The evidence carries its own result

Angels communicate in subtle ways. You receive physical signs that reflect thoughts on your mind. Sometimes you assume the universe is playing with the law of attraction, and yet, its more than that. All you ask for istruth. You get it, but do you accept it?

Consider I was recently near a swimming pool in country Australia. The native area vegetation includes gum trees and eucalyptus. Why then, did I find a  red maple leaf suddenly floating in the water? It certainly blew in from somewhere, and came to me.

Then, while driving home from a meeting, I suddenly found myself behind a car with a bumper sticker that read, "I love hockey." Now, if it had said cricket, rugby or Australian football, it would have blended in with the scenery. Yet, something else was inviting me to reflect on my nature. This was a nudge to become more aware ofwhat is unfolding.

Only a few days ago, my husband was reviewing photos he shot back in late October. I had parked near an airport and seen a plane take off. He later learned he only captured that shot as the plane was three hours late departing. Imagine his surprise to discover this plane and exact flight number we will be flying as the result of itinerary changes The universe already signalled it knew what would happen. We just had to catch up.

I am constantly learning that faith is a very strong inner power. Something about it supports knowledge. We are each instruments. We exist to guide and assist others while we are also guided. Human beings may temporaily forget forces around them rarely show themselves in a traditional sense, but always have your best interests at heart.

Would you like to learn more about Everyday Angels?

I heard a meaningful, public talk by Jan Hunneybell in Ringwood, (Melbourne suburb) and wish to share some of her poetry with you. I would encourage you to explore her website at http://www.aninspiredthought.net  

EVERYDAY ANGELS

This world is just full up with everyday angels,
They’re in every house and down every street,
And if you so choose, you will see there’s an angel
Dwelling within everyone that you meet;

Some may be angels of love and good fortune,
Others are angels of challenge and pain;
The world’s overflowing with everyday angels
And if you can see this, there’s so much to gain.

If you treat all others as you’d treat an angel,
With tolerance, humour, respect and good grace,
You’ll find that you too are an everyday angel,
With kindness and love in the smile on your face.

Angels of mercy help when we’re in trouble,
They pick up the pieces when we’re in despair;
Angels of laughter help brighten the good times,
And help when life’s hard and we’re getting nowhere.

There are angels of love, (they are quite often mothers),
Angels of courage to overcome pain,
Angels of hope and of deep understanding
And angels of comfort who help take the strain.

This world is just brimming with everyday angels,
They’re found in our neighbours, our family and friends.
Look and you’ll find you’re surrounded by angels –
It’s wonderful what priceless treasures God sends.

So, next time you’re snappy, or moaning or grumpy,
About to be nasty to someone you love,
I just want to say, ‘Never shout at an angel,
They’re precious; don’t hurt this great gift from above’.

You never know when you’ll have need of an angel,
So don’t be unloving and drive them away;
By seeing each person you meet as an angel
There’s guidance and help every step of the way.

And finally, know that our children are angels.
Treat them that way and they’ll flourish and grow
Into confident, competent everyday angels,
Healing the world with their energy flow…

When all are uplifted by angelic graces,
And all hearts pour love out like bottomless springs,
Theyll spread their light out into all the dark places
And by doing so they will all earn their wings.

What if you are always dreaming?

Would it be so hard to believe that you are always dreaming? That is, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you are dremaing in some way.  Dreams inspire, motivate and transform how you perceive and with your senses.  Ever ask, why dream now?

Take for example that when you know someone who has passed on, life experiences still remind you of their presence.  It may be a perfume you smell that the deceased person used to wear.  It may be encountering a cashier in a shop with the same name on a badge, or someone who has a familiar gesture or idiosyncrasy.  What about that song playing on the radio? Do you dream conicidences or, could a spirit be making his or her presence known for a purpose?  They have been known to visit during night dreams.

What about when events unfold in ways that cause you to wish you were dreaming? People will pinch themselves to prove they are not dreaming.  What kind of evidence is that?  Positive experiences are created just as negative experiences are created--in the mind.  Why would you take steps to convince yourself to stop dreaming when you get so much out of life? People who believe they dream 24/7 redefine the meaning of awakening.

When you call, they listen

Have you ever been in  situation where you called out for assistance from powers beyond yourself? What kind of evidence have you experienced that confirms they listen?

You may have prayed for rain during dry seasons.  Then, the rains eventually fall.  You may wish for sun amidst the fog.  Then, ithe sun shines.  To what or whom do you attribute this miracle?

You may be idle on a sailing vessel with no wind and ask the angels for a gust.  What do you think when the winds begin to blow as if from nowhere to suddenly your boat along?

You may feel compelled to rethink what is "sudden" or "unexpected" is anything but what you initially assumed.  Whatever you need, you already have.  Something simply reminds you to have faith and what you truly need appears. Who is to say it is not always there?

Listen to the signs from the angels

More often than you realize, guardian angels make their presence known in your life.  What would it take for you to open up and receive their messages? The spirits encourage you to explore the mystery of yourself. They love and support you unconditionally, wherever you are in the dream of your life.  As you sense the signs, you will transform.

You may attribute 'close calls' to angelic intervention. How do you think when you just miss having a car accident?  What about when you seem to have just made a deadline as they say, 'by the skin of your teeth." Did a recent health recovery seem like a miracle?

You agree to believe angels surround you or, you decide they must be a figment of your imagination. Images exist in your mind that perpetuate how you view  everything.  The judge inside you has its own point of view.  Why do you strengthen or restore faith?

On the weekend, I had the pleasure of exploring Bruno's Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Marysville, Victoria, Australia: http://www.brunosart.com/index.htm

Amongst over 100 of his enchanting garden statues, I was drawn directly to an angel that stood behind a girl. She held a quartz crystal exactly like the shard I carried in my pocket.  Soon after sensing that sculpture, a man passed by and recommended I visit Rickett's Sanctuary. I had never heard of it.  He vanished and I felt the urge to find it.

A day later, I drove to William Rickett's Sanctuary in the Dandenong Ranges.  Again, I was drawn directly to a sculpture with the wings of an angel:  http://teachit.acreekps.vic.edu.au/cyberfair2002/Williamrickettssanctuary.htm

This was one among 92 sculptures called "The Earthly Mother."  The plaque beside it offers a poem to encourage reverence for life.: "Follow her light from the visible to the invisible within your innermost self...the vastness of your vision transcends the physical eye."

Near my parked car, a young girl got out of another car with her mother.  That little girl wore a hat on which was embroidered, "you are my angel."  Gratitude and love are energy.  Align with the signs around you.  The Divine touches your soul.  Will you sense it?
