Prayer Henry Z: Father thank you for your presence. Thank you for the opportunities you have given us to learn and to grow. Thank you for being there when we call upon you. Thanks for your trust and your friendship. Thanks for your patience, watching us grow as human beings. Thank you especially for your guidance, though it is invariably difficult for us to always follow that guidance, we do look forward to the little voice that points the way. Thank you for allowing us to make our own mistakes and to grow by these mistakes. Thank you for creating us in this tremendous world of opportunity to serve you.

JarEl: TR, George. Good evening, it is I, your teacher, JarEl. Welcome to those who come here on a regular basis and welcome to those who are here for the first time and also those that have not been here for awhile. It is good to be back and it is good to see all of you once again. I would like to take this opportunity to expand on certain themes that have been discussed here tonight. One of these themes is the obvious imperfect nature of man and the countless mistakes that one makes during his or her lifetime. What I would like to express to you, is that it is OK to make mistakes. These are all experiences in your lives that may or may not make you stronger. It all depends on how you look at it. It all depends on what you take from it, what lesson you learn. One must be receptive and open to understand the message that is coming through. Many times these lessons are overlooked and yet again the experience is repeated, again and again. Either that, or it is projected in some other fashion, but in each experience there is a lesson to learn.

That is the same in each relationship that you experience. Every person in your life, whether it be a brief experience or a long term relationship has a purpose and a meaning for you. Nothing is by accident. It is entirely up to you to derive the meaning from that relationship. If you do not learn it from that person, you will be given another opportunity to learn the same lesson. Many times you may be disappointed with other people. Everyone seems to have high expectations from their friends or family, but these expectations only lead you to fall, for when people do not meet your expectations, you become disappointed or depressed. I am not saying to lower your expectations, but at least give it leeway. At least give it a chance, so you can say it is OK if someone does not reach your expectations, "I will forgive them". If you say that enough you will do away with much of your unhappiness and bitterness.

Line 22: Line 20:     
If you are kindhearted and good you should be set atop a hill so you may inspire others. So others may see your light and want to be like you. If you desire to be kindhearted, you must learn to forgive, you must not judge others and you must not have so many high expectations of people. The one rule that you must learn is that no one on this earth is perfect, that you are all learning, growing and evolving as human beings. One day, yes, you shall be perfect, but not now, not here. There is so much imperfection on your world that you cannot put yourself high on any horse and call yourself perfect, for then you blunder. You must forgive your brothers and sisters for being imperfect, just as you are imperfect yourself, so others should forgive you as well. Would you not like others to forgive you when you make a mistake? I know that you have made many mistakes in your life and I know many have forgiven you. That is why you must forgive others when they make mistakes. To learn to forgive is to learn to find the road to perfection.

===Dialogue===
 
Henry Z: At what point do we allow people to be human? At what point do we allow this humanness to take over? I want to hold people to a certain standard but I have to forgive them because they are human and imperfect. Does that make any sense, my question? Do I need to rephrase it?

Stella: When you were in human life, were the possibilities of mistakes on your planet as great as they are here?

JarEl: TR, George. The possibilities are always present, just because we were closer to Light and Life does not mean that I did not make many mistakes, in fact I did. I was taught on my world that mistakes were to be endured and overcome and that one must learn from them. I made many mistakes in my youth but I matured into a man by learning from these mistakes and I became closer to God. God does not frown upon you because you make mistakes. It is when you feel ashamed and have regret that you separate yourself from God. You can learn true knowledge from your mistakes, it is only through acceptance and forgiveness that you will come to understand why such a thing happened in the first place. Always give yourself the opportunity to reflect upon your mistakes and to ponder them and to examine and to come up with some sort of meaning. I promise you that you will find the answers if you look for them. Do not write off your mistakes as blunders, examine them but do not dwell on them. Acknowledge them but don’t regret them. That is all for tonight, until next time.
