From the Collins English dictionary: one of a class of spiritual beings
attendant to God, a divine messenger, a guardian angel.
Do they really exist?
I know from personal experience that they do. As I write this paper it is Oct
19, 2001. While is a transition period of my life and not
feeling too productive; in February of 2001 I asked for a guardian angel.
I had heard about them for years. There has been much written of them recently,
and television programs have been created about them. I had an image of what I
thought my guardian angel would look like. For a while I walked around my
environment looking for an older grey haired gentleman with much knowledge to
give me. I thought several times that I might have found him. There were people
with that description that came in and out of my life over the next couple of
months. One of them seemed to be everywhere I was, and popped up at the most
unexpected times. I thought for sure that I would have one very soon. I did not
make contact with any of them. Eventually I forgot about angels and stopped
looking.
I met my Guardian Angel or Star Angel, as I like to call her, unbeknown to me
as to who she was in mid March. I mostly ignored her and had only casual
conversation with her. We run into each other a few times afterwards. It wasn’t
until we started spending some time together in July that I discovered who she
really was. She was not what I expected; she didn’t fit the image I had of an
angel. She was 23 years younger than me, Chinese, physically very appealing,
and
wasn’t too interested in me. I did not associate her with eternal wisdom and
guidance. We started dating eventually and developed a personal relationship
with each other. One evening she whispered in my ear that she was my guardian
angel. It didn't surprise me and I accepted her words as being a true
statement of her being. I already had a sense that she had been sent to me
earlier. We had both been directed to each other at the right time in our lives
to help each other. In the last
two
months we both have grown so much. We each
received what we asked for when we needed it most. When my brain let go of
looking, the angel appeared.
Angels, archangels, spiritual guides, and shamans are messengers of the divine
consciousness. They are the mediums between the creator and us. They are here to
help us in our greatest moment of need. Angels don’t usually come in the form
that we imagine. They sometimes come in animal form or in my case a beautiful
spirit named Vicky.
I was once told by my second wife that she would pick the person who would help
her; she would pick her own guardian angel. I believe she was in error. It just
doesn’t happen that way. We are not capable of picking our true teachers. Often
when we pick a person that we think can help us; we pick a person that supports
us in our own illness. Someone that will tell us what we want to hear. We do not
know ourselves what lessons or help we really need and therefore can not pick
the teacher to help us. The one that helps the most, is the one that usually
challenges us in what we do. We do not need support of one who reminds us that
we are victims; or that we are sick. Guardian angels or guides are there to lead
us out of our present drama not support us in it.
These manifestations of the spirit are there for us to use; it is their
function; all we have to do is ask. We often ignore them even when they are sent
because we don’t recognize them. There are none who are not deserving, simple
ask and be patient. You must recognize their existence before we can accept
their help. And stop trying to find them. When the student in ready the teacher
will appear.
One of the grandest teachings of the creator: I have sent you nothing but
angels.
