Dear Angels,
"I've been working as a substitute teacher in a public school system where one of the reasons I was never able to get a steady job there was because of the female personnel director.  This was more than ten years ago.  Recently this same woman has been stalking me.  When she sees me she acts very threatening.  Can you tell me what's going on with her?"  Norma

Dear Norma,
This woman doesn't appear to be stalking you. Watching you perhaps.  When I asked why you didn't get the full time job initially, what I see is that it was a split decision, part of which had to do with your immaturity for the job.  You were smart enough, but perhaps emotionally, you were not quite ready. Or maybe it was thought that you would be bored because the job was not stimulating enough or that you have a mind of your own and might not want to follow the rules.

What your Angels want to communicate is it is time to let go, no matter what the ten-year old reason was.  Whatever it is this woman is doing or not doing, has nothing to do with you unless you allow yourself to imagine it does. If you can find it in your heart to forgive her for what she hasn't done to you, you will notice that her behavior toward you will begin to change.

This gives you a wonderful opportunity to practice forgiveness.  No one does anything to us.  We all behave in a way which camouflages our fear. By realizing that we all have the same underlying insecurities,  you can easily practice on others who don't have such a strong pull on you emotionally.  Practice feeling unconditional love toward the grocery clerk and notice if that person doesn't respond differently.  Smile genuinely at some one who doesn't expect it and watch what happens.

We are all more powerful than we imagine. As we learn to change to a position of loving forgiveness, people will begin to respond to us differently.  You will find total strangers grinning at you. Maybe even "this woman," will look on you more kindly.

Dear Angels,
"I seem to have had a lot of bad luck this year.  It sometimes feels like someone or something is trying to stop me from going down my chosen path. I'm at university and doing something I really love.  Am I being tested?"  Claire, Dumfriesshire, Scotland

Dear Claire,
The way you thought you were going is not where you seem to be heading.  What I see about you is that you love to connect with people. You have a nurturing way that goes straight to the heart of the other person. However, it appears that there is someone in your way, a powerful man, perhaps an instructor, who challenges your ideas.

It looks as if your gift is in creating a foundation for those of us who need loving counseling.  By helping us feel comfortable with you,  you teach us to sing our own song.  You enable us to "find ourselves." 

Your challenge is to stop trying to control the uncontrollable;  i.e. to let go of your resistance and begin to flow in a slightly different way.  You seem to be able to keep your balance, but it's almost as if you are standing on one toe.  What your Angels are showing me is, if you are willing to let go of your resistance and frustration, even anger, over what has happened to stop you on your apparent path, things will begin to clear for you.

Something difficult to remember when we have a strong picture of what we want to create, is that our personal picture is not always for the highest good.  There may need to be a tweaking here and there to rearrange our goal just slightly.  This is no more a special test for you than it is for the rest of us. Many of us are being shown that the path we planned, is not exactly as we anticipated.  It does not mean that the end goal is so different, but rather that the way we get there may be on a slightly different road.

Do your best to be adaptable, hold onto your ethics and goals, and allow the Universe to guide you without blocking change.  There is no need to let go of your dreams; rather just allow yourself to be led as opposed to being the driver getting pushed off the road. Release your resistance and the struggle will let go as well.

Dear Angels,
"My husband passed on suddenly late last year, leaving me with two young children, and one more on the way.  I have managed to pick up the pieces of my life but sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night and feel something heavy coming down on me from above. Some nights it seemed like a spider on its web coming over my head.  I would wake up swatting at the air...kind of terrified.  Other nights it was like a dark shadow hanging over me.  Sometimes I would feel very afraid.  Other times I felt like my husband was standing over me and I would just go back to sleep. I don't really understand what it was about."  Nancy, Baltimore, MD

Dear Nancy,
I can understand your terror and your heartbreak.  I, too, have had my dreams that have been bigger than life and left me terrified. Your Angels are saying these dreams have to do with you roaming in your dream state beyond the third dimension, your normal human home.  Most of us don't see life's pictures the way artists see, or hear the way musicians hear, or even feel the things psychics feel.  We don't know what to make of the astral plane, the place we move into in our dream state. The visions we see do not fit in with our normal linear pictures.  We are trained to think of darkness as scary and light as loving.  In our dream state we often see things in symbols.

What your Angels are showing me are two things.  The first is when you feel your husband over you it is because he is there, literally protecting you. He is acting as a defense against the unknown, knowing you were frightened out of your wits by other dreams.  He is still living his "life" close in with you and your children, knowing you are all still connected.  He is doing his best to act as an angel.  Notice if your little one doesn't often look up and smile for no reason.  Your baby has not released the quantum world as yet. 

You are also correct in assuming that this was not all your husband.  There were times in your "trips" where you were unleashed, wandering in your suppressed terror into the unguarded astral plane. In our dream state our minds show us pictures, some of which are terrifying, to help us work out our struggles.  This is simply the darkness within us that has forgotten that we are all one.  No matter how we shape shift and change form from a body to what appears to be invisible, we still exist.

You have managed to anchor your husband into your space and most likely, will find that he will remain by you as long as you need him, which may be for quite awhile.  Since there is no time or space in the quantum field, he can be with you even though you don't see him.  You may hear him. And often you may feel him holding you.  You two will reconnect after you leave this life to resume the continuity of your lives together in a way that will bring you great joy.

One more quick thought from your gentle and loving husband through your Angels. "You will reach a point where you want and need to reconnect with another man in love. Please know that you are building on what we began together, which in true reality is a continuation of what we had already created.  What you can't see is that we are together by choice, and that love builds on itself.  What you create with another will increase our love, and vice-versa. Our love is a continuation of your ability to love not just me, but others.  Love can only expand.   

Dear Angels,
"Where am I headed.  I am confused."  Saheed, Milwaukee, WI

Dear Saheed,
You are more than confused. Your feet are set in concrete.  You have spent way too long sitting on your personal mountain, contemplating your life.  Your head is working overtime while the rest of you seems unable to take action.  Your mind is busy provoking anxiety and not allowing your body to move.  You are overdue to begin the next cycle of your life.

What is holding you back?  Your fear.  Look within and notice if there is not a deep-seated sense that if you don't try, then you cannot fail?  Or that if you pick the wrong road, you will disappoint your family? Or yourself?  It there is a loving woman in your life, she seems to be the right one for you and not someone to run away from, but rather to run toward.

Saheed, you appear to have everything you need to be successful except drive and a little  chutzpah.  There are times in our life when we need to jump off the high dive.  After we take the risk, then we can figure out which way we really want to go.

In your case, taking action is the answer, even if you think you don't know, you do. You are walking around with blinders blocking the light in your face, when all you needed were gentle sunglasses to lessen the light in your retina until you adjusted.

Dear Angels,
"Is it my fear of working a 40 hour job or my fear of commitment, that is keeping me from applying to a specific position that I know needs to be filled?"  Ingrid, San Diego

Dear Ingrid,
Your Angels are showing me that you have learned to stand back, to not extend yourself and then you get angry at yourself for not taking action. Notice if you have internal warring factions within you. One side wants a comfortable life with security and all that means to you. You seem to know how to think positively and to hold the intention, but you trip up because of past programming.

The other side is scared to death.  Perhaps you have learned to keep your mouth shut. If you don't voice your opinion, you can't be wrong. You won't create conflict, except within yourself. What results is an ongoing anxiety that leads you to assume, incorrectly, that you don't deserve to make money, or that you won't get a good job.

If you don't go for it, you won't be turned down.  You won't have to deal with your internalized family rules.  You only have to deal with yourself and your self-imposed disappointment. Your Angels are showing me a scale of justice. It is time to balance your fears with your desires.   You seem to have the desire and the intelligence to go for the life you would like to create for yourself.

Hold your dream while recognizing you are no longer a helpless child. Your sheer determination, which you've exhibited by risking asking this question, can carry you through into the right position for you.

Dear Angels,
"I  want to ask my angel if I will receive spiritual intervention help from the Divine?"
Melissa, Westminster, CA

Dear Melissa,
I am assuming you want help from God because something is going on that is not to your liking.  What I see is that you are needing money.  Notice if you are hoping that God is going to replace your current situation with the money you think you need.

Three things are happening  concurrently, none of which is conducive to receiving a helping hand.
The first is the wolf is at the door and you seem unable to figure another way out. Your fear has won you over.  In that place, nothing positive can happen. Fear is the opposite of God's Love. Fear is also a natural occurrence in your situation.

The second is you are unwilling to take action yourself. In a body, we need to set our intention, ask for guidance, and trust that the God Source has a clearer picture of what we need than we do.  That does not mean that we sit back and wait for the hand of God to tap us on the head. It means that we hold the vision of what we want to happen and at the same time take action.  Your thoughts have traumatized you into inertia.  Perhaps you are afraid to take a temporary job, or just afraid to move forward.

The third thing is you are still trying to control what happens.   Turning over the problem to God means that you trust that you don't know what is best and the Divine does. You are doing what most of us do.  While we are screaming, "Help me!" we are impatient  and try to control everything in our path.  What this gets us is zip!

It is important to remember that we do not hold the answers. The God Source is bigger than us and has the bigger picture in mind. It's all about trusting that Someone/Something knows more than us and then taking action while expecting the best. In the meantime, keep your head high, do what you can, and trust that if you are supposed to have more money, stay in your home, or whatever it is, it will happen. We humans are not so good at seeing around the corners.

Dear Angels,
"My son has been accepted in kindergarten in a private school that is small with lots of individual attention.  It would be perfect for him as he is quite sensitive. My problem is finances. We have a lot of projects that could prove lucrative if we get the break we need.  I have felt guided to pursue private school and now I'm at a loss of what to do.  Any angel insight would be appreciated."
Katherine, Victoria, B.C.

Dear Katherine,
You seem to be a woman of higher consciousness who wants the best for her child.  Your Angels are showing me that your son is a dreamy sort, not often in his body and most often living in his own fantasy world.  Already he feels a little isolated and perhaps having trouble beginning new, caring friendships.  His challenge is to stay in his body long enough to connect with people.  Perhaps he is remembering the pre-birth spirit world and having difficulty in our world of polarity.  Is it possible he deals with life by floating into a make-believe world of peace and comfort when he is unable to create it for himself in what we call reality? 

It looks as if your son is a boy of the new world. He doesn't quite fit in because he is not exactly in the third dimension. He refuses to release the freedom of the spirit world and what he knows is "the truth."  Except "the truth" doesn't quite fit in our reality here today.

No wonder you are struggling with this issue. What comes up is that you don't have the money to send him comfortably today.  It doesn't look as if, even with all your positive thinking, that it is coming in enough time.  Maybe you will have to move on, or even move physically. 

Your son will manage.  For some reason it appears as if he will do better in the standard class. Perhaps the smaller school will protect him in such a way that he doesn't learn to manage his world for himself. I realize this is a strange reading, but you are an unusually spiritual family dealing with "new world" issues.  You are at a place of having to wait until the rest of us catch up!

Dear Angels,
"I know I have a team of you ready and willing to serve and support me.  How many of you are there, and what are your names?  Do I have a main guide?  I'm desiring to connect and move forward living the purpose of my life. I hope to hear from you soon."  Michelle, Tauranga, NZ

Dear Michelle,
You have the possibility of being a terrific spiritual leader.What is holding you back is your fear. You have an idea, maybe even a vision, but you seem to be unable to move forward. It's as if you have shackled your own ankles.  Your Angels are showing me you are not allowing much fun in your life right now and guess what happens when you reach enlightenment?  You bliss out.  So start "blissing" Woman. 

You have tremendous capabilities but you seem afraid to move forward. Or maybe it's just that you get impatient and want everything to happen yesterday.  Notice if you are so anxious to move in a way you think of as forward, that the natural, one foot ahead of the other, is too slow for you.

In order to  receive the answers you just asked me, here are some suggestions, because it is your opportunity to become the receptor you so want to be.

1.  Set your intention:  Ask and you'll receive.
2.  Ask only yes or no questions initially. When you become practiced, you may ask anything and hear the answer.
3.  Pay attention to all of your senses. First I learned to hear. Then feel.  Then see. Now I do all three, but most often, not all at once.
4.  You will notice that some times you will get an immediate answer, if you are observant.
You'll instantly be aware of a yes/no answer. Many times, especially in the beginning, you will not notice much of anything.  FYI, that's a maybe. The challenge occurs when you are invested in the outcome. Here's the ground rule for that:  don't do anything until the answer resolves into a yes or no. 

And to specifically answer your questions, this is a one question free answer, not an anthology.
but here goes:  I cannot tell you their names because I don't pay attention myself.  You'll have to ask someone else. Or ask within.  You will hear an answer if you keep at it.  Do you have a main guide? Yes.  What you want to do is be still;  feel if this guide/angel? has a male or female energy.
What's my life purpose?  Life is not a a one purpose path for most. Ask to be open to what you need to see for your highest good.

I'm over the top here, Michelle. Love to you and all others who are asking similar questions!

Dear Angels,
"Will I ever see my ex, Jordie, again and if so, will we reunite?"  Wendy, CAN

Dear Wendy,
Your Angels are sharing that you are a wise woman, spiritually open, and confident of your intellectual abilities.  Now that your Jordie is out of the picture, you are feeling empty and worrying about your part in the split. You obviously would like him back.

Your challenge is to recognize that you two did not see eye to eye. Perhaps instead of feeling supported, he felt criticized.  Notice if you might have been sarcastic and disapproving instead of encouraging, while realizing he was doing the best he could at the time.

One of you seemed to be helping the other financially, perhaps you helping him.  He felt as if he was stabbed by your words and that he was unable to be himself.  The relationship just did not work for him.  As of today, it doesn't look like this is something he would like  to continue in the future.

Dear Angels,
"Why can't I lose weight? Why do I feel like I have to be in control?  Am I protecting myself? Please put me on the right path?"  Julie, Dubuque, IA

Dear Julie,
Your Angels are showing me that you have bottled up fury stuck in your gut.  That anger has created a huge emotional block for you. Look within to see if you are not your own worst enemy.  Notice if you have learned to suppress your anger  because you think you are not supposed to feel it.  Perhaps this anger was justified when, as a helpless child, you had no control.

What appears to be happening is you have held this in for so many years that it can implode for no reason.  You eat because you want to comfort yourself. You may feel like there is no one to "catch" you if you fall, no one to lean back on, no one to love you. You seem to be mourning the one person in your life who understood you.

The challenge is to get yourself some counseling where you can begin again. If you lived with an alcoholic as a child, or even if you just want to lose weight, you might benefit from Overeaters Anonymous, a free group based on the 12 Steps of AA. Way overweight or just out of control, many attend because the support of others who think like you. It is invaluable in moving you forward into a more healthy life and lifestyle and to create the life you really want.
