Prayer: Norman: Gracious Heavenly Father thank you for this evening, for
bringing us here altogether. We pray that the message that we hear
tonight will bring forth your love into our hearts. We thank you
for being in our presence. <br>
<br>
</i>JarEl: TR, George. My presence is among you. Good
evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. It is good to be among you
once again. The question that I have for all of you tonight is how
exactly can you measure your spiritual advancement? How far have
you come since you began your search for God? This question should
be asked and the answer shall always come forward in a positive
way. Never will you see failures in this path that you have
taken. For this path of searching for God is a path of progression
and advancement, even when it seems that you have taken a step backwards,
there are always many more steps forward. Even when it seems that
you have failed to grasp God’s meanings, it is a victory in a way that
humbles you. For God is very humbling to many of us. We have
all been humbled from time to time. Understanding the greatness of
God is a task that will take many, many years, but beginning to travel on
that path is the essential part which will allow you to continue
surviving throughout eternity. So how do you measure your spiritual
advancement? Very simply, you look back on your life and you look
at the things that you understood and you think about the things that you
understand now. How differently do you realize, how differently do
you treat others and how differently do you treat yourself? Are you
a lot kinder? Are you a lot gentler? Do you see more of the
picture? Are you more tolerant of others? <br>
<br>
The search for God is the search for one’s self. For it takes a
brave soul to look in the mirror and see all of the things which one
could do better and doing it. In many ways that is the search for
God. Just look to God and know what you need to do to get there,
and actually take that step in His direction. That is all that is
necessary at this point in your life. Taking that step in the
direction of God, for always are you getting closer to Him. Always
will your understanding of God increase. Always will you meet many
more challenges that will reveal more of the Father and much of what is
in yourself. <br>
<br>
Your life shall become a constant state of revelation. It is up to
you to see the signs and to see the clues which come your way. It
is up to you to understand the concepts and to learn the lessons which
are presented to you in the problems you face in your life. It is
up to you to take that step forward. You here in this room and
those who read this paper know full well if you have taken that step
towards the True Source and Center of all. So how do you measure
spiritual progress? By now I expect you to know the answer.
By now I expect you to be happy with the progress that you have
made. All of you here in this room have come a great distance from
imperfection to perfection. Even if you feel that you are unworthy
of seeing the face of God, believe me that you are well on your way to
getting there. We your elder brothers and sisters who view the
small steps which you take, one step at a time, know the progress that
you are making. We are very encouraged with your progress for we
know that which you seek for we have traveled the same paths and know the
outcome. <br>
<br>
We are very happy to count all of you as our brothers and sisters for we
see the sincerity in your hearts and minds. We know that what you
do here on this planet will affect millions to come and what you do is
good. That is why we are here to help, we are here to encourage you
and to guide you.<br>
<br>
Are there any questions?<br>
<br>
Anna: I don’t know how tolerant to be of family members who are
alcoholics and drug addicts? I have a hard time being in their
presence without condemning them. I am trying not to condemn them
or chase them out of my house, but I have a hard time being around
them.<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. That is understandable, you are in a very
difficult position. For at one level you have love for your family
members and at another level you do not agree on the things that they
do. It is not our place to condemn, but it is our right to live in
our own space and to tell that other person what we find acceptable and
not acceptable in our space. Tolerating a sickness will do nothing
to help that person. Accepting a condition in which they have
purposely willed to do nothing to help society. You can show love,
but at the same time you can also show rules and regulations in which you
will be tolerant. You are not saying that you no longer love your
brothers but that they can no longer be as selfish as they are and not
see the effect they have on their family. Either you allow them to
indulge their own selfishness and sickness affecting the entire family or
you put a stop to it. That is entirely up to you.<br>
<br>
Anna: Thank you.<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. You are welcome.<br>
<br>
Dennis: Are there any humans existent today, that for whatever
reason were repersonalized?<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. There are mortals who hail from distant parts of
the Universe who once were mortal themselves who died and have come back
in the form of flesh and are on your planet, but none who have left
Urantia have come back in the flesh.<br>
<br>
Dennis: Are they aware?<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. Yes, very much, in fact they choose this
assignment. <br>
<br>
<i>(Editors note: As I transcribed the recording this is the answer
that I received to Dennis’s question.<br>
JarEl: TR, Larry. There are mortals that hail from distance parts
of the Universe who once were mortal themselves who are here in Morontia
form but not in the flesh.) <br>
<br>
On 10/3/2005, which did not get recorded, I asked Jar El which answer was
correct. He stated, JarEl: TR George. That both were correct,
in the case of the first answer he was referring to beings who have
materialized in preparation of the coming of Monjoronson. (Is this
referring to Serena from the transcript from Northern Colorado Team
#72, dated 9/24/2005?)<br>
</i> <br>
Dennis: Thank you.<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. You are welcome. <br>
<br>
Any other questions?<br>
<br>
Norman: The subject has come up on the net that The Urantia Book’s
purpose is for the next thousand years. This being the fiftieth
year of its publication, I was wondering if you have input on how will
the outreach of this Revelation go in the next hundred and fifty
years?<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. Norman are you expecting me to answer this
question relating predictions of the future?<br>
<br>
Norman: No. Will this book be successful?<br>
<br>
JarEl: TR, George. Whether or not this mission is successful is
irrelevant. What is in your heart is relevant, what do you
feel? What you feel is going to happen with the message of The
Urantia Book. As this message touches you in such a profound way,
don’t you think it will touch many others, don’t you think that it will
ring true to thousands and thousands of people once they are
awakened? If I were to do any predictions, I would predict much
success for The Urantia Book and its movement. This entire mission
in not about winning people over so that they may read The Urantia
Book. The mission that we set upon is to expand the knowledge of
God and to make people aware that they are brothers and sisters.
This message is relevant in any form of religion and revealing that God
is your Father is also relevant in every form of religion. So our
mission remains the same, to expand the knowledge of God to the people of
Urantia, bring peace and brotherly love to all nations and to one day
achieve that state of Light and Life on this planet. So for the
next hundred and fifty years I foresee many people working hard to try to
bring everyone together. To try to stop wars and poverty, and to
begin to tolerate one another in such a way that you no longer will you
need to tolerate, for you will love and all that will remain is
love. So be thankful Norman for God has given you such a life to
plant seeds throughout the world. God has allowed you to begin to
see the fruits of your labor. So rest assured that all that you
have planted will one day bear much fruit and wisdom to overflowing
abundance. <br>
<br>
I make no conditions, for I see what is in front of me and I know what is
to be done. I see all of you here in this room. I have seen
all of you grow and I have seen all of you find that path within you and
search for God. So I have a good measure as to your spiritual
progression. Now it is up to you to do your own spiritual
measurement. So take this lesson home for tonight and until next
time, good night.<br>
<br>
All: Good night JarEl.<br>
