HAL: Yes, I think so. Then I would [[interpret]] this that we are to go ahead and use our own [[ideas]] and thoughts, assuming that they are impressed upon us by our teacher or T/A and not concern ourselves as to the [[source]] of the [[concept]].

JAREL: The source of the [[impression]] in this session is myself. I have been assigned to be the teacher of this [[group]] and all are my [[responsibility]]. The source of the impression would be in my range of responsibility. This one [[described]] it perfectly when she told of a [[quote]] from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Campbell Joseph Campbell], whose quote was from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsche Nietzsche], and described that the first best things are hard or impossible to [[describe]]. The second best things are misunderstood because they are an attempt to describe the first best things. Do you see the example as it relates to your [[question]]? The second best things are the [[ability]] to describe these impression that have been impressed upon your [[mind]].

HAL: Then in my [[stillness]] this [[morning]] you were there, and I was impressed with an extensive [[discussion]] of [[love]] in [[relationships]]. This then was your impression upon me at that time. I was wondering was this same impression presented here for others, or how much of that was just my [[concept]] of what love is and should be.

HAL: I did not mean to [[interfere]] with the answer to Donna's [[question]]. I merely wanted to emphasize her point. Her [[question]] was whether her impression were from you or from her own [[thoughts]].

JAREL: It is always appropriate to remember our loved ones, and those unable to [[participate]]. The lessons are of utmost interest to this one. They are all [[transcribed]] and put into [[print]] for all to read.

DONNA: I want to bring up a question or area we had asked sometime ago. About the [[experiences]] around the world having [[visions]] and [[experiences]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Mary Virgin Mary] that other people have seen, not just one person. The children who started the shrine of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_of_Our_Lady_of_Lourdes Lourdes], and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernadette_Soubirous Bernadette], and others like the one in Yugoslavia most recently, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima Fatima]. Could you tell us how these fit into the [[Urantia book]] teachings?

JAREL: The [[consciousness]] of people will [[absorb]] the [[customs]] of that [[culture]], and [[manifestations]] of their [[faith]] will be [[demonstrated]] thru the proper expressions of the culture. The spirits seen around a [[primitive]] [[fire]] while [[worshiping]] is enacted towards spirits or deities they have chosen to represent their object of [[devotion]]. The [[apparitions]] [[perceived]] are projections of unified [[hope]] and devotion that enable the group [[consciousness]] to perceive the [[manifestation]] of their [[desires]]. I have seen many such apparitions during the many initiations of various [[cults]] and [[religions]] throughout the ages. Does this help clarify your curiosity?

JAREL: The [[dynamics]] are the same. There are those who [[believe]] this to be true and make it so thru their wishes and desires to [[document]] this belief. These are not falsely reported. They believe it is what they see.

HAL: That is interesting because we know that there is no such thing as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Mary virgin Mary] as such. So these manifestations must be the [[expression]] of group [[consciousness]]. This same thing must then be with the [[UFO]]. There possibly is no such thing, but it is a desire to contact [[outer space]] and the group consciousness has produced the [[manifestation]].
