Descending Souls & Belief

Do you ever ask yourself the question as to why you are living here on earth? From my understanding desire is the motivator. The desire is to personally experience energy from the highest vibration to the lowest. What you believe, imagine, expect will eventually become reality. Every one's energy and intent differs, thus realities differ. Two souls cannot really be compared. You are not who you think you are. Nothing is as you have been conditioned to believe. There is neither a Father-Mother God figure who judges you as movies sometime portray nor is there a karmic board who decides your future. Your consciousness determines your future. Belief systems and your thoughts and actions create current and future events.

You have a will. When individual will is surrendered or merged with the will of God, the Light of the Universe, wisdom and unconditional love, everything takes on a different vibration. Harmony is created because outlook will expand and mind ascend above the differences and distinctions, which divide human beings from the truth of their inherent nature. Spirit and emanation of light is that nature. Keenly observe life and live it from an expanded heart and a mind free of limitations. A good beginning is to assume you know nothing.

Souls project into matter not because they are bad. Desire to experience matter, the five and sixth senses and to renew attachments is a major reason for life in matter. There are souls who desire to heal the past and create a future where they can eventually experience a 'heaven' consciousness while in a physical body. When the desire is satiated, it may choose never to return to matter as we know it. Elevated and awakened souls experience Light and Celestial visions while entrapped in matter. It is their conscious and visual link to the higher vibrations of Light that sustain them more than physical desire. It is a personal intimacy with the Divine that embraces love, providing the wisdom and strength required as they watch entrapped souls filled with despair all around them.

Belief & Manifestation

Once you thoroughly grasp the truth that each soul is creating his/her own reality, you will have a better understanding of life. Anything and everything is possible. What is your truth is dependent on individual soul evolution, current mindset and whether an intimacy with the Source has been developed. What is true for one is not necessarily true for another. As an example, if you are locked into a belief system that claims you must be punished for wrong thinking and wrong doing, you will experience that belief system. Whatever you believe manifests at some point in your journey. You will definitely manifest a scenario that will give you the effects of suffering and limitation if that is what you expect. The only one judging you is you.

There is actually no karma from the celestial point of view. It is your judgment of self, a mind energy determination, that decides what happens next. Souls will experience an afterlife that mimics human life if that is the belief system. Punishment is self-inflicted although it may appear otherwise. You are like a magnet. Your subconscious governs your life. The programming of the subconscious is the creator. For the most part, it over rules the conscious belief system. Appearances are determined by how securely you are locked into the box of infinite limitation.

If you feel guilty, you will program a future whereby a punishment drama takes over. Perhaps, a desire for intense passion drives you to do harmful acts or things that you regret later on. Within all the disorder is order...the spark of God. In many ways, creation is a cosmic joke. From another view it is an enormous experimental energy laboratory. A third view sees life as matter as a glorious and magnificent means to create with the mind anything that is imaginable.

Guides & Consciousness

There are invisible guides who will help us work towards the Good. When we have developed pure intent and desire to serve from both the heart and mind, we will attract beings of like-mind. They communicate through intuitive impulses, inspirational thoughts, words and writing. The information given will assist, encourage, enlighten and heal. There is a spirit of co-operation and acknowledgment as a direct result of our sense of worthiness, attempts at self-mastery and love for the Light. The relationship eventually become one of equality and purity in purpose. Luminous beings acknowledge that Divine growth comes through firsthand experience. In a pinch, so to speak, they will come through and assist you. For the most part, you are left to do your own deep thinking and choices. Choices determine the future. This explanation is focused on luminous beings who have already achieved self-mastery.

There are also guides for the unenlightened who have their heart and mind in the right place. This means that beings are willing to help in a time of need but will also encourage their 'charges' to do their own thinking and choosing.
There are dimensions and degrees of consciousness in the invisible vibratory planes as there are here on earth. Contact is made according to consciousness. This is why it is imperative to cleanse yourself of hindrances, fears,false conditioning and erroneous belief systems. We attract what we are in consciousness. This is why there is such a wide variance in subtle world experiences.

Accept your spirit identity. Live the true identity moment by moment. Discover what you are still hanging on to inside the box. Meditate and ask for pure guidance. Contact with the more subtle worlds of Light is more powerful when you have achieved a good measure of self-mastery. If not or you lack discernment, you can be easily deluded. If you harbor any fear or are gullible, you will attract undesirables. The goal is to reach higher to the brighter Light. The more focused you are regarding your own true spirit identity and asking to experience the Light, the more natural it is for you to open to other realities in the subtle realms. Forcing the issue will cause deception and perhaps harm to your mind, emotions and physical body. Genuine gifts of the spirit come naturally when you are prepared in consciousness.

Invisible Guides & Manipulation

Your true identity is Spirit-Light-Intelligence projected into the matter, emotions and mind that you think of as your self. This is your everyday baggage that you carry around in a state of waking consciousness. Spirit is trapped in space-time. This is the great sacrifice talked about in ancient teachings. This is how a physical world is made manifest. God had to become a part of it. In the meantime,the individual projections of the One Mind forgot its origin. All contracts are of the lesser nature,the lower part of the mind and can be changed, dissolved, enhanced and enlivened.

By now, you probably have a good idea as to some of the consequences that can happen if you totally rely on outside influences which include guides of the invisible worlds. Very few people appear to use discernment regarding the influences they receive. Is it possible to really know the intent of a so-called guide? Did Krishna, Buddha or Jesus ever suggest you depend on an outside source for information? Instead of relying on an entity that could actually through its energy dim the light that you are, why not simply surrender control of your ego? One definition of surrender is to let go of fixed and erroneous belief systems to the strength, power, love and beauty of the higher eternal Self.

Why not expand the energy of your innermost being? The being within can be trusted. There are invisible and visible guides outside of your inner Teacher who can actually be manipulators, control freaks because they have their own agenda. Many humans function from the subconscious-emotional part of the mind and are gullible, lack discernment and blindly trust and play along with the robotic game of being a non-thinker. If guides do not have pure intent, they can pull you in by telling you wonderful and glorious things about yourself. Once they have you under their control, falsity will likely seep into any guidance offered. You attract both in the invisible and visible planes of existence according to personal soul evolution, current state of thinking and your ability to master your emotions.

Fear and Hate

Psychology plays a very persuasive part in our life. For an example, if a psychic told your child that as an adult his business would fail and his life would end prematurely, how would you feel regarding the message? What if he never told you about the suggestion until it was almost too late? This is manipulation or voodoo in my way of thinking. The words remain and haunt the target. Because fear is planted, a thought form is created that can actually come to pass. This is a form of malpractice. It is time everyone be responsible and exercise soul damage control. Don't make a habit of looking outside yourself for answers of the soul. Your mind is a projection of the Supreme Mind. Use it.

Stop believing whatever you read or are told. Develop discernment, be a deep thinker and be able to tell the difference as to what is true and what is not true.
Nothing is set in stone. There are infinite possibilities and probabilities. Choices and belief system create your future.

Hate, fear, greed and all the other emotions that are opposite of love, light, wisdom and beauty create future challenging experiences. These experiences can be altered and neutralized when the mind and soul awakens to the truth of its real identity as light and spirit. The individual soul, the jiva, is not really the authentic you. Knowledge, understanding, compassion and love can wipe clean all the confusion and nonsense of a soul who is separated from its true identity. At that moment, the soul (jiva) wakes up to itself as spirit (Siva) realizing that it has been that presence all the time.

Opinion-Psychic Readings

Psychics can be right on target regarding physical and material happenings this lifetime because they read your current aura. Some of their readings may connect and be influenced by entities in the subtle realms, primarily the lower astral dimensions. When it comes to a past lifetime of a client or the evolution of a particular soul, I would not trust what the psychic claims as your past identity. As an example, there are altogether too many Cleopatra's, Nefertiti's, Mary Magdalene's and disciples of Jesus out there. The average person would love to hear that they were someone special in the past particularly if his or her life is ordinary right now. What is received either by you or a psychic is determined by many factors such as consciousness, desires, belief systems, conditioning, current state of mind and emotional stability.

How do you validate the information being given to you? For a psychic to correctly read a soul, he/she must have a highly developed consciousness that transcends the 6th sense. Some of them are very good at reading the current energy that you are carrying around as baggage but when it comes to soul development, forget it. Unless one is highly evolved, the soul evolution of another or one's self cannot be read. Astrology, tarot and other tools will tell you about tendencies, influences, probabilities and the personality but, it is the rare reader who can reveal consciousness or the truth about past life experiences. There is but One Mind and what is tapped into may be someone else's experience and not physically yours.

If you accept what a psychic tells you, you may become locked into the suggestion or statement given to you. It can be similar to a voodoo doll experience. A suggestion is planted in the mind and emotions that can actually destroy you if you take the information seriously. There is a tremendous difference between a psychic and an enlightened being. The psychics typical focus is on the lower nature, the personality and physical body. Your responsibility as an evolving soul is to learn discernment, think for yourself and understand that the entities on the other side may have mischief in mind. Yes, there are altogether too many earthbound souls who will try and dampen the heart and mind of a human. What better way is there to bring darkness into the mind and emotions than through false information being projected into consciousness.

My Opinion on Channeling

Since you are taking the time to read my blog, I am asking you to step out of the box as I offer my opinions on various subjects. The opinions are usually founded on firsthand experience. Instead of going down the rabbit hole, we will time travel through a wormhole faster than Light. The law of Physics may require you to do this to more fully understand who you really are. Imagination, belief systems, desires create parallel universes. This is a scientific law that each one of us exists in multiple places simultaneously. It just so happens that where we are consciously right now is the reality that manifested. It does not mean that the other possibilities do not exist. You can deliberately change your reality with imagination, passion, determination, understanding and focus. It is all about demanding truth.

My first opinion has to do with the subject of channeling. Channeled material can easily stagnate the soul. Metaphysics as practiced in the last 25 years or more has in many ways has worked to retard soul progression more than to help it. The world consists mainly of robots. I was almost killed by a so-called ego with powers when I was in my early 20's. Firsthand experience with a demonic force coming through a power hungry personality vividly showed me what I would be up against the rest of my life. Metaphysics as it has been expressed for 3 decades has brought a glimmer of hope to some souls and at the same time darkness and confusion. The whole idea of channeling entities from the other side as your primary means of soul education defeats the purpose of soul evolution in the majority of cases.

The purpose for our being in the flesh is to bring spirit into form. The safest and surest method is firsthand experience with the Divine. You may argue that having firsthand experience with an invisible entity answers your desire for quick answers and truths about your self. This only holds true if you attract to you an astral being or higher who has pure intent and a large dose of self-mastery.
An entity on the 'other side' can tell you anything it wants and you have no way to really prove it. Perhaps, on a psychic-earth level but rarely on a spirit or celestial level. The invisible entities who are close to self mastery or have reached it usually understand and teach that you must achieve your own soul progression through devotion, discipline, discernment and steadfastness. The highly evolved ones encourage humans to wake up and make a solid commitment to growth through self-mastery. If you follow the path of asking an entity for solutions, you give the entity control and it is very unlikely that you will gain self-mastery choosing that particular path. At the same time, you will be ignoring your own inner Teacher who waits patiently for you to love and connect with it.

Healing

We are living in a period of history where there is an awakening activity on all levels of healing. The emphasis, however, has been focused on alternative healing of the physical body rather than the inner healing of the soul. Although we need understanding of wholeness on every level, it is important to realize that true health is a healthy soul. A major tool in understanding how to attain a healthy soul is to remove inner hindrances, conditions and false judgments on who we are and why we are in physical form.

When we heal ourselves inwardly, balance manifests outwardly. It is then that we can live joyfully and be of service to others helping them also to be restored to a health that is spiritual, mental and physical. The word health is from the Anglo-Saxon word "whole", "hale" and "well". Health is the original condition of the mind and soul but it has been damaged through false identification. Health is the very essence of our being. It is universal and can be as enduring as our spirit.

If you have found your inner spirit, you have found the source of health, purity, freedom, beauty, love and wisdom. You have rediscovered your real Self. The degree of your health is determined by belief system, thoughts both past and present. It is also determined by genetics and habits. It is necessary to look at the whole person, body, mind and soul. When the whole is addressed, we can transcend falsity and emotional traps and correctly interpret the truth principles that govern the inner life.

Angels & Faith

I believe that the current interest in angels is part of an on-going effort of people to find peace. It is one of many ways the Invisible Hand of the Divine guides us. When we are in a state of mind to receive help in any form, we receive from the Divine an experience of the connectedness between the physical and spiritual worlds. We can also be touched through very high and subtle levels of interaction from celestial beings in vision, dreams and in some cases, out of the body experiences.

This can be a distraction if it becomes your focus. Meaning, we can become caught up in the pleasure or the flattery. Although the experiences give us hope and make us feel like we are loved, I suggest that you do not indulge in experiences with celestial beings. I say this because our purpose in the flesh is soul progression and to develop a will for perfection. Perfection in my way of thinking becomes a reality when we merge the Higher Nature with the lower nature. The Higher Nature becomes the power in control. It is not visions and occult experiences that we must cultivate. If we become attached to admiration of the invisible life, we might become complacent regarding our own spiritual growth.

At the same time, pay attention and notice your dreams or premonitions. Do you hear voices giving you words of encouragement or perhaps feel or sense an invisible support around you? Believe in these experiences. Celestial help exists all around us. By accepting this fact and opening our spiritual senses we can become aware of them. One purpose they serve is to remove the scales from our eyes. Simultaneously, it is prudent to develop discrimination and reach a place in mind where we understand what is important in our development and what is a distraction along the way. The supernatural is fascinating, but our own developed love for God and Faith is what matters. Even in difficult situations, depend on your Faith in the Lord to do what's best.

Angels & Exorcisms

I have found that at different times in my life, the unexpected has appeared in the form of entity attachments. The individual being attacked or misguided sometimes isn't even aware that it another entity influencing his or her decisions and behavior. When the situation reaches the point of almost no return, I have been called upon to help.

Of course, I turn around and call on celestial help. The sad part of this process is that all entity attachments are not removed. I knew a woman who was controlled by a very negative invisible entity. At first, she was willing to accept help. A recording was even made at a hypnotherapist session to prove to her that there was a male earthbound soul who had evil designs on her. The woman came to me to have it removed. I could feel and hear him but when it came close to his being removed from her force fields and taken away she stopped the process. She wanted him in her energy field. She wanted his company for her own twisted reasons.

I have asked the assistance of angels to remove a very dark intelligence from the hip of a friend. The entity mocked me and the subject of love and light claiming he knew nothing about either one. He was successfully removed because the patient wanted him gone. Interestingly enough, the hip healed instantly. The dark entity said he would return if the man would become depressed and negative himself. The angels took the lost soul to a brighter place. Having free will does not mean that he will remain there, particularly, after the statement he made to me about the possibility of his return.

Another case was a young woman who looked like she could be on her death bed. When my friend brought her carefully into my home, I smelled death. I was concerned that
she would die right then and there. I called the angels. They helped me understand that the patients deceased sister, of all people, wanted the sister to join her on the other side. The angels suggested what I would need to say and do and fortunately the sister was removed and brought to the Light accompanied by the angels. Once the deceased entities energy was removed from the frail and ill sister, her strength gradually returned to health.

A great deal of manipulation is used against humans because the earthbound entities on the 'other side' have an advantage point as far as what they can observe both here in the physical world of matter and on their level of vibration. This is one of the primary reasons I never gravitate towards people who channel personalities from other realms. Most people on earth lack discernment and are very gullible accepting whatever nonsense that is given to them as absolute truth.

Angels & Exorcisms

Two movements are occurring simultaneously on earth. There is a rise in greed, violence, hate and fear and a gentle rise in authentic spirituality. For those of us who look to God, Light and ascension we have the angels as helpers, messengers and healers. There are souls, particular ones who have experienced sudden death or lacked spiritual knowledge and in some cases lacked faith prior to physical death who choose to linger near earth and familiar people. Many feel they have unfinished business and actually desire to finish it. There are also souls do not realize that the physical body is gone. Strange as it may seem, there are intelligences in the invisible realms who have never experienced love. The unending mixtures of possibilities here on earth exist in the invisible planes.

I have met souls with the above consciousness and disconnection with the higher Reality. They can be so attached to a geographical area that they refuse to leave even though a physical body is nonexistent. I remember an event that I was offering in Wisconsin. The history of the area indicated that Indians had at one time lived on the grounds. Being sensitive, I kept picking up their energy. It was so unsettling that I did not offer the workshop that I had planned. I did something entirely different and shorter. When finished my friend, who is very clairvoyant and could see Indians everywhere on the grounds, and I decided to conduct a ceremony releasing the souls from the earth.

The angels were called and participated in the ceremony. At the completion of the ceremony, the angels lovingly took the Indians to Higher ground, so to speak. I had a distinct feeling that they would find their way back to this area of earth that was obviously special to them. Afterwards, I thought deeply about what we had done. Perhaps, the physical area was to Indian souls the happy hunting grounds. Had we interfered with their choice? I pacified my feelings by recognizing that the angels would know what is best for a soul. Yes, we are meant to move on and not stagnate but, the question still remained. They were doing no harm to others. If God does not judge, would celestial beings eventually come and release them from their attraction to a specific area on earth? Hopefully, the Indians would at some point of awakening awareness realize that the purpose of having a soul is to progress and return to our real Home, the Home of all souls... the Father-Mother God.

Angels & Departures

I have called on the angels to help with the healing and releasing of earthbound souls to the Light. I remember when a friend called me regarding an entity that
was bothering a neighbor. The entity in this case was an earthbound soul who seemed to prefer the neighbor's basement. The current owner's dog was well aware of the 'ghost' presence. When I went over to his house, we immediately descended to the basement as a group, the owner, his dog, my friend and my self.

Before I left for the house, I felt prompted to bring my cassette player and a tape with a Catholic chant, candles and incense. My feelings proved correct once the music began and I walked throughout the entire area. I was picking up a male entity who was the previous owner of the house. He had committed suicide. He was remaining close to the house because he felt deprived of a proper memorial service. Once I knew what he wanted, I proceeded to offer him the love and compassion that his soul
had asked for. The 'service' that I did for him obviously satisfied his feeling nature. At the beginning of the service, the angels were called. They always come when asked for. Once I was finished, the soul willingly went with the angels to the Light. It was very interesting to observe the owner's dog. We watched the dog turn his head and follow the angels and the soul's departure.

Another friend's husband committed suicide. She came to my home and we called on her departed husband. I asked him to turn on the kitchen light switch if he were present. This was for the benefit of his wife. Once he turned the overhead light on, I called the angels to help his soul leave and go to the Light. His wife and I with the help of the angels first conducted a healing service for the husband. When we were finished and everything was readied for his departure, the power and love of the angels was so amazingly good and beautiful I thought for a moment that his wife who looked like she was in a state of bliss was going to leave with them as well.

More thoughts on angels...

Meditation is a process by which we try to free our minds of words and concepts so that we can listen with all of our attention to inspired thought. Sometimes, it is our higher Self speaking to us. Other times, inspiration and guidance may be a direct link to an angel. Meditation assists us in emptying our ego in order to be filled with God's Presence. Offering devotion to our Father-Mother God is one way of acknowledging our relationship with the Divine. Love fills us with Light. The Light reveals the darkness both blessing and healing that which needs to be touched.

I suggest you not only praise and appreciate the Divine within but also love and be grateful towards the angels who are always ready to act on our behalf. When we appreciate the Divine, it raises consciousness. Praise, adoration and thanksgiving are a form of prayer. Our willingness to thank the One Power is a barometer of how much healing has been actually accomplished. Angels remind me of how blessed we really are. They work to counteract the negativity around us, saving us from harm and unnecessary pain. For instance, one day my young son came home from school with an injured ankle. An accident in the playground left him limping. The two of us sat together in front of an old fashioned u-shaped dresser that included a full length mirror in the center of it. I put my hand on his ankle and asked for a healing.
Simultaneously, we saw an enormous angel in the mirror. We were so startled that we actually jumped. As soon as we saw the angel, the pain left the ankle. It was healed.

Angels play a large role in my life. Recently, I wrote a book,'Be-Embracing the Mystery'. Both angel and healing stories are found throughout the book. Our physical bodies can be compared to space suits. The angels help us when the bodies need repair or when the space suit breaks down beyond repair, which we call dying. The separation of our soul and body is watched over most carefully by angels.

Angels, Forgiveness & Healing

Angels are associated with healing. Their knowledge is pure, wise and comforting. Of course, they are not subject to sickness or injury. Their helpfulness is untiring. The basis of all healing is forgiveness. Letting go of the wounds people inflict on us is part of the process. Forgiveness also includes the wounds we inflict on others, which more than likely will haunt if left unattended. Whenever there is a need for healing, there is a need for forgiveness. Forgiveness is the angelic road to healing. We came from the Light, which is love, wisdom and unity. While on earth, we ignorantly create too much disorder and pain. Many people accept the unbalanced way of living as normal. Angels find this form of moral and spiritual ignorance intolerable. Angels are ready to work with receptive souls when they stop displaying resistance and judgments. They often arrive on the scene so we may have a glimpse of a finer existence, which freely uses spiritual medicine.

Perhaps, you have had an angel experience and simply did not recognize it as one. A very special friend of mine, Dawn, shared with me the following story. Her third child was five months old at the time and had been diagnosed with a respiratory virus that was not improving after two long months of around-the-clock treatments and medication. She remembers one evening being totally exhausted and on her knees praying. All of a sudden, Dawn looked up and saw two magnificent and tall celestial beings. The angels did not have discernible faces. Instead, they were enmeshed in forms of beautiful vibrating colors of radiant light. The colors were white, blue and pink.

The angels did not say anything, nor did they have to. They radiated such a loving healing presence that my friend was not only in awe, but knew from that glorious moment that her child would be healed. He was. To this day, he is healthy and energetic. Dawn mentioned that she will be forever thankful to the brilliant beings and other compassionate beings of Light who are always nearby guiding, comforting and protecting.

Awareness of Angel Presence

When we are aware that there are invisible beings willing to help us, it is more likely they will make their presence known. Angels speak to us through our thoughts. You do not need to do anything extraordinary or have attained a high level of spiritual mastery to attract them. All you need to do is trust and believe that there are beings who care about your safety, evolution and healing. Angels do not try to force us to do anything. They hope that we will pay more attention to messages they send, not them. Angel words are always filled with the Light, joy, peace, wisdom, love, courage and confidence that comes from our Father-Mother God. We cannot force them to come to us but, we can invite them.

Did you know that there are designer angels? I know that sounds strange. Here is an example. If you have a problem, define the problem and ask that an angel come who can give assistance in that particular area. There are angels whose speciality is education. Others specialize in healing, writing, art, music, business and as guardians. Why not ask for an angel with a particular expertise in the area of your need?

Interestingly enough, some people actually set a place at the dinner table for personal guardian angels as symbolism of angels being included in the family circle. Angels are unlimited. There are many possibilities. For instance, one or more can be assigned to groups or organizations that have an objective purpose in promoting balance, compassion or deep thinking. Groups of people with a selfless intention or cause develop a group mind that will attract angels. Acknowledge the group angel energy and send this energy before you. Ask the group guide to help with any challenges and support a new awareness within the group. Angels are everywhere we are. I have a friend who psychically sees angels administering to patients at her local hospital.

My purpose is to remind you that you are never alone. We cannot judge by appearances. Be conscious of the truth that our Creator has given angels charge over us, to guard us in all our ways. Take the time to stop and remember them. Offer your gratitude and allow a higher love and peace to embrace you. If you have not already, contact your personal guardian angel today.

Ways of Identifying an Angel

A long time ago, I read about St. Bartholomew who was one of the first who went on record stating that angels may be identified by a trailing and wonderful fragrance. The unexplained scent of roses or pines in the air may be a clue that an angel has passed by. The refreshing smell of a rich pine forest is associated with angels on a healing mission. A sandalwood fragrance symbolizing healing angels. The scent also indicates angels who arrive with creative and inspirational messages and suggestions. Guardian angels are said to radiate a fragrance that is sweeter than a flower garden in full bloom.

Angels come in all shapes, sizes and colors both visible and invisible to the physical eye. You see them for the most part with your inner eye. An angel experience changes us. As we develop through noble and unselfish efforts, we draw closer to them. While we achieve soul progression, they will be patiently waiting and seeking our recognition and love. An attitude of expectancy, love and belief have everything to do firsthand experiences. It is a blessing to be aware of their nearness. Always be grateful for the slightest token of helpfulness, meaning even in the small things like losing a lost item and suddenly knowing where it is.

Angels speak to us through our thoughts and sudden visions and dreams. As an example, two nights ago I was shown in a dream that if I loaned my computer to my friend the printer would not work once it was returned to me. The dream was correct. At the moment my printer is not working. Last week, I had a dream where I saw myself on my hands and knees on the wood floor in the hallway scooping something up that I could not identify in my dream. Well, later the morning of the next day I was on my hands and knews scooping up sewage. A plumber was called. The common drain for the building had backed up in my laundry room. It took hours to clean up the awful mess. That wasn't a part of the plumber's job assignment.

I have also been given many dreams where I am to warn someone of a possible accident. Years ago, I was shown my daughter running on a trail in the D.C. area during her work lunch hour. The next thing I saw was her body lying motionless on the path covered with leaves. I immediately called her and described the area that was secluded and appeared very much like a tunnel created by the beautiful trees. Sure enough...I described her daily jogging area. She listened to me and changed her route. The horrific part is later that very week a woman jogger was murdered on that same path. I urge you to always listen and act, if possible, on the dream or vision given to you. Once I did not. I had an early morning dream of one of my son's driving home from a local college and his face was so bloody and the lips distorted that I did not actually understand it to be him in the dream. Well, later that day when driving home that very same accident happened and his lip was split open after hitting the windshield. Because we were both rushing, I had not taken the time to share either analyzine or share the dream. Also, I was not absolutely positive it was my son in the dream. Sometimes, we must learn the hard way. I have forgiven myself but imagine how I felt. To me this is evidence that there are multiple possibilities that we can choose to live from. The more spiritually aware and discerning we are,the greater our awareness. We become alert to the many possibilities and choose the one that will bring balance and not harmful results.

How to meet an Angel

If you desire to be in touch with an angel, the approach is basically in the same way that you would be in touch with your own divinity. It is through faith, trust and an acceptance of the finer worlds of Light and Love. The invisible planes, which can be visible as well as felt by sensitive minds and hearts, are all one, not two. In other words, creation is not separated. The thinking mind only assumes it is. Once a person believes, an attitude of trust and knowing must be acted upon in all that he or she does. Help is available to those who ask. In asking, we are reaching out to both our inner divine spirit and the angels. Spirit and angels look upon the soul as being temporarily entrapped in matter. If the inner Self and the guardian angels are ignored, they are not as evident as they could be. It doesn't matter if you belong to an organized religion or are an independent thinker and believer. Everyone has both the inner spark of divinity and divine help available through love and belief.

What you can do in a non emergency situation is to simply relax and be receptive to the mysterious inner voice that all of us hear at one time or another. Belief is required on your part. Then, sit back and wait. Angels appear in many forms. The ones I see rarely have wings. We usually see what we expect to see. Their radiant colors and light are of a different frequency than what we normally understand as color. Although all the colors of the rainbow may be displayed, brilliant blues and greens are commonly associated with flashes of Light. When appearing in a recognizable form, they look like us but taller, ageless and absolutely flawless.

One of the ways that you may recognize an angel's presence is through a feeling of peace and warmth that flows through your mind and body. This is true even when the angel is not seen. Their messages are clear and positive. You will retain a vivid memory of an angelic visit. My first angel encounter happened when I was alone and praying one afternoon. Several brilliant beings of Light stood before me. Their combined energy was so intense that I fell down on my knees crying in joy. I felt that my room including the carpet was holy ground. The experience was all embracing.

Cars and Angels

I have always found it fascinating how angels can briefly appear in human form, yes, human form, to help us in a time of need. Several senior ladies were driving on an isolated road in Wisconsin. When the flat tire occurred, they were quite upset. Only a few minutes elapsed and a young man appeared near the car asking my friend, Miriam, if she would like help. Of course, she said yes. In no time at all, the spare was put on. Miriam turned her back to the man as she looked in her purse sitting on the front seat. Although he never asked for payment, she wanted to give him something for his generous act of kindness. When she was ready to hand him money, he had disappeared as quickly as he had appeared. There were no other cars or buildings in the area. It is safe to say that we need to pay attention to the 'people' we meet. One of them may be an angel in disguise.

Recently, I met a lovely young woman named Loren. She had several angel stories to share. One of them occurred when she was eight months pregnant with her son. She was driving north on a tollway to go to a doctor's appointment. The rain that had been slowly drizzling quickly turned into a heavy downpour. Her windshield wipers were going full speed, but she could barely see what was in front of her. As Loren leaned forward in the seat and squinted through the rain, to her horror she saw that up ahead was a red sports care in her lane...and he was facing the wrong direction!

Loren looked to either side of the car for some way to escape a head-on collision. There were semi trucks to the left and right of her, leaving nowhere else to go. She realized that there were no options left, and shouted "Please God, please help me!" The last thing she saw was the man's face in the sports car, eyes wide and mouth screaming. Loren then gripped the steering wheel, closed her eyes and braced for impact. The impact never came. When she opened her eyes she was still in the same lane driving at the speed of traffic. When she looked in her rearview mirror, she saw the red sports car behind her, still in her lane, and still facing the wrong direction. Confused and in shock, all she could do was shout over and over, "Thank you, God, thank you for saving me." Loren was fortunate to have hardworking angels eager to help her on that miraculous day. Do you understand why angels appear to help some people and not others?

Dramatic Angel Interventions

A long time ago, I remember reading a story where Rev. Billy Graham recounted another story that happened to a Rev. John Paton, a pioneer missionary in the New Hebrides Islands. Hostile natives surrounded Paton's mission headquarters one night with the intention on attacking Paton and his wife. The couple prayed through the night. As daylight arrived, they were amazed to find the threat had vanished. Later, the chief of the tribe converted to Christianity. Rev. Paton asked the chief why he had not carried out his attack. The chief replied it was because of the army surrounding the Paton home. Startled, Paton said that only he and his wife were present. "No", the chief replied. The chief went on to say that there were hundreds of big men in shining garments standing guard with drawn swords who were encircling the mission.

From personal experience and stories like the preceding one, it becomes very obvious to us that we not only have our own guardian angel (s) but in special circumstances God sends hundreds of angels to protect us. The following is a story along the same lines. It is a true and old story of Attila the Hun camped at the gates of Rome in 452 AD and the Roman army collapsing. Attila retreated because when Pope Leo went empty handed to the barbarian camp begging him to spare the city, Attila saw two shining beings with flaming swords standing along side Pope Leo. Isn't this comforting to know?

I personally know a great deal about the swords of angels, particularly the traditional flashing sword of Archangel Michael. I had returned from someone's workplace that was heavily filled with negative energy. The energy was so powerful that my normal exuberant and healthy energy felt completely drained. As soon as I got home, I went to bed. Being clairvoyant, I saw the ugliest darkness that had followed me home. This dark energy was an intelligence and it was strong. I started to pray in my weakened state. All of a sudden, I saw Archangel Michael's silver/blue flashing sword coming from the left of my bedroom straight as an arrow to the dark energy looming in the right side of the room dissipating it instantly. As soon as the sword struck through the blackness, my energy returned and I felt like my usual energetic self.

Why are Angels Here?

The evidence shows that angels are here because we are loved. They treat us in the way humans need to treat each other. They guide, guard, warn, comfort, teach and sometimes behave very much like a good friend and companion. There have been times when I have felt lonely and my hand is actually touched or my cheek gently stroked. It could be that we only sense their presence and in rare moments we may receive their caring thoughts when we are embroiled in a crisis. I have seen angels as huge glorious beings standing well above the ceiling.
I am always amazed by their beauty and youthfulness. They have also appeared as brilliant flashes of Light. I have one particular angel who wears a gown of brilliant blue. She loves to dance. Her dancing is a way to demonstrate the freedom and joy that she feels as God's emmisary and helper.

I am convinced that angels will do just about anything to help us live more joyful and meaningful lives. Billy Graham says that the role of angels is to comfort us, to give us peace and joy even at the most critical hour when it is time for us to leave the earth. When my father-in-law was ill with cancer, he beckoned me to the side of his bed. He said that 'they' are coming next Wednesday. I asked him who 'they' were. He said the angels. The angels were right on time and this kindly man left in peace and love.

One of my earlier encounters was during an emergency snow storm. My young son and I were lost in the woods. The trails were covered with snow. We had been out all day and were very cold. The night was quickly coming and we were totally confused as to our location. We had not seen another human for at least an hour. I called the angels. Far across a large expanse of land, I spotted two human looking beings. They motioned to us to follow them. They kept their distance, never talked and would pause when I would fall in weariness. This arrangement continued in the darkness of night until I first knew that the surroundings were beginning to look familiar. I called out to them thank you, thank you, I know where we are now. They immediately vanished. During our entire experience, we saw no one nor was there any other human or car in the parking lot. We would have frozen to death if the angels of love had not answered our prayers. By the way, the answer was instantaneous. The feeling of love and genuine concern for us remains until this day.

Angels and the Unexpected

At some point, I will include a few of my angel stories but for now I have a few other stories to share such as the one coming from a former professor of religion and philosophy at Smith College. S. Ralph Harlow described an astonishing encounter with a group of angels, which he and his wife, Marion, experienced while strolling in the woods near Ballardville, Massachusetts. They heard a murmur of muted voices in the distance and assumed they had company in the woods. Although they saw nothing, the voices came nearer. When they looked up about ten feet above them were a floating group of angels. For a few split seconds, the angel faces were perfectly clear to the couple. The veil between the world of matter and the world of spirit was lifted. Imagine how this man and wife felt!

Funny thing about seeing angels. You do not have to be a member of a church or actually believe in them. I remember reading a story about a group of communists who had a similar experience in 1985. A Russian Space Scientist defected and told what happened to six cosmonauts aboard the Soyus 7 space station. The Russian cosmonauts had been orbiting earth for an incredible 155 days when a band of angels miraculously appeared out side of their space craft. Three of the Russian scientists were working on routine medical experiments when suddenly they were blinded by a brilliant orange Light from outside the orbiting laboratory. The scientists saw seven giant figures in the form of humans, but with wings and mist-like halos. They appeared to be hundreds of feet tall with a wingspan as great as a jetliner. That is big! The angels remained for approximately ten minutes smiling at the stunned Soviets. Convinced they had been hallucinating, the trio kept the amazing sighting to themselves. Twelve days later, something else happened. A group of seven giant figures identical to the other visitors paid them a visit. This time three more of the atheistic scientists witnessed the incredible sight.

Angels are here whether we believe it or not. They guide, guard, warn, comfort, teach us or simply serve as a friend and companion. They may appear to be human-like or as radiant flashes of light, a soft and unseen touch or as a Voice who often speaks to us in times of crisis.

Well Known People and Angels

I love it when people in the public eye acknowledge and give credit to an angel presence or intervention. Sometime back, Sir Ernest Shackleton, a south pole explorer, reported he and his party were always aware of one or more angels who traveled with them across the treacherous ice until they reached safety. Another explorer, Francis Sydney Smythe, had a very intimate exchange with an angel while tackling Mt. Everest in the 1930's. A friendly presence climbed by his side throughout his journey making him feel safe in the midst of great danger. At one point, the friendly presence seemed so real that Smythe divided his meager ration of chocolate and shared it with the angel. Smythe said that he never felt lonely and knew he would not come to harm. In the old and famous stories, Charles Lindberg talked about the presence that flew with him across the Atlantic watching over him when he accidentally dozed off. Wonderful stories!

More recently, such celebrities as the Rev. Billy Graham and country music legend Johnny Cash talked openly about their visitations from angels. Dr. Billy Graham in his book, "Angels: God's Secret Agents", said he was convinced angels exist to provide unseen aid on our behalf. Since then, Dr. Graham has experienced a profound and personal experience with his Guardian Angel. Graham in his seventies was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and was afflicted with a variety of other ailments. Graham begged for God to take him Home but that is when he experienced an incredible encounter with his guardian angel. The angel revealed to him that his work on earth was not yet finished. The angel convinced him that he must continue his work on earth.

Graham had a spectacular celestial experience where he journeyed to Heaven during a series of angelic visits during a several month period. His guardian appeared to him as a winged warrior dressed in radiant white garments. He said the angel told him he has been looking after him all his life. The angel revealed a glimpse of the heaven realm that awaited Billy. He received three messages and three visits. Graham accepted God's Will that he still has work to do on earth and he felt like a new man. Isn't this an inspiring message?
