Teachers:  JarEl
 
TR:  George Benavides
 
Topics:  We are fortunate to have each other; people with similar goals
and thoughts.  
              The mixed up and confused world needs correction,
needs us to speak out.
              We have been given a wonderful revelation in The
Urantia Book.
              The book contains essentials we really do need to
understand our place…
              Yet, much was left out that wasn’t yet necessary for
us to understand.
              The information we have now is enough for us to grow
as spiritual citizens…
              What we have is so valuable and wonderful that it
will change this planet
              The challenge now is to communicate by reaching out
to God and others.
              The challenge is for us to grow in spirit, light and
life.
              As guardians of this revelation it is our duty to….
              There may be occasions we need to rise up to, and set
things right.
 
Questions:  Why do I find it so difficult, this spiritual
growth path?           
                   Aren’t we here mainly for the care of others?
                   Isn’t it correct that there are no more evil
spirits around to bother us?
                   Are evil tendencies almost like a virus?
                   Aren’t we sort of like turtles who carry our
homes within us?
 
Prayer:  Michael:  Dear
Father/Mother, I’d like to thank you for tonight’s gathering.  It’s a little sad for me to leave this
wonderful and beautiful circuit of people, but I know that each one of them is
etched into my soul and I am going to take everything I’ve learned here and use
it to strengthen my life as I go on.  So
thank you for these gatherings and thank you for these wonderful people.  May you continue to bless us all with your
love, with your truth, with your light and with this incredibly challenging but
adventurous world and this romantic universe.  We thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you make this possible
for us.
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  Good
evening.  It is I, your teacher
JarEl.  It is good to be back again and
I welcome those who have not been here for a while.  
 
You are all very fortunate to have
each other as friends, as acquaintances, as people of similar goals and similar
thoughts.  For the most part your world
is mixed up, confused.  It leans more
and more into a materialistic understanding of the universe.  But in a way it is a good thing, for it
creates an extreme on the other side of the spectrum, where the opposite is
true.  The more and more it leans into
one direction, the more and more all of you see the need to speak out and to
correct many of these misinterpretations of how the universe acts or how the
universe is.  
 
You have been given a wonderful
revelation in the form of The Urantia Book that explains much of what you need
to know.  For much of this was debated
prior to the construction of The Urantia Book as to what you really do need to
understand your place in this universe.  And much was left out for it was not yet necessary for you to
understand.  At one point in your
universe career these things will be revealed to you.  But for now, suffice it to say that the information that you have
is enough for you to begin to grow as a spiritual citizen of this
universe.  And what you have is so
valuable and so wonderful that it will change this planet.  It will bring new understanding and new,
wonderful motivation for its citizens to not only correct their mistakes but to
grow in the grace of God as it is illustrated in the book.  The book will ultimately be just a guide for
all of those who truly know God.  It
will be a wonderful message and roadmap for those who truly seek to understand
God. 
 
 But in the end the truth will be revealed from within, from your
understanding and your connection with God the Father.  In the end you will be given more and more
revelation, more understanding.  And as
you pass on from this planet, you will be accessing more.  So in the end you will look back to these
wonderful days of your discovering The Urantia Book.  You will not only be grateful for this beginning trend in your
life, but you will also be understanding of why much was omitted and why you
could not have all the information that you wished you had.  It was all thought out in advance.  There are no mistakes as to why so many
things were omitted.  Just know that
what you have here was enough for this place and time.
 
The challenge that you have now is
to communicate; to reach out to God and to others from God.  The challenge is for you to grow in spirit;
in light and in life and to make that connection that is and shall always be
within you.  It is not something
external that you seek out or build.  It
is something that is inside you that your ancient forefathers already
knew.  It is just a simple matter of
looking within and knowing who you are so that you may separate yourself from
all the understanding that comes your way and so that you may know that it is
from without when you receive this.
 
Every one of you here is capable of
communicating, of reaching out.  There
is nothing more special about any one of you that sets you apart and makes you
different.  For God loves all of you and
God has equipped every one of you with the same patterns that will make it
possible for you to reach Him.  And
perhaps that is what is so unique and special about those who read The Urantia
Book; that they look at all peoples as equals.  They recognize his potentiality in every human being and so they treat
others as their equals, while at the same time searching for that true Source
and Center that will find them perfection.
 
As guardians of this revelation, it
is your duty to disseminate all the truths that you find within this book into
the world.  So that others may one day
realize their importance in life, their value.  For it is truly sad that now in the world so many feel they have no
value.
And so many more feel that others
do not have any value.  You are all
equal in God’s eyes and He loves you all just the same.  To diminish another human being is so
terrible  it is painful to watch.  For all those of us who have at one time
been mortal understand its cruelty.  Though, also, we understand that as a people you are where you’re at in
your evolutionary status and sometimes you cannot help yourself in being this
way.  And those who seek revelation (it
is those who seek God) that rise above this common attitude and seek higher
understanding and higher morals and ethics, that will eventually set them apart
from the common mind.  And it will
eventually bring a semblance of humanity to the peoples of Urantia.  
 
So, if, at a time, you see cruelty,
and iniquity; if, at a time, you see that people are being treated with
deference and cruelty, rise up to that occasion to set things right.  For you know the truth in this matter and it
should not be so that you remain silent.  You are the light of this world.  In you – you hold truths innumerable to count.  The potential in each and every one of you is so great and so
powerful that it will change the world over.  You simply must seek for this truth, locked away inside of you, so that
you may, in turn, bring it out to the world.
 
And with that, I now ask if there
are any questions?
 
John:  JarEl I seem to be in conflict so much with my life activities,
outside of the realm of the fellowship within Urantia study groups and Teaching
Missions and those other types of activities, and I am finding it exceedingly
difficult to bring forth these qualities that I seem to be receiving in these
meetings and the study groups into my daily life.  Why is that?  Can you
offer any kind of help on that, please?
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  The ideals
that you seek can sometimes not mesh well with your real life.  It is up to you as an individual to coordinate
all that is in you and relate it to your real life.  And perhaps many times that you cannot coincide much of this has
to do with you and how you react and how you manage a situation.  Those situations will always be there; those
circumstances will always exist.  But it
is up to the individual how he or she reacts.  You still have a lot to learn and you still have much growing to
do.  Have patience in your
understandings and your approach.  You
will eventually come to a place where you are at peace with yourself and your
surroundings and with those that you love.  
 
Any relationship requires work and
commitment, but it also requires a great amount of patience to see it
through.  Your commitment to things
spiritual is admirable, but that should not take over your entire life.  Do not take everything so seriously.  Learn to live your life as a human as well,
for you are part of this world.  And
allow yourself to make mistakes, but always have in mind to correct those
mistakes later on.  You are not perfect,
but you will eventually get there.  But
it is not something that will happen tomorrow or next year or even in fifty
years.  Perfection is an eternity
goal.  Learn to appreciate the things
that you have and it will go a long way towards finding happiness in this
existence.  
 
Does that help?
 
John:  Yes, thank you.
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  Are there any
other questions?
 
Ernie:  I have more of a statement, as a mandate I received.  It goes along with the lesson in that it was
stated “Who we are and what we are given is for the care of others.”
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  That is a
very true statement and you must ponder those words and truly understand what
they mean for you and for those you feel you must care for.  It is too easy to just identify a certain
group of people and say that those are the people that you need to look after,
while, at the same time, you discriminate a whole other group of people.  What you have inside you and what you are
given is meant for you to protect all humans.  But protection must be correctly disseminated.  It is not an easy black and white type of protection, it must be
understood and debated.  There are all
sorts of protection for this planet.  
 
Are there any other questions?
 
John:  I think I know the answer to this one, but I just want to get an
affirmation from you.  As far as I know
and from what I read in The Urantia Book, we won’t have to worry about any evil
spirits out there anymore bothering us, other than perhaps the residual effects
of what has occurred in the past.  Is
this correct?
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  That is
partly correct, my friend.  No evil
spirits or evil beings will interfere with your freewill, not unless you ask them
to.  You have a protection around you
that was given to you by Michael and your freewill is king among all of this.  However, you can fall into that pattern of
seeking other evil spiritual beings that will affect your mind and corrupt your
soul.  Residual evil does exist, but
this residual evil is a pattern that affects other minds and other spiritual
beings and they in turn perpetuate it to those who seek these types of
patterns. 
 
The pattern of life, which is God,
is void of these evil tendencies, for it does not exist within His perfect
pattern.  So the more you see this
corrupted pattern, the less the pattern of God is imprinted on you.  The less real you become, the more confused
you become and eventually there comes a time when the separation between you
and God is so great that cosmic insanity ensues and the ultimate corruption of
your mind and soul is irreversible.
 
But, you should not worry about
those things which you have not sought out yourself.  Remain faithful and loyal to God and He shall always be there to
protect you.  There is no need to seek
out these lesser, corrupted, individuals who have failed in their own personal
lives.  They are truly confused and
truly disoriented and they ultimately will confuse you as well, if you seek
them out.  
 
John:  I guess it’s almost like you could call these evil tendencies,
almost like a virus, I guess, huh?  
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  Yes, it is a
virus.  It is a pattern, a way of
thinking, a way of understanding the universe.  A confused way, albeit, for it makes claims about things that  are not and it seeks out to confuse those
who know the truth, but are doubtful about what the truth is. 
 
Those who understand God and feel
God should lean on that understanding. You are all very powerful that they
cannot reach you.  And that is the power
behind your freewill.  So trust in God and in yourselves to finding the truth.  Do not shatter or fall apart in the least amount of doubt for that only
shows that you never truly believed.  Find out who you are so that you may be grounded in your understanding
of who God is and what He means to you.  When you are sure of who God is for you, no amount of doubt in the world
can sway you from Him.  
 
Any other questions?
 
Michael:  Well JarEl, I just want to extend my appreciation for all these
lessons that you give us.  And, I am
going to be leaving town, I don’t know when I’ll return again to be able to sit
here in this group.  But I just wanted
to thank you for these times that have helped to grow my understanding and to
grow my spirit and my soul one step further.  Thank you.  
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  You are
welcome.  And let me remind you that,
from my perspective, you are going nowhere just yet. (laughter)  
 
Michael:  I thank you for reminding me of that, as well.  And, just to add, recently I had a session,
with a journal, where I was contemplating that we’re  moving from this home to that home and it instantly came to me,
explaining how we are like the turtles – we carry our homes with us, within us,
always, and everybody and everything is constantly within us.  And I understand that I have to keep
reminding myself that the material is only one sliver of the grander puzzle,
the grand pie, so to speak.  
 
JarEl:  TR, George:  Yes, this
world is a bridge which you traverse over to get to the other side.  But you always carry your home with you;
(Yes) your existence, your understanding of humanity and your friends.  And when you eventually do leave this
planet, all that you have inside you will be all you need.  And you will find that out as you go.  You have a glimpse of this
understanding.  You are very intelligent
and very intuitive as well.  The people
that you leave behind here will always be with you.  And the people that you will eventually meet have always been
with you in some way.  When you
eventually eliminate all time barriers, you will see that friends and family
and God and even I, have always been with you.  And that is something to ponder.  
 
And with that, I leave, goodnight.
 
All:  Goodnight and thank you.
