Bernard de Montréal
Bernard de Montréal (1939–2003) was a Canadian author and lecturer. The author defined his teachings as Psychologie Évolutionnaire, which translates into English as Evolutionary Psychology (not to be confused with the similar term dealing with a branch of cognitive psychology that draws on the sociobiological theories of natural evolution).
The term "Evolutionary Psychology", in context of its use in Bernard de Montréal's work refers to the study of the evolution of the human psyche, that is to say the study of its return to the source of all of its dimensions and its consciousness of them. This is an ascending, individuating process leading to multidimensional reality, whereas the naïve or unconscious soul involved collectively in spiritualizing the material dimensions through its domination by a "belief system", is a descending or incarnating, collective experience, or involution, as it is termed in this new psychology.
Life and Works
Bernard de Montréal was born in Montreal, Canada on July 26, 1939. He received his early education at Collège Sainte-Croix, a Catholic classical institution. After graduation, he went on to study anthropology at the University of Albuquerque in New Mexico. While in New Mexico, Bernard de Montréal experienced a transformation that was the starting point for his exploration of the human mind through telepsychism. At this point in his life, he began conscious channeling, a practice that would open the door to his life’s work in topics that included paranormal psychology and metaphysics. In addition to three published books and his numerous conferences and seminars, he became known to Quebec audiences chiefly through esotericist and ufologist Richard Glenn's TV show Ésotérisme expérimental, beginning in 1977 according to Glenn’s own website He thereafter continued teaching and speaking in public until his death in 2003.
