Arcadia, California
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Greetings to you this evening, welcome to all
of you who have come; to those of you who have not been here for a
while and to those of you who are just visiting this evening. First
off I would like offer the opportunity for anyone who is receiving
any messages from their teachers and who would like to share with
the group.
OK, we will move forward here. I am Teacher JarEl and again it is
good to have the opportunity to speak to you through this TR. All
of God’s creation is a loving creation, from the perfect and
sentient beings of Paradise down to the slowing emerging and
evolving animals of the evolutionary worlds. Every rock, every
plant, every drop of water and all the gases which make up the
atmosphere are all part of God’s loving Universe. God has created
the universes in the mind of love with the intention that slowly
love would bring correctness, truth, beauty and goodness to bear
upon each imperfect situation, that it would bring it into line with
the Paradise Directive: “Be you perfect even as the Father in
Heaven is perfect.”
What exactly does love have to do with it? Has there ever been a
situation that you have applied love to that did not benefit and how
many times have you tried to deal with a situation and not bring
love into it? Did it benefit? Everything was created for you
personally, to experience within your own heart and mind the quality
of love and to begin to nurture your own life and the lives of those
around with this love. Everything was created just for that!
Hundreds of millions of years were taken to prepare this world, just
so that you could come here and experience the fragment of the
divine essence of love and eternity right here and now, this very
short life on this very challenging rock. You have been blessed in
this Age with a Revelation that beyond any shadow of a doubt
continues to show forth and unfold a much larger pattern and picture
in which this world and you in your local universe contribute a
tremendous and overwhelming importance.
Most of you have heard this before, our intention in this Teaching
Mission is to activate the Thought Adjusters and the beings which
the Adjusters indwell, to activate the source of love within the
human heart and to create a situation through conscious and
intelligent effort in which you continue to show forth and hold love
in the place of confusion, doubt, suffering, illness, anger, fear,
jealousy and hatred. With the whole world crushing down on your
shoulders, to be able to smile and open your heart and know that it
is God’s Will that you love everything, especially that which you do
not yet understand, those people that you have not yet met,
especially those that you do not particularly like, for whatever
reasons. It is your responsibility to find any way possible to hold
forth this presence in a space of love and for each individual it is
an individual solution, many will see it in different ways. Some
people pray, some people meditate, some people intend, some people
talk about it and some people just put their lives on hold to be of
service to a much greater understanding of God’s Work in the world
of God’s People. You are each indwelt with a life, a purpose, a
direction, opportunities, especially you who live in a country that
is overwhelming in opportunities and availability of even the most
basic of necessities.
Be careful of what you take for granted, there is only one truth.
That truth is that you are loved, you will always be loved no matter
what you become, how you choose to become that and what you have to
do to grow, you will be loved. You are not judged, but loved.
Through wisdom you are given mercy, grace and strength. It is the
one thing that you can count on until that eventful day when you
enter upon the eternal shores of Paradise that you will be lovingly
guided, personally escorted.
The Master of the Universe lived on your world. He lived in your
world as one of you, as an example of how one of you could actually
be great. His greatness was not in that he had a prestigious
position, a tremendous wealth or a large following of friends, but
his greatness was that he had deep wisdom and the ability to hold
the presence of God within his heart and mind. In that presence he
could meet another human being and approach them in a position of
understanding of love. He had an innate ability to read a person;
to just look at them, see and know what it is that they longed for,
what was the heavy burden they were carrying and offer some kind
words of encouragement and support, at times clarity and truth. How
many times you will read that Jesus went out of his way to attend to
a person who was ill or a person who was in need. In Iron Jesus
went into the mines and worked as a laborer that he may bring the
presence of God wherever men were and women.
The work of God never changes. Human conditions will continue to
impose challenges, as it is so doing now in the world, but the work
is the same. There is more fear to calm down, more hearts to
gladden with good tidings and more confusion to sort out. So if you
are such that you would bend and brake and snap by the overwhelming
complexities of human issues and human emotions you will not be able
to hold forth in the presence of God and show forth for God. You
must be grounded in the presence of Spirit, connected to that Divine
Presence within, so that no matter what comes down you are able to
show forth the Kingdom within your heart. It is true that there
were many people who met Jesus and they were not impressed, they
could care less. There were many who where frightened by him,
frightened by his self-assuredness, his knowingness, his somewhat
insensitivity to criticism or probing. There were people who saw
him as a threat and there were those who sought to destroy him and
the work he was doing.
Well, what has changed? Two thousand years and you are still
dealing with the same things. Now you have people pretending to be
Christians who are not necessarily loving and compassionate or
altruistic, who are held sway by the slightest human emotion or
inclination of war or rumors of war; the fear or rumors of fear, of
invisible enemies, of threatening situations. My friends do not
fall. Do not fall for the small whims of rhetoric that seek to
destroy that which is being prepared for greatness. Hold forth, in
that sense the Christians are right, you know, stand on the rock!
God is that solid, more permanent.
All of this has been created for a garden of beauty. I will tell
you right now that your astronomers in the centuries to come, when
they begin to discover planets around suns will seek to find the
water worlds and will find very few. You traveling on in your lives
and worlds to come will also recall this planet of your initial
habitation as one of immense and extreme beauty. There are very few
worlds like it in the Universe of Nebadon. You have no idea of what
you are living on, an absolute jewel of a world. The Master Creator
Son himself came to this world. Yes, it had been distraught by two
defaults, spiritual defaults: the Lucifer Rebellion and the Adamic
mishap. And yet it as claimed, redeemed at the price of one human
life, a life lived in greatness and grace. Each one of you, a son
and daughter of the Spirit of Truth itself, have the same
responsibility to live that one life in grace, in beauty and in
righteousness, with all the strength and all the trimmings that are
yours as a son or daughter of God. Do not doubt, belittle or
otherwise condemn yourselves or your efforts. There is no wasted
effort in the kingdom, if all else fails, a simple smile will due.
It seems to me that those of you in this room have been called to
something greater than just casual and ordinary experience.
Something that is as profound and extraordinary as discerning the
presence of God within yourselves has brought you here tonight; to
be able to see beyond the veil, doubts, into the face of
possibility, into the eyes of reason, into the mind of wisdom and
into the voice of experience. So for a few moments you can come
here and experience greatness, you can feel within yourselves this
presence. You almost know that you can palpate it, touch it, that
it can carry you through the week on wings, like an eagle and soar
higher than the seagulls and pigeons, can see whole areas of planets
and you can understand who you are and why you are here. Begin to
listen when that little voice says the things we don’t like to hear,
tells you things that you don’t particularly want to do.
If you are wondering if God is talking to you or not, begin talking
to him, present yourself and expect greatness. God is the greatest
gift, expect greatness. Don’t expect mediocrity, God is not
mediocre and what he asks of you may be simple but it will be
dynamic in its’ effect. You may do something very simple for one
person but it may have a tremendous and dynamic response.
Jesus really did not do many great things did he? When he lived his
life here, he did very simple things. He listened, he touched them,
he said a kind word, he avoided confrontation. He tried to find
ways to get groups of men and women to learn how to work with each
other and show some respect for each other. Yet those simple things
still have a profound and dynamic effect upon the lives of the
humans who live on this world today. I would encourage you to study
those papers, to really begin to see and understand how the man
lived. What would Jesus do in this situation? When things got
really heavy, look how upset Jesus got, you would be hard pressed.
He was much more upset probably by the rejection of his people at
the end when he was in the garden laying on a stone and crying. He
asked Father to forgive them because they didn’t really understand
and he prayed to strengthen those who did understand, so that others
would continue to understand because of their lives. He was not
disheartened because he could not change the whole world, but he
mourned because there was a tremendous opportunity that was being
wasted, that more than anything upset him. It was not the hatred or
corruption that upset him. He was able to see how small-minded
attitudes could move masses of people to do the wrong things, that
is what he saw. He knew it would take a long time for these same
masses of people to see righteous men in their true life, and yes,
he was distraught with that.
So my friends do not get distraught over history meaninglessly
imposing itself constantly on the present day situations. This is
nothing more than the weak and unimaginative minds who are so
desperate to hold onto their power and their strength and are afraid
to give that power to the giver of all power. Those of you who know
God, know that there is no other power than the power that runs
within your very veins, the movement of your heart muscles are by
his word and his will.
Thank you for allowing me to speak to you tonight through Henry and
if any of you have any questions, we will move forth, thank you.
George: Thank you JarEl for that beautiful message. I just want to
put out a situation that I have been going through and I feel there
was a lesson that was attached and that I failed. I was not too
proud that I succumbed to road rage and this time I took it too
far. I just lost control and I was actually in a duel with another
person who was equally mad at me. We were driving down the 110, it
was a very winding road and we were trying to crash into each other
and I was angry. Afterwards I felt bad, after all the anger calmed
down I felt very bad. What I did was stupid and I should know
better. I am not perfect and I realized that the guy was me and
that I was fighting against myself. Since then I try to stay calm
and try to be courteous to people but I still think about it and I
feel ashamed. That is part of the reason why I sometimes fault
myself and wonder whether I am capable of making any sort of
connection with you or what might be the will of God? Do you have
any comments over this?
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Yes I do. Stop belittling yourself. Stop
condemning yourself. God knows you are not perfect. Jesus knows
you are not perfect and I know you are not perfect. That is not why
we are here and that is not why you are here. We are here to teach
you, to help you, to show you how to hold forth in living
situations. The fact that you can acknowledge what you have done,
share it and put it into perspective shows that you are learning and
are understanding. God does not judge my friend, nor does Michael
judge you. God does not love you any less because you make a
mistake. If anything, God loves you even more because you have
acknowledged, have seen. There is nothing magic in here, you are
not going to all of a sudden switch into a different frequency and
consciousness just because you TR, you pray to God or God speaks to
you. No, you have to exercise intelligence, you have to be able to
remember that incident. When you begin to feel this chemistry
welling up in you and this resentment, that is when you need to have
something like a little string on your finger. Then you untie it
you remember yes, I am to exhale, I am to breathe, and I am to relax
and defuse this way that I feel. Because if I don’t it will take me
over and I will not be responsible for its consequence, just a
victim. But to feel that there is a problem with the connection,
that is only in your mind, that is not in the mind of God, in the
mind of Michael or his Spirit of Truth or in my ability to connect
with you, it is in your ability.
This is a very good lesson for everyone. When Jesus called forth
the apostles to do his work he didn’t pick twelve perfect people.
He picked twelve common men, at least ten of them were, and he
patiently nurtured and took care of these men and trained them. He
never judged them. He loved them and he tried to help avert pending
tragedies because they were a little on the radical side and they
could have easily…. especially during his arrest, they could have
really made a mess of things. They could have really got themselves
in trouble. He was just trying to protect them, because he knew
that they had a job to do and that his was done, whether they liked
it or not. He did not judge or condemn Peter, but Peter felt so
guilty because three times he denied knowing his Master. Peter felt
unworthy, Peter felt it was because of him that the Master did not
appear to the apostles first. It is just in your mind my friend and
life is too short to entertain such and if you continue thinking
like this you will not open yourself up to greater understanding and
growth. I can assure you that you need to change the way you think,
you need to open up and expand a little more in that you are a son
of God. You are worthy of all the grace and goodness that comes
from the son of God, no matter how hard you may slip. It could have
been worse, could it not have been? One of you could have wound up
being killed, correct?
George: Yes.
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Yes, so use that lesson wisely. Juxtapose it
against the lesson that I gave you this evening and you will see a
little clearer what I mean by rounding yourself within the presence
of God, not within the energetic emotional nuances of the human
mind; your pattern pass and your ego and who is the stronger and
more dominate male on the road. These emotional and sociable
physiological issues are part of everyday living. So do you
understand what I mean when I say that God does not love you less
and he does not take away what is given to you? He continues to
love and continues to nurture and if he is not going to judge or
condemn you, why should you do that to yourself? That is
un-God-like and if he is not going to strike you dead at the moment,
way should you do it to yourself? That is what I have to say to
you, so take this in love and peace, and digest it, thank you.
George: Thank you.
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Any other concerns, thoughts or
acknowledgements?
Virginia: I have a question, I have been wondering about it a long
time. The parents who have children less than perfect, either
mentally or physically handicapped, are they chosen to have this
child who is less than perfect? Rather than somebody else? Or is
it an accident? It is hard for me to understand.
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Yes it would be hard for one to understand. I
would tend to have you look at it more like an accident. That we
are all given challenges to work with, some of them may come in the
form of children. Some of them may come in the form of a spouse.
Some of them may come in the form of a parent. On the world in
which you live, in which the genetic racial stocks are less modified
through careful and selective manipulation, which would have taken
place had not two major spiritual defaults occurred, what happens is
that there is a random genetic mishap in which occasionally some of
the children born are born with physical and mental challenges. It
is not the guilt or karma of the parent, for these are just
situations that come up. You happen to be the parent, they happen
to be the children and you have free will choice on how to deal with
the situations. There are many institutions and much experience and
learning knowledge that exist today on your world to address
situations of both physical and mentally handicapped children.
There is help, yes, but to answer you, of which I think was your
major concern, was there some unforeseen connection between
particular parents and particular children? This is not the case,
it would be better to view this as circumstance….ah…and just the way
things manifest themselves on this world in not so perfect
situations. Does this help you Virginia?
Virginia: Yes it does, thank you.
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. You are welcome……….Are the any other questions
of concern this evening?
Steve: It was quiet inspiring to hear your description of this
planet as the jewel of the worlds of Nebadon. Especially compared
to the average intelligent life bearing planets we seem to stand out
as a world of exquisite beauty in the physical sense. Yet there are
a great deal environmental atrocities that are occurring at the
present and ugliness in the hearts of human beings in certain parts
of the world, really creates a startling contrast to that idyllic
picture you painted. I was wondering if there are celestial beings
who are trying to reach or can reach the hearts of human beings to
make them cognizant of just how beautiful this world is? Perhaps
that realization, the behaviors of human beings and their attitude
towards the planet and their fellow human beings, can change to the
positive. Can you comment?
JarEl: TR, Henry Z. Yes I can comment Steve. Part of the work of
the Midwayers and the Celestial Angelic Realm does deal specifically
with particular individuals and institutions that have to do with
maintaining the symmetry and balance of the physical world. They
are working on many levels actually and yes, Urantia being the world
of contrast, as you so aptly portrayed in your assessment. For the
human it at least does appear to be quite overwhelming and somewhat
frustrating. Yes there are things that are going on in this world
which will permanently alter some of its’ physical characteristics.
It has not yet reached critical mass where it cannot maintain life,
though it is swiftly moving in that direction. Yes, there are
spiritual agencies who are observant and who are doing, within the
guidelines given to them, what they can to effect change. The
spiritual universe is limited, first of all by the conscious ability
of the human mortals to just acknowledge, so it is very challenging
in the spiritual realm to sit and watch sophisticated and
intelligent people, institutions and societies have a blatant
disregard for the quality of life that must continue to maintain
itself after their brief little sojourn here. They are aware of
what is going on. Nothing is missed or skips the sight and insight
of the spiritual and celestial realms. All is being done that could
possibly be done, short of human decision, human will; the ability
of consciousness to open up to the divine presence within, to begin
to see through the eyes of God, to think with the mind of God and to
touch with the hand of God, to speak the voice of God. Thank you.
Any other thoughts? If not, I would like to thank you for coming
and would ask in the coming week to take some times to consider what
we discussed this evening and to just hold yourself into a beautiful
presence and space with God a few moments. To ask God to reaffirm
once again with you his love and assure you of his presence. So go
in peace my friends, go quietly into your lives, take one day at a
time and we will see you shortly, Good bye.
All: Thank you JarEl.
