Can the deceased become a guardian angel. Afterworld

How do they become angels

The soul of every dead person goes through the Last Judgment. A person is shown his whole life and asked to comment on what good he has done over the years. Bad deeds and words are monitored very strictly. And many times it becomes insanely ashamed of the life lived on Earth. To assess the earthly life of the deceased, the archangels use such concepts as: spiritual development, the ability to empathize with others, care and the desire to do good. Before a dead person, the past life "passes" like a kind of movie from a huge number of moments. Some of them, as on the screen, scroll rapidly, and some slowly. Sometimes the image may stop so that the deceased can better remember everything that happened then. Before judgment, you must truthfully condemn every negative act or negative thought you have.

The archangels strictly criticize the moments of life, explaining what they should have done in order to correct their mistakes. But these judges are very fair. They do not hesitate to praise for all meritorious deeds. Each action of the deceased is discussed for a long time, and then a verdict is issued. These are the prosecutors who do no leniency to anyone. For the life given to you, you must answer before the court.

But every dead person has a lawyer at this terrible trial. This is a guardian angel who has been with him throughout his life. And he fiercely defends the rights of the dead soul, trying to minimize the punishment and mitigate the sentence.

The result of the passed life is summed up by Archangel Michael. He counts positive and negative deeds. The deceased must score 600 points, which will help him avoid a new reincarnation and be sent to Earth to correct his mistakes in a new life. Even a minor lie, any refusal, even a spiritual impulse or thought, any initiative is taken into account. Everything is included in the calculations. And only the one who scored 600 points can become a more perfect being in the new world and forever get rid of the “flesh prison” and return to Earth, to the world of despair and suffering.

A soul that has scored 600 points can choose for itself: whether to return to Earth or become a Guardian Angel to help people develop spiritually while living among them.

And if the soul has decided to become an Angel, your former, earthly Guardian Angel escorts you to the tunnel. This is the path to the land of Angels, where you will have to learn to be the guardian of human souls. Now, stepping into this territory, you get your angel instructor who will teach you the profession of an angel, tell you what to do, and help you acquire new skills and abilities.

To become an Angel for a dead soul is a great privilege. Now you will never have to be born again to go through earthly suffering again. And this is the best gift for a person after death.

In these cases, the deceased is usually greeted by two angels. Here is how the author of “Incredible for many…” describes them: “And as soon as she (the old nurse) uttered these words (“Kingdom of Heaven to him, eternal rest…”), two Angels appeared next to me, in one of which I for some reason - then he recognized my Guardian Angel, and the other was unknown to me. Later, one pious wanderer explained to him that it was "an oncoming Angel." St. Theodore, whose path after death through air ordeals is described in the life of St. Basil the New (X century, March 26), says: “When I was completely exhausted, I saw two Angels of God approaching me in the form of beautiful youths; their faces were bright, their eyes looked with love, the hair on their heads was white as snow and shone like gold; the clothes were like the light of lightning, and on the chest they were cross-girded with golden belts. Gallic Bishop of the 6th century, St. Salvius describes his experience of death as follows: “When my cell shook four days ago and you saw me lying dead, I was raised by two angels and carried to the very top of heaven” (St. Gregory of Tours. History of the Franks. VII, 1).

The duty of these Angels is to accompany the soul of the deceased on his journey to the afterlife. There is nothing indeterminate either in their appearance or in their actions — having a human appearance, they firmly grasp the “subtle body” of the soul and lead it away. “The bright angels took her (soul) into their arms” (St. Theodore). “Taking me by the arms, the Angels carried me right through the wall from the ward…” (“Incredible for many…”). St. Salvius was "lifted up by two Angels". Similar examples could be continued.

Therefore, it cannot be argued that the “luminous being” from modern cases, which has no visible form, does not see the soul anywhere, which draws the soul into a conversation and shows it “reverse frames” of its past life, is an Angel accompanying to the afterlife. Not every being that appears as an Angel is really an Angel, because Satan himself takes on the form of an Angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). And therefore, about beings that do not even have the appearance of Angels, it can be said with certainty that these are not Angels. For a reason that we will try to explain below, in modern "post-mortem" experiences, apparently, there are never any undoubted encounters with Angels.

Could it then be that the "luminous being" is in fact a demon disguised as an Angel of Light to tempt the dying when his soul leaves his body? Dr. Moody (Life After Life, pp. 107-108, Reflections, pp. 58-60) and other researchers do raise this question, but only to reject this possibility in connection with the "good" the effect that this phenomenon produces on the dying. Of course, the views of these researchers on evil are naive to the limit. Dr. Moody believes that "Satan seems to be instructing his servants to follow the path of hatred and destruction" (Afterlife, p. 108) and appears to be completely unfamiliar with Christian literature describing the true nature of demonic temptations, which are invariably presented to their victims as something "good".

What is the Orthodox teaching about demonic temptations at the hour of death? St. Basil the Great in his interpretation of the words of the psalm: save me from all my persecutors and deliver me; may he not pluck out my soul like a lion (Ps. 7, 2-3), gives the following explanation: , being at the end of life, the prince of this age is trying to keep them in his possession, if there are wounds on them received during the struggle, or any stains and imprints of sin. And if they are found unharmed and unstained, then as invincible, as free, they will rest in Christ. Therefore, the Prophet prays for the future and present life. Here he says: save me from the persecutors, and there during the trial: deliver me, but not when like a lion he steals my soul. And this you can learn from the Lord Himself, Who, before suffering, says: The prince of this world is coming, and has nothing in Me (John 14:30)” (vol. 1, p. 104).

Indeed, not only Christian ascetics have to face a demonic test at the hour of death. St. John Chrysostom in his "Conversations on the Evangelist Matthew" figuratively describes what happens to ordinary sinners at the time of death: they shake it with great force and terrifyingly look at those who are coming, while the soul tries to stay in the body and does not want to be separated from it, horrified by the vision of the approaching angels. For if we, looking at terrible people, tremble, then what will be our torment, when we see the approaching angels of formidable and inexorable forces, when they will drag our soul and tear it away from the body, when it will sob a lot, but in vain and without benefit ”( Conversation 53, vol. 3, pp. 414-415).

The Orthodox lives of the saints are full of stories of such demonic spectacles at the time of death, the purpose of which is usually to frighten the dying and make them despair of their own salvation. For example, St. Gregory, in his Conversations, tells of a rich man who was a slave to many passions: “Shortly before his death, he saw vile spirits standing in front of him, savagely threatening to take him to the depths of hell ... The whole family gathered around him, weeping and groaning. Although they could not, according to the patient himself, by the pallor of his face and the trembling of his body, understand that there were evil spirits. In mortal fear of these terrible visions, he tossed about on the bed from side to side ... And now, almost exhausted and desperate for any kind of relief, he shouted:

“Give me time until morning! Be patient until the morning!” And with that his life was interrupted” (IV, 40). St. Gregory tells of other similar cases, as does Bede in his "History of the English Church and People" (Book V, ch. 13, 15). Even in 19th-century America, such cases were not uncommon; A recently published anthology contains stories from the past century that carry headlines like: "I'm on fire, get me out!", "Oh, save me, they're dragging me away!", "I'm going to hell!" and The Devil Comes to Drag My Soul to Hell (John Myers. Voices on the Edge of Eternity. Spire Books, Old Tappan, N.J., 1973, pp. 71, 109, 167, 196).

However, Dr. Moody says nothing of the sort: essentially, in his book, all the experiences of the dying (with the noteworthy exception of suicide, see pp. 127-128) are pleasurable, whether Christian or non-Christian, religious or not. On the other hand, Dr. Osis and Haraldson in their research found something not so far removed from this experience.

These scholars found in their studies of American cases what Dr. Moody found: the appearance of otherworldly visitors is perceived as something positive, the patient accepts death, this experience is pleasant, causes calmness and elation, and often - the cessation of pain before death. In studies of Indian cases, at least one third of the patients who saw the phenomena experienced fear, oppression and anxiety as a result of the appearance of "yamduts" ("heralds of death", Hindi) or other creatures; these Indians resist or try to avoid otherworldly messengers. Thus, in one case, a dying Indian clerk said: “Someone is standing here! He has a cart, probably, it's yamdut. He must be taking someone with him. He teases me that he wants to take me!.. Please hold me, I don't want to!” His pains increased, and he died ("At the hour of death", p. 90). One dying Indian suddenly said, “Here comes the yamdut to take me away. Get me out of bed so that the yamdut won't find me." He pointed out and up: "Here he is." The hospital room was on the first floor. Outside, against the wall of the building, there was a large tree with many crows perched on its branches. As soon as the patient had this vision, all the crows suddenly left the tree with a great noise, as if someone had fired a gun. We were surprised by this and ran out through the open door of the room, but saw nothing to disturb the crows. Usually they were very calm, so it was very memorable for all of us present that the ravens flew away with great noise just when the patient had a vision. As if they, too, felt something terrible. When this happened, the patient lost consciousness and after a few minutes expired (pp. 41-42). Some yamduts have a terrible appearance and cause even more fear in the dying person.

This is the biggest difference between the American and Indian dying experiences in the studies of Dr. Osis and Haraldson, but the authors fail to explain it. The question naturally arises: why is one element almost completely absent from the modern American experience, the fear caused by terrible otherworldly phenomena, so common both to the Christian experience of the past and to the present Indian experience?

We do not need to define precisely the nature of the phenomena of the dying in order to understand that, as we have seen, they depend in some way on what the dying person expects or is ready to see. Therefore, Christians of past centuries, who had a living belief in hell and whose conscience at the end of their lives accused them, often saw demons before they died ... Modern Indians, who, of course, are more “primitive” than Americans, in their beliefs and their understanding, often see beings that match their still very real fears regarding the afterlife. And today's "enlightened" Americans see phenomena consistent with their "comfortable" lives and beliefs, which, in general, do not include a real fear of hell or the certainty of the existence of demons.

In fact, the demons themselves offer such temptations that are consistent with the spiritual consciousness or expectations of the tempted. For those who are afraid of hell, demons can appear in a terrible form, so that the person will die in a state of despair. But for those who do not believe in hell (or Protestants who believe they are securely saved and therefore do not fear hell), demons would naturally offer some other temptations that would not so clearly reveal their evil intentions. In a similar way, demons can appear to a Christian ascetic who has already suffered enough in such a way as to seduce him, and not intimidate him.

A good example of this kind is the temptation by demons at the hour of the death of the martyr Maura (3rd century). After she had been crucified on the cross for nine days with her husband, the martyr Timothy, the devil tempted her. The lives of these saints tell how the martyr Maura herself told about her temptations to her husband and accomplice in suffering: “Be of good cheer, my brother, and drive sleep away from you; watch and understand what I saw: it seemed to me that in front of me, who was as if in rapture, there was a man who had in his hand a bowl filled with milk and honey. The man said to me: “Having taken this, drink it.” But I told him: "Who are you?" He answered: "I am the Angel of God." Then I told him: "Let us pray to the Lord." Then he told me: “I have come to you in order to ease your suffering. I saw that you were very hungry and thirsty, because until now you have not eaten any food. Again I said to him: “Who prompted you to show me this favor? And what do you care about my patience and fasting? Don't you know that God is able to create even what is impossible for people? When I prayed, I saw that the man was turning his face to the west. From this I understood that it was a satanic deception; Satan wanted to tempt us on the cross. Then soon the vision disappeared. Then another man came up, and it seemed to me that he led me to a river flowing with milk and honey, and said to me: “Drink.” But I answered: “I have already told you that I will not drink water or any other earthly drink until I drink the cup of death for Christ my Lord, which He Himself will dissolve for me with salvation and immortality of eternal life.” As I was saying this, that man drank from the river, and suddenly both he and the river with him disappeared” (“The Life of the Holy Martyrs Timothy and Maura”, May 3). It is clear how careful a Christian must be when receiving "revelations" at the time of death.

So, the hour of death is truly the time of demonic temptations, and those spiritual experiences that people receive at this time (even if it seems that this happens "after death", which will be discussed below), should be evaluated by the same Christian standards as any other spiritual experience. Similarly, the spirits that may meet at this time must be subjected to a comprehensive test, which the apostle John expresses as follows: test the spirits, whether they are from God, because many false prophets have appeared in the world (1 John 4, 1).

Some of the critics of modern "post-mortem" experiences have already pointed out the similarity of the "luminous being" with the "spirit guides" and "spirit friends" of mediumistic spiritualism. Therefore, let us briefly consider the spiritualistic teaching in that part of it, which speaks of "luminous beings" and their messages. One classic work on spiritualism (J. Arthur Hill. Spiritualism. Its History, Phenomena, and Teachings. George H. Doran Co., New York, 1919) points out that spiritualistic “teaching is always, or almost always, consistent with high moral standards; with regard to faith, it is always theistic, always respectful to it, but is not too interested in such intellectual subtleties that interested the Fathers of church councils” (p. 235). The book then notes that the "key" and "central doctrine" of spiritualism is love (p. 283), that spiritualists receive "glorious knowledge" from spirits, which obliges them to conduct missionary work to spread "the knowledge that life after there really is death” (pp. 185-186) and that “perfect” spirits lose the “limitations” of personality and become more “influences” than personalities, becoming more and more filled with “light” (pp. 300-301). Indeed, in their hymns, the spiritists literally invoke "luminous beings":

“Blessed servants of the world,

Secret from mortal eyes...

Messengers of light went in the middle of the night,

To open the eyes of our hearts…”

(pp. 186-187)

All this is enough to doubt the “luminous being” that now appears to people who know nothing about the nature and deceit of demonic tricks. Our suspicion is only increased when we hear from Dr. Moody that some describe this creature as a "funny person" with a "sense of humour" who "amuses" and "amuses" the dying (Life After Life, p. 49, 51). Such a creature, with its "love and understanding," is in fact remarkably similar to the trivial and often good-natured spirits in the seances, who are, without any doubt, demons (if the seances themselves are not a scam).

This fact has led some to dismiss as demonic fraud all reports of "post-mortem" experiences, and one book written by evangelical Protestants asserts that "there are new and unexplored dangers in all this deception about life and death. Even a vague belief in reports of clinical trials, we believe, can have serious consequences for those who believe in the Bible. Not a single sincere Christian has fully believed that the luminous being is none other than Jesus Christ and, unfortunately, these people can be very easily fooled" (John Weldon and Zola Levit "Is there life after death?", Harvest House Publishers, Irvine, Calif., 1977, p. 76). In addition to pointing out the undoubted fact that a number of post-mortem researchers are also interested in the occult and even have contact with mediums, the authors of the book, in support of this assertion, draw a number of remarkable parallels between modern post-mortem experiences and those of mediums and occultists of the recent past (p. 64-70).

There is, of course, much truth in these observations. Unfortunately, without a complete Christian doctrine of the afterlife, even the most well-intentioned "believers in the Bible" err, rejecting, along with experience that may turn out to be a demonic deception, the true posthumous experience of the soul. And, as we will see, these people themselves are able to believe the deceptive "post-mortem" experience.

Dr. Osis and Haraldson, who both had "direct experience with mediums," note a certain similarity between the apparitions of the dying and the experience of spiritism. However, they note a significant, “conspicuous discrepancy” between them: “Instead of continuing the worldly life (as described by mediums), survivors of death prefer to start a completely new way of life and activity” (“At the Hour of Death,” p. 200). In fact, the realm of "post-mortem" experience does not appear to be entirely different from the realm of ordinary mediumship and spiritualism, but it is still a realm where demonic deceptions and suggestions are not only possible, but positively to be expected, especially in those last days in which we live. when we are witnesses of more and more subtle spiritual temptations, even great signs and wonders, in order to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Matt. 24, 24).

Therefore, we should at least be very careful with the "light beings" that seem to appear at the moment of death. They are very much like demons, presenting themselves as "Angels of Light" in order to seduce not only the dying person himself, but also those to whom he will later tell his story if he is brought back to life (of which, of course, the demons are well aware of the possibility).

Ultimately, however, our judgment of this and other "post-mortem" phenomena must be based on the teaching that flows from them, whether it be given by some spiritual being seen at the time of death, or simply implied, or inferred from these phenomena.

Some of the "dead" and brought back to life - usually those who were or became very religious - identified the "luminous being" they encountered not with an Angel, but with the invisible presence of Christ himself. For these people, such an experience is often associated with another phenomenon, which for Orthodox Christians is perhaps the most seemingly mysterious phenomenon encountered in modern post-mortem experiences - the vision of "heaven".

After the death of a loved one, our consciousness does not want to put up with the fact that he is no longer around. I would like to believe that somewhere far away in heaven he remembers us and can send a message.

The connection between the soul and the living person

Followers of religious and esoteric teachings consider it as a small particle of the Divine consciousness. On Earth, the soul manifests itself through the best qualities of a person: kindness, honesty, nobility, generosity, the ability to forgive. Creative abilities are considered a gift from God, which means that they are also realized through the soul.

It is immortal, but the human body has a finite lifespan. Therefore, the soul leaves the body and goes to another level of the universe.

Major theories about afterlife

Myths and religious beliefs of peoples offer their own vision of what happens to a person after death. For example, the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" describes step by step all the stages through which the soul passes from the moment of death and ending with the next incarnation on Earth.

Heaven and Hell, Heavenly Judgment

In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the heavenly court at which one's earthly deeds are judged. Depending on the number of mistakes and good deeds, God, angels or apostles divide dead people into sinners and righteous people in order to send them either to Paradise for eternal bliss or to hell for eternal torment.

However, the ancient Greeks had something similar, where all the dead were sent to the underworld kingdom of Hades under the custody of Cerberus. Souls were also distributed according to the level of righteousness. Pious people were placed in Elysium, and vicious people in Tartarus.

Judgment on souls is present in various variations in ancient myths. In particular, the Egyptians had the deity Anubis, who weighed the heart of the deceased with an ostrich feather to measure the severity of his sins. Pure souls were sent to the heavenly fields of the solar god Ra, where the rest of the road was ordered.

Souls of the righteous go to heaven

Soul evolution, Karma, Reincarnation

The religions of ancient India look at the fate of the soul differently. According to traditions, she comes to Earth more than once and each time gains invaluable experience necessary for spiritual evolution.

Nearby there are souls of close people who have passed away earlier. They look like living substances that emit light, but the traveler knows exactly who he met. These essences help to move on to the next stage, where the Angel is waiting - a guide to the higher spheres.

The path that the soul walks is illumined by the Light

People find it difficult to describe the image of the Divine being on the path of the soul in words. This is the embodiment of Love and a sincere desire to help. According to one version, this is the Guardian Angel. On the other - the progenitor of all human souls. The guide communicates with the newcomer by telepathy, without words, in the ancient language of images. It shows the events and misdeeds of a past life, but without the slightest hint of judgment.

The road passes through a space filled with Light. Survivors of clinical death speak of a sense of an invisible barrier that probably serves as a boundary between the world of the living and the realm of the dead. Beyond the veil, none of the returnees comprehended. What lies beyond the line is not given to the living to know.

Can the soul of the deceased visit?

Religion condemns the practice of spiritualism. This is considered a sin, because under the mask of a deceased relative, a demon-tempter may appear. Serious esotericists also do not approve of such sessions, since at this moment a portal opens through which dark entities can penetrate our world.

Church condemns seances to communicate with the dead

However, such visits can occur at the initiative of those who have left the Earth. If in earthly life there was a strong connection between people, then death will not break it. For at least 40 days, the soul of the deceased can visit relatives and friends and watch them from the outside. People with high sensitivity feel this presence.

Russian biologist Vasily Lepeshkin

In the 1930s, a Russian biochemist discovered bursts of energy emanating from a dying body. The bursts were captured by ultra-sensitive film. On the basis of observations, the scientist came to the conclusion that a special substance is separated from the dying body, which in religions is called the soul.

Professor Konstantin Korotkov

The doctor of technical sciences has developed a method of gas discharge visualization (GDV), which allows fixing fine-material radiations of the human body and obtaining an image of the aura in real time.

Using the GDV method, the professor recorded the energy processes at the time of death. In fact, Korotkov's experiments gave a picture of how a subtle component comes out of a dying person. The scientist believes that then the consciousness, together with the subtle body, is sent to another dimension.

Physicists Michael Scott from Edinburgh and Fred Alan Wolff from California

Adherents of the theory of multiple parallel universes. Some of their variants coincide with reality, others radically differ from it.

Any living being (more precisely, its spiritual center) never dies. It is simultaneously embodied in different versions of reality, and each separate part is unaware of twins from parallel worlds.

Professor Robert Lantz

He drew an analogy between the continuous existence of man and the life cycles of plants that die in winter, but begin to grow again in spring. Thus, Lanz's views are close to the eastern doctrine of personality reincarnations.

The professor admits the existence of parallel worlds in which the same soul lives simultaneously.

Anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff

Due to the specifics of his work, he observed people who were on the verge of life and death. Now he is sure that the soul has a quantum nature. Stewart believes that it is formed not by neurons, but by the unique substance of the Universe. After the death of the physical body, the spiritual information about the personality is transmitted into space and lives there as a free consciousness.

Conclusion

As you can see, neither religion nor modern science deny. Scientists, by the way, even called its exact weight - 21 grams. After leaving this world, the soul continues to live in another dimension.

However, we, while remaining on Earth, cannot voluntarily make contact with departed relatives. We can only keep a good memory of them and believe that they also remember us.

A little about the author:

Evgeny Tukubaev The right words and your faith are the keys to success in a perfect ritual. I will provide you with the information, but its implementation directly depends on you. But do not worry, a little practice and you will succeed!

You already know that each person has his own guardian angel. Sometimes it is given to a person, as they say, from God, and sometimes the soul of a deceased relative becomes such an angel. She is invisible, like other angels, but she will help no worse, and maybe even better.

The souls of deceased relatives, who became angels after their death, can accompany you from birth. This usually happens in those cases when they start talking about your birth for a long time. Grandmothers or great-grandmothers think with trepidation about the upcoming meeting with the long-awaited grandson, but suddenly die. In this case, the meeting of the soul of the deceased great-grandmother can come true when the long-awaited grandson is born.

A relative angel can be the spirit of a deceased aunt who had no children during her lifetime, or an uncle, after whom you were named after him. In this case, you fall under the special protection not only of the soul of your relative, but also of your saint.

The soul of any relative can become your angel. The reasons for this are various. Perhaps during his life a person did not complete a lot, and after death his soul tries to do something significant, weighty, protecting you from all misfortunes.

Sometimes the soul of the person who loved you immensely becomes an angel-relative. This happens in those cases when the deceased communicated with you during his lifetime. It is possible that the soul of this person will accompany you everywhere and protect you from all sorts of troubles.

One can only dream of such an angel. After all, this is not just a kind and fair patron given to you by God, it is also an angel who loves you immensely.

Surely in your life it happened more than once that the person you just met seems to you painfully familiar and even family. From the first minute of meeting you, the feeling that you have already met somewhere does not leave you. If this happened, you can be sure that in front of you is the same person into whom the soul of your deceased relative moved. That is why you are inexorably drawn to each other. Do not refuse friendship with this person, do not avoid him. You may be lucky enough to find such a friend who will be ready to go through fire and water for you.

Your new acquaintance, without suspecting it, will seek to help you, provide friendly support, or simply warm you with warmth and attention.

Meeting a person whom you think you already knew before does not happen often. And if you know such an example from your life, keep in mind that in this case we can talk about those relatives who died a very long time ago, more than 9 generations ago.

We hope that people who are driven into a state of panic by the thought of the dead will moderate their fear a little, because there is nothing special about it. On the contrary, those who have two guardian angels can be considered real lucky ones. Such a person is unlikely to get into an unpleasant situation, because one angel protects him with the help of Divine commandments, and the other warms him with warmth.

It is known that the souls of deceased relatives who have become angels sometimes try to protect a person with more enthusiasm than God's angels. The fact is that the angel given to you by God is very fair and sometimes too strict. This manifests itself in such situations when you are punished for something after a not very good deed. As a rule, this happens in childhood. When the boy breaks the glass and tries to evade the answer, the guardian angel given by God will not save him from punishment and will certainly lead to such a situation that the deceit will be revealed, and the boy will be punished for both broken glass and untruth. A relative angel in this situation would try to hide his only pet from the answer.

Children who have two guardian angels from birth live without many childhood insults and troubles. Judge for yourself. The boy was playing catch-up and fell. Mom is not around. But there is a kindest angel, into which the deceased great-grandmother turned. She will blow out the pain with a light breeze and remove the offense with an invisible movement. And the guardian angel, given by God, will send a reasonable thought that you can’t run without looking at your feet.

If you were particularly lucky as a child, when all the pranks, as they say, got away with it, then you are probably under the reliable protection of two guardian angels. You can expect that in the future they will protect you from all troubles and misfortunes.

Of course, this does not mean at all that you can lie down on the sofa and spit at the ceiling with the thought that now neither hunger, nor flood, nor fire is terrible, everything will work out by itself. Only small children can count on such help. Well, as an adult, you need to worry about yourself. No matter how much your angels love you, they cannot afford to raise a sloth and a completely useless playboy. After all, their task is to help you become a good person. Therefore, do not expect manna from heaven from your angels and try not to be ashamed of you.

As we have said, an angel relative can save you from many troubles and troubles. And he will do it in a special way, in a kindred way. "How?" - you think. Very simple. Well, who else, no matter how your grandfather or grandmother can know all the features of your character, demeanor? Knowing about your ardor or indecision, they can predict in advance what act you are capable of, and at the most crucial moments they will try to come to the rescue. More precisely, your angel relatives will not allow you to need help. For example, you are very nervous at work and are ready to be rude to your boss. The angel that your deceased great-aunt has become, knowing about your stormy temperament, will imperceptibly whisper to you that the boss has eyes like a neighbor's cat. After this, you are unlikely to want to bring the matter to a quarrel. All irritation and vehemence will blow away like the wind. And you will be in a good mood again. But things could have been much worse. If not for your angel relative, you would have quarreled with the boss - and it remains to be seen what the continuation of this whole story would have been like.

Good angels are capable of a variety of tricks to help you out or save you from an awkward situation. Moreover, people who have an angel-relative most often do not notice their care. But it's natural. Try to remember how many times, when leaving the house, you forgot to take the keys, but at the very last moment you accidentally clung to your purse or the edge of your clothes on the shelf in the hallway, after which you immediately remembered the keys. Who knows, maybe it was your angel who hooked your purse so that you would pay attention to the shelf with the keys. But you, as a rule, do not associate your accidental insight with good angels, but take the keys and leave.

The care of angels can be felt at every step. How many times have you been delayed and missed the bus for various reasons? Do not rush to get annoyed about this. Perhaps this delay saved you from some trouble. For example, the driver of a bus that has gone under your nose is a novice, and if you ride in it, you would definitely get out of it with a bump on your forehead.

Do not rush to say that you are a loser and the most unlucky person in the world. Think about the fact that an angel-relative protected you from some kind of trouble. So, you are one of the happiest people on earth.

It's no secret that sometimes the most insignificant, at first glance, event can turn your whole life upside down. And accidents themselves sometimes control us and our existence. For example, you completely unexpectedly set off on a route where you have never gone before and meet up with your old school friend. It would seem a trifle. But in life, every accident can be considered a pattern. And you will definitely realize this when a chance meeting entails interesting business proposals, a more promising job, new friends. After all, only an angel relative knows what kind of work you dream of, and only he could know about your school friend and childhood friend.

It is unlikely that any of us after such an incident would begin to wonder why on that day he decided to go on a completely different path, which, as it turned out, became fateful. For such sudden decisions, we should be indebted to our angels.

Since the word “angel” came to us from the Greek language and it means nothing more than “messenger”, it means that you should be obliged to your relative angel also for the fact that he constantly whispers very smart and important thoughts for you. So that inner voice that you sometimes hear or even communicate with it is nothing but the thoughts of your angel. For example, if you are about to act not very honestly towards someone, an inner voice will whisper to you: “How so? You can't do this!" It is your conscience that speaks to you through the mouth of your angel.

Try to listen to yourself more often and, we assure you, you will learn to hear the voice of your angel. In this case, you can hope that you will always be in harmony with your conscience.

Very often, relative angels try to influence the conscience with sudden memories of their parents. And you begin to imagine events through the eyes of a mother or a father. As a rule, in this case, everything that happened is perceived completely differently. There is an awareness of the pettiness of one's own actions or the wrongness of actions. This is exactly what a relative angel needs to protect you from unkind deeds.

An angel sometimes has a very difficult task. He tries in every possible way to distract you from evil thoughts. That is why you suddenly suddenly have a desire to go on vacation, to see your loved ones, in order to escape from pressing problems.

When you find yourself in a difficult life situation, it is not easy for your angel. After all, now he needs not only to protect you from the wrong step, but also to support you spiritually.

Surely you have noticed more than once that on days of especially difficult life situations you suddenly begin to be drawn to places where you feel especially at ease? For example, to a quiet river backwater, to the seashore or to the forest. Some people at such moments want to go to church. Do not deny yourself such desires. Trust your angel, who gives the right advice on how to get rid of the thoughts that torment you, and go to where peace awaits you.

Your angel accompanies you everywhere, not only to protect you from trouble. Guardian angels will also warn of imminent danger. Of course, it is difficult for angels who do not have a material structure to do this. After all, if you are trying to jump off a train rushing at full speed, they will not be able to substitute their palms. But, nevertheless, in most cases, you must owe your miraculous salvation to the angels.

Basically, angels warn of the danger threatening a person by sending him thoughts-predictions. There is a known case of a rural woman who always carried lunch to her shepherd husband across a hanging bridge.

The morning that day began with the woman in an unusual way. A portrait of a deceased aunt fell from the wall. At first, this did not cause any ill foreboding, but further events began to unfold in such a way that she began to seriously worry. Before leaving the house, she could not open the door for a long time. She was disturbed by a strong draft, it is not clear where it came from. Then for a long time she could not lock the door with the key, which kept falling out of her hands. The woman stumbled on the stairs, which almost never happened, and she had to repack the cooked lunch in her bag.

Never before had she had to carry food to her husband with such misadventures. But that's not all. On the way to the river, she met a neighbor who told her about the death of her relative. The news of the death completely embarrassed the woman, who now barely walked to the hinged bridge. In addition, when she left the village, it suddenly seemed to her that she saw a woman in front of the bridge, surprisingly similar to her dead aunt. A whole flock of anxiously screaming birds flew towards her, which finally led her into a state of alarm. She no longer wanted to go anywhere, but the thought of a hungry husband drove her forward. What was her surprise when she did not see the usual picture: a pair of miserable ropes remained from the hanging bridge.

As it turned out a little later, the bridge, which had been out of order for a long time, collapsed shortly before its appearance. If it were not for the misadventures due to which she was delayed on the way, hitting the bridge, she would have been in mortal danger.

After the incident, the woman remembered that the same story happened to her aunt, whose ghost she saw at the bridge. She very often walked along the suspension bridge and, once stumbling due to a frayed rope, she fell into the abyss.

Now the woman, who miraculously did not repeat the fate of her aunt, sacredly honors the memory of her and considers her her savior.

Surely, in your life, there have been situations more than once when you were terribly unwilling to go or go somewhere. At the same time, you encountered various obstacles. For example, they could not open the door or they ruined the item they were going to put on with an iron. Such obstacles are a reason to once again think about whether it is worth leaving somewhere or leaving, is it not better to wait out.

Of course, it is difficult to convince an adult of anything. And if you have a plane ticket in your pocket, then some kind of lock that stubbornly refuses to open will, of course, not stop you. But still, if you receive such signals, it is better to sit down and listen to yourself. The angel will tell you what you really need. Perhaps you will change your mind. But in any case, no matter what you do, try not to neglect the warnings of the guardian angel.

For example, before leaving, you have an irresistible desire to look at a family album, or you suddenly become interested in one of your already deceased relatives, or a photograph of your grandfather falls from the wall. Thus, the souls of the dead are trying to remind themselves and warn of imminent danger.

Perhaps you are going to the very city where one of your relatives tragically died. Maybe this should not be done at all, because your angel is trying in every possible way to remind you of that tragic death.

It is possible that he wants to warn you of the dangers along the way. This may be the case if, during the life of your deceased relative, various troubles constantly overtook along the way.

Relative angels can warn of trouble through dreams. It is no secret that if a deceased relative appears in a dream, this means that they are beginning to forget about him, and he is trying to remind himself. But sometimes dreams are too realistic. For example, in a dream you can see your grandfather fishing. It seems nothing special, but some kind of anxiety has instilled in you. This feeling visited you not by chance and means that you are in some kind of danger. Most likely, you need to be careful near water bodies, and even more so when fishing, if you are going there.

If you see a deceased relative in a dream, this is far from always a warning about danger. It is important what feeling the dream caused you and whether gloomy thoughts visited you. Sometimes relative angels simply guard your sleep when you need rest or are seriously ill. They drive away everything evil and negative.

Angels-relatives seek to protect from diseases. Of course, this is not about colds or flu, although if the angel considers that these diseases can greatly affect your health, they will do their best to protect you from them as well.

Most often, relative angels are worried that you are not affected by any hereditary disease. If most men in the family are prone to heart disease, your angel will do everything so that you can avoid a heart attack or atherosclerosis.

Such concern can manifest itself in anything. For example, you may feel an aversion to alcohol or smoking. And a fat person, prone to excesses in food, will suddenly begin to limit himself in food. Of course, decisions such as quitting smoking or restricting food do not come suddenly. Your angel will send out impulses that will slowly but steadily inspire you with thoughts of a healthy lifestyle.

Perhaps something similar has already happened in your life. For example, you are eating pasta, and suddenly the thought came to your mind that they look like worms. Most likely, your appetite will immediately decrease. If this happens several times, then your tendency to eat heavily will decrease significantly. Few people consider that the disappeared appetite is the “handiwork” of an angel relative. Meanwhile, it is he who, trying to preserve your health, arranges such fasting days from time to time.

If you have an angel relative, you will surely remember that there were times in life when you were told that you do not like fish like grandfather; prefer the kind of pies your maternal aunt liked. Such predilections are by no means accidental. Perhaps this is your angel advising you to give preference to those dishes that will not bring harm.

Angel relatives are so spiritually close to you that they can even help you find the love of your life. Your significant other may just be a dream to you. Or maybe the children's subconscious remembered the gentle touches of grandmother's hands and those cute nicknames that she called you? All this is gone, my grandmother died a long time ago. But one day, among the mass of people, you suddenly single out a person who seems surprisingly familiar and familiar to you. This angel relative reminded you of what you felt in childhood, and suggested that you would become happy with this person.

The presence of an angel-relative in life can also be a sign that such a phenomenon as a birth curse has taken place in the family. By the way, in this case, you can calculate which soul of which relative is guarding you now. To do this, you need to know which of your relatives lived a life full of all sorts of anxieties, lawsuits and illnesses. This may not be one person, but the whole family, since the curse, as a rule, applies to all its members. The soul of the person from whom the curse began, or one of his family members, can protect you.

The family curse does not give the souls of the dead peace, and they are forced to seek solace by helping their descendants. Don't forget that an unresolved curse is passed down from generation to generation. So it is possible that the negative energy affects you, although quite a lot of time has passed. The soul of a deceased relative, who experienced the hardships of a curse during his lifetime, is now trying to help you and save you from trouble.

Not only kind and good people can become angels-relatives. It is possible that you are under the protection of the soul of a person who was far from being a gift during his lifetime. For example, your grandmother could meet your birth with indignation. This is possible if your parents connected their destinies against the wishes of all relatives. People who renounce newborns are considered sinners, they need to repent. And after death, their souls strive in every possible way to protect and protect the one who was greatly offended during life. This is their redemption.

If you find out that not all relatives were happy about your birth, perhaps now you are under the auspices of that grandfather, aunt or uncle, which of them was most indignant about your birth.

Having become angels, such relatives, who during their lifetime valued their inheritance more than the birth of babies, begin to protect them. Such babies can be considered real lucky ones. Angels-relatives protect their sleep. As a result of such patronage, babies fall asleep with a smile on their faces, they get sick much less. Older children study better, and adults are deprived of many domestic troubles.

Oddly enough, sometimes very evil people become angels. We are talking about those who during their lifetime gossiped, scandalized, tried to plague their brothers or sisters with constant squabbles and intrigues. Before death, they, as a rule, suffer greatly and do not always have the opportunity to ask for forgiveness from those who were tormented during their lifetime.

If a person has not begged for forgiveness from the one whom he offended, he is given another chance. Having become an angel after death, he begins to help the offended by him or his children. Of course, not every person is given such a chance, but only those who harmed one of their relatives.

There is nothing worse when brothers, trying to share the inheritance, start to fight, and then, without reconciling, they are at enmity for the rest of their lives.

They have a chance to correct the terrible mistakes made during their lifetime. After death, their souls become angels and begin to protect and protect from all troubles and hardships the children or grandchildren of the person whom they offended during life. Relative angels do not just protect. They seek to protect the person they patronize from the sin they committed during their lifetime. Relative angels try to ensure that the person they protect does not repeat their mistakes. That is why the people who are guarded by relative angels are very kind, they do not know the feeling of self-interest, especially in relation to relatives.

A relative angel, unlike an ordinary guardian angel, can come to you at any time in your life, not necessarily from the day you were born. You can live for quite a long time, with the support of only a guardian angel, and at a critical moment you will suddenly receive help from a relative angel.

Very often, relative angels descend from heaven when a child is hardly born. They are trying to alleviate the suffering of the woman in labor and to secure the appearance of the child. If the baby was born very weak, he will be under the vigilant control of his angel, singing lullabies to him in a quiet whisper and driving away bad dreams and bodily weakness.

As we have said, relative angels can descend when you are in most need of support. For example, you have lost a loved one and do not know how to live on. At such moments, an angel relative will help you like no other. It will drive away night fears, remove melancholy and painful feeling of loneliness. And most importantly, your angel will dispel anxieties and instill in you self-confidence and a desire to live on.

The soul of a deceased relative, who has become an angel, can descend to you if you are a victim of a terrible vice: alcoholism or drug addiction. In this case, he will try to guide you on the right path. And when he feels that you have grown stronger morally and spiritually, he can leave you again.

The souls of deceased relatives are very fond of patronizing those who are named after them. You can count on their support, especially if you were born on the same day or month that your aunt or grandfather was born. Their souls will tirelessly follow you throughout your life.

If you are strikingly similar to one of your deceased relatives, even the most distant, most likely, the soul of this person guards and protects you in every possible way. In such cases, quite often the similarity is not limited to appearance. The fates of these people are also similar. This fact cannot be considered negative. After all, people who repeat the fate of their ancestor are under his heavenly protection. This means that your fate will turn out much more successfully, because you are under protection. And the fact that the deceased relative did not succeed, you will definitely succeed.

There is a belief that one should not name a child after a tragically deceased relative, so that he does not repeat his sad fate. To some extent, the people who follow this trend are right. A child named after a deceased relative will most likely have to repeat everything that his deceased ancestor tried to do during his lifetime. But parents should not be afraid of a tragic outcome. After all, if he is under the protection of an angel relative, his life will be much more successful than that of the one in whose honor he is named.

A child named after a deceased ancestor may, with age, acquire those character traits that distinguished his relative. This is nothing more than a manifestation of the influence of an angel-relative on the soul of a growing person. With age, a child named after a deceased relative may choose the same profession that the deceased had. If the path of the deceased to his goal was difficult, then the child named after him will be deprived of many troubles. Most likely, he will easily enter the chosen university, easily master the specialty.

In a word, he will have to get from life everything that a tragically deceased relative has been striving for all his life. Therefore, you can safely name your child after the relative whose fate you admire. The baby will live not only under your care, but also under the auspices of the deceased. And he will tell his namesake how to act in order to achieve what the deceased himself did not manage to do during his lifetime.

Sometimes the souls of the dead become angels to help a person acquire those moral and ethical qualities that the deceased himself did not possess during his lifetime. In this case, the Lord gives the soul of the deceased a chance to improve, to become better, purer. Simultaneously with its own purification, the soul of the deceased, who after death became an angel, must teach his relative, who is still living, many virtues.

The souls of deceased relatives, sent by God to correct themselves, as well as to teach a person kindness, can accompany you at times. They will come to you only at critical moments in life: during quarrels with loved ones, family dramas, etc. At such moments, angels descend from heaven and try to calm the person.

It is to our angels that we owe the fact that we rethink current events. These are, again, thoughts that we attribute to the voice of our own conscience or inner self. And often, as a result of reflection, everything falls into place. This means that the angels-relatives were sent to us not only to protect us from all sorts of troubles, but also from evil thoughts and vicious deeds.

The souls of the dead, having become angels, strive not only to develop some moral qualities in a person, sometimes they try to increase his material wealth. But this happens infrequently. For example, in cases where one of the brothers or sisters was unfairly disinherited. If the relatives of a disadvantaged person during their lifetime did not help him in any way, after their death they will protect him, his children or grandchildren. Moreover, the souls of deceased relatives, who have become angels, will not only protect from trouble, they will try to make sure that a person has as much material wealth as possible in his life.

Angels-relatives sometimes spoil a person too much, trying to make amends for the guilt caused during his lifetime to his ancestors. People whom an angel relative leads through life on an easy and money path often become lazy - they get so used to getting everything by themselves that they are no longer able to seriously think about the future. If an angel-relative suddenly leaves such a ward, he will have a very difficult time.

And it’s a completely different matter when material well-being develops gradually. For example, if a person doubts something, an angel-relative will definitely tell him the best option. This can happen in a dream that a person considers prophetic, or on a subconscious level. People who are under the protection of such an angel usually acquire considerable material wealth.

Angels-relatives, helping to increase material wealth, not necessarily the souls of those who, during their lifetime, disinherited their loved ones. Such an angel can be the soul of a deceased old woman, who was distinguished by frugality and a tendency to hoarding. If such an angel protects you, you can be sure that your life will flow comfortably.

It often happens that the personal qualities of a person whose soul after death became an angel are most noticeable at that time if the ward is in trouble, and the angel tries to switch him to something else. For example, if during life a person loved animals very much, becoming an angel, he will definitely lead a person to the idea that there should be a cat, dog or fish in the house.

If you have never been distinguished by love for animals before and suddenly began to treat them much softer or you were drawn to get a kitten, this is a clear sign that you are under the auspices of an angel-relative who, during his lifetime, was distinguished by love for the animal world. The same explains the suddenly arisen from somewhere uncontrollable craving for nature. Perhaps you wanted to buy a summer cottage and mess around there all day. You can discover in yourself a variety of tendencies that you did not differ before. This means that an angel-relative gives you some part of his addictions.

Sometimes angels leave a person. This happens when they feel that their help is no longer needed. For example, the child grew up and became an independent person. The angel can leave. But this does not mean at all that in a difficult moment, when there is a need for help, the angel will not be there.

Usually, relative angels do not leave a person. As a rule, they accompany him from birth to death, unless he himself forces him to leave. This happens extremely rarely and only when you neglect family ties or do not honor them. For example, you constantly dream about your dead grandmother, and when you get up in the morning, you say: “Here is an old hag, I dreamed again.” In this case, you can hardly count on the help of a good spirit. But she, most likely, wanted to warn you about something.

An angel is unlikely to stay with someone who never looks into a family album and believes that remembering dead ancestors is useless.

Perhaps, after reading these lines, you will wonder if you have an angel relative. Of course, no one can tell you for sure. Only you yourself can know about this from personal feelings. And if some mysterious events happened in life, when the faces of the past came to the rescue, then you should not have a shadow of a doubt that you are under the protection of the soul of a deceased ancestor who has become your angel.

And it will be quite natural to want to know who exactly patronizes you. If you want to know who protects and guards you, add up all the numbers that make up your date of birth. Suppose you were born in 1964 on May 5th. Let's start some simple math. We add the numbers 1, 9, 6 and 4. It turns out 20. Now we add the number indicating the day of your birth, then the number indicating the month of birth: 20 + 5 + 5. It turns out 30. To get the desired code, there should be only one number, so we add 3 and 0. We get the number 3. This is the number you need.

The number three means that in the third generation before your birth, you need to look for a relative whose soul is now patronizing you.

Your mom and dad are your first generation. Grandfather and grandmother - the second. But the souls of great-grandfather or great-grandmother, most likely, are now protecting you from many troubles. But not necessarily one of the two of them accompanies you now. Think about their sisters or brothers. After all, not only direct relatives can become angels.

Of course, it is not so easy to find that relative who is guarding you now. To do this, it does not hurt to find all the old photos, which can be quite difficult. And if you seriously decide to find a person whose soul helps you, you may even have to go to where your ancestors lived, find some information about them. When you find the one you are looking for, your heart will surely tell you. Or maybe, to find your patron, you only need to see this person in a photograph or hear a story about him.

If you have already experienced the help and patronage of your angel more than once and seriously decided to learn as much as possible about him, determine in which generation he lived, pay attention to the names of all your relatives in this generation. A person with a name like yours or one who was born or died on the day you were born is most likely the one who, without demanding anything in return, unselfishly protects you and accompanies you everywhere.

Most often, relatives by blood become angels, but there are exceptions. If there was a woman in your family who took the surname of your family in connection with marriage, and she, who is not your blood relative, nevertheless could still become your angel after her death. Especially if she had the same name as yours, was childless, or simply had a good disposition.

As a rule, women who did not have children during their lifetime, but dreamed about it very much, become angels after their death. Thus, they get the opportunity to care for and protect someone even after their death. The souls of such women can patronize more than one generation. This means that patronizing you while you needed the help and support of an angel, his spirit was with you. When the angel considers that you can live without his support, he will begin to protect another person who is also your relative.

People try to find their angel relative for many reasons. Someone wants to regain the well-being lost after the angel left him. Others are trying to understand themselves, unable to decide why they live in this world, and therefore strive to return to their origins.

Sometimes a person is so carried away by the search for the meaning of life, or, on the contrary, having a very definite goal in it, he begins to complain about fate and scold his relatives for not being attentive to him enough. We remind you that relative angels descend from heaven solely by their own will or by the will of God, but not because you think that you lack support.

A relative angel cannot be forced to come to oneself. There are cases when people, trying to find out about family treasures, turned to spiritualistic sessions, thus hoping to find out forgotten secrets from souls, and also to achieve their location. But nothing good came of it, as a rule, did not work.

If you decide to call the soul of a deceased ancestor to you, in no case do it. Do not forget that angels are nothing but messengers of God. The souls of the dead are empowered to help people. The person himself, even if he manages to invade the other world and make contact with the souls of the dead, will not be able to endow them with such power.

If you have been under the protection of an angel relative for most of your life, it will most likely be difficult for you to experience separation from him. There will be no major life changes. Just waking up one day, you suddenly feel some kind of emptiness. A strange feeling that you are missing something will haunt you for a while. It will even seem to you that it has become much more difficult to make decisions, doubts will arise about the correctness of actions. All this will happen because the angel has suddenly left you.

Sometimes the breakup is much harder. Then a person experiences a real emotional drama, the causes of which he himself does not know. If in moments of deep depression you want to go home, stand at the grave of someone close to you, or he suddenly starts to dream about you, do not try to drive these thoughts away from yourself. On the contrary, if an inexorable desire comes to go home, be sure to do it. In this case, the connection with the angel who left you will be much stronger, and he will definitely return if he feels that he left you early.

People are often to blame for the fact that angels leave them. They neglect the connection that has arisen between the soul and them. After all, the stronger your connection with the angel, the stronger the attachment to him, the longer he will accompany you. Probably, here many will say: “But what kind of connection can there be if a person sometimes does not know that he has an angel relative?” But the connection still exists. This is evidenced by the feeling of emptiness and uselessness, if the angel suddenly leaves the person.

The connection is also determined by common aspirations, as well as the similarity and commonality of the worldview of the soul of the deceased and the one whom he protects.

If you resist the natural desire to celebrate the anniversary of the death of deceased relatives, if in every way you drive thoughts about those who have long been gone from the world, believing that such memories are unnecessary trash that has nothing to fill your head with, you can hardly count on the long support of your angel. Perhaps he will come down to you in difficult times and try to set you up for good thoughts and deeds. If you resist this, he will not be with you for long. Of course, for some time he will try to set him up for good thoughts, but you can not count on a long-term relationship with the angel that you drive away from yourself.

Of course, in order to keep your angel, you do not need to arrange days of sacrifice. On the contrary, they, like other angels, do not need to be praised. Their help is pure and disinterested.

There is a certain type of people who are very difficult to convince of anything. If you are such a person and also a convinced atheist, you are unlikely to believe that you are under the constant supervision and guardianship of an angel. Such disbelief in some cases can offend him. But this, however, is not a reason for him to leave you.

Not bad if you at least sometimes remember all your loved ones, both living and dead. You don't need to arrange a wake for this. Flip through an old family album, remembering everyone in the photographs, or talk about them over dinner when the whole family gathers.

Do not forget about folk traditions and customs. There are holidays on which each person should remember his dead. On such days, it is customary to go to church, where candles can be lit in memory of them. Do not forget that every time you light a candle flame in a church, the soul of your deceased ancestor rejoices. Arrange sometimes a small joy for your angel. After all, the main thing for him is memory.

It is generally accepted that a relative angel, like a guardian angel given to you by God, is on your right hand. Keep this in mind and never swear while turning your head to the right. Well, if you really want to say a strong word, it is better to do it by turning your head to the left, where, as our ancestors said, demons are and whisper to us about bad deeds.

If you have determined what generation your possible angel lived in, or managed to find his photo, hang it on the wall of your room. What if there was some thing that connected you with him? Let it become a relic - and yours, and your descendants. Take care of her.

No matter what honors you shower your angel with, he will still stay with you for exactly as long as he sees fit. Or rather, he can be with you for such an amount of time that is permissible by astral cyclicity. You may or may not believe in reincarnation, but nevertheless, there is a certain periodicity in the existence of souls in the astral plane. In other words, the soul of the deceased ancestor, who after death became your angel, will be with you until it is needed for other purposes. She may have to return to Earth again. But not to protect you, but to be reborn in a new physical body.

D Good day, dear visitors of the Orthodox website "Family and Faith"!

What happens to the soul when it leaves the body worries every believing (and not quite) person! This topic is hot!

Who meets the soul on the other side of life? Guardian Angel comes immediately, or not? Tribulation - what is it?

Priest Daniel (Sysoev) gives an explanation to all these questions, adding stories from the other world to his explanations!

« A Guardian Angel, of course, meets a person after death. The Christian is greeted by two Angels: the Guardian Angel and the Guide Angel. They lead a person to the afterlife. He is also met by at least two evil spirits: an angel-tempter and an angel-guide down. This usually happens on the third day or on the very first day, if a person really wants to go to heaven. Here the saints usually did not linger, did not wait for anything, they immediately went to heaven and that's it. “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt. 6, 2C. If a person has a lot of property in heaven, what can he expect? Maybe he wants to quickly enter into rights? So, if he has a beloved groom there, what should he on earth? Our prayer is read on midnight Saturday, he also prayed to God that He would deign to let him pass by the outposts of ordeals, and therefore we must also pray to God that He would protect us.

Ordeal is the last attempt at the temptations of man. Ordeals are the last attempt to seduce and destroy a person. They are inevitable for people, because they will have to go through this area. The question is how inevitable? As I said, whoever takes communion immediately rises to heaven, and he passes the ordeal, while the demons scatter in different directions ...

There was one famous deacon in the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, he died in 1960. Father Tikhon Agrikov said that this hierodeacon served the Liturgy and took communion, consumed the Holy Lares and went to rest in his cell. Fell asleep and didn't wake up. And then, right in his cell, Fr. Tikhon prayed to God that his afterlife would be revealed.

He appeared to him on the fortieth day happy, glowing with joy. And then about. Tikhon asks: “How did the ordeal go?” He says: “You know, by the power of Holy Communion I flew past,” and the demons fled in different directions, because he took communion with the Body and Blood of the Lord. Do you understand? This is the best cover.

And at the same time, intense prayer causes attacks of demons. Ascetics who lead a spiritual life are constantly attacked by demons. And those who do not lead - they do not intimidate them. If you don't want demons to frighten you during ordeals, lead a bad life, they will simply deceive you.

As Theophan the Recluse said, a person who is accustomed to gluttony will be deceived by demons. If the soul has left the body, and the person is accustomed to live for the stomach, what will she see? Theophan the Recluse says that she will see a luxurious table, and there - black caviar, red caviar, salmon, cakes, wine and so on. What will the soul do? Where will it break? And then they would catch her - he went himself, you understand? Hence all these stories about the astral worlds, astral blissful abodes - this is a description of the very traps of Satan that he sets on the afterlife. What is being described here is a well-organized reality. The reality of traps made to trap people... People will definitely fall into these traps, everyone except those who confessed.

In the ordeals of Blessed Theodora twenty ordeals are described, in other sources there are a slightly different number of them. The essence of ordeals is this: all sins are checked. How? Evil spirits at this moment remember, pull out all their records that they had, and try, on the basis of the sins that the person did, to ruin the soul, to take it by right. But remember that they can't find a single confessed sin there. They may remember him, but they have no physical evidence, so they need to confess as often as possible.”

Yesterday was celebrated the famous saint - Great Martyr Barbara! If we pray to her daily, she will arrange for us the last confession and Communion. And then we will fly up to Heaven without hindrance, where it is so beautiful and gracious that it is impossible to describe it in words!

This is all true, having survived a clinical death, I was met while still alive by two angels, I still thought, why are there two of them? But they seemed to me the most dear in the world. It seemed to me that I knew them all my life and that I had communication with them all my life ... one was like my good thoughts, which corrected, admonished, helped to do good all my sinful life ... I then realized that everything I tried to do good, it was the angel who guided me ... and all good things are his merits, not mine ...
The angels mentally told me, it's time for you ... get ready ... after giving birth I had terrible endrimeriosis and blood poisoning, and then uterine bleeding opened and the blood came out to the drop ... and so I was taken to the operating table ... I was not at all scared with the angels ... the angels I was inspired to say goodbye with all my heart to everyone, to forgive everyone and repent of all sins ... I didn’t go to church then, I was 20 years old, led a sinful life, offended everyone, quarreled, did not respect my husband and parents, the center of my last years was my ego, terrible pride and selfishness ... there were other terrible sins ...
And at that moment, I realized, now I’m going to go where you can’t take everything to which I was so attached to my heart, no things, no jewelry, no cosmetics ... it all seemed so insignificant and empty, and there was a terrible repentance for the sins committed , such repentance that I offended everyone and wasted my life on nothing, at that moment it was revealed to me-THAT THE WHOLE MEANING OF LIFE IS ONLY IN LOVE FOR NEIGHBORS, FOR ALL PEOPLE ... ONLY LOVE ... in my heart ... I have never experienced this feeling and I fell in love with it so much, I still can’t forget this feeling ... love is one with compassion for every person, for my husband, my child, who was taken away from me for a while to a children’s hospital, because the doctors were afraid to give her husband, because they thought that he could not cope ...
Doctors said to each other about me: "She has preagony."
And so the angels picked up my soul, accompanying me from both sides and led me carefully guarding me on both sides. I was delighted, forgetting about everything in the world ... well, here I am almost at home .. how nice it is here ...
But suddenly a stern voice was heard, addressing the angels: “Why did you bring her here? It's not time for her yet." The angels trembled before God the Father, and a voice said to me: "Go down to earth, you sinner." I said: “I believe in Jesus Christ ... I don’t want to return .. (forgetting my child, without whom, I recently went crazy from separation ... when the child was taken away from me to the children’s department at the other end of the city.

But they didn’t listen to me and I quickly rushed down and entered my body ... it was rough, nasty, dirty, fetid, completely paralyzed .. my arms and legs didn’t obey, I couldn’t speak ... they completely poured blood into me and took me to others. district of the city for an operation that lasted from 11 am to 4 pm ... I cleaned the uterus, which they wanted to remove, but then regretted it ... because I began to shout at the whole ward: “Lord, Jesus Christ, forgive me, I am guilty before you, forgive me, for the sake of Jesus Christ, heal me, I want to improve ... forgive me, Lord. I screamed and repented with all my might, so that I was ashamed of my life in front of people ... and the doctor said another, let's save her uterus, because she is only 20 years old ... and they went on a feat .. cleaned the uterus bit by bit ... and saved her ... thanks to God, soon I had two more children ...
I recovered quickly in a month…although God allowed a blood disease during the transfusion…but God had mercy on this disease…I always remember my death…I repented of all my sins and God forgave everything. I realized that if then the Lord would not instruct me to repent and would not show the state of my sinful soul, then I would go to eternal torment .. to hell ..
And my soul was exactly the same as the body, only without flesh ... soul .. a copy of the body to the very ends of the hair ... I saw that pure souls have white long dresses ... I am a complete zero and an empty place ...
How true are the words: "I do not want the death of a sinner, but repentance." UNTIL IT'S LATE WE VALUE EARTHLY LIFE FOR THE SAKE OF REPENTANCE… DO NOT PULL WITH REPENTANCE. X ... DISTANCE ANY PASSION - THEY ARE THE DEATH OF THE SOUL. .DARKNESS AND COLD, EMPTINESS AND LONESS… THIS LOVE OF THE LORD IS GIVEN ONLY THROUGH THE COMmunion… THROUGH CONNECTION WITH CHRIST AND WITH ALL PEOPLE… THROUGH PRAYER, THE CROSS-BREATHING OF THE CHURCH… EVERYTHING THROUGH THE CHURCH.. I AM SINNY AND M THIS LEVEL OF GOD…REPENTENCE AND PARTICIPATION.. WITHOUT THEM, I'M A CORPSE STINKING IN EVIL. ALL POWER IS IN GOD.
