Prayer

Larry: Dear Father thank you for this gathering of your sons and 
daughters.  We love you so very much and are so very grateful that you 
indwell each of us and for seeing your light in each one of our brothers 
and sisters.  Welcome Father, Michael and Nebadonia into our presence 
tonight.  Let the Spirit of Truth speak to us in the truth that is spoken 
here tonight.  Open our eyes, ears, hearts and our minds to the truth, from 
which ever source it may come.  We would be a light to the world.  A light 
that will bring about Your glory when all of your sons and daughters are 
worshiping you and striving to do Your will, when the time of Light and 
Life comes to our world and peace breaks out all over the world.  In that 
day we are here to help each other.  We would be of service to You Father 
and our brothers and sisters.  Just show us the way, direct us and lead us, 
we shall follow.  Amen.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher JarEl.  It is good 
to be here among you once again.  I look forward always in sharing this 
moment with you.  I look forward in sharing thoughts, lessons and hopes 
with you the children of Urantia.  I know that your time here on Urantia is 
relatively short compared to your eternal life.  I know that soon you shall 
become universe citizens who shall go forth representing your once native 
planet.  You are in a very important time, a time which will bring much 
change in your world.  You look forward to a time when peace will break out 
as Larry said, but peace will not break out but grow within each and 
everyone who is tired of war, who is tired of hatred and anger.  Peace will 
grow within the hearts and minds of those Urantians who will have 
progressive points of view who will unite together to bring change upon 
your planet and bring peace to everyone.

This time that you live in is so important because the powers of old 
struggle to hold a firm grip on the past.  But the children of Urantia 
shall change in their minds and their way of thinking and they shall grow 
more progressive and more spiritual.  They shall see the truth behind every 
word and not believe the lies which the past tells them.  They shall be 
able to see the past with clear eyes and clearer ways of thinking.  They 
shall discern the truth, for the truth is easy to see for those who are 
willing to see.  The truth is not complicated in any respect.  It is there 
and plain as the light of day.  It is there for everyone to see and it must 
not be covered or hidden from anyone.

The request that Michael gave you a couple of weeks ago is very pertinent 
to this.  He asked you to share this light, this truth with everyone.  You 
have all done well in studying the Urantia Papers and discussing it with 
each other.  But how long will you have this knowledge and not share with 
your brothers and sisters?  Is it because you are afraid of the reaction 
that people will have toward you?  Yes, there is always the possibility of 
receiving a bad reaction from people not understanding your message.  You 
will always run into this as long as there are other organized religions 
who tell their people that anything outside of their own is a false 
religion.  You know more than anyone that truth no matter what name, color 
or scent remains as truth.  No matter if it belongs to one or various 
religions, truth is truth no matter and you see it as that.  Why is this so 
difficult to think that others may hold the same point of view as you 
do?  It does not matter if they already belong to a certain religion, if 
they are truth seekers they shall be open to whatever truth you present to 
them.

We do not demand anything of you.  We understand and acknowledge your free 
will and your free choice.  We are respectful of your individual lives.  We 
are also very aware that much work was put into the writing of this 
marvelous book.  The small price that you pay to purchase this book does 
not in anyway compare to the enormous available information that exists 
within its pages.  To allow yourself not to reveal this marvelous 
Revelation signifies that you have become complacent of the fact that this 
was freely given to you.  This truth that you so preciously hold within 
your hearts must be shared with everyone.  For it was freely given to you 
so you must now freely give it to everyone and that is the original 
intention behind the creation of such Revelation.  It was not written so 
that only a handful of enlightened people could marvel at the truth that 
this book holds.  At first only a few, yes, who know about this, but the 
intention is far greater and far reaching than whatever you can imagine.

This is the Fifth Epochal Revelation.  To not know the magnitude of such an 
event signifies that you have not read the book at all.  The Fifth Epochal 
Revelation, a number so small that it can be counted on one hand.  The 
First: The Dalamation teachings; the second: The Edenic teachings; the 
third: Melchizedek of Salem; the forth: Jesus of Nazareth; and the fifth: 
The Urantia Papers.  There have been only five in the history of your 
planet; only five!  This last one has not even been around a hundred 
years.  The significance of this Revelation is so great and so powerful 
that it needs to be shouted from every mountain top and from every street 
corner.

Lucille:  JarEl, I was brought up, many years ago, that you didn't discuss 
religion or politics.  That was so engrained in me that it is hard to bring 
the subject up to anybody.  I don't find my friends even asking question 
about religions.  I know I have to change but I need help.

JarEl:  TR, George.  It not your fault Lucille, you are a product of the 
conditioning you suffer from.  A conditioning handed down so that men would 
not think.  So that men can be complacent and accept his or her reality.

In order for you to even begin to read The Urantia Book you must be able to 
think.  You must be able to think critically which is not existent in many 
religions.  Many authoritative religions do not even require you to 
think.  You go in, you sit down, you listen to the sermon, then you go home 
and you only have to do this once a week.  It has been made into a duty 
rather than a privilege to think about God.

Those who find The Urantia Book, or rather when The Urantia Book finds 
them, it is because they have achieved a level of spirituality that not 
only allows them to think for themselves but also gives them an environment 
where they are open to any possibility, any reality.  You will find 
yourself running into many who are close-minded and do not give themselves 
the possibility to even begin to question their own reality.

Then you have your leaders who, by their very nature, have become leaders 
because society does not want to deal with that aspect of civic duty.  They 
would rather rely on someone to lead them wherever he or she wishes to lead 
them.  Giving up your very rights to think (and man has constantly done 
this) man has given up his right to think because it was too burdensome for 
him.  It is those who take up the challenge and actually look forward to 
this intelligible ascent who are more open to new truth and, yes, to The 
Urantia Book.

How do you reach these open and willing minds?  For starters do not hide 
your Urantia Book from the public eye.  Do not just read the book and then 
put it away when you are done with it.  There are many ways in sharing this 
truth.  We have total trust that everyone of you shall find your own way of 
sharing it.  Remember that much work was put into this Revelation.  We are 
very grateful to those who do put in the effort to share this book.  We 
know that more of you will begin doing this as well.  Are there any questions?

Lucille:  A week from Wednesday I will have about twenty women here and I 
will have The Urantia Book right out on the coffee table.

JarEl:  TR, George.  This is excellent Lucille.

Lucille:  I'm curious to see if any of them will pick it up.

JarEl:  TR, George.  I assure you that their Thought Adjusters will be hard 
at work.

Lucille:  OK.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Remember always that each Urantian has his own Thought 
Adjuster and you can always make that connection with them.  Just trust in 
God and have faith that you can make any connection with any person on this 
earth.  With that, I leave you, good night.

All:  Good night JarEl.
