Reincarnation On Trial

'Touched By An Angel'

“Touched By An Angel” television series provides dramatizations of encounters with messengers from heaven. In these peak experiences, according to the story lines, people find themselves advanced spiritually. But can a wonderful experience, of and by itself, effect real spiritual change?

All this, in principle, is well in line with the underlying thesis of “R,” that, experience, of and by itself, can evolve humanity. “Touched By An Angel” provides a useful metaphor to explore this proposition.

I would invite you to review the following two articles; as you do, compare the ensuing information with the underlying teachings of "R" regarding the power of experience to effect authentic change for human beings.

 

 

 

Part I: Touched By An Angel presents 200+ dramatizations of earthly mortals profoundly changed by encounter with a messenger from God. Can we advance spiritually simply by meeting a representative from heaven? If this could be the case, why doesn’t God heal everyone on planet Earth by sending millions of angels so that each one of us might enjoy personal and direct evidence of divinity?

Part II: If an angel sent from God were to bear tidings of a single most important precept, what would be communicated? Touched By An Angel, in its many episodes, suggests that what's most vital to know is 'God loves you' – certainly this is a true statement, but is there something else, even more fundamental, which might effect real change?
