===Lesson===
    
JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. I am very glad to be among you once again. I was listening in on your conversations and I found it quite pleasant. This is the brotherhood that I try to give to you always, the interaction that you had. It was a very pleasant and peaceful interaction that all people of the world should have. It would be truly revolutionary if the leaders of your world would sit down and have a pleasant conversation. What you discovered tonight is that no matter where you came from, or your roots, you all have something in common.

Line 13: Line 13:  
You all have something that binds you together. This common ground allows you to communicate with one another, to share your lives, your memories or current events. There is not much difference between you; you all have families, jobs and mortgages. You all have children who you care for. You will find that most of the time there are more things in common then there are things which separate us. The separation only comes from different ideas, different ways of thinking, there is no real separation. It is only in the minds of individuals in which separation occurs. When you allow yourself to open up like this, you invite unity and community.

You invite your Thought Adjusters to communicate with one another which enhances your own experience. Being sociable brings many rewards. Allowing yourself to be open to conversations and interactions with your neighbors expands your own knowledge. I am very glad that you have taken the time to meet with one another. By this point you have become quite familiar with one another.

However, if a complete stranger comes into your life, would you be so willing to accept them? Would you be so willing to open your arms and allow this person to enter your lives and your community. Let's say that this stranger is not from your world but from some other part of the universe, and he looks like a spider. What would be your first reaction, what would be your attitude towards this individual? Especially if he is so different from anything that you have ever seen?

Line 26: Line 26:     
Pretty soon you live in a world of strangers where everyone you meet is a stranger and no one is trustworthy. This, frankly, is not a world in which I would like to live. So if we can change our attitudes, where we lose all fear and lose all doubts, we will open ourselves up to a deeper and spiritualized interaction. Do any of you have any questions?

Donna: JarEl, you said something about "what if we met a stranger that looked like a spider", did I hear you correctly?

JarEl: TR, George. Yes.
 
JarEl: TR, George. Yes.

Donna: Ok, but on this planet, of course where we have seen spiders as insects and they are usually poisonous or something that could be dangerous to us humans, we would be conditioned to recoil at something like that. I thought that The Urantia Book spoke of most mortals on other planets being up-right bipeds. Even though, of course there may be a lot of variation on how other mortals would look, I thought there was sort a of a pattern. Could you expound on that?

JarEl: TR, George. Yes Donna, I was illustrating an extreme type of human, in which it would be a tremendous challenge for you to accept. It would be more acceptable for you to accept another type of mortal who looks much like you, however, your first reaction to a human who looked like a spider would be fear. Donna: Correct.

Larry: We have trouble accepting all the races on this world, so what are we going to do when we get to the Mansion Worlds where there are many more different races?

JarEl: TR, George. Yes, the root cause of it is fear. Now if you learn how to do away with your fear while you are on this world, you will have a much better time on the Mansion Worlds. Are there any more questions?

Lucille: Fear is also a fear of the unknown, if we have more education would that not do away with the fear?

JarEl: TR, George. That is very true Lucille, that is why we participate in this Teaching Mission, to bring you knowledge, to enlighten you and to help you to ease away from the fear. Much of what I tell you and that you know of your life after this world has brought much peace to your heart, because you know now that you will survive and see your relatives who have gone before you. This, for most people, has done away with much fear, for they no longer fear the unknown or life after death. There is so much more to learn from the universe which is beyond these lessons. These things you will soon learn when you arrive on the Mansion Worlds. The fears that you all have and the fears that we try to do away with are very basic in their nature and they don't go beyond your mortal life. We focus on those types of fears and, quite frankly, we are doing a very good job. I know that all of you in this room no longer fear death. Are there anymore questions? Are there any other teachers who would like to speak? Like always I truly enjoyed our time together and I hope to see you next time. All: Thank you JarEl.
