ANGEL FEATHERS

Honestly, I can not remember the first time I received a message from the ANGELS. I have always believed in them and have know that they are with me. I have conversations with them a lot. Especially when I need to find something, need direction, need companionship, guidance or whatever I can come up with.

I have several decks of Angel cards that I like to play with. I like to pull the cards and see what messages they have for me. Not always do I use the cards but there have been several times when I have pulled cards, I received messages to look for signs that the Angels are with me and protecting me. These signs happen to me in the form of seeing feathers, finding coins, license plate messages and also repetitive numbers.

Today, to kill the boredom I was having, I decided to go for a walk. Lately, during the day the weather has been most awesome to be outdoors. Plus I felt like I was needing to take extra care of my thoughts today, so going for a walk was PERFECT. While I started to walk, I decided I was going to recite a mantra I learned in my spiritual studies. OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAHA was my choice. This mantra comes from the Hindu God Ganesh. The Hindu's believe Ganesh is the God of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Since I am going through some major changes this mantra is perfect for me.

As I am walking and singing the mantra, I am watching the people in the park, the birds fly and whatever is brought to my attention. As I am getting deeper into my walk, I lost track of the mantra I was reciting and I begin to think about other things. I don't really remember the exact thought, but I know it was one that would have taken me to a place I eventually did not want to go.

All of the sudden, a FEATHER OUT of NOWHERE lands right on my LIPS and flies away!!!! Even though I was a little creeped out from the feather landing on my lips, my immediate response was, The ANGELS are with ME!! Since the feather landed on my lips, I immediately took inventory and realized I was beginning to think negative and this was their sign to me to KEEP MY THOUGHTS HIGH and UPLIFTING. Needless to say, I went back to the mantra I was singing.  :)

It's INCREDIBLE that I am aware, I am FULLY SUPPORTED by the UNIVERSE and the ANGELS are with me as I make my transition to A BETTER ME!! I am GRATEFUL!!

THE CALM IN THE STORM

In my continuing effort to keep myself from hiding, I am AMAZED TO SEE that when I am in a place of FAITH, how others around me are not and ARE VERY threatened of my FAITH. Today I realized that I have been Faithful, but my down fall, being Sucked into others FEARS. 

I realize that when I am in a place of FAITH and it is expressed to a non faithful person, their energy becomes panicky and they have anxiety and then I become panicky and have anxiety and then I lose myself from a feeling that was not mine to begin with. In the past I became so energetically engrossed with the other person feelings and emotions that I could not recognize what was mine and what was theirs and before you know it, I am completely drained from whatever positive feeling I had in me. That is when I would hide. Hide in my shell to get re-energized. But before I would ever become energized, I would play the negative song in my head that would keep me in this chaotic circle.  More than likely the song that was playing in my mind, was their FEAR and their NON FAITHFUL ATTITUDE, plus maybe a little mix of my own to. Like does attract like.

I LITERALLY SAW THIS HAPPEN WITH MY EYES!!! I AM SO GRATEFUL IN KNOWING THIS!!!! Thank you GOD.

How do I intend to not make the same mistake? By keeping myself Firmly Grounded and centered in MYSELF. By reminding myself I AM A SPIRITUAL BEING HAVING A HUMAN EXPERIENCE.  By continuing affirmations that LIFT ME UP. By continuing to practice my FAITH. By continuing to be AROUND OTHERS that will AFFIRM the SAME THING FOR ME. By continuing to be the LIGHT that will help their darkness. By continuing to pray for them. Praying that God or the Universe will help them to have strong Faith in knowing that it is their Fears that keep them from knowing their truth.  AND SO IT IS!! :)

LIFE INSIDE THE SHELL

     

I have referenced my hiding sort of like a Hermit Crab. In understanding how I have been hiding, I want to understand the Hermit Crab a little more.
A Hermit Crab is a land or water dwelling crustacean. Not like the true crab, the Hermit has a soft vulnerable abdomen. In protection from its predators, many Hermit Crabs will seek out abandoned sea shells. When it finds the proper shell, it will pull itself inside leaving its legs and head outside of the shell. Hermits carry their shell wherever they go. When it out grows the shell, it will switch to a larger one.  In determining which shell to move in to, they generally “Shop” for the perfect one. Once they find the one they like, they move right in.Hermit Crabs usually live on the seashore, in tide pools, and on the sea bottom in deeper water. They scavenge for their food.

In comparison, I am like the hermit crab!  I am not a crustacean, but much like the Hermit, I too have a soft vulnerable abdomen and for my protection, I moved in to an invisible shell to hide from my predators.  Just like the hermit I created a perfect shell for my protection. I too have been a scavenger; feeding myself on dead matter by having continuous negative thoughts, creating illusions, making up stories, and suffering on past experiences that in this moment, are dead and gone.

I have grown tremendously spiritually and mentally and the shell that I have been living in is TIGHT and HEAVY to carry and has not always been the greatest looking shell, either. It has weighed me down physically. I have out grown my Shell.

Now that I am HONEST with myself in what I have been doing, I realize that being a hermit SERVED me. It SERVED me VERY WELL, in the PAST.

In my experiences with Life, I have learned that I am Energy and everything around me is Energy too. For a long time, I have ABSORBED ENERGY that did not belong to me by taking on others emotions, comparing myself to others, not minding my own business, listening and trusting others instead of listening and trusting GOD and myself and believing that I was separate from everything.

In ALL, I have SUCCEEDED in being the HERMIT but in all actuality, I am not a hermit. I am a SPIRITUAL BEING having a HUMAN EXPERIENCE.  I am a UNIQUE EXPRESSION of our LOVING CREATOR meant to have DIVINE PURPOSE, LOVE, CREATION, and ALL THAT IS GOOD in my human experience.

The WORK that I am committing myself to doing is not new to me. I created excuses of not taking responsibility in how I created my life. However I also have overcome GREAT obstacles and have learned very valuable lessons and picked up many tools along my path to help me get where I am destined to go and am certain I will pick up many more in my travels.  But picking up tools does nothing for you, if you don’t learn how to USE THEM and USE THEM.  A Captain cannot lead his vessel in the sea without proper knowledge and education.

LEARNING about who I AM, I have to start back from the beginning. Meaning going back to ALL my experiences from the past and  FORGIVING MYSELF and FORGIVING OTHERS in realizing that I made the best choices with the tools that were given to me at that time and completely releasing anyone whom I CREATED A NEGATIVE ILLUSIONS and LETTING GO of it. Once we let go of things that no longer serve us, we have no right to go back to the grave and dig it up. Once something has been buried, it needs to stay there for nature to take its course.

Being the BEST ME living authentically with integrity is a continuous work in progress. Today I see myself in a whole new perspective.  No longer the crying newborn, I am the toddler learning to how to walk. This time I choose to walk in the path of LOVE and LIGHT no longer afraid to come out of my shell.

What do the Numbers say about you?

Numerology

The day you were born, certain traits were bestowed upon you and will be with you your whole life. Since your birth date can never be altered, its personal vibration shapes certain events and incidents in your life.

To understand what the numbers say about you, there are Four distinctive categories consisting of your birth date, birth name, and current name. These groups are, Destiny Vibration, Soul Vibration,

Personality Vibration and Life Lesson.

In determining what your numbers are, there is a simple equation that needs to be done.

Your Destiny number is based on your birth date. For example, birth date of 01-30-1975 the equation would be 1+3+0+1+9+7+5=26. All numbers are brought to a single digit, so 26 would be 2+6=8. This destiny number would be based on Materialism, Limitation, Control, Justice, Authority, and Regeneration.

Our thoughts, Are they really ours?

In my Metaphysical studies, I have learned that our thoughts are really not ours. Thoughts are created from the Universal Mind, or God.

Once, I read something that stated, "The air we breathe is from others." This makes sense to me. We breathe in to fill our lungs, and then the air leaves our body. Once the air is released, it doesn't go away! Air is energy, it stays within our universe. Just because we can't see it, doesn't mean that it is not around. The fact that we are breathing recycled air, kind of grosses me out, but I really believe it is True. In believing this, convinces me that we are ALL connected. We are One human race breathing the same air and thinking the same thoughts.

For thousands of years Humans have been thinking. Ernest Holmes, in his book Science of the Mind states, "The First great discovery man made was that he could think." This comes from the presence of "I AM."

I apply the air example to thoughts. When we think a thought, does it go away? I don't believe so! Like air, the thoughts remain. It is energy too! If I think of something and it goes away from my mind, it doesn't leave, it remains in the Universe.

Some have heard the saying "Change your thoughts and you will change your world!" How does this work? Do my thoughts really create me world? I have learned in my life that when I concentrate on particular thoughts, they come to existence. For example, when I concentrate and think about what I don't have, that really happens. I create my reality by thoughts and nothing really happens, and I continue to not have. One of my teachers explained to us in class, if you close your eyes and think of a color, for example, green, and you say this to yourself over and over I see green, and then you open your eyes, chances are the color that will stick out to you is Green.

The Universe, or our world is Abundant. We have all we need to create the life we want. The thoughts are there waiting for us to tap in to them, waiting for us to use them. Just like the air we breathe. In knowing this, How wonderful is it that if we think about the things we want, it will happen? What thoughts are you willing to think today?

I was walking around,

When I was nudged to look down

Low and behold there's a Lady Bug on the ground!

Here is a little teaser to share what I have been working on! Hope you ENJOY!

The Caterpillar

In my spiritual practice, I read many inspirational phrases, quotes, and sayings, through divination cards, books, or the internet. Something that has been coming up for me lately is that my higher power and angels have been trying to connect with me and that I need to pay attention to symbols, signs, and things coming into my life. Here is a story that I believe is coming for my greater purpose.

Recently one morning, I returned to my apartment from running errands. I share it with a roommate and two of my favorite cats. I noticed “Squirrel” (a female cat) was playing with something by our balcony door. I walked over to see what she had; it was the largest caterpillar I have seen in a long time. I scooped him up and threw him off the balcony into the grass below. I totally was not expecting to see him, since we live on the third floor of the apartment complex. I checked the outside walls of the balcony and didn’t see anything inching its way up. After that, I went back to whatever I was doing.

Later that evening when I returned home from work, I went into the kitchen to cook myself some dinner. Low and behold, I found two caterpillars on the floor dead. I picked them up and threw them away. Ok, now I was starting to become more baffled than I was earlier in the morning. How in the heck did three caterpillars show up inside? Since I have lived in here, I have not seen critters or bugs inside, unless it’s the occasional lost fly, bee or mosquito. Again, I went back to what I was doing, dinner.

The next morning, I made myself some coffee and went out on the balcony and was surprised to see the male cat “Ash” playing with, yes, a CATERPILLAR. Close by, was another one. I chased off the cat and got rid of them. Wow, now I am grossed out that I keep seeing these things in and out of my house. I searched the walls, and the ground, the inside and outside part of the balcony and did not see anymore. Afterwards I went into the kitchen to get more coffee went back outside and the cat was playing with another one and he, the caterpillar was a large one. 

I took a moment to contemplate what the heck is going on. I found 8 caterpillars in the last 24 hours and realized, “There’s a deeper meaning to this.” I researched online the meaning of the caterpillar. I know, butterfly is about transformation and what  I found is the caterpillar is about change, before the transformation. Caterpillar lives for a certain point and then is transformed into a butterfly, shedding himself of his past life and creating a whole new life. “Wow”, this is exactly how my life has been right now. It’s about change. Change has come upon me and I have been waiting for signs of new.

Immediately, I thanked the universe, God, and my higher power for bringing me the caterpillar. For my life is a constant transformation. I recreate and redefine myself continually as I learn each day to become closer to myself and life. Without the transformation, there would be no change.  I asked for forgiveness about killing the creatures that came to give me a message.  I also realized the number 8, for me in numerology is about abundance, which is something that I continue to pray for in my life.

Many messages are delivered to us from our higher power, God, spirit, angels, animals, people and other things. Being able to pay attention to the message may be difficult, but you when do recognize the signs, they can be powerful and exciting. How wonderful it is, that I am able to take this message and look for the deeper meaning.

GOT PRAYER?

"Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him in truth."
