James Van Praagh Chat Room
SPECIAL
CHAT
How Angels Work In Your Life With Angelologist BARBARA MARK
Author of "Angelspeake" Trilogy and "Heaven & Beyond"
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) WELCOME everyone!! Tonight, we are soooo very
blessed to have with us a most remarkable lady...BARBARA MARK.
For her event, Barbara will share with us HOW ANGELS WORK IN
YOUR LIFE.
Barbara Mark is a nationally known teacher, lecturer, and
spiritual counselor. Her popular Angelspeake workshop was
featured on Good Morning America (ABC-TV), Good Day New York
(Fox-TV) and Leeza (CBS-TV). Her workshop is currently being
presented on PBS stations throughout the U.S.
Barbara and her sister, Trudy Griswold, are co-authors of the
Angelspeake Trilogy and Heaven & Beyond. For more info on
Barbara, her books and her work, please visit her web site at
http://www.angelspeake.com
Barbara...Welcome...we are honored you are here with us this
evening.
(barbaramark) The angels have entered...thanks for having
us...(and me too).
This is awesome fun! My favorite thing to do ...talk angelspeake.
Just a bit of background... the angels woke my sister and I up
in 1991 and told us to take down their dictated messages. We
were overwhelmed by the results and our lives are different than
we ever thought it would be.
After about a year, we were told to start teaching people how to
talk to their angels and we have been doing that ever since.
Wherever two or three gather together...you'll find us sharing
what the angels have taught us. So everything you receive
tonight, is in some way what the angels taught us over the
years. Who has a question
QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION BEGINS
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The first question is by InfinitysDove.
(Infinitydove) How do I know when my Angel is talking vs my own
mind chatter?
(barbaramark) Good question. You don't always know, but there
are 3 or 4 signs that it is them and not you.
1. They use the 3rd person most of the time.
2. They talk differently than you do.
3. They love to use words in pairs or threes for emphasis.
4. When you read them the next day, you don't remember what you
wrote.
Just trust that it is the angels and NOT YOU. Acceptance is the
most important part.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Lexi:
(lexie) what's the difference between an angel and a spirit?
(barbaramark) Angels are the part of God that does the work.
They told me to teach one time that God is like the HUGE
firework that makes all the noise. The angels are the sparkles
that come from God. I liked that.
Spirits are beings who may or may not have lived on earth, but
have come to help us in some way. They are not angels, but they
love us so much and are such good teachers that it is easy to
confuse the two. Abraham Lincoln could be a spirit guide today,
but technically he is not an angel.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from YvonneChristi:
(YvonneChristi) Is there a way to know when an angel is around
us?
(barbaramark) Absolutely! Ask your angel to touch you! At some
place on your body, you will feel a tickle or a touch that gives
shivers or a bit of a thrill feeling. They touch you all the
time. They have been touching you since you signed on. Anyone
feel it?
(YvonneChristi) I've heard about seeing a coloured light out of
the corner of ones eye?
(barbaramark) Yes, you can see colored lights.
(YvonneChristi) Thank you Barbara.
(barbaramark) That may be a spirit guide or an angel, but for
sure you know it is a force that is here to be with you. There
is so much help for us all the time and those who have the gift
often say they saw something out of the corner of their eye.
One time I kept seeing a mouse running through my house (out of
the corner...etc.,) and I finally asked the angels why I kept
seeing a mouse? They told me they had sent me a mouse cuz my
apt. wouldn't let me have a cat. Angels love to make jokes.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Valentine:
(Valentine) Angels were never human beings, were they??
(barbaramark) No they weren't. They are the part of God he sends
to help us. I think of it as a sort of "downsized" God because
he is really too big to understand. Your deceased gramma might
feel like an angel because after she goes to the other side she
is so full of love for you, and that is ok if you think of her
as your guardian angel, but technically, she is not an angel
either. The way you can tell is that they act, feel, smell, etc
like them. I never doubt it when someone I love comes to me. I
just KNOW!
(Valentine) Thank-you, Barbara.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) Barbara...if you would, could you briefly
explain if there is a difference between spirit guides and
angels, to your understanding.
(barbaramark) Cammy....Angels are angels and are the part of God
he sends to us to help us. Spirit Guides are teachers who may or
may not have lived on earth, but are also here to help us.
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) We are getting many questions wondering if
there is a difference between guides or angels or just a
different word for the same thing.
(barbaramark) There are 3 different MAIN groups of beings we can
connect with on the other side.
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) Great...tell us about the main groups, if you
would.
(barbaramark) Angels, Spirit Guides, Deceased Loved Ones. There
are zillions of categories of each, but the angels said not to
confuse it too much and just to know that this is enough to
know.
Remember, every being in the universe has an angel or more to
help it. Even angels have angels. I love the part in the Talmud
that says, Every blade of grass has an angel that tells it to
grow, grow, grow. Angels are with everything and everyone. As
they are needed, they show up.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Di:
(Di) My angels catch my eye with numbers = 111, 222, 555 etc is
that to get my attention - then what should I do, other than
acknowledging them?
(barbaramark) I look at that as if the angels are giving me a
pat on the back. Sort of like a heavenly wave.
(Di) Not a message , just a pat?
(barbaramark) I see 11:11 and 444 a lot. They say that it tells
me at what vibration I am operating right now. A signal, if you
will. Remember, the angels ARE part of God...so they are
carrying our prayers to the source of all that is.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Grneyedlady:
(grneyedlady) Where are the angels when we are praying to God?
(barbaramark) Angels and God are inseparable...they are both the
divine universal energy that keeps everything flowing.
(grneyedlady) my father has cancer....we've prayed for so long
but he keeps getting worse....his faith is weakening, where are
they?
(barbaramark) The angels are right beside him helping him in
every way they can. We have written a book called Heaven &
Beyond that explains what they are doing, and how you can help.
Even though we don't always understand why someone would chose
to have their life end like your father is, the angels know that
it is a perfect choice for the lessons he is learning and they
are constantly with him and your family.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from OfGrace:
(OfGrace) Do angels ever come down to earth...in earthly form to
help us? I once had someone enter my life exactly when I needed
them, they stayed until I was healed and then vanished. It seems
angelic to me.
(barbaramark) I believe angels come to earth. I hear stories all
the time of people being helped by someone who disappears after
they are helped. I can't always understand how it works, but I
know it does.
(ofgrace) I truly believe it! This person appeared as an angel!
Thank you Barbara.
(barbaramark) Do you want to learn how to talk to your angels?
(ofgrace) YES
(barbaramark) There are 4 Steps to talking with your angels (or
spirit guides or deceased loved ones):
1. ASK for the specific being you want to come to you.
2. Believe that he or she or it will come to you and that your
angels are protecting you and surrounding you with love.
3. Let it go or Let it happen...meaning don't try to figure it
out.
4. Say thank you for whatever happens. Don't take it away from
yourself.
To find out your angels name, ASK....Believe....Let it Happen
(the first name you think of is it)....Say thank you. Your
angels want to come to you more than you can imagine. There is
not a soul in this chat tonight that isn't on earth to do
special work, and the angels are here to make sure you do it.
(ofgrace) thank YOU.
(barbaramark) Whatever your gift is, there is an angel teaching
it to you, enhancing it, and giving you opportunities to use it.
You are all loved, special, and blessed.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Doggymama:
(doggymama) If the angels are always around us and here to help
us, why is there so much misery in the world?
(barbaramark) For lessons, of course. If there weren't lessons
to learn, there would be no reason for us to be born. Lessons
are inherent with life. This is a duality/polarity planet and we
are going to learn about both sides of every coin, good and bad.
(doggymama) But do the lessons have to involved such suffering?
(barbaramark) We choose our own lessons, so if we have to
suffer, that is what we choose to do. The angels told me one
time that everyone thinks that life is a tight rope that we are
going to fall off and miss the point if we don't be verrrrry
careful.
The angels say, No, it is not a tightrope. Our life is like an 8
lane highway that is well lit, and every angel in heaven is
helping us walk along it. It is just that some lanes are under
construction, and that makes the going tough once in awhile. Be
patient with your life. How you live isn't personal. Its how we
gain perfection. In fact many people who have the toughest lives
end up helping the most people.
(doggymama) Thank you, Barbara, what a beautiful explanation.
(barbaramark) Back to the angels names? Try this with your kids.
They get the BEST names!
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Wings:
(Wings) Barbara, is using Angel Oracle cards a good way to
communicate with your Angels?
(barbaramark) I like the Oracle Cards a lot.
(wings) Me too!
(barbaramark) Here is how I use them: I pull a card for the day,
then I write my angels and ask," Dear, Angels, please teach me
why I received this card and what you want me to know about it."
Then I type or write down what I receive in my heart. They
always give me a wonderful message and it helps me through my
day. Any time you ever have a question about anything... a
dream, a problem or a thought, or question, go to the angels
first for an answer. They are the BEST at
analyzing dreams!
(wings) Thanks!!
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from DRK:
(Drk) When I was a teenager, I had an angel appear to me, and
give me a warning, and to this day I haven't been able to find
out what type he was. Are there certain types of angels? Do they
have a specific jobs?
(barbaramark) There are angels for everything. The best thing to
do is to ask your angels who he was and what type. My work is to
help you connect with your own divine team of helpers so you can
have your questions answered any time you have a need. Angels
abound....if I have car trouble...I ask for the car angels to
help me. The grass angels have helped my daughter put in her
lawn. Ask Ask Ask!
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from JeanieC
(JeanieC) DO Angels really have wings?
(barbaramark) Some do, some don't.
(Jeannie) Barbara....MANY have asked...WHAT do Angels LOOK
like.....
(barbaramark) I guess they dress for us so we can understand
them. lol. Actually, angels come in so many shapes and sizes
from little teeny fireflys to great big OMIGOD angels, that they
appear in the best way we can accept.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from nabicki718:
(nabiki718) What if you've done bad things in your life? Will
your angel leave you? Do they ever leave you?
(barbaramark) Your angels will NEVER EVER leave you. They do not
judge you or scold you or abandon you.
(nabiki718) do they become disappointed?
(barbaramark) Angels, like God, are PURE LOVE and you can count
on them to be there any time you need them. One of their duties
is to PROTECT you. Another is to LOVE you, and also to BE WITH
YOU ALWAYS.
(nabiki718) That's great to know, thanks :)
(barbaramark) They will never leave you and will come at the
breath of need.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Cath:
(Cath) Do Angels have free will like human beings?
(barbaramark) No, they tell me that they can only do God's will.
Free will means that they have choice between good and bad or
hot and cold or whatever polarity is available at the time. As
part of God, they are only love and cannot choose any other
mode. Even their work is done at God's will.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from forjr:
(forjr) Have you ever experienced GOD, like felt you were
communicating with him directly not through the angels? Is that
possible?
(barbaramark) Yes, it is. I get messages from God when I ask.
Most people start with angels, but any time you want God to come
to you, he is available. Just ASK, Believe, Let it Happen, and
Say Thank You. The first time God came to me I about fainted,
but his love was so pure and his strength was so helpful, I knew
I didn't need to be afraid. The truth is, as human beings we
can't believe we are worthy enough for angels or other beings to
come to us at all. The angels come to us to teach us we are
worthy of All That Is, and they will teach us how to connect
with out fear.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from bopobessa:
(bopopessa) You mentioned that angels WRITE to communicate with
you. Is there anything we can do to have our angels/guides write
to us?
(barbaramark) Absolutely! That is why I am here. Our book
Angelspeake teaches it thoroughly... but all you have to do is
get a pen and paper, take a deep breath, and ASK your question.
I use the 'puter, cuz the message usually comes so fast that I
can't write fast enough. Then write down your question. Or just
start with, 'Dear Angels, do you have anything you want to teach
me today?' Then write what you know to write.
There is a voice in your inner knowing that will tell you what
to put down, and as you type or write, you will find that it
makes sense. Keep going. The messages evolve as you are doing
the writing. We have taught (my sister and I--Trudy Griswold)
thousands and thousands of people to talk to their angels, and
so can you. Sometimes people make it harder than it is, but if
you just keep it simple you will get a message.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Karin:
(Karin) Can we change angels if we don't like them???
(barbaramark) Sure. Just ask for another one. They don't have
egos so you can't hurt their feelings. I had one one time, that
all he/she did was to tell me how much he/she loved me. Now that
was nice, but after awhile, I wanted a little more "meat" to my
question, so I asked for another angel for an answer. It's okay
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from dustball:
(dustball) Why do people get pennies from heaven? Are these from
our angel? What do they mean?
(barbaramark) Oh, I love pennies from heaven (My sis found a $20
bill in Grand Central Station once...WOW It shows that
everything comes from God and he is supplying our every need. I
put all my findings in a special box and keep it in my feng shui
abundance corner. Amazing how many eventually add up.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Simple Abundance:
(simple_abundance) Barbara ..I was wondering ..what did you do
for a living or what was your life like before the angels woke
you and changed your path?
(barbaramark) I was on unemployment. I had just moved to San
Diego from Wyoming and was scared to death. I was working as a
temp from time to time, and didn't necessarily believe in
angels...not for ME anyway. When the angels came to me, I asked
after a week or two when I was going to get a real job...They
said I wasn't. I worked for God now.
(simple_abundance) What a pleasant change for you ...thank you
for sharing...lovely!
(barbaramark) OMIGOD...I about fainted on that one! I didn't
want to work for God. I wanted $10.00 and hour and benefits!
Then I'd work for God. Needless to say, my human being self
didn't like that at all, but I do work for God, and it has been
pretty good. HEH HEH
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Suewech:
(suewech) How can you know that it is a Good Angel answering
your questions and not the other kind trying to mislead you?
(barbaramark) Because I believe I get what I expect. I work with
God's angelic kingdom, I do not consider that any other being
will come to me, and that is who shows up. I believe that if you
worry about the "dark stuff" showing up, you are attracting that
very thing. Stop thinking about it and it disappears. Believe in
God and all His works and angels, and you will always walk with
him and in his protection.
CAMMY_WebAdmin) Our next question is from zeph:
(zeph) If you know you keep your angels away, because deep down
inside you have a hard time accepting and trusting their love,
but yet being in here u feel them close, but you can't connect
to them, even though you want to, what would be the best way to
go about overcoming that.
(barbaramark) One time when I was doubting, the angels told me
to "put my head in a drawer." It's okay to doubt. Ask your
angels to help you get rid of it. They will.
(zeph) ok.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from LightShare
(lightshare) I've always heard angels, but one night I had a
meditation where I met an angel. At the end of the session I
asked for a hug. (I'm not normally a huggy person, so it came as
a shock when I asked this) but I do remember his wrapping his
wings around us during the hug... the feeling of love was total,
and I felt completely at peace. Was this my imagination, have
you had an angel hug? :)
(barbaramark) I have had many angel hugs, but never have seen an
angel. What a gift! Thank you for sharing. Whenever you don't
feel safe, you can always go back into that experience and know
that you are truly protected. It isn't necessary to see angels
to believe in them. Most
people never do. It is only necessary to BELIEVE in them.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Anahata:
(Anahata) What criteria do angels use in picking the person they
have decided to help?
(barbaramark) I don't know. But it is sure a good question to
ask your angels. "Why did you pick me?" in fact it is a GREAT
question!
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from NYlight:
(NYlight) In "City of Angels", He choose to "fall" to be with
the one he loved. Is this possible? What is a "fallen Angel"?
(barbaramark) City of Angels was quite a movie, but remember it
was a movie. There were writers and directors and all kinds of
plot lines. Even though I loved the movie, put it down as
"fiction". Why in the world would an angel want to "fall" into
this mess on earth? They may
work with us, but I can't imagine them wanting to live here full
time and give up their angel status.
**********
(CAMMY_WebAdmin) The next question is from Inergi:
(Inergi) Do angels ever need help? If so how can one help them?
(barbaramark) You can help your angels in many ways. Here is
what they are saying to me right now....
'Dear Ones, you can help us by loving.
Love yourself,
Love your earth,
Love your families,
Love your neighbors and friends.
But most of all Love YOURSELF.
The better you treat your self,
The faster you will grow in this lifetime,
and the sooner you can heal your planet of all its ills.
Whatever you do, be good to yourself and know that
we think you are worth being with and loving from our side.
God loves you...we love you, you are worth loving...so do it.'
-Your angels
