Vicki:  Okay.  So now that we’ve created this “mess,” how do we clean it up?  What can we do now to help those [[individuals]] who may be lacking in that early day-to-day [[spiritual]] [[experience]]?

MONJORONSON:  For those of you who do [[know]] [[God]], and who live with the [[expression]] of God in your life, you are [[encouraged]] to [[pray]] for the spiritual [[awakening]] of individuals around you, at [[home]], at [[work]], at [[play]], your social [[friends]], those across the continents or across the oceans, pray for their spiritual [[awakening]].  You truly have a very, very powerful affect upon this awakening of individuals, most of whom you will never meet.  You can have an awakening effect upon individuals, who you do know, without approaching them about a [[discussion]] about [[God]].  Many people in this [[generation]] are offended by someone asking them about their [[commitment]] to [[God]].  A gentle way of opening this and either engaging or letting it drop is to ask a person if they have a [[spiritual]] [[practice]] in their life, and this can oftentimes query a chain [[reaction]] of [[curiosity]] in the [[individual]] of [[unknown]] [[proportions]] to the one who asked the question.  It is a way of engaging the [[conscious]] [[mind]] to be [[curious]] about the question and perhaps an answer.

Oftentimes this gentle approach is sufficient for [[Thought Adjusters]] and [[midwayers]] to begin tickling the “curiosity button” of the individual in ways which only become known to the individual years or decades later.  Oftentimes, those of you who [[pray]] for others want to see and hear about positive results promptly, but in the spiritual [[unfoldment]] of the [[individual]] sometimes it only comes within the [[Life Extension|last years]] of a [[person]]’s life.  It is most unfortunate when you see an individual who has never come to be curious about [[God]] to then enter in their elder years into mental [[states]] of [[confusion]], so that they no longer have the mental capacity to [[cognitively]] engage the question in a constructive [[manner]].  The times of [[Conundrum|quandary]] of an individual are those when a person passes through the decades of their life, those momentous birthdays where they [[wonder]] about their [[mortality]] and the continuance of their life, and the [[meaning]] and [[purpose]] of their life.  Yes, you can have a powerful [[effect]], and you do not need to become socially offensive or [[abusive]] to engage people in a positive way, that will provide results in the [[future]].  Thank you.

Vicki:  I have a question about [[baptism]].  Among our many [[cultures]] there are different [[rituals]] of baptism, and much [[diversity]] in the age at which one is baptized.  I’m [[wondering]] about the whole ritual about baptism, which of course we know that [[Jesus]] engaged in within his adulthood, and I’m wondering how does this relate to a more spiritually advanced culture?  Is there a similar [[practice]] that takes place?
