Have you ever been "touched by an angel"?

I was actually just thinking about that today. I'm not sure I have been touched by an angel but I am starting to believe I have Guardian Angels that oversee my life. Up to now, things have always worked out well for me. Yes, my decisions have played a big part in that but there are some instances in which things have just coincided that made my life better. There is frequently timing involved, when something happens that resolves something else.

I also have lots of freaky coincidences. Today I was playing Wordscapes and as I entered the word Lucky the person on TV said the same word at the same time. Just weird. I have a close friend that says "her spirits" guide her life. She has always been calm in stressful situations so who am I to argue?

This happens to me quite often. It is always surprising, and spooky. :) It happened today after I posted this thread. I watched a movie ( independent ...low budget ) with an "enchanted plot" that came up in my YouTube feed. It premiered just hours after I started this thread. A nurse fell in love with her war torn patient, and she transformed his life. At one point he actually says "You touched me and healed me." :)
 

I do not think I was touched by an Angel but I was touched by something one time. I mentioned it a while back in a different thread. I was sitting on my bed in the lotus position in deep spiritual thought. My body began to tingle all over from the inside out. I felt what I can only describe as a deep moan coming from inside me and coming out of my mouth. I started to laugh and cry at the same time. An overwhelming feeling of spiritual ecstasy swept through me with a power I had never flt before or since. I felt my body levitate to about three feet above my bed. My eyes were closed during this entire experience but I could see what was happening as if I was watching myself from a short distance away. The experience seemed to last a couple of minutes but when I came out of it two hours had passed. At the time I was frequenting a Pentecostal Church. My explanation at the time was that I had been filled with the Holy Spirit. After a time I learned from deep prayer that it realy did not matter what I called it. I used the word prayer so what I am describing is easily understood. This experience changed my whole concept of religion and spirituality. I quit trying to figure it all out and just accepted the fact that I am one soul in a vast collective of other souls. I feel that I was touched by a vast overwhelming spiritual power that is much greater than me and my comprehension of it.

When I was in Scientology for a brief time, this was called "going exterior'. It happened to me while I was seated at a table speaking with a training partner. Suddenly, I found myself floating at the top of the ceiling in a corner of the room looking down upon us both. I could still hear and feel myself speaking while I was looking down. Then suddenly I was "back in my body" so to speak. I don't know the time frame as time seemed not to exist. True story. :)

You may feel as though you are one soul in a collective of all souls and I have seen this. All souls emanating from a sphere with a halo like a dark sun or like an eclipse with a corona. They were streaming out, smiles on their faces and I felt the perfect joy in their souls. What a collective to be part of!
If you thought I was weird before, what about now? :)
 
At the age of 20 I was drafted and a barracks. I was lying down and going through one of the Bible's they had all over the place. I was just reading the outline to each chapter when sudennenly the room started filling with light and what I thought was God. It was overwhelming. I told many people there and one Christian talked to me about having a direct relationship with God through accepting Jesus as my Savior and praying to him aloud. With all my sins forgiven, and my heart filled with Christ I was infatuated with God. The next 6 months I cried often because of this overwhelming love and joy. I started a Sunday Bible meeting for the guys. I went to malls and sang songs about Christ to the shoppers, I even went to the entry to a ski resort in 30 degree weather and played Christian songs to those entering, with a sign for Jesus. I joined a house church after my service and married and had 2 children...but when I was 27 my faith began to unravel.
 
I thought that would be a question that would be asked. I think we should start another thread about about the ebbs and flows of our "spiritual" experiences. Mine have gone into different areas of my experience and most all of them ( belief structures ) have morphed into something else. I have read most of my life about how each of these phases is "the best way", but they have never lasted. What remains is my experience in total. Which the thought "we are more than the sum of the parts" is also very inspiring to me.
Or "be patient, the universe is not finished with me yet". :)
