Prayer
Lucille: Dear Father we thank you for this group.  We look forward to 
hearing from the Teacher JarEl, who has been so inspiring to our group for 
quite a few years.  Each time we learn something new and different.  The 
important thing is that we live the life we believe.  It is often hard to 
get rid of our old habits, but may we truly love one another and be of 
service.  This we ask in our love, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your Teacher, JarEl.  It is good 
to see all of you once again.  I am happy to be in your presence again and 
to unite with you so we may share a common desire and common goal; to 
achieve oneness with God.  I am your Teacher.  I am here to help you in 
ways that transcend all other instructional institutions here on 
earth.  The knowledge that you receive from the Teachers of the Teaching 
Mission is advanced knowledge to be dispersed among progressive minds like 
yourself;  those who are willing to contemplate these new concepts and 
ideas and are willing to make changes on this earth (which requires so much 
change and so much love).  There are people out there who would like to 
stop progressive thinkers.  They would like to undermine your minds so that 
you have little effect on others.  They cannot harm you, they cannot stop 
you and they cannot deter you from your destiny.  You are protected by 
God.  You are given strength by Michael.  Since the Spirit of Truth 
indwells you, when you speak others listen and understand that what you say 
is true.  So those who try to undermine you are viewed only as false 
teachers.  Your words, the message that you give to these people, it is 
buried deep within their hearts and their mind begins to change and begins 
to accept this new and better concept of life, a new progressive 
life.  That is the key for advancement to Light and Life, a progressive way 
of thinking.

At this moment, if you will, there are lots of hungry souls out there who 
search for some light, for some living water, for some truth.  Inside of 
you is this truth.  In your very being you have the understanding of this 
new and powerful truth.  Dispense all that you want to these hungry souls 
who need it.  Become the light givers, the messengers, the brothers and 
sisters that you are.  In such a way you help bring this world into Light 
and Life.

Two weeks ago, I talked about the search for God and finding God within 
yourselves.  The search for God wasn't hard at all.  This week I would like 
to express upon the fact of finding God within you.  What do you do 
afterwards?  Do you keep it to yourselves?   Do you keep this knowledge of 
finding God to yourself; like a prize, like a treasure that you found in 
the sand, something for you and nobody else?  Is it this way?  Or is God 
like a lamp, like a candle, like a bright light or like a piece of wood 
ablaze with fire and you're the only one that carries this fire while all 
others are cold and shivering in the dark.  Do you keep this fire to 
yourself so that only you can be warm?  Even if you try to keep it to 
yourself, the light from the fire will be seen by others and will attract 
others to you, and they will come knocking.  They will gather around you, 
wanting to be near you so that they may share the fire, this warmth that 
you have acquired.  At this point do you deny them the right to be next to 
you?  Or do you say welcome, come sit next to me so that you may share with 
me this wonderful and brilliant fire.  This is the way that God would have 
you proceed.  As something that, if you find it, must be shared with others 
so that they may enjoy the Lord and a righteous God.  You rightly do so by 
organizing your various projects, publishing your various books, sharing 
this among others, among your fellow men and sisters.

Remember that God is for everyone.  God is for all of your brothers and 
sisters, all the children in the world, all the women and all the men.  God 
is not exclusive to one nation or one people.  This you must understand, to 
get beyond your differences that exist on your world, that you are all 
brothers and sisters.  You all deserve to share in one destiny and you all 
deserve to share in the right for life.  At this moment on your world there 
are great discrepancies between the rich and the poor.  However, at this 
point more people are aware that things can be much better than they 
are.  These voices are slowly but surely coming to the surface to speak out 
and demand change.  God gave you voices as well, unite your voices with 
this progressive movement as well and you will see the great tidal wave of 
change that you shall produce.

Are there any comments or questions?

Jerry:  JarEl I have a question, it relates to the Buddhist Religion.  When 
I think about the ways of uniting the people of the world and the major 
religions, the one that seems to lack a concept of God or a Universal 
Father or anything about a Supreme Being, is the Buddhist Religion.  Do you 
have any thoughts or suggestions or recommendations on how one would best 
approach a person from that belief system?

JarEl: TR, George.  Certainly Jerry, it is not so important that you think 
alike, but rather that you promote their highest ideals and their highest 
concepts.  The Buddhist Religion has very good ethical and moral ideals 
that you must promote and you must nurture as well.   Let them decide.  For 
you, try to unite with them spiritually.  This concept of God will not go 
well with them, for they have a long tradition in believing 
otherwise.  However, within their traditions they have developed extremely 
ethical and moral ideals.  These are the basis and structure of their 
religion, which holds everything they believe in together and keeps them 
moral and ethical citizens.  Simply support them and try to understand 
them.  The bridge that you build with them will be built within their 
hearts not within their minds.  Does this answer your question?

Jerry:  Yes, a part of what you said resonates with me and what I 
think.  This is something that I have given quite a bit of thought to as a 
project:  to identifying the beliefs, principals, ethics and moral codes of 
the mayor religions of the world, in order to identify how they have so 
much in common and focus on their commonality.  When that is understood 
then ultimately it will likely lead to a common perception of God.

JarEl: TR, George.  Just keep in mind all this will come to be in the 
progressive, yet slow process.  Eventually the people from the Buddhist 
Religion will accept the Fatherhood of God concept and integrate it into 
their own religion.  However, this radical change will be made by Buddhists 
who are progressive thinkers, not by outsiders.

Jerry:  I can certainly see that.

Larry:  JarEl, I have a question from  Debralee who emailed me: "There is a 
debate going on at UBRON about the book, Jesus A New Revelation, this is a 
book containing only part IV of the UP. I wonder if I could have you ask a 
question for me at your next TeaM meeting? (just for my personal 
satisfaction) Many seem to think that publishing part IV is a terrible 
mistake, I wonder if this could be true?"

JarEl: TR, George.  There are certainly very different opinions on this and 
everyone has a right to their own opinion.  Maybe many within her circle 
think that just publishing Part IV is a bad idea.  However, there are 
hundreds and thousands who would differ, for they have discovered The 
Urantia Book by reading Part IV only, which is the Jesus Papers.  That in 
itself is a great service to humanity.  So in my personal opinion, I think 
everything which is done with good intent is worthwhile and correct.  I 
hope this answers her question.

Larry:  Thank you.

Lucille:  JarEl you spoke about the great difference between the very 
wealthy and the extremely poor people on the planet.  I know there are many 
groups that we can contribute to, but that is a small drop in the 
bucket.  What are some of the ways as an individual we can help the very poor?

JarEl: TR, George.  You are correct Lucille when you say that a lot of 
causes that you may support will probably produce little benefit.  What 
must be done, what must change is the thought patterns within the rich and 
the elite.  The thought patterns of consuming, of looting, of hoarding, 
greed, self-preservation.  This thought pattern has been consistent for 
many, many years.  A thought pattern which unfortunately has left many 
people in misery.  What you must do is try to reach these people whose 
minds are so thwarted and warped with greed.  Try to reach their hearts, 
try to change their souls for the better.  Everyone has a soul and everyone 
is a part of God.  There are just some who have separated themselves so far 
that it may seem impossible to reach, but you can reach these people 
because they are human and they cry and they laugh just like you.  So try 
to make them understand that others in this world deserve a happy life as 
well, a life of abundance, not just them.  As far as your question Lucille, 
what you can do to help?  Just pray, pray that these people change in their 
hearts, in their minds and when you run across one of these people show 
that you can love them unconditionally.  This might throw them back a 
little and make them think.  That is all that is necessary, a seed in their 
mind to flourish and once this seed has been planted, it will grow and grow 
until the change becomes inevitable and this person has realized all the 
wrong that he has caused in this world and will rectify every wrong 
decision that he has ever made.  Pray and love your fellow men and women.

Lucille:  Thank you.  I have been trying to use that universal energy that 
you told us about.  I don't know if one person has the effect as a group 
has, but I have certainly been trying to use it in a situation that is very 
close to me and it seems to be working.  I have been sending energy of love 
and healing to people and I thank you.

JarEl: TR, George.  Thank you Lucille for learning your lesson well.  Now 
there is someone who would like to speak a couple of words to you.

Michael: TR, George.  Good evening my children.  It is I, your 
Father/brother Michael.  I come to you in peace.  I come to bathe you with 
my light and bring you close in my arms and to love you.  I would like to 
take you, so that you may see the wonders of the Universe that await 
you.  I would like to show you the beauty of this Universe that I have 
built.  For you my loved ones, for you my children, this is all for 
you.  This world that you stand on this moment is for you.  This is my gift 
as a father.  It is my birthday present to you.  Enjoy every aspect of this 
beautiful planet that I have given you.  Learn to appreciate while you are 
still on it and then when you reach the Morontia Realm everything will 
change and life will become sharper, more beautiful, more colors, more 
sensations, more feelings.  That will also be my gift to you.  The schools 
of the Morontia is a destination where I shall send my children to learn, 
to get the best education anywhere in the Universe.  I will be there to 
guide you and to help you with your home work.  From there you will 
graduate and you will leave.  I shall be present on that glorious day.  You 
are so precious to me my dear ones, my loved ones.  You mean so much and 
you love so much.  You have so much great potential in your hearts and in 
your lives.  I know how you feel.  I know this great desire in your hearts, 
ready to burst, ready to go out into the world and create change.  I know, 
because I felt that myself.  I want you to take my hand and walk with me 
for awhile, until you are strong.  This whole time for now, until you 
decide to let go, I will be with you, by your side.  I am ready to take on 
any challenge with you.  Don't be afraid to confront the world and it's 
problems, because I will be there with you.  I leave you with my love and 
with all of my energy.  Have a safe and pleasant night my loved ones.

JarEl: TR, George.  This is JarEl, again.  I too want to wish you good 
night, until next time.
