MEANINGFUL MOMENTS SHARED WITH LOVE

From Fearing to Loving the Unknown

By Sue Malcolm

I never anticipated my fear of the unknown, transforming into such deep love for incredibly kind unseen beings; but life is full of surprises! In my teens I’d find myself in the mind, body and spirit section of bookshops, turning pages engrossed and fascinated by what I read. All too often though, I’d hear “Come on, you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into reading books like that”. Maybe I didn’t but I felt drawn towards them. Nonetheless, I allowed my friends words to exaggerate my mild fear of the unknown and I left the shops empty handed.

Sitting alone, some 30 years later another opportunity to venture into the unknown presented itself. At a time when I struggled to know where my life was heading a silent voice entered my head in a moment of serene solitude informing me of my purpose in life – to help sick, abandoned and cruelly treated animals. ‘Wow! What a fantastic mission!’ I thought. Without any hesitation, I humbly and excitedly accepted this message with immense joy, honour and gratitude. I couldn’t have chosen a more wonderful ‘reason for being’ although I knew little about animals.

I believe my instant acceptance of this anonymous message initiated a wealth of initially frightening but most often incredibly magical and beautiful spiritual experiences, and was the reason for a series of co-incidences beyond my wildest dreams. The latter led me to learning reiki and communicating with animals. The former introduced me to Angels and also opened my eyes, ears and heart to the spiritual world.

I’ll never forget the early proof of Angelic help I experienced thousands of feet above land four years ago. Hearing “please fasten your seat belt, we have just been advised of turbulence ahead” caused nervous tension in every cell of my body. The aroma I’d come to recognize when feeling anxious; and which I’d learned to be amazingly that of an Angel; appeared under my nose. Relieved, I silently whispered “please stop this turbulence? I’m so frightened!” Erratic and uncontrollable bumping instantly ceased, to be replaced with incredibly peaceful stillness and an almost identical repeat performance occurred on the return journey. My eyes watered to think that a heavenly Angel did that for me!

To anyone who fears the world we cannot see, please don’t. We are loved and helped by incredibly kind, caring and very knowledgeable ‘beings’ more that we will ever comprehend. In hard times assistance is always available. Providing our intentions are good, we just need to ask, trust the communication received and give thanks.

I’ve made many mistakes, trusting my own judgement more than the guidance received and have sorely regretted missed opportunities.
