It could be said that angels can appear in many forms though perhaps all with the intent to protect, guide and inform.

If all is of ‘One energy’ then would not that inner voice or messaging system be considered an angel whether thought, sound or action?

We can live our lives avoiding harm or directed from harms way this is often remarked as an ‘angel on your shoulder’. There are some schools of thought that suggest we have many angels or guides with us throughout this incarnation, though perhaps we are not always conscious of this energy.

I remember one day my first year of university, a cold wet mid-October afternoon for who on the weekend in university gets up in the morning. Of course I was a ‘bit’ hung over and had just finished lunch and was on my way back to residence. I certainly wasn’t dressed for the weather with short and a T-shirt, the drizzle and wind blowing into my face as I crossed the divided parkway separating the cafeteria from my residence. I was on the crosswalk and had made it to the island between the two streams of 90 km/hr traffic where a light pole made its home.

I heard from over my shoulder, “Hold onto the pole, don’t go any further.”

There was no one around as I looked over my shoulder and heard again, “Hold onto the pole.”

I continued my slow jog across the crosswalk sure that one car in the next two lanes had stopped. I didn’t heed the message and blinded by the drizzle and fog, the voice and desire to be warm, continued on my way.

The next thing I hear was “JUMP!!” again this voice out of nowhere.

A car on the inside lane did not stop and I was directly in its path. I got hit with only the thought of jumping in mind.

The next part was told to me as I have no memory of the events. The guys in residence were in the TV room watching a football game. The windows looked directly out onto the parkway and they said it looked like I flew over the car. Was I hit and the impact sent me flying? Or did I jump? Or was I lifted out of the way? At 90 km/hr would I still be here to right this if something had not intervened.

I was out of classes for 2 weeks and my aunt a nurse took me in, watched over me to ensure that I did not have a concussion. She bathed me and tended to the contusions, I still have a slight scar in the shape of the province in which this happened - a reminder of the encounter. To me my aunt was an angel, yet there was this other message that I did not heed which was a protective entity ‘angel’ if you will that was there trying to guide me away from harm.

Angels have appeared to me in dream as well, is this too just an experience in an alternate reality? Who is to say…the experience provided information and understanding, I can only be grateful.

No matter what name or definition you may give, listen to the messages that you receive whether with your eyes, nose, and ears or just exist inside your head and heart. As it is the instrument of reception that defines perception there is usually one that is more dominant for each of us, hone that which is true to your self on your path to light.
