This post is more a survey really….
I was just thinking how many of us here at the Gathering believe in Angels, and also how many use them daily in their lives.
I would love to hear some stories; the following is one of many I could share.
Many years ago now when my life took a dive into the depths of depression, I began my soul journey in earnest.
You see each time I climbed out of the depths, a new vision and learning occurred for me. One such time I had this overwhelming feeling I should quite my job. Not really all that straight forward, it was a six figure income and I had shares in this company, plus my Father (had passed on at that time) and I were the founders of one part of the business. So as I always did through times like this I called on the Angels and Guides to show me the way. Soon, while I was desperately looking for a parking spot in the city, one appeared right outside the book store I was calling on. As I rounded the back of my car to put coins in the meter, I spotted a card stuck to the tar seal, I leaned down to get a closer look, “YOUR NEXT JOB WILL FIND YOU” I looked up and thanked my guides. Within the month I found out one of the Directors was doing a deal with his shares behind my back, this outraged me yet I said nothing directly to him I just waited. Sure enough he eventually brought me paper work to sign, this required my signature to waive my rights as a shareholder. So I signed them, then handed him my resignation and said this also has my signature.
Since that day each job I have had “HAS FOUND ME” and they still do.
I believe in angels, but have yet to witness one. I'm not sure if I'm putting them in the same category, but it is kind of like fairies too. I know they're out there and certain people can see them. I'm just not one of those people at this point in time.
If one just believes, anything and everything... I can't even mentally conceive of everything going on out there. I once noticed how closely the words angels and angles relate, though. And since "God" is the great geometer... The stories Drunvalo Melchizedek in the "Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" shares about his guides and angels is similar to yours. Manifesting help where it is needed if you can be open toward seemingly random resolution. I believe they are always waiting on hand to provide the necessary elements for whatever experience is needed. Kind of like a weird connection/feeling I got way back in 1999-2000 around the holidays when all these synchronicities started tumbling around me. "God" or Spirit is always talking/communicating, but we're choosing not 2 listen. It's constant and all around in every moment. So, maybe since we can't directly hardwire into that, or we would be fried, angels are different "programs" or interface units that help bridge the gap and allow us to continue existence as individual units of expression. I realize they might have differing "individualities", but the whole "free will" thing is seemingly unique for us humans. Sorry about all of the " ". Habit I think I picked up from my grandma.
Hi Ian-
I wish jobs just fell in my lap the way they do for you. I also firmly believe that I am being guided by an outside entity or entities. Perhaps it is just my intuition but certainly intuition must come from somewhere.
How did I know to be careful at an intersection last week when a car was ready to pull in front of me?
I once had a dream about a bright and moving light, like the sparks of flying light that create crop circles. I imagine many people at the g-spot have seen this video. My light was hanging out in this hanging basket of beautiful blue-violet flowers that someone had put in their yard in my neighborhood. Ever since that dream I have felt very connected to this light and think of it often.
I'm starting to get better about following the spirits guidance in dealing with people. I think this has always been a place where I fall short a bit - the social graces and all. Perhapsif I continue to listen I'll get a better job too.
and they're from more than one "angle"! It reminded me of how, after hearing my brother say, "you should be in radio", I was in the number 25 market in the country 6 months later. How my boss, with no warning, closed our company(chapter 11) a week before christmas, and how, that same night,Iwas offered my first job in radio,while I was still in broadcasting school. And how, two days after breaking down in Taos, in the mountains of New mexico, I was offered a job (where there were none) and ended up living there for 15 years. I could go on and on, but the coolest memory that popped up was about fairies!
I had absolutely no experiences, or beliefs in those little people, but, when I lived in Taos, I was exposed to a lot of different things,people,creatures,etc. I was renting this old 200 year old adobe house up above Taos, in Arroyo Seco,N.M.. We had invited our dance troupe over after a performance for a cookout. One of the ladies brought her daughter, but the girl never came inside the house. There was an odd little cedar tree in front of the living room window. It was stunted in growth, and shaped just like a mushroom. That little girl was sitting underneath that tree,,,,and when I finally went out and sat down by her, she said,,,"this is where they are!". She was talking about fairies, she was completely absorbed in the subject then, and claimed to have seen them several times.
A few years later, I ran into her and her mom in town. I had moved down just outside of town ,,,into a tiny mudbrick house on about 2 acres of land. The subject of fairies came up again, and I invited them over to look for them in my orchard. I had cleaned up the place, and gotten irrigation water back into the orchard again, and it had come to life. They did come over, and, after she had carefully probed the grounds, she proceeded to show me where I should build a home for them, what it should contain, how to make the area safe for them,,,it went on and on. And I built it ! Two houses, one was a stone mansion, with staircases, balconies, a patiowhere they could dive into a pool,,,,and the roof was a garden, filled with plants that she said they liked to play in, and sleep on. There were also underground dugouts with 2 entrances for the younglings. She had told me that trolls would surely raid the place .coming from the field bordering the orchard. There were lookout posts in the apple trees, a stone tower with a view of the field.oh! and the second house was an old antique radio, shaped like an arch, that I gutted out and converted. She filled it with furniture, and brought food for them on a regular basis. We had built an outdoor area with a stone slab table. It had sides, so it was a secret hiding place for their magic beans,,,haha!. She insisted that the seeds from a nearby russian olive tree were magic beans. It was quite cool when it was complete, and a friend even came over on a full moon and did a bunch of time lapse photography there. ....I was away for a couple of weeks once,,,and when I returned it appeared to have been raided. The slab table had been slid to the side, and the magic beans were gone. she was pretty upset about that. The girl and her mother would visit, often while I was working,,,for the next couple of years,,,,and she would report to me on how many were around. This went on for a couple of years, then the bears destroyed it one autumn while raiding my apple trees. In that time, she claimed to of had an encounter nearby,,,in a place called Angel fire, with one of her friends. They went to a camp there every year, and had had many encounters in those mountains. This time, they said they had come upon a group of fairies doing some kind of work. The group had "run off" basically disappearing, but they said they had found 2 tools left behind, a golden shovel and a golden rake of sorts. She said that they had showed them to the girls' father,,,and he had locked them in his safe in their home. But, the tools had mysteriously disappeared from the safe a couple of days later. She claimed that they had probably been followed home by the fairies, as her friend's home was close to the area where the camp was. And, of course,,,she said,,,No safe could keep out a fairy!
On another note,,,,and interesting in another way, is the definition of fairy here in China. The only way I see the word used here is in old text. While reading about some of these ancient practices, like "swallowing the moon,,,and the sun", it is said that people who practice these methods diligently will eventually become fairies !
Wow, Todd. Sounds like an interesting girl. Seems as though females are more in tune or receptive to that kind of thing. My aunt tells a story of these little girls wanting to hang out longer (and alone) with a newborn baby... Anyway, the adults were a little weary of their request, but granted it. Asked about it later, they explained it was because the baby could still see and communicate with angels, and the girls just wanted to watch it in wonder and amazement.
I used to watch my son like that,,,,when he woke up
hey, I went to youtube and saw a couple of videos on the flooding there. From the map I saw, it looked like Taos was getting some of that rain too! I was there for 15 years ,until 2011, wondering if they got some flooding as well. I was there for what the old timers called a 50 yr. flood , and it was pretty intense, coming down the mountains and running right through my yard.....Hope ya'll dry out ok up there1...T
Thanks for the well-wishing. It's mostly dried up... Except the St. Vrain river changed course in a few places and they still have lots of roads and bridges to repair. We have friends down near Santa Fe and they were trapped for a few days. Flash flooding is so much more devastating in these dry and desert areas! It just runs rampant over the surface cause the ground can't absorb it. They're calling this one the 1000 year flood. Might continue some into next year, as "they" also think we're due for lots of snow.
Well,
In all my life, I have never seen or heard or felt any indication of anything. Angel, Demon, Ufo, Channel, God, Jesus, Mary or anything else. I don't really take any kind of stock in that, one way or the other, but it's the truth. I haven't.
I have felt an, powerful, assuring, overwhelming, knowing, weeping, joy and awe charged, emotion, that I think I know, was the biggest part of the source or god that I could handle at my stage of evolving. It is real and it happens.
I don't however, quite, consider that to be the same.
Yo? ............................................................. pronounced "yo, mama".
i sort of think our perceptions and conceptions, beliefs if you will, have a lot to do with how we experience the world. angels, aliens, other dimensions, whatever... the holographic nature works with the individual to incorporate and manifest whatever... it manifests. it's why there's strength in belief or confidence and why there's strength in numbers (when focused on a common object). and it's how i know when someone's full of it or when they don't really believe... and how one knows that they need something new to belive in (themselves), because it's getting harder and harder to convince each other that the old way still works. superstition is a form of belief as well. and "disbelief" is also. politics, religion, science, sociology, psychology... each and every system is bankrupted and compromised due to their own limitations of defining the world. because it's NOT always that way.
