What if you did not get visited by an angel because you were completely beside yourself and feeling oh so helpless. Isn't it regardless of what you were told, believe or not, that is possible that they do exist and are ONLY rendered to be seen with the eye or felt with the other senses that something or someone from a higher place, is looking out for you, us ? Some faiths regard an angel as a very special divine helper to the highest order and cannot be someone who has physically lived under the impression life is not eternal; however I feel this divine helper is not continuously re-born but born once, never to die for it truly never was a pure physical host that carried a spirit essence, it was the spirit essence. Humans, I feel, carry a spirit essence but are genuinely in denial of using that essence because the ego rules. This physical body characteristic more defined under the psychological classification, (see below) manifests its ugly head and keeps the spirit down with action, reaction, the 'gift of freewill' and emotion. The angel looks backwards to see what mess the human race has made this time and can only help when instructed to, by the highest power in the holy order. We the lowest power in the order on the totem pole and we are not capable, or at least most humans, cannot convey a need for an angel, they must look to an external source.
So do you feel somewhat powerless if the concept of divine beings known as angels, does not flow with your current perception of God and what goes on up and out theret ? If you are not sure how to adopt a construct that includes these divine beings, try letting go of definitions your past accepted of them till now. Clear the indoctrinational approach and the biblical approach and the ways of everyone else who decided angels would mean this . . . and harness your own curiosity. It is not against the higher power but in congruence with the higher power to communicate with these helpers to understand where our final resting place will actually bring us into prpeparation for ? I figure there are a few ways one can open their mind to the possibility these beings exist. I offer this "we can open our heart and be blessed with the power of a whole choir of angels should we pay attention to their holy voices through meditation, prayer or simple 'contemplation of ones navel'. How simple right ? Well . . .
An angel does not tell you she or he is arriving. .. An angel does not make its presence known. .. An angel is not perceived unless you truly believe that the divine power to establish contact with such a being, is possible. So do you sit in bewilderment when something or someone has intervened without request, out of the blue, when you least expect it and think nothing of it?
