Saved By An Angel
Many people believe in the divinity of the upper realms and in being protected by guardian angels. There are many stories of guardian angels rescuing people.
The skeptics in the world see the guardian angels as being a matter of myth and fantasy. However, despite this there have been many stories told about mysterious angelic beings that appear out of nowhere and rescue people who are in trouble. This angelic interference is almost always welcome because it saves people from a terrible fate, such as a car accident, a bad fall, or illness. After they have done their job, they often disappear as suddenly as they appeared.
Are these beings truly from the angelic realm? Some neuroscientists would tell us that when we are under stress, our brains manufacture things that cause us to hallucinate. The man about to have a heart attack may see a dark angel that he misinterprets to be the angel of death, when really it is a hallucination that is the result of real duress. Brain chemicals can be produced when a person is under physical stress that could have them believe that they are hearing angelic voices, which is in turn mistaken for the protection of a guardian angel.
One of the most famous of these angels was the angel Gabriel that appeared to Mary in the Bible and announced to her that she would be with a child. Yet another famous angel is the one that asked Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary to see the tomb where Jesus was laid to rest and then pointed out that Jesus had risen after crucifixion.
One famous contemporary metaphysical guru is Elizabeth Clare Prophet. She specializes in the art of send me an angel. She teaches people in her book how to pray to a garden angel statue and also create an angel sanctuary in your mind so that your requests can be granted. When in trouble, she recommends the prayer “send me an angel” to rescue you.
Not everyone sees the guardian angel in the classic sense as seen in drawings of angels or in the shape of Victorian angels. Some people believe their guardian angels are celebrities such as James Dean, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. Even older personages throughout history including Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great and Cleopatra can also symbolize guardian angels.
