*Do Celestials Incarnate Briefly So We Can Meet Them?

*Do Celestials Incarnate Briefly So We Can Meet Them?

STUDENT: Thank you Bertrand. I had a bad time this week and I really think I blew it bad. I had some [[good]] things. But, what I was [[wondering]] was, you know how there's this phrase "[http://www.mountainretreatorg.net/faq/entertain.html angel unaware]". Do [[universe]] [[personalities]] ever [[incarnate]] to be somebody at a garage sale? You know, who you have an encounter with, does that ever happen?

BERTRAND: No. There are plenty of [[humans]] on [[the planet]] to stand in your [[path]].

BERTRAND: No. There are plenty of [[humans]] on [[the planet]] to stand in your [[path]].

BERTRAND: Yes. Yes. It is like a wayward child. You don't not [[love]] them because they are not [[exhibiting]] the type of [[behavior]] you wish. You continue to teach them the proper way and sooner or later they will see the [[light]]. Some [[individuals]] also will profess to be non-believers in their [[consciousness]], subconsciously follow very carefully the leading of the [[Thought Adjuster]] and [[do the Father's will]] in their lives. It is an unusual situation but, it does exist. This [[person]] of whom you [[speak]] may also fall into that category.

STUDENT: I think when I spoke with him and I [[described]] my [[faith]] I think he thought of a [[belief]] in [[God]] is like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus Santa Claus]. You just [[pray]] and ask for what you want, [[material]] [[things]], and when I [[explained]] to him what you had taught us about [[praying]] and opening the spiritual [[channels]] and that we don't pray for [[things]]. That we pray for [[spirituality]] and the [[love]] and I think it gave him a lot to think about. Perhaps it gave him a new [[concept]] that he might be able to hold on to.

BERTRAND: Yes. You may very well be right. Many who find current [[religion]] to be un-fulfilling, find it thus because they feel it is somewhat childish in it's approach to life. When they begin to hear how you [[feel]], your [[religion]] [[reacts]] within you. They begin to [[understand]] that it's a much bigger [[picture]] than they originally had [[thought]] and must go back and reassess their [[concepts]] of [[faith]], of [[God]] and of [[spiritual]] [[reality]].

*The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Consciousness

*The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Consciousness

STUDENT: Bertrand, I wanted to ask you. There's a man named [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharishi_Mahesh_Yogi Maharishi Mahesh Yogi] who says that if enough people [[meditate]] it can raise the [[consciousness]] and it can improve the [[quality]] of life around the world, like in Africa where people are [[starving]], and the [[wars]]. Is that true, does our [[meditation]] help spread [[peace]] in this world, the more people that can pray?

BERTRAND: [[Prayer]] is certainly a powerful [[tool]] to move mountains. As far as some [[concept]] of many [[minds]] thinking the same thought, does not necessarily mean that that thought will become [[reality]]. What does become [[reality]] is man's [[actions]], but yes, it is important to pray. And it is very important to pray for the [[welfare]] of all [[mankind]]. Those prayers are heard on high and reacted to. So in that sense, yes, it does help. But, it also helps for each [[individual]] to make his [[home]] sphere better and if that occurs, along with [[spiritual]] help, we will definitely have a better planet.
