Prayer:<br><br>
Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you for this chance to meet together
this evening and to fellowship with each other; to share our views about
many events and to reflect on the experience that Larry and I had at the
Parliament of World Religion’s Conference. Please help our minds
and hearts to be open to what you have to teach us and what we can learn
tonight. Thank you Father for all things, in Michael’s name,
amen.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher,
JarEl. It is good to be back and to welcome all of you back to this
fellowship. I would like to pick up on a theme that you touched
upon Donna and that is how most of you, and in fact the whole world, have
more things in common than things that separate you. This
commonality is what allows the world to function and to survive,
otherwise you would have destroyed yourselves long ago. There are
those of you who are very progressive and persistent and continue to
improve this world. Recently you have had first hand experience on
this commonality. It is not hard to see how easily we can get along
with one another. In fact most of you live similar lives. You
all have jobs to do, you have families and you must bring food to the
table every night. There is not that much difference in the way
people live their lives.<br><br>
You may pray a little differently, but that does not devalue the
prayer. In each person’s heart the intention is what counts.
If you would look into each person’s heart, regardless of their religion,
ideology, race or gender, then you would realize that their intentions
are pure and good, in the same way that you would judge your own
intentions. This common ground is where you should begin to build
your alliances with one another, your alliances of peace. This
world will slowly be brought into Light and Life with the alliances that
are made with one another through dialog and cooperation. It is
very important that you expand your knowledge of the world’s races and
religions. <br><br>
The inventions that you have which enable you to communicate with one
another, regardless of where you live, is the means by which the world
will be more united. It is very common to hear your leaders citing
fear into the community by saying that “they hate you”, this is contrary
to your beliefs and to your knowledge. When you realize that the
world, in its entirety, is one, and that it is connected to the Most
Highs, then you will begin realize that this concept of “they hate you”
does not correlate with your belief in this oneness. How can you
hate yourself? That is what it comes down to. By your hating
others or them hating you, there is the idea that you are hating
yourself. For the whole world is one, the universe is one.
<br><br>
When you arrive on the Mansion Worlds you will begin to see the oneness
that exists throughout the universe. You will begin to feel in its
entirety the interconnection that exists through every living
creature. Here on your planet you feel more isolated and
separate. That is because you have lost your connection with the
One. When you begin to meditate and open yourself up to your full
potential you begin to bring in this connection that allows you to feel
the world connection. Many have not made this connection available
to themselves, therefore they are in isolation and they rely mainly on
what their status is from their news media. Ask yourself this
question: do you need someone, like a corporation or a news channel to
tell you how you feel, or how you love or how you hate? You need
but yourself and your connection with God and in turn that connection
enables you to connect with others. There should be no room for
hate in your heart. For hate only separates you from others and
from yourself. <br><br>
Yes, you have more in common, you are all children of God and you are all
destined to the greatness of God. I, as your brother, am overjoyed
to have this connection with you. For I have the privilege to share
this experience with you. I will never regret this experience, for
it has truly meant so much to me. Allow yourself to open up and
connect with those surrounding you. Allow yourself to become one
with the great universe and allow love to flow through you so it may heal
those around you and so it may heal you as well. <br><br>
Henry Z.: JarEl, I want you to talk a little bit about the
relationship between the moral responsibilities of the individual as it
relates to the moral responsibility of the group?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You always have moral responsibility whether you
are a part of a group or not. Your moral responsibility does not
get surrendered the moment you join any group, it continues to
exist. As far as the group is concerned, you cannot force the group
to act in a certain way. You can certainly influence the
group. You can certainly give your opinion. Perhaps by the
value of your opinion and the value of your person, they might respect
your opinion and go your way. There is no such thing as group
morality.<br><br>
HenryZ: Excuse me. There is no such thing as group morality?
What does that mean?<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You cannot group any individuals together and
judge them by their morality as a whole. You have to separate each
and every one of them and evaluate them as individuals. Just like
the twelve apostles, they all joined Jesus and they all followed Jesus,
and they acted as a group but they were all individuals with distinct
personalities and even one betrayed Jesus. It was a small group but
regardless they were a group, yet they were not judged as a whole.
Individuals always have choices in their lives, Henry and they chose to
join or not to join a group. Being part of a group does not give
you any particular identity. You may feel that you have a group
identity but ultimately you will act alone and find God as an individual
and group morality with be thrown out the window and no longer will it
exist when you finally face the true face of God. Ultimately you
will have to be responsible for your own actions. Does that answer
your question?<br><br>
HenryZ: My question is when does the individual have a
responsibility, or does he, to pressure the larger group? I am not
really sure what I am asking but I know that there is a relationship
between spiritual growth, spiritual consciousness and moral
responsibility in terms of how we grow in our understanding of our
personal relationship with God and how that is socialized in the
brotherhood of man? I know that on the ultimate level we are all
working for peace because the fragments of God, in everyone on the
planet, have that agenda at hand. They have to, because that is the
nature of God to want to bring everything into his consciousness and into
his being and likeness.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. You have already answered your question
Henry. There is a direct relationship between spiritual
enlightenment and social responsibility. The more enlightened you
become the more socially responsible you become. Those who
continually drown in relative darkness will soon find out how much they
have to work to become enlightened and to reach the True Source and
Center. If your question is whether or not they are responsible for
what they did as part of the group, yes Henry, they are responsible
because it will show up in their lack of spiritual growth, there the true
work lies.<br><br>
HenryZ: So what I understand you are saying, “we are responsible
for our own actions, we are responsible for our own growth”. Should
we really care about the group or whatever they think or whatever they
do? I mean ultimately should we? I don’t necessarily feel
drawn toward addressing group issues as I feel more drawn to addressing
personal issues or the issues of the individuals, myself. So I am
kind of getting a sense of what you are saying. There is another
saying, “man the individual is smart, man as a group is stupid,” meaning
that the group mentality, because when you get a group of people
together, it changes the dynamic of the group, it is uncontrollable
unless someone with a dynamic personality can and is able to step up and
take control of it.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Exactly Henry, you bring to light a very
poignant and common description. If you put two smart individuals
together, you can create wonders. If you put a whole group of
realized individuals together, they can create a nation. It depends
on who you put into a group. If you continue to work on yourself as
an individual and grow spiritually you are caring about the group as a
whole because you care enough to work on yourself. You care enough
to better yourself so you may in turn help others. If you put
realized individuals who have grown spiritually and overcome the
obstacles of life, you will see wonders happen, it depends on who is in
the group and that will always be the case. Again, I say there is
no group morality for it is all individual.<br><br>
HenryZ: Very good JarEl, thank you.<br><br>
JarEl: TR, George. Are there any other questions? ……………….Very well
my friends, as I have said before find your common ground, find what
unites you all and you will be well on your road to peace, good
night.<br><br>
All: Good night JarEl.<br>
