I promised I would get back on this - birthing angels - and so I decided to take a few minutes to attempt to explain a very complicated (and obviously an area I am NOT an expert - the Kabballah)subject as simply as I can. I almost put it off again today, since I left one of the books I wanted to quote, and I also wanted to add some footnotes, etc...but decided I could ADD those later. For now, I have the time and the energy to jump into how WE DO give birth to angels!
For men, this should be particularly exciting!
Ever been around a new born baby - and thought of the beauty of life? Ever attended a HAPPY wedding to be lifted from your rut on apathy? Ever sat and watched a sunset and felt your heart push against your rib cage? What is that all about? It is a type of energy - and as we all know, energy does not begin and then - stop. And so, what does it DO and where does it GO?
The world we live in is very limited. I believe most people will agree - at least to a certain level. Please - even a dog can hear tones humans can not. Then, what else can we not hear? What else can we not see? Other animals can see many things in different lighting that we can not see, and who knows exactly what they DO see? Why is it that - for some people - there are times that do not seem to hold time, at all? They experience a flash of Oneness, timelessness.
And so, we live in a realm that has its limits - BUT - it also has the capability to extend it's limits (humans, at least). Humans are OF this world, but also have a spiritual side which is capable of tapping into other worlds - the "Holy." And we are drawn to these other worlds. Most people have a feeling of discontent or of searching when not somehow connected with a spiritual journey.
When we, since we are both of THIS world AND of the SPIRITUAL world, think or PRAY very positively - in sweet and loving images, with relaxed and close oneness to one's heart - that energy forms an essence that leaves us.
Okay, now hang with me, here... Angels do not live in our world. They are in a place (if you want to call it a place) where time is not as much of a factor than in ours. The closer one gets to the Divine, the less that "time" exists. Our world is constructed on time, which is a Point A to Point B concept. If we did not have these, there would be great difficulty in communicating to each other - hence, the difficulty of explaining experiences of a more spiritual nature.
Angels are made of essence. And, by our thoughts and our prayers - we give rise to them. We birth them - and we feed them. Things could become complicated here - and if anyone is interested, I can follow-up with what I understand as the explanation of the idea (and fact) of angel as messenger.
If it hasn't already occurred to you - there are also times when we are not thinking sweet thoughts and may even be "praying" for revenge! Yes, not ALL angels are created from and composed of - positive essence.
Ever gone through a divorce? Ever been around someone who is going through a divorce? Ever been around a heated argument? AND, felt something more than the emotional storm....felt a heaviness - felt as if something were alive? Felt as if there was something - at least - dark and growing? I do not think this is a rare occurrence with people. One time, when my church was filled with people kicking out the rector, I felt it so strongly, I called it "The Black Monster," and it was hungry! It was being fed on a large and regular basis, but for reasons I did not understand, it seemed to want MORE and MORE...was SO hungry and more more more NOW! I asked others if they could feel "it" and they did....most of them. Most of the people who were not feeding it.
A very large and dark angel was born in that church. Sad - so very sad - and it's essence was able to take hold of many people, there.
And so, I wanted to write about this because - I believe - we are RESPONSIBLE for the birthing of ANGELS! We can DO this! We CAN make a difference in worlds beyond our own - worlds that affect our own! Today, tonight, this afternoon - you could birth an angel - and each day, you could feed it.
Which kind will it be? That is what free will is about.

Birthing Angels
HUH? Did I say that? Good ole Campbell has lost it this time - LOL...or perhaps you are not surprised at all. Perhaps I should not be surprised, either! That, I am exploring the reality of birthing angels! YES! If one thinks about it, isn't it hinted at time and again? Oh dear, my Bible study part isn't the best...and so I AM leaning on a bit of passed information and sort-of-remembered passages. However, recently I stumbled upon the most amazing book - on the Kabbalah. It is fairly complex, but I sat --- absorbed -- and amazed at what I was reading!
I am going to play a bit unfair, here. I have not finished the book! And, I have several more on the Kabbalah to read before I jump right out there and say - YES - WE give birth to angels! And we also birth evil.
But think about it for a few minutes, and it could make perfect sense to you...."sense" where there are not any....that feeling you get inside your bones, inside your DNA that tells you something. A place the "modern church" has turned its back on, except through ritual. Really...try heading to a priest and tell them you talked to a couple of trees yesterday. The response will NOT be positive. It will be a veiled attempt to NOT tell you that it is inappropriate, but rather to "spiritually guide" you into doubting yourself. Gently. The nice ones do it very gently.
Tell Saint Frances about this!
But, you know, don't you? About that place? Don't you? Faith comes from there. Those hmmmm, little feelings that are new to you and come at the most surprising times, OR perhaps in worship, or when looking at nature's total beauty. That little feeling coming from deep inside...how did it get there and where does it go? IF you are one to believe in "cause and effect" then even those bits of energy are spreading out and??? what? This is the largest hint I will give you regarding the birth of an angel. And, if your heart has never pushed against your rib cage when looking at a newborn, or a mountain range, then I agree that you may not understand what I am talking about. Unfortunately, the "church" no longer understands it. Ritual (symbol) has lost it meaning beyond the word "devotion." Touching that "thin space" and stepping through the veil no longer happens - according to the attitudes of today.
WHY was it NOT inappropriate for Frances, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen and so so many others to have "these experiences?" Did someone get out the word that "it" does not happen any longer?
Might sound as if I am very off topic, but am I too far off? Do you have a difficult time imagining that you COULD birth an angel ...because??? What influences has there been in your life to cause you to immediately doubt?
Well, I am not going to let it all out here -- HOW we birth angels. That will come later. To be continued....
As for that other subject - talking with trees - or birds, or the sky, or "things," if you read the great saints, if you read the awesome contemplatives of the past, there should be no doubt that such a thing is possible. After all - Jesus talked with God all the time.... and if you say, "Well, he is the Son of God," (as if we are not the children of God, as well!), then what's with Moses and the prophets?
