Although I wouldn't say I'm psychic particularly, I do find that I'm very confident when dealing with situations alone as I feel I have some sort of protective influence over me.

This is because, they respect free will. If you don't ask for help, they aren't exactly going to force it upon you either.

At least, these are my thoughts.

Yes I agree with that RST. I wouldn't want them around ALL the time anyway, like invading my personal space. They seem to be there in times of crisis in my experience. Eg I once almost got swept out to sea in the Pacific Ocean by a strong ripcurrent and I felt someone was looking out for me that day because as soon as panic started to set in and the thought suddenly rushed through me that this was how I was going to die, I got swept back to land.

I know that sounds rubbish, but I've often had moments like that.

Sometimes I think they intervene in ways which you don't like at the time but in the long run work out for the best.

ETA: Same here Mercuranian!

I am starting to think that what they seen was actually my inner child.

A Hawaiian doctor, Dr Hew Len, believes that the inner child is the subconscious, and the conscious is the mother, and the superconscious, the father, archetypes.

He also believes that good health comes from good relationships between these archetypes.

Based on this, I could surmise that a child spirit being seen by someone could indicate a need for nurturing that part of the psyche.

He believes that the inner child holds all the early memories of separation, attachment, pain, etc. So, consciously (as the mother) we should take care of this child, and help it let go of these memories, so that they no longer operate on us, subconsciously directing our behaviour and feelings from a place of pain. The child doesn't have the capacity to process the memories, only the mother (conscious) can love the child through this process, to help them realise that they are a vessel, carrying these imprints, but that they are actually pure at heart when the memories are let go of.

But one experience a guy shared with me sounds like it might fit and probably be appreciated here. When he was a tween boy he was haunted by a breathing under his bed that eventually became words which knew things (like told him when his mom was listening to them talk at the door which turned out to be true) and showed him the future in dreams in which his invisible friend appeared as a blond boy in white his own age. One day this spirit vanished and he didn't know why.

But a couple years later he found himself about to drown in a large pool with artificial waves and so tired he simply gave up...when he heard a blond lifeguard (though adult rather than his own age) in white swim trunks shouting at him like a drill sergeant to come to him. Being a tired boy he instinctively did as he was told and once he made it he realized that lifeguard saved his life...but when he looked around there was no such lifeguard around. He's sure that was his (mostly) invisible friend who had come back for a short while.

You would not believe the things that happen to me. I don't mean to be morbid but if people go after me, they seem to have bad things happen to them lol

I've been in two car accidents where the car was more or less obliterated and I wasn't even scratched. In the second case, the paramedics who arrived on the scene could not believe their eyes and persuaded me to go to the hospital to get checked for internal injuries. It did occur to me at the time that perhaps my deceased mother had intervened, encircled me somehow, repelled the crush of metal all around me.

Shortly after my father died I had a few "conversations" with him through electrical anomalies (same as I did with my mother) and since then I've had an all-around, vague feeling of protection, though no car accidents and no dramatic rescues.

That feeling of protection was temporarily challenged or removed last summer when I dealt with some paranormal activity. The kind of activity I came to depend on my parents' spirits to keep away from me.

To not have a sense of spiritual protection for once gave me an idea of just how strong my usual sense of protection really is (hence the screen name), and how valuable it is.

Weirdly, in desperation I had asked a few of my Christian friends to pray for me, to ward off this evil spirit that was around me, and it seems to have been effective. It's the only thing I changed, and as soon as they started praying, it stopped.

When he shared that with me I pointed out his vivid NDE when he was very young and said perhaps that had opened him to the spirit world the way such experiences have done for plenty of tribal cultures and he thought that plausible (though he also has a Pisces moon). That is to say had he not nearly died when he was very little then he'd almost certainly died at 14 because he wouldn't have seen that phantom lifeguard yelling at him (assuming my guess is correct on that).

Interesting story.

I would be very surprised, that if there is such a thing as an angelic force, that it would do "bad" things to anyone.

I also wouldn't laugh out loud if it did.

Hoho! the things I could say about this.

But well
to answer the question... 'if there's someone looking after us'. Then the answer is yes.

[edit] and I have to mention that it's very, possible that Oneself is always looking after oneself.
I find it kind... of pointless to be always expecting to receive "external help", when connecting with your Inner-self, your True-Self is also important.

Sometimes it's better "looking inside" than outside (like a defenceless child), crying out for an adult's help. We are not 4000 BC anymore.

Such beigns called "angels" would agree with this, I think so.

How does it help to relish another's misfortune?

Oh, I understand your point.

And I rarely, well... hardly ever comment about a LL .member instead of the topic in question

But I have to say that I see no malice in Ami Anne's words. Ma'am just... doesn't know. Not knowing, doesn't make you "bad", "malicious", etc.

Hmmm...
But well... yes, in fact...

In any case any such entities wouldn't do much to help me if I were in trouble, they'd just watch with interest to see how I handled it. (That said I did have a few notable psychic experiences regarding danger which I assumed was just me but it's plausible that someone/something alerted me to the danger but I couldn't consciously perceive the warning and thus experienced it as a strange psychic flash.)

Though interesting enough when I took shrooms I felt myself commune with an invisible source (I often say "the shrooms" but maybe the shrooms just opened me up to something, either my higher self or even some divine force) that knew me even better than I knew myself and would communicate by making memories of mine float to the surface to show me what it meant about me, and it was quite insightful (this was when I came to realize that school was actually slowing me down when it came to learning rather than facilitating it which was the biggest reason I despised school despite my love of learning).

I think the shrooms facilitated my vision of Freya later (not that it was alone responsible but it was an essential component, but then plenty of kids that age had similar visions that helped them survive without any history of psychedelic use so maybe I'm assuming too much). That vision was intense and kept me from suicide and even helped me turn my life around. Yet it's important to note that she wasn't some genie or bodyguard, she told me she expected me to grow up and stand on my own feet (ultimately beside her) rather than a child calling out for someone else to save me. Basically all she did (from my perspective at the time) was show me the nature of my True Self so that if I chose suicide then it would be more of an INFORMED choice.
