My wife likely went to the store today and brought me back a paperback book called "Angels and Miracles" by Amy Newmark.
I read the first episode which is about an accident in a car she almost didn't survive. I would like to quote that for you here because I think it is a good illustration of why The problem with Linear Thinking is an issue for most people. Even spiritual or religious people need help sometimes "From angels" just to survive everyone else out there not paying attention.
Chapter 1 "My First Responder"
I was driving home from an audition to sing as church cantor in a local Catholic church. The audition went very well and they had hired me on the spot. I felt blessed.
It wasn't far to the highway that would take me home. I had a green arrow indicating that I could make a left turn, so I turned toward the entrance ramp. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, a speeding suburban blew through the red light and plowed into my little Neon. I saw it coming and there was nothing I could do.
Glass shattered around me, the airbags deployed and something heavy pushed against my legs. It was the cars engine. To make matters worse, the engine was in flames. I frantically tried my door, only to find it completely caved in. I couldn't budge it. I'm pretty sure I was screaming by then.
The police came quite quickly and one officer put out the flames with a fire extinguisher. The car was still smoldering under the crushed hood, and I could smell gasoline.
When the firefighters and rescue team finally arrived, they couldn't get the door open either. Flames began spreading out from under the hood again. I was crying now as the firemen scrambled to get something to cut me out. I could see on their faces things looked rather grim. I kept calling for someone to help me. The adrenaline had started to wear off and I was almost certain my left ankle was broken.
A man suddenly appeared at the side of my car. I remember he was very handsome and had a comforting smile. He said, "I've Got you sweetheart. Hang on."
Before I knew it, he had opened the door effortlessly and helped me out of the burning wreck. Then he let me lean against him and he guided me to the side of the road, out of harms way. The front end of my car was engulfed in flames by then. The firemen rushed over with a foam spray to put out the fire, frantic to rescue me from where I was stuck-- except I wasn't there anymore.
One of the firefighters walkeover to where I was sitting. The man who helped me had disappeared so I assumed he had gone back to his own vehicle.
I asked the firefighter if he could thank the man for me.HE shook his head, and said, "Lady there was no man. We went for the jaws of life to get you out of the car only to find you sitting on the curb. Lady, we couldn't open that door. it's so damaged, the only way to free you was to cut you out.
I knew I had seen him. That man helped me walk to the curb. I couldn't have done it myself because I couldn't even put any weight on my injured foot. I argued with the firefighter: The man who had saved me had been there. I held onto him. He was real. I felt him guiding me out of the car and across the road. I leaned on him when I could not walk.---------

There is another page or so to this story but the most important parts have been told. Multiply this by thousands to million or more and these are the things happening all the time around the world where people are saved by a miracle.
Was this a hallucination by the woman as she opened the door by herself?
Was this an angel saving her?
What really happened?
Here's the thing. Unless you are open to the possibility of an Angel or something saving you, how can you be saved?
You have to be open to being saved at some point in your life. I have been saved much like this over and over again throughout my life to the point where this kind of thing is normal for me.
When I was younger I wondered why God spent so much time saving me over and over again.
Now I know there aren't many people like me on earth and there are millions and billions who need to hear our stories of how God or Buddha or Angels or all three saved them over and over again.
So, if you are not open to miracles saving you in your life how can your life be saved when necessary?
By God's Grace
For me, I have no doubt at all about this story because it so closely resembles so many events in my own life along the way.
Blessings
