Pato in his outreach?<br> Do you have any further advice for Stella for her healing?<br><br>JarEl: TR, George: Good evening. It is I, your Teacher JarEl.<br><br>Lucille: Welcome.<br><br>JarEl: TR, George: It is good to be back <br>again. It is good to be in the midst of this intimate group.<br><br>I do sense that you, as people, as Urantians, are <br>beginning to have hope for the future, hope for <br>the world, hope that your planet survives this <br>age that you are currently going through. I do <br>sense that you are beginning to be more positive, <br>more forward-looking. I do sense that you have <br>determined yourselves to trudge along for the <br>foreseeable future in order to bring this better <br>age into reality. And I do commend you all for <br>this attitude for it benefits the future, it <br>benefits the next
generation. It is no longer <br>okay to be complacent or pessimistic. There are <br>too many things going on in your world for you to take on this attitude.<br><br> The world is changing and it is getting <br>better. What you see most of the time are <br>growing pains that occur here and there because <br>of the changes that are occurring. There is an <br>underlying cause for the effects that you <br>see. And it is this cause that you must focus <br>on; this cause of people, in general, having a <br>more positive outlook, being willing to change <br>their world, their planet. There are those who <br>will fight to keep things the way they are. But <br>change is stronger, change happens no matter what.<br><br> But I do want to bring this down to a personal <br>level. For, ultimately, everything begins with <br>one person and as you grow spiritually you learn <br>that you have changed. You
learn that you have <br>grown and have developed in such a way that if <br>you were to compare yourself with some past self <br>you would see the obvious. You would see the <br>changes that have occurred. Aside from the <br>physical, you would see the spiritual changes, <br>the changes that are within the heart. And, yes, <br>you may even see times in which you have gone the <br>other way; instead of getting better, you have <br>gotten worse. But ultimately, you always come <br>around to the better. This is the type of change <br>of which I am talking about. The change which is <br>in yourself, the potential of being a better <br>person, a more noble person, a person full of compassion and forgiveness.<br><br> It is too easy to condemn and it is too easy to <br>be angry at one another. But it takes courage <br>and wisdom to forgive and to love. And I implore <br>you to love one another, to care for
one another <br>and to forgive one another. You are all growing <br>and maturing and you all make mistakes. Don’t be <br>too quick to jump on someone who has made a <br>mistake. Learn to forgive them for one day it <br>will be you who makes that mistake and you would <br>like them to do the same – to forgive you. Put <br>yourself in someone else’s shoes and try to <br>imagine what they are going through. Try to <br>imagine their own experiences, instead of just <br>hunkering down in your own skin. This is the <br>core basis of brotherhood; loving one another and <br>embracing your brothers and your sisters, knowing <br>full well that they are fallible but yet have the <br>potential to love and to care.<br><br>As you have matured and, most of you have, come <br>to this age of wisdom in your own lives, where <br>you can see the world and you pretty much know <br>how it works. Yet you are still surprised from
<br>time to time. But, comparatively speaking, you <br>are no longer that adolescent, that idealist, who <br>thought the world should be a certain way and was <br>sorely disappointed when he or she found out that <br>people are not perfect. You have discovered and <br>have experienced in your own lives that people <br>aren’t perfect. And despite that fact, you have <br>learned to love and forgive one another.<br><br> I ask you to continue that. I ask you to <br>continue to grow in your own graces and mature <br>with your beautiful spirituality and elevate <br>yourselves to the lessons of Morontia. For one <br>day you will be there and you will be <br>prepared. This world is passing through. It <br>will be just a memory for you one day, a place of <br>origin, a somewhere you left behind. The destiny <br>that is in front of you is so much greater and <br>glorious; there are so many things to see and
<br>moments to experience. Comparatively speaking, <br>you can no longer look at your world the <br>same. You will be fascinated by your new <br>adventures so that looking back to this world <br>will be a sad notion. I ask you to come out of <br>the shadows of this world and elevate yourself to <br>the beautiful life flowers that exist in this <br>universe. Hallow yourselves to the calling of <br>God, to the drawing power of the True Source and <br>Center and begin doing that by loving one another, forgiving one another.<br><br>Are there any questions here tonight?<br><br>Stella: You say that the world is getting <br>better. I can see that in some ways, yes, but on <br>the other hand there is so much greed, anger and <br>killing, it almost seems as if there is more of <br>that going on. Is the world getting better or isn’t it?<br><br>JarEl: TR, George: My dear Stella, the world
<br>is getting better. And despite you seeing more <br>of this greed, anger and hate, that is simply a <br>matter of you being able to see more<br>because the world is more connected. The world <br>has shrunk in many respects. You are able to see <br>what is happening on the other side of this <br>planet in an instant. There has always been <br>greed, anger and hate on this planet and perhaps <br>there was even more in the past. But what has <br>happened now is that people are beginning to <br>think in different ways and they are beginning to <br>act in different ways. And they are beginning to <br>identify these greedy people, these angry <br>people. You see them more and more because your <br>news agencies focus on them. And, yes, it is a <br>focus that is uncalled for. But, yet, they do it <br>to display the worst of humanity.<br><br> But you, as people, are better than
<br>that. You, as a world, have grown and have <br>matured. And there is so much greatness that is <br>not shown on your televisions. There is so much <br>goodness that is yet to be displayed to the rest <br>of the world. What you see is just a minority, <br>sporadic events that are all over the world. But <br>they are shrinking, they are becoming less and <br>less. So that when the next time you see this <br>happening, it will be a shock to you because you <br>are not used to seeing it in your circle of <br>friends, your own little world. And, yes, these <br>things should be shocking, should be <br>abhorred. There shouldn’t be any complacency to <br>evil. It should be contrasted with goodness and <br>love. And more and more people are denying <br>evil. More and more people are standing up <br>against corruption and hate and greed. And you <br>see this happening all over the
world. That is <br>why I say that the world is getting better.<br><br>Are there any other questions?<br><br>Norman: Thank you JarEl for what you have spoken <br>tonight. I have a question. We have an outreach <br>program of reaching 50 states this coming year, <br>this will be led by your servant <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(0, 102, 204); cursor: pointer;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1221078547_2">Pato <br>Banton</span>. How best can we assist at these events?<br><br>JarEl: TR, George: I am sure you know what to <br>do. I commend you for your willingness to be a <br>part of this, to be the initiator of such <br>events. I also commend our brother Pato for <br>giving so much of himself. I do promise you this <br>- that you will bring hundreds of people into the <br>kingdom, you will illuminate them and you will <br>make them aware of their reality and all this <br>because of you,
because of all of you. It is <br>beautiful to see this happening and here you are <br>as an example of how things are changing, how <br>things are getting better. I think you are aware <br>of what you need to do to improve your chances of <br>succeeding and reaching more people. I think you <br>are just looking for confirmation that what you <br>do is good. So I do say to you that what you do is good.<br><br>Norman: Thank you.<br><br>JarEl: Are there any more questions?<br><br>Norman: Yes, Stella’s hand and the healing of <br>her illness which was due to the mistreatment at <br>the hospital, is there anything besides you can <br>give us as to how best to pay attention to her <br>needs and help her fingers and arm get back to working in proper<br>order?<br><br>JarEl: TR, George: It is unfortunate that our <br>sister Stella has suffered so. It is a fact that <br>the body deteriorates and yes,
it is also a sad <br>truth that humans sometimes err in <br>mistreatment. I cannot give you a clear way for <br>you to solve this. I will simply pray for <br>her. But I do know that Michael watches over her.<br><br>Are there any last questions?<br><br>Very well, I ask you once more, as a personal <br>favor, that you find that change that is within <br>yourself, that potential to grow, and that you <br>feed it, you help it grow so that you may elevate <br>yourself to that new level of consciousness. And <br>with that I leave you. Goodnight.<br><br>All: Goodnight JarEl and thank you.</td></tr></table>
