IMAGINARY FRIENDS

The day before last I was talking to a dear friend of mine.  He was talking about how he does not believe in God or in any religion for that matter.

Yet, he's an avid bike rider and as such, he's exposed to many perils, amongst them are poor drivers and people who think that are good drivers when in reality they not only are not good drivers but have the nerve to be distracted by phones, whatsappo and whatnots.

So, as he was riding his bike, his path was cut by a woman who was busy reading the latest TMZ story and cut off in front of him without giving him time to slow down or halt.  Naturally, his bike slid and he crashed against her, on a high traffic road.

He came close to being run over by passing vehicles, as such things happen.  And he acknowledges that his first and most important thought was a moment-spoken, strong prayer:  "please, God, don't let me die".

I did not say a word.  I did not laugh nor did I giggle.

But I find it amusing.  Humans with all of our smartness and technology.  The endless battles between science and religion seems to be pushing the spirituality that is inherent to us all further and further into the darkest corners of mankind.

It would seem that we are bound to vanish faith as we progress and get out of this "technological puberty",,,yet the need to reach out and know, without a doubt that we are not alone, that we are precious, and that there is a consequence to all the actions we carry out remains.

But then, what happens with those who seek to mingle with the spiritual?  Are they highly spiritual themselves?

Talking to Angels

Talking to Angels is one of the activities that gave the biggest boom to the New Age Movement.  for many it has become a quest that has been ongoing as they need something tangible to hold on to before they are able to state that they have been successful at talking to them.

However, through many years of practicing and doing -almost- all the stuff people say or claim that has worked for them; there are some things that I have come to see that they are absolute truths:

* You can always hear angels if you pay attention to the wind.  There are words hidden in it that can be heard if you pay real attention.
* Angels come and go,  they might show up in the likes of a stranger that approaches you, helps you or encourages you or even comforts you and then suddenly, as you turn around, vanish!
* Once you start communicating with the angels, even if you do not believe you have been successful at that, you will be able to seek their guidance and orientation.  You can even ask them to deliver proof or evidence of what they are helping you with!

The concept of wings is something that humans have created to be able to explain the idea of energy being cast out of the figure of what they believe are angels.  As such, it is important that you understand that when a book says: "open your wings" it is not to be done or taken literally.  It means that you need to send or cast energy out of your body.
