Hildegard von Bingen was called the Sibyl of the Rhine and claimed to have seen angels as a child. Read her poems or listen to her sacred monophonies and you'll be convinced!
I'm inclined to believe that angels do exist - angels and other beings in worlds beyond ours. I have seen people talking to them - very sane and intelligent people who seem to have developed a level of awareness that goes way beyond factual reality. Of course some poets live constantly in this other realm and frequently bring back little unusual fragments from it. I absolutely love the little gem below and the idea that we already existed in another form in the mind of our creator, before we were actually created.
'You appeared as a luminous white Lily,
as God imagined You before Creation,
requiring Creation.’
—Hildegard von Bingen, “Ave, generosa” translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
I love Hilde and her girls, all dressed up in beautiful gowns and veils, stunning beauties, a natural force to reckon with, renegade Benedictine Nuns, singing, embroidering and having various holy visions and hearing holy voices, causing holy trouble and holy treasures!
I love the OSB, my favorite monks excuse me for saying “bad ass monks” are the Glenstal Abbey in County Limerick, Ireland. Equipped with a webcam in church, 24/7, holding prayer seven times daily, live on cam and recorded for my convenience. An organ, Gregorian chant, the whole nine yards with holy garb too, castle and boys academy. They pray for me and you and the whole world and everything that makes up reality.
Spectacular ceremony, (I’m a ceremony freak) Latin and English Mass, I grew up on the “stuff” there was this cruel nun that had it out for me. I survived and now I incorporate “everything” in my earth muffin aka pagan, and aboriginal, nature worshipping, spiritual journey, yea I own it and do “it” my way, I’m stubborn. Hildegard von Bingen, let’s go ladies!

Certain aspects of NDEs are hard to explain.
But what it all means, who knows?
The third line was my interpretation, not in the original.
The third line is just perfect.
Yes, and it may get God off the hook for creation! ;-)
At least he got one thing right.
But then ... there's the Donald putting his new Kingdom of Elites in place already! Makes one doubt a reasonable 'divine plan' for all.
Yes, what was the Good Lord thinking, when he made Trump?

I'm glad to make Hildegarde's poems about the Divine Feminine accessible to more readers.
I gave up on religion myself, but I still believe in angels, being married to one!
Lovely, angels rule!
