Prayer:

Donna: Dear Heavenly Father thank you for this chance to meet together this 
evening and to fellowship with each other; to share our views about many 
events and to reflect on the experience that Larry and I had at the 
Parliament of World Religion’s Conference.  Please help our minds and 
hearts to be open to what you have to teach us and what we can learn 
tonight.  Thank you Father for all things, in Michael’s name, amen.

JarEl: TR, George.  Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl.  It is good 
to be back and to welcome all of you back to this fellowship.  I would like 
to pick up on a theme that you touched upon Donna and that is how most of 
you, and in fact the whole world, have more things in common than things 
that separate you.  This commonality is what allows the world to function 
and to survive, otherwise you would have destroyed yourselves long 
ago.  There are those of you who are very progressive and persistent and 
continue to improve this world.  Recently you have had first hand 
experience on this commonality.  It is not hard to see how easily we can 
get along with one another.  In fact most of you live similar lives.  You 
all have jobs to do, you have families and you must bring food to the table 
every night.  There is not that much difference in the way people live 
their lives.

You may pray a little differently, but that does not devalue the 
prayer.  In each person’s heart the intention is what counts.  If you would 
look into each person’s heart, regardless of their religion, ideology, race 
or gender, then you would realize that their intentions are pure and good, 
in the same way that you would judge your own intentions.  This common 
ground is where you should begin to build your alliances with one another, 
your alliances of peace.  This world will slowly be brought into Light and 
Life with the alliances that are made with one another through dialog and 
cooperation.  It is very important that you expand your knowledge of the 
world’s races and religions.

The inventions that you have which enable you to communicate with one 
another, regardless of where you live, is the means by which the world will 
be more united.  It is very common to hear your leaders citing fear into 
the community by saying that “they hate you”, this is contrary to your 
beliefs and to your knowledge.  When you realize that the world, in its 
entirety, is one, and that it is connected to the Most Highs, then you will 
begin realize that this concept of “they hate you” does not correlate with 
your belief in this oneness.  How can you hate yourself?  That is what it 
comes down to.  By your hating others or them hating you, there is the idea 
that you are hating yourself.  For the whole world is one, the universe is 
one.

When you arrive on the Mansion Worlds you will begin to see the oneness 
that exists throughout the universe.  You will begin to feel in its 
entirety the interconnection that exists through every living 
creature.  Here on your planet you feel more isolated and separate.  That 
is because you have lost your connection with the One.  When you begin to 
meditate and open yourself up to your full potential you begin to bring in 
this connection that allows you to feel the world connection.  Many have 
not made this connection available to themselves, therefore they are in 
isolation and they rely mainly on what their status is from their news 
media.  Ask yourself this question: do you need someone, like a corporation 
or a news channel to tell you how you feel, or how you love or how you 
hate?  You need but yourself and your connection with God and in turn that 
connection enables you to connect with others.  There should be no room for 
hate in your heart.  For hate only separates you from others and from 
yourself.

Yes, you have more in common, you are all children of God and you are all 
destined to the greatness of God.  I, as your brother, am overjoyed to have 
this connection with you.  For I have the privilege to share this 
experience with you.  I will never regret this experience, for it has truly 
meant so much to me.  Allow yourself to open up and connect with those 
surrounding you.  Allow yourself to become one with the great universe and 
allow love to flow through you so it may heal those around you and so it 
may heal you as well.

Henry Z.:  JarEl, I want you to talk a little bit about the relationship 
between the moral responsibilities of the individual as it relates to the 
moral responsibility of the group?

JarEl: TR, George.  You always have moral responsibility whether you are a 
part of a group or not.  Your moral responsibility does not get surrendered 
the moment you join any group, it continues to exist.  As far as the group 
is concerned, you cannot force the group to act in a certain way.  You can 
certainly influence the group.  You can certainly give your 
opinion.  Perhaps by the value of your opinion and the value of your 
person, they might respect your opinion and go your way.  There is no such 
thing as group morality.

HenryZ:  Excuse me. There is no such thing as group morality?  What does 
that mean?

JarEl: TR, George.  You cannot group any individuals together and judge 
them by their morality as a whole.  You have to separate each and every one 
of them and evaluate them as individuals.  Just like the twelve apostles, 
they all joined Jesus and they all followed Jesus, and they acted as a 
group but they were all individuals with distinct personalities and even 
one betrayed Jesus.  It was a small group but regardless they were a group, 
yet they were not judged as a whole.  Individuals always have choices in 
their lives, Henry and they chose to join or not to join a group.  Being 
part of a group does not give you any particular identity.  You may feel 
that you have a group identity but ultimately you will act alone and find 
God as an individual and group morality with be thrown out the window and 
no longer will it exist when you finally face the true face of 
God.  Ultimately you will have to be responsible for your own 
actions.  Does that answer your question?

HenryZ:  My question is when does the individual have a responsibility, or 
does he, to pressure the larger group?  I am not really sure what I am 
asking but I know that there is a relationship between spiritual growth, 
spiritual consciousness and moral responsibility in terms of how we grow in 
our understanding of our personal relationship with God and how that is 
socialized in the brotherhood of man?  I know that on the ultimate level we 
are all working for peace because the fragments of God, in everyone on the 
planet, have that agenda at hand.  They have to, because that is the nature 
of God to want to bring everything into his consciousness and into his 
being and likeness.

JarEl: TR, George.  You have already answered your question Henry.  There 
is a direct relationship between spiritual enlightenment and social 
responsibility.  The more enlightened you become the more socially 
responsible you become.  Those who continually drown in relative darkness 
will soon find out how much they have to work to become enlightened and to 
reach the True Source and Center.  If your question is whether or not they 
are responsible for what they did as part of the group, yes Henry, they are 
responsible because it will show up in their lack of spiritual growth, 
there the true work lies.

HenryZ:  So what I understand you are saying, “we are responsible for our 
own actions, we are responsible for our own growth”.  Should we really care 
about the group or whatever they think or whatever they do?  I mean 
ultimately should we?  I don’t necessarily feel drawn toward addressing 
group issues as I feel more drawn to addressing personal issues or the 
issues of the individuals, myself.  So I am kind of getting a sense of what 
you are saying.  There is another saying, “man the individual is smart, man 
as a group is stupid,” meaning that the group mentality, because when you 
get a group of people together, it changes the dynamic of the group, it is 
uncontrollable unless someone with a dynamic personality can and is able to 
step up and take control of it.

JarEl: TR, George.  Exactly Henry, you bring to light a very poignant and 
common description.  If you put two smart individuals together, you can 
create wonders.   If you put a whole group of realized individuals 
together, they can create a nation.  It depends on who you put into a 
group.  If you continue to work on yourself as an individual and grow 
spiritually you are caring about the group as a whole because you care 
enough to work on yourself.  You care enough to better yourself so you may 
in turn help others.  If you put realized individuals who have grown 
spiritually and overcome the obstacles of life, you will see wonders 
happen, it depends on who is in the group and that will always be the 
case.  Again, I say there is no group morality for it is all individual.

HenryZ:  Very good JarEl, thank you.

JarEl: TR, George.  Are there any other questions? 





.Very well my 
friends, as I have said before find your common ground, find what unites 
you all and you will be well on your road to peace, good night.

All:  Good night JarEl.
