Signs: Sent by angels of light or angels of darkness?

[Michelle11]

I was very strongly and distinctly urged to walk a particular path. At first blush it appeared to be a very worthwhile path and yet the end result had a devastating affect on my emotional well being. It seemed to me I was misguided because things went so horribly wrong it had to be a mistake but it wasn't. The situation wasn't what I wanted but it was what my soul needed so that it could learn a very valuable lesson that would ultimately free it from some very negative thinking. No path is good or bad. They all just hold lessons. Some harder than others and some that may make us question life more deeply but those are the paths that hold the most promise for advancement of our soul. Even a wrong turn teaches us what that turn is all about so we are aware the next time we reach a similar intersection.

I was continuously guided to reconnect with my Twin Flame and he never even replied to an email or picked up the phone when I called. I was devastated, but the Universe was guiding me for a reason. We're not being misguided. We're being guided to an outcome that is for the highest good. The Universe does not make mistakes.

I am in total agreement with that Awakened Queen, we are always being guided for higher good and for our own well being.

Sometimes we don't see it, or rather don't wish to see it, sometimes stepping outside of ourselves for a while we will see it. It takes me a while to understand why something has happened to me, why was I guided to do this and when I follow my insticts it ends up with a disasterous outcome and I'm left disheartened, reeling and questioning every move I make... and there is one of my answers; I'm learning to question instead of just accepting. I use my own judgement but I also have learned not to take things as is. I know my guides want me to be independant and not rely upon all that I am given. Its not that I'm naive, its that I'm too trusting and accepting, I've opened myself up to trust more than I should, I felt if it was a sign it was meant to be... especially when they kept coming.

Not sure if any of that makes any sense. I have learned to take signs for what they are and I am learning to trust what they are and yes, they are all from the angels, how do I know? I just do. Even the ones I thought weren't were, are. And I still get them, and I still smile in wonder at receiving them. All of them. And I know that by me questiong the signs is a good thing, its a sign of my own spiritual growth and with this knowledge I can hear my angels and guides applauding me at reaching a new plateau of my journey.
I am one step closer than I had been... and even though I've been through a lot of heartbreak on this journey there's also been a lot of good. I've learned a lot. Most of all I've learned how to open my heart again. And to trust -- to trust myself and to forgive myself.

None of this has to make sense to anyone else, its my journey and my resolution to what I've been searching for.
And even though where I am today is not where I had planned but I would never had met some of the people I met on this plan I'm on now, and I met 2 of my closest friends on this journey and id have never met them before. And that is a good thing.

Letting the universe do its job is the best thing we can do. Allowing it to take us where we are meant to be, instead of fighting it, questioning it but learning to ultimately accept the outcome, heartbreaks and all.

yep totally agree. I struggled with this for a long time, well maybe "contemplated" is a better word. You need to carefully consider it, that's how the angel communication works best, when your faculties are calibrated for it- that takes time to develop.
One thing that came up was, spirit told me, don't struggle too much with doubt, it becomes paranoia. As long as you have asked for guidance and protection from deceit, and you have aligned your intentions with your values, you can go ahead and have confidence that it works. The deceiver spirits want to suck your energy; they like energy from fear. Their attempts to give you false info are not so refined. Believe it or not, they lack precision, they can disguise themselves only so far- this is their weakness, because the light IS greater than the dark. The dark is persistent and prevalent and voracious and determined at times, but it lacks precision and is not as intelligent as the Light. Be confident in your angels

That hasn't been my experience.
God doesn't send messengers or angels in form these days.
You arn't going to realize they've even helped you, if they do (my personal experience).
If you have grounded yourself in the lord, via praying to Jesus on a regular basis for many years, then eventually you begin to grow in spirit (and attend regular meetings to help you base your life on his teachings)....all elementary stuff that people don't like to spend their time doing.

Grounded is grounded.

Only after many years, will this level (learning about Christ) be in effect before you begin to shift toward more self determination (in my humble experience of it).

And only if Christ is in your heart and you have a firm grasp of the basics (not lying, cheating and keeping yourself separate from the herd mentality that is indicative of this time and age)....will this even happen.

Growing in spirit is not an easy path.
It won't follow any Church doctrine, to a certain extent.

You go it alone (which most people just won't do).

Only when you have completed this step, will the next appear.
No signs needed.

Just realizations that you have finished something, and need to move on, in order to grow with Christ's spirit, in your heart, as your guide.

My experience has been that my angels of light can still teach me through reverse psychology when I fear or don't want to listen. Then my signs can sometimes lead me to disappointment although disappointment has taught me a few important lessons too. So just because a sign or message does not bring what you want, or can even hurt, does not mean it's of the darkness. Instead it's made me grow stronger and more able to own my truth.

Lol that is EXACTLY what my angels have done!! Used reverse pyschology on me!! I'm so caught up in the whole sign stuff, or rather I had been caught up in it that I don't know when its a sign or not and now they've switched it up on me to the point I now know that its a sign from them.

I have to laugh at their sense of humor, they know I love a good laugh and will laugh at just about anything... they know I try to find humor in the most mundane things and I enjoy their sense of humor.

I've learned To find the positive in every situation that's thrown at me, even the most negative ones and that is when my angels shine the brightest -- or rather I shine the brightest. The angels don't like to take any credit, they are more than happy to oblige.

I know this will sound a bit silly but to me its been quite fun, uve taken a job recently in receiving in a well known store here in the US, and at first it wore me out to the point I was wiped out, so exhausted I didn't know what I was doing at work... I'm still exhausted but I can and do make it through an 10 hour day when I'm asked to work a few extra hours... well we have to "donut" or "nub" the clothes we hang, which means we put a plastic "donut" with the size of the piece of clothing. Sounds easy? Lol its not, believe me its a lot harder than you think!! Putting them on the hanger is easy its finding the darn size that's a pain!! Some of them are in the wrong places or mixed in with other sizes so you can be in search of a size 10 for a while... well the angels have taken it upon themselves to help me, I've been intuitively been guided to "find" the sizes I need!!

Ill be searching for a size 46 and bam!! The next pocket I look in viola there it is!!

I had to work over night when I first started and we were "donuting" like crazy and that's when it started to happen like crazy!!l I mean like every size was right there for me over and over!! It made my life a lot easier and it made thingsh a bit more enjoyable working where I do... especially that night.

I've been there a month and I've gotten better at my job and finding the correct sizes but every now and then when I have a difficult size to find there it is!!

Its amazing how happy the angels are to help!! What could have been a very difficult job has become a bit easier with their help. I lovge how they help me with this... they truly are for me, they want me to suceed. And I have with this job.

I struggled terribly the first few weeks, I'm slower than most because of my age and being so out of shape but I've gotten a lot quicker and though I'm still slow, but I'm accurate. I check for my own mistakes more than once. Being OCD helps lol!! I try not to let anything go out to the floor that's wrong!!

I've also learned that the angels don't need the recognition the way we do, a simple thank you, smile of gratitude is sufficient and they don't take any credit. Its what they do best -- help you when you ask.

I'm learning to trust what the angels send me, intuitively, the doubt is from me and yes from angels of darkness, however they aren't responsible for the mishaps as I once believed, they were things I was meant to go through and yes to make me stronger and wiser.

I've learned and have become a lot stronger and al whole lot wiser than I once was. I've learned to question, not to take things at face value the way I once did. But I've also learned whom I can trust and even if I'm not sure I have to have faith that all will work out the way its meant to do.

My not trusting and wanting to believe it was angels of darkness is my own insecurities, my not being able to trust. Since writing this I've grown a tremendous amount, both spiritually and mentally.

I've learned the less I rely upon my angels and spirituality the more my angels help me, the quicker solutions come to me. Its quite miraculous how far I've come, all I've been taught without even realizing that I was being taught a thing.

And even though I'm still going through a hell of sorts I've found the silverlining, and while I'm not satisfied with it, I've learned to be content until its time to move on. Not saying I won't and haven't balked at what's going on, I'm human and we have frailities but I've learned not to give up, that this is not the end of my journey regardless how stuck I feel.

Yes I feel so alone, very, very lonely but within my loneliness I know GOD is with me stronger than ever before. At one time I. Couldn't feel HIS love for me during my darkest hours, now I can, its then I stop to reflect and KNOW I'm not alone. HE Has sent HIS angelique beings of pure light to help guide me. To help lead me to where I'm meant to be.

I'm no special than anyone else, yet we all are very special and unique, some of us have recognized what it is we need and want, recognized the beauty of what GOD has bestowed upon us and while its taken some of us longer I know there is something more. And I'm not alone.
