Guardian Spirits

The following is a story from my personal experience that I wanted to share, as although much of the material we see on these forums and on the internet is incredibly important and interesting, I think our personal experiences of forces beyond ourselves are also very important to talk about. In the "outside" world many people would look down upon such discussions in our modern day and age, but regardless, here is some thoughts I've been having lately.

I've always had this feeling that there is a guardian spirit or possibly more than one positive force helping guide me in my life. On occasoin, I believe these spirits make their presence known, and possibly even intervene in the physical sense. One of the first experiences was a kid playing baseball, I was pitching to one of the biggest kids in the league, and he hammered the ball straight for me. I basically ducked for cover and when I looked up, the ball was in my outstretched glove. The reflexes required were beyond what I thought I was capable of at the time, and people in the crowd (and on my team) cheered at the sight of it. Ended up getting a double play out of that one haha.

Other experiences in my life have occured over the years where I think I was guided by another force, sometimes acting through other people, and sometimes through a mechanism I won't try to describe or understand. I've come out of a reasonably scary car crash unscathed, and found my way home from pubs in strange towns safefly, sometimes even without a memory of it (mostly in my younger days).

Recently it seems things have been stepping up a notch, both in the protection, and in the negativity which sometimes leads to the need for it. This time things were not so "self induced" as some of my younger drinking expereinces, though this one did take place at a pub:

Some old friends and I were catching up and having a few drinks and decided to go downtown. We got the pub for last call and sat with a couple of drinks and were talking about all manner of things. A large man came up to us and was really trying to start a fight. I did my best to calm him down and be peaceful, I was in a very good place that night, and felt strongly that I could help this guy let go of his randomly directed rage (I imagine the fact we were all noticeably smaller than him was his trigger as we hadn't been talking to him before he accosted us...)

Anyhow, the pub staff threw the guy out and explained to us that he was a known troublemaker. One of the mans friends actually sat down with us to apologize and chat, and brought up the subject of how "we're all going to die in 2012."

Well that certainly got me off on a tangent, trying to convince him that 2012 is just a galactic alignment and only good things will come of it, though at first things may look bad, and that the changes are already starting etc. etc (see David Wilkcock's website for the gist of what I said to him haha). Anyhow I failed to convince him of anything significant and the pub was closing. I think he and his friends had gone to see the movie earlier and were brimming with fear, hence the violent outburst.

This is where the protection came in. The same large man from before was outside waiting for us. In fact one of the bartenders had been watching for him and wouldn't let us leave until he was gone. They ended up sending us out the back door after turning all the lights off, and we saw no more of the guy on our walk home (in a pretty small radius of the pub mind you, chances he would have found us had we walked in a different direction were high).

Anyhow, the next morning I felt the effects of my late night partying, pretty badly, but I knew the experience had happened for a reason, and I tried to 'enjoy' it as best I could, as a learning experience.

This all happened on Friday night.

The second recent encounter was not actually my own, but with my parents. They were narrowly missed by a car that crossed the median on the highway just yesterday. This happened shortly after I had pondered out the events of the previous paragraphs, and I knew there was a connection. Perhaps these forces are looking out for my family as a unit, as their connection to me is strong and harm to them would certainly be harm to me.

In the past my experiences with help from the divine have been very random and spaced out over time. This is two noteworthy experiences, one directly associated with my recent interests in 2012, and spirituality. Perhaps time as we know it is condensing, and the stakes are getting higher, or maybe I'm just becoming more aware of how things 'really' work. Either way I am thankful to whatever higher beings or forces are helping to guide me through these times.

Cheers, Josh
