Teachers:  JarEl

TR: George Benavides

Topics:  In this marvelous communication there is mutual learning.
               Our mutual bond and destiny, a long, long road filled with

               It is encouraging to see a group 
of people on this planet embarking on

               You are more important than you 
think you are, what you do here and now

               Our world is constantly changing, growing and evolving

               The Age of Light and Life is earned


    Questions:  Many of us who are elderly, whose 
years are numbered, wonder if what we
                    have done will be enough or has been enough for this time?

                    What method or methods can 
you recommend that will overcome self-decep-
                     tion, insincerity and inertia?

                     Are there aliens living 
among us and, if so, do they mean us harm?

                     Will the past efforts at 
Venice Beach bring new readers to the Convention in
                      Los Angeles at UCLA next summer?

Prayer: Norman:  Gracious Heavenly Father thank 
you for bringing us all together tonight.  May 
each soul in this room feel your presence as the 
Teachers bring us new thought and new ideas.  We 
pray that you will be with us as we learn the lessons that
you have for us tonight.  Thank you for all your 
goodness towards mankind.  In Christ Michael’s name, Amen.

JarEl:  TR, George.  Good evening.  It is I, your 
Teacher JarEl.  It is good to be back once
more and I would like to welcome those who are here for the first time.

   It is a marvelous thing that we can 
communicate.  It is simply incredible that we 
have this time available to us to impart 
knowledge to one another.  For I learn from you 
just as much as you learn from me.  Even though I 
have thousands of years of experience of just 
living, my knowledge of Urantia mortals remains 
limited to the observations that I have made over these vast years.

  But I am certain that we all share one common 
bond that unites us and that brings us closer to 
one another, and that inner bond that is all 
existent will one day carry us to our 
destinies.  An age that seems like a dream to 
you; so vague and so unfamiliar that it is just a 
hazy promise that would one day be 
accomplished.  However, just as hazy as you see 
this future of yours, your past will become hazy 
as well.  When you travel towards your destiny 
and you become more real, more alive and truer to 
the spirit, you will notice how the roles of your 
life will reverse.  How what you once thought was 
reality has become so basic.  Even now you cannot 
comprehend this concept.  It is difficult for you 
to imagine the reality of yourself and this 
future destiny of yours.  And rightly so, you 
cannot imagine this because you have not yet 
experienced any of it.  You have not yet gone 
through the road, the trials, the sojourn.  And 
it is a long road indeed.  It is a long, long 
journey and it won’t be easy.  It will be filled 
with challenges, opportunities, knowledge and 
experience.  And most of all it will be filled 
with happiness, love and understanding.  And as 
you grow within yourself, as you mature and as 
you go from one life to the other, or one body to 
another, you will truly feel the presence of God 
for He is within you.  He has always been within 
you.  It is simply for you to recognize this 
fact; for you to acknowledge it.  It has been 
revealed to you countless times in many forms and 
many ways and still you do not understand.

  But you do try to understand and you do make 
overtures in becoming closer to God and that is 
very encouraging.  It is encouraging indeed to 
see a group of people on this planet embarking 
upon a journey that will benefit all of 
mankind.  What you do here and now and what you 
do in your lives will greatly affect the rest of 
the world to come.  As I said before, you give 
yourself very little importance and it shouldn’t 
be like that.  You are more important than you 
think you are.  If you were to disappear here and 
now off the face of this earth, everything would 
shift to fill the void you left behind.  Perhaps 
you are not aware of this space that you fill, 
this energy that you’ve created that surrounds 
everything that’s around you.  Perhaps you do not 
know of your immanent presence in this 
world.  But you will know when you are gone.  You 
will know by the wake that you leave behind.  And 
it is sad for many to see this, to realize it 
when it is too late that they did not take 
advantage of that opportunity that they were given to really affect this world.

Your world is constantly changing, it is growing 
and evolving and it is getting out of control as 
well.  Many of you who are students of The 
Urantia Book should remain grounded in your lives 
to help stabilize this new world that is about to 
come.  The Age of Light and Life will not come so 
easily.  It is an Age that must be earned.  It is 
an Age that must be sought after.  It will not 
come to you just because.  There are many things 
that must be done in this world before such an 
Age can be initiated.  It is not simply enough to 
wait and see or to pray for such an 
Age.  However, it is possible for each of you in 
your own lives to create an artificial bubble of 
light that is similar to what is to come.  You 
can create a taste for everyone to know of what 
things could be, or how everything could be.  It 
is in your power to do this and you are the very 
opportunity that this world needs.  It is because 
you have chosen to awaken from a long slumber 
that this world benefits.  It is because you 
chose to question, you chose to be curious, that 
this world grows.  It is because you have chosen 
to be better citizens and love one another as 
brothers and sisters that this world matures.  It 
is your choice for the set you make that creates 
the possibilities for this new Age to come.  And 
for that we are all grateful and we encourage that you continue.

Are there any questions here tonight?

Stella:  Well I have an observation.  There are 
many of us who have some serious diseases and the 
chances are that many of us will be gone within 
the next ten years.  It makes me kind of sad that 
there is still so much to do and we won’t have time to do it.
So, what we are doing, is that enough to help us 
to where we happen to be ­ to lead this world 
into an Age of Light and Life in view of the fact 
that there is so much horror, destruction and 
corruption?  It seems as if we are just beating 
our heads against a stone wall and the chaos 
doesn’t go away, it gets worse.  What do you think JarEl?

JarEl:  TR, George.  I think you put too much 
responsibility upon your shoulders Stella.  The 
work that you do is good and when you are gone 
and you can no longer do this work others will 
take it up for you.  A good idea is never 
lost.  Good work is not forgotten.  Good 
intentions are carried forward.  For every good 
intention there are ten others who are willing to 
carry it forward for you.  Even though the world 
seems to be getting worse, there are still plenty 
of good souls in this world who can think, who 
can feel and who can plan for their future and 
the future of others.  And they can see what must 
be done.  All they need is the energy to do 
it.  Do not fret my friends.  Even if the world 
would become worse off, something good will 
always come out of it.  Good people will rise to 
the occasion and things will change.  All is not 
lost and this world has yet to see its grandeur 
and glory.  But the day will come.

Are there any other questions?

New student:  Is there any method that you can 
recommend that will overcome the self-deception 
and insincerity and to help keep the inertia 
moving toward the first stages of Light and Life?

JarEl:  TR, George.  Are you speaking of yourself 
or of others?  (of myself).  Do you believe that 
you can see yourself?  (sometimes)  It is common 
to have doubts.  Trust in yourself.  Trust in the 
knowledge that is within you.  There is so much 
love that you can give.  There is so much love 
that you can give yourself as well.  There is a 
piece of God inside of you that loves and 
cherishes you.  Likewise, this fragment connects 
you with everyone else and it exists everywhere 
in everyone.  And they are all loved just as 
well.  Try to understand that, try to comprehend 
it.  Try to see that everyone is your brother and 
your sister.  But most importantly, try to see 
that you are loved and cherished and that you 
have so much love inside of you.  And that it 
needs to be shared.  When you discover this you 
will stop deceiving yourself and you will also 
stop doubting who you are, who you truly 
are.  You are a child of God and I am your 
brother, just as everyone in this room is your 
brother or sister.  And we all share a common 
Father that unites all of us.  And He loves 
everyone, He loves me and He loves you.  And that 
is no self-deception my friend.  That is truth.

Are there more questions?

Stella:  Well, I’ll just through this in, I don’t 
know if you are going to answer it.  But, a 
friend of mine is a long time Urantia Book reader 
but she has been listening to and work-
ing on the computer and has heard that there are 
six aliens living on this planet and that one of 
them actually eats people (laughter from all).  I 
have tried to say that I don’t believe it but she 
is very adamant about her beliefs.  So is there 
any way I could approach her and disprove this 
and somehow reach her?  She’s got this idea that 
the aliens are here and that they mean us 
harm.  And I try to tell her “No, if they had 
meant to harm us they would have done so 
already.” (ed. Note, some group discussion ensued.)

Larry:  There have been other Teachers who have 
said that any other aliens would not be able to 
come here unless they are so advanced into Light 
and Life.  You would have to be pretty well 
advanced in order to be able to travel 
interstellar.  So I don’t think we have anything to worry about.

John:  There were 36 worlds who were part of the 
rebellion who went into isolation, of which we 
are about in the middle in terms of age.  So we 
are about the 18th out of 36 and the ones who are 
newer, maybe a million years newer, they have the 
technology.  They still are in isolation.

Larry:  So you are saying that maybe they are 
already advanced that far already.  Are they into Light and Life?

John:  Well, yeah, they could get here on a disk 
that floats in the sky (unintelligible).

Larry:  But I am saying, if they are so advanced 
they are not going to go around harming people.

Donna:  But, anyway, she asked JarEl.  So JarEl, 
you can answer, if you like.  Or we can just keep 
going on with the talking.  We can give our answers.  (laughter)

JarEl:  TR, George.  I will give my answer.  To 
begin with, my friends, your world is so far off 
from making official contact with you fellow 
neighbors on other worlds that this is of no 
concern to you, simply because it is reserved for 
another age.  And all of this  speculation 
results in nothing.  From what I heard, the 
statement was made out of the position of fear 
and we strongly advise that you do not fear.  For 
there is really nothing to fear ­ even if you 
were to die, your life will continue and no real harm will come to you.
This universe will embrace you and care for you 
forever.  You have more to worry about from your 
fellow human beings than from these aliens of 
which you speak.  Most are simply here to observe 
you, nothing more.  Set your fears aside and look towards uniting
humanity.  That is the best policy I can 
advise.  However, what I say here and now will 
not stop you from speculating or from looking 
towards the skies and imagining.  And it is your 
right to do that.  I simply say that it is a 
waste of effort for there are more important 
things to deal with on this world that require 
your attention and your honest criticism.  You 
can speculate all you want about aliens from 
other planets but in the end it will not get you 
anywhere near to the solution of the real problems that exist here and now.

Stella:  I agree.

Donna:  JarEl, I remember one of your very first 
lessons years ago.  And it might have even been 
the very first lesson and I remember it clearly and you were saying that ‘
fear
is a spirit poison’.  And that is so true on many 
levels.  So, thank you for reminding us of that.

Norman:  JarEl, yesterday we were at Venice Beach 
and we had one fellow come out who had been 
reading the book for several years.  He is a 
street person, a guitar player, and his name is 
Ed.  He was wondering where we had been for the 
last four years because we haven’t been at the 
beach and he missed us being there.  I was just 
wondering if he, and others like him, because of 
our efforts at Venice, will bring many or some 
new readers to the Convention here in Los Angeles 
next summer?  And Pato was there and
he met him also, so we just want to remember him 
and can you tell us, will he be coming and will he be a part of this?

JarEl:  TR, George.  As far as the individual, I 
cannot predict as to their future actions.  But I 
can say that all of your efforts will be 
rewarded.  You do make a difference and people 
notice when you are not there.  So continue that work (taped segment missing)..
that it is not affecting people in a genuine 
way.  Allow for the time and eventually you will 
see the fruits of all your labors.

And with that I will leave you.

All:  Thank you JarEl.
