I recently retired from the military and began following New Age teachings. I was drawn to your work through my wife’s copy of the Sedona Journal of Emergence!

During my time in the military, I often saved others from burning vehicles, war zones, and so on. At first, I thought I just brought bad luck on myself, but on reflection, the people I saved often told me that they saw an angel around me as I helped them. I also have a tattoo of an angel wing on my arm, but I never quite understood what the deeper meaning might be. Can you offer any insight?

Dear Ben: First of all, I want to thank you for your brave heart and soul. In your records, I find that you are connected to the realm of angels and, in particular, the legion connected to the energy of Archangel Michael.
