Prayer:

Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you so much for this beautiful evening 
and the chance to be together with our spiritual brothers and 
sisters.  Thank you that we have a new person here tonight who is willing 
to listen to what the teachers have to say and who wants to know more 
truth.  Dear Father please help all of us to have our eyes and ears open to 
your truth, goodness, beauty and your love so that we can manifest more of 
what your will is, for us and through us in the world.  Thank you Father, 
in Michael's name, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.  Good evening, I would like to welcome all of you back 
into this group.  It has been awhile since we gathered.  Welcome to those 
who are here for the first time.

I would like to comment on how those who are involved in their spiritual 
growth, can be involved so long that they can forget that the only way that 
growth comes about  is to be bombarded by problems, situations and 
challenges that will most likely cause much stress in your life.  Of course 
it becomes easier for those who have reached a higher level to deal with 
such problems, nevertheless these problems still exist and they must be 
dealt with.  The challenges that you have are there for a reason.  Ignoring 
these problems only leads to greater problems in your life; ignoring them 
will only guarantee that the problem will arise once again later in your 
life.  You need to deal with them as they arise.

There are many ways to deal with life's vicissitudes.  It is up to you to 
find a creative solution.  Not finding a solution signals a lack of 
creativity in your life.  It most likely signals an attitude of conforming 
and not really taking the proactive approach of changing your life and 
changing its outcome.  The reason that I bring this up is to remind you 
that challenges will constantly come into your life, regardless of where 
you are spiritually.  It does not matter that you have reached a higher 
level.  It only signifies that you need greater challenges.  I know that 
most of you wish that life would become easier, but on the contrary life 
will become harder or more challenging.  The more you find out about 
yourself and the world you will begin to realize that it is full of 
complexities and these complexities are what makes life hard or 
interesting.  Even through all of this chaotic mess there still exists one 
true beacon of hope, the Father within, the light and the source that 
brings the whole universe together; it brings order out of chaos; it brings 
peace out of war.

The True Source and Center is constantly giving you all the resources 
available to bring order into your life.  You only need to access this 
Source so that you may begin to access His Will.  For only when we 
surrender our own will and decide to do the Father's Will, will our lives 
begin to be put into place.  Things start to fall into place.  The chaos 
that once existed in our lives soon dissipates.  A tremendous love and 
harmony will surge in our hearts and affect all of those who surround us.

This is the reality of the True Source and Center.  The reality that you 
know of, which is the material, is but a dream to us.  For our reality is a 
truer sense of reality.  The love that you feel for one another is real, 
the love that you have for God is real and the relationships that you have 
for one another are real.  Once you start realizing what is real and what 
is not real then your mind will expand to accept more truths in your life.

Many of you come here to listen to me and you believe in me even though you 
cannot see me, but at first you question my reality.  The reality exists in 
our hearts and in our minds.  The reality that we see around us is but a 
shadow of the true reality of the kingdom of heaven.  To access this True 
Source and Center is but an easy tack, for all that is required is to 
silence your mind and your heart.  Open yourself to contacting a greater 
being than yourself.  Life exists all around you, life exists through you.

You are all connected with a single thread.  Adjust your vision, adjust 
your heart and adjust your mind so that you may perceive this thread.  Only 
through sincere meditation, prayer and love will you begin to see these 
interconnections that you have.  Allow your vision to grow so that you may 
connect with those who wish to harm you.  Once you connect with them you 
may show them the true meaning of love, friendship and compassion.  It is 
when you believe that you are separated that wars begin, when fear creeps 
into the hearts of men.   When you release the perception from your mind 
and you accept the connection that exists with all of you, that is when you 
will lay down your arms and embrace one another as brothers and sisters.

You have the power within your hearts to know what is real, which is a gift 
from Michael.  The Spirit of Truth which indwells you will let you know 
what is true or not.  The Spirit of Truth will lead you to the fact that 
you are all connected to one another and that you are all children of 
God.  One day we shall all rejoice for the universe shall be in Light and 
Life.  Those who had faith and those who saw it through will have hearts 
over-flowing with joy, for they saw past the lies and separations and were 
able to see into the hearts of men and the needs in their lives.  You have 
all been called forth to be peace makers in this world.  So go out and make 
peace and reveal the truth to everyone that we are all brothers and sisters 
and that God is our Father.

I will now open it up to anyone else who wishes to speak.

Unknown Teacher: TR, Henry Z.  Greetings to you my friends, you have heard 
words of what is real.  What is real can also be true.  The truth of love 
is real.  It is real in that it affects everyone's life in a very strong 
and positive way.  It is acknowledging, reassuring and comforting.  Love 
may be the only truth that you have truly experienced in such a world as we 
live.  Besides being an act of divine supremacy, love's ability to show 
forth respect, goodness and compassion towards our person and our 
situation, service and love is the highest Christian value on our 
planet.  As you go about your lives as you continue to contact and connect 
with the Divine Spirit within, continually show forth love in all of your 
service and attitude.  It is important to hold love as a form of 
consciousness.  The intention to show love to all people usually results in 
loving a few people; the ability to see love as one of the greatest forces 
in the power of our minds.  Thank you, this is all I have to say.

Michael: TR, George.  Greetings, it is I, your Father/brother Michael.  I 
come to you in peace.  I receive you in my arms with love.  I would like to 
expand on something that JarEl had said, that is the idea of seeing the 
greater picture of your lives, not just here on Urantia, but rather your 
whole spiritual career, something that will expand many years, many 
thousands of years.  I want you to see this for it is truly amazing.  Not 
many can imagine the greatness their lives will be.  Many here are just 
focused on the immediate, but you all have the opportunity to imagine 
greater things in your lives.  I today give you this opportunity, to look 
past the point of your death, past the point of all the Morontia careers, 
past the point of fusion, past all of the millions of worlds that you will 
travel  throughout your career and now come to the point of being in the 
presence of the Father on the Isles of Paradise.  Now, look back on your 
life, look back into your life.  Look back and see all the things that you 
have done, all the things that you have gone through.  Look back and see 
all of the challenges, all the effort, all the strength, all the love, all 
the friendship, all the stories and all the triumphs.  Your life is truly 
glorious from that vantage point.  For once you have arrived you will 
become who you are truly destined to become and God sees you like that 
right now.  God sees your entire life and He has an image of who you truly 
are.  He only asks of you to attempt to be that perfect you, because that 
is who He loves, that is who He adores and cares for and He sees you for 
whom you truly are.  Allow yourself to become that and allow yourself to 
dream of greatness, glory and of eternity.  You are truly remarkable 
creatures for you have no one in this world in which you can look up to and 
say, that is truly a representative of God.  Yet you have come to believe 
in me and I believe in you.  I know all of you shall reach the shores of 
Eternity and triumph.  I bless you with my love and bid you good night.

JarEl: TR, George.  This is JarEl, I am open to any questions that you 
might have.

Henry Z.: JarEl, this is to comment on something that you said earlier this 
evening before the other transmissions.  You know how we see you or don't 
see you.  I just have to say one of the things for me that was always real 
was your ability to always bring us into a very aligned space to seeing 
things correctly.  Thank you for that, what is real about you is your 
ability to bring us to see things correctly.  I want to thank you for that.

I have to also comment that you probably have been off your planet for 
quite awhile.  It doesn't get harder and harder, it is just plain hard, 
JarEl.  It is just hard, none of this getting harder, it is just hard all 
the time.

JarEl: TR, George.  Thank you, Henry.

Henry Z.: You're welcome JarEl.

JarEl: TR, George.  I would like to comment on that, Henry.  There is such 
a saying that ignorance is bliss.

Henry Z.:  Are you saying that you are in a very blissful state tonight JarEl?

JarEl: TR, George.  On the contrary Henry I am not ignorant, but those who 
choose to remain ignorance have a perceived notion that their lives are 
easy, but it is only when they awake into the truth and see the reality 
that surrounds them, that they fully realize their being.  You should be 
thankful that your eyes are open Henry, you should be thankful that your 
life is so hard.  For it is through these challenges that you become 
stronger and truly deserve to be called a son of God.

Henry Z.:  Thank you JarEl, that is true.  I am very thankful for life and 
challenges and the growth that I am taking in my own life because I can't 
seem to live life any other way.  You can put off doing things, but you are 
just putting off real living because that is what real living is, doing things.

JarEl:  TR, George.  There is always something to do, isn't there?  Well my 
friends, it was a very interesting evening, thank you all for coming and I 
will see you next time.

All:  Thank you JarEL.
