	Subject: The Earth Angel Posted by a.wish Tuesday, May 18, 2004 at 05:03:46 Message: I honestly believe I am truly, an earth angel! I am here for understanding from those who know these truths exist! Brought to this earth adopted to parents whom both have since past, singular my existence, have not been able to truly connect to anyone! I am different, Liked by all at first, then shunned by all, for what seems to be my intimidating richeousness, I don't try to put myself above any other, but it seems others guilt of selfishness, greed, natural human behavior, makes them naturally uncomfortible in my presence. I am very lonly, I wish to go home! I just know I don't belong here, I am not from this plane of environment. But when I am on my knees in my weakness of complete sadness, I hear the thoughts whispered to me, " Theres much work to be done", I then regroup my composure with the inner strength of dignity fulfilled by the incredible greatness of the gift of such importance to be choosen to be here by the grace of my Father, so special I must be to be choosen to be sent on this mission of great pain & suffering willingly in the name of my Father, as one of his choosen soldiers! He knows my pain! He sees through my eyes the reality of which is expelled at me,I know he is witness to all the indignant injustice I endure in his name sake as I continue blindly through this existence with an uncertainty of destination. But as his will must be done, I must remember the glory of my choosen mission! Just a his only begotten son, my loving brother Jesus, as well was ridiculed, disrespected, overwhelmed with the entirety of " father, how can this be". But I will too continue as my Father finds necessary, until I too will be called home. I pray it will be not much longer! I am very home sick for the peacefull, joyous, welcome from all to all! This what we humans do is so unGodly, it trully is too much to bare! Abuse to beautifull children, pain inflickted to the creatures our father gave to us as gifts of loving comfort. Doesn't anyone see what is so unvailed before you? Why do you think biblcally we are refered to as sheep? Blindly one follows the other without responsible thought! Follow the leader therefor relinquishing ones own responsibility of guilt, Please, let my life in this worse than third world country suffering environment not be for not, heed my passage to you all, as the song I heard is so true, How do you know she's not an angel, sent here from Heaven to see how you would respond to that women in need! Whens the last time you asked your Father, How are you doing today? Not I need, but GOD, are you sad today, are you crying about the little girl found in a closet today, starved, naked in her own waste, GOD are you O.K., I am so sorry for our shamless hurtfull human weakness that is so hurtfull! Anyway! Think about it, won't you, PLEASE! a.wish angel please give someone a helping hand

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Raven Tuesday, August 24, 2004 at 23:09:38 Reply: I was touched by your message, I too was choosen to be here at this time. I have been alone in the preasents of many all my life. I am a healer, I am here to raise the vibrations of the children, I'm waiting for the time of my calling as are you. I have tried to teach people but I am shuned because of my light - you are not alone and there is MUCH work to be done. We can not keep hurting the children, the animals, and our beloved Mother Earth. There not many that can see this but you and I are part of the few. I also long to go home but we have much to do, I am the One, I am the Many. Raven

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Diane Sunday, February 13, 2005 at 14:14:24 Reply: This is my first time on this site and I had to add my own thoughts. An Earth Angel usually does not belong here on this rough planet. They come from a planet where peace, love and beauty are the everyday factors. That is why they suffer so much torment and pain here. They are here as a favor to humanity who usually do not appreciate or recognize them until so much damage has been done that their gifts could have prevented. In my own journey here, I have been gifted with prophecies which sadly were ignored. You can recognize an Earth Angel by the way they are singled out for mistreatment. True, many people are mistreated. An Earth Angel is so advanced spiritually, that the usual rules of Earth do not apply to them. Some are so advanced that they are Angels within human bodies. You know you are an Earth Angel if you automatically raise the vibrations of those around you without any effort on your part. That is the sign of an Earth Angel. They were born and will die, but their true essence is that of a real Angel. When an Earth Angel suffers, the angels weep too. An Earth Angel will often suffer the worst kind of mistreatment and will often not have any way of defending themself. That is because real angels do not interact with negativity and the Earth Angel does not wish to 'dirty' themselves with negative energy. They do not have the usual earthly experiences because they do not need them to accomplish their spiritual mission. I hope this brings comfort to those who came here as Earth Angels. You will return to your planet of peace, love and beauty. God loves you and so do I. Diane
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Cherry Monday, May 02, 2005 at 19:25:42 Reply: This is my first time visiting this site. Can somebody pleast tell me how you know if you are an angel? Would a medium be able to sense if somebody were an angel? I am asking this due to a recent experience which has left me feeling quite confused and looking for answers to help me understnd. :)
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Jai Marie Wednesday, May 18, 2005 at 05:11:29 Reply: Yes, in response, I have been very curious about whether I am an earth angel lately myself. I feel I certainly could be. I have experienced much suffering in my life, have always had a strong affinity with angels, and never was capable of defending myself when I was ridiculed at a younger age. It just wasn't in me. Even later on, when I was schooled on the wits of verbally defending myself, it still didn't feel like me. At the thought that I am here to fulfill a mission of world peace, to the the best of my ability, and that I don't really belong here, my heart soars. Because deep down, it just feels true. It's all very confusing. I asked for a dream from the angels to send a sign of some sort, but none came yet. Either way I know I am a divine spirit, but I would like to know if I am an actual earth angel or not so I can defend myself and others against negativity with the appropriate light energy. If there is any way someone could find it in their hearts to email me, my email is peacefulie7@yahoo.com. I would greatly appreciate it :) bless you

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by seeker Monday, July 25, 2005 at 11:28:55 Reply: Sometimes I want to go home...I feel so sad, lost & homesick. But then I always hear my guides telling me that there's work to be done, and that I'll be going back someday "soon" anyway - what's 60 or 80 earth years - just a small drop in the bucket... So for today - look for peace within you, and give small gifts of love every day. Even if you are met with hate, return love. It makes all the difference.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by seeker Monday, July 25, 2005 at 11:35:09 Reply: Maybe this will help. Today I wanted to go home so badly, but I know it's not time, and this helped me a lot. http://www.tomorrowsedge.net/the-quest-for-angels.html
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Jill Monday, August 08, 2005 at 02:26:16 Reply: I can't thank you all enough for the great words and messages here. It has taken me a long time to reach my current level of understanding. I too often (more often than not), wish to go home. Unlike the others, I don't get any pull to stay, havng my angels tell me there is more work to be done. I know my purpose here was to be a catalyst and I have fulfilled many accomplishments and voids by being a catalyst (i.e. often a sacrifical lamb if you will, suffering through things to make things better in future for others). My question is this: If I prematurely ended this existence to go home (which is what I feel the pull to do), what will be the ramifications for me (spiritual, karmic, and otherwise?) As time goes on, I feel there is less and less to keep me here. Thoughts?
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by angelnati Wednesday, October 26, 2005 at 10:45:58 Reply: Hello angels i just wanted to say that i sometmes wish to go home but my place is here with the race to loveshare heal communicate the light of heaven and teach others to open there hearts to theendless possibilities this life can and will hold. Its hard feeling alone yet i feel god and our angelic kind would not of chosen us to give up in ourmission we were the gifted the strong the warriors for the light.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by gemini angel Monday, January 02, 2006 at 13:34:01 Reply: hello my fellow earth angels! I stumbled across this site while researching articles on earth angels!!! Please hang in there! let your heavenly light shine! The more love and light you put out there..the more you will receive in return! We have a very important mission, our world will be ascending to a new, higher vibration soon and we are to lead the way! Please do not feel that your life must be all pain and suffering. Look between the cracks and you will see all of the love that there is on this earth! Please remember that the human race is run by fear! Every negative action or behavior that occurs, has some basis in fear! Even if a person is kind to them and loving to them, they react with fear and distrust. If you hold this in mind, you will be able to better understand that it is not a personal attack on you, rather it is their reaction of fear!...surround them with love! Rather than taking in their negativity, protect yourself, surround yourself with a bubble of white light to dispel any negativity! We are highly sensitive creatures and we need to protect ourselves from this negativity that is in this world! this is not a bad thing...it will enable you to send more healing love around you! The only time anything negative will happen to you is when you let it! Remember you are in control of your experiences. Some of us do draw in negative experiences to learn, but do not let them own you! Love and light are stronger than anything else on this earth! So please continue to go out there and shine your beautiful divine light for all the world to see! With love and devotion to all! angela grace
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Kathy Saturday, April 15, 2006 at 22:20:08 Reply: I stumbled here looking for what an earth angel was... A friend of mine did a reading for me... and told me that I was able to move between earth and heaven at will even tho I was unaware of this... I do know that I biolocate because I have been seen by many doing this even tho I dont remember it when I wake up. So this reading I told to a good friend of mine that is a reiki master. Her guide told her I was an earth angle. Reading what you all have said alot I can see applies to me. But the person I am with now is always telling me I hate ppl and what I dont understand is before coming here to be with him I loved ppl just cant handle being around themn all the time .... and dont like being around hateful ppl so I distance myself from them. The ppl he wants me to be friends with are so negative I cant stand being around them so now I have the label of hating ppl :( How could I have changed so much or is this another form of abuse? Now its like I have to remain on the defensive side and unfortunately my behavior isnt very angelic anymore it would be described as pure anger. But I also have been in several abusive relationships where I was physically abused. Please give me your opinions Thank you

MY WHOLE POINT REALLY IS THAT U ARE HERE FOR A REASON AND THATS TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME, THIS MESSAGE HAS HELPED ME AND I HOPE U WILL TAKE SOMETHING FROM IT THAT WE NEED YOU. THANKS FOR SAVING MY LIFE
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Tina Thursday, June 08, 2006 at 03:02:43 Reply: Hello everyone, I just had a past life reading with a good psychic who told me I have been an earth angle for a long time, specially during the Renaissance time. He sent me the link to this site, for me to read and understand. As most of you, I have had a terrible childhood, being abused and hated, bullied, I have been in war, have been racially hated and I am greatfull for all of those experiences. I am who I am, and understand pain the way I do, because I have experienced it all. I know what it means to be hated, to be abused, to be extremly poor, to be bullied. I love animals infact I understand now why I sometimes think I love them more than humans. Because they are pure. full of love. My two cats are my life. After reading through your emails, I feel as many of you think you are special. Better than others because you are more loving. I think this is wrong. I feel strongly that you are missunderstanding why you are here. We are all the same. I may be an earth angle but I have my faults. I still lie at times, I feel angry with people. I am even jelouse sometimes. so at the end of the day, I am human like everyone else. Even if I am more loving. I am no better than anyone else. Everyone is here for a reason, so are we. I am sure we have karmic lessons to learn like everyone else. Enjoy life as life is for living. I feel I am tied up with my life. All I want to do is to travel down to Africa and work with children but I can't. I have other responsibilities here. All I can do is to wait and see what life will bring me next.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Will Sunday, October 22, 2006 at 00:46:21 Reply: I am very much the same way. I inspire and enlighten people in the time that they need it. I too look around and feel very home sick but at the sametime also feel very connected with the creator. This is evident by the many miracles or answered players that the all mighty has answered. I know that this world, him and I are all one. He is a part of me and I am a part of him. Be strong and never lose faith, the time of change is here. Listen to the inner you the truth.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Monday, January 01, 2007 at 15:44:59 Reply: Namaste And blessings to you all... The earth needs earth angels like you now more than ever! As a wise one I can empathize with you about feeling connected (with the Divine Source) and disconnected (with humanity) at the same time. I sometimes feel like people have gotten completely away from their divine purpose. Part of an earth angel's life purpose is to help those that are lost find their way back to the light. It may come in a kind thought, a kind word, or by opening a door for them (physically or spiritually). You are the way showers...the light workers. As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Sunday, January 14, 2007 at 15:48:09 Reply: I am sorry to say that you all sound like medeval monks that believe Jesus the only true lord, but the fact is Jesus was an angel, he is my gudian ( I have been told this by a medium) the highest angel. Although why he would waste his time on me i would never know. I may be punished for the things that i have said, but i suffer unlike no other. I cannot withstand reality as it is. I cannot change reality as i feel empty and probably commit suiside. Reality won't change for me, so i will change reality. (Now i sound crazy) But when im sad i sit with the window open and let the breeze blow across my face and everything is better. No one controls me, no one guides me, no one helps, i do it all on my own. No one gives me messages. I see ghosts of people, people who are afraid, confused and sad. I see fallen angels in the sky and i am too far away to reach them. I see the light of an angel but scared it away and regret it ever since. But i am nothings so whats it worth. That sounded like a bit of a poem. Strane I have had this all of my short life, only being a teenager or young adult. All i ever wanted was a feather from an angel.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by KellyB Sunday, January 14, 2007 at 18:57:15 Reply: Sorry to hear you are so sad, You seem to know angels exist and that Jesus is our saviour and Lord but you don't seem to want their help. If you really want a change for the better then you have to ask them to help you and you have to believe and except their help. As for anyone controlling you, well you have your ego which is controlling you and will drive you crazy, or you could have your angels, spirit guide, arch angels,and of course the main man JESUS who wants to help you in any way possible. I am no saint and have troubles like everyone eles, but I also know there is a higher being who wants nothing but happiness for us. I pray you find what ever answers you are seeking and I wish you lots of love.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Sunday, January 14, 2007 at 19:27:19 Reply: Tiny angle wings There are many people around you that love and care about you...your family, loved ones, friends, and yes, God, the angels, and Christ (who was the embodiment of Jesus on Earth). Christ and God are always there for everyone who asks for help and guidance, and all prayers are answered by them. It sound like you are struggling with many things in your young life...and I encourage you to seek out help from someone you trust like your parent/s, a teacher, or a guidance counselor. No one is ever alone, everyone is someone special, and all are loved by God. Remember, EVERYONE has or has had problems in their life at one point or another. I am no exception. Though some things may seem overwhelming, things will and alway do change for the better. I have said a little prayer on your behalf. I hope you find all of the answers you are seeking. As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, January 15, 2007 at 07:17:29 Reply: May I point out that I have bad grammer and miss out words so becareful as you read. Thank you for all your kindness but i must say do not pray or send wishes. I do not believe in Jeus nor in god, but when I say god I mean angels. I love this planet as my home and when people say they want to go home, look around, you are home. Home is all around us not in one set place. I read about someone having terribile trouble in there life and i bet no one prayed for him, as the angels already knew. I understand a lot of things I really shouldn't understand, in no way do I understand people, but someone I know who could appricatie you prays and wishes, is a close friend. Hurt by a well, horribile guy is a nice way of putting it and she feels she can never love again. I've been trying to crack he thick shell of no love so she can be free. Sadness is a great thing in life cause how can you reconize happiness without. I never want to leave this home cause emotiones, the wind, the stars are a amazing thing to love for. Problems can come and go but the world around will always be here for the longest time. Out of curiosity, the world is getting warm and people are saying stop gloabal warming. In my mind I know its too late so what do you think will happen. Will we all burn or will we all freeze and balanced is restored. Make you descion soon as one of the things is coming soon. To finish off, I don't belong anywhere. No in the land of angels or as heaven as you call it, and I don't belong on this planet but here I will remind till the stars, the wind, the emotions die out.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by KellyB Monday, January 15, 2007 at 08:03:19 Reply: Sorry to hear that you are not a believer, and may I ask what you are seeking by coming to this board? Most of us here believe in our heavenly beings and we encourage others to do the same. Alot of us have seen the spirit world and I am one. I do not believe we were just thrown upon this earth without a plan, I mean how do you think you got here? As for the global warming, the disasters, the hurricanes, the tornadoes, I think alot of this is created from negative energy that man/woman kind is creating. I believe alot of all the maddness in the world that is caused by ourselves sends out alot of negative energy and causes alot of these destructive things to happen. We are of the spirit world in a human body and have adapted to the human ways. Step back from the human side and try to find your spiritual side and maybe you'll understand and believe that we are not alone that we have the spirit world all around us they are just on the other side of the curtain which is getting very thin. I believe when thin enough alot of people will be seeing the spiritual world and will not be ready for it. You sound very negative, even though you said no prayers, I will stay a little prayer for you however, if you are not willing to receive the good of prayer then I'm not sure if praying will do you any good. I hope I don't come across as being rude because I am not trying to be, I pray you get a sign from up above so that you can have a change of heart. Love and light KB
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, January 15, 2007 at 09:18:40 Reply: The only reason I found this messageboard is that I wandering what an Earth Angel is and by the looks I don't follow the rule (which I learnt from what I have read), yet I have been told that I am one. All I am seem to be is a little hope of light to others that are in darkness, mostly people that have just died. Anyway why does there have to be a plan, make up your own mind. Its our decsion to decided what to do and what not to do. I see the spitual world and my mind has not changed. I may have seen angels and excused them as bright white light that just happen to look like wings. I ask you this, do think science and spirtualality could co exist, if you say no, I am the proof of that its possibile. It is hard to do but its possibile. Also in no way are you being rude, if anything I am being rude.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by KellyB Monday, January 15, 2007 at 09:50:34 Reply: If you are a little hope of light to others that are in the dark then you are blessed to have the gift to help others. If you are seeing the spirit world then you have the gift of sight that God has given you. To transform from spirit to human then human to spirit is something only God can do, not you or I have that control. I think you are a wonderful person on the inside and, are just struggling to know the truth about some things. You may not be from here, you may not be the particular type of Earth Angel you think, you may be a Star Person, an Incarnated Angel, Incarnated Elementals which is another group of Earth Angels, or Walk Ins which is a type of Earth Angel. These are all types of earth angels groups who are highly intuitive, yet they often have difficulty trusting their intuition. I think you fall under one of these catagories and you can learn about each one if you chose to do so. I've been reading books that Doreen Virtue writes and she is an expert in this subject. She has a Ph.D and is a clairvoyant psychotherapist who works with the angelic realm. She offers alot of good info and if you like to read spiritual books I highly recommend hers. In Doreens Book Healing with the Angels she has decriptions of each earth angel. Let me know if you would like to know more about one of them and I will send you the info on it. Kelly
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Monday, January 15, 2007 at 09:53:29 Reply: Tiny Angel Wings...it seems to me that your wings are beginning to grow and streatch out...searching for something more. You seem so wise, yet so lost. Yes, there is a divine plan, and yes, you can make up your own mind...this is known as the comsic law of "free will." As far as the combination of science and spirituality co-existing...you bring up an excellent historical reference. Over the course of history, there have been civilizations that have been born and fallen, all whom have at one point merged the two ideas together only to seperate them later, and then merge them again. So, really, you are in good company. Science is based on facts, and god, the angels, and spirituality are based on faith. However, there are also certain things that science can explain, that is connected to spirituality. For example, most of the ancient civilizations like the Sumerians and the Myans whom were all very spiritual in nature, knew about the outter planets and their orbits and science didn't discover pluto until 1930 (now science is saying that pluto is no longer a planet). In fact, there are many who say that a 10th planet exists. So, yes, science and sprituality do have a connection...it's just that science is a bit behind. Most people are happy going about their everyday life, not knowing or wanting to hear all this stuff. They live under the guise of, "I'll have less of the truth and more of the illusion." As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, January 15, 2007 at 11:13:20 Reply: Now its all making sense. I amazed by the "it seems to me that your wings are beginning to grow and steatch out" cause I swear I can feel them half the time. Could also explain why I have a strong connection with the wind, like times where I wanted to jump out of the window (not to kill myslef) but fly. Is that possible? It was worth finding this :)
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Monday, January 15, 2007 at 11:52:34 Reply: I wouldn't recomending testing your theory... But, many people do work during their sleep with the angels, their higher self, the acended masters and such and you may be simply remembering how your soul travels around, and back and forth from your body at night. The wind is very freeing...and there is an archangle that govern it (the air), as well as, the other three elements of water, fire, and earth (which are mentioned in many cultures from china to the Native Americans) . Maybe by feeling the breeze on your face, you are somehow "remembering" and connecting to the divine. But really, this is a question that only you can answer for yourself. Please DON'T just take anyone's word for it here on this site. I encourage you to continue your search for yourself on this earth, and your place on it. Take what resonates with you and dicard the rest. Rememeber, we are all on our own spiritual journey, searching as you are. As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, January 15, 2007 at 12:25:15 Reply: Yes, i do work while i sleep, although the blend or curtain i think you call it between the spirtual and reality are getting stringer or weaker, so could my theroy be possibile? Also what does it mean when you see a blue light, woken by a red light.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Monday, January 15, 2007 at 13:39:45 Reply: Are you talking about flying to be your theory? If so, then I don't think so. No human has the ability to "fly" in our current bodies. In order to fly, simple physics says that your arm-span need to be twice as long as your body, which, they are not. Though I have heard of a very small number of yogis being able to levitate. I have no opinion on this, as I know of no one who can do this, nor have I researched it. Usually when one sees colored points of light, including white, they are seeing angles. Have you ever heard of the philisophical debate of "How many angels can fit on the head of a pin"? As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by KellyB Monday, January 15, 2007 at 13:47:53 Reply: Hey there I am glad Starseed has stepped in and helped you out. I'm just a rookie in all of this.

I would say it wasn't happy, either that or shocked.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Sunday, February 04, 2007 at 08:49:19 Reply: I don't know where to go now. By the next full moon i could die. A prediction that keeps being reinforced by tarot cards, the news, the wind. I thought the next full moon was when the orthodontists was going to pull my teeth out but it has come out far worse. Soon a world disaster as well, when winter returns by the next full moon, be prepared. I guess my only reason for me being here was warn the near end (the planet forgives us for our mistakes and willing to give us another change). There maybe be away to live on but its looking more to the end. The wind will stop blowing. Apparently its sue, to me helping someone love again, me trying to break the bounds of reality, and suffering (tarot cards). I can't believe its all going to end.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Sunday, February 04, 2007 at 12:12:50 Reply: Tiny Angel Wings How long have you been working with tarrot cards? Are they new or did someone give them to you? What card do you keep getting that makes you think that the world, or your world, is ending? The tarrot is a very complex system of divination. Cards do not necessarily mean what the words or pictures show. Example: I woke up one morning a few months ago on the day of my friend's funeral. She had cancer and left behind three boys, all under the age of 13. A vision appeared to me as I lay in bed, not wanting to face the day. It began as a mist of fog that was coming in from the lower left and moving to the upper right. As the fog began to lift there appeared a skull and cross bones...it completely filled the space in my mind. My mind, my ego, told me that it was validating my friend's death. Later that morning I picked up the tarrot deck and got the "death" card. I later found out that this was NOT the case at all. If someone is going to die then psychics pick it up as seeing someone either holding a diploma or wearing a graduation cap...not by a skull and crossbones. So, my skull and cross bones had a much different messeage for me and I had jumped to the wrong conclusion. And well, yes. There are many terrible things happening in our world...more so now than ever. It is soooo sad that people have gotten so far away from their Divine purpose. So, you need to rememeber all that is good in this world. All that is bright, beautiful, and full of life. Laughing children, puppy dogs wagging their tails, people having picnics with family, friends hanging out at the mall. Thoughts of Love and Light are VERY powerful and in great need right now. Oh, and by the way...life NEVER ends for us, and though we may think we suffer and are fearful, this is only an illusion. As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Sunday, February 04, 2007 at 15:40:43 Reply: I have been working with tarot cards for quite awhile. I understand basics and know to look beyond the meaning and the picture, but the cards fit. If i remember correctly it was: Knight of wands, Reversed: Dialed journey 4 of Swords, Up-right: Hospital X Wheel of Fortune, Reversed: Bad luck and the question asked, what will happen on the next full moon (by the way, it was no vision, it came to me) Just from the meaning it seems death is inedible, but then taking account the wheel in the picture, spinning, I have a possibility to live. The swords, just what happening now. I'm a bit worried that this phrase, "the wind will stop blowing" keeps appearing everytime I say if I die (voice in head)
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Coralbea Tuesday, February 06, 2007 at 13:50:25 Reply: Hi Tiny Angels wings, I just watched a tv show called The Secret. it is all about manifesting your life. What you put out there comes back to you for the Universe only want to make us happy so if you are constantly thinking thoughts of doom and lack that is what the universe thinks you want and so it is. Try to find the program and watch it. try to always think positive and loving thoughts, our thoughts are very powerful. Think about the type of life you want and manifest it. It will happen if you truly want it too. Love and LIght Helen
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by KellyB Wednesday, February 07, 2007 at 06:40:25 Reply: I never watch tv, except for American Idol or a few programs in the afternoon like People's court or the other Judge ones. Reason I don't watch tv is because it's to depressing, they have crazy stuff on there and people start believing and trying to act upon what they see. I don't watch scary movies at all, Life can be a nightmare as it is so, why add to it.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Wednesday, February 07, 2007 at 08:58:20 Reply: From what Coralbea says, I want to die, really? And the Universe wants me to be happy. If you believe that fine, but the universe is filled with matter that creates our existence. Also to know happiness you would have to know sadness, cause will you figure out the difference. Nothing really wants to make us happy except ourselves but there are those beings that will help you to achieve it. TV is just imaginative world, but can be full of info (news).
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Coralbea Wednesday, February 07, 2007 at 12:59:21 Reply: I don't think i said anything about you wanting to die did I? If so I do appologise that is not what I meant at all. As for the other all I mean is that we are all responsible only for us. In the bible some where it says you reap what you sow and that is so true. Nobody or nothing is responsible for your thoughts or happiness but you. I have known great sadness in my life but again I suppose that we all think that nobody has gone through what we have so every one has a different view on what is a terrible experience for them. It does not matter if it sounds insignificant to others if it is affecting you then it is a major issue, but you are the only one that can do anything about it. I pulled myself up by my boot straps and got on with it used my experience to help other through similar and improved my life. You can too. Kelly you are so right I hardly watch TV at all I never watch the news I never buy gossip mags It is all full of negative stuff and I am a better person for it. I read inspirational books and learn as much as I can to try and help others which inturn helps me. Only we are responsible for our happiness :)

Everything is giving me an answer, an answer that if i believe it that makes my mind uncontrolable. Apparently I vey special (and I mean special) that I can't beieve. I grew getting use to people being better then me, then things have to say that and throw a spanner in the works. Apparently I have great power, like a wizard, but the only thing im able to do is predict, bring rain or shine, see ghosts, and have this annoying weird sense that i can't understand (so i try to ignore it) and i am suppose to move matter with mind, so far no luck. Apparently I am going to die soon. From what I can gather, Im here to save humanity, give it another chance bu fixing the problems man has caused (mostly the climate). Apparently there is great amount of energy inside me as well. All these things are just unbelieveable and its driving me nuts. I know nothing is impossibile but im worried it would go straight to my head, grow a big ego, and go insane. Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on? PS. sorry about my language

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Coralbea Sunday, February 25, 2007 at 12:56:41 Reply: TinyAngelWings. Who has told you all this? Is it coming from a human source?? First I am going to suggest that you talk to someone, be it a friend who can HELP you by being brutally honest with you, a therapist or maybe someone in the metaphysical field such as a healer choose your confidante carefully. What is is that You feel? Forget about having "powers" etc go within to your soul and talk to yourself find out what is going on. Truthfully God would not give you the assignment to save the world TinyAngelWings it took millions of people and hundreds of years to get this way I don't think that one small being can save the lot?? You will however do all you can to play your part but take that pressure off your self it is not your duty!!! Your duty is to look after you and do the best for you, grow in spirit and learn all you can about you, send out the love from with in and it will come back to you 10 fold. Forget about being a great wizard and just find the real you. Start listening to your soul your higher self first and forget every thing else you have been told. At the dawn of the new day Start from scratch. Get out in nature forget about controlling anything and just appreciate Gods gifts to you. Have some fun be free just for one day and then see how you feel. God will not give you more than you can handle TinyAngelWings remember that, as for every one being better than you??? Take a look around you do you truly believe that?? If you do then only you can change that thought pattern. Walk in harmony with you Love and LIght Helen
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Sunday, February 25, 2007 at 13:55:45 Reply: This made me cry. I was told by myslef. The is the only place to talk, i did kow someone spitrually but family relations broke it apart. I feel a sense. I go through the future, through my eyes, but all i see is black. I have this feeling, something isn't right, just something. I nearly commited suside, i saw death as i fell to sleep (i was suppose to die, but something kept me going) when i woke up the next day the world glowed in celebration. In what i know, I will save the planet which inturn may save the mankind. Its a chance for the kind to change. Its no pressure. I know myslef very well. I know my soul and being wise I learn quick. I cannot be free, the postion in won't let me. I can't just leave school, leave home knowing there is nothing there. I have trapped myslef because of this. Not even riding through my area helps anymore. I can never be free. I can handle pretty much everything.And belief is what im questioning. Part of me says it makes snese in myslef but place it in reality and its chaos and insanity. I walk my own path but i flow with the river. I have not much time. Im only a light of hope that is burning out. There is no longer anything to live for. There was once love but I mistakened it. I don't know what to wake up for. I am sick, my body has uncontrolable spasms from energy, which i try to control but the dose gets bigger. My world is collapsing beneath my feet and soon the strain of staying up will fall. All i fear is i'll fall asleep and won't wake up.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by RjjA Monday, February 26, 2007 at 09:05:32 Reply: Hi TinyAngelWings "All i fear is i'll fall asleep and won't wake up." This last line suggests you have a very powerful energy which has to be channelled into some form of creativity. If you had read the messages above wearing a hat of �understanding� you would have seen that all of them are pulsating with �CREATIVITY.� You are on the threshold of realising this. If you learn to breathe into you abdomen like you did when you came out of your mother�s womb then you will discover you can CHANGE your soul from negative to positive. Then and only then can you help to CHANGE the world. Read the three quotes I have posted �..over and over and as you learn to breathe as a child you will learn how to move mountains WITHIN and truly understand Ralph Waldo Emerson�s words:- �What lies before us, and what lies behind us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.� Experience this and you will be like a guy I gave this advice to 5 years ago when he was struggling to escape from the effects of 6 street drugs and suicidal depression. He has cured himself inside and is now HELPING to cure the world outside. He moved THE MOUNTAIN. Then I expect to read on this message board....Thank you .....LARGE ANGEL WINGS.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, February 26, 2007 at 11:50:27 Reply: That is very good advice. I concentrate on what's behind (which I assume is the past) but my past connects to my future. I find links thats helps me stands. But i mostly concentrate on what lies inside, to find ways of using this energy. I try to bring fantsey into this real world. Matter can be monipilated if you know how. What you have said explains a lot. I draw to get some sort of fantsey into this world. Supernatrual is suppose to exist, defire logic and sense, but for some reason its hidden, locked away. On a bright side i think i have avoided death again. My breath was suppose to be stolen but i woke the next day. All thanks to an anime "Elfen Lied". Watch half of it one night and watched the rest of it today. I couldn't face going into 6th Form today. Im not sure I can go in tomorrow. Strange I can grub a cup with my mind and clearly see if flux as I try and move it. I can't move it, though. Just thought I say that.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Monday, February 26, 2007 at 14:03:54 Reply: But I want to point out something. The energy is not always creative. It couples with emotions, reproduces and almost bursting out of me. I don't know what to do with it. It has gotten worse, reaching the point of awakening.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by RjjA Monday, February 26, 2007 at 23:39:14 Reply: Hi TAW. Are you eating the �right kind of food�? � Are you thanking your food? Get your breathing right. Visualise you are on a beach�.NOT a earth beach, but YOUR beach. Find a large flat rock and sit on it. Look at YOUR sea. Is it calm or rough? If it is rough or even choppy, put your right hand up, and move from left to right across the sea and say �Be calm�. You will find after doing this you are able to control your EMOTIONS. If you take the E off of emotion you have ENERGY plus MOTION. So you become master of this energy. It cannot flop about turning motion into EMOTION��and ultimately CHAOS. Do this at least twice a day�.even if the sea looks calm.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 06:53:30 Reply: Yes, yes...creativity, eating heathy, breath, and finding that calm relaxing place by our ocean, are all VERY important...and good advice...for all whom are taking the journey "within." My creativity comes in the form of watercolors. I have found it a MUST so that my energy can find it's own wonderful flow around, down my arm, and out my brush onto the paper below. Creating the wonderous images that are within. Breathing correctly is soooo improtant. All spiritual paths to enlightenment include proper breath work and is very important. A must. Breath is Prana light energy...all through your dantiem...life center. You can also bless your food and water. Simply by holding your left hand up in the air with your four fingers pointing to the sky...say a little prayer or blessing...then bring your hand down and touch your glass / food. All food is energy. I find that my water tastes sweeter after a blessing. If people could put on special glasses to see in other relms...they would understand how powerful their thoughts are and the chain of events they set. They would be much more carful in choosing the higher thoughts. Thoughts / imagination ARE REAL. Remember, earth angels are beautiful souls having a human experience. We all have that same beauty within each of us, and each of us has a beautiful destiny to fullfill. We are all here to help eachother find the light witin. Create YOUR day As Above So Below
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Tuesday, February 27, 2007 at 07:25:33 Reply: I would like to point out, I've only one contact with an angel (while i was dreaming) work up and saw, then she flew off or relly dived into the floor. (2 storey house) All I ever see is light and assume there just listening. At the moment I cannot walk a path as I'm going through rapids in a river. It chucks me against rocks which causes a lot of problems. But its seems to be that I reached a carm point but there is another rapid ahead. Im starting to believe that my only way out of these rapids is to understand this other snese and it has something to do with the full moon, which (at the point of writing this) 2 days away. First I was suppose to be in hospital but I have seemed to avoided that and death. What the hell is going on? This sense is keeping me alive with out realiseing it. "The ocean is always carm even on stormy days" Sleep seems to have helped alot as well. But there is always this dam feeling im missing something or/and something gone wrong I just wish someone would tell me what. 5 predictions: (beginning of 2006) 1. Continue with Ainme (done) 2. World of fantsey and imaginatin comes true (is that posibile in reality) 3. World disaster 4. Protect the love/d one (that '/' is suppose to be there) 5. Haven't worked out but it seems to suggest History The answers are on the web but i don't know where to look. (I would like to know myslef why I worte all that, dam sense) Enery, Emotions, and Matter are all linked. Chaos is a form that has these bundle together and are not suppose to make sense. There is no need to calm an ocean that is already calm. The mind, body and spirt are linked but the chaos is not controlled. Chaos flow through the blood and air, it is that which he cannot understand. His chaos is imagination which he lives in day in and out. He is chaos. Chaos will not be controlled by no one, so the angels only watch and dare not even speak to him. Chaos has a voice in the world but no one will listen. He does not realise I've been waiting long to speak out and give him something to read, give you something to read.All this has caused problems that were unforseen but seen enough to avoid death which is the only outcome. Silenceing chaos will cause great safty in the world but may cause great harm as well. They may and try to kill him but I'll keep him alive till aternity. You see my words full of energy. Take a breath and beware as it maybe you last. Chaos is the answer.

To look in particular at how John Constable with his MIND turned tubes of paint in CHAOS, into the worlds greatest landscape painting � The Haywain. By the way YOUR SEA is NOT calm. How do I know? Ask Starseed she will tell you.
	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 06:43:48 Reply: Tiny Angle Wings Look back at the above postings and re-read all...all are trying to help you understand with an open heart. Yes, RjjA, too, has an AMAZING ability to see and help others. However, others can only help...it is you who must stop entertaining negative thoughts and begin to focus on the positive to begin helping yourself. RjjA is right...your ocean / sea in NOT calm. Your chaos "within" is reflected in your stormy sky. Also, just as the saying goes: you are what you eat....as such...your experiences are what you think. You may want to take some time off your Anime...and live in the here and now to help you regain some control in your life so that you can distinguish between the like. Who is in control? You or your Anime? Ideas to keep in mind: Use from tabacco, alchohol, and drugs...for some people even caffine, slow & lower your vibrations. Meditation would be good practice for you to find your inner calm...and then visit your ocean / sea. You may also want to chant some sacred sound and vocalize the positive statements...focus on the postive rather than the negative in life. What we focus on becomes our reality. Postivie statements such as, "I AM calm and relaxed within," etc. You may also want to do some chord cutting with Archangel Michael...negativity cobwebs and all. Protect yourself...with a bright white bubble to keep out the lower negative (4th dimentional) vibrations. Ask the angels for help...they are happy to intervene on your behalf but you MUST ask for it. Art / creativity is very liberating...as it comes from altered states of consciousness and if your opening the doorway you have ultimate control what happens to you. Quit entertaining negative thoughts...you are empowering them. Once you take control of your thought and vibrations you have a lot of goodnes to offer others and to help the world.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by TinyAngelWings Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 08:14:21 Reply: I'll speak on behalf of TinyAngleWings. I know the ocean is calm. It is beacause it is coverd in ice. Frozen ceilled away with clear blue skies. Trying to beak the ice is vast strong currents. The Storm is inside the ocean not in the sky. Imagination is the key. Chaos is converted into a world, it gives life. Chaos comes from negative thoughts. I entertain them to convert them into postive ones for others. Thats why Im sad and every one is happy around me.Someone needs to do this on this planet all we would have died ages ago. I've realize this now, why the world speaks, why ghost come to me. I convert negative into postive. So do not speak of thinking postive or a lot of people will suffer. The most evil of people float in great darkness absorbing all the light that I seem to sigh of, but this causes problems for them as well. Im just trying to use the energy in another way.

	RE: The Earth Angel Posted by Starseed Wednesday, February 28, 2007 at 18:09:04 Reply: Tiny Angel Wings I will leave you now with one last thought / idea... It is very possible that you are carrying over a past life experience as a "sin eater" which now no longer serves you. Talk about living groundhogs day over and over (Karmic looping). For those whom don't know what a sin eater is here is a section cut and pasted from Wikipedia: The term sin-eater refers to a person who, through ritual means, would take on by means of food and drink the sins of a deceased person, thus absolving his or her soul and allowing that person to rest in peace. Sin-eating is a form of religious magic, part of the study of folklore. This is similar to the religious ceremony of the scape-goat which was once a part of the ceremonies of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Judaism.[1] This practice was once common in many parts of England and Scotland, and survived until recent years in Wales. Traditionally, it is performed by a beggar and certain villages maintained their own sin-eaters. They would be brought to the dying person's bedside, where a relative would place a crust of bread on the breast of the dying and pass a bowl of ale to him over the corpse. After praying or reciting the ritual, he would then drink and remove the bread from the breast and eat it, the act of which would remove the sin from the dying person and take it into himself.[citation needed] The act of being a sin-eater was considered a cardinal sin by the Roman Catholic Church because it purported to provide absolution outside the sacramental purview of the priesthood, and resulted in immediate excommunication.[citation needed] The 1926 book Funeral Customs by Bertram S. Puckle mentions the sin-eater: "Professor Evans of the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, actually saw a sin-eater about the year 1825, who was then living near Llanwenog, Cardiganshire. Abhorred by the superstitious villagers as a thing unclean, the sin-eater cut himself off from all social intercourse with his fellow creatures by reason of the life he had chosen; he lived as a rule in a remote place by himself, and those who chanced to meet him avoided him as they would a leper. This unfortunate was held to be the associate of evil spirits, and given to witchcraft, incantations and unholy practices; only when a death took place did they seek him out, and when his purpose was accomplished they burned the wooden bowl and platter from which he had eaten the food handed across, or placed on the corpse for his consumption. So, now repeat after me Tiny Angel Wings: "I hear by sever any vows of suffering, self sacrifice, or retrubution that I may have made, in all directions of time. I rescind any negative effects of these vows now and forever." Write down your new mantra and post it in a place in your home. Repeat it whenever you feel the need. Many people have tried to help you here on this message board...you now must help yourself to move forward in your life. Ultimately you are the only one who has the power to empower yourself, if that is your wish, otherwise...these are all only words on a message board. As Within So Without

I like everything about me, aslong i can recover from the deepest lows. Today I walked out of my house and the world was glowing but before i was walking home it was as cold as hell. The one thing that changed it was the blueness of the sky and warm breezes. Also today i moved a cup of projected the thought of moving the cup it only twisted slightly but its a beginning. And to actually think about it, all i came here to ask was what this weird sense I had and how to move mind over matter. Thinking how you all seem to speak to angels i thought I could find. I seem to mostly figured it out myslef. Just reading everyone words, i grew angrey only cause i wanted to come out with something they you could not reply in with spitrual meaning instead something like, "you got me," but you kept coming back. Another thing i hoped to see was something like, "an angel told..." but hay everyone doesn't get what they want. It takes the time to fully see, breath, feel, and understand. My steps seem to set themselevs right on a rapid flowing path. A sin-eater takes other sins. I may have some similarties to that but I do much more. This I haven't quite figured out but the wind will always blow with me. The world would die if i died. Chaos is the answer because there are no others. Please try to understand the phrases I have said. My ways are different to yours but those phrases signify something that I hope you all mediate and look deep into them and reply witn an answer. "wind will always blow with me." "The world would die if i died." "Chaos is the answer because there are no others." Point: words are never words, black and white, they are an art form.

We are all here to experience negativity for there is no such thing in the spirit world. We chart our own lives, everything we encounter is because we need it for our spiritual growth. So when people say that they don't want to be here or they do them selves fatal harm they are infact dishonouring God by breaking that sacred contract. The sacred contract that you created with God so that He/She could help us to learn what WE say we need to learn to be better stronger more understanding and loving etc. God knows we are perfect just the way we are for we are created in the likeness of God, a perfect spiritual being. We are also human and have many of the failings that go with that title, so we may be judgemental and intolerant at time and that is ok if we then learn from our experiences. If we don't learn then it is only to our own detriment, no body elses for at the end of the day We all face ourselves and our creator. We are all entitled to our opinions, and you don't need to appologise for anybody else. They are responsible for their actions just as you are responsible for yours. Ask your self this What good are you doing God while you are sitting there moaning about wanting to go home, that you are too good and pure for this world and being ashamed of how others are treating Gods beautiful creation Mother Earth. Instead Ask God this every morning. How may I serve you today Father what is it that I can do for you??? Then listen to His answer. Get on with the purpose you chose to incarnate for, honour the contract you made with God and live life don't waste it because if you don't learn it this time you will be back again.!! We all let our egos get in the way sometimes no body is better that anybody else we are all spirit. Some choose light and some not. May you alway walk in harmony with your angels

But then I always hear my guides telling me that there's work to be done,I feel as if I am too pure like an earth angel. My well I took the aura test the questionnair and it said my aura is purple! I have been very curious about whether I am an earth angel lately myself. I feel I certainly could be. I have experienced much suffering in my life, have always had a strong affinity with angels, and never was capable of defending myself when I was ridiculed at a younger age. It just wasn't in me. Even later on, when I was schooled on the wits of verbally defending myself, it still didn't feel like me. I was teased like how Jesus was mocked and and later called a witch! I said I am not a witch! Then I got so angery my friend whom believes he is an earth angel too he said um sweety calm down your eyes are turning red. One of the girls in my high school she is bisexual yea discusting anyways she witnessed it and said aloud your not human! She screamed and ran down the hall and said there is something weird about me. I didnt feel like the others I felt unhuman like an earth angel or something.I was touched by your message AWISH, I too was choosen to be here at this time I am still wondering what though. I have been alone in the preasents of many all my life.Well, it just seems that way. I preach like John the baptist I always say and yell out REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS AT HAND! Like that and I am very attracted to churches and spiritual things, even helping gays see that God made adam and eve not adam and adam and eve and eve! Do Earth angels come from heaven? Where Jesus's apstoles the 12 Simon Peter, Bartholemue, Andrew,Matthias the replacement of Judas,Thomas, Pual, John, Simon, ect.Are they too earth angles? I dont have normal dreams either I have all biblical. I dream of heaven (home) and I am flying with the angels and happy I am flying within the clouds with them. I feel joyous happy hope love everlasting! Awish is that how you feel. I am here for you buddy. Take your control your power back dont let any one tell you that your crazy cause your not I believe in you believe in yourself! We are one of the few that are sent here by God the divine. Love and Light Jacqueline

Humans have free will.I am not a believer of God due to a bit of research of falling angels and that he made humans in his own image, but you are a famillar being. I would say your an Earth Angel but there's something else, a demon maybe, longing to go back home to heaven. That explains the red eyes and the strong religous beliefs. Trying to prove yourslef as a worthy Earth Angel can help you get back to where you want to be.

Believe that everything that ever happened in human history prepared people for something called "rapture". Where heaven opens and all of humanity will see what your goverment and your churches blind His people. For the goverment controls peoples minds, and the church controls their souls....! The Voice of Michael If we take the term "Michael the archangel" and examine the word "archangel," we see another interesting match. The only other passage in the Bible that uses the word "archangel" is 1 Thessalonians 4:16. But look at its context. "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first." It is the voice of the archangel that raises the dead in Christ, and the Lord Himself who shouts it. This indicates that they are one and the same. Jesus is the one who shouts with the voice of the archangel, or "Greatest Messenger," to raise the dead! >) Warrior of Light I asked once to see a Angel just so there's something for me to believe. I was sleeping one night and I saw a light in the distance. Everything around was dark. Then this light moved closer to me, I remember squinting. Then when this light was really close,,,, It was the brightest I ever saw,,, I woke. I woke and the inside of my body was vibrating, voilently.

Strange.... My Friend told me he had dreams of waiting in line with people. What seemed like eternity,,, he was called to the front. As he walked by all these people in line, he heard them say "Who is he, why was he called." Then he stood in front of someone and a door. And was asked what he saw in his lifetime. Then the door opened and he saw leaves,, plants,, flowers. He said it was like nothing here on earth. He than walked through the door and woke up. I had similar dreams. I had some other dreams that were always the same but diferent somehow. These dreams came to me when I was a boy. When my friend talked about these dreams he had,, I asked him when did he have these. He told me ever since he was young. Mine and he's dreams were very very much alike. What does this mean? Anyways, take care.

When I left my body I heard two spirits talking behind me while I was suspended in mid air.

I was concious but my body couldn't respond. I started to get alittle scared wondering to myself whats going on. I remember yelling to get up, trying to move or somthing. My body was not responding. I felt trapped in the same position I fell asleep. I remember thinking, I'll wake soon so I struggled some more before giving up. and I finally woke. But I tried to get upto stretch, and I had trouble. I tried to rub my eyes and my arms went the other direction. After I got theat under control I tried to rub my eyes, my right hand went above my right eye and my left went below my left. I finally got up, and walking was a different story. This happened atleast 3-4 times to me. Anything like this happen anyone else? Our way is not soft grass, it's a mountain path with lots of rocks. But it goes upwards, forward, toward the sun.

Angels can spell wrath upon the human race okay! And yes there is something wrong with bies and homosexuals there sinning! And FYI dont ever say I am demonic or a fallen angel cause I am not. I am a christian and a child of God. Also if I would of known better I say you were non christian! And non Christians are heathens and pagans to the lord Tiny angel wings!If your not Christian and Dont have Jesus as your savior and God I wont say your going to Hell. But if you dont have him fully as your God and if you dont read the christian bible tough luck kid your going to hell! And I am an adult dont talk to your adults like that respect them, What happens to those who believe and follow God and Jesus? Well we go to heaven duh! Oh and honey If you do not believe unto God as the father and Jesus as God's son, you will not go to heaven. God made that very clear in His word the Bible when he told us that "whoever does not believe [in Jesus] stands condemned ... Do your self a favor get a therapist and seek God get a bible and a church that is christian for once! And as for christians we are not stupid and demons I just was pist that day! Can't an incarnate Angel get pist! Based on Jesus' teachings and other sources of revelation, Christians believe that God created human beings to live eternally in fellowship with him. The future as described in the Bible includes the resurrection of all people, a judgement, and eternal life in either heaven or hell. Since I am a christian that is what I believe! All major Christian traditions say that in the end everyone will end up in either heaven or hell. At first glance, it sounds like we won't be held accountable for what we did, as long as we manage to meet the minimal criteria for ending up in heaven. In fact there are several ways of maintaining some kind of accountability. Catholics believe in something called "purgatory". This is a "place" (not necessarily an actual physical place, of course) where those who will end up in heaven are purified. Traditional Catholic theology says that when God forgives sins, he removes the guilt. However there may still be consequences. One of those consequences is that "temporal punishment" is still owed. The goal of this punishment is to be cleansed, and made fit for heaven. Note that purgatory only applies to people who will be admitted into heaven. It is not part of hell, nor is it some kind of intermediate state between heaven and hell. It is in a sense the entranceway into heaven. Traditionally, Catholics believe it is appropriate to pray for those that are in purgatory. These prayers, as well as masses said for them, etc, may in some way ease their process of purgation. This is one aspect of the general Catholic concept that those on earth and those in heaven retain a spiritual connection with each other. (This is called the "communion of saints".) Those on earth may ask for intercession from the saints, and may intercede for those in purgatory. Protestants do not normally accept the concept of purgatory but as for you it seems like you will be in there for a long time and if you dont except Jesus as God and savior your left behind hun! With the antichrist that is soon to rule the earth and rise to political power! And you will have to were his mark which equals to 666!Why Does Hell Exist? Currently there is a good deal of discussion among Christians about the morality of hell: it is said that a good God would not condemn people to an eternity of torture. However that has been the belief of most Christians through most of Christian history. It seems to be supported by the Biblical account. The alternative seems about as bad: that God will force himself on people who do not want him. Note that it is not necessary to say that God imposes hell as punishment. It may be the automatic (indeed logically unavoidable) consequence of rejecting God. It is not clear that God makes it intentionally unpleasant. It may be the nature of the people who are there, and the fact that they are finally given what they want: freedom from God. Many criticisms of judgement suggest that it is arrogant to say that Christian ideas are true and others are false. "How can you be so arrogant to believe that Christians will go to heaven and everyone else will go to hell." As we will see below, most Christians don't believe this. However the idea that this is arrogant seems odd. We do not criticize mathematics teachers for saying that 2 + 2 is always 4, and that believing sincerely in 5 is not acceptable. Either there is a God or there isn't. Either Christ died to save us or he didn't. If he did, it's hard to see how it can be arrogant to say so. If he didn't, then Christians are wrong, but not arrogant. I would say that ultimately hell is a result of the "hardness" of created reality. Let me try to explain: Christianity believes that the universe has a real existence, and that it is distinct from God. (This is a specific position, which not all religions and philosophies accept. For some, there isn't a real distinction between God and the universe.) In order to provide us with a region in which we can make our own decisions and take our own actions, God set up a universe that operates under dependable laws. Possibly there are other ways he could have worked. But we don't know of any other way to set things up so that we have real lives of our own. The existence of a real universe with dependable laws has consequences. One of those consequences is the fact that people can have incorrect ideas. If they misunderstand the way the universe works, damage may result. Most of us understand this in the realm of science and engineering. There is no reason that theology should be different. If there weren't any distinction between truth and falsehood, nor any consequences to error, we would be living in an amorphous mess (the metaphysical equivalent of "gray goo"). There would be no way to live sensibly. The standard Christian position is that salvation is only available through Christ. This isn't because God is biased towards Christians. Rather, it's a consequence of the way the universe works. Heaven is by definition eternal life with God. But Christ is God's way of establishing relationships between human beings and himself. He is the divine logos, the agent of creation. It is inherently impossible to be with God without being in Christ. If a human being somehow managed to be in God's presence bypassing Christ, that person would be unmade. The only alternatives I can see to hell are for God to arrange for everyone to accept Christ, or for him to destroy everyone who does not. As you'll see below, each of these alternatives has its supporters. However most Christians believe that if everyone ends up choosing God, human existence is a sham: God loaded the dice to such an extent that there were no real human decisions. Most Christians also believe that a part of us is immortal. For God to destroy it would be an interference in the created order that would seriously violate its integrity. Before judging these issues, I'd ask you to look at some additional considerations. There is a substantial minority view, which says that God will find some way to reach everyone. This is called "universalism". A few 20th Cent thinkers have also suggested that those who are not destined for heaven are simply destroyed. This is called "annihilationism". Even for the 21st cent thinkers! Most Christians think that both of these alternative views are ruled out by teachings in the Bible. Jesus himself speaks of judgement, and of "Gehenna" and "the outer darkness". While most Christians reject universalism and annihilationism as doctrines, many orthodox Christians hold positions that are very close. Let's look at them briefly: There is no statement in the Bible about how many will be damned if you dont clean up your ACT YOU WILL BE DAMNED TO HELL TINY ANGEL WINGS. When someone asks Jesus this, he deflects the question. He does say that the way to salvation is narrow, and that many follow the road to destruction which is broad and huge. However we can still hope that in the end God will deflect those on the easy road to destruction. I believe universalism as a doctrine is unorthodox, but hope for all is possible. Heaven and hell are not a matter of totaling up good deeds and bad deeds and seeing which predominates. From the Christian perspective, if it comes to merit, no one merits heaven, and we've all done enough bad for hell to be justified. However God doesn't want anyone to end up in hell. Anyone who depends upon him for rescue will be saved from hell. God chooses us We respond with faith, which basically means that we rely on God for salvation God forgives us, and simultaneously starts renewing us and getting rid of our sin There is certainly a connection between faith and being good: Faith is our side of the bond that connects us to God. God will use that connection to regenerate us and get rid of our sin. The process isn't finished in this life, but it certainly is started. Christians should be better than if they weren't Christians. Jesus said that you will know his followers by the fruit that they bear. Here's one thing to think about: What happens to someone who is relatively good in this life, but who does not have faith? Unfortunately, he may end up in hell. In theory this person could be the best person who ever lived (except Jesus, who was without sin). The problem is that by not having faith, they do not have the connection through which God will take care of their remaining sin. Even though there aren't very many visible problems, they (and the underlying addiction to sin of which they are symptoms) can't be dealt with. Thus this person can't be made fit for heaven. Now the obvious response to this is: so why shouldn't people just go ahead and be evil, if heaven isn't based on being good? Thats what you sound like to me! While heaven isn't a reward for reaching a certain quota of good acts, you won't get in unless you have a relationship with God through which you can be renewed. Someone who says "let me be evil for my whole life, and repent at the last minute" and that is what you sound like Tiny angel wings almost certainly isn't going to be capable of repenting in any way that does the person any good. In having that intention,the person has already rejected the kind of faith that is needed for salvation. Strictly speaking, heaven isn't even a reward for having faith. It's not that God is rewarding you for faith and blessing you with graces and punishing you for not having faith. Rather, it's that God uses a certain kind of relationship in order to make you fit for heaven. Faith is a key part of that relationship. If you're sloppy about building a bridge it may fall down.And that is what your doing! Nature isn't consciously punishing you. It's just the way the universe is built. In my view, one of the spiritual laws of the universe is that in order to end up in heaven, you have to have justifying faith (not just intellectual belief in the Trinity Father God. Jesus Christ the son, and the Holy Ghost-- justifying faith means that you rely on and commit yourself to God as your savior). The Christian life involves a number of different aspects. Among the key ones are Fellowship with God Our relationships with others Obedience to God's commands Discipline Many of these things are less visible and harder to talk about than other topics in these essays. However for most Christians they are most important. It is easy to talk about the Trinity, the appropriateness of baptizing infants, Catholic/Protestant differences about justification, and all the rest. The religion newsgroups are filled with such discussion. More conventional news is full of the political side, such as abortion and the rights of homosexuals. But being a disciple of Jesus is primarily shown in less exciting and visible things, such as learning to live with others, the discipline of daily prayer life, fighting urges for anger, and maintaining sexual purity. These things are largely common to Christians from all traditions. The Goal Christianity is about personal relationships: with God and with others. When Jesus was asked to summarize his religion, he said that it was loving God and our neighbor. Everything else is a means to that end. This page will discuss a number of specific techniques, including difficult practices such as repentance and self-discipline. I am concerned that the overall impact may be to make Christianity look like an unpleasant or dreary religion. It is not. The techniques I discuss here are means to an end. They are intended to promote growth, healing, and reconciliation. However the reason we discipline ourselves and all the rest is to improve the quality of our relationships with God and with other people. This issue is dealt with clearly in the following passage from one of Paul's letters in the Bible: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. One of the most important terms for Christians is "fellowship". This term covers our life together as Christians. This means first of all that we spend time together, in worship, educational activities, service to others, and just having fun. In addition to their primary goal, these activities help us get to know each other, and to develop into a community. The Bible refers to the Christian community using organic metaphors, such as a vine and a body. It talks about us sharing with each other and supporting each other. When people think of Christianity they sometimes think of it as a set of prohibitions: "Why do Baptists not have sex standing up? Because it might lead to dancing." Fortunately, this is a joke. However sometimes Christians actually have gotten carried away with rules. Rules of behavior have turned into an end in themselves, rather than ways of protecting us so that we can develop better relationships. However good sense normally prevails in the end. While rules should never be the focus of Christian life, they do exist. Many people find it hard to understand any kind of self-discipline and any kind of limits on behavior. But Christians do avoid some things in order to allow a deeper and more joyful kind of fellowship. The specific things they avoid will tend to vary over time, depending upon the circumstances. The joke above refers to the fact that at one time a number of Christian groups were opposed to dancing. At that time, the dances had become very sexually suggestive. Thus some Christians saw dancing as an occasion for men to see women as sex objects, rather than an opportunity to develop the sort of fellowship Christians want. The Challenge of Sin I believe that we would be involved in a process of growth and discovery even in a world without sin. However this is not such a world. Because of our inborn tendencies to sin, this process is also one of recovery from sin.
