Michael: Come To Me

JarEl: In the Teaching Mission Put Down Your Defenses

September 30, 2002

Larry: Dear Father thank you for bringing us together tonight with our beautiful, wonderful brothers and sisters, it is a joy. Please open our hearts and our minds, our eyes and our ears to the truth that is spoken here tonight. We are so grateful Father for this wonderful day you gave us and we are so grateful for all of our friends gathered here tonight, thank you, in Michael’s name, amen.

Michael: TR, Lucille. Good evening friends, this is Michael. Welcome my children; I just want you to know that I send you my love always. Come to me when you have questions or problems and I will help you. Reach up and I will reach down to you.

JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. It is good to see all of you once again, gathered together as true friends. Indeed you are friends and as friends you do need each other; to talk to, to listen or to just spend some time together. You need this interaction to discover in each other a part of you that exists, a part of you that you find in your closest friends, your most loved relatives or your intimate partner. This is why we seek out others, so that we may remind ourselves that we are alive and that we are acknowledged by others. When you interact with a friend and enjoy their company, you are enjoying a reflection of what your friends see in you. A reflection that is key to your personality that is the essence of your soul is a reflection of all that is good in you, all that is worthwhile. Sometimes we may not be able to see this ourselves, spending time by ourselves. Sometimes it is only revealed when we are in the presence of others who see this in us, who acknowledge and cherish it. It is only then you begin to feel good about yourself that you begin to realize you do have some worth.

Of course you can spend time by yourself, in the presence of the Father, and develop a keen self-esteem. The Father calls on you to interact with your brothers and sisters; to enjoy each others’ company. He calls upon you to deliver his message of love and of hope. How else can you do this but by going out and spending time with your brothers and sisters? Indeed, many social institutions are successful because of this interaction and many continue to attend these social events because they find in these events something which reveals who they are inside and then they go away energized. They go away with the knowledge that they have been acknowledged by others as do you when you come to this Teaching Mission.

When you leave here tonight you will know that the friends that you leave behind in this room do care for you and do love you. If anything were to happen to you, you know that they will be there for you. This is the acknowledgment that you find here, the acknowledgment that you find when you socialize with your friends, your family or your loved ones. That is why it is all important that you continue to be a part of this social scheme; social environment that presents to you an opportunity to grow, to interact and to relate. There is a reason for everything. There are no coincidences, no mistakes, so next time you find yourself in a situation where you are interacting with a total stranger, try to find the opportunity behind this. Discover the possibilities in which you may enrich this man or woman’s soul. Or perhaps this person has something to offer to you and you are just too fearful to open up and receive this message. The trick is to stay open, stay available to everyone you meet. Put down your defenses, put down your inherent instinct of survival, realize we are all in this together. We are all brothers and sisters. We all need each other. Cherish your friendships and befriend those who have no friends. I shall always be your friend. Know that you can always count on me. Are there any others who would like to speak tonight?

Lucille: JarEl, I want to say how much I appreciate and cherish your lessons and especially your friendship. I greatly look forward to you coming every two weeks and I would certainly miss it if you didn’t come.

JarEl: TR, George. I appreciate your gratitude Lucille. I shall always be consistent in your life and in your heart.

Lucille: Thank you.

Unknown Celestial: TR, Henry Z. Greetings my friends, I just want to share a few words and thoughts. Thank you JarEl for your words of encouragement…………It is not an easy task to bring the hard man into the light of God. It seems that on this planet it is much easier for the mountains to grind down to fine particles of sand than it is for the heart of man to become responsive to the call of God’s wish. It is not a cheerless task to come into the will of the Father. The Father does not ask that we live on the razor’s edge or walk a very narrow line. The Father is just asking that you allow him to be a part of your life, that more and more you bring God into the activity of your life, to the decision process of your life. It is this intention that seeds the Teaching Mission, not that you would fuse mortal mind and Adjuster presence necessarily as mortal mind begins to accommodate Adjuster presence. If a plant refuses to gather in the water that surrounds it, it will slowly dehydrate; become brittle from lack of nutrients, would bear no fruit and would eventually die. In time a new seed would sprout, quite possibly utilizing the compost of the former tree and yet the presence of the living God lives within each heart. Yet the human race is still in the dark and still stubbornly holds out on that which would graciously nourish it, graciously open and cause such growth. I, by no means, am a perfect being. I do not entertain a divine right and I have seen the glories of Salvington. I patiently take my watch on your world and find that more often than not I pray, by the grace of the Father, he will find a way to…………….…..You cannot force your choice. Though often through serious mishaps and experiences must man be humbled to begin seeking for the source of the……..…….. to seek for that for distant one, in a sense.

We in the spiritual realm are literally held in check by man’s indecisive nature. We would be of such great value and use to you more and more as you begin to need us, as you begin to ask for our help and as you actually begin to live as if you were taking our advice. And I know that I speak to a much greater audience than is here at present, but to those of you here present, you are a large part of your humanness. You are a part that at least acknowledges our presence, acknowledges our teaching and our influence, for that we are grateful. To call us by name certainly is an acknowledgment. Pray for the tide to rise…………Pray that mankind becomes dissatisfied with mediocrity………Search for his true nature, his true calling for this world, his purpose for breath. We know in time, in eternity, many of you, probably most of you on this world will achieve greatness. Yet, we honor this great experiment; the ability of man to lift himself out of spiritual darkness through a sincere desire to exercise faith. So continue in your journey, continue your growth, friendship. Continue forgiving yourself and continue to come to the presence which brought you here.

We in the spiritual world are waiting for you, the human race, to bring the presence of God alive in the spirit. It is not designed that we do it for you, for we cannot. It is designed that we assist in your decisions and that we make every possible attempt to give you the benefit of the doubt. There are many, many celestials here holding forth in grace and mercy for a time of higher frequencies. It is up to you to bring the presence of God to reality. Not in word, not in ritual but in love and service in daily practice and proper attention, that all may benefit, not just an issue or a country, that the whole world may benefit. Go forth and prosper.

JarEl: TR, George. Are there any concerns from the group?

Steve: I am very concerned about the President of the United States in his relentless march to war. JarEl: TR, George. I understand your concerns Steve, but do not be dismayed about the threat of war. Concern yourself only with what you can do for yourself, your life and for those that surround you. Attempt to create around you an ideal society, ideal friendships, and a macrocosm which shall continue. Your life at this moment is of the utmost importance to you and to those around you. As long as man has not fully brought God into his heart, he shall always be at war with himself. Bring to those that you love the knowledge that you hold inside of your hearts and go in peace.

Chris: I feel eaten up inside by the direction that this is taking. I fear for the soul of this country and hear that we can only deal with our own lives and one person at a time and yet I ache to make a difference on the material level as well as the spiritual level. I just don’t understand how we can shut ourselves off from what is going on in the material world. Is it wrong to attempt to make a difference in both the material and the spiritual world?

JarEl: TR, George. No, it is not wrong and you are not shutting yourself off from the material world just because you’re focusing on the spiritual aspects of your life. You are only enhancing the material world by endowing your ideas, your thoughts and your dreams onto this world. When you reach inside of your soul for spirituality you bring forth to this world the new hope; the new redemption. You cannot shut yourself off, you only become more aware and more sensitive. And you, of all people, are capable of creating great change on this world. It is those that reach deep within their souls who come out and inspire the world to change for the better. I am not here to tell you how, I am just here to tell you that you can. Does this help?

Chris: Yes it helps, it is a difficult balance, and it is very difficult to know how to make a difference in these very troubled times.

JarEl: TR, George. You have my support and those around you support you as well, as do all the Celestial Beings and Michael. You are not alone in your struggle and this world is difficult for many, I agree. But it is the most challenging world and if you succeed going through it, you shall have the victory of truly being tested and there shall be no doubt in the Universe of your whole-hearted loyalty to the True Source and Center.

Henry Z: . . . . But I know that this country was made great. Just like Jerusalem and Israel was made great one time for responsibility to carry forth the Word of God to the world. They flaunted it, just like America is flaunting it now. The writing has been on the wall, we have been forewarned. I don’t know what can be done?

Lucille: Well I think things are a little more optimistic, I understand that the polls for the President are about 50% but the polls for him going to war are down very low. They do not want him to go to war. And he is getting the message, there is a Senator that spoke before congress about God and it was amazing, it came across the e-mail the other night and he stood up for our country against going to war. I don’t think we will. How many have written to the President? I wrote a letter to him, saying that this is a great country and that we should be for peace and unity in the world. If he gets enough messages, maybe he will believe it.

. . . .

Henry Z: Do you have something to comment on JarEl.

JarEl: TR, George. Yes, I just want to thank you Henry for your honest perspective on the state of the country and on how you view the world and I want to thank all of you who contributed to this discussion as well. We should keep in mind, perhaps the country may need to fall before it rises up again or before it starts thinking in terms of bringing down its borders and starts becoming part of the whole global community. As progressive minds, we should help push forward this idea. I understand that perhaps the voices right now may not be heard by many, but if you are persistent and positive you can make a change and you can convince people that we are all equal, the whole world, not just the United States deserves life, happiness, security and love. I send you my love and I wish you good night.

All: Thank you JarEl.
