Let us start from the begining.

I first began to be aware of Angels when I was around ten years of age but possible I could have been younger. One of my earliest memories was falling asleep and hearing a high pitch singing in my ears and I could always understand it was something different that I could hear and listen too but I often ignored as something medical. My Angels and yours have always been around whether you are aware of it or not. I have always felt not part of this world and very different to a lot of people. From feeling like a scapegoat to feeling isolated and not feeling like I have a family here. The one thing that I do know is that they exist and whether I defy my heart or listen to my head. They Angels do one thing that not may others have a way of being. That is to be unconditional and ignore the fear and listen to the good and the loving within you.
When I was young, I did not see any Angels but I was open and psychic, I saw dark lights such as shadows and demons and I saw many dead people that really freaked me out.
So my story line of my life began being a sensitive person with lots of people misunderstandings , bullying ways and gifts that I didn't even handle in a right way. As a child, I had a religious up bringing which was from an Irish Catholic background. The ways of Mary and Jesus who are real and they are the gentle, loving and respectful to me and even know as I write. My head discounts their true self. I have had to fight the ego because as I grow up and my living environment affects my beliefs. I have to work through it.
So as a child, I would go through the notion of going to church on Sundays, I would have to go to Holy Communion and learn the religious rituals that the church placed upon you and they made you learn the rite of fearing God not being loved by a loving God who does protect, nurture and love.
The Catholic Church growing up was fun as a child. The child in me would laugh at the sternest of the congregation. I saw through the control mechanism of the church. As a child, my enquiring mind questioned things such as If Jesus is the head of the body, then why is the Pope classed as the leader of the church when Jesus should be? or I would ask if "Jesus told people that we only have one father and he is in heaven. Why do we have to call the priest a "Father" he ain't my father.
Angels were never really taught, they were seen as emblems or "arww that is an angel" or the main story within Catholicism is how Archangel Gabriel blew his trumpet and told Mary that she was going to go dating Joseph and have baby Jesus.
So this was my innocent mind growing up. That is my early steps into what I know now and how Angels are here really to tell people you are allowed to live a free and loving life. Bless them sometimes its so difficult in the society that we live in to allow more love to be in our lives and to really open up your mind in a safe way to our loving dimensions that indeed exist.
