exploited around the world almost like slaves,
don’t count? They are individuals.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. The group counts. The family, the human
race as a whole group counts. All the actions of an ideal world go
to supporting all of the individuals in the group. Right now what
you have on Urantia are not groups of individuals, you have groups of
people surrounding an individual in power or in charge who is influencing
every other individual how to think and what to do, in explicit conflict
to what other groups of individuals are doing. So what you have is
all of these groups fighting each other. Once the groups realize
that the individual is not as important as the group, that the ego is not
as important as God’s will, because God’s will is with the group, the
planet and its inhabitants as a whole. True, God does indwell the
individual for the express purpose to modify and transform that
individual. In an ideal whole you can see this happening more and
more. You are begin to get a sense of it on your world, especially
in yourselves. This is why on a personal level of spirituality
everything that you do is important. This is what I was speaking of
in the lesson tonight. Every little thing that you do, things that
you take for granted. Every breath that you take gives life an
expression to God. Every thought that crosses the consciousness in
your mind gives expression to God or in some instances holds you back
from giving the proper expression at that moment. A lot of people
are thinking negative, it is dysfunctional, and it’s not serving
them. So it is not an understatement when I say that Urantia is the
most fertile of soil for spiritual growth, for there is tremendous work
to be done. Tremendous, tremendous opportunity for consciousness
and in doing God’s will, you invariably learn who you are and who you are
becoming. Because you become known for what you do and how you do
it. Any other concerns?<br><br>
Lucille: How do we know if we are doing God’s will?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Well, that is a very good question
Lucille. That is like saying, how do we know that we are not doing
God’s will? That is also a good statement isn’t it? If God
has something specific for you to do, he will make it known to you.
God’s will is not necessarily some grand edict that proceeds from some
celestial palace. God’s will is inherent in the life form which was
implanted on this world. It is in your genetics, you carry God’s
will in your blood: the will to live, the will to love, the desire to be
better tomorrow than you were yesterday, that is a large part of God’s
will. And there are those of you who exhibit propensities for
certain things that are needed in the spiritual sense, especially those
of you who are receptive to the spiritual mode of operation. These
things are revealed to you also. This is all part of God’s
will. God’s will is multi-level, multi-dimensional and it exists
beyond time and space. It encompasses pre-birth as well as
post-death. God’s will is this world and you on it with all the
plants and animals and life as it is attaining itself are God’s
will. Conflict resolution, negotiation and relationships are just
as much a part of God’s will as changing personal negative habits in your
life: learning how to be a better person, a better parent, a better
lover, a better husband, a better wife, a better person in the work
place. God’s will is also this small simple grain size aggregate
that I was talking about that holds the big chunks of conscious
achievements together, any other thoughts?<br><br>
Larry: I have often thought or asked whether I was doing God’s will
or not and just recently I have come to the understanding that God’s will
is when we are being positive, when we are doing acts of love and doing
things with a passion. When we treat every situation and do it in
God’s love and we do it with passion and we really get excited about it,
this is God’s will, we are moving forward. So it is really God’s
will that we make choices, make decisions and then we follow through by
our actions. Those actions are being positive, being loving, being
kind and just being passionate about it. If you are doing that then
you don’t have to worry what is God’s will because you are acting in the
situation that you are in right now and you are just doing it out of
love, you are doing it out of concern. You want to be a better
person and you want to help people. <br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Exactly, God’s will can actually be a way
of living. It can actually become second nature, you can actually
own it, and you don’t have to question it. It is not important for
you to dictate everyone’s behavior. They have someone inside of
them dictating behavior. They are either listening or they are not
listening. When you begin to listen and you are conscious you are
doing God’s will because you are responding to God’s consciousness within
you, are you not? This is exactly what Larry is saying. It
does not necessarily have to be something as profound as a biblical
revelation, “Take my people out of bondage and walk across the water into
a foreign land and I will make thee green verdant pastoral
pastures.”<br><br>
Donna: Love is the desire to do good to another. <br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. I think if you are really consternating
on what’s God’s will then just have the guts to ask God what it is he
wants of you and he will bring it to you. Then you can ask
yourself, “am I doing what he has asked me to do or am I not.”
<br><br>
Larry: Actually every decision we make is a part of God’s will,
acting on what he is bringing to us and acting on the plan he has for
us. <br><br>
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. It does come down to that, doesn’t
it? You either choose to move forward………you see this is one of the
doubtful confusing concepts which exist on a rebellious sphere, such as
this. This is why the plan originally for the Princes’ staff to
come down here was to settle into the culture and to propagate God’s
will. So that at this stage of the game it would be way automatic,
as a matter of fact it would already be the dawn age of Light and Life
had the rebellion not happened. You have a lot of the technological
achievements already necessary for Light and Life. You have not
qualified yet with the human condition part. So it would have
already been part of your heritage that you just would have accepted, it
would not have been something that people would have gone around
questioning. They are already in the active and service-oriented mode,
that is how you live and that is how everyone lives. You don’t have
people sabotaging your situations and things; confusing and confounding
things and trying to cut people off and steal, rob and rape; plunder and
confuse and destroy and arsonists. You would not have all of
that. <br><br>
So as Agondonters, as those of you who have believed without seeing, it
is more like what Larry has said, every decision you make, you are either
consciously working with God’s plan or you are in some form working
against it. It is not so important to judge, it will become obvious
to you if you are working against it or you are working towards it.
In general if you are working towards it, it becomes a little
easier. If you are working against it……….God’s plan is not going to
allow a lot of wrong doing to come into it. It is not going to
bring a lot of evil into its patterning. It can’t because it has to
resonate with love, like Donna was saying. Love is God’s matrix of
existence in time and space. It is the pattern of reality, of
spiritual reality, love. If you put it on a balance scale and does
not match some love quotient, you can’t sell it as God’s will. You
just can’t, can you? It has to have some love quotient, some
portion of love. That is the gold standard: LOVE. God does
not take the federal reserve notes, he takes the Gold Standard, he takes
the real thing. God wants the love, the thankfulness, the
acknowledgement, the forgiveness. He wants the forgiving of
yourself. He is not asking you to run all over the world, is
he? There is enough right where you are standing. There is
enough to do. Thank you very much and I look forward to seeing you again,
have a pleasant and wonderful Thanksgiving.<br><br>
All: Thank you JarEl.<br>
