A viewer asks: “Years ago I challenged myself to fast for 10 days. During this fast I was offered food repeatedly from people who didn’t know I was trying to fast, including a teller at the bank. Was this some sort of test of my resolve? If so, what force arranged this test, and for what purpose?”

Interestingly, this experience was an encounter with attempted manipulation by the interlopers. They do such things for many reasons as they are wanting to trip people up and limit their progress, and take delight in having control over mere humans. While some things are done simply out of their ego and savage nature, they are also in earnest in wanting to limit spiritual leanings in progress, because they have learned that it gives people encouragement, and somehow, this empowers their consciousness to resist the work of the interlopers. So it is routine for them to be on the lookout for people who are spiritual seekers and work to impair their progress.
