Angelic Reasoning

Our fingers barely touched the oracle as it moved across the Parker Brother's wooden Ouija Board. Supposably, a ghost or a supernatural entity was trying to spell out messages so our human eyes could read them. We knew when a spirit was angry when it began circling around and around - almost spinning out of control. As a seven year old girl, I found this to be fascinating when my older relatives played the game around me, and perhaps still do since I'm reminiscing about it today. In fact, I've continued using the method to the madness, believing that I can channel energies like an electric current that travels through air waves when we speak through cell phones to people who are hundreds and thousands of miles away.

I found it not to be so different - our world connecting with theirs, the deceased and/or guardian angels that exist on a higher plane however, in the same space as us. I compare it to the ocean. I can dip my body in for a fresh swim, moving my legs and flapping my arms around fish and other sea dwellers, but I can't live in their environment. The same way dolphins and wales jump up for air, but they just can't live on our dry land either (unless they're inside a gigantic pool). I think we too as humans, can tap into a spiritual world where their energy exists in ways we're not accustomed to, just like ocean animals and plants. But there's just one strategy that I changed from when I used to play with that scary board, and it's that I don't use that board at all anymore!

What I use today are called "Angel Cards" in replacement for Tarot Cards, and although there is an "Angel Board" in replacement for the Ouija Board, I haven't yet invested in it - not really desiring to. Now I don't know for a FACT if a higher source contacts me through these cards or not, but I choose to believe that at certain moments when I'm in deep meditation, I can focus my energy on a prayer and concern and as I select a card from the deck, a positive message will await me in response to my faith. I don't think it is the only way to speak to an angel, but I believe it can be one out of many. If we live in a materialistic world, where all of us have a physical body with specific details and features to stimulate the visual parts of our brains, then why wouldn't there be actual physical tools to communicate with our angels besides just closing our eyes and praying at night?

Ever watch a Sci-Fi movie where a gifted person can lift spoons and forks without even touching them? He focuses his mind while staring at the object and with all his energy, he moves them across the room? Ever wonder, that if it's possible for us to even imagine doing such a thing for a movie, then perhaps we could actually do it one day in real life too? (WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE AND WILL BELIEVE, THE MIND WILL ACHIEVE - Napoleon Hill) And I'm talking GENERATIONS down the line, way after our grandchildren pass. In fact, our futuristic society might even suggest that this generation is barbaric in 2010, compared to how advanced they'll be to how we are now. And I'm not talking about having more machines, computers, cell phones and basically, technology. But I'm talking about having so much inner strength and power, where your mind opens up from using it at 12% to using it at 50%, (where we use half of our brains instead of less than a quarter)..... Going off topic....

Back to spirituality and "Angel Cards"....

No matter which card I choose, there's always a positive message, so I can't go wrong either way. But out of 44 cards, (which was created by Doreen Virtue, PH.D.) there are specific ones focused on either "Travel", "Marriage", "Letting Go of The Past", "Family", "Children", "Finances", "Blessing in Disguise", "Having Confidence", "Perfect Timing" and so on...

So if I just happen to be worried about losing my job, or how to get a promotion, or go about having a career change, and I actually choose a "Finance Card", "Entrepreneur Card", or "Creative Project Card", than that might actually be more than just coincidence. For example, this is what the "Creative Project Card" says:

"Your soul longs to express itself in creative ways. We're guiding you to infuse artistry and creativity into your life. Creative expression makes you feel alive and excited, and reignites passion toward your life."

Then they'll be additional meanings inside the small handbook which will read: This card says that you need more avenues for creative expression. The angels are guiding you to look for such outlets at work and at home. For example, write, play music, make crafts, paint, sew, or redecorate. It doesn't matter whether your artistry is market ready. What's important is that you allow your inner artist to enjoy freedom of expression.

- Work on a meaningful project that you've been procrastinating about.
- Enroll in a creative class such as photography or dance.
- Your life purpose and a meaningful career will come to you through creative ways that are unimaginable right now.

And that's an example of just one card. However, the entire deck is filled with only positive messages entailed with bright beautifully painted images. Could something from up above be communicating back to me the way the Ouija Board did? I can't say for certain, but I KNOW IT'S POSSIBLE. And are there even angels or entities that desire to watch over us in this life, trying to tap into our world whether it's through different forms of physical mediums such as cards, boards, or simply through our dreams? I guess first things first; YOU MUST BELIEVE, or no message will ever get through to you if you block it out.

Perhaps it can be frightening, to actually think you're speaking to something you can't physically see and prove. You might think you're talking to yourself or just imagining things, like a koo-koo bird. But what if we never built submarines to go into the deep blue sea, or built rocket ships that took trips to the moon believing that if you left the sky you'd disappear? Perhaps there is another world - another dimension that can see us although we can't see them. There are animals still undiscovered living in our world, so just imagine what else might be living in our homes if we could only use even a quarter more of our brain - if our senses were hightened and sharpened, and we could hear them. You know some animals have better hearing ability than us, and some such as cats have natural night vision. So if cats can see in the dark but we can't, imagine what else exists that we don't have the ability to see, touch, smell, hear and/or taste? I don't rule anything out a hundred percent. And although there may be some dark forces out there like in that famous Amityville true horror story, then perhaps there are also good forces out there that I'd like to connect with if I allow myself to open up to the fascinating "mysteries" of this world. Just maybe the world as it evolves, is now growing towards a spiritual revolution like we've never seen before.
