Thanks for the comment Christine, always appreciated. We see people famous for helping others and we tend to think they became famous overnight. To the contrary, people like Mother Teresa and such worked for years at helping others and eventually there was some sort of turning point where she was able to make a bigger impression with the help of others.
Thanks for stopping by Maria. It's wonderful to be able to interact with other caring individuals around the world!
Thanks for the comment Jimmy, you know I always appreciate you stopping by. You bring up a good point that we try to accumulate as much as possible as quickly as possible. It reminds me of the show "Hoarders". As much as I dislike that show because it glorifies being a victim of life and not seeking help to resolve your problems, it sheds light on the fact that we endlessly seek more stuff to crowd into our houses. In the US we are full of clutter and junk to the point that we need someone to come in and clean it all out. Angels are pertinent in our lives and give us great insight. Maybe they don't help us accumulate more crap...but maybe more crap is not what we need. They help us to connect with our true selves and realize our purpose in life...which is far more important than accumulating stuff.
Hi Kirk, you make an excellent point and it is one that cannot be stressed enough. How can we expect people to break out of poverty when we threaten to not help them in ways that enable them to become self-sufficient? Unfortunately some of the problem is rooted in racism. Some claim that poor people are of a certain race or a group of races and that those people are inherently lazy. It is a cop out and a way of avoiding fixing the system. People react to incentives...ALL people react to incentives. Instead of spending government on free cell phones for the poor (a real program b.t.w.), spend it on educating poor people that lost their job--they need education in a field that's growing, not a cell phone.
Your actions are commendable and we should all learn from them. I'm sure with help your daughter was able to get back on her feet again. I'm also sure that if you threatened to stop helping her if she took any initiative it would have made it more difficult for her to do so.
I always appreciate hearing from you and I love your blog,
Bill
Thanks Sandi, much appreciated. I suppose one thing we can take from this post is that it is easy to say other people need to change and be frustrated when they don't. Like you say, it takes action from all of us...no one has the job of waiting for everyone else to do something--we're all in it together. Thanks again and I look forward to reading your next blog post,
Bill
Hi Peggy, thank you for your input. It is interesting to think of the manners in which the energy of each individual could interact with one another. Perhaps in helping others we are actually sharing in their energy and even in the positive energy throughout the universe. And science is definitely beginning to prove the world around us is far more fantastic in nature than our recent predecessors could have ever imagined!
Hi Anne, well said. I believe in Indian spiritualism they believe that there is no such thing as accidents, everything happens for a reason. Perhaps the point of unlikely circumstances occurring in your life is that they are all part of a growth process--one of growing spirituality and deepening faith.
It's interesting that you mention "chi" when I was talking about a transfer of energy because the Chinese and other cultures do view energy as being part of everyone and everything, so that is a good example of a belief system that incorporates this idea.
Thanks for the comment,
Bill
Hi Mi, I definitely understand your fear of encountering evil spirits. I think the important thing to know is that most people are good and typically try to do the right thing most of the time. Such people are full of a great light. They may not be able to see it or feel it, but it is there. When you feel the presence of an angel your white light will be your guide to help you distinguish good from evil. Your white light will also be your shield against all evil. On top of your own white light, you also have angels that watch over you and provide protection. You will be safe when there is love in your heart. Thank you for the comment Mi and I look forward to hearing from you again soon,
Bill
Thanks for stopping by Joel, your comments and compliments are much appreciated :) It makes sense that Angels could be a great source of strength to people. It seems that when we are in our most desperate of moments even a non-believer tends to be open to the possibility of a greater power offering assistance. We simply better answers in those times than the rational mind can provide. And when times are good some people continue on their spiritual path while others struggle to remember the conviction they felt when they were down.
Thanks again Joel,
Bill
Hi Joel, great to hear from you. It's great that you have received so much in the form of energy charges and were able to recognize it contemporaneously. I think in Christianity we accept the possibility of God and Jesus giving us strength because we sometimes pray for exactly that. I would certainly think that some people must actually feel like they were given strength after such prayers, like you are saying, in order for the tradition to continue. In Christianity we also believe in people coming together to worship and feeling support and comfort when congregating. Perhaps people are sharing energy with each other when they meet to worship just as they are sharing in God's power.
Thanks for the comment!
Bill
