What Do You Wish For?

Do you believe that wishes can come true? We all have a list of things we desire in our lives. After reading for an avalanche of people who signed up for my 15-minute free angel reading, I witnessed a whole gamut of wishes from a new relationship, to getting a new job and getting out of debt, to wanting to know a life’s purpose to how to grow spiritually.

It has been such a joy for me to meet so many people from all over the world–Africa, India, Ireland, Canada, and all across the U.S. They say “Be careful what you wish for,” and that is certainly true and is why I’m writing this blog. I wished to bring the wisdom of Raphael to more people.  From being the receiver of all that wisdom, I have learned how to make my wishes come true.

This web page is an example of how my wishes come true. I wished for a way to bring Raphael’s wisdom to more people. Then  Michelle Kulp walked into my life–and made what seemed like an impossibly big wish come true. Within a ten months we set up a web page and created “Free Angel Readings” as an invitation to join my web page. The flood of requests is amazing.

But it didn’t happen in a snap. I had to follow the divine guidance step by step as it was given. I took Michelle’s “On-Line Course” and then her “Blogging for Profit” class and overloaded my brain. Then I switched from Pay Pal to a bank card payment and was forced to stuff a whole bunch more tech stuff into my bulging brain–but I did it. And I am so pleased that my wishes have come true.

Make a List!

In so many of my readings, Raphael has suggested that first people make a list of all the things they NO LONGER WANT TO EXPERIENCE: i.e., poverty; loneliness; confrontations; illness; etc. The first thing on my NO-NO! list was: “I no longer wish to shovel snow ever again.” Well, I moved from MI to FL for a while, but then moved here to MD after my MI house sold–and ran smack into SNOW!  But, after what people here called a “bad winter”, I was looking at MI and smiling. But I never shoveled snow all winter. After the first big snowfall, two young men materialized at my front door, asking if they could shovel my drive and sidewalk–for a reasonable price. They have been my helpers ever since.

So, then you take that list of what you no longer wish to experience and write your list of WHAT YOU WISH TO EXPERIENCE. See if you can write a hundred things!

Make Your Wishes Come True

Again, from all these free readings, I have learn a lot about making wishes come true. There are certain things we must learn to do until they become automatic. It’s like retraining our brains and our emotional reactions to life.  The first is to put a guard on your thoughts and weed out those that are negative–“Oh, I don’t have time to do that!” or “Oh, I don’t have money for that!” or “I’m not smart enough, or pretty enough or…” Weed them out of your mind’s garden and start planting flowers of affirmation like: “If I’ve been given the idea, then God will send me step-by-step inspirations in how to make it happen. Then step back and let it all go.

Anxiety, worry and doubt are killers of wishes.

So, all you skeptics and cynics out there will scoff at all of this. But I can tell you that in my 80 years upon this planet, I have made all my wishes come true. So,from someone who knows. start making your Christmas Wish List right now and before you know it that Great Wish-maker–God–or Santa Clause or whomever wraps your gifts–will get ready to deliver all your wishes.

Turn Your Troubles (Lead) into the GOLD of Your Desires

Raphael and I get a lot of calls asking us when the person will find their true love, or win the lottery, or find a new job. In a simple incident this morning, I realized one big ingredient for manifesting our desires–overcome anxiety and doubt–the lead a spiritual alchemist uses to turn into the gold of ones desires.

We all desire to have good things happen. What we don’t know is: our doubts and anxieties are the lead through which many of our life experiences fail to turn into gold. To become a Spiritual Alchemist, you need to learn to pay attention to your emotions first–and second, how your mind reacts to them.

An example: After gardening, I needed to get rid of a lot of debris–old sod, branches, dead leaves, etc. I had to learn the “rules of the game” for my city of Bowie, MD, to know what they would take and how to contain it. My first attempt was left on the curb untouched. I hadn’t cut up the branches small enough or wrapped them up with rope. The second attempt went better when I put stuff in paper bags, but I worried they wouldn’t accept them because they were too heavy. I worried they wouldn’t accept the one plastic bag because we ran out of the paper ones. And today, it started to rain! Oh! Lord! The anxiety level rose through the top of my head. What if the bags disintegrated? What if I have this big muddy mess left at my curb?

When I heard the truck, I slipped on shoes and dashed out the door to talk with the men in charge. They firmly let me know they did NOT take plastic bags. I told them how I was learning what they did take and how I’d run out of the paper bags. They said they’d take it this once and proceeded to empty the branches into the truck–not an easy chore because they caught in the plastic. But the men went the extra mile and did it.

And I was successful in overcoming my anxieties and fears and project instead the happy empty space at my curb!

Too often we project anxiety, worry and doubt into our future world’s reality, manifesting what we do not want instead of what we do want. Our emotions play a large role in how we create prosperity and abundance. We hear those words but wonder just how in the world do we make it happen. Well–there are some key things to remember:

1) Know what you want to create. Look for your resistance to it–your doubts that it can happen–your anxiety that it won’t be as you desire.

2) Focus clearly on the END RESULTS of what you desire–not how to get there. Divine inspiration will lead you step by step–if you really listen. For example, one woman wanted to bring in more income. She was inspired to decorate her cell phone. It was sparkly and amazing. When people asked her where she got it, she smiled and admitted she’d made it. They asked her to make one for them. But she refused as it took a whole lot of work–and of course, her friends wanted it for free. Right? Well, here was an opportunity to make extra money, and she missed it. (Well, maybe not because when she came to Raphael for a reading, he suggested she could make a lot of extra income from a “cottage industry” right at home!)

3) Visualization is a key part of manifesting your desires. Hold positive, happy pictures in your mind of how you would feel when your desire is made real. See yourself jumping up and giving someone a “High Five.”

4) Constant diligence in swatting away the doubts and anxieties like pesky flies trying to keep you from your desires.

Having your lawn debris picked up may seem like a trivial thing to you, but it is part of the stuff of everyday life.  Part of the OPPORTUNITY to practice using the divine energy–freely given–to mold into whatever you desire. These exercises in manifestation are the key reasons for our soul taking on a physical body–to learn to manifest matter within physical dimensions. We are like an apprentice under the Master Creator–God. We get to practice daily in overcoming challenges and turning them into gold, like the alchemists of old.

Let us hear from you in your experiences in turning the lead of anxiety in your stomach– into the gold of happy endings!

Call us–Raphael and me–if you need our help in overcoming those hurdles of life to turn them into gold. 301-262-5640. We can set up an appointment to talk. Go to “Services” to select the amount of time you wish.

Happy manifesting!

Betty Rae and Raphael

Ask An Angel

People are always searching for that perfect mate–their soul mate. Unfortunately, too often we begin with the last things first–their physical appearance. There is a whole lot more to it than that!

Donna wrote: I am having a difficult time trying to decide between two men I care about! Just need a little advice.

Many readers may say, “I should have your problem!”

Raphael says that there are four legs of compatibility upon which a relationship can stand: 1) a soul connection; 2) intellectual compatibility; 3) no emotional baggage; and 4) (and the last to be considered!) physical attraction.

Can you speak freely about your beliefs and spiritual goals? Are you both interested in the same kind of books, or at least in reading books? Do you enjoy a good discussion or is it one-sided–you listen; he talks? Is he free of emotional baggage or are there strings attached to his heart?

And lastly, are you physically attracted? Too often the last is tested first–in the physical package and then  in the bedroom, which puts a commitment of intimacy on the relationship before the other three legs have even been explored, causing a wobbly, unstable relationship.

Use these measuring sticks for your two men and see which one rises to the top. Ask the archangels to help you choose the one who will be a helpmate for your highest good as part of the divine plan for your life. Then, gently and kindly release the other person. We encourage you to let go of fear and doubt and trust in the divine love and guidance that is always ready to come to you.

Blessings,

Betty Rae and Raphael

Ask An Angel

The various lotteries suck people into a false hope that some miracle will sweep them out of debt and into abundance and prosperity. What are the odds of that happening? A disappointing 1%. But still people with ask Raphael…

Kathleen wrote: “Will I soon hit the lottery and get the money to get out of debt–finally?

Dear Kathleen,

Unfortunately, God did not create your soul and send it into your physical body for the purpose of winning the lottery! You were divinely created to learn how to manifest all your needs and desires–and you have done that! When you look around at what you have created–whatever has led you into debt, you need to say, “Gee! Look what I have created!” For, indeed, this moment in time is part of the divine plan for your soul’s story. If you do not like what you see, change your mind–and change your story. When you let go of fear and doubt and create with love and trust and joy, you will be inspired with solutions to your financial problems. Those solutions do not include a rich man to take care of you. Only YOU can take care of YOU! Instead, a new job will open up, or an opportunity to participate in some money-making venture. Use your playful imagination–see yourself dancing on a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Hold on to that vision with laughter and joy. The ideas will pour into your awareness of how to get out of debt “finally!”

Blessings to you in abundance!

Ask An Angel

Dear Friends,

My new site, “Ask an Angel” has been very busy. Some of the questions are related and need to be shared with all of you.

Many questions relate to the future like, “Will I marry?” Or “What will happen to Sarah?” But one question, which I will include today was: “What will the next five years be like financially?”

Raphael’s answer was more than the person expected, I’m sure!

Raphael said:

Dear Soul, we must clarify two things: first, the purpose of angels; and second, the purpose of souls.

The Source of all energy, peace, harmony, love, and joy is called God in many different languages. We call IT the Creator of All That Is. When God created angels, they were given certain tasks to fulfill. Some were created to be a guardian or guide for souls who put on the physical body to express the Creator’s divine energy within physical matter. These angels are the facilitators of the soul’s plan for the life, bringing people with which the soul will interact and gain new experiences and from which the soul will gain wisdom in the art of manifestation.

Other angels, like ourselves called Archangels, are given charge of large groups of souls and angels to guide, inspire, uplift and aid on the soul’s journey through the physical experience. No angel can interfere with the choices an ensouled being makes. Only if asked can a guardian or guide send inspiration, advice, and so forth. They may “rescue” a physical being from death if it is not the time the soul has determined for the final exit off the highway of planet Earth. Many so-called, “Near Death Experiences” were part of the divine plan to create an epiphany or a turning point for the human to experience.

Angels do not wear wings or any human garment unless manifesting for the human’s comfort or belief system. They are simply a thought-form from the Source. They are non-physical beings of light. Throughout all time in your history of Earth, these thought forms have appeared to humankind to bring messages from the Source.

The Source creates souls for the purpose of using the God-Energy to mold and manifest physical matter upon physical planets within many universes. A God-thought begins with an idea that enters the intellectual body. The human then sends that thought to its emotional center, which judges it as “good” “bad” or “neutral” and sends it to the heart center where it will quicken like a fetus in a womb and begin forming into physical matter—or die like a still-born child.

Each thought, word, and deed that comes from your mind, heart and soul are the ingredients with which you will either manifest prosperity and abundance or lack. If you send forth fear and doubt and anxiety in your ability to create the financial security you desire, you will create unpaid bills, debt, and the frustration of your “prayers” never being answered.

And so, dear soul, what do you choose to create in the next five years? It is entirely up to you. Your future is a vibrating hologram of desires that can be overshadowed by fear of being incapable of acquiring your physical desires. If this is so, financial lack is what you shall create—for you are given the divine energy like modeling clay to shape in any form your mind and heart agree upon.

We encourage you to go into meditation and be still, asking your angels and guides to inspire you as how to manifest prosperity and abundance for the next five years. Write down the ideas that pop into your mind. Listen for negative thoughts that try to bring static to the wave-lengths of angel energy. You need a calm spirit and mind to hear the unspoken messages.

Blessings!

A client shared her dream with me this morning, and the information she was given was thrilling. That made me realize what a need there is for everyone to learn to remember, capture, and interpret their dreams. They are like letters from your guardian angels. You can choose to open them and reap the joy they send, or you can choose to leave them closed and toss them in the waste basket like spam.

Now, what if you were to send me your dream and I helped you–not outright interpreted it–but helped you find the gems of wisdom in them as I did today. What a joy it would give me to see your light bulb of understanding turn on.

I spent seven years studying my dreams and how to interpret them. This was before I even knew about Raphael working with me, but one nightmare changed all that. I dreamed I was in an attic bending a bit because of a slanted wall beside an open stairway. Suddenly from the dark recesses of the attic a large cat-sized rat rushed at me. I grabbed a stick and thrust at it, but it kept coming. I kept shoving the stick to keep it away, but it barred its teeth and kept coming. Finally, I shoved the stick into the rat’s eye and stopped it. I dashed down those stairs to find myself in a large empty car showroom. I kept yelling, “Get out! Get out!”

End of dream.

I tried using a technique I learned from Dusty Bunker in “Dream Cycles.” She said to script our dreams after writing them down exactly as we experienced them in the present tense.

So, I wrote,

“Betty Rae: Rat why are you in my dream? You frightened me.”

“Rat: I represent your fears and they are frightening you.”

“Betty Rae: But why did I shove the stick in your eye. Ewee.”

“Rat: The eye represents your perspective on life. Change that and you lose your fears.”

I mused on that for a bit and then wrote,

“Betty Rae: But why did I find myself in a showroom yelling, “Get out! Get out!”

“Rat: You will be asked to showcase your dreams and “get them out” for others to learn how to interpret their dreams.”

And that has been the truth for many years now. But at that time, as I studied what I had typed into my computer, I realized that profound wisdom had not come from me. Someone else much wiser spoke to me. That was before I realized Raphael was working with me on such a personal level as to help me interpret my dreams and later the dreams of many people.

And so, dear friends–get out your dreams and send them to me. I will be happy to help you interpret them. Write the dream in the space below. I will answer it in my next blog.

Blessings,

Betty Rae

Dear Friends,

Although today is cloudy, I am filled with sunshine.

Why?

I flew with Angels last night.

How do I know that?

I awoke smiling and filled with energy, ready to tackle any and all with vim and vigor and enthusiasm. My spirit is renewed. I am joyful.

May you also fly with angels throughout your nights so that you may be lifted up to spread your light and love throughout your world.

Love, peace, joy!

Betty Rae

Dear Friends,

How many times have those words CHANGE OF PLANS! been like neon lights across your forehead?

The most constant thing in life is CHANGE, yet most of us cringe when it happens. Just when you think you have it all figured out, BAM! Change of plans. Do you ever wonder if some mischievous imp sets you up to anticipate something, and then either rains on your parade–literally, or something unexpected happens. I journal everyday, and I cannot count how many times I write about something I am going to do–but when I go back to the journal–it didn’t happen–something changed.

Perhaps when we make plans we set ourselves up for disappointment–as in anticipation or expectations of life going the way we PLAN it–

What would happen if we didn’t plan anything? CHAOS! That’s what.

So? What’s the solution? Tackle it from the other end–let go of expectations or excited anticipation of a hoped-for outcome. How many stories, books, movies are about a woman expecting a ring and proposal of marriage, only to be disappointed? Raphael has always said that “Expectations are the death of relationships.” When a couple puts expectations of certain chores to be done by the other–and they are not, anger or at least irritation can be the result. Pile a whole bunch of little, tiny disappointments and irritations one upon the other, and it can boil up into a volcanic reaction of anger that taken out of context can be confusing and irritating to the partner.

“Never let the sun go down on your anger,” is a wise saying. Those hoped-for results of our plans become disappointments that can simmer with deep-in-the-gut anger. But we ignore them. We think those little, tiny irritations just don’t seem worth bringing up. After all, we can rationalize the “why” and the “wherefore” and we choose to “forget about it.”

Trouble is, our gut emotions do not forget. Our emotions are not attached to our intellect. They can fester even the smallest wrong until it becomes a big WRONG.  When you recognize that gut reaction , CHANGE your mind. Take slow deep breaths all the way down to that gut feeling and imagine you have a broom to sweep all that hurt and anger out of your body and out of your heart–but not out of your mind for only by changing your mind by saying affirmations of release, of love and acceptance can you open your mind, heart and soul to trust CHANGE as the divine plan unfolding in your life. TRUST each change as an opportunity for you to lift your mind and heart out of fear and doubt and into love and trust in God–the Source of all that is.

TRUST is the antithesis to CHANGE. When your plans change, create a habit of seeking to find the good in that change and in all that happens in your life. Lift your consciousness our of disappointment, anger, and resentment and begin to see the divine plan unfolding for your greatest good. Know you are always divinely guided, that angels surround you and protect you, that the Source is only love, peace, harmony, and joy.

May the Peace and Love of God always be with you.

Betty Rae

Sometimes it’s hard to be good.

Sometimes life weighs heavily upon the shoulders.

Sometimes it’s easier to look down than up.

Sometimes I forget to smile.

But when I do—the sun comes out.

I honestly do not know where the above came from. I’m not depressed or bored or unhappy at all, but the words tumbled through when I wrote in my daily journal this morning. Then I think of the many people who come to me for Raphael’s words of encouragement, for inspiration, for something to hold on to when they are lost in that dark space called depression. It is my understanding that way too many people suffer from depression. And so, perhaps today these words came to me to share with you, my friend, for the times when the sun hides behind the heavy dark clouds of your life.

Then it’s time to create your DEPRESSION BUSTERS! Take several 3″ x 5″ cards and cut them in half. Then write at least 50 silly, happy things to do. The idea is to quit thinking and get moving, to do something happy for yourself or for another, to make yourself laugh because when you’re laughing you cannot be blue. Below are a few examples.

1) “STAND UP! TURN AROUND! SIT BACK DOWN!”

2) “Go for a walk in nature.”

3) “Hug a tree.”

4) “Buy a bouquet of flowers.”

5)”Call an “Up” friend.” But do not unload your troubles. Do not speak of your troubles to another. Speak only peaceful, happy words.

6) “Write out a funny joke.” Buy a joke book and write out several on your “Depression Busters Cards.”

7) “Hop from here to the bathroom” (but not if your bladder is too full!)

8) “Clean out a closet or a drawer or the garage!” Or vacuum with forceful strokes and imagine you are sweeping up all your troubles and watching them disappear.

9) “Create a positive, uplifting mantra”–positive uplifting words to say over and over–“I am filled with inner peace.” Or “All my needs are met this day and every day of my life.” Or “Only good can come to me and only good can be with me.” Write out several uplifting affirmations for your “Depression Busters.”

10) “Write a letter to yourself.” Go ahead– spew out all your frustrations, anger and sadness. Then find a metal bowl to set it on fire and watch it burn.

 I think you get the idea. When you feel your energy draining, look around you and see what might have upset you, or might be the cause of your lowered energy. Did someone say something to hurt your feelings? When your energy lowers, so does your consciousness. A lowered consciousness cannot see the hand of God in the situation. Begin taking long, slow deep abdominal breaths and picture yourself surround by angelic beings of light. Feel the unconditional love flowing in and around and through you. Know you are a divine being who is temporarily wearing the human body-costume to act out your part on Earth’s stage.  Know that the other actors on your stage are doing their best to play the role your soul needs to experience this moment in time. Become the star of your stage show by rising above all the petty stuff, all the challenges and stride forth as the hero in your play, saving yourself and others from the dangers of a lowered consciousness and the dark pit of depression. Be a light unto the world. Show them you can shine even in the worst rainstorms of your life.

Remember, I love you, sweet friend. I am hear to listen, to encourage  and to uplift you with my guide, Raphael. Call me. 301-262-5640. Or e-mail (raebetty@rocketmail.com.)  Ask me a question and Raphael and I will do our best to answer it, or at least to give you a shot of JOY.

Peace, love and joy,

Betty Rae
