Arcadia, California<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher,
JarEl. I am very glad to be among you once again. I was
listening in on your conversations and I found it quite pleasant.
This is the brotherhood that I try to give to you always, the interaction
that you had. It was a very pleasant and peaceful interaction that
all people of the world should have. It would be truly
revolutionary if the leaders of your world would sit down and have a
pleasant conversation. <br><br>
What you discovered tonight is that no matter where you came from, or
your roots, you all have something in common. You all have
something that binds you together. This common ground allows you to
communicate with one another, to share your lives, your memories or
current events. There is not much difference between you; you all
have families, jobs and mortgages. You all have children who you
care for. You will find that most of the time there are more things
in common then there are things which separate us. The separation
only comes from different ideas, different ways of thinking, there is no
real separation. It is only in the minds of individuals in which
separation occurs. When you allow yourself to open up like this,
you invite unity and community. You invite your Thought Adjusters
to communicate with one another which enhances your own experience.
Being sociable brings many rewards. Allowing yourself to be open to
conversations and interactions with your neighbors expands your own
knowledge.<br><br>
I am very glad that you have taken the time to meet with one
another. By this point you have become quite familiar with one
another. However, if a complete stranger comes into your life,
would you be so willing to accept them? Would you be so willing to
open your arms and allow this person to enter your lives and your
community. Let’s say that this stranger is not from your world but
from some other part of the universe, and he looks like a spider.
What would be your first reaction, what would be your attitude towards
this individual? Especially if he is so different from anything
that you have ever seen? <br><br>
Most people would react in fear and that fear would give way towards
other unwanted emotions. Fear most of the time is a natural purely
human emotion which all of you are quite familiar with. Fear is
something that we try to move you away from. Fear is something
unwanted in the universe. However it still remains a fact that you
are unfamiliar with much of the universe. Much of what the universe
is, quite frankly, will frighten you, for you have no idea how to react
towards it.<br><br>
We try to prepare you as much as we can, but ultimately we cannot prepare
you for much of what the universe brings. The preparation that I
would like all of you to have is something that you will ultimately have
to work out for yourself. The preparation I speak of is the
elimination of fear altogether. If you leave this world fearless
you will do much better in the universe. For you will arrive on the
shores of Mansonia with the attitude of a child, with wondering eyes and
a joyful heart, fearless of what awaits you. If I ask anything of
you, it is that you lose all of your fear, that you do away with your
purely human instinct and reach out towards a more highly-elevated
spiritualized attitude. <br><br>
Many may argue that fear is necessary but I have the advantage point from
years of experience and never have I felt that fear was ever useful for
me. Neither do I see it useful for you. Many times do I see
it hinder you and stop you from the things you want, from the things that
you should do. In this small community of yours, you have lost all
fear because you trust one another and you have complete knowledge of
each person’s intention. The goal is to have the same attitude
outside of this room. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to walk into a room
and meet a complete stranger and embrace him as a brother without any
doubts of his intention or motive? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if it
was like that with everyone; if you could be like that towards
everyone? But most of the time you stop yourself because of
doubt, because of fear and lack of knowledge. You don’t think you
know that person well enough to be as friendly as you would otherwise
with your friends. So little by little you begin to build a wall
between you and others because of this lack of trust. Pretty soon
you live in a world of strangers where everyone you meet is a stranger
and no one is trustworthy. This, frankly, is not a world in which I
would like to live. <br>
So if we can change our attitudes, where we lose all fear and lose all
doubts, we will open ourselves up to a deeper and spiritualized
interaction. Do any of you have any questions?<br><br>
Donna: JarEl, you said something about “what if we met a stranger that
looked like a spider”, did I hear you correctly?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes.<br><br>
Donna: Ok, but on this planet, of course where we have seen spiders as
insects and they are usually poisonous or something that could be
dangerous to us humans, we would be conditioned to recoil at something
like that. I thought that The Urantia Book spoke of most mortals on
other planets being up-right bipeds. Even though, of course there may be
a lot of variation on how other mortals would look, I thought there was
sort a of a pattern. Could you expound on that?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes Donna, I was illustrating an extreme type of
human, in which it would be a tremendous challenge for you to
accept. It would be more acceptable for you to accept another type
of mortal who looks much like you, however, your first reaction to a
human who looked like a spider would be fear.<br><br>
Donna: Correct.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. That was what I was trying to get at.<br><br>
Donna: Ok.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. It is simply not enough to think that
there are hundreds of thousands of other species in our universe and they
are all God’s children. This is a realization which you have to
completely accept. The moment that you become challenged by another
of God’s children, this challenge will be hard to overcome if you let
fear into your heart. If you do away with fear and open up your
heart to whatever God has in store for you, then your life and your world
will be much better. I only illustrated the extremes of a spider
type of mortal to initially get that reaction of fear out of
you.<br><br>
Larry: Well it worked.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. As I knew it would.<br><br>
Donna: Ok, JarEl, thank you, I was thinking………..well for an
example, if I knew that this spider-like mortal was from another planet
or something, then I would assume that it was a child of God. If I
knew that, then I could just observe and get to know it better.
However, even on this planet not everything coming from this planet is a
mortal, we have animals here, but if I could see it come in a spaceship
and it flew the spaceship, I would be curious enough to
observe.<br><br>
Norman: That it has intelligence?<br><br>
Donna: Exactly, that is what I am trying to say.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. But the challenge still remains, even
after you have initial communication with this other-worldly human being,
you will still find it hard to accept the way he or she looks.<br><br>
Larry: We have trouble accepting all the races on this world, so
what are we going to do when we get to the Mansion Worlds where there are
many more different races?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes, the root cause of it is fear.
Now if you learn how to do away with your fear while you are on this
world, you will have a much better time on the Mansion Worlds. Are
there any more questions?<br><br>
Lucille: Fear is also a fear of the unknown, if we have more
education would that not do away with the fear?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. That is very true Lucille, that is why we
participate in this Teaching Mission, to bring you knowledge, to
enlighten you and to help you to ease away from the fear. Much of
what I tell you and that you know of your life after this world has
brought much peace to your heart, because you know now that you will
survive and see your relatives who have gone before you. This, for
most people, has done away with much fear, for they no longer fear the
unknown or life after death. There is so much more to learn from
the universe which is beyond these lessons. These things you will
soon learn when you arrive on the Mansion Worlds. The fears that
you all have and the fears that we try to do away with are very basic in
their nature and they don’t go beyond your mortal life. We focus on
those types of fears and, quite frankly, we are doing a very good
job. I know that all of you in this room no longer fear
death. <br><br>
Are there anymore questions? Are there any other teachers who would
like to speak?<br><br>
Like always I truly enjoyed our time together and I hope to see you next
time.<br><br>
All: Thank you JarEl.<br>
