Prayer

Larry:  Dear Father, thank you for this gathering.  We are so grateful for 
your love.  We pray for peace in the world and the speedy end to this war 
that is going on.  We pray for the coming of Light and Life.  We love you 
very much Father.  We love all of your sons and daughters.  We pray for 
their enlightenment and the coming of Light and Life, amen.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is 
good to see all of you once again.  I must say that I do look forward to 
seeing you and to have conversation with you.  I would like to address 
current events, your social and political climate on Urantia, it has 
reached an apex.  There are many pushing towards one outcome and yet there 
are others pushing towards another.   I would remind you, I have said this 
before, you are connected to the entire human race in such a profound way 
that by its very nature you should not fight among yourselves.  This 
connection that you hold is deep rooted and purely spiritual.  It is the 
essence from where all goodness sprouts.  It is the core of the eternal 
beauty that you aspire to.  This connection holds you all together and 
binds you with love, truth and beauty.  This connection exists and it is 
real as you are real.  Why then do you feel so separated from one 
another?  I will tell you.  Because you have been deceived and led to 
believe that you are separate.  You have been lied to and coerced into 
believing that you have enemies to fear.  You have been tricked into 
believing that some people are evil.  All this has been done so that you 
may feel separate and when you feel separate you tend to be more secluded, 
self-centered and self-preserving.  Then what happens around you does not 
matter, least of all, what happens halfway around the world.   This 
separation is non-existent; this separation is an illusion, created for the 
mere purpose of deceiving you.

You here in this room, of reasonable minds, know full well that God exists 
in each one of you.  With this existence you become connected with one 
another which, therefore, creates a brotherhood that is ever-bonding.  It 
is reasonable to believe that this bonding is eternal and it shall never be 
broken.  Why, therefore, does it become easy for you to believe the 
deceptions, the tricks of the tricksters?   This is why your world is in 
the chaos it is in today, because you have not learned how to live with one 
another in peace and harmony.  You are so easily led to believe that those 
halfway around the world are your enemies; when in fact they are not.  This 
illusion is just that, an illusion; the illusion that you are separated, 
there is no separation.  It is only when you create the separation in your 
mind that you truly become separated.  You have created it and therefore 
you manifest it.  You not only separate yourself from others, you also 
separate yourself from God.

Living harmoniously does not come natural for humans.  It is something that 
you have to work for.  Harmony is something which is coordinated and built 
upon, it is an evolutionary process.  Harmony does not come by the way of 
war; it does come from earnest cooperation with the sincere and the 
ambitious need for peace.  Therefore, to bring harmony to your world, you 
must first put down your weapons, stop your fighting and begin to open a 
dialog which will enable you to coordinate, cooperate and build 
upon.  Nothing is ever resolved from violence, only more violence.  This 
world will not enter Light and Life until the violence ceases, until you 
begin to cooperate with one another, until you begin to open your heart to 
others.  It is that simple and yet you make it complicated when it 
shouldn't be.

Those with sincere hearts will bring change to this earth.  Those with 
honest motives will start building upon the changes and usher this earth to 
the destined age of Light and Life.  I do honestly pray for all of you here 
and for those who are suffering on your earth.  I do wish that your 
problems become resolved in an expedient fashion.  I know more than anyone, 
that in order for that to happen many things must change and it will take 
time.  Perhaps I will be teaching a fifth generation of the Teaching 
Mission here on earth before it happens or it may happen in your life 
time.  I cannot predict anything.  I cannot foretell what will come for the 
earth.

I can only show you a path which you may or may not walk.  It is up to you 
to take the path, it is up to you to make the decisions in your life.  It 
is up to you to bring peace to this war-tattered earth.  We are here as 
guides, as messengers.  We cannot interfere with your affairs, we cannot 
change your course or influence you in anyway.  We are here to teach and to 
be of service.  We are grateful for those who are willing to listen to 
us.  This goes out to the larger community of the Teaching Mission.  We as 
teachers are grateful to all of you who have dedicated your lives and your 
time to bringing our message, our shining light to this earth.  We are 
grateful to all of you who so honestly dedicate your lives to bringing 
forth messages such as this.  You do not know how much we appreciate this, 
this means so much and there is a great reward which awaits you for your 
hard work and dedication.  Continue to show forth the light, continue to 
educate those around you and to inspire them.  Many thanks from all the 
teachers.  Are there any questions tonight?

Stella:  Is there such a thing as divine intervention when crises like 
these appear on earth or is it strictly up to humanity to stop these 
senseless wars?

JarEl:  TR, George.  These concepts which arise from the minds of men must 
be resolved within the realm of men.  There is no intervention when such 
conflicts arise.  If these concepts originated from outside of the realm of 
men, then we would interfere.  But since this has been created by your 
leaders, it is up to you to resolve your problems.  Does this answer your 
question?

Stella:  Yes, but it seems like each side prays to God to help them, yet 
God doesn't listen.  Like you say, it is up to man to solve his own problems.

JarEl:  TR, George.  God does not defeat your enemies.  God does not 
interfere in such matters.  God will answer you if you were to ask for 
peace, if you asked for harmony among your neighbors and your enemies.  If 
you ask God to destroy your enemies, he will not answer, it is foolish to 
ask such things.

Stella:  I would never pray for that, but there are a lot of people who 
want to destroy their enemies.

JarEl:   TR, George.  Truly those who ask for such a thing have no idea 
what God is to them.  When you discover who God is for you, in a personal 
way, you begin to realize that He is the same for everyone.  He does not 
have a favorite.  He does not discriminate and you are all equal in His 
eyes.  So when you ask Him to destroy your enemies, it is like you asking 
Him to destroy His son or His daughter and He loves his sons and 
daughters.  Why would He do such a thing, to please your selfish 
longings?   He understands your point of view and understands your 
immaturity; the attitude that you have.  Therefore, He allows you resolve 
your own problems.  He allows you to suffer through such an ordeal in order 
that you learn from the mistakes that were created.  Remember always you 
are protected by Him.  No matter what happens to you, if you were to die, 
you are still protected.  You still will survive.  Do not concern yourself 
with your mortal life; it is only transient to the eternal beauty.  God 
knows that you will forgive any suffering that you had to withstand here on 
earth when you finally arrive on the Mansion Worlds and experience first 
hand the eternal beauty and the eternal life.  Any pain or suffering you 
experienced here will be like a dim memory.  So if you find yourself asking 
to destroy your enemy, remember the beauties of eternal life and you would 
soon forget about your selfishness.  You shall experience a harmonious 
attitude that is symbiotic with the universe.  Are there any other questions?

Donna Jean:  If I am walking down a street and I see a man beating a child, 
what am I to do?  I could pray that the man stop.  I could try to take the 
child away and protect him.  Am I to let the man also beat me?  What am I 
to do?

JarEl:  TR, George.  I would refer you to The Urantia Book, where Jesus was 
confronted with such a similar situation.  When a woman was being beaten by 
her husband, Jesus intervened on behalf of the person subject to 
attack.  Jesus stepped up behind the irate husband and, tapping him gently 
on the shoulder, said: "My friend, may I speak with you in private for a 
moment?"  Taking the man aside Jesus defused the situation.  In such a way 
you should act.  There are many way to intervene if only to contact the 
authorities for help.  Unfortunately these things happen constantly on this 
earth and many times people overlook such things and allow such things to 
happen, because many people have become complacent to violence.  Violence 
is not something that is accepted and it should be managed with laws and 
social norms.  You, of all people, know what to do in such situations for 
you have a high state of reality and ethics that governs your own life 
which allows you to assess the situation and to determine that what the man 
is doing is not good.  What governs your life, what governs your 
morality?  Since you hold to a higher truth, you know more than anyone, 
what you see as is wrong and should be dealt with accordingly.  There are 
many way that a person can intervene.  It is not necessary to intervene 
physically.  Are there any other questions?

Donna:  JarEl I was just wondering about the Morontia Life on the Morontia 
Worlds?  I was thinking, since we are still semi-material beings on the 
first few Morontia Worlds, there must be things such as semi-material 
houses that we live in; semi-material clothing that we wear?  I was just 
wondering what is the economy of the Morontia Worlds?  When people need 
something, is it traded or bartered or do they get what they need 
automatically?  Could you tell us a little bit about the methods of 
trade?  About the things that we will still need on the Morontia Worlds?  I 
hope that makes sense?

JarEl:  TR, George.  I understand what you are asking.  To be frank with 
you, you will not need anything.  There is no trade or barter on the 
Morontia Worlds.  Everything that you require is given to you.  Everything 
needed is given to you.  Every opportunity you wished you had here on earth 
is given to you.  You will soon begin to realize that this universe is all 
about giving.  You will begin to give as well.  You will soon find out that 
your experience here on earth was unique.  Once you enter the Morontia 
Realms everything will be given to you.  You will have no need or want for 
anything.  You will have abodes that will be set up for you.  You may rest 
and spend time there.

Donna:  Do some of the Morontia Beings create these abodes?  Is that part 
of what they do?

JarEl:  TR, George.  These abodes exists before you arrive.  You are 
allowed to decorate and to change things to your liking.  There is no need 
to build these abodes.  You will soon find out that everything you want is 
given to you.

Donna:  So things that we want are given to us and we can choose ourselves?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Yes Donna you can always choose.

Donna:  Thank you.

JarEl:  TR, George.  You are welcome.

Stella:  This is a silly question, but is there any ice up there?  I mean 
if you are a skater in this life and you want to continue skating is there 
a place you can ice skate?

JarEl:  TR, George.  There are places where the environment can manipulated 
in order to accomplish such an event.  But on a normal world the 
temperature is regulated to a comfortable 72 degrees.  Like I said before 
everything will be provided for you.  Are there anymore 
questions?--------------Until the next time we meet I wish you all a good 
night.

All:  Good night JarEl.  Thank you.
