Session
Opening
Henry: Father, accept us here tonight. Please accept our prayers, our wishes for peace. We are thankful to be here and to share the wonders of the lives you have given us here; the opportunities for friendships and the opportunities to express your love. Please send us more love. Please help us in times of tribulation that we may know how to get back.
JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is good to see all of you once again. Welcome to those who are here for the first time. There are sections of your world that are entering into darkness. Light is slowly fading out. Some prefer the darkness. It is a way for them to avoid seeing the harsh truth and they are misted over with a great darkness within their minds, prohibiting them from seeing the situations going on in this world.
Lesson
Light
Tonight I am here to tell you, that what you carry in your hearts is pure and divine light. It shines forth and diminishes all darkness. This divine light brings forth truth, beauty, and goodness. It brings forth truths that most people are afraid to face. Sometimes you are shy in projecting your light, in showing forth how beautiful you are inside. Sometimes you shy away from showing others how beautiful they are inside. The light you bring is love, friendship, life, and you carry this life because you wish you willed it you want to carry it. In the same way that you have freewill to do anything else that you wish, this life exists inside of you because you want it to exist and because you have searched for it your entire life.
The fragment of God inside of you resonates this life by projecting it out into the souls of every human being within your radius. You are positively charged and showing forth your inference, your view, your art. You are a very powerful creature indeed, capable of creating the most exquisite beauty and at the same time the most terrifying horror. All this because you have freewill, free choice, as to where your life shall be led.
There are many in this world that are being led into darkness as we speak; so called oil-men, are swimming in their oily graves and are beckoning others to join them. You know better than this. When you shine your light you see the dark glimmer of the darkness, you see its boundary, its borders. There are some places that even your light cannot penetrate but in your hearts you hold true to the true source and center that is the light and life. As long as you hold true to this, this darkness that encroaches the world shall not be true, it will not penetrate your heart or your mind.
It is more vital today than ever that you recognize your power. That you recognize this gift that God has endowed you with; to act upon and to show forth to all the peoples of this world how beautiful life can be. Don’t let them dwell in fear. Don’t let them sink into the darkness. I shall always try to remain bright so that you may find me. Thank you my friends. Are there any questions or comments tonight?
Dialogue
Lucille: JarEl is there any way that we can increase the intensity of the light? Does it come by slowly growing or suddenly?
JarEl: TR, George. You increase the intensity of the light when you unite it with others who carry this light within them, by joining them and being a part of them. You create a greater force, a greater energy than is your own. While you are all here in this room the light is greatly intensified, it shines beyond these walls, at least city-wide.
Stella: Is there enough light in the world to counteract the dark? In others words is there a balance or a point where the good overcomes the evil?
JarEl: TR, George. Good will always conquer evil no matter how the odds are stacked up against it. Darkness only exists because people choose to live in darkness. When you yourself decide to carry forth this light others will see and they will join, eventually defeating darkness.
Henry: I have a question JarEl. I would like you to comment on something. I would like to know a little bit about how the spiritual universe sees human beings taking each other’s lives? I would like to know if they view it as just a phase in our evolution? Is it an integral part of human nature? Is it something that is just taken for granted in the spiritual world? Do you have any comments?
Murder
JarEl: TR, George. Certainly Henry. The simple act of murder is surely a lesser, more animal-based reaction when confronted with a conflict. It is dismissed in our view from a purely evolutionary standpoint. In our view from a spiritual standpoint it is considered an aggression against another person’s freewill. By committing murder you have forfeited that person’s life here on this planet, essentially cutting short any further material opportunity for their learning, growing or having families. So in essence you have imposed on their freewill. Of course they’ll have ample opportunity to exercise their freewill once they reach the Mansion Worlds, but if a person has violated the sacred endowment, serious consideration is given and it does set them back.
When murder is committed on the battlefield in war it is given every opportunity to have the benefit of the doubt. In time of great conflict many do not know what they do. So unless you know perfectly well what you are doing when you are committing murder (and believe me anyone who commits murder has no idea what they are doing). For if you did know what you were doing you would be far ahead of your time and you would be reaching and viewing far into the distant future, to the Morontia Worlds, to the Worlds of the Finaliters, perhaps all the way to Paradise. But since your prospective is somewhat limited and minute, we understand that you simply do not know what you are doing when you commit such an offense. So every opportunity is given you to be free of this. Does that answer your question Henry?
Henry: Not really. You use the word offense, so that makes me think that maybe the spiritual universe finds it offensive, that is what I was trying to find out?
JarEl: TR, George. It is offensive and it is barbaric.
Henry: I personally agree with you………………
JarEl: TR, George. I will just tell you this Henry that when a person decides himself, or a group of people decide, to take a person’s life they are assuming the role of the Creator.
Henry: How such?
JarEl: TR, George. They have passed judgment upon that person, deeming that person not worthy of surviving or going forth on this world. Therefore they have taken up that role. That is a serious transgression, for no one has the right to judge.
Henry: I would agree with that but is it not also the case that group decisions are taken into consideration?
JarEl: TR, George. What I was referring to by the group was a vigilante or a posse, those who try to take the law into their own hands.
Larry: JarEl, I would like to ask a question about the sniper back East who has killed eight people now. Does society have the right to bring that person to justice and execute him, if found guilty?
JarEl: TR, George. The lawmen shall reign over that man and as a society in your current evolutionary status you do have that right.
Larry: So would that be considered murder if the state executes him?
JarEl: TR, George. There are other ways to resolve such problems as this. Think of it this way: are you really getting rid of a problem by sending him to us?
Henry: Do you want us to answer that? (Laughter)
Larry: We have someone new here tonight, Lynn. Lynn if you want to ask some questions, just feel free to ask.
Lynn: OK, I just thought that what I heard was very responsive.
JarEl: TR, George. Thank you.
Henry: ………………………….. It must be tragic in the Spiritual Universe to have to standby and watch us in our barbarism, you must be appalled?
Closing
JarEl: TR, George. We also standby and watch you and see you blossom and see all the people on this world growing in light and beauty. To us that is what we look for. Thank you all for coming tonight, I bid you good night.
All: Thank you JarEl.
