Do you believe in guardian angels?

I have an 2mo DD and recently I have been finding white feathers in her cot, pram, Moses basket ect. I mentioned it to my mum and she suggested it could be an angel, I'm a little sceptical but I must admit it is a little bit strange.

So do you believe and have you had any experience of this?

"a lot of people on here don't even know what energy healers actually do. Otherwise you wouldn't be talking about laying on of hands or supernatural powers."

Please enlighten us. What 'energy' are we talking about here that is not supernatural?

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:23

lottie - Google MRI love and you will see loads of examples.

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:23

Côte - that is nonsense. You think everyone see the world exactly as you do, has the same likes and dislikes, the same emotional responses to everything as you do and the same experiences? Really?

Oh, wait..........!

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:24

What is nonsense, lottie?

I'd really love to see what appears to be nonsense to someone who believes anything and everything Grin

Actually I've googled it before. What I read in no way actually proves the existence of love. You can't even physically quantify what love actually is.

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:27

What is nonsense is that, as you suggest cote everyone experiences the world the same way and has exactly the same perceptions, likes and dislikes.

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:28

Placebo effect is brilliant.

And I never said woo is harmful. Except when gullible and vulnerable people are being made to fork out their cash to woo merchants. And except if you have something seriously wrong with you, someone like Indigo says they can heal you, and you turn your back on your treatment.

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:29

"What I read in no way actually proves the existence of love."

You can look at the MRI scan of someone who claims they are in love and see if the 'love' area light up. That is proof.

Maybe you should read some more.

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:29

Where has indigo said she can heal someone? You probably know nothing about what she actually does.

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:30

"What is nonsense is that, as you suggest cote everyone experiences the world the same way and has exactly the same perceptions, likes and dislikes."

Now you are just lying Hmm

I have said nothing of that sort.

I am an energy healer. Clients do pay and they benefit greatly from my work.

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:34

She doesn't say what she does though. You've just assumed.

I've read plenty thanks. Maybe you feel threatened that other people have belief systems that don't fit with yours. Otherwise I can't possibly see why you would feel the need to post so rudely? Grin

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:35

I said everyone has a different reality. A persons reality is their perception and experiences of life.

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:37

It is not rude to point out that you are lying. And you are, when you say "What is nonsense is that, as you suggest cote everyone experiences the world the same way and has exactly the same perceptions, likes and dislikes."

I have not said anything of that sort. You made that up.

This is where you show where I have said what you claim, or apologise.

CoteDAzur · 05/06/2014 12:40

"A persons reality is their perception and experiences of life."

When I said "It's not real", I was obviously referring to THE reality. As in, "the world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them.".

You make stuff up and then attack those statements that nobody said. Am I supposed to respect that, too?

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:40

Oh come off it. You said I was wrong that people have different realities.

I will not apologise because I don't think I have said anything I need to apologise for.

So we'll just agree to differ. Smile

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:42

I haven't attacked you for your beliefs but you have continually made sarcastic comments to others for no particular reason just because they don't agree with you.

Hakluyt · 05/06/2014 12:48

"Oh come off it. You said I was wrong that people have different realities."

Can you have different realities? Different opinions, or points of view, or beliefs, of course. But realities?

lottieandmias · 05/06/2014 12:54

Yes, a person's reality is what is true for them so clearly this can differ. Reality refers to individual experiences as well. IMO but this is where i think our opinions differ possibly.

No. But I'd like to believe. It's such a nice idea.

headinhands · 05/06/2014 16:52

But we're not talking about the interpretation of a situation we're talking about an actual thing. How do we know zebras and daisies and clouds are real? They exist outside of us regardless of what we call them.

What do guardian angels do? Why don't they stop child rapists? Is it the same reason god doesn't? Why are angels so bad at their job in poor countries?

headinhands · 05/06/2014 16:53

Do we all have guardian angels? Even child rapists?
