I remember back to when I was a young boy, having this deep knowing that Angels were not some distant fantasy or hocus pocus illusion, but in fact as real as the ground we walk on. There was never a doubt in my mind that we are all in the midst of angels, guides, protection or whatever word you may want to describe this real, powerful and loving presence.
I always felt this unseen protection, especially during some of the darkest and fearful times of my childhood and adult life. I say this also realizing that I disconnected from this knowing at some point and until recently I was never actually aware of the magnitude of this presence.
About 2 years ago, I recall sleeping on a chair in my living room and waking in the middle of the night with this strange feeling of being surrounded by some powerful energy, not in a bad way but in a very awkward, unusual way. I looked down on the floor and my 2 cats, Coby and Casper were sleeping on either side of the chair. At that very moment, the first thought that ran through me was, these cats are protecting me, they’re Angels! From that moment on I believe I re-connected with this knowing that I have always had, but merely forgot.
This feeling that Coby and Casper were here to protect me became a part of my being. And it was like I relied on their presence around me to feel whole or connected to this meta-physical presence that lies within me and all of us.
About 3 months ago, Casper was struck by a vehicle and passed on. An uncontrollable and overwhelming sadness and aloneness swept through me. I understand that this would be a normal feeling for anybody to experience that has lost a loving family member, but I truly believe this was even beyond that. I felt a part of me was taken away, not just Casper my cat, but a piece that made me whole. I would weep uncontrollably for days, waking up in the middle of the night without being able to get back to sleep. One of my angels who was so fused with me was taken and I was completely lost.
At this same time, my other cat, Coby was in a state of depression and his health began deteriorating. As I am writing here, he is still with us, but not in good health.
During these last few months, since Casper’s death, this feeling of an Angelic presence has become even further amplified. I need to go back abit to explain this. Around 2 years ago, I began experiencing some strange things, predominantly to do with numbers and the appearance of sets of numbers in 3s consistently. I would be find myself being guided to look at the clock and without question the time would be 1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 0r 5:55 and as well 11:11 or 12:12. This was not just a regular occurrence, but something I couldn’t avoid.
At first I was very uncomfortable with this phenomenon, however because I couldn’t escape it I began accepting it. I would be fast asleep in the middle of the night, and a voice would say open your eyes and I would look at the ceiling (we have a clock that displays on the roof in our bedroom) and it would 4:44, or any other variation of numbers in 3s. It got to the point that I would be in the middle of a conversation with my wife and something would tell me to look at the clock and lone behold…I would say to my wife, “see there it is again”. At first my wife was a little uncomfortable too, but she too had no choice but to accept it.
Now I’ve got to be clear that I am not one to constantly look at clocks. Actually I rarely ever check to see what time it is. It was just happening and it was out of my control. Shortly after Casper’s death I was motivated to look further into this. I began researching on the web and found several other stories very similar to mine. I also found that the explanation of this phenomenon by various experts was fairly consistent across the board: When people are consistently seeing numbers in 3s such as on clocks, it is a sure sign that Angels are talking to you. Each set of 3s has a different meaning or source, however simply put it is all good- nothing to be afraid of.
As soon as I started reading these stories and explanations, this feeling of relief came over me and I was at peace with my situation. This knowing that I’ve always had was reinforced. The reason why Angels use this means to attempt to communicate with us is because it is subtle enough to not scare the absolute shit out of us, but definitely enough to get our attention. When this happens, it is an attempt to connect with us and pass information/guidance to us and if we are ready to embrace this, we can simply say “I am ready to receive more”.
Since this realization, I have not only embraced this opportunity, but I have a sense of connection and faith that I have never before experienced. My cat, Casper has left, however his presence is their more than it ever was. I can let him go and still embrace our connection. At the end of the day, he taught me to bravely open up to this world and have faith that we’re not alone. Whether or not he’s physically here, his angel spirit is…always.
So, to answer the title of this post: Where are The Angels? They’re here, walking amongst us and they’re also where we can’t see them. They’re everywhere. The real question is: are you willing to let them into your life and walk this world connected and open to their guidance. Whether or not you presently believe that this loving and protective presence is amongst us, contemplate this great paradox of truth: YOU are guiding your own life and YOU are also being guided.
With love and realness!
