Imagination is Everything! Albert Einstein
Do you believe in Angels?
This is the most leading question for this type of topic. Some respond eagerly and accumulate everything angelic, while others shake their heads at such nonsense.
As a Reiki practitioner providing educational outreach about Reiki I am often asked the same question about Reiki. Do I have to believe in Reiki for it to work? I answer – I do not believe in Reiki. I practice Reiki because it works – just like aspirin did for seventy years before we understood how it worked.
Angelic and spiritual card readings are similar in nature. They work – regardless of belief.
Misconception:
The first misconception to overcome is that they are a fortune telling tool. That is a lot of blather, and anyone claiming that you can walk away from.
In Buddhist thought there is the idea of causes and conditions tempering and forming every outcome. When learning to dowse we learn that responses received are based on the immediate situation. You can dowse about the same question at a different time and get a different response because the conditions have changed due to various ensuing causes. To predict a static future is not logical, as the current and subsequent happenings are themselves not static. One may look at possible futures based on current conditions and probable outcomes based on possible causes.
Conception:
Now that our heads are spinning, what are Angelic readings?
Like the dowsing tool, they are a tool for connecting with your inner wisdom, which is part of and connected with universal compassion and knowledge, for a current need or concern for self or others. They can help illuminate causes and conditions, helping you to understand and embrace a current process and providing a suggestion for coping with and moving forward in a positive, healing direction.
How can this be – what is this bally-hoo about universal knowledge and compassion, the “logical” mind asks??? What proof is there? — What proof are you looking for, I ask?
One of my first fun and learning situations with Reiki as a new practitioner was when I offered it to a woman acquaintance as we stood at the end of a bar after an American Legion meeting. She had fallen and hurt her wrist – it was painful, and she was in a carpal tunnel type wrist support, which is why I had inquired. I offered her Reiki and she said what’s that and I said something I usually never say – it’s a healing modality. Sure, ok, go ahead, she said, wait, let me take off this band. Standing at the end of the bar in an American Legion post, about a minute and a half later she announces right out loud, Oh, my God! Its working. I don’t even believe in it and it’s working! When I finished I offered her back the wrist band and she said, no, thanks. I just want to sort of sit with this a bit. I left, still feeling her wrist between my Reiki fingers for the next 10 minutes or so as the energy continued to flow.
Well, that is one instance, as they say. There are hundreds, millions, of such instances world-wide at this point. I don’t know, you say, where is the scientific proof? They didn’t even have that when they started using aspirin. They used it because it worked. Scientific understanding came later.
Angel readings work too. They connect you with an unfathomably vast resource of wisdom and insight and compassion. Bally-hoo you say? Consider the following:
Possibility:
Last night I watched a documentary on technology and artificial intelligence. There was a lot of talk about Google. We have created Google. Here is what it is: a consortium, at this time of 10 million servers all connected by a neural network (like our brains) that was developed to what? Answer your questions. To do that, it is imbued with ever-changing algorithms that allow it to gather data points on you and every one of the millions of Google users from every choice you make online so that it can respond appropriately based on those data points. The average person has a Google profile containing, at this point, over 5000 personal data points based on information you have supplied and choices you have made. What do you search for, what words do you use, what do you buy, what do you look at, who do you connect with, how do you respond? We are continually monitored and profiled. And we are perfectly at peace with the personally knowledgeable responses Google offers us through this collection process. And we are perfectly at peace in asking it all the time. Google creators next goal is to have a neural network of 100 million servers….ever expanding in knowledge, personalization, accessibility and use.
Now think of a universal pool of knowledge, experience and intelligence we cannot conceive of but have tried to emulate with our technology, composed of data (energy, experience, form and no form) amassed over incalculable eons of time of which we are a small part where every response, thought, action, energy and emotion has been compiled for perhaps not this one life but any and all possible other existences of energy in all forms in all ages which is surrounded continually by the sum of the whole – just like all of Google is there the second you are online, the second you are conscious of being there….that exists to be asked; to support and enhance the sum of the whole by enriching each individual point, flash, of existence with its vast sum. How would it communicate with us? Should we try asking? Listening?
Is it possible that all these “spiritual” methods of communication are the same as asking Google? Making an intentional connection with the sum of the whole, the source. Look at the many ways we have developed to stay connected, to be reminded, to store our knowledge for future use, to find answers, share information and connect with one another via Google. There used to be the computer. Now there are every type of mobile device developed for convenience and ease of connection and use. Many paths to the same Google. Imagine, for a minute, life without Google. It would be vastly different. There are many paths to the universal connection of love, knowledge, guidance, healing and compassion as well. Imagine the difference such a connection could make in your life. Experiment with what works for you. Just like a Google answer, you are not run by, or taken over by, any responses or information. Energy is very polite. It is up to you to process and use the responses for your best outcome, based on the causes and conditions you assess.
As Such, Angel and other readings are merely tools for connection, enhancing wisdom, allowing us to make wiser choices and be connected to a larger source of wisdom and information for the purpose of living our best lives. Namasté
