REMINDER from Mano:
Those of us in the spiritual realms are multidimensional and are able to track many dimensions at the same time.
REMARKS from Barbara:
I love writing this blog. My angels can teach me and give me information that I was not aware of until I open for the stories to share each month.
REMEMBERING Mary Jane:
The italics are Mary Jane’s putting my stories together for my memoir, Living with the Spirits of the Land.
You Are Not Alone
Blog #79
This scene has repeated itself many times: I am sitting on the floor with a hundred papers of guidance around me. There are stacks according to topic, piles according to the Being who was teaching. Putting it together, taking it apart, I keep trying to find a place to start this Blog.
Sometimes I can’t wait, so I began writing small pieces that are part of the whole, trusting I will know where they fit when I find my starting place.
I was having trouble connecting with Mano so I didn’t know what was to be shared. I sent out one of my favorite prayers, which is simply one word, ”Help.” It worked. This morning I was guided to listen to the tape of my January astrological reading with Ellias Lonsdale. The conversation that related to my life path and purpose gave me the starting place for which I have been looking. For some reason Spirit was not able to give me a way to start, so it guided me to a place that would stimulate my thinking.
I remembered that on my 70th birthday I got up very early and walked outside to greet the dawn. It was one of the few times I have ever heard an audible voice. Spirit’s birthday message was, “You are not alone.” The voice was clear, like someone speaking in my ear. Although I don’t know if it was male or female, I did have a wonderful feeling of being gifted with love and connection. This was truly a gift of words that had power and carried a clear feeling of connection.
I have learned to believe that synchronistic happenings are the work of our guiding angels. I know this is true for everyone. The challenge is to trust and believe. We are not alone. We each have our guardian angel, the ancestors that love us and have gone on, the faerie beings that help find what is lost, help the garden grow, and help house plants survive. The elements of earth, air, fire, and water that make up our body have one Elemental in charge that I name the Body Elemental.
Reading Tolkin’s trilogy, Lord of the Rings, was the first time I ever thought of the three realms: above, below, and within. We humans live in the middle world. The world above is where the Angelic and Ascended Masters live in the 5thdimension. Below is the underworld, the realm of Faerie beings, Elementals, and many beings that live within the earth. These beings pay very little attention to us in the middle realm, the third dimension.
I will share two stories that Mary Jane wrote in my spiritual memoir, Living With The Spirits of the Land.
The first tells of an immediate angelic response to my call for help:
A few years ago, when my vision first diminished and I was not yet sure of myself, I flew with two of my children to Portland, Oregon to participate in a grandchild’s wedding. My children were not used to my having physical limitations and walked ahead, excitedly talking and looking for our rental car. I found myself at a cross street with cars exiting the garage and became scared, unsure of my safety. My children were too far ahead to call for help and no one was around to ask for assistance. So I prayed “God help me.” Immediately I was aware of a large being on either side of me. Together we stepped into the crosswalk and all of the cars stopped as the three of us walked to the other side of the road. These beings stayed with me until my children were in sight and I knew where I was going.
I am thinking these two beings were angels even if they did not have wings. They were over 7 feet tall and had a husky build. I immediately felt protected and comforted knowing I was not alone.
My next story shares how those we love who have gone to the heavenly realms still remain aware of our presence and needs and can come and comfort us when we have need:
“HEED THE SIGNS ALONG THE HIGHWAY.” This statement floated through my mind the day Jim called to say he was quitting his job and wanted to move to a community with clean air. In the previous three years, both Maria and Patricia had been telling me they saw that I was going to move away from La Cañada. Stunned to think the time had come, I went upstairs to lie down and take in the surprising news. The doorbell rang and when I went to it the door was open, but no one was there. At that moment the phone rang. It was Maria, telling me that Gene Dorsey, my first spiritual teacher, had just come to her and wanted to speak to me. I sat down, got quiet, put my attention in my heart, and sent Gene love. I felt his presence and said, “I have not been aware of you since you died.” He responded that his work had taken him to other dimensions but that he was always aware of my light. He had seen my light flare, knew that I needed support, and immediately came. He encouraged me, saying, “This move will open many doors and you will love what happens and who you become.” I had never had anything like this happen before, yet the whole experience felt comforting and natural. I was filled with a sense of awe at the easy connection between worlds, and also was filled with deep gratitude to know that on some level, Gene was watching over me. “Heeding the signs along the highway,” became a continuing trusted guidance.
I just thought of one more story:
Jim and I were invited to dinner at a friend’s house to meet her spiritual friend, Brenda Crenshaw. The dinner was fun with a lively conversation. After it was complete Hazel, our hostess, said, “We are now going to join hands and support Brenda to bring in spirits to talk to us.”
Gene Dorsey had told me never hold hands in a séance. I was torn what to do. So “when in doubt pray.” I said a prayer, “Please God protect me.”
At that moment Brenda said, “Something very unusual has happened Barbara. Two beings have just come in and are wrapping you in blue gauze.”
I was grateful and amazed. I feel these two angels are the same ones that answered my prayer in the Portland airport. I feel they are always aware of what is going on in my life. Since God has given us the gift of ‘free will’ they need my request for their help and protection, otherwise they would not interfere.
I was grateful and amazed. I feel these two angels are the same ones that answered my prayer in the Portland airport. I feel they are always aware of what is going on in my life. As guardian angels, they have permission to take certain actions and interventions in the life of the person to whom they have been assigned. I try to always remember that since God has given us the gift of ‘free will,’ there are areas in which the angels need my request for their help and protection.
Mano says it pleased them to be able to show themselves to me so I knew for certain that they were there and had responded to my specific requests.
There is deep gratitude in my heart for you and this beautiful sharing. Your love, humility, and magnificence continue to offer me an expanded view of being. Thank you, Barbara!
Thank you, Barbara, for these stories. Reminding me that we are not alone is just what Ineeded to hear today.
Barbara, your sharings always open my heart and consciousness to new possibilities and awareness. Just this morning I felt a silent message of assurance from a beautiful gray squirrel on our deck that was drinking water from a pan under a potted plant. “All of life around you is nourishing you.”
Hello Barbara,
Inspiring and motivating article! Thank you.
I did not know that there was a Body Elemental. I have always called on them individually to help balance the air, fire, water and earth elements within my body. I’m am glad there is a coordinator that I can call in as well.
Love, Light Truth and Wisdom,
Liz (Auburn)
Thank you, Barbara,
It has been encouraging for me to follow you over the years since you started your blog.
You will recall we met you, and Jim in the 1970’s in San Luis Obispo.
We are still here. Bill and I are living on the same farm over the hill from your place when you lived in this area.
Love and fond memories and we hope to se you soon,
