What if angels aren't merely winged beings from ancient text, but also living forces that shape your daily reality? Join me, Linton Bergsen, on the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast in this thought-provoking exploration as you delve into the multi-dimensional nature of an angelic presence and how recognizing such forces might transform your life’s path. The concept of angels reveals itself in three distinct yet interconnected ways. First, through the personal dimension—those extraordinary individuals who lift you up when you fall, speak truth when you need guidance, and stand beside you through your darkest moments. 

Have you taken inventory lately of these human angels versus the toxic individuals draining your energy? The correlation between your well-being and these relationships is not coincidence. Beyond the physical realm, angels manifest through spiritual intuition—those unexplained moments when something inside warns you not to cross that street seconds before a car speeds bye. These protective forces communicate through subtle nudges and unexplained interventions that not only defy rational explanation but also repeatedly prove their value. 

Meanwhile, religious frameworks across traditions provide structured pathways to connect with angelic guidance through prayer, meditation, and worship, creating channels for wisdom that transcends your limited understanding.           

The question "Are Angels Real?" demands a deeply personal answer that will profoundly shape your life's direction. By opening yourself to these positive influences—whether understood as supportive humans, intuitive guidance, or divine messengers—you access layers of protection and wisdom otherwise unavailable. Are you listening to angels who are trying to communicate with you right now?

Linton Bergsen:

Welcome to the Self-Realized Podcast with Linton Bergsen, where you will shatter your limits. I am not much into the self-help industry as much as I'm into the self-realized individual, which is you, what matters most to you, how you get there and the obstacles that may be in your way. If you would like to be part of this podcast and part of that discussion, I welcome you here with an open heart, open mind and open arms. So, without further ado, let's get on with the podcast. Thank you for joining me on episode number 98 of the Self-Realized, Shatter your Limits podcast and taking your valuable time and energy to explore today's topic, which is Are Angels Real? How Might They Influence Your Life? I would suggest you can break this down into three categories and we will explore them today.

Linton Bergsen:

Number one do you believe that angels are real on a personal level? Do you believe they are real on a spiritual level, or do you believe that they are real on a religious level? On a personal level, the question I would suggest you ask yourself is this what does the word angel mean to you and what does it bring up in you when you use it? Indeed, if you use it. In your personal life, you can look at it from the perspective of how many angels do you have in your life, and the opposite of the angels in my opinion would be how many devils do you have in your life. Sometimes we refer to those people as toxic people. You want to have more angels in your life, good people making great contributions to you and what you are about and who you are and your life, and you don't want toxic people which I would call for want of a better term the opposite of angels devils in your life. So, when you take an inventory of how you personally would use angels and devils in your life, it would be how many good people do you have in your work environment, in your everyday relationships, how many people are supporting you? How many people are really, really watching out for you in the darkest of times? How many people stand by you? How many people give you advice that really is good for you, whether you want to hear it or not, because angels watch out for you. They pick you up, they spread their wings around you to protect you when things aren't going so well, and isn't that, if you just look at that as a metaphor, the type of people that you want in your life.

Linton Bergsen:

Are angels real on a personal level? Well, yes, not only are they real, they are the biggest influence in your life, in your work, your relationships and your home in a positive way that you could possibly have on a personal level, as the episode title suggests, Are Angels Real? How They Might I nfluence Your Life? If you contemplate on that for a moment, on a personal level, there are so many different areas that they influence you. You have good people, angels, in your life. They can influence how you feel about yourself. Your self-talk can change because they are giving you positive affirmation and reinforcement about your life and your goals and what it is you're trying to accomplish. They are not negative naysayers. You don't want or need those people in your life. So, yes, on a personal level, having the right angels in your life can have a tremendous influence and that is very real. So my suggestion is you take inventory of how many angels you have in your life right now and how many devils you have in your life right now. Make a list and review it if you'd like, and you're going to find that when you take that inventory, there is a direct correlation about how you feel about yourself, where your life is going when you are around your angels, and then how you feel about yourself and where your life is going when you are around the more toxic people, who I would call the devils in your life, and you begin to work on increasing the angels on a personal level and removing the devils. So there is a personal connotation there that you can use as looking at angels as productive, meaningful relationships in your life that contribute to you at the highest level. However, you need more than just people to help you be successful in life, which moves me into category number two.

Linton Bergsen:

If you then looked at the term angels on a spiritual level, it is the same thing happening, but in a slightly different way, because angels influencing you, if you're talking about on a spiritual level, are watching over you and protecting you. If you believe that spiritually all of the time. Which is beyond the human aspect of angels in your life, because they can only watch over you and be there for you some of the time, your spiritual angels communicate with you, sometimes in the form of intuition or simply the sense of a presence of something not being quite right in situations and circumstances that you may not even have seen coming in situations circumstances that you may feel that you have under control, but then suddenly they get out of control, are not going the way you expected them to, and you get this completely unexplainable spiritual intervention. Something happens you were going across the street and all of a sudden, you look to your right and there was a car coming and you pull back onto the curb just at the right moment. Now, what caused that to happen? Was it coincidence? Or or we could say, the angels were looking out for you. On a spiritual level, angels are working in your life.

Linton Bergsen:

They are looking out for you, whether you understand it intellectually or whether you understand it intuitively. There's a force, there's a force bigger than you working in your life, and those are the angel forces, the good forces, the forces that are working for and with you to be productive, to help you in unseen ways, to guide you a lot of times through intuition, towards the right things to do, towards understanding what it is may cause conflict and problems in your life, giving you the warning signals of don't do that, do this. You may have had the experience where something inside you told you not to do something, but you did it anyway and then paid the price and thought to yourself if only I had listened to myself. That's a real angel voice or intuition whatever you want to call it communicating with you. Now, if you look at it from a spiritual level and you spiritualize the question are angels real, how they might influence your life? The influence on a spiritual level is that when you get yourself in situations you don't quite understand how to get out of the angels in your life, the inner voice in your life is very real. You know it exists because it talks to you. You can call it angels, you can call it intuition, call it whatever you would like. As long as you listen to it and it's beneficial, you can say the angel voices are having a beneficial influence on my life. If you embrace that as a concept and an idea, then obviously it becomes more valid that you listen to that voice, because it's coming from a very high energy source, from different realms that you don't understand, that are bigger than yourself, but are in fact looking out for you. That is what angels do and if you believe in the concept of God and you believe that angels can talk with and through God to you, then you are spiritualizing the idea of having angels in your life as an intuitive voice.

Linton Bergsen:

When we get involved in the third category of this podcast episode of, Are Angels Real? How They Might Influence Your Life, it's a religious aspect and, first of all, let me start out by saying it doesn't make any difference if you're Christian, if you're Muslim, if you're Jewish. It doesn't make any difference at all what religion you choose to affiliate yourself with, believe in and follow. Ultimately, for me, religion believing in something bigger than yourself, respecting the creation, respecting people, respecting that there is a force that you worship, whatever way you choose to religiously means that you are allowing those forces, through prayer, through whatever way you choose to worship, to be part of your life in a very intimate and intricate way. In prayer, in meditation, in being part of something religiously. It allows you to have access to faith, guidance, understanding, acknowledging that you are able to have a relationship with something more powerful than you, in turn, allows you to be guided by whatever you choose to call it angels, God. You are opening the doorway, the gateway of light, love, faith, all the aspects that are very important to at least beginning to answer the question for yourself are angels real? How they might influence your life. Religiously there are so many interpretations of angels and how they affect your life and how they can be part of your life in different religions in different ways.

Linton Bergsen:

However you choose to worship, the main thing is, as I've mentioned, that you choose to open a door and a gateway that allows a guidance, in whatever shape or form, to communicate with you and help you through your life every day that is making a real tangible difference to your well-being and how you feel, because without something working with and through you and acknowledging that, it is my conviction, through my own life experience that I will say to you life becomes much harder on your own. Life becomes much harder when there isn't something that you align yourself with to bring you a sense of peace, solace and well-being. It's unexplainable and unfathomable. Look around you, but isn't everything that is created beyond our control unexplainable? We're not able to, a lot of times, get our head around a lot of the mysteries of this life and the creation that we all live in. But there is one thing that you can begin to get your head around and begin to make a real difference in your life.

Linton Bergsen:

Answer this question sincerely for yourself are angels real and how they might influence your life? In today's episode, I hope I've given you something to contemplate upon in answering that question, and whatever conclusion you come to know this, it's going to have a profound effect on your life one way or the other. So contemplate carefully and then answer the question. It is a deeply personal question which requires from you a deeply personal answer, because it is an intimate and intricate relationship between yourself and that which created you. Whatever answer you come up with obviously know this it's going to affect profoundly the outcome of your life. Why? Because what and who we choose to be influenced by is going to be a lot of the reasons that we make, the choices that we do in our lives. Contemplate carefully, because in this episode you are being asked to make a choice. You decide if angels are real and how they might influence your life. It is a very important choice in so many ways for the outcomes in your life.
