To believe in angels ..a type of update!

[Innerskeptic]

I wrote on here a couple of months ago about seeing repetitive number patterns and tiptoed around the idea of believing in guardian angels to help and guide me as I was going through a difficult time . I am the biggest skeptic you could meet normally but since I posted on here and got some lovely advice and kind words, there has been continuous number patterns around me all day everyday and essentially my life had turned upside down . My marriage has hit a wall that we are trying to get over but not too successfully , my child with sn reached such high levels of anxiety that I had to get acute psychiatry and psychology involved as we could not cope with his sudden onset of anxiety . That’s improving r but very slowly . A very close friendship that I valued but that was , in truth, drained The life from me, faded out with love . So I feel that maybe there is something there . Am I completely naive or clinging on to hope? Has anyone had this happen to them?

I think you are looking for comfort, order and pattern in your life. Also perhaps a way to predict/explain what is going on, and what might go on next. It's entirely understandable and (i'm going to upset some people now) no different to believing there is a God.

You are free to believe what ever you like. If it comforts you then why not? It can only do any harm if you start making big decisions based upon it, or based upon the belief that it will some how 'save' you in some way.

Anyone? Really
Hope I’m not on my own here as that possibly makes me batshit 😬

As my pagan friend says, 'An' harm ye done, do what ye will'. If it's not harming anyone, believe what you like. I don't see a problem with people having faith as long as they're not forcing it on others (or any type of belief) so why not angels?

There will always be somebody somewhere out there in the world thinking and believing the same thing OP, what ever it might be.

Don't look for validation through anyone else though. It doesn't make any difference what anyone else believes. Find comfort in your own thoughts and ideas and change them to suit yourself.

I go through phases of this and think (in my case at least) it's a form of confirmation bias.

But it usually happens in difficult times of my life and makes me feel comforted or watched over, so it doesn't matter whether it's "real" or subconscious I don't think

It is giving me great comfort. My heart feels heavy with sadness and I am worried that my mental health will not be strong enough to cope with all and that I’ll crash. These coincidences certainly do give me comfort . Perhaps it is bias .it has happened a few times in my life where big changes were about to happen or I was going through change .

Liaste put it perfectly. If it comforts you & you believe, sod what anyone else thinks.

Is there something in it. Yes, I firmly believe so due to my own many experiences & I deny anyone to explain how white gold & purple feathers can fall from mid air over DDs bed in a brand spanking new hospital with hyper allergic everything, but it happened when I was mentally screaming at the heavens to leave her alone & to help her. Or the screaming of "jump" in my ear when walking down a quiet road on a beautiful sunny day without a care in the world. Followed by feeling like I was lifted & thrown some 6 ft away. Meaning that the car that came screaming from nowhere & hit the tree where I would have been standing, missed me. Do I care whether others believe or not, no, absolutely not, because I believe & have had it proven to me many times over.

Yes i believe you. My friend has seen Angels and i believe her. I am a Christian who does believe in spirituality although i have never had these kind of experiences.
