When my sister was very ill in hospital, a nurse told me he could see her guardian angel, standing by the bed. I talk to my angel daily and ask for help - or a sign that I am doing the right thing. I have had many synchronicities like that. Once, when I was feeling grumpy that I hadn't heard from my angel for days, I said aloud in my car, If you are really there, show me an owl. Now, I live in a city and it was the middle of the afternoon - traffic, noise etc. - how could it happen? Then I glanced up and a new cafe had opened, called the Owl's Nest - with a picture of an owl above the door. They have a sense of humour. Thank you Rupert. Superb, as usual.
Thank Father for all blessings given. Nothing is hidden & all will be revealed in the end. Father even knows all your thoughts, think of yourself as a child then you will be. Read the Gospel of Thomas enough and you will know too.
Don’t you just love it? I had something like that, too. I was pissed off and said..show me a hot air balloon. Ha! Let’s see you do that one. Later that day I was flipping through tv stations and stopped on a random channel. There appeared someone riding in a hot air balloon. Funny. They are very funny.
Yes, scientists are ‘boxed in ‘ - a good description -& aren’t most of us ‘boxed in’ by our distorted perceptions & social /academic conditioning in this strange chaotic illusion of reality
@kdmarrison8845 The box is a boundary that is part and parcel of the human condition. It is a defining and limiting aspect of being individual, part of our biological nature. It is also redefined in the process of examination, much like a memory is reshaped when we recall it into a context of the present, every time. The box need not be enemy.
I dismiss nothing. The Universe is far more than we can know, in this three dimensional matter reality. I will know more, or should I remember more, when I pass to the next plane of existence. Thank you Rupert, for your intelligent discourse. The people in my circle don't want to reach out beyond their bubble, so I don't get to discuss such esoteric subjects.
There are lovely others probably hoping you'll be in their circle. May you find them soon, as these are the subjects that matter most to this life we're in. Paz y luz ✨️
@@lindavenport9788 It's more a feeling than a memory. I feel I have worked on the land in previous existences. I also have a bad feeling, because I "feel" an affinity with the Waffen SS which is rather unsettling, maybe that's why I 'm back here, to learn empaphy ???
Thanks for speaking so eloquently on the subject of Michaelmas and the angels. Rudolph Steiner brings much clarity to the meaning of Michaelmas and explains it as follows as quoted in the RS Archive: Christmas needed the birth of the Christ; Easter, His death and resurrection. For Michaelmas, mankind carries on the Easter thought into his own soul. While Easter represents the death and resurrection of Christ; Michaelmas represents the reverse in mankind: the resurrection of Man’s own soul and then physical death.
I've been to Lorna Byrne's sanctuary in Ireland. She was teaching the group to feel their guardian angels' presence in their life. It was a magical experience
As ever, interesting thoughts on a subject many people never contemplate. I wonder if people ever have dreams of 'mythical creatures' that they have not encountered within their society and up-bringing? That would point to them being 'real' in the objective way of residing within this imaginary consciousness. May health and longevity be bestowed upon Rupert as his insights are deeply needed in a world run by actors and clowns.
I am so happy I found your talks Mr Sheldrake. Having been to your wife's, Jill Purse's chanting workshops for the last 35 years, your talks bring the spiritual even closer to my heart. Thank you so much ❤
I loved this in the video- it made me feel a bit sad for the state of mankind as now so many seem so lonely. If Angels are lonely and people are lonely its just a matter of “frequency matchmaking”. I hope for many lonely or lost people they find that frequency.
I have begun painting a series that each panel is an expression of one of the Angelic orders ~ the first one I made was a Cherubim, and I'm deep into doing the Seraphim now. Yesterday being Michaelmas I saw this video pop up on my RUclips homepage, even though I haven't been subscribed to Rupert's channel (am now) ~ playing it, when you got to the part about the Angelic orders, I could hardly believe what I was hearing though of course I could believe it. I'd been doing sketches of Cardinal wings to get the red wings right, and then painting those on the canvas, the six wings modelled after these precious birds who live in the same nature landscape as me ~ when you got to the part about the Seraphim being the radiance of divine love I burst into tears. Thank you Angels for this synchronicity-I'll gladly employ you and you can come help me whenever, I'll remember to ask ❤🔥
Dear Rupert, My birthday is 9/22/57. It's always been a synchronistic period for me. Now this, on angels reminds me I almost died as well, at 13, from what killed Houdini. I was later able to paint murals of the molecules of penicillin that saved my life on the walls of the very Bio-plant from which they derived. Long story. May I just say that I do indeed know my Guardian Angels oh so well. Some, like you Rupert, are even on RUclips. Peace.
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
A blessed St Michaelmas festival to all ...... let us prepare ourselves . I belong to a group The Universal White Brotherhood ..... the teachings ofOmraam Mikhael Aivanhov and we have a centre in England . We will have a bonfire on Saturday evening where we celebrate Michaelmas , part of the ritual involves writing aspects of ourselves we wish to transform or discard and burning the letters in the fire . We will link ourselves to Archangel Michael and ask for protection and unite with him . Thank you so much for the teachings Rupert and the music and services we can partake in during this season ❤
I have had many experiences when I’ve asked my guardians/angels to help me in prayer for all beings, and they always answer by appearing very close to the earths atmosphere and ‘dance’ for me with bright colored light, become bright and big for an instant and then bow out. I KNOW that my prayers are heard and answered. Thank you dear Father. I am blessed . 😇
Thankyou for bringing this topic into more of the public domain Rupert x x x After many years of traditional meditation practice and during one sit I became enveloped in an offwhite cloak/robe of unbleached white wool, somehat coarse but extremely comfortable. Inside this was/is emptiness of form. I instinctively realised I had joined with the socalled white brotherhood, and that the cloak/robe was/is subtle form enclosing emptiness. The white brotherhood can be considered as, and indeed is, angelelic presence; and stand as a gateway into finer vibrational realms. For ten or more years now the emptiness and the cloak/robe remain undiminished, and though I do forget about it, it's only ever a fingersnap away ! It gives a clear perspective rather like a window on the world; and combined with everyday life, thought and feeling, makes for a lovely and insightful blend. And I've come to consider that it will now probably remain with me...
Saint Michael Archangel and Legions of Light! I need you come quickly to banish all fright! Blaze Thy Blue Lighting! Release Cosmic Power, seize every appearance oh human desire! Bolts of Blue Lighting! Descend from Above! Shatter all darkness opposed to God’s Love! Sword of Blue Flame and Sheets of White Fire! Raise record of memory higher and higher! Lord Michael Archangel, Great Sword of Blue Flame! Protect us, Defend us In God’s IAm Name! Bolts of Blue Lighting! Descend from Above! Shatter all darkness opposed to God’s Love! Sword of Blue Flame and Sheets of White Fire! Raise record of memory higher and higher!
And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who watches over the sons of your people. There shall be a time of great trouble. Such as never was, since there was a nation, even yet up until that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, all who are found written in the book. Many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awaken to joy and everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. The wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and forever,. Oh Daniel ,go thy way, seal up the book, shut up the words until the time of the end. Many shall run to an fro', knowledge shall be increased. And I David looked and there were two others, one on this side of the riverbank and one on the other side of the riverbank. The one yelled out to the other man who was clothed in linen and stood upon the waters of the river, "how long shall it be until the end of these wonders?" And I Daniel, heard the the man clothed in linen, who stood upon the waters of the river, say as he raised his left hand and his right hand toward heaven, "It shall be for a time, times, and a half time." And I Daniel heard but I did not understand. I asked the Lord, "Lord, what shall be the end of these things?" The Lord said to me, "Go Daniel, the book is sealed until the end time when many shall be made white, tried and purified, but the wicked, the wicked shall act wickedly." and the wise, the wise shall understand.
Interesting topic. I looked into this around 2020 along with a good recipe for goose. I had some longing within me that I was needing to return to the land and seasons... my people were farmers once and I had planted a garden to cope with the stress of the pandemic. Also there's this... I know I have had many experiences including dreams where I have a guardian angel. The most horrible things I went thru, that should have killed me, can only be understood now that I have survived as being part of some higher plan where I get glimpses of my angel. I'm not part of any church who has a liturgy or celebration and just read a little about it. I'm down for Michaelmas because the goose was delicious and I was glad to still be alive thru the pandemic and know there's been many times something took over when I was under threat. The times they tried to "Cook my Goose" and failed seems only fitting now to honor my 😇 for the assistance as I expect they were working overtime on my behalf.
Thank you for reminding me of my Guardian Angel. I met her a few times, in real time. Once when I was a toddler and very ill, and again when I experienced the darkest night of my soul. She saved me both times, not just from a physical standpoint, but from a spiritual aspect. I also had several occasions where I might have been killed but somehow wasn’t touched despite destruction around me. Angels are genuine and are a more finite form of matter than we, closest to God.
How do we talk about Mundo Imaginalis in a way, that our language will not stomp too heavily on those delicate substances? You are able to manage it somehow, Rupert Sheldrake, with your scholarship combined with pureness of soul and sometimes delicious British humour. Thank you for you being you!
I am so excited that this came across my feed being my favorite person speaking and my favorite day of the year. I named my son Michael. My archangel is Michael and September is my favorite month. What fun! Thank you Rupert for your undying wisdom. Angels in our subconscious are formed from an early age such as Ganesh must be for Hindus. Jung’s book on symbols explains a lot of it.
Lovely! Thank you Rupert for this marvelous video. I have a very well worn copy of your book on the subject! It was a part of my graduate studies work on the subject. I feel that both Matthew Fox and you are kindred souls along the path that celebrates these divine spirit beings! Keep up the beautiful work!
If you go with Rudolph Steiner and his Anthroposophy you get the latest "update" or revelation considered for our current era of humanity, you can find the most detailed description of angelology in his works and also Michaelmas which is the 2nd most important festivity right after Easter. Steiner gave his last speech at Michaelmas and was guided by Archangel Michael. Steiner was also Tomas Aquinas in one of his previous births/incarnation.
@@heddwyn3914 No, he separated himself from Theosophy of Madame Blavatsky. Anthroposophy was his life. Because the Theosophists always tried to find a "world teacher" just as they tried with Krishnamurti. But Anthroposophy is a down to earth path unfortunately spread with so much propaganda from all over the place because people don't look at it in detail.
The older I grow the more convinced I am that there are more things in Heaven and earth than we understand, and that we really don't have the faintest idea what they are. Rupert always offers interesting and learned ways to imagine what they might be. If I am not convinced, it is because I am not convinced by anything, but I am grateful for the contribution.
Excellent listen 👏 Lorna met my daughter Cara aged 11 on the other side and the things she shared noone beyond our immediate family would have known. We receive signs to this today from Cara and also the angels. Our first book Is Mise Cara: Orbs Souls and Holy Ghosts is being translated into Mandarin Spanish, Irish and Portuguese etc. We donate royalties to Cara's Brain Disease Foundation but share messages of hope that we will all be together with our loved ones again ❤
I've seen angels/guides several times and heard them whisper in my ear. Perhaps the spontaneous OBE I had at 19 ( 37 years ago) opened me up . Not something I usually share😅. Just felt like sharing with you today. Thanks Mr Sheldrake. God bless you.❤Much love from Montpellier( France).
one whispered: "you lost your keys again" "haha. very funny" (I just lost keys few days before) "check it" "checking" "you bastard, you knew and did not tell me before" unbelievable dudes. :D
Thank you Dr Sheldrake. Talking of wings though, I really love the angels' wings painted by the Northern Renaissance artists. I experience angels as messengers: hearing loving , guiding words sometimes for example. I had a dream of an angel during a time of sadness; I saw him and he embraced me . The love I felt from him was healing and unearthly. Not something one ever feels in this realm. He did not have wings. I just know it was true and real.
Hello Mr. Sheldrake! My friend Dennie Briggs taught me about your teachings! Back in 1996! Wishing you well. Dennie had an ongoing relationship with his deceased partner when he meditated. Angels are spirits and work with us all.
A rather cautious but valuable talk. It's amazing how far modern philosophers and scientists lag (apparently) behind spiritual-scientific researchers, held down by their faith in matter. It will be an amazing day when The Wall comes down and all those science books are thrown out and rewritten. What a Renaissance that will be! Steiner, Goethe and others have already marked out the way forward.
I'm delighted to have found this channel. Ruperts views have long fascinated me; my intuition rings true to much of what he has to say. Michaelmas is my birthday. I have long been aware of what I interpret to be the actions and influence of 'my guardian angel'. Not being a dogmatic religious person, I am however open to the possibility of a greater 'universal' consciousness and derive comfort from the few, rare, but pervasive personal experiences I've had. Spookily I obtained a copy of Rupert's book, 'The Physics of Angels', just this week and look forward to reading it.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil...and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Brilliant! You are a inspiring teacher and scholar. As a scientist/professor I am particularly enamored by your tenacity that broad thoughtfulness. I am integrating lessons learned from your work into my teaching. Thank you!
Do you know that “ alchemical” derived from Arabic “ alchemiya” refers to Egypt which was called “ Khem” by the Egyptians? They had the most sdvanced science and medicine in the Mediterranean world 2000 and 3,000 years ago. “ Khem” meant “ the Black land” referring to the black layer of silt deposited by the flooding of the Nile every year. “ Egypt” is a Greek word as they renamed everything in Egypt with Greek names. The Egyptians didn’t even call the river “ the Nile”. They called it “ Iteru, the Great Way” as of course it was the major transportation route.
@@garyfrancis6193 Thank you. Fascinating how words are recycled or passed down from culture to culture and unless we study derivations or have an interest, ignorance can flourish. Respect to ancestors that brought us here.
I'm 65 and have dreamed all my life of people, places, and things I've never seen before including beings and countrysides that are indescribable. I've come awake with names such as Agott, Nathar, and Desarda which I have never heard before in waking life. I spent what seemed like an entire night once as a young boy again playing in a field with God who came to me as a playful dog. I can't draw a stickman in waking life, yet I'm supposed to believe that I can create all these things in dreams and not even know that I've done it? Dreams and imagination belong to God, not man.
You've just answered a question I posed above. Do you want to expand on the idea that 'dreams and imagination BELONG to God, not man'. (sorry for the capitals...RUclips doesn't allow italics).
I'm not sure why you feel the separation between God - our Source - and 'His' creations. That consciousness exists well apart from these difficult skin schools, as it were, is evident in myriad STEs - spiritually transformative experiences - such as NDEs, SDEs, lucid dreams, OBEs, etc. It's why religion is a droplet of water compared to the ocean that is spirituality.
@@fredflintstone1428 No; I think it's best to let the statement lie as it is. Some things you have to feel in your bones. You seem to feel them too. Maybe not everybody is meant to though.
I have an angel that gently directs my attention to the realm of beauty. Whispers in my ear like the wind in the willows. And tells my heart with loving concern 'everything will be ok... My wild muse my souls true friend in this world of betrayal. DEO GRATIAS
I was born on St Michaels day and as told long ago that actually, they're not my angels but our angels, they're the Mental Sphere. Governor's of Creation. I have had knowledge of one in particular, an old friend from childhood. read 'God Speaks,' - Meher Baba. - Dodd-Mead publishing 1956. Thank you Rupert and thanks to my wife who gifted me this insight . . . your a natural! Om Namah Shivay, dear Beloved... ☘ Blessings 💖🙏💫
I have seen Archangel Michael beautiful flash of blue light since 2012 after I attended an angel workshop. I am very fond of him, he is like family to me and I feel more supportive than my own family in circumstantially challenging times. I also see other colours which I haven't quite identified but still love them. I know Mother Mary is close when I see her beautiful pink colour. Perhaps some people are more open too seeing this. I do feel I have all the ascended masters close too. If we only believe what we can see, well what about electricity? Very happy to have come across Dr Rupert Sheldrake on RUclips talking about this. Thank you
This is a wonderful talk on a Magnificent topic, and thank you! Just for further consideration, there is a fascinating book from mystic/clairvoyant Barbara Y Martin called 'Communing With The Divine', that addresses this subject from a mystical and metaphysical perspective.
Great stuff! Thanks! It's true that the impoverished science of modern materialism has no place for this. But, owing to the compounding of generational trauma over the centuries, and unbearable emotional stress in these times, there is an epigenetic change underway brining into the world human beings whose nervous systems are better tuned to the higher energetic realms you describe here. Children are being born with "eyes that see and ears that hear." Thank you again, Dr. Sheldrake! Good stuff!
Beautiful topic. You may be interested in the Gospel of Mary - she writes about the imagination, being part of the nous (spiritual mind), which is where Jesus said the resurrection would take place. It's profound because she describes using her imagination to help her connect to God through the nous; it gives her the ability to see with new, spiritual eyes. This then gives her a spiritual paradigm shift and she becomes one with God in a whole new way. So the imagination is sort of like angel wings - it helps you expand to new heights, ones higher than those on the material plane, and in reaching them we fully ignite the higher mind, and we're reborn in a sense and delivered from the material world... "I left this world with the aid of another world; a design was erased by virtue of a higher design..." - Gospel of Mary ❤
I have 4 university degrees including 2 in Engineering. Lorna Byrd is FABULOUS! I have loved her simplicity for years and her down-to-earth, real world quality with it. In my estimation, she is far above many “paranormal” academics. I have seen her in interview with 2 people who really SHOULD have appreciated her better, owing to their decades of honest, serious and open minded yet rigorous research… well I was sad to see them behaving nearly condescending to her less text-bookish or research-paper mode of communication. …. A little question for you, my very respected Dr. Sheldrake: in my observation, people with the best demonstrable Psi. abilities seem to suffer from some physical/mental impairment (e.g. Lorna’s dyslexia) : have you ever noticed anything to make such links? (No, I don’t presume to have any such ability, very sad to say.)
And if you miss Michaelmas in the Anglican or Roman churches, you can pick it up in the Eastern Orthodox on 8 November. Just remember that most Slavic parishes will have calculated it from the Julian calendar and it will be 21 November in the civil Gregorian reckoning. Holy angels & ministers of grace, help us!
Dr. S ~ this video was extra special. I hope many thousands watch it. Fwiw, I've had 2 NDEs, at 4 and 19. In the first one, after falling from a third floor balcony, I was 'caught' by wingless flying beings with mostly light where their faces were. What I remember most was that they were joyful and immensely familiar. My family recalls that I was precognitive for a few years afterwards, too. Hoping scientists begin studying the STEs (spiritually transformative experiences) that occur in the lives of many NDEers: the range is unique and many of our experiences veridical, as well. Paz y luz ✨️ to all
This video really is extra special. It clearly demonstrates how a highly educated scientist can become profoundly delusional. Angels, gods, devils, talking snakes...this is all such utter nonsense. No sane, rational person believes in gods or angels. Either grow up or get professional help/medication.
@@michaelfourie345and you think you have no “beliefs “ but you laid your beliefs out clearly. Science loves the Big Bang. What banged? What was there before the Big Bang. ? It is the worst creation story !
@@beckyconstantinides2546 I am a neuroscientist...I know nothing about the big bang, nor do I care. I do know about delusions and psychosis. Believing there are gods or angels, demons, ghosts, unicorns, virgin births, and talking non-human animals, is delusional.
@@michaelfourie345not too sure who needs their medication reviewed but everyone as he said has their point of view. Myself I just know those who KNOW the absolute ? 'Facts' are very dangerous reguardless.
@@spocksdaughter9641 I am quite prepared to admit when I am wrong and will change my views when presented with empirical evidence. I KNOW that I know very little, however, given the total lack of any evidence whatsoever, I, along with the overwhelming majority of academia, as well as rational lay people, would consider it risible to believe in angels. I have met a number of patients who believe this nonsense. Is anybody seriously suggesting that health care professionals should accept what these patients say...simply because a hypothetical argument could be made that we are wrong and, on that basis, stop giving them their antipsychotic medication? Stop trying to treat them?
Dear Rupert, this is fabulous. I ve always loved the idea of Angels and Archangels, I know the name of my particular guardian Angel according to the Jewish tradition. You have reminded me of Michelmas which was wonderfully celebrated every year at Michael Hall with all the children dressed in white. Thank you for mentioning the website, I now live in Tuscany, I ll try and look for a suitable church here. I am also now interested in Enochian, 'the language of Angels' as in John Dee. All best
Thank you so very much for the advice and inspiring elaboration! Would love to meditate with you upon the angels (first time that I heard that archangel Michael is the Archangel of Germany-but Rudolf Steiner was big on Michaelmas) this is great! You are actually very knowledgeable and I love to tune into your fountain of inspiration! How did I not ever consider before-that you could be on RUclips -miracles and wonders-it’s so beautiful to see and hear you speak! Best wishes to you and your loved ones from Stefan Berthold Matthias Oberst from Australia born in Germany 💦👼🕊️
Our conscious experience of existence, is part of the conscious being, that became our existence, a metaphysical experience brought into being from the awareness of it's own existence, from the realisation that it needed to do something, and the time has come for humanity to become aware of this.
St Michael the Archangel defend us in battle.Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all his evil spirits. seeking the ruin of Souls.Amen
My First Waking Dream was being introduced to the Devine University. Long Dream & very detailed. This was after my NDE. During my NDE I met my passed Mother. ? Folklore, Angels are real they bring understanding with direction. Love is key as well thoughts have a type of energy. Karma is real & rewards for deeds done. Good and Bad, lessons to be learned during your lifetime day. Seek what you Love and teach fellow souls the direction required to return to the place of your soul's birth. Thank you professor Sheldrake, I seek to clarify detail you only suspect but know. I am a post NDE seeker working to break the recurrent incarnation cycle. You too may wish to do this. To understand read the Gospel of Thomas till you understand all parables found within.
Rupert sheldrake if you read post about you, I want to thank you. You provided I new, more Western entry into the philosophy that I would believed in most of my life. Has that became competent in science And math, the dogma began to have it shipped back, I distrusted what I understood. Phenomenologically. I had been shut up for that by learning modern philosophical and mathematic ally like relativity😊 And quantum physics. I was told from the beginning that both of these were profoundly counterintuitive, with that mindset I pursued understanding them. It wasn't until I was 74 that I really had a felt sense of general relativity and special relatively. It is intuitive, it has rationality and geometry. You cannot bring into these feelings in 19th century concepts of ordered space and time. They are counterintuitive! Not modern physics, you can feel it. I moved to Angelica. Dualism is providing the most rigorous grounding in the large aligned I guess and idealism. I'm unsure about pantheism, it has logical problems, but it feels right. I will never again discount those internal feelings of Harmony when I get them.
Paramahansa Yogananda says in his little book, How You Can Talk With God, that God will communicate with you in a way that you are familiar. Angels or "celestial energies" are said to be God's orchestrators. It is fascinating that some of heaven's communication comes in visions and internal and external locations. Christians experience Christian visions and locations, Hindus experience Hindu visions and locations, Muslims experience Muslim visions and locations, etc. Teresa of Avila talks about intellectual locations where certain thoughts and answers come to us. I believe people receive intellectual locations all of the time but doubt them much of the time. Nicholous Black Elk, who is being considered one of the greatest mystics in the last 200 years, had unifying dreams connecting everyone and everything with Thunder Beings when he was in a coma at nine years old.
I love Lorna Byrne. Her belief in angels sustains mine and introduced me to the concept of a personal guardian angel which is comforting. I knew of the cherubim and seraphim, but not of the thrones. I pray for intercessionary guidance of Saint Etheldreda, amongst other saints. I believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I am sustained and protected from any and all harm in my belief. Amen.
I have never done Psychedelics and I have had encounters in my dreams while I sleep and in person, especially the last year with Angels. Two angelic encounters happened this year in the same location, where they physically manifested. The first was because I was loosing my light and it was a divine intervention that boosted my faith. This is not new for me I have been experiencing this since a very young child. 💜
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I have experienced angels in human form and have even experienced being an angel myself. I'm not sure how that works or if angels take us over, as it were, in order to do good for someone else. Any ideas, Rupert?
I’ve had experience’s that where life threatening and unexplainable. I also had experience’s of appearance of items lost turning up right in a place they where not before. When my dad died his favorite tie appeared in my home for me to wear to his funeral. Unexplainable but comforting.
I saw angels only once around the bed of my dying mother. Not wings - just a very strong impression of their presence. Her birthday was 29th Sept and not being a Christian family it is only now I learn of this Day and that I see why they might have treated her with ...an increased interest. I asked them what they were doing and they said they were helping her to die. The lamp over the hospital bed had a golden hue to it that had not been there on earlier visits. Whether or not I imagined it is idle conjecture as far as I am concerned. I would say that they "really existed" in my experience inasmuch as anything else does following as I do, a Zen path of doubt .! They were real for me.
One question if i can ask, from a previous lecture, i have been so curious since you explained energy, what it is etc. At one point in the discussion you mentioned thermodynamic laws/the amount of energy in the universe does not change.....yet also, the universe is ever expanding therefore getting larger... that must certainly indicate that energy is being created, as space expands doesnt it? The 10 dogmas of science have for years been one of my favorite videos to show others, personally i remain convinced those 10 points, accompanied by basic or simplistic understanding of morphic resonance, will ultimatey and eventually be the kindof, inaguration of humanitys eventual collective awakening/and later & likewise the scientific reconciliation that embodys our evolved understanding. Js.... is that dogma 11? Amount of energy in the universe never changes.....juxtposed with an ever expanding physical universe....expanding at astronomical rates .... i only wish.... there qas nore than 1 of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake js!!!! Hecis the modern day paracelcus in my opinion js!!!
Such thought provoking ideas. Am fascinated by the expansion of the universe, parallel lives, etc. Though I'm right-brained to a fault, the images from JWST, etc., are mantras for the eyes and bring perspective... Perhaps the shared emotion of wonder can be one that sets humanity on course.
When my sister was very ill in hospital, a nurse told me he could see her guardian angel, standing by the bed. I talk to my angel daily and ask for help - or a sign that I am doing the right thing. I have had many synchronicities like that. Once, when I was feeling grumpy that I hadn't heard from my angel for days, I said aloud in my car, If you are really there, show me an owl. Now, I live in a city and it was the middle of the afternoon - traffic, noise etc. - how could it happen? Then I glanced up and a new cafe had opened, called the Owl's Nest - with a picture of an owl above the door. They have a sense of humour. Thank you Rupert. Superb, as usual.
They do have a sense of humor.
Thank Father for all blessings given. Nothing is hidden & all will be revealed in the end. Father even knows all your thoughts, think of yourself as a child then you will be. Read the Gospel of Thomas enough and you will know too.
Don’t you just love it? I had something like that, too. I was pissed off and said..show me a hot air balloon. Ha! Let’s see you do that one. Later that day I was flipping through tv stations and stopped on a random channel. There appeared someone riding in a hot air balloon. Funny. They are very funny.
@@sugarglumpkins love it
This owl landed in the Laurel tree next to me, hung out together for a couple years.
Sheldrake has the right touch and is accessible. He makes the supernatural approachable without being boxed in.
Yes, well, he is trained to think like a scientist, so he understands the need for rational skepticism and welcomes it.
dr Sheldrake is both within and above science
I agree... I love the sound of his voice and his understanding of this realm.
Yes, scientists are ‘boxed in ‘
- a good description
-& aren’t most of us ‘boxed in’ by our distorted perceptions & social /academic conditioning in this strange chaotic illusion of reality
@kdmarrison8845 The box is a boundary that is part and parcel of the human condition. It is a defining and limiting aspect of being individual, part of our biological nature. It is also redefined in the process of examination, much like a memory is reshaped when we recall it into a context of the present, every time. The box need not be enemy.
"Angei of God my guardian dear, through whom God's love comits me here, ever this day be at my side, to light, to guide, to rule and guard." Amen

The Universe is far more than we can know, in this three dimensional matter reality. I will know more, or should I remember more, when I pass to the next plane of existence.
Thank you Rupert, for your intelligent discourse. The people in my circle don't want to reach out beyond their bubble, so I don't get to discuss such esoteric subjects.
There are lovely others probably hoping you'll be in their circle. May you find them soon, as these are the subjects that matter most to this life we're in.
Paz y luz ✨️
Both, know more & remember more. But haven't you noticed the remembering is happening more & more ⚡✨
@@lindavenport9788 It's more a feeling than a memory. I feel I have worked on the land in previous existences. I also have a bad feeling, because I "feel" an affinity with the Waffen SS which is rather unsettling, maybe that's why I 'm back here, to learn empaphy ???
For anyone in London - the Brompton Oratory Choir is magnificent and well worth travelling to for the Mass of the Archangels 29 September
Thanks for speaking so eloquently on the subject of Michaelmas and the angels. Rudolph Steiner brings much clarity to the meaning of Michaelmas and explains it as follows as quoted in the RS Archive: Christmas needed the birth of the Christ; Easter, His death and resurrection. For Michaelmas, mankind carries on the Easter thought into his own soul. While Easter represents the death and resurrection of Christ; Michaelmas represents the reverse in mankind: the resurrection of Man’s own soul and then physical death.
🙏😇 birth of the human soul
My heart is gladdened; my Soul more luminously shines in response to your words and observations…
Thank you so very much 🌀🕊🕊🕊
Happy Michaelmas Rupert xx
Not if you live in Mexico. A firecracker, a bang on the drums on the hour every hour
Happy Michaelmass to all and thank you for such delightful content. I must pick up those books. ××🕊
Rupert Sheldrake is quite an amazing man. Been listening to his view for about 7 years now. His knowledge is so very plausible.
Blessings to all. Thank you for sharing, Rupert. Always good to see you.
I've been to Lorna Byrne's sanctuary in Ireland. She was teaching the group to feel their guardian angels' presence in their life. It was a magical experience
As ever, interesting thoughts on a subject many people never contemplate. I wonder if people ever have dreams of 'mythical creatures' that they have not encountered within their society and up-bringing? That would point to them being 'real' in the objective way of residing within this imaginary consciousness. May health and longevity be bestowed upon Rupert as his insights are deeply needed in a world run by actors and clowns.
nice comment
I am so happy I found your talks Mr Sheldrake. Having been to your wife's, Jill Purse's chanting workshops for the last 35 years, your talks bring the spiritual even closer to my heart. Thank you so much ❤
"Unemployed" It is time I get my Guardian Angel off the welfare line.
I think mine turned to drink.
No they're just watching 😂
If Guardian angels exist, then I'm hiring, if I ever had one, I wouldn't doubt that it fled from exhaustion.
I loved this in the video- it made me feel a bit sad for the state of mankind as now so many seem so lonely. If Angels are lonely and people are lonely its just a matter of “frequency matchmaking”. I hope for many lonely or lost people they find that frequency.
@@kittyhinkle3739 and thanks to Rupert for helping us to understand that Angels are present and will help us if we allow them.
I have begun painting a series that each panel is an expression of one of the Angelic orders ~ the first one I made was a Cherubim, and I'm deep into doing the Seraphim now. Yesterday being Michaelmas I saw this video pop up on my RUclips homepage, even though I haven't been subscribed to Rupert's channel (am now) ~ playing it, when you got to the part about the Angelic orders, I could hardly believe what I was hearing though of course I could believe it. I'd been doing sketches of Cardinal wings to get the red wings right, and then painting those on the canvas, the six wings modelled after these precious birds who live in the same nature landscape as me ~ when you got to the part about the Seraphim being the radiance of divine love I burst into tears. Thank you Angels for this synchronicity-I'll gladly employ you and you can come help me whenever, I'll remember to ask ❤🔥
Dear Rupert, My birthday is 9/22/57. It's always been a synchronistic period for me. Now this, on angels reminds me I almost died as well, at 13, from what killed Houdini. I was later able to paint murals of the molecules of penicillin that saved my life on the walls of the very Bio-plant from which they derived. Long story. May I just say that I do indeed know my Guardian Angels oh so well. Some, like you Rupert, are even on RUclips. Peace.
You are a mental case.
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
A blessed St Michaelmas festival to all ...... let us prepare ourselves .
I belong to a group The Universal White Brotherhood ..... the teachings ofOmraam Mikhael Aivanhov and we have a centre in England . We will have a bonfire on Saturday evening where we celebrate Michaelmas , part of the ritual involves writing aspects of ourselves we wish to transform or discard and burning the letters in the fire . We will link ourselves to Archangel Michael and ask for protection and unite with him .
Thank you so much for the teachings Rupert and the music and services we can partake in during this season ❤
I have had many experiences when I’ve asked my guardians/angels to help me in prayer for all beings, and they always answer by appearing very close to the earths atmosphere and ‘dance’ for me with bright colored light, become bright and big for an instant and then bow out. I KNOW that my prayers are heard and answered. Thank you dear Father. I am blessed . 😇
Thankyou for bringing this topic into more of the public domain Rupert x x x
After many years of traditional meditation practice and during one sit I became enveloped in an offwhite cloak/robe of unbleached white wool, somehat coarse but extremely comfortable. Inside this was/is emptiness of form. I instinctively realised I had joined with the socalled white brotherhood, and that the cloak/robe was/is subtle form enclosing emptiness. The white brotherhood can be considered as, and indeed is, angelelic presence; and stand as a gateway into finer vibrational realms.
For ten or more years now the emptiness and the cloak/robe remain undiminished, and though I do forget about it, it's only ever a fingersnap away ! It gives a clear perspective rather like a window on the world; and combined with everyday life, thought and feeling, makes for a lovely and insightful blend. And I've come to consider that it will now probably remain with me...
As always, superb.❤
Saint Michael Archangel and Legions of Light! I need you come quickly to banish all fright!
Blaze Thy Blue Lighting! Release Cosmic Power, seize every appearance oh human desire!
Bolts of Blue Lighting! Descend from Above! Shatter all darkness opposed to God’s Love!
Sword of Blue Flame and Sheets of White Fire! Raise record of memory higher and higher!
Lord Michael Archangel, Great Sword of Blue Flame! Protect us, Defend us In God’s IAm Name!
Bolts of Blue Lighting! Descend from Above! Shatter all darkness opposed to God’s Love!
Sword of Blue Flame and Sheets of White Fire! Raise record of memory higher and higher!
And at that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who watches over the sons of your people. There shall be a time of great trouble. Such as never was, since there was a nation, even yet up until that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, all who are found written in the book. Many who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awaken to joy and everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. The wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who lead many to righteousness like the stars forever and forever,.
Oh Daniel ,go thy way, seal up the book, shut up the words until the time of the end. Many shall run to an fro', knowledge shall be increased. And I David looked and there were two others, one on this side of the riverbank and one on the other side of the riverbank. The one yelled out to the other man who was clothed in linen and stood upon the waters of the river, "how long shall it be until the end of these wonders?" And I Daniel, heard the the man clothed in linen, who stood upon the waters of the river, say as he raised his left hand and his right hand toward heaven, "It shall be for a time, times, and a half time." And I Daniel heard but I did not understand. I asked the Lord, "Lord, what shall be the end of these things?" The Lord said to me, "Go Daniel, the book is sealed until the end time when many shall be made white, tried and purified, but the wicked, the wicked shall act wickedly." and the wise, the wise shall understand.
Beings of light ✨ 🦋💜
Awesome, so much within this, so many realms , flowing of reason , emotion , holiness . So much Love to you Rupert . ❤
My thoughts too✨
Wishing all a blessed Michaelmas …Thankyou God bless you and God bless all.

Interesting topic. I looked into this around 2020 along with a good recipe for goose. I had some longing within me that I was needing to return to the land and seasons... my people were farmers once and I had planted a garden to cope with the stress of the pandemic. Also there's this... I know I have had many experiences including dreams where I have a guardian angel. The most horrible things I went thru, that should have killed me, can only be understood now that I have survived as being part of some higher plan where I get glimpses of my angel. I'm not part of any church who has a liturgy or celebration and just read a little about it. I'm down for Michaelmas because the goose was delicious and I was glad to still be alive thru the pandemic and know there's been many times something took over when I was under threat. The times they tried to "Cook my Goose" and failed seems only fitting now to honor my 😇 for the assistance as I expect they were working overtime on my behalf.
Thank you for reminding me of my Guardian Angel. I met her a few times, in real time. Once when I was a toddler and very ill, and again when I experienced the darkest night of my soul. She saved me both times, not just from a physical standpoint, but from a spiritual aspect. I also had several occasions where I might have been killed but somehow wasn’t touched despite destruction around me. Angels are genuine and are a more finite form of matter than we, closest to God.
How do we talk about Mundo Imaginalis in a way, that our language will not stomp too heavily on those delicate substances? You are able to manage it somehow, Rupert Sheldrake, with your scholarship combined with pureness of soul and sometimes delicious British humour. Thank you for you being you!
I have always wondered about Lorna Byrne. She seems so very sincere. It really makes one wonder. I am very open to the existence of angels.
I am so excited that this came across my feed being my favorite person speaking and my favorite day of the year. I named my son Michael. My archangel is Michael and September is my favorite month. What fun! Thank you Rupert for your undying wisdom. Angels in our subconscious are formed from an early age such as Ganesh must be for Hindus. Jung’s book on symbols explains a lot of it.
Yess..Read the red book by jung. Or his other books first.
Lovely! Thank you Rupert for this marvelous video. I have a very well worn copy of your book on the subject! It was a part of my graduate studies work on the subject. I feel that both Matthew Fox and you are kindred souls along the path that celebrates these divine spirit beings! Keep up the beautiful work!
Thank You Mr. Sheldrake, this Sunday we will habe our Angels very present, sing them a few songs and speak to our Guardián Ángel!
If you go with Rudolph Steiner and his Anthroposophy you get the latest "update" or revelation considered for our current era of humanity, you can find the most detailed description of angelology in his works and also Michaelmas which is the 2nd most important festivity right after Easter. Steiner gave his last speech at Michaelmas and was guided by Archangel Michael. Steiner was also Tomas Aquinas in one of his previous births/incarnation.
Also Thomas Mayer is 70 and an anthroposophist and knows a lot about angels.
@@bertibear1300 yes I recently watched his videos about anthroposophic meditation
Don't forget though that Steiner separated himself from Anthroposophy.
@@heddwyn3914 No, he separated himself from Theosophy of Madame Blavatsky. Anthroposophy was his life. Because the Theosophists always tried to find a "world teacher" just as they tried with Krishnamurti. But Anthroposophy is a down to earth path unfortunately spread with so much propaganda from all over the place because people don't look at it in detail.
The older I grow the more convinced I am that there are more things in Heaven and earth than we understand, and that we really don't have the faintest idea what they are. Rupert always offers interesting and learned ways to imagine what they might be. If I am not convinced, it is because I am not convinced by anything, but I am grateful for the contribution.
Excellent listen 👏 Lorna met my daughter Cara aged 11 on the other side and the things she shared noone beyond our immediate family would have known. We receive signs to this today from Cara and also the angels. Our first book Is Mise Cara: Orbs Souls and Holy Ghosts is being translated into Mandarin Spanish, Irish and Portuguese etc. We donate royalties to Cara's Brain Disease Foundation but share messages of hope that we will all be together with our loved ones again ❤
I've seen angels/guides several times and heard them whisper in my ear. Perhaps the spontaneous OBE I had at 19 ( 37 years ago) opened me up .
Not something I usually share😅. Just felt like sharing with you today.
Thanks Mr Sheldrake. God bless you.❤Much love from Montpellier( France).
one whispered: "you lost your keys again"
"haha. very funny" (I just lost keys few days before)
"check it"
"checking" "you bastard, you knew and did not tell me before"
unbelievable dudes. :D

Thank you Dr Sheldrake. Talking of wings though, I really love the angels' wings painted by the Northern Renaissance artists. I experience angels as messengers: hearing loving , guiding words sometimes for example. I had a dream of an angel during a time of sadness; I saw him and he embraced me . The love I felt from him was healing and unearthly. Not something one ever feels in this realm. He did not have wings. I just know it was true and real.
Hello Mr. Sheldrake! My friend Dennie Briggs taught me about your teachings! Back in 1996!
Wishing you well.
Dennie had an ongoing relationship with his deceased partner when he meditated.
Angels are spirits and work with us all.
How beautiful is this! Thank you!
A rather cautious but valuable talk. It's amazing how far modern philosophers and scientists lag (apparently) behind spiritual-scientific researchers, held down by their faith in matter. It will be an amazing day when The Wall comes down and all those science books are thrown out and rewritten. What a Renaissance that will be! Steiner, Goethe and others have already marked out the way forward.
I heard of it while watching "Larkrise to Candleford". Didn't know the history of it. Thank You!
I always find the ideas of Rupert Sheldrake useful my fav is the Morphic Resonance Field
the best interpretation in the world so far
I'm delighted to have found this channel. Ruperts views have long fascinated me; my intuition rings true to much of what he has to say. Michaelmas is my birthday. I have long been aware of what I interpret to be the actions and influence of 'my guardian angel'. Not being a dogmatic religious person, I am however open to the possibility of a greater 'universal' consciousness and derive comfort from the few, rare, but pervasive personal experiences I've had. Spookily I obtained a copy of Rupert's book, 'The Physics of Angels', just this week and look forward to reading it.
Spookie=Omens ? Good for you
Angel Michael 🙏🕊️🩵💙🩵
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil...and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
He defended the heavens and sent the evil to earth, I think.
Brilliant! You are a inspiring teacher and scholar. As a scientist/professor I am particularly enamored by your tenacity that broad thoughtfulness. I am integrating lessons learned from your work into my teaching. Thank you!
The comments here are thoughtful and intelligent as is your message. Thank you all.
Thank you for sharing your insights in this message, Dr. Sheldrake. Sending blessings to you from Los Angeles ❤
The Angels existed but of course academia will never accept such 'fairy tales'. I believe in fairies too though!
The angels may enlighten you about this world’s fairy tale. While men set pondering the fairy tale of angels
I highly recommend simply asking Michael for a small task.
How do I love thee, let me count my ways.
Thank you for the grace that I experience,simply by hearing you speak.I'm blessed.
Thanks so much Mr. Sheldrake for sharing your wisdom with us, so clearly!
Blessings.
Making the far near. An Alchemical talk rendering the ineffable accessible. Thank you to infinity and beyond. Blessings.
Do you know that “ alchemical” derived from Arabic “ alchemiya” refers to Egypt which was called “ Khem” by the Egyptians? They had the most sdvanced science and medicine in the Mediterranean world 2000 and 3,000 years ago. “ Khem” meant “ the Black land” referring to the black layer of silt deposited by the flooding of the Nile every year. “ Egypt” is a Greek word as they renamed everything in Egypt with Greek names. The Egyptians didn’t even call the river “ the Nile”. They called it “ Iteru, the Great Way” as of course it was the major transportation route.
@@garyfrancis6193 Thank you. Fascinating how words are recycled or passed down from culture to culture and unless we study derivations or have an interest, ignorance can flourish. Respect to ancestors that brought us here.
🕊️✨THANK 🌷🌻🌹… Blessings to you & your family. 🙏🏽💓💞💕
I'm 65 and have dreamed all my life of people, places, and things I've never seen before including beings and countrysides that are indescribable. I've come awake with names such as Agott, Nathar, and Desarda which I have never heard before in waking life. I spent what seemed like an entire night once as a young boy again playing in a field with God who came to me as a playful dog. I can't draw a stickman in waking life, yet I'm supposed to believe that I can create all these things in dreams and not even know that I've done it? Dreams and imagination belong to God, not man.
You've just answered a question I posed above. Do you want to expand on the idea that 'dreams and imagination BELONG to God, not man'. (sorry for the capitals...RUclips doesn't allow italics).
I'm not sure why you feel the separation between God - our Source - and 'His' creations. That consciousness exists well apart from these difficult skin schools, as it were, is evident in myriad STEs - spiritually transformative experiences - such as NDEs, SDEs, lucid dreams, OBEs, etc.
It's why religion is a droplet of water compared to the ocean that is spirituality.
@@fredflintstone1428 No; I think it's best to let the statement lie as it is. Some things you have to feel in your bones. You seem to feel them too. Maybe not everybody is meant to though.
Thanks very much for your words. September the 29th is my birthday! What an honour!
I have an angel that gently directs my attention to the realm of beauty. Whispers in my ear like the wind in the willows. And tells my heart with loving concern 'everything will be ok...
My wild muse my souls true friend in this world of betrayal.
DEO GRATIAS
Amazing! ❤🎉
I was born on St Michaels day and as told long ago that actually, they're not my angels but our angels, they're the Mental Sphere. Governor's of Creation.
I have had knowledge of one in particular, an old friend from childhood.

Upon your recommendation I've downloaded the PDF. Thank you, my first impression is favourable.
Love you!👏🙏💯🍀
It is not our belief which empowers us, it is simply the absence of doubt.
Thank you for sharing this enlightened perspective.
I have seen Archangel Michael beautiful flash of blue light since 2012 after I attended an angel workshop. I am very fond of him, he is like family to me and I feel more supportive than my own family in circumstantially challenging times. I also see other colours which I haven't quite identified but still love them. I know Mother Mary is close when I see her beautiful pink colour. Perhaps some people are more open too seeing this. I do feel I have all the ascended masters close too. If we only believe what we can see, well what about electricity? Very happy to have come across Dr Rupert Sheldrake on RUclips talking about this. Thank you
This is a wonderful talk on a Magnificent topic, and thank you! Just for further consideration, there is a fascinating book from mystic/clairvoyant Barbara Y Martin called 'Communing With The Divine', that addresses this subject from a mystical and metaphysical perspective.
wow, I am very glad this was recommended to me
Great stuff! Thanks! It's true that the impoverished science of modern materialism has no place for this. But, owing to the compounding of generational trauma over the centuries, and unbearable emotional stress in these times, there is an epigenetic change underway brining into the world human beings whose nervous systems are better tuned to the higher energetic realms you describe here. Children are being born with "eyes that see and ears that hear." Thank you again, Dr. Sheldrake! Good stuff!
I have many angel both in spirit and in the body kind❤!!! Thank you all!!!
I was so happy to discover that you had a youtube channel. I am a big fan of your thinking all the way from the Morphic Resonance book.
Beautiful topic. You may be interested in the Gospel of Mary - she writes about the imagination, being part of the nous (spiritual mind), which is where Jesus said the resurrection would take place. It's profound because she describes using her imagination to help her connect to God through the nous; it gives her the ability to see with new, spiritual eyes. This then gives her a spiritual paradigm shift and she becomes one with God in a whole new way. So the imagination is sort of like angel wings - it helps you expand to new heights, ones higher than those on the material plane, and in reaching them we fully ignite the higher mind, and we're reborn in a sense and delivered from the material world... "I left this world with the aid of another world; a design was erased by virtue of a higher design..." - Gospel of Mary ❤
Just reading this wonderful to read shared this to my story about the lonely and lost .
My mum always saw them with me if somone was passing .
I have 4 university degrees including 2 in Engineering. Lorna Byrd is FABULOUS! I have loved her simplicity for years and her down-to-earth, real world quality with it. In my estimation, she is far above many “paranormal” academics. I have seen her in interview with 2 people who really SHOULD have appreciated her better, owing to their decades of honest, serious and open minded yet rigorous research… well I was sad to see them behaving nearly condescending to her less text-bookish or research-paper mode of communication. …. A little question for you, my very respected Dr. Sheldrake: in my observation, people with the best demonstrable Psi. abilities seem to suffer from some physical/mental impairment (e.g. Lorna’s dyslexia) : have you ever noticed anything to make such links? (No, I don’t presume to have any such ability, very sad to say.)
Thank you so very much.
My favorite Christian, thank you❤
No wonder I've been singing so much the past few days! ✨️✨️
And if you miss Michaelmas in the Anglican or Roman churches, you can pick it up in the Eastern Orthodox on 8 November. Just remember that most Slavic parishes will have calculated it from the Julian calendar and it will be 21 November in the civil Gregorian reckoning. Holy angels & ministers of grace, help us!
Dr. S ~ this video was extra special. I hope many thousands watch it.
Fwiw, I've had 2 NDEs, at 4 and 19.
In the first one, after falling from a third floor balcony, I was 'caught' by wingless flying beings with mostly light where their faces were. What I remember most was that they were joyful and immensely familiar.
My family recalls that I was precognitive for a few years afterwards, too.
Hoping scientists begin studying the STEs (spiritually transformative experiences) that occur in the lives of many NDEers: the range is unique and many of our experiences veridical, as well.
Paz y luz ✨️ to all
This video really is extra special. It clearly demonstrates how a highly educated scientist can become profoundly delusional. Angels, gods, devils, talking snakes...this is all such utter nonsense. No sane, rational person believes in gods or angels. Either grow up or get professional help/medication.

@@spocksdaughter9641 I am quite prepared to admit when I am wrong and will change my views when presented with empirical evidence. I KNOW that I know very little, however, given the total lack of any evidence whatsoever, I, along with the overwhelming majority of academia, as well as rational lay people, would consider it risible to believe in angels. I have met a number of patients who believe this nonsense. Is anybody seriously suggesting that health care professionals should accept what these patients say...simply because a hypothetical argument could be made that we are wrong and, on that basis, stop giving them their antipsychotic medication? Stop trying to treat them?
Dear Rupert, this is fabulous. I ve always loved the idea of Angels and Archangels, I know the name of my particular guardian Angel according to the Jewish tradition. You have reminded me of Michelmas which was wonderfully celebrated every year at Michael Hall with all the children dressed in white. Thank you for mentioning the website, I now live in Tuscany, I ll try and look for a suitable church here. I am also now interested in Enochian, 'the language of Angels' as in John Dee. All best
Thank you so very much for the advice and inspiring elaboration! Would love to meditate with you upon the angels (first time that I heard that archangel Michael is the Archangel of Germany-but Rudolf Steiner was big on Michaelmas) this is great! You are actually very knowledgeable and I love to tune into your fountain of inspiration! How did I not ever consider before-that you could be on RUclips -miracles and wonders-it’s so beautiful to see and hear you speak! Best wishes to you and your loved ones from Stefan Berthold Matthias Oberst from Australia born in Germany 💦👼🕊️
A very special St Mikhaelmass this year, you will find
Our conscious experience of existence, is part of the conscious being, that became our existence, a metaphysical experience brought into being from the awareness of it's own existence, from the realisation that it needed to do something, and the time has come for humanity to become aware of this.
St Michael the Archangel defend us in battle.Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray and do thou O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all his evil spirits. seeking the ruin of Souls.Amen
My First Waking Dream was being introduced to the Devine University. Long Dream & very detailed. This was after my NDE. During my NDE I met my passed Mother. ? Folklore, Angels are real they bring understanding with direction. Love is key as well thoughts have a type of energy. Karma is real & rewards for deeds done. Good and Bad, lessons to be learned during your lifetime day. Seek what you Love and teach fellow souls the direction required to return to the place of your soul's birth. Thank you professor Sheldrake, I seek to clarify detail you only suspect but know. I am a post NDE seeker working to break the recurrent incarnation cycle. You too may wish to do this. To understand read the Gospel of Thomas till you understand all parables found within.
Rupert sheldrake if you read post about you, I want to thank you. You provided I new, more Western entry into the philosophy that I would believed in most of my life. Has that became competent in science And math, the dogma began to have it shipped back, I distrusted what I understood. Phenomenologically. I had been shut up for that by learning modern philosophical and mathematic ally like relativity😊 And quantum physics. I was told from the beginning that both of these were profoundly counterintuitive, with that mindset I pursued understanding them. It wasn't until I was 74 that I really had a felt sense of general relativity and special relatively. It is intuitive, it has rationality and geometry. You cannot bring into these feelings in 19th century concepts of ordered space and time. They are counterintuitive! Not modern physics, you can feel it. I moved to Angelica. Dualism is providing the most rigorous grounding in the large aligned I guess and idealism. I'm unsure about pantheism, it has logical problems, but it feels right. I will never again discount those internal feelings of Harmony when I get them.
I just want to say, he looks very well!
Paramahansa Yogananda says in his little book, How You Can Talk With God, that God will communicate with you in a way that you are familiar. Angels or "celestial energies" are said to be God's orchestrators. It is fascinating that some of heaven's communication comes in visions and internal and external locations. Christians experience Christian visions and locations, Hindus experience Hindu visions and locations, Muslims experience Muslim visions and locations, etc. Teresa of Avila talks about intellectual locations where certain thoughts and answers come to us. I believe people receive intellectual locations all of the time but doubt them much of the time. Nicholous Black Elk, who is being considered one of the greatest mystics in the last 200 years, had unifying dreams connecting everyone and everything with Thunder Beings when he was in a coma at nine years old.
I love Lorna Byrne. Her belief in angels sustains mine and introduced me to the concept of a personal guardian angel which is comforting. I knew of the cherubim and seraphim, but not of the thrones. I pray for intercessionary guidance of Saint Etheldreda, amongst other saints. I believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I am sustained and protected from any and all harm in my belief. Amen.
Michelangelo St Michael sculpture is superlative in defining the essence of this divine being who cast Satan into Hell
Thank you for this lovely presentation on Michaelmas. I plan to do a personal observance. My Mother's funeral is a few days after.
I have never done Psychedelics and I have had encounters in my dreams while I sleep and in person, especially the last year with Angels. Two angelic encounters happened this year in the same location, where they physically manifested. The first was because I was loosing my light and it was a divine intervention that boosted my faith. This is not new for me I have been experiencing this since a very young child. 💜
That day is my name day!
So interesting, thank you . Much appreciated ❤
Amazing sense of creativity. The way that you can blend the rationale and the imaginative you you are potent dude.
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I have experienced angels in human form and have even experienced being an angel myself. I'm not sure how that works or if angels take us over, as it were, in order to do good for someone else. Any ideas, Rupert?
I’m going to surmise that Elena Danaan watches Sheldrake often. It fits her intellect and sensibility.
Jolly Good Show, Rupert. ❤
I’ve had experience’s that where life threatening and unexplainable. I also had experience’s of appearance of items lost turning up right in a place they where not before. When my dad died his favorite tie appeared in my home for me to wear to his funeral. Unexplainable but comforting.
I saw angels only once around the bed of my dying mother. Not wings - just a very strong impression of their presence. Her birthday was 29th Sept and not being a Christian family it is only now I learn of this Day and that I see why they might have treated her with ...an increased interest.
I asked them what they were doing and they said they were helping her to die. The lamp over the hospital bed had a golden hue to it that had not been there on earlier visits.
Whether or not I imagined it is idle conjecture as far as I am concerned. I would say that they "really existed" in my experience inasmuch as anything else does following as I do, a Zen path of doubt .! They were real for me.
Yes, I had a dream where I was talking with Ganesh.
One question if i can ask, from a previous lecture, i have been so curious since you explained energy, what it is etc. At one point in the discussion you mentioned thermodynamic laws/the amount of energy in the universe does not change.....yet also, the universe is ever expanding therefore getting larger... that must certainly indicate that energy is being created, as space expands doesnt it? The 10 dogmas of science have for years been one of my favorite videos to show others, personally i remain convinced those 10 points, accompanied by basic or simplistic understanding of morphic resonance, will ultimatey and eventually be the kindof, inaguration of humanitys eventual collective awakening/and later & likewise the scientific reconciliation that embodys our evolved understanding. Js.... is that dogma 11? Amount of energy in the universe never changes.....juxtposed with an ever expanding physical universe....expanding at astronomical rates .... i only wish.... there qas nore than 1 of Dr. Rupert Sheldrake js!!!! Hecis the modern day paracelcus in my opinion js!!!

Am fascinated by the expansion of the universe, parallel lives, etc.
Though I'm right-brained to a fault, the images from JWST, etc., are mantras for the eyes and bring perspective...
Perhaps the shared emotion of wonder can be one that sets humanity on course.
