Am I the only one who finds that Angels have distinct personalities? Human-like despite their detatchment from physical influences... for example, Raphael is really funny and easy-going, Michael is serious and strong but still kind, Gabriel is always busy and in a rush (I think he/she does it on purpose though, Angels don't have the same tiem as we do ^___^ What about your experiences? Have any other Angels shown distinct differences for you?

I do find that angels have different personalities. I always remember Michael being firm and strong, yet kind. I haven't had much experience with Rapheal though. Gabriel, on the other hand I've had a lot of experience with, but don't remember him/her being in always in a rush. Perhaps, I have a different sense of time when with Gabriel.

That's weird... today I was sitting near my college waiting to be picked up when my mind suddenly projected to me the colors green and pink. I suddenly started feeling really happy and giddy, like a rush of joy, and I remember asking "Medatron, are you dancing with me again?" (I felt like something was whirling around me in a blissful kind of way.)
The answering rush of joy I guess was an affirmative... but I'm still not sure if it was really Medatron or another angel or just my own spirit guides having fun. I'm not very good at telling the difference, and I've never really experienced much contact with the archangels - any insights?
If it was Medatron, then he's definitely a very happy, light hearted fellow. =)

Laurel ~ I'm slightly inclinced to disagree, as Angels don't have time limitations like we do. They can be in several places simultaneously, and when they are called, they stay with you. Gabriel can't be busy or in a rush, because time doesn't exist for her :-)

I don't know the name of the one angel I've met. He was very laid back and reassuring: exactly the type of person I needed near me when he came to me (I was drowning in quicksand at the time and he pulled me out without getting any on himself).

You were drowning in quicksand? I know this is offtopic, but how did that happen?

well, off topic as it is I'll post it here: I was about seven years old and I was on school holiday but my parents were setting up a new farm so we didn't go on any long vacation. Anyway they took me with them to buy shelter trees, and they'd heard that someone was selling some very cheaply but you had to go to the back of his farm to get them. Anyway there was this quicksand we had to walk through the edge of, and the first time I went through it only came up to my ankles but just about pulled my boots off with each step. After a while I got bored with my parents and went to go back to the car but on the way back through the quicksand I fell into a hole and went right in over my head. I had almost started drowning when the angel grabbed me and pulled me out. He didn't say for a chat or anything just vanished as soon as he'd put me down on clean ground.

Wow, Jeremy, that's amazing! I remember while moving down here to California we had to bring our cat with us in the moving truck. She wasn't used to traveling and was dehydrated and hot, I think she was dying from lack of water, I was really worried about her and scared (my cat and I share a very close bond). We stopped at a truck stop and I left her in the truck seat and went in to use the bathroom. When I came back out, a little old lady with glasses and a huge smile approached me and said, "If you wrap a wet towel around your cat's head and give her something to drink, she'll be much better."
I have no idea how the lady knew about my cat and I thought it was very weird and coincidental that there just happen to be a "Cat lady" at this truck stop in the middle of nowhere. I thanked her and walked off, I didn't believe in angels at the time but now that I think back on it, I feel that she was one. ^_^
Waterjag: when did you meet the angel? How?

How did they behave?
And yes, I often use that healing energy, it comes very natural to me. =) I think it does to everyone past a certain point. It's wonderful, isn't it? Hehe. That's really cool about seeing the angel tho, how did you know for sure?

Hm, would it be common for angels to have a feeling of being used by people and never getting anything in return? Save for the joy of helping someone?

Since they were created with the sole purpose to serve and help, I'd imagine that serving and helping would be what fulfills them the most, no matter what they get in return. I kinda think that trying to apply a lot of human emotions and responses to angels is inaccurate because their purpose, evolution, and challenges are just completely different from ours. For instance, this whole "incarnated angel" thing I'm kinda doubtful on, because I don't see a reason why the angels would need to incarnate in the first place (it would be a waste of effort since their challenges don't even lie on Earth), and the energy I've gotten from the ones I've met just seems to be too powerful to be contained in a human body.
Oh wow, I totally rambled, lol! That's just my humble opinion though, of course I could be wrong. ^_^

Hm, that's true. However emotions tend to be universial, feelings ect. Even though the words we link to them aren't important, it is the connection the word implys. I would be inclined to feel that Angels aren't an emotional void, perhaps they have a more complex level of emotions, or a less complex (based on their nature of existence)
The reason I asked this though (Note, i'm not claiming to be an angel) But I tend to help alot of people...countless people infact, I couldn't e ven tell you the names of half the people I help. If someone is going through a hard time in their life i'll become their friend in a day, and i'll be there for them and seeminly have the ability to relate to them and be suited to them. However when they no longer need my help they vanish and withdraw themselfs. Which proves for a very lonely existence.
Now Angels, of course having each others company may expirance something simaluar, putting all their energy into helping something and then having them be strong enough to be alone, it feels like part of you is incomplete for a short time, or that you weren't good enough or strong enough to help.

I'm wishing to learn something. Give more details of the moment leading up to helping these people. What does it mean to you?

Well, i'll take one specific example...for your benifit.
A girls best friend had just gone away, she was feeling sad and lonely and had a lot on her mind. I started t alking to her knowing this and trying to make her life alittle better, we back friends, rather close. Went to sleep on each others shoulders ect (Nothing like lovers, because i have my Caliena and would never be unfaithful). Anyway I more or less became her best friend, she told me things she'd told none of her other friends...Then about a week before her best friend came back, I told her that when she returned i'd fade and vanish out of her life, she told me "That's not true, you wont" a week after her best friend came back she stopped talking to me. Of course I was sad, I don't get close to very many people, though I guess it was for the best. How I felt after helping her, and when she vanished? Well I clung to Cal for like three weeks:P. How I felt during it...no different than normal. What does helping them mean to me? I don't really know, i'd venture at nothing? if it meant something to me it'd have a price, it'snot something I can chose to do, it's just something I do.

#1. It's nice to hear from -you- specifically because you're here. You brought up the idea of helping people, and I wanted to hear your story.
#2. There's no doubt in my mind that you can teach me something about what it means to help another person.
I wish for you to continue to share your helping stories. Sincerely, Cherise

Okay....here's another one...this one is stricten in fantasy and what may seem to be a different world than this one...
I can't remember exactly how long ago I met someone going by the name of Myrddin (As you may know Myrddin is the celtic spelling of Merlin) he had just left Keri (her name was longer but I forgot) or more she left him. Myrddin believed that Keri was an 'ancient' (Exactly what this means, an ancient soul) that had vast and unbelievable powers, however could not see him anymore. Her physical form was over 40, his under 16. Me being me at the time didn't find anything remotely odd with this and started helping him to find her, I saw images of an abondoned house with her being 'imprisoned' or in 'statis'. I took this littarly being unexpiranced with my gifts and told him to look for an abondoned house in a city which I felt was close to him. He looked and found nothing. He was of course during this time increadbly depression and I was trying to help him through it. We were both strongly involved in a world created by a person that goes by "Tilly" and believed the lies that were being fed to us, my physical body, appeared to by dying through this time, having sever chest pains blocks in my wind pipe, sucidal tendancies, and anarecia. Though I still tried to help him, finding more and more visions and getting what i believed to be 'more nad more' accurate. However the visions we're just trying to tell me something, which...sadly I missed completely. Me and Myrddin were best friends for a long time, till he found a girl called Angelica, and got together. Then he stopped talking to me. I was there when he needed someone, then he left...just before this I managed to pull him and everyone else more or less from the lies Tilly had created...
Anyway long story short he sends me an IM about 2 years after he vanishes and claims I lied to him about Keri, which I was sure I didn't however was true. If that makes any sense...though I helped him through what he neded in life then he vanished.
Another, more violent example:
I had a friend called Nericissa (Ner-iss-a) she would lie to everyone and tell us how horrible her life was, i listened and talked to her, she trusted me and told me things she'd never told anyone before, naturally these were lies. Her best friend had more or less disowned her and I was the only one really 'there' for her, then she met Shane. Lying to us all and going to see him.
From what I can see my soul point of existence and my relationships with people tend to exist to help them and be there when no one else will then be pushed into the background.

Wow, cool story. I can't say that I get the whole thing, but I love the fantastical nature of what you're saying.
What do you do to help yourself?

Caerai, I can relate to your last example. What you said there especially in the last sentecne resonated with me. It seems like I do the same thing. The people that have noone I am there for and eventually I become pointless for the person. They find someone else... actually it seems they come back to me but just when they want something... perhaps I just let people walk all over me and I never know it. This girl I became close to recently attacked my character and everything she said about me in a positive light she completely recanted. It seems it was all lies.
sorry this was off topic from angel personalities
