JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. It is good to be among my friends again, it is good to see all of you. Welcome those who are here for the first time. It is not so strange that I am speaking to you, in fact it is very common. All over the world there are teachers who bring you similar messages. You are experiencing a transition period in which your world is correcting itself, adjusting to the new frequency which will enable it to come into the Age of Light and Life. New souls are awakening to the fact that we are all connected, we are all brothers and sisters here. We all journey to the same destiny and that destiny lies in the heart of God. Until we fully realize our potential we constantly struggle with challenges and adversities. These challenges and adversities are placed in your path so that you may learn and grow. The current challenge in your world is the elimination of war and the establishing of the brotherhood of man.

===Lesson===
We are not much different from one another. On my world we had similar struggles. We grew and adjusted to the Age of Light and Life. Now my world is well established in the Age of Light and Life but it took many years and many struggles for us to finally realize who we were meant to be. Your world still needs to come into the realization of who you are meant to be. You are at the very edge of discovering this and when it finally comes to pass the people of your planet will finally accept one another and wonder why it took them so long. Never again will they want to resort to the violent ways of the past. Violence comes from not knowing, from being afraid, from attacking that which one fears.

We do not ask too much of you. We only ask what you can give. Never are the problems of the world laid on any of your shoulders, it is a shared problem that all of you have. Only working together with one another can you find real solutions for the world’s problems.

Are there any questions?

(This meeting when on for another hour of sharing and learning from each other how to share The Urantia Book. It was a great pleasure for all of us to share the love we each had for The Urantia Book with our friends and spiritual brothers and sisters from Africa and to hear of their love for it and the truths contained therein.)

Guests: Chita Nonde and Namukale Kitawanda, students & Urantia Book readers from Zambia.
Professor Moussa N’Diaye, French speaking Moslem, Teacher & Urantia Book reader from Senegal.
Jean Pierre Houtier, from Texas who came to translate Moussa’s lessons into English at a class that
Moussa gave on Saturday and Sunday.
Chita Nonde and Namukale Kaliwanda.
These are young people from Zambia. Chita, a male, is 29 years old and has begun a Urantia Book study group in his country. He works and is also a part time student. He introduced Namukale, a female, 22 years old, and a fulltime student to the book. Now she attends his group regularly and they have become good friends. Chita found the book in the library in Zambia. He is not absolutely sure, but maybe it was even a book that our favorite missionary Norman Ingram placed there.
Larry and I first met this charming couple in Barcelona at the Parliament of World Religions in 2004. They also most recently attended the IC05 Conference at Villanova University in Philadelphia. After the conference we brought them home and we hosted them for a few days until other UBLA members took them over and they eventually went to Chicago and then flew home to Zambia. In appearance they are very young-looking, dark-skinned and their spirits are very spritely. Both speak good English as that is the language of their country and they are sweet, humble and enthusiastic about the Urantia Book and its potential to change the world. What a pleasure it was to get to know them better.
They were, therefore, also brought to Lucille Kettell’s home in Arcadia on Aug. 6th and 7th to hear Moussa’s talks and again to her home on Aug. 8th for our regular Teaching Mission group. That is how they came to be in attendance that evening for the group.
Professor Moussa N’Diaye
Now about Moussa….his full name is Professor Moussa N’Diaye and he is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Dakar in Senegal. He is a French-speaking Moslem man whom Norman had also met prior on one of his many missionary travels. Norman was so surprised when he first met him to find this black Moslem man in Senegal, who was also a professor at the university there, teaching Urantia Book concepts to a large group of students.
Norman was impressed by the man’s intelligence and his demeanor, his sincere spirit and his wonderful work and has since tried to introduce him to the ‘rest of the world’. We had also first met Moussa in Barcelona at the Parliament of World Religions in 2004 and, likewise, he was at the Villanova conference. Norman had arranged to have Moussa speak for a couple of days (with the help of a French translator) at Lucille’s in August. So, after the conference, Norman and Stella hosted Moussa at their home and then brought him to Lucille’s for his two days of teaching (so we all could have a sampling of his work) and also, again, to the Teaching Mission group on Aug. 8th.
In appearance Moussa, age 75, is stately and elegant. He always wears a full-length white cotton gown (which I gather is the common dress for men in Senegal) and he makes a good impression. His wife died last years and he has four grown sons who are busy in their various professions.
It is perhaps worth noting that although Moussa had studied the Urantia Book thoroughly for many years, he had not really experienced a Teaching Mission group. Nevertheless, he politely sat through the whole evening and said he could find nothing wrong or inconsistent with truth from JarEl’s words.
