Guided Aspects of an Uncommon Life

This image shows a typical representation of the angelic — I attended "Angels in America" at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles in 1992, a couple years prior to my own life-changing initiation to the involvement in my life of an unseen intelligence/guide/Angelic Force.

A reader should keep in mind that my own experience of life during my first 39 years lacked the spiritual insights and metaphysical revelations that soon came thereafter.  I turned 39 in August 1995 just before my life changed as described in the recent articles beginning with "Other Revelations".  As an adult, I had been accustomed to making each decision and choice according to my ideas and conscience without the advice of other people as I've always been single.  Last summer, I decided to begin sharing specific details about my life in an autobiographical series of articles.  Something that I've never divulged has to deal with most of my choices made as a metaphysical author.  As I previously explained to some extent about what happened to me beginning in 1995, my ever-present and omnipresent 'guide'/'guardian angel' began interacting with me in an unceasingly noticeable way.  I've described these circumstances yet perhaps without feeling any need to convey the extent of the interaction. 

I never thought it possible or practical to keep a precise record of everything that happened yet hundreds of microcassette recordings were made (that haven't been transcribed for publication) during the period when I was keeping an 'audio journal' of my daily eventful life with 768 cassettes accumulated through the end of 2002.  A brief introduction to this array of guidance phenomena was mentioned in one blog article — As one who is attentive to watching out for synchronicities, hardly a day goes by when there is no recognition of some manner of synchronicity concerning such noticed objects as personalized car license plate messages and bumper stickers, timely radio songs, or messages on the T-shirts of people passing by.  When I became ill in June 2017 I decided to divulge the unusual scope of my life since 1995.  It was a year later when I first wrote about my health crisis in a couple articles (1, 2) — while recuperating throughout this period I'd been able to continue working in my high school occupation and found the activity to be a form of beneficial physical therapy.
 

In 1995 when I became aware of the close proximity of my always-appreciated manifesting guide, it was obvious that the entity was existing in a spiritual condition of life free of earthly limitations and 'in Oneness' as the manifestations were noticeably beyond any limiting aspect of time or space.  The early incidents of the TV coming on for a message and then going off as well as finding a few mysterious messages while working at the computer was a comparatively brief interlude.  As an author book publicity was always a consideration; after all, this had been my profession since September 1987.  Essentially, I felt the profound responsibility of being messenger and 'chosen one' yet the significance of this seemed to go unnoticed or unappreciated among some of the people with mainstream media careers with whom I interacted. 

 

After firsthand experiences with this phenomena, an important part of my life became exploring transcendental communication case studies.  What has been something challenging for my mind to grasp is how few investigative books have been published about this phenomena.  What seems to be the main impediment to journalists reporting about channeling is the facet of human psychology concerning the awareness that information conflicting with perceived consensus beliefs engenders expectation of disapproval.  

  

It was after becoming a blogger in 2009 that I began noticing an exponential amount of recurring three-number codes seen while driving.  I began assigning meanings to different sequences with such meanings as 'needs editing,' 'remove something' or 'add something' and since then the codes have corresponded to revisions I was then able to find necessary about whatever article was the current one being prepared.  There have been times when I held back on publishing an article until estimating that the codes had been addressed.  A few times over the years when my guide has seemed particularly dissatisfied with something, there has been a single loud thump heard against the mattress of my bed — one way of getting my attention.  Then I would have to figure out what was the offending sentence.  Overall, these corrections would generally be about something written that didn't take into consideration the 'bigger picture' that was being overlooked through my addressing some minor situation. 

Clearly beyond any personal control, I never know when some meaningful signal will be given by the guiding Force.  The manifestations have included coin symbolism.  Wherever I happen to be, a penny is always a sign of encouragement.  I've come to interpret a dime as the signal of my being scolded for some minor fault.  A quarter is encountered if I've had some thought or feeling that more considerably offended my unseen 'friend.'  If not for my 'friend,' I don't think I'd still be alive.  Countless times at night since my health crisis three years ago, a small tap would awaken me when it was necessary to get out of bed to allow the accumulation of gas inside me to come up and out of me.  As a considerable percentage of older people have this difficulty, some advice that I can offer is to always try to sleep on your right side as this seems best for circulation and alleviates many symptoms of IBS for me. 

I think the first time the 'no' tap happened during the daytime while working at my school was circa 2011.  I remember planning to stop by a shoe store when the work day was over.  I thought the signal was just a sympathetic expression that this could be done later so I decided to disregard it.  Later I realized that there were more substantial reasons for the instruction to change my schedule.  A car almost backed up into mine and a few days later I learned that I needed a different type of shoe than what I'd purchased.  Online I found that people with a bunion should wear the extra-wide shoe size — something I hadn't known before.  Since discovering this, wearing the correct shoes made a big difference with that health consideration as well.  I didn't want to have the surgery where they break your toe bone as this doesn't always turn out well for people.  

Once when the 'no' signal was given, I'd just pulled into a parking place at a store.  I didn't want to go to the trouble of finding another space to park so decided instead to take my time and spend an additional ten minutes at the store.  When I went to leave, there was a woman waiting beside her car in the adjacent space to mine.  She saw that I was going to leave yet as I slowly backed away from the space, for some reason she walked into my car.  She wasn't hurt yet I realized that the 'no' signal should always be taken very seriously.  The strangest time that I was given the 'no' signal happened one afternoon at the gym upon getting into my car to leave.  After getting the 'no' tap, I waited and about ten minutes went by.  Suddenly there was a 'yes' tap (on the other leg) so I left the parking lot and began the drive home.  At the first red light that I reached, the biggest limo I've ever seen pulled up alongside my car.  I tried to see who was inside yet the windows were all darkly tinted.  Was the person in the back seat one of my readers?  I can only wonder.

The 'no' tap has occurred at the time of some unexpected occasions, such as once when I decided to enter an essay contest.  I was going to submit the contest entry under my real name and not my 'Mark Russell Bell' pen name.  Just as I was preparing to make the submission online, my guide whom I call 'Michael' indicated with a tap that he didn't agree with this plan so I relented and submitted the essay under my usual pen name.  While many essays were selected for being published at the website of the radio show, mine wasn't one of those selected although I thought there had been a good chance.  (article presenting my essay)

Something previously mentioned about the manifestations of the angelic force was how at first I began using the nickname 'Boo' only to start seeing 'Betty Boop' synchronicity.  When I told my twin brother Mike about this phenomena, I spontaneously suggested that my guide have my brother experience some of this synchronicity.  Soon after that, my brother told me he'd gone into a small cards and gifts boutique near where he lived and the owner said to him, "Is this what you're looking for?" and held up a Betty Boop figurine to show him.

Considering case studies about paranormal phenomena, one type of occurrence that I've never personally witnessed is 'mirror writing' where an unseen guide communicates by writing on a mirror; or through receiving materialized letters or having telephone conversations with some 'entity' (although EVP heard during telephone conversations is something common for me).

On a few occasions while investigating newly published books online, the 'yes' tap was experienced.  This was the reason I first decided to read The Call of the Trance (2014) by Catherine Clément as one example.  Over the years, there were times when I was considering making a telephone call and there would occur a tap signal specifying 'now.'  Years ago, when I was engaging in guest interviews on radio shows to discuss Testament (1997) there were occasions when the 'no' tap occurred when I was thinking about pursuing or accepting an invitation for a specific program.

After the case study book of my paranormal initiation Testament was published in January 1997 with all the corollary expenses, I resumed working in temporary jobs while living in a comparatively expensive Santa Monica high-rise apartment.  The 1,100-page documentary-style case study was given a minimal cost of $21.95 and my assumptions about the opportunities that would follow turned out to be unrealistic.  When the building owners began offering $20,000 relocation fees to a few of the tenants, I had to figure out a way of becoming one of the 'lucky' ones to be given such an offer.  The first time I asked, the response was a brush-off.  My apartment was only on the third floor and I was a model tenant, etc.  After my latest temp job ended, I had time to reflect about how to accomplish getting a relocation offer.  Being friendly with the management office staff, I decided to provide them with a complimentary copy of Testament so that they might understand what a unique tenant I was.  A few days later came word that I'd immediately receive a relocation check if I could fulfill the stipulation that I move out within 14 days.  I hurriedly began apartment hunting online and eventually decided to relocate to the San Fernando Valley.  It was a lucky day indeed when I visited an apartment that seemed ideal and it also happened to be the least expensive one among those on my list.

That was 21 years ago.

The effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic upon daily life are taking place after my retirement from my school job.  I've passed many hours reflecting about life and the reasons I'm knowledgeable about so many aspects of life that are beyond most people's daily experience.  There are few places for me to go at present so I've had even more time than usual to research some unusual subjects online.  I've been driving my car only for essential chores such as grocery shopping so the traffic form of synchronicity messages is less prevalent in my life.  I've noticed at YouTube that a variety of videos appear with some conforming with previous topics selected.  Yesterday one such video reminded me how the expression of love and call to love will always be of consequence: "Baby Magpie Falls In Love With His Rescuer's Cat".

Things are beginning to look a little bleak when I look out the window of my valley apartment.  Several weeks ago and then again more recently, I've heard people on the sidewalk going past while having fits of coughing.  Yesterday there was a birthday party for toddlers across the streets and I could understand the excitement of the children after being confined at home for so long yet the sad reality is that nobody was wearing masks or taking precautions so the risk of infection for each attendee increased exponentially at this gathering.  In different parts of the world, people are attempting to renew their social and financial enterprises despite potential risks.  Everyone has to find a way through the uncertain circumstances as best we can.

The unprecedented American stimulus packages provide an example and a realization.  As we've all experienced here in the United States, wealth can be instantaneously generated.  There is an opportunity for governments worldwide to come together in adapting economic systems to the realization of the unlimited resources that have the ultimate source in co-creation and expression of the God Force.  Recent blog articles have reminded about aspects of life that deserve consideration.  The myriad of transcendental communicators have conveyed how the more people there are who expand their metaphysical awareness about the potentialities of spiritual realization, the greater range of possibilities that become possible on the Earth plane.

Perhaps baseless superstitious fears are a reason for there having been evident for many decades great resistance to new teachings, new dispensations, although much of this seems to be due to a corrupted news media influenced by commercialism and materialistically motivated propaganda.  Some contemporary people seem to go through life being in denial of the preponderance of instruction about God from transcendental communicators.  Knowing well what she was talking about, channeler Jane Roberts observed in a 1975 book: "I don't believe in good and bad spirits, demons, possession, or the power of evil as they're generally described in Christian thought, Spiritualism, Gnosticism, or any other 'ism' for that matter.  I'm also appalled that some 'psychic' investigators without a qualm speak of mischievous spirits who impersonate the 'godly dead,' move the Ouija board pointer, wield the pen for automatic writers, or just wait to waylay the unsuspecting living in whatever way they can . . . While my own experiences are relatively unusual, they are different only in quality and degree.  Each man and woman sometimes senses a greater self within, is struck by inspiration, or startled by a dream or premonition that 'comes true.'  Many others have startling psychic experiences . . . ."

I wish for every living organism the best experience of life possible.  And so too for God.  Once comprehended, the personal relationship with the God Force can never be forgotten.  It is a predicament that has nothing to do with belief or theory.

After completing the first draft of this post on Tuesday May 12th at around noon I suddenly heard a song reverberating outside coming from one of my neighbors' rooms.  I immediately recognized the song although it was one I'd completely forgotten about.  It was such a surprising and wonderful thing to hear again considering I'd recently been reflecting about the meaning of 'Love.'  The original version of the song performed by The Platters was released in 1955 before I was born with many popular versions made during later decades.  As with every creative human expression, there is a Source of Inspiration finding expression and hopefully the Source of All Life is experiencing Love as well through each individual unit of physical expression.  Hearing the song was a memorable moment for me this past week and sharing the experience is intended to remind readers that optimism is important.  Love is relevant.  Learning, helping others, sharing data is a source of fulfillment and an essential purpose of the human being in expressing Love in return to the Source.  A 2012 interview with 'channeled entity' 'Paul' through Ray Brown is also presented to provide one example of how life and love is known in the ascended realm of existence.
