I can tell you the story my aunt told me about the time her young granddaughter was involved in a car accident. My aunt was in the lead car. At a distance behind drove her adopted daughter and the young granddaughter, who was seat-belted in the back seat. To be brief, the adopted daughter's car went off the road and rolled over. When the car came to rest, the disoriented daughter crawled out of the car and started desperately looking for her daughter (the granddaughter) who was missing from her seat. As my aunt realized the accident had happened, she turned and came back quickly to join her daughter beside the car. As the two of them began looking around for the young granddaughter, she came running up the shoulder of the road, calling out, "Mommy, Mommy, the lady helped me!" When they asked her what she meant, she said, "The lady took me out of the car!" On the back seat where she had been sitting, the car jack rested, having been thrown there by the impact of the accident. It would have severely injured or killed her. When my aunt and her daughter examined the little girl, they saw on her wrist, the marks of a hand where she said the lady had grabbed her.

All three women (the granddaughter is in college now) swear the incident is as they have said. It still gives me a bit of a chill to retell it. Now, many people can tell you angel stories, but this is the closest one I've had personally.

As skeptical as people are entitled to be, nevertheless it's worth noting that our world is full of unseen things...things not apparent to the physical eye. So I am open-minded, though I haven't experienced an angel for myself. In fact, my healthy scientific skepticism must stand beside my scientific acknowledgment that the air is full of unseen things like the energy of microwaves and radio waves. So I remain open to possibilities of things that I cannot see or have not experienced.

Just thinking about angels makes me feel better! I do believe in them, and have a special sign from them when they visit me. I have what is called by the American Indians as "Feather Magic". When I am asking God for help, or thanking Him for the blessings He has given me, I find a feather. Now I am not talking about pillow feathers! I am talking about all kinds of bird feathers, large and small. When my Dad died, I found a cardinal feather, a blue jay feather, and a robin's feather- all in the house! In fact, I found so many feathers that I framed them, along with my Dad's picture. I also had a visitation from an angel one night. I was sleeping, and awoke to find a lady, glowing with blue light, standing by my bed. I was instantly filled with an incredible peace...a peace that passed all understanding. I pinched myself to make sure I was really awake! She seemed to be 'talking' to my soul, and I felt myself seeing pictures and feeling feelings of joy and happiness. The blue light around her was incredible. She might have been Mary- I do not know. It was the most important spiritual experience of my life! Another point: it seems that the more you want to believe in them, the more likely they are to show up in your life! The angelic realm must be wonderful and vast. There are many stories that cannot be explained without believing that an angel intervened to help. Finally, they Love, Love, Love God! They adore Him! They love it when they find us adoring Him, too! Many angelic blessings, Jai.

Once my mother and my aunt were travelling in the country side and due to a dust storm the cr got off the main road and they kept driving for about an hour in the dark but could not find the road again. Suddenly they saw a light some distance away and when they approached the light they saw 2 men carrying lanterns. These men pointed my mom and aunt towards the road which miraculously was about 2 minutes aways from them. When they turned the car and looked back there was no sign of the men or the light. Were they Angels? I believe so, I believe that whenever we get help out of the blue like this there are angels at play.

We believe to know of angels and prehaps we know a bit but the truth may encompass a wider range of entities. Could our understanding of angels be traced back to alien visitations? They would have easily been labeled as angels,I believe in the concept of watchers- be they angel or not.
