Prayer – Norman: Heavenly Father, thank you for 
bringing us together this evening and may the 
teachers have a lesson for us, may we learn that 
lesson and go about it in a decent-like manner 
fulfilling your will. Thank you for each person 
that is here tonight and those that are away from 
us and we give Christ Michael and you credit and 
we ask these things in Jesus’ name, amen.

George/JarEl: Good evening.

Group: Good evening.

George/JarEl: It is I, your teacher JarEl.

Lucille: Welcome.

George/JarEl: It is good to be back once more. 
And I greet all of you here in this room.

  As you travel, and by that, I mean your travels 
through the spiritual realm, as you travel you 
should remember to always take the attitude of a 
child, a wondrous child who has no idea what will 
come around the corner; but, at the same time, is 
excited for what may come. It is too easy to 
become jaded, to become all-knowing and to say 
you know all the answers. And the reason I say it 
is too easy is because all too often ideas become crystallized in this
 world.

  Religions can become crystallized, dogmatized. 
So, even an idea such as God could be stripped of 
all life and made as a dead word in a book. So 
when you take the attitude of a child and look at 
everything as new and alive, you substitute that 
jadedness with genuine excitement for your future 
and your destiny. Do not allow yourself to become 
jaded. Do not allow yourself to become 
indifferent either. There are so many things that 
you can relearn if you were just to look over 
something again. Maybe there is something that 
you missed the first time around, perhaps you 
need to look closer to examine what you could have missed.

  This world gives you thousands and thousands of 
opportunities to discover something new everyday. 
Just because you’ve lived a long life does not 
mean you know everything about this world. 
Neither does it give you a right to presume you 
know everything in the face of others. You must 
humble yourself at the sight of pure knowledge, 
for it is pure knowledge that will elevate your 
mind, it is pure knowledge that will lead you 
towards your destiny, a destiny full of life and 
electricity. Whenever you substitute all of this 
for presumed acquired knowledge, you limit 
yourself from the potentials that exist out there, for all of you.

  Every single individual on this planet has 
equal potential, they just need to learn to find 
it and, yes, sometimes to fight for it. But 
despite whatever upbringing you may have had, 
despite all of the knowledge you may have 
acquired, or despite all of the religions that 
exist on this planet that declare to have the 
truth, one must always follow this child-like 
attitude in order to unlock the inner-workings of 
the mysteries of God. For it is only as a child 
that he will open up to you. And this idea is 
more complex than that, but, I tend to simplify 
it for you so that you may put it in some sort of 
context. Do not take my words literally, it is 
like a child in which you must have your 
attitude. And I do not doubt you know what I 
mean, for this concept has already been spoken of 
in the Urantia Book, and it has been thoroughly explained there.

  And so I do urge you to be as a child so that 
you may always be open to these new ideas that 
may come your way. Be as a child so that you may 
always be excited when you discover something 
new. Be as a child so that you will be friendly 
to those who may contain a lesson for you. Be as 
a child so that you may love unconditionally. Be 
as a child so that you may be loved 
unconditionally as well. As I look down on all of 
you there has always been this realization on my 
part that you are all still children in many 
respects; you have much to learn and much to 
grow. But at the same time, you are very 
beautiful and tender. And you are worth every 
ounce of energy that is given towards you so that 
you may reach the higher levels of spirituality. 
Every effort given from us to you has ultimate 
justification. For everything that we do for you, 
you will also do for others when your time comes. 
We have no doubt of that. Despite your choices in 
this current life, in your ultimate destiny, you 
are all very good individuals who truly love God 
and have the potential to love one another.

  It is fear that brings you apart. It is fear 
that stops you from joining with one another to 
better this world. But yes, you are still those 
children who do not entirely know all the facts. 
You are still in the dark on many, many things. 
And when you mature, all this will be explained 
to you. And so you must trust us in that manner. 
And as a child, as children so often do, they 
trust their parents, and hope that their parents 
will lead them and nurture them, and protect 
them. And so we take our responsibilities as 
such, and we lead you, guide you, and nurture 
you, and yes, we sometimes do protect you. And we 
will continue to do so until the day that you can 
fend for yourself. We will continue to guide you 
until the day you are no longer a child of the 
universe but a son or a daughter who has come 
into maturity and who has grown in the grace of 
God. For this is the destiny of all of you.. Are 
there any questions here tonight?

Stella: This is another subject but I was just 
wondering if there is anybody on the other side 
that can give me a miraculous healing on my hand. 
I know it’s tough to ask but it’s four and a half 
months and I still cannot use my fingers.

George/JarEl: My dear Stella, there are many of 
us on the other side who can miraculously heal 
your hand. But just because they can does not 
mean that they will do it. It is not a matter of 
you not receiving the prayers that you ask. It is 
simply a matter of not trying to interfere as 
much on this planet with the ways of this planet. 
There has already been too much of that.

  There is a way that you can heal yourself. But 
this requires much concentration and a direct 
connection with God. There is also a protocol in 
place in which many are not given permission to 
just come and heal those that they feel are 
worthy. I know it sounds like it’s cruel but 
there are reasons for such a protocol and in the 
long run even though you may not think of it 
right now, you will be thankful for the things 
that have happened to you, even the worst things, 
for they will be lessons for you, lessons you 
will carry forward for all of eternity.

  And Stella, my friend, it is suffering that you 
have. This pain will help you relate to those who 
are in pain as well, it will give you that 
relevance when you speak to others. You are a 
child of this planet, you are a child who has 
suffered as well. And so when you take these 
badges of courage with you onto the mansion 
worlds, you will be very very instrumental in 
convincing others to follow the path to God. For 
you will have things that they can relate to, for 
you lived just as they lived, you are not 
separate from others, you suffered just as they 
suffered. And this, my friend Stella, can 
sometimes turn out to be the ultimate gift. I am 
simply trying to put this in some perspective and 
I know it does not relieve what you are going 
through at this moment, but I promise you one day 
you will be glad something like this happened to you.

Stella: Well, I suppose you’re right. But, you 
know, when I think of my suffering, it is to the 
extent where I can’t use my hand. However, when I 
think of all the other people who suffer, 
excruciatingly, to me that suffering, rather than 
bringing them to believe in God, may turn them 
away from God because they may feel ‘God does not 
care about me, he is just allowing me to suffer’. 
So, I think at some point suffering has to be 
relieved. Otherwise, it’s extremely detrimental 
to a person. That’s my opinion, but I suppose there is stuff I do not
 know.

George/JarEl: That is a very valid opinion. There 
is much truth in that, but I also give you this. 
You can become that bridge from which they travel 
in not believing in God because they have 
suffered to believing in God because they have 
seen one who does believe in God and has also 
suffered. Perhaps not as much, but at least you 
can say that you do feel for them. You do 
understand them. And this will have more weight 
than from someone who has never suffered, who has 
had an easy life, and is just trying to convince 
them. Their words almost carry no weight 
whatsoever when it comes to people who suffer. Are there any other
 questions?

Joe: (Personal)

George/JarEl: I appreciate your sharing this with 
us. I do want you to know that you have an 
eternal family that will always love you. And 
regardless of what twists and turns your life 
takes you to, there is no judgment on our part, 
there is no expectation of what you should do or 
where you should go, there is only love. But we 
know that inside you, there is plenty of 
potential and what you choose to do with that 
potential is entirely up to you and it is between 
you and God, it has nothing to do with us. We are 
here to support you, to love you, and to help you 
with every decision that you make. Your life will 
surprise you. You will have many, many surprises. 
And your decisions are your own. And no one can tell you what to do.

Joe: (Personal)

George/JarEl: Let me explain how the universe 
family works. In the universal family there is no 
anger, there are no groupings, there are no 
exclusions, we accept everyone and we love 
everyone. And yes, even though there are 
different categorizations of angels, midwayers 
and so forth, we are still part of a family. We 
all make our own decisions, our own choices.

But the families that you deal with down on this 
planet tend to be more tribal, more 
nationalistic, more us vs. them. In the grand 
scheme of things there is no us and them. There 
is simply all of us, for we are all part of the 
same family and we all care for one another and 
we all root for one another. We all wish that 
everyone succeeds in whatever choices and 
decisions that they take and make. The 
experiences that you may have here on this planet 
with friends and family differ tremendously when 
you arrive on the higher planes of 
existence;there you will no longer suffer from such petty egotism.

  But you must learn this as you travel through 
this world, you must learn to deal with people in 
such ways where you can perhaps be at peace with 
everyone. That is not to say that you should bend 
to every will or every whim that they have. But 
you can build bridges and keep those bridges, 
there is no need to burn them. Your experiences 
will take you many places and all these places 
and all these people, and all these connections 
are valid, are worthwhile. And I, personally, 
will love to see you have many friends.

Joe: I want to say one thing. I know it’s 
personal to you, because I know you’ve already 
fused. If I decide to withdraw from the finaliter 
path or if I take it at a later date, I’d 
appreciate it, if that’s respected, like I said, 
I’m not afraid to love, and, personally, between 
you and me, the adjuster’s never led me wrong, 
but I don’t know where I’m going with everything 
that’s happened. I don’t know why, I’ve already, 
I don’t need to say it here but...

George/JarEl: That’s ok my friend, it’s not a 
choice you need to make here and now.

Joe: Yeah.

George/JarEl: There is plenty of time for that. 
Continue exploring your possibilities and your 
potentials. Trust in your heart, trust in yourself, do not doubt who
 you are.

Joe: And you know I wanted to, I’m hoping through 
all of this, when it’s all over - I’m really 
hoping maybe I can work, like you said, to build 
those bridges not burn them. I wanted to do 
something, since I was younger, I’ve always, I’ve 
always wanted to do something unique in this 
universe that no one has ever done before. I know 
I will. And, it’s my story, but, I wanted to, I 
wanted to stand for something, I wanted to, maybe 
even be a symbol, I wanted to do something that 
was meaningful to everybody, and I’ll work hard 
because everybody is my family and I care about 
them, and I want to make sure that everybody’s 
not, I don’t want there to be that kind of 
unhappiness that there was, you know? I’m 
committed to that, to working as hard as I need to, to do that.

George/JarEl: And we all appreciate this commitment on your part.

Joe: Yes. I wanted to ask one more thing and I 
guess I’ll leave it at that. Actually, two 
things. One was, are they going to finish the - I 
know they’ve already started doing the morontial 
blending on me and that seems to be going kind of 
slow. I was wondering if there is anything they 
can do, anything I can do to hasten that process?

George/JarEl: Yes there is something you can do. 
But you are also very slow at doing it.

Joe: Hey, I can tell.

George/JarEl: It is connecting with the true 
Source and Center that brings you closer to a 
morontia state. And all these things you can do, 
just as Stella can heal herself if she wanted to. 
Now there are ways that you can be taken off this 
world and be put into a morontia state just as 
there is a way they can miraculously heal Stella. 
But just because it can be done, does not mean it will be done.

Joe: Right.

George/JarEl: Be patient in everything around you.

Joe: I’ve been trying to connect more, it’s just, 
I think it would help, I’m not afraid to listen 
to it, it’s just there are times that, I don’t 
know if it’s just my own genetics or what not, 
but sometimes I go up and down and there are 
points of doubt and points of confidence. I’ve 
always wanted that to be fixed where I could kind 
of (inaudible) my head. That aside, I’m going to 
keep moving forward. I, I do try to connect. I’m 
doing the best I can. Despite my experiences, I’m 
not so arrogant that I would not heed to listen 
to the strange, strange inner thing that exists 
inside me. So, like I said, it hasn’t led me 
wrong and I respect that. I’m not afraid to try 
and continue to follow it even though I have difficulty connecting.

There was one other thing I wanted to talk about. 
I’m sorry I’m taking so much time, I just, I  had 
to say that, it was kind of important I got that 
off my chest. About two years ago, my 
ex-girlfriend, I was just sitting down with her, 
she never read the Urantia Book, you know, she 
never read the Urantia Book, I don’t think she 
did. She was just a regular church-going girl you 
know. She always pushed me to go to church and 
this and that, she was a sweet girl. And we were 
just you know, she kind of had some psychic 
ability about her I guess. And I hadn’t read the 
Urantia Book yet, this might have been three 
years ago, almost. We were just doing some file 
sorting at my mom’s place. And just out of the 
blue, I don’t know what prompted me to ask her 
this, but I just asked her about Caligastia. Hey, 
I don’t know why I did that, but I did. And the 
strangest thing ever happened, I never would have 
thought of this happening in a million years. My 
ex-girlfriend just started crying and she held on 
to me and she told me to stay away from him and 
said that he violated God’s will and there was 
something else she said but I don’t feel 
comfortable mentioning that here, but she held on 
to me for what seemed like 10 minutes, just 
balling her eyes out and told me to stay away 
from him. I’m just wondering how    she knew 
about that? Where that even came from. It was so strange.

George/JarEl: You will find that many people will 
have a similar reaction to that name.

Joe: Yeah, I noticed that.

George/JarEl: Despite the fact that they have no 
foreknowledge of the papers of the Urantia Book.

Joe: mmhm.

George/JarEl: It is sometimes a genetic reaction, 
a memory of old. And other times it is in 
connection with a thought adjuster prompt or a 
midwayer prompt. And even an angelic prompt. 
There are many ways that the universe can signal 
to you, something. And a name such as Caligastia 
can trigger such a reaction from many aspects of 
the universe, including your own genetic make-up. 
This world is still hurting from much of what 
Caligastia did and it has not altogether healed. 
Your former friend was very sensitive and she was right.

Joe: Can you, I know this probably isn’t standard 
to ask this, but, on my behalf, I would ask 
that
, because I think I broke her heart. I 
should probably be the one to do this but I don’t 
know how I could if I’m going to be here for a 
long time. Could you, could you promise me that 
you’ll take care of her? It’s important to me.

George/JarEl: She is well-taken care of. All things heal with time as
 well.

Joe: Yeah.

George/JarEl: And you will also have that opportunity to speak to her.

Joe: Thanks.

George/JarEl: Are there any final questions?

Joe: That’s all I have to say, thank you.

George/JarEl: Are there any more questions?

Lucille: JarEl, I would like to ask a question. 
Give me some suggestions on how we can get closer to God.

George/JarEl: My dear friend Lucille, you ask me 
this question everytime and I always give you this answer.

Group: Laughter

George/JarEl: The simple fact that you are asking 
in itself entails that you are getting closer to 
God. Your willingness to find a way to reach God 
enables you to become closer to him. So you are 
doing the right thing. And whenever you ask this 
question, that moment, you are closer to God.

Lucille: Thank you.

George/JarEl: You are most welcome.

Norman: JarEl: I’d like to ask, not a question, 
and that would be July 2nd through  the 6th will 
be the International Conference for the 
Fellowship in Los Angeles and I just wanted to 
ask
 Pato’s manager is not part of it but he said 
this could become a huge thing and I think the 
movement could kick it off, kick this movement 
off that will reach us to Paradise and so I’m 
wondering are we going along the right lines, are, will it be
 successful?

George/JarEl: There will be much success and much 
of the success you will not be able to measure. 
You must be willing to accept the visible, yet, 
sometimes meager successes that you may perceive. 
But trust that the successes that will entail 
from such a conference that you are about to have 
will be measured in the spiritual realm. And we 
do predict that it will have much success and 
reach many hearts and many minds. So do not be 
discouraged my friend, when you don’t see what 
you hope to see. But that does not mean that it 
does not exist. I hope you understand what I was 
trying to tell you. Now saying that, I wish you 
the best in this endeavor and I wish you all goodnight.

Group: Goodnight JarEl.

Stella: Thank you.
