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.

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.

===Dialogue===
 
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.

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.
