Prayer by Larry: Dear Father, thank you for this day and we love you very much Father. We pray for peace in the world, we pray for a healing of this earth and its people. We pray that we may be lights that help direct our brothers and sisters to the time of Light and Life when all men and women know that they are children of God; that we are all spiritual brothers and sisters. We look forward to that day Father, in Christ Michael’s name, amen.

JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher JarEl. It is good to be among you once again and it is good to see all of the familiar faces in this room. I welcome back the TR, as I welcome all of you. Although it has only been two weeks since I last spoke to you, it may seem like it has been a long time, for in the span of two weeks many things can happen; many things can change and many things can be learned. You will be surprised how many changes can be made within a period of weeks or days. But as in all things change usually comes swiftly and suddenly. Albeit change is sometimes gradual and consistent, a dramatic and revolutionary change happens within a second. I point this out because I would like to make you aware of the time that you have on this earth; the time that is granted to you so that you may bring about change in your own life and in the lives of others.

===Lesson===
 
You can easily bring about change into another person’s life simply by smiling at them or by being kind. See how quickly a person’s frown changes into a smile when you offer them your smile, that my friends, is simple. It is easy to bring about change into your own life as well. When you think of God and how much he cares about you and how much he loves you, the change comes immediately to your heart. For you cannot hold back the flood of love that God pours out towards you. It would be like trying to dam up the ocean. Whenever you feel hurt or angry, think of the love that he has for you and also think of the love that he has for all of your brothers and sisters, truly contemplate this notion. If you truly, deeply sit in silence and think about this, then your troubles shall find their answers. Your path will be clear and straight. You will know what to do from then on, for he will guide you on whatever question you may put forth. If you would but trust his wisdom and guidance, your life would be that much better.

I ask you this: why do you revert back to childish attitudes, when you should be representatives of a quality of life which should endure on Urantia? How else are you supposed to educate the generation of tomorrow if you yourself cannot be an example for them to look up to. It is not enough to read The Urantia Book papers, you must live them and set an example for others to follow. Live as if you were living among your fellow Morontia brethren. Live within their code not the code of the Urantians. Follow a higher way of living. Adjust your ethics and morals to that of the Morontia Realm. Bring Light and Life to Urantia. The only way it shall be brought is through your hearts. We cannot import Light and Life for you, you must grow it and raise it within your life. Only by example and actions shall this new world arrive. With your help and the help of others, you shall bring forth this new age. Are there any questions here tonight?

===Dialogue===
 
Stella: Yes, I have a question. What form should forgiveness take? It is relatively easy to forgive personal slights, but should one forgive murder, rape, genocide, exploitation of people, how do you handle something like that? Jesus threw the moneychangers out of the Temple, he did not just passively forgive them, he did something. So how are we to respond to the things happening in the world today?

===Closing===
 
JarEl: TR, George. Thank you Stella. It is only through the Father that I acquire my wisdom. I am only a conduit to the greater source of truth behind the love and the energy that surrounds us all. It is understanding this energy which brings me closer to God and to all of you in this room. Understand the love that surrounds you and you will understand your fellow man. Forgive and you will come into greater understanding. Love and your understanding will be complete. That is all for tonight, thank you, until next time.
