Not necessarily, Chester. We all have a Guardian Angel. A Holy Spirit which God provides to accompany us through life on Earth and probably through lifetimes hereafter as well. Our awareness of our Angel and communication with it is important. Our Angel is a Conscious Being who is aware of our thoughts and needs. If you should happen to need a miracle from time to time during your life your Angel is your Agent and conveyor to God of whatever is your your prayer request. Take this from me, an unshakable Christian; the more desperate your prayer the more likely a response.
garry, I don't know you, but I have to imagine you mean well from your post but I have to ask...
Where was that Guardian Angel for my father on June 26, 1979 when he was only 44 when he called my sister and then called me and lied to us he was going on a trip when, instead, he swallowed 5 bottles of major cancer pain killer drugs my step-mother, his wife, refused to take as she was dying of pancreatic cancer, where, if she had, he wouldn't have had the pills to kill himself? Where was my Guardian Angel when I implored!!! (no more fervently than the most fervent prayer) that my father to let me go with him on his "faux trip" and he insisted he would be "ok" as he "hired an armed security guard" to go with him. My intuition was on fire yet I chose to trust him and trust God he would be safe and to this day, still carry the guilt... TO THIS DAY! I don't "get over it." Was it a demon instead that pushed the thought into me... "trust Dad, trust God?"
So what sort of "Godnamic" puts us in this finite reality where, even if there's life after death, we have to have some "Guardian Angel" in the first place to help us (albeit selectively) in times of "need"?
And hey, don't get me wrong, the miracles I have experienced (and feel that I have zero reason to deserve any of them) have been just
tooo uncanny to simply be chance, but the "angels and demons" framework. to me... smells. Something just don't add up about it. I like what Whitley observed and stated at the end of Alex's Strieber interview... "I do not trust the visitors. I trust my innate goodness as a human being." And in another part he says its down to "love, compassion and humility."
"But I do not trust them and I do not trust their various attempts to make themselves seem more angelic (hello, Chris Bledsoe) to me." "I think they got caught in a dark vortex a long time ago... some of them did and they are trapped in it, and I am not there, I am not trapped in it..."
My "operative metaphor" at the moment is this - It appears most "physically alive human beings" are nothing but pinballs in a pinball machine where one flipper is "angels" and another flipper is "demons," and the only way to extricate oneself from being such is to work day and night vigilantly on that very thing Whitley points out - "love, compassion and humility."
