Prayer:

Larry:  Dear Father, thank you for this gathering, we are so very grateful 
to be here together with our brothers and sisters.  We love you Father, 
please open our minds and our hearts to the truth.  We pray for our loved 
ones and we pray for world peace.  We know that all things work towards 
your glory Father and we know that your will shall prevail.  We pray for 
the time of Light and Life when all men are doing your will Father, we pray 
in Michael’s name, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is good 
to see all of you once again.  Welcome to those who have not been here for 
awhile.  Tonight I would like to discuss with you certain aspects in your 
belief system which allow you to commune with God.  I would like to 
reinforce this belief system, so that you become more aware of what you are 
doing right.  First thing we will look at is your belief in the idea that 
we are all brothers and sisters.  This idea encompasses many aspects of 
social interrelations and it implies pretty much that we are all equal; 
that we are all on a level playing field.  What this idea reinforces is 
that you must treat one another as you would like them to treat you and 
visa-versa.  The benefits from this are tremendous and everlasting.  When 
you begin to treat others as your brothers and sisters, they become 
inspired and do likewise to others and so-forth and so-on until at some 
point mostly everyone on this earth will be living in harmony with each 
other; free of segregation, free of bigotry and sexism.  Now all this comes 
back to the one simple idea, that you are all brothers and sisters.

For the second idea, we will analyze your belief in the evolution of man 
and your own personal evolution as well.  The fact that you are capable to 
grasp this idea of evolution and, at the same time, believe in God gives 
you a certain advantage.  For you are able to grasp that at some point in 
the future you will be knowledgeable enough to make some sort of 
judgment.  For now you realize that you are still very young in the grand 
scheme of things.  Therefore, your point of view is very limited.  Whatever 
ideas or beliefs you have, you dare not crystallize, for you know that 
things change and ideas grow and change.  Something you believed ten years 
ago, you know not to be true now.  For your ideas and beliefs have grown 
and your knowledge encompasses much more than it did before.  Therefore, 
you are able to assess more, but you do come to the realization that your 
assessing capabilities are somewhat limited because you are limited at this 
point of your life.  Although the tools at your disposal are well used, you 
know full well that there are more tools which are on the way.  These will 
enable you to understand at greater depth, which brings us back to the 
simple idea that we, as humans, are evolving.  This rules out the idea that 
at some point in the past your forefathers lived in paradise, lived in 
harmony and were more intelligent, for that was not true as you have come 
to understand.

The third concept, or belief system, that encompasses your minds is the 
idea that you are not alone in this universe and that there are other 
species throughout the universe and super-universe.  They are your brothers 
and sisters, you all part of the same family.  This, for many on this 
planet, is hard to believe.  For many feel that your planet is alone.  They 
believe that this is the only planet that is inhabited by creatures such as 
yourself.  You, on the other hand, believe there are many inhabited planets 
in the universe and you do not fear them.  Even though there is intelligent 
life out there, you are not to fear them.  You are not to be afraid of the 
unknown that is out there.  You know in your own heart (if and when you 
meet them), it will be under completely peaceful circumstances and they 
will treat you as brothers.  The question is are others willing to accept 
them as brothers and sisters?  I shall go back to the first concept.  It is 
crucial in both the first and the third concept that you are willing to 
accept everyone on this planet as your brothers and sisters.  This allows 
your idea of brotherhood to encompasses the entire universe.  The fact that 
you are able to accept the first concept enables you to accept the 
third.  That is why I say that many on this planet will be unable to accept 
new species as brothers and sisters by the mere fact that they have not 
accepted each other, even people from their own community.

The forth concept that is in your belief system, one of the most important 
ones, is the idea of forgiveness; everlasting mercy.  For, if you forgive, 
you are doing God’s Will and you are being God-like.  Forgiveness leads you 
to a road of happiness.  It allows you to let go of harmful things which 
have happened to you in your life.  This is a concept that lies deeply 
within God, for he is forever forgiving and forever merciful.  His mercy is 
bountiful and most accommodating and so shall your mercy be such as 
his.  Many of you understand this concept.  It would be wise to begin to 
realize it and make it your own and begin living it.  For it shall bring 
you happiness, it shall relieve you of much of the pain that you now 
feel.  Many on this world go their whole life in bitterness and do not 
forgive.  It is not until they get to the Morontia Realm that they realize 
that forgiveness is the key to their happiness.  If only they had forgiven 
while they were here on earth, it would not have left such pain and 
bitterness behind.  We all leave something behind; an emotion, a trait, or 
a dysfunction.   If you were to leave forgiveness behind that would make 
all the difference in the world.  For those that are left have learned 
something vital from you and that is how to forgive others.  Most 
importantly they learn how to forgive themselves.  Those who have learned 
this lesson go on to live productive and happy lives.  They are not 
burdened holding something in and being bitter and angry and sad.  They 
learn early on to let go of all of these, they learn to live 
life.  Forgiveness may be very difficult for you, even though you believe 
in it.  You do understand it and yet it is hard to realize it in your 
hearts.  For at times you feel that it is hard to forgive someone after the 
harm they have created in your life and in the lives of the ones you 
love.  If you were to look inside yourself to find a part of God that 
exists there, you will find the mercy available for such forgiveness.  You 
understand that God forgives everyone and he loves all of you.

Finally the fifth concept that you believe in, is your belief in 
everlasting life.  Although many on this earth share the same concept, you 
have a more concise and organized concept of what your everlasting life 
will be like.  By your belief in everlasting life, you know that one day 
you will be with God; that you are climbing the spiritual ladder to the 
place where God is.  It also allows you to understand the very notion I am 
speaking to you about.  I once was mortal but now I am your spiritual 
brother.  You are able to understand this concept.  In your stored 
knowledge you can clearly see that I am on a journey in my spiritual 
career.  Although at this moment, you do not know for sure, you have faith 
and trust that what I tell you is true.  You have faith and trust that you 
too will climb this spiritual ladder inward towards paradise.

All of these five concepts that I have just related to you makes you unique 
and knowledgeable.  It sets you in the forefront of spirituality.  It does 
not create an exclusive club of religion.  Your belief system encompasses 
all of those on this planet.  It also encompasses all of those in the 
entire super-universe.  You are vague as to what the super-universe is like 
and what creatures you are destined to meet.  Nevertheless you trust, when 
the day comes, you will have been prepared enough to meet such a challenge 
and to except those you see coming as your brothers and sisters.  You will 
not be afraid.  Above all you will be willing to accept new ideas, you will 
be willing to change your belief system.  To know that your will has a 
soul.  I have depicted the best of your belief system as of this time so 
that you may nurture it and allow it to grow.  Later on you will learn new 
and better methods.  For now know that most of you are on a correct path 
and you are leading this world into the next age.  Continue your good work, 
continue to be positive and continue to be light.  Are there any questions?

Stella:  Will this coming war impede this coming age of Light and Life?

JarEl:  TR, George.  All wars have negative repercussions indeed, but they 
do not stop those of you who are involved spiritually.  War will never 
impede you from growing spiritually.  Yes, it will bring destruction and 
chaos to the world, but it cannot set you back in all you have learned thus 
far.  In fact, you will learn more by going through such experiences and 
you will come out stronger and more powerful and perhaps more ready to 
usher in this new age of Light and Life.  When darkness falls onto this 
earth, remain true to your light, remain true to your stewardship, do not 
falter.  Do not let the darkness overtake you.  You must be stronger than 
ever and brighter than ever so others may see your light and want only 
that, not the darkness.  So in the grand scheme of things, Stella, war does 
not set back the plans of God.  Do not worry sister.

Stella:  I do not worry for myself, I just worry for the others who will 
suffer.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Are there anymore questions?

Stella:  I have another.  I notice that most people are very suspicious of 
others who do not resemble themselves whether they are disabled or 
disfigured

so when they get to the over side
.I imagine that people are 
different.
.are they so different from us that it will be a shock to 
us?  Are they different in their morontia form their physical form?

JarEl:  TR, George.  The differences are only in the mind.  There are 
physical differences at first.  In order not to shock you as much, your 
body and your environment are similar to the earth on the first Morontia 
World.  So if you were to see other creatures from other planets and other 
universes on their first Morontia World, you would be quiet shocked because 
they would be similar to their planets.  Once you have reached a certain 
stage in your evolutional and spiritual growth you will start looking 
similar, you will notice less difference.  Your first experiences in 
meeting other creatures from other universes will make you want to embrace 
even those of your own world who were not of your own race.  You will look 
at the different races from your own world and you will have a nostalgic 
feeling towards that person because that person comes from your own 
planet.  Later on you will begin to accept other beings from other 
planets.  When you reach the grand-universe you will have a nostalgic 
feeling for those that come from your own local universe even though they 
don’t come from your own personal planet.  The shock is not as bad as you 
might think.  I have a feeling that you will be more accepting than others.

Donna Jean:  JarEl, in the Star War movies the scene in the bar, would that 
be how it would be like?

JarEl:   TR, George.  Obviously, a lot of the creatures created were from 
the imagination of the artists who worked on the movie.  Yes, it is 
analogous to the different types of species that you will encounter.  For 
each planet in the universe is derived from a certain evolutionary 
species.  It is hard to describe to you, for what you are going to see will 
astonish you.  It also will trigger a deep-rooted idea in your mind.  It 
will be like you always knew.  Are there any more questions?

Stella:  Nel passed over last month, graduated, have you had any contact 
with her?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Fortunately I have, although I was not planning to say 
much, but yes I have spoken to her.  She is doing well and she is 
learning.  I think at this moment she is on her way to the second Morontia 
World.   She has had some wonderful moments of reunion with her family, 
especially her mother.  She does send her love and she is aware that Ernie 
is here.

Donna:  JarEl, that brings up a question when you were talking, for 
example, Nel had a nice reunion with her mother.  What if when we are on 
Mansion World Number One, some of our relatives might have gone to Mansion 
World two, three, four or whatever, so if some of our relatives are on 
other Mansion Worlds, can they come back to Mansion World One to greet us?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Yes they do come back.  Once you have gone through 
that world you can always go back for visits.  Especially when a family 
member has just arrived, it is something that you will look forward 
to.  All of your family members and friends will greet you on your 
graduation to the Morontia Realm.  For they know that your life has truly 
begun.  I in no way demean your life here on earth, for it is very 
important, but there are certain things you will realize after the 
resurrection.  When you arrive you will feel better.  You will not be in 
pain or suffering as you were on this planet.  For the first time you will 
have the potential of being truly, truly happy; of knowing happiness in 
it’s fullest, of knowing love, of knowing God.  That potential is realized 
at that moment when you arrive.  Yes, you know about this potential but now 
it is purely intellectual.  When you arrive on the Morontia World you know 
full well the potential, you realize it, you feel it, that is when you 
begin to live and grow.

Donna:  Thank you JarEl.

JarEl:  TR, George.  You are welcome.  Are there any other questions?  Well 
then, I bid you all good night, until next time.

All:  Thank you JarEl, good night.
