In his sensitively insightful Earth In The Balance, former Vice President Al Gore wrote, “It is my own belief that the image of God can be seen in every corner of creation, even in us, but only faintly. By gathering in the mind's eye all of creation, one can perceive the image of the Creator vividly. Indeed, my understanding of how God is manifest in the world can be best conveyed through the metaphor of the hologram.”

It appears the belief in angels has once again increased in the latest survey of the USA’s religious beliefs conducted by Baylor University in Texas. Fifty-five percent of all adults, including one in five of those who said they had no religion, believe they have been protected from harm by a guardian angel.
Psychology Professor Kenneth Parament of Bowling Green University, seems to indicate the same as I have written....that deceased loved one are often considered guardian angels and looking after their well-being, rather than a actual winged angel.
And although twenty percent of those polled by the Baylor survey have said they have heard God speak to them, it may be by internal sense, not literally words heard externally by their ear.
I also found interesting that of the 1,700 surveyed in the Baylor poll, sixteen percent believe they have received a miraculous physical healing.
As I’ve written in my e-courses, and in my e-book, angels do come in all sizes and shapes, with wings and without wings, male and female, deceased loved ones, spirit guides and wise master teachers. And they communicate with us at times using signs and symbols rather than words of telepathy or voice.
Whatever form your angel or angels take, contact with them can be heartwarming, life-saving, joyous, and awe-inspiring. And always filled with love.
