I have a friend who always asks for help from her angels throughout the day.  What ever the situation requires she asks for her angel’s assistance whether it be organizing a schedule, coordinating co-workers to their duties or cleaning her home.  She assigns angels to the jobs she does.  Regardless of the task it is always more easily accomplished. She still does the physical work.  The angels seem to move obstacles that exist on another plane that inhibit us here.

Other people pray to god for assistance.  It seems to be a great help for them.  Even if god speaks in a silent voice and is a passive participant people who pray believe that asking for help makes a big difference.

It is also common for people to ask other people for assistance.  Direct help is available for those who ask for it.  In most cases people love to help others.  They feel more connected to society and other people when they help their fellow man.

However for many people there is a resistance to ask for help.  There is a variety of reasons why people do not ask from being independent, pride, isolation or feel they do not deserve it.  The unconsciousness to not ask feels like an old habit of isolation that is so deep within that it is an intrinsic response.

For many there are underlying influences directing them not to ask for assistance.  To maintain a attitude of separation is the way for the person feeling less worthy.  It comes from a belief that they deserve the suffering.  This false perception that they do not deserve comes from a fear that is generally originates from experiences in their past.  A feeling that they are wrong and lesser than.  Receiving help creates a vulnerability to another through the exchange from the fear that they are found out as inadequate (as their fears have told them time and again).

For many who hold these fears that they are lesser, one of the worst outcomes of that particular fear would be having confirmation from another that they are that inadequate.  As crazy as the concept sounds it is what holds many from connecting to others for assistance (Being judged as less than).

As I mentioned earlier the source of such sabotaging points of view is something that people learned a long time ago in childhood.  Its source is most likely from being shamed by their parents.  The messages parents give to their children that they are less, un-welcomed, unwanted or wrong for what they do affect children trough their adult lives.  Children hold those beliefs.  Then they begin the process of feeling separate and inadequate.

These shaming fears develop into something the child and adult wish to avoid.  They most likely learn from their parents that asking for help will mean criticism or punishment of some form.  Therefore as adults they create themselves separate from others so connecting to others by asking for help triggers the shamed person to old shaming fears from their parents.

The more we realize our fears and how they began we are more able to learn new patterns.  Our relationship with god, angels and people will change.  We will be more willing to receive everything that life has to offer including help.

I was cleaning my kitchen the other day and my thoughts drifted while working.  I am an intuitive healer and have spent the last year teaching various classes on releasing suppressed anger and rage.  I wondered if I should continue to focus on the issues of anger as powerful as the classes had been, it had been over a year of various classes on the same topic.  In a relaxed state of mind not expecting any response I asked, “God, is it time for me to move on?”  I continued to clean and my thoughts wondered.

About three minutes passed and the phone rang.  It was a new client who wanted to work on suppressed issues of anger.  The answer was pretty clear, keep doing what I am doing.  God does work in mysterious ways.  I do not know exactly the answer.  Does god exist beyond me, or in everything around me , within me or all of the above?  All I know is god or goddess works for me in my life.

As an intuitive I can perceive energy in almost anything from plants, to people, to written words, to computers and homes.  Everything is energy.  We all have this innate ability to perceive energy.  Through the years I have been able to hone this tool to a very fine skill.

One day I asked to perceive the energy of god.  Not knowing what to expect I found that there was no energetic response, surprising there was nothing to perceive for something that is overwhelmingly potent.  As I observed closer I saw it was not a flat energy but felt so tiny that I could only perceive the smallest fluxuation of energy.  So subtle but at the same time flowing into everything, everywhere.   In my interesting point of view I was only getting of glimpse of what was really there.

I have been in the presence of a few evolved people and their energy is very light.  It is powerful but so minute with so little resistance and such a dynamic vibration at the same time.

I know that I am only feeling a hint of what god’s presence is.  This is a process that is developing for me and for everyone else.  It is quiet and hidden yet interwoven into everything.  Or this is what I suspect.

When I perceive the energy of the forest is the closest that I can perceive god.  It is a lighter energy that has no resistance that travels through all living matter.  Since it all of the living including the rocks, it is everywhere.  It is like a blueprint of life that exists at a particulate level.

I do not know if god is that, nature.  Maybe god has a thousand different faces?  I wonder what the saints of various religions and cultures perceived god as?   Were they once common people just like me that evolved?  Did people like Saint Francis of Assisi or other saints tune into the subtle energy of god?  Or were they oblivious and totally mental with it?   Were the perceptions of what god’s energy is, inconsequential?

Do any of our past holy people feel a presence so subtle yet overpoweringly present?  I wonder.   Maybe the relationship with god is constantly changing with the consciousness of the people on the planet?  As we evolve, god’s communications change.

When I contemplate this I am humbled.   At the same time it is an exciting that consciousness of people on the planet is growing.  If I can perceive energies of the fabric of particulate energies that is the god-like energy I know that thousands to maybe millions of others are doing the same in their own way around the world.  More importantly there are millions of others who are turning the corner to be able to perceive it.  Then they are thousands of others who are far beyond me.  The important message is that whatever we are aware of, we create that consciousness into the world.  A lighter vibration is here and getting stronger.

For now I will stay with simpler terms.  I believe.  I ask.  I deserve to receive.  I remain clear as I can.  I grow.  God works in my life.
