Are there [[questions]] that you would ask of me tonight? I would like to depart from our [[normal]] lesson plan, as you have taught a fine lesson earlier. So, I see no need to expound upon that which you have [[shared]] so openly and willingly with one another and ourselves. You see, we are [[Teachers]], and I believe good teachers know when a lesson has been imparted. It matters not that it did not come directly from myself or others. It gives us great [[joy]] to see and [[witness]] how each of you has [[developed]] and has set about to solve questions that you have amongst yourselves. Your answers may not always be, as you say "right on the money", but they are close enough to affect [[spiritual growth]]. So, it is often that I will say " I could not have said it better". So again, continue as you are, freely [[sharing]] and allow each one to contribute his [[thoughts]], [[feelings]], [[knowledge]] and [[wisdom]], on the various subjects. Let us proceed!

Joe: I wanted to ask for [[clarification]]. In last [[1993-08-29-Service|Sunday's lesson]] when you provided for a break or for a moment to [[receive]] and [[feel]] [[the Father]]'s [[love]]; subsequent to that you indicated that you were somewhat [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1993-08-29-Service#Presence sad on your side] to see how little of [[the Father]]'s [[love]] that we were able to [[receive]] or [[perceive]]. I am wondering is that because we are in this particular world? or is it something that will come with our [[spiritual growth]] and progress? That as we [[progress]] we will be able to [[perceive]] [[the Father]]'s [[love]] more and more?

JarEl: Yes, you are correct in some areas. Let me go back for a [[moment]]. The [[sadness]] I [[spoke]] of was not a sadness of [[heart]] so much as it was the [[recognition]] of sadness we felt because of you [[mortals]] inability to receive a full measure of His [[love]]. We are glad, and we [[rejoice]] at the [[fact]] that you can receive a small portion of His [[love]]. We just wish that you could receive the full measure. We also [[understand]] that in order for you to receive, [[comprehend]] and [[experience]] the full measure of His love, you must evolve to that spiritual level. But the [[degree]] and amount of His love as it is [[representative]] in your [[experience]], is still overwhelming to you. It leaves you [[weak]] and in [[awe]] of His [[majesty]]. So, it is as the child. The [[babe]] cannot consume the meat. It must consume a soft nourishment, and it is nourishment still. But the day comes that he will have [[developed]] and acquired the [[necessary]] teeth to consume meat. So it is with you. His [[love]] and your development is small, but [[satisfying]]. Later you will develop more, and you will [[receive]] those [[tools]] that are [[necessary]] to open yourselves to the full measure of His [[love]]. Does this help you?

Betty: JarEl, I would like to ask you about [[euthanasia]]. There are many people that are dying of [[Aids]]. And Deborah asked me to ask you about whether or not this was [[acceptable]]. That they take their own lives.?

JarEl: Ah! The dreaded [[disease]]. The dreaded consequence of this disease. Dear one, I will try to [[enlighten]] you on this subject. You must keep in [[mind]] that [[freewill]] reigns. Freewill choices may not be [[violated]] by us. Your will and the [[exercise]] thereof, is [[supreme]]. It is sad to view the destruction of the mortal [[body]]. We feel great [[love]] and [[compassion]] for those who are afflicted with this [[disease]]. But we view it as what it is a disease; a sickness; an illness that has devastating consequences. If you view it equally as your other diseases, such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer cancer], crippling diseases as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio polio], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_palsy cerebral palsy] , [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's_disease Alzheimer's] and the like, you should be able to put the issue in some [[perspective]].

It is never pleasant to view the end of life under these [[horrendous]] circumstances, but the [[choice]] of [[existence]] or nonexistence lies with the [[individual]]. A right or wrong of this issue cannot be addressed by us. The [[moral]] [[decision]] lies within the [[mortal]] [[creature]]. His morality is the deciding [[factor]], but rest assured that the process of reassembling is the same for the [[victim]] of cancer, the victim of unforeseen [[accidents]]; and the victim of the dreaded [[Aids]]. Reassemble on the [[mansion worlds]] will take place the same.
