JarEl: TR, George. Good evening my brothers and sisters, it is I, your teacher JarEl. It is good to see all of you here tonight. Especially those who have not been here for a while. It is the week before Christmas and many are feeling the joy in their hearts and the love that surrounds them when this time of year comes around. Many are more sensitive to people's wants and desires and many in this group are more sensitive at this time of year as well. I mentioned last week that I would like to tell you something about Christmas. Even though Michael's Birthday in The Urantia Book is celebrated on August 21st, the fact that people celebrate it on December 25th should not take anything away from their celebration. In fact it is a beautiful holiday, when people decide to really look at it, study it and break it down and figure out why we are celebrating it, a new sense of peacefulness comes within them. They discover something new; they discover Christ. For Michael it is an added bonus that he gets two birthdays instead of one. That means people are thinking about him more than once, at least in this group.

When Christmas comes to your household, I want you to celebrate Michael, I want you to celebrate his life, his legacy and the gift that he gave you. I want you to celebrate his Universe and I want you to celebrate each other. The act of gift giving symbolizes a great deal on Urantia. It is a symbol of affection and love. If you look at it at its core you begin to realize that it is a wonderful holiday. It should be a time to be celebrated; a time of family get-togethers, a time to just love one another. It should be like that all year, but of course it isn't. People's lives are too busy sometimes to join with one another, but it is good to allow the joy of the holiday to enter your heart and to love one another much greater than before.

So this Christmas I wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas. Know that my love is with all of you. My admiration goes to all of you as well. Michael is near tonight, he is very close. Feel his warmth as he enters your heart. Feel his presence as he settles down in front of you. He will be more present this holiday. In your homes when you return, take the time to acknowledge his presence in your hearts. At this moment take the time to acknowledge each and every one of you. Acknowledge the group as a whole and acknowledge the wonderfulness of everyone. Just being who you are is wonderful enough for me. I particular enjoy coming here every other Monday and interacting with you. That is a gift that you give me, that is a gift I receive every time I come here and it is a gift that far exceeds any material gift that you will receive this year. It is a gift that is tangible to me. It is a gift that I own once I receive it, I own it in my heart, one that I can wear proudly. The gift that I want to give you is my love. If you could for one moment feel my love entering your hearts, I am now sending it to you. Others may now speak.

Aflana: TR, Stella. This is Aflana speaking in place of Correlli. Correlli is still away on another assignment. We in the celestial abode wish all of you a very peaceful and joyous Christmas and let the love of Christ Michael reach from your hearts to all of those throughout the world. Your peace and love passes all understanding and yet it will go far to alleviate much of the hurt in the world today. These unfortunate wars will pass and those who are left behind will be recipients of your love. Give gratitude to our Father for all the blessings you have received and in turn pass those out to those who are needy. This is really a time for joy; a time to celebrate the greatest human who ever lived on your earth, who is and was Christ Michael, known as Jesus. He loves you, we love you, we admire you for your steadfastness in heeding the word of Christ Michael to love one another. You are indeed blessed to be in touch with our great Lord. Again we wish you the best in the coming year and we are working hard to pave the path of peace in your troubled world. We will succeed; Christ our Father has deemed it so. It will happen. So as Jesus says, be of good cheer and happy merry holidays to all of you. We love you.

Benson: TR, Steve. This is Benson speaking, to add my comments for the holiday season. Michael, this week delivered a cautionary, yet reassuring message through your friend George Barnard. Even he is aware of conditions being worse than he expected on Urantia at present. He is taking extraordinary action. Be assured that the Armies of God are on standby. They are employing techniques of near intervention that will stop short of such action. In efforts to maintain the peace during the time of the end of the first year of the twenty-first century and the beginning of what they hope to be a better second year, I would urge all of you to attempt a very simple practice during this season and to suggest such a thing to your loved ones when you are together with them at family gatherings. Suggest that they pass this on to their loved ones and to family, friends and neighbors as well. It takes only a brief time with your family members, perhaps before a meal or a family gathering. Recall the events of this year and say a prayer for peace by electing to observe a moment or two of silence when gathered together and ask in the Father's Name. We may experience inward peace, which comes from knowing the true love of the Father. This will do wonders in creating an atmosphere of tranquillity during this season. It only takes a few brief moments but the benefits will be enhanced and will be greatly beneficial. The family is the model for God's plan for the entire Universe and this is one value that must and will always persist, it is what makes us strong. It is what has and what will keep us safe. May the Father's Love bless you all during this season of reflection. That is all for now, Godspeed and peace.

JarEl: TR, George. This is JarEl. There is really not much to say after listening to Michael, therefore I do wish all of you a Merry Christmas. I send my love to all of you as well. There will be no questions tonight.
