I don't understand why some people are even here. I just started coming here and I have managed to read so many topics not to judge anyone. I give praise to people who ask questions about certiain things and If i can help in anyway i try.
I see that so many people read things and I am sure that they can at the very least say a little something. Someone puts a post up there about there feelings and over 200 people read it, and your telling me that no one has an answer? Give me a break.
I'm not saying that all people because I'm sure some send a personal note or something but it would be nice to see that someone has something to say about someone that wants to end it all....I don't know. I just thought that more people on here would have more of a heart than they do. Seeing most of it is about angels and all....I am a lil bit upset that there is so many posts and no one responds to most of them thats all...I guess some people just sit here and read all day...maybe it was destiny that brought me in here after all...even the ones that are on the darker side..
NEVER JUDGE UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY KNOW...WHEN YOU REACH THE OTHERSIDE HE IS NOT JUDGED ON THE BAD ONLY THE GOOD...

I understand what you're saying.
I found this web site when I did a search on angels, hoping to find a place just like this. I am in a very conservative small town and an outsider to boot because I've only been here two years. Finding people on the same street of life's journey has been a little overwhelming to me at times.
What I sensed when I visited here and read through the posts I had time to view was a potential conduit for spiritual growth. I'm glad I've learned to trust my intuition and that I decided to keep trying, because the physical evidence suggested I'd rather discovered a ghost town.
My prayer is for revitalization here.

It is a bewildering quandry. (that's almost redundant, but not quite)
Seriously, it's not just on this web site. The narcissism evident here is also evident as I see the interaction in this small town. That's not to say that there aren't those who are truely looking out for the other guy...loving others as they love themselves (the golden rule,eh?). I'm not sure how to describe it, but there's this sense that things are reaching (or perhaps have reached) critical mass when it comes to our dealings with one another - locally, nationally, and globally. I can sense the intensity but haven't progressed to where I can clarify what I sense.
The day before 9/11 I woke in the early morning...sat bolt upright in bed and found myself praying in a foreign tongue. I released my then conscious self to the experience and continued to pray like that for awhile longer. There was an aching inside my heart and I felt as if I were pleading on behalf of the anguished cries of huge numbers of people. Eventuall, exhausted, I fell back to sleep. Then, the next morning I turned on the television to watch the news (which I rarely did at that time) and saw it happen. I even felt the blast when the plane hit the pentagon. I was less than one minute's air distance from that place.
The same kind of thing happened again the morning another plane crashed not long after 9/11. Lately, it seems as if we're teetering on the edge of disaster...and people are refusing to wake up and see that they can do something to contribute to peace. My husband likens our society to the Roman empire as it began to fall. I'm not much of a history buff, so I have to just take his word for it.
There is hope. There is always hope. And that's why I stay here, on this site. I believe that a vast number of people are in some trance from which they can awaken and begin to love again.
blessings,
linz

You're right but it's hard when it's in your face. We sit here and read some of these posts about people wanting to end it and are finished. Come on Linz can it be that bad? We walk around some don't even (wheel chair it), scooter it, escort t. Like the post about the mom knowing her lil boy is her angel....
Everyone has bad happen to them cheating baby daddies (me)..lol My dad had cancer (lost his lung)...my sister is a drug addict...lost all her kids 3 total 2 are with my dad God bless him...their dad (2 boys) died 5 yrs ago drugs and my neice is in foster care im fighting to get her now... her dad is a str8 up looser...my mother just left my dad after 39 yrs of marrige she couldn't handle it (bypolar)denial totaly runs in my family all the way from my mothers mother down to my daughter that is 15 who is good thank God for my skills in juvenial delinquents and special needs children.. I lost my best friend Jose of cancer he was 37 almost 2 yrs ago. No one told me he died i found out when i showed up at his door big smile on my face and his girlfriend looked at me when i said, "Hey wheas JOSE?" "AHHH...Jae I buried him today...." sorry no one told you?" so in like 5 yrs about 6 people died in my family and things happen all the time....and people want to end it.....JUST HOPE SOMEONE CAN PREVENT ONE
Thats why im here to tell some stories and let some people know that I have some answers to some of the problems they have...even some encounters...medatation teqniques...there is a website BELEIFNET.COM ITS A GREAT SITE....IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT...

Jae,
your perseverance and insight will be a blessing to many, I'm sure. And I also believe that folks will begin to be drawn to this site again as we continue to be open to them. I wonder where the mediators are that started this site? Interesting.
I'm glad you're on this site. I was going to ask if you would share a bit about how you came to work in the group home, etc. Someone hanging around in the shadows or viewing as a guest might connect.
I am sorry for your loss of Jose...and the way you found out...painful. And yet your heart grows through these experiences rather than shutting down. I see a lot of folks who shield themselves from pain by indulging themselves either in gossip or in material gain.
Again, it's very good that you're here. Thank you for taking the time.
I'd like to read your book when it's finished

thanks linz...and will look forward to sharing...
I started workin with disabled children ie..downsyndrome..PDD (pervasive-development disorder and Autistic children 4-6 yrs old. Once I had my (normal) children I figuring it would be easy to work within the school system and have all the school days (snow days off). So I did. I worked with them for 3-4 yrs and It was hard and very rewarding. Once my 1st child was out of diapers and boogie free I had enough of the toileting other children and moved on to the juvenial delinquents and gangmembers which i grew very fond of...working with them gave me so much insight on what we all should be greatful for. The parenting issues surrounding them was terrible. It made me such a good parent. How to work with my own kids and have an understanding and pick my battles not to be to harsh on the little things.
I have a great respect for the inner-city way of life seeing that I have been here for most of it all but the first 16. I wouldn't change it for anything...Okay maybe I would. Except the suburb living is so judgemental and my children wouldn't know what to do with people like that. I'm sicilian/native american with african american children that don't look it..but have the mentality to overlook everyones faults and that doesn't go over to well in the suburbs. so thats the story of me...lol
thanks for all you warm words....i can see that this is going to be the start of a great friendship LINZ

Thanks again Jae!
I appreciate your observation of life in the "burbs" I completely agree. You think it's bad there, you outa catch the small town action! Geese! I bet there are folks who live and die having never experienced any kind of reality. Sad. I'm interested...what took you to the inner city? I've been drawn to it and scared of it at the same time. It's always seemed like I was a little fish in a shark tank when I got close. I'll tell you a story that really put my feet on the ground and has, in some ways, held me back.
I was in the old town section of a city where I had taken a small respite in a nearby hotel. This was a few years ago. I was on my way to church on a Sunday morning and saw a homeless man I recognized. I stopped and asked him if he had had breakfast. He hadn't so I took him into the corner store and got him something he wanted and a banana (something nutricious) and asked if he'd like to go to church with me. He declined. It's the first time I'd ever done what my heart had cried out to do so often when I saw someone in need on a street corner. I asked if he'd be around later I'd be happy to bring lunch and maybe we could talk. He seemed glad so I went on my way. When I returned with a sack lunch later I couldn't find him. I asked a couple of shop keepers. They knew of him but didn't know where he was. I walked on down the street and finally saw, among all the tourists, a local man sitting on a bench. I said that he seemed like someone who knew the neighborhood and perhaps he'd seen this homeless man. He yelled at me! He accused me of insinuating that he was a bum and would know a homeless person! Have mercy, that was the last thing on my mind. I just knew this homeless guy was a regular on the street there (he had very distinct dreadlocks and a magnetic something about him).
Anyway, it shook me to my core. No one but my mother had ever yelled at me like that and refused an apology or anything. He even threatened me with calling the cops! I was flabergasted! I went back by one of the shops and left the lunch with a clerk to give the man if she saw him. I got back to my car and cried my heart out and...rarely went back to that part of town again. I was so humiliated and shaken up. (gee I sound like a real premadonna...I'm not. Just naive at the worst times) Out of the best intentions I had offended someone so badly.
Well, that's my inner city story. I've been scared to go back without a mentor. Maybe I just don't have any business there. Sometimes I feel like such a "white girl". Does that sound stupid?

No that doesn't sound stupid...
I lived in the "burbs" in a $450,00 + home and didn't fit in...darkskinned Sicilian/native american rest of my family very light skinned...I was made fun of by my neighbors. My own sisters looked at me different..I have full lips and just different. But i love it now whea as back then i was very self conscience. But you won't catch me dead in a tanning bed...lol
But anyways I ended up in the inner-city because my boyfriend was from thea and i felt so comfortable. I was neva judged and no one looked @ me diffrent. So I just belonged..Most of the people are black and or Hispanic. Brazilian or a mix of whateva...so i fit perfect...lol no one really knows what i am really...a mix of whateva...so it was fine...i spent 15 yrs in the city i worked in and then i moved one city over...
anyways my kids at my job respected me very much seeing i wasn't the teacher from the burbs fakin the funk...they knew i wanted to be there...so they connected to me..and i make a diffrence....i don't fake the funk..
LINZ did you eva think you were chasing an angel....lol or an archangel...um they come in many forms ya know...sometimes you can look one sec and then there gone the next... jae....

Yeah, that thought about chasing an angel had crossed my mind. I think they hang around out there challenging us to wake up and get real beyond ourselves. Even though it was a bit of a shake up, I've always been grateful that I took the chance and put myself out there. I never wanted to be do-gooder (somebody doing it so they can feel better about themselves) I really want to put myself out of the way.
I guess I don't have the funk...but I do a decent Carol Burnett and have a very active inner child The beauty is that we have the gift of ourselves to share...and we don't reach our full
potential until we do share with a pure heart. I hope some people are reading this stuff
we're writing back and forth. I'm with you...I want people to get involved and care about one another.
I will never forget when I was 7 or 8...one night while my family was eating dinner at the
kitchen table by the front door, a begger man from town showed up (this was a small beach/river
community where my dad was a local pastor). The man was hungry. He asked for money. My dad sent him away with a reference to somewhere and maybe a couple of dollars. I was mortified and so angry with my dad. I could not...and still cannot...understand why he did't have him come in and sit down to eat with us. It's not like he didn't know the guy. He was kinda like Otis on the Andy Griffith Show. That made a lasting
impression on me. I remember reading in the Bible many times where we're cautioned to care for
strangers as we may be entertaining angels unaware. For all the things people take literally in those pages, it's a shame more don't take that the same way.
So which Tarot deck would you recommend for a beginner. I have some clairvoyant ability/potential I'd like to learn more about and develop. It's in me for a reason. Time to
get down to it!
Well, this is going to be a busy day on the homefront.
You're an awesome blessing!

| Amen! You go girl! No one has right to judge another. We all here have 1 thing in common, We believe! When someone you see needs help, Dear God answer, console,ease, help, we may be here for our own needs but hear the others around you. Reach out for others, thats lifes biggest rewards everything else follows suit.

Yeah, the forum programming sends emails to your address when someone responds to a post on the forum. I stopped checking the emails and just log on to this site and go through the list of recent posts to see any ongoing conversations and participate. Otherwise I'm constantly jumping back and forth between my email and this forum site.
It seems as though you're doing great! Keep up the good work! It's fantastic to see different people logging in and giving support to one another.
I have only responded to certain topics based on when they originated...but I've realized that there is value to reviving conversations, even though the original poster probably doesn't log in anymore. So we keep traveling and discovering new ways to connect and new people to connect with.
Peace, Blessings, and Bright Vision

Hello to you new members!! It is nice to see you all connecting. I don't get much of a chance to interact on this message board but do want to let you know my thoughts and what is going on here.
As you may have read we had some problems with our last message boards and it took time to replace them. This board was able to incorporate most of the previous messages and users. We have been kind of testing this board to see how it works. In the next few weeks we are going to send out an email to all the members of the community that the boards are up and running again. So, thanks for holding the fort down and adding your special spark as we look to encourage usage again.
We really love to see people of like mind and heart connecting. Thanks for your valuable input and energy.
As far as people viewing messages but not responding- because of the previous problems we had we reluctantly decided we needed to make this community member based only, so unless people decide to sign up you can't post, you can only read, so that might have something to do with it.
Many Blessings,
Thomas

Thomas,
It's really good to hear from you! Thank you very much for helping us understand and put things in context. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop. This web site has brought two new friends into my life recently and has been an answer to prayer. I just really appreciate you taking time to give us feed back.
Have a joyful day!

| just remember just like you sometimes intertainted angels.you can also let satan in being ni'eve. your father is a pastor . you said he did gave the guy money.and send him some place for shelter. when you have children.you can't just invited any everone in because they're unfortuned. I used to do volinteer work for the homeless soup ketchen In new york city, i also used to work for the shelter for homeless family,and abuse.wife and husband.and some of these people are dangous.and mental ill, killer, etc.so you see your father was just being causion. and don't things because you're in search of meeting an angel, just do it because you're loveing and careing. every thing else will fall in place for you

Dear Sindy,
I know alot of people worry about the satan thing....One thing to remember is that if you call on Archangel Michael to surround you and keep you safe , he will...and you will be safe...pray to Jesus and the Father to be with you and keep you safe. And , ask your Angels to surround you and they will. If we feel betrayed because something negative happened to us....we need to look at it and ask if this happened because of a 'free will ' choice we made or maybe it was a lesson to be learned?
I ask for protection everyday before i leave my house ...or when I get up in the morning...
personally I do not believe in satan....I used to but since I've grown more spiritually I just can't believe in him anymore....My Father isn't capable of manifesting an evil thing like satan.....this is just my opionion....and do not wish to push it on anyone....it's just the way I feel and it resonates with me because of knowledge I have gained and my gut intuition...and my guides...they seem to validate my opion.
but anyway......
as far as the people on this earth with severe disabilities goes....Alot of times people choose to come into this lifetime with intense disabilities to either learn a lesson for themselves or for someone else....I look at these people as special because they are signing up for a difficult task....opening themselves to ridicule and abuse.
the homeless....some is a lesson?? some a free will choice?? It is important that we as ' lightworkers " to enlighten people to what is real out there....what is good for them and try to show them the error of their ways so to speak.?
Mean and nasty people need more help than anyone......all we can do is pray for them that their eyes will open to the truth out there and to maybe set an example by our example.......like say my husband...he believed in nothing....since I am now a Reiki Master and have helped him heal some of his problems and he has seen such a change in me and my attitude...I am so NOT combative anymore and always try to see the best in people...that he now seems to be coming around ...he see's me at peace and I think he want to feel at peace as well.
SO ladies.......what else can we elaborate on out there.? Let's get some good intense discussions going ...who wants to start?
love to you ALL
Dee

You know what... I think more interplay could be taking place to, but sometimes I can't put into words exactly what I'm thinking... maybe that's why I read more than I write.
I do find some peace just being able to see what others are thinking and experiencing. And I for one, will try to better at sharing my thoughts and experiences~
Until then... Be well, love... and Take CARE...
