Liane, So if you are reading this and something immediately resonates

clearly with you...what does that mean. In other words, in what way

are you connected to that?

Hello , We are actually Angels having human experiences at this present time on Earth. It may be a daring idea, but it is the pure truth. I thought for the longest time that Angles could not incarnate , but the more I emerge myself on the Kaballah studies, I saw that this is usually the truth. There are many of different realms or choirs that we Angelic Humans are dwelling . The basic difference between us and the Regular human being is that we all came already with the 12 strand DNA, but with three of them already activated a opposed to a pure Human being that came with the original 12, but just two activated. That was is the reason we talk about the dormant potential on our brains, most just use 5%, but the rest is not junk, it is just potential to expansion. I will in time post some texts that were part of many of my personal experience and workshops I have done along my path. Those are not regular teachings, but if you feel this would resonate, I am here assisted by many that know the in and outs of ascension path. We were created to be guardians of the Compassionate Flame of the heart of God, and we are here to help, assist and comfort each other during this transition.I hope I answered this question.
