What if angels aren't merely winged beings from ancient text, but also living forces that shape your daily reality? Join me, Linton Bergsen, on the Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast in this thought-provoking exploration as you delve into the multi-dimensional nature of an angelic presence and how recognizing such forces might transform your life’s path. The concept of angels reveals itself in three distinct yet interconnected ways. First, through the personal dimension—those extraordinary individuals who lift you up when you fall, speak truth when you need guidance, and stand beside you through your darkest moments.
Have you taken inventory lately of these human angels versus the toxic individuals draining your energy? The correlation between your well-being and these relationships is not coincidence. Beyond the physical realm, angels manifest through spiritual intuition—those unexplained moments when something inside warns you not to cross that street seconds before a car speeds bye. These protective forces communicate through subtle nudges and unexplained interventions that not only defy rational explanation but also repeatedly prove their value.
Meanwhile, religious frameworks across traditions provide structured pathways to connect with angelic guidance through prayer, meditation, and worship, creating channels for wisdom that transcends your limited understanding.
The question "Are Angels Real?" demands a deeply personal answer that will profoundly shape your life's direction. By opening yourself to these positive influences—whether understood as supportive humans, intuitive guidance, or divine messengers—you access layers of protection and wisdom otherwise unavailable. Are you listening to angels who are trying to communicate with you right now?

Linton Bergsen (00:01):
Welcome to the Self-Realized Podcast with
Linton Bergsen, where you willshatter your limits.
I am not much into theself-help industry as much as
I'm into the self-realizedindividual, which is you, what
matters most to you, how you getthere and the obstacles that
may be in your way.
If you would like to be part ofthis podcast and part of that
(00:22):
discussion, I welcome you herewith an open heart, open mind
and open arms.
So, without further ado, let'sget on with the podcast.
Thank you for joining me onepisode number 98 of the
(00:52):
Self-Realized, Shatter yourLimits podcast and taking your
valuable time and energy toexplore today's topic, which is
Are Angels Real?
How Might They Influence YourLife?
I would suggest you can breakthis down into three categories
and we will explore them today.
Number one do you believe thatangels are real on a personal
(01:14):
level?
Do you believe they are real ona spiritual level, or do you
believe that they are real on areligious level?
On a personal level, thequestion I would suggest you ask
yourself is this what does theword angel mean to you and what
does it bring up in you when youuse it?
Indeed, if you use it.
(01:36):
In your personal life, you canlook at it from the perspective
of how many angels do you havein your life, and the opposite
of the angels in my opinionwould be how many devils do you
have in your life.
Sometimes we refer to thosepeople as toxic people.
You want to have more angels inyour life, good people making
(01:59):
great contributions to you andwhat you are about and who you
are and your life, and you don'twant toxic people which I would
call for want of a better termthe opposite of angels devils in
your life.
So, when you take an inventoryof how you personally would use
angels and devils in your life,it would be how many good people
(02:23):
do you have in your workenvironment, in your everyday
relationships, how many peopleare supporting you?
How many people are really,really watching out for you in
the darkest of times?
How many people stand by you?
How many people give you advicethat really is good for you,
(02:43):
whether you want to hear it ornot, because angels watch out
for you.
They pick you up, they spreadtheir wings around you to
protect you when things aren'tgoing so well, and isn't that,
if you just look at that as ametaphor, the type of people
that you want in your life.
Are angels real on a personallevel?
(03:05):
Well, yes, not only are theyreal, they are the biggest
influence in your life, in yourwork, your relationships and
your home in a positive way thatyou could possibly have on a
personal level, as the episodetitle suggests, Are Angels Real?
How They Might I nfluence YourLife?
(03:26):
If you contemplate on that fora moment, on a personal level,
there are so many differentareas that they influence you.
You have good people, angels,in your life.
They can influence how you feelabout yourself.
Your self-talk can changebecause they are giving you
(03:46):
positive affirmation andreinforcement about your life
and your goals and what it isyou're trying to accomplish.
They are not negative naysayers.
You don't want or need thosepeople in your life.
So, yes, on a personal level,having the right angels in your
life can have a tremendousinfluence and that is very real.
(04:10):
So my suggestion is you takeinventory of how many angels you
have in your life right now andhow many devils you have in
your life right now.
Make a list and review it ifyou'd like, and you're going to
find that when you take thatinventory, there is a direct
correlation about how you feelabout yourself, where your life
(04:34):
is going when you are aroundyour angels, and then how you
feel about yourself and whereyour life is going when you are
around the more toxic people,who I would call the devils in
your life, and you begin to workon increasing the angels on a
personal level and removing thedevils.
So there is a personalconnotation there that you can
(04:58):
use as looking at angels asproductive, meaningful
relationships in your life thatcontribute to you at the highest
level.
However, you need more thanjust people to help you be
successful in life, which movesme into category number two.
(05:19):
If you then looked at the termangels on a spiritual level, it
is the same thing happening, butin a slightly different way,
because angels influencing you,if you're talking about on a
spiritual level, are watchingover you and protecting you.
(05:40):
If you believe that spirituallyall of the time.
Which is beyond the humanaspect of angels in your life,
because they can only watch overyou and be there for you some
of the time, your spiritualangels communicate with you,
(06:02):
sometimes in the form ofintuition or simply the sense of
a presence of something notbeing quite right in situations
and circumstances that you maynot even have seen coming in
situations circumstances thatyou may feel that you have under
control, but then suddenly theyget out of control, are not
(06:25):
going the way you expected themto, and you get this completely
unexplainable spiritualintervention.
Something happens you weregoing across the street and all
of a sudden, you look to yourright and there was a car coming
and you pull back onto the curbjust at the right moment.
Now, what caused that to happen?
Was it coincidence?
(06:46):
Or or we could say, the angelswere looking out for you.
On a spiritual level, angelsare working in your life.
They are looking out for you,whether you understand it
intellectually or whether youunderstand it intuitively.
There's a force, there's aforce bigger than you working in
(07:06):
your life, and those are theangel forces, the good forces,
the forces that are working forand with you to be productive,
to help you in unseen ways, toguide you a lot of times through
intuition, towards the rightthings to do, towards
understanding what it is maycause conflict and problems in
(07:27):
your life, giving you thewarning signals of don't do that
, do this.
You may have had the experiencewhere something inside you told
you not to do something, butyou did it anyway and then paid
the price and thought toyourself if only I had listened
to myself.
That's a real angel voice orintuition whatever you want to
(07:48):
call it communicating with you.
Now, if you look at it from aspiritual level and you
spiritualize the question areangels real, how they might
influence your life?
The influence on a spirituallevel is that when you get
yourself in situations you don'tquite understand how to get out
of the angels in your life, theinner voice in your life is
(08:13):
very real.
You know it exists because ittalks to you.
You can call it angels, you cancall it intuition, call it
whatever you would like.
As long as you listen to it andit's beneficial, you can say
the angel voices are having abeneficial influence on my life.
If you embrace that as aconcept and an idea, then
(08:37):
obviously it becomes more validthat you listen to that voice,
because it's coming from a veryhigh energy source, from
different realms that you don'tunderstand, that are bigger than
yourself, but are in factlooking out for you.
That is what angels do and ifyou believe in the concept of
God and you believe that angelscan talk with and through God to
(09:01):
you, then you arespiritualizing the idea of
having angels in your life as anintuitive voice.
When we get involved in thethird category of this podcast
episode of, Are Angels Real?
How They Might Influence YourLife, it's a religious aspect
(09:24):
and, first of all, let me startout by saying it doesn't make
any difference if you'reChristian, if you're Muslim, if
you're Jewish.
It doesn't make any differenceat all what religion you choose
to affiliate yourself with,believe in and follow.
Ultimately, for me, religionbelieving in something bigger
(09:50):
than yourself, respecting thecreation, respecting people,
respecting that there is a forcethat you worship, whatever way
you choose to religiously meansthat you are allowing those
forces, through prayer, throughwhatever way you choose to
(10:12):
worship, to be part of your lifein a very intimate and
intricate way.
In prayer, in meditation, inbeing part of something
religiously.
It allows you to have access tofaith, guidance, understanding,
(10:34):
acknowledging that you are ableto have a relationship with
something more powerful than you, in turn, allows you to be
guided by whatever you choose tocall it angels, God.
You are opening the doorway,the gateway of light, love,
(11:01):
faith, all the aspects that arevery important to at least
beginning to answer the questionfor yourself are angels real?
How they might influence yourlife.
Religiously there are so manyinterpretations of angels and
(11:23):
how they affect your life andhow they can be part of your
life in different religions indifferent ways.
However you choose to worship,the main thing is, as I've
mentioned, that you choose toopen a door and a gateway that
allows a guidance, in whatevershape or form, to communicate
(11:48):
with you and help you throughyour life every day that is
making a real tangibledifference to your well-being
and how you feel, becausewithout something working with
and through you andacknowledging that, it is my
(12:10):
conviction, through my own lifeexperience that I will say to
you life becomes much harder onyour own.
Life becomes much harder whenthere isn't something that you
align yourself with to bring youa sense of peace, solace and
(12:30):
well-being.
It's unexplainable andunfathomable.
Look around you, but isn'teverything that is created
beyond our control unexplainable?
We're not able to, a lot oftimes, get our head around a lot
(12:50):
of the mysteries of this lifeand the creation that we all
live in.
But there is one thing that youcan begin to get your head
around and begin to make a realdifference in your life.
Answer this question sincerelyfor yourself are angels real and
(13:13):
how they might influence yourlife?
In today's episode, I hope I'vegiven you something to
contemplate upon in answeringthat question, and whatever
conclusion you come to know this, it's going to have a profound
effect on your life one way orthe other.
(13:37):
So contemplate carefully andthen answer the question.
It is a deeply personalquestion which requires from you
a deeply personal answer,because it is an intimate and
(13:58):
intricate relationship betweenyourself and that which created
you.
Whatever answer you come upwith obviously know this it's
going to affect profoundly theoutcome of your life.
(14:18):
Why?
Because what and who we chooseto be influenced by is going to
be a lot of the reasons that wemake, the choices that we do in
our lives.
Contemplate carefully, becausein this episode you are being
(14:44):
asked to make a choice.
You decide if angels are realand how they might influence
your life.
It is a very important choicein so many ways for the outcomes
in your life.
