Has anyone met or seen an angel before?

[dream]

I have a best friend who has told me that she has met an angel. Three people were talking to her about the bible and church. The third person stood off at a distance but kept saying "you should listen", this person kept shaking their head and agreeing. They all spoke for 15 minutes on the street. My friend continued in her spiritual search with these people until one day she asked them, "what ever happened to that third woman who was with you that day we met. I have never seen her again. Bewildered, they said there were only two of us that day.

A friend/associate said they were in a crowd of people and there was a really tall man who stood above the rest. She was in a rush to go to work and the man made a path through the crowd by making gestures, she said thank you and he said you're welcome "name of my friend". She couldn't believe it . He had just said her name. She didn't ever remember seeing this person before. When she finally turned around he was gone.

Now a friend of a friend told me she was passing near an alley when she saw a man sitting on a bench he watched her pass by. The next day she heard there was an attack on a woman a few minutes after her. She went in to identify him. Later he was told that he saw a woman a few minute earlier before his attack on the second girl. The police asked him why did you not attack her. He said how could I, there were two big men standing on either side of her. She almost fainted as she told the police she was walking home alone that night.

Those are Doreen Virtue stories.

I don't know about meeting angel's in physical form, but I have met one in non-physical form.

It scared the bejeesus out of me at first, and yet for several hours afterward my whole being was overflown with a tremendous sense of love and gratitude. I actually experienced oneness with a house fly (believe me, I never looked at house flies the same again!)

my experience is similar to Michelle's. i have seen the outline of what i learned was an angelic figure, and i've connected with angels energetically, but i have not had the type of experience you wrote about in the OP.

like Michelle, i feel an overabundance of love and gratitude when i connect... a feeling of bliss really... i imagine that is what it's always like in the space we visit when we leave this planet.

Yep, I have no personal experience but have been connecting lately "energetically" as I step up..

Before last month.. I had been mainly ignoring angels in "new age" and then I got a crash course Connection to angels, christ consciousness etc. is something I still don't feel a 100% comfortable with but it is the terminology and ideas of Christianity that does that

[Melchior]

not as of yet...

[brendannz]

One time I was working at a petrol station and a lady said to me
"do you know what you are? you are an angel, and don't let anyone tell you that you are not." I remember when she said the words "do you know what you are..." I was worried she was going to tell me I was an *******

There was quite a long queue of people too, it was a bit weird. The next customer said something about it, and I was a bit embarrassed and said "she probably says that to everyone she meets" (after she left)

Random kind comments can really impact you I find...

Going back to the OP though, No, I've never encountered angels

[Diandra25]

a friend of mine did.

i dont know if he wants me to tell....

i guess it is ok?....

he met a man while he was sitting peacefully at a park,around Nature.

this man asks if he can sit by his side.and asked my friend if he believes in God.he aid yes.Then the man said that Heaven and Hell were inventions of religion,on which my friend answered:yes i know.

so this guys stares at him and says:you must have a lot of Love.

then he told my friend that is hard to live in a human body and they chatted.(i dont feel at ease to say the story cause it doenst bellong to me)

when the man said he had to go he got up and some metters after,turned around and yelled:Andre,i LOVE YOU.

and went away.

Are you sure they are Angels and not demons..how can you differentiate between the two? It is only logical that if one believes in Angels then he/she should also be believing in the existence of their opposite! And how sure are you that your mind is not playing games with you or your imagination?

Angels are beings made of pure light and love. There is no mistaking their energy for anything else.

Demons are ugly, dark, filthy energy suckers and they feel gross to someone on a love based path.

[Diandra25]

havent you guys wondered sometimes if...

those "deamons" you talk about can really be...angels undisguised?

personally i dont believe in Hell and for me the "Satan" is not an evil one trying to temp us in all ways.

i feel that those "demons" or dark spirits can very well be just there to show you who you are,within the choices you make.

they may very well be Angels who "dressed" themselves up and were sent by the Universal Energy to makes us experience/have perception of Who we Are/What we want to Be.

they are characters and we are the central star that has to decide how the show will be and where it will take place.it is like a play really.

Do you believe there is a diference between bad and good, or are this just relative terms to to you?

[Diandra25]

good or bad are terms that are burried in our belief system.

for me those terms are relative,and that is a thing im being aware,more and more,since i first entered in this spirituality discovering path.

a dear friend of mine says that all that we might consider "bad",a person,or a situation/action needed,,is only there as a "character" or as a representation of the duality that exists.

you,as an aprendice Soul,will have to choose,and that wil make you aware/counscious of who you are right now.what were your choices?what did you choose?K or Y,they have consequences too...but the main thing is that now you have the perception of light/darkness,where the darkness is only there to make you have the perception of the light itself.

remember that few lines on celestine prophecy where the author talks about Jesus,as a soul who wanted to experience.he only knew what WAS,and where he was,there was only LIGHT,SO...he didnt had the perception of who he might not be...
he choosed to come,and be the Light in the darkness.when he was crucified.

that is my view of course.

An Angel helped me change a flat tire once...

No, really, I'm not kidding. I was on my way home from work and was on a stretch of highway that is typically a parking lot at rush hour. This particular day, it was a little lighter than normal which only means that the cars were moving at about 35 - 40 miles per hour... bumper to bumper.

I had a blow-out and luckily was able to make it over to the shoulder without incident. After I finished cussing a blue streak, I got out, looked at the tire, and went into the back to get the jack, tire iron and spare. Well, the spare was there, but that was it. No tire iron, no lug wrench, no jack. No sooner had this fact registered than a rather drab and somewhat beat-up pickup truck pulled off the road directly in front of me.

A guy steps out, dressed in blue "worker" clothes like a mechanic or janitor but without a spot on them. He had platinum blond hair that was slightly messy, but clean, and the most penetrating blue eyes I think I've ever seen. He walked with an easy gait and despite the traffic chunking by literally less than a foot from him, seemed like he might have been taking a stroll through a meadow. As he approaches, he says, "Need any help?"

Well, all the stuff I just mentioned had registered, but I didn't really think anything about it. "Just a good samaritan," I figured. Poster child for the Hitler Youth maybe, but still just a good guy helping somebody out. Cool.

"Yeah," I said. "You wouldn't happen to have a Jack handy would you?" Without missing a beat the guy hauls a 2 ton floor jack out of the bed of the pickup truck. "Wow," I think to myself. "That was easy - and quick."

He brings it over and starts to jack up my car. Maybe my male macho ego took over or something, but I say, "No, that's fine. I can get it." Without a blink he steps back and lets me go at it. Maybe two or three pumps on the jack handle and I realize that I don't have a lug wrench or tire iron either. I turn to the guy to ask him if, by any wierd twist of fate, he's got a lug wrench too when guess what, without me even asking he steps up with a tire cross in his hands and starts to bend down to loosen the lug nuts.

A little non-plussed, I say, "Wow. Thanks. But really, I got it. Thanks." I took the tire cross and started to take the lug nuts off. He just kinda hunkered down next to me while I worked. He chit chatted a little - small talk. I can't remember exactly what was said until I was just about done with the last nut and he looks at me straight in the eye with this soft warm smile and says, "Well, [my name], looks like we're just about done here huh?"

The guy new my name. I'd never seen him before in my life. Promise. I'm terrible with names, but I never forget a face or if I've met someone or not and its not like I'm some kind of celebrity that everyone knows or even that I do any kind of public speaking that the guy could have been in a crowd somewhere.

As I looked at him, I just KNEW that he was an Angel sent here to help me out. I finished putting the spare on and as I was taking the blown tire to the back of the car, he grabbed the jack and put it in the back of the truck. I handed him the tire cross and stuck out my hand to shake his. I looked him in the eyes and said with all my heart, "Thank you. I really appreciate it." He shook my hand and winked.

He got into the truck and as soon as a space opened up for him in the traffic, he pulled into the continuous stream of cars.

As I turned around to get back in my car, I looked at where we (well I actually) had been working. The way the car was situated, I was kneeling less than six inches outside the white line of the travel lane. I realized that as I had been working, he had been actually two to three feet INSIDE the lane of traffic, putting himself between me and the oncoming cars.

Two days later, there was a story on the news about a man who was killed changing a tire in almost the exact same spot I had been in.

yes i am sure they were angels. i can tell by the energy. a dark energy being would not be able to create the level of purity that was expressed in the love/gratitude feelings. really it is two sides of the same coin, it is energetic beings - one chooses expression of/focus on love, honors free will, the other chooses expression of/focus on power and does not honor free will. (notice i am not really 'judging' those beings, i am not using incredibly polarizing language because from a certain level it is all part of the whole. it is their choice and they are always invited to choose differently.) so also, the beings i've connected with have honored my free will. there is absolutely no doubt in my mind about their vibration being full of pure love.

i have felt the energetic signature of 'false love' before, of one who wants to pretend to be of love, so i do know the difference.

i know it is real because i, alone, am not very capable of generating the kind of deep love, gratitude, and bliss that lets me know they are saying hello. sure, i can generate a moment of those feelings, but not at that intensity.

@Mato Kinze: what an inspiring story, quite well-written as well.

[aggie]

i believe in them...i know they exist, and they respond.

if anyone has read up on angels...there are all kinds from the ones with names we know well, to the lesser known ones...and they all have their purpose and they are not "goodness and light" in the sense that some of them are a little "darker" in what they represent and their purpose and what they are here to show us.

they can be a bit mischievious and throw a proverbial "monkey wrench" into things...but not to cause harm but to teach us, to make us learn lessons and just plain deal with things in life, accept things, work harder at the alternative if necessary.

my most notable experience, imo, was the intervention of an angel stopping my car before it went into a canal after it spun around.

the light "touch" or "word" of an angel has guided or stopped me or protected me in situations that would be disastrous if left to my own power.

[dream]

After hearing Mato Kinze's story, I do remember a young boy coming to my aid on a highway ramp, when the car's engine stopped working. He was about 14! He came out of no where and pushed the car up the rest of the ramp by himself. He pushed me and the car across the street saying don't worry Ms. I'll help you. This does sound unreal. When we came to a shady neighborhood on the other side I got out and was shocked to see who had helped me. I asked questions right away. Why are you out at this time of night on a high way? He said he's the oldest and takes to the streets to make money. I was still in shock when two men drove up to us and said. "Hey you need a new battery. We have one. The young boy told me "whatever you do, do not "pop your hood". The men said, "Don't listen to this hustling, punk kid. We know him." Then the boys said, "Ms. Do not pop your hood". They went back and forth like a cartoon of a demon and angel on both shoulders. Both sounded convincing, but since the boy helped me I decided to listen to him.

Thank goodness I did. The men left upset and the boy told me that they would have replaced my good battery with a rusty old one. I called my mother from a pay phone while i trusted the little boy to watch my car. He waited with me until my mother came with a tow truck. We had the best conversation and when I offered to help him. he would not take it. I honestly wanted to take him home with us. I never saw him again but always think of him as an angel. Hebrews 1:14

[rawxstasy]

Awesome story Mato. I have an angel story. When I lived in Indonesia and I was going through a difficult marriage and was very depressed. I went to a hotel for lunch with some friends and was telling them about my problems. I said "I just wish God would give me a sign that he has His hand in this situation." Later I took a taxi home. The driver said, "Don't be sad, God is working everything out for the best. He has his Hand in the situation." And the driver talked to me about several things that I had just discussed with my friends!! The hairs on the back of my neck were standing up but in a good way. I felt like I was in the presence of a messenger. I looked into this man's eyes and saw complete love.

Another story. My daughter knows a woman who worked at a salon in our town. The woman was driving to Reno, Nevada with her six year old daughter when she got into a wreck. The woman was thrown from the car and died. Some people came along the wreck and saw the little girl sitting there alone. While waiting for emergency, they asked the girl if she was afraid of waiting there alone. The girl said that she wasn't alone, there was a lady truck driver who had stopped her truck and kept her company until those other people arrived. No one saw another person or a truck.

[Nayon]

I am the friend from Diandra's story. I met angels at least twice. The first one showed himself to me and one of my friend in his light form. He just smiled and waved at us while crossing the room we were in and it lasted about 4 seconds. The second one I met in a park and we talked for about 20 minutes. He told me he was worried about the children and I should help them. I realized later he was talking about God's children of any age. He said he was uncomfortable in a human body and asked if he could feel my skin. I let him so he caressed my arm for about a minute. He seemed genuinly pleased by it, nothing sexual.

He told me he lived on Venus a long time ago, he identified it in the sky that night precisely. I questionned him about chemtrail left by airplanes, as there was one just being done above us, and he told me this was trash and that it would increase temterature in the future. Then I asked what was in them, since I couldn't find that information on the Internet. He turned to me, looked me in the eyes and said with a big smile; I have to go now. I think he felt he couldn't cross that line. A couple of yards away he turned back and very loudly said I love you.

Come to think of it, there are other characters in my life that would fit the bill. I also think like Aggie, and I think there are much more around us than we could imagine; the musicians, the poets, the painters, but also the ones rising hell. I sold my soul to the devil at 17, and he turned out to be an angel too, just playing his part. The world is a stage and everything is smoke and mirror. They change tires, drive taxi cabs, they tell you to avoid problems. They are the teachers, we are the students.

[Diandra25]

i had met an angel too!!



Nayon

i forgot about your first encounter with an angel

i believe that they appear to those who are ready to encounter them.

[GrowthandRepair]

I've seen one during waking and dream states.

seemed to be a teacher in a classroom during one "dream" I had. There were actually a series of them.

themaster, i just wanted to add... there are a lot of angelic beings who struggle with some of the ideas promoted in Christianity.

you're not alone in that. even Jesus (his individuated consciousness) has trouble with some of those things.
