Are These Things Called Orbs?

Ranked #10,052 in Culture & Society, #203,372 overall

I didn't even really know what an orb was!

Recently, my husband and I attended a local Intender's Circle meeting. It was held at the Hasayampa Canine Resort and Spa, which is owned by a couple from our church, and it has a lovely central area large enough for meetings such as ours.

This was our first time at the Intender's Circle, and neither of us really knew what to expect. We did know that it was loosely based on the Law of Attraction, and that we could expect to give and receive support for the things that we and others wished to manifest in our lives.

Intenders Meeting

As Usual

We really did enjoy our first Intenders Circle meeting. It was truly a wonderful experience with a lot of like minded people. The meeting consisted of prayer, food, meditation, toning, voicing our intentions, and praise and support for the intentions of others. I was truly moved and will make it my habit to return for more.

Toward the end of the meeting, my friend Marcia, pulled out her camera and started taking photos around the room. Both Mark and I thought this was a bit unusual, as she wasn't taking OUR pictures, but aiming her camera above our heads. After taking about a dozen pictures, she passed the camera around the room. The photo above is what we saw. If you look in the frame below, you will see the tops of our heads (me on the right and Mark between the two paintings).

What are these things, anyway?

As if anyone could REALLY tell me!

Fascinated, I decided to do a little research on orbs. If you've looked into it at all, you can see that it is a field of not a little controversy, with many camps therein. From paranormal phenomena, to dust particles, to spirit guides, to ghosts, to UFO's. All sides present convincing arguments to tantalize the intellect. And, after many hours of reading, I am more confused than when I started.

I did, however, take a closer look at the photo that Jim sent to me. I zoomed in on the orb directly above my husband's head. It looks like a face! (see below) Now, what does that mean? That face looks nothing like anyone in the room. Now, I am even more befuddled than I was before!

And, Who is That Person?

See... In the Orb?

My Conclusion

For Now, At Least

Personally, I kind of like the spirit guide idea! It delights me to think I have guardian angels following me around and attending meetings with me!

If I think of something better, I'll be sure to share!

What fun!

    Just wanted you to know that I'm featuring this lens on my orb pictures lens. Its a special interest kind of lens, out of the box, and this should do real good in the ratings. I hope you have worked on your tags words and keywords, Google AdWords is a good one to see about search words and phrases. Once again I hope this lens does well and it should get some traffic from my lens, anyway...I hope it does. --- I could see a face in that big orb pictures.

Join best-selling authors Esther and Jerry Hicks for this
captivating all-day workshop where they will give you all the tools you need to
attract whatever you want in your life-all through the inspiring, heart-warming,
stirring, thought-provoking and life-changing wisdom of Abraham!



More than 20 years ago, Esther and Jerry tapped in to an interdimensional voice
that answered life's most perplexing questions. And for more than 20 years,
they've taken this message-The Law of Attraction-to all corners of the world to
anyone who was asking.



Now, Hay House is proud to host Esther and Jerry Hicks in this all-new Law of
Attraction workshop where you will not only learn how to manifest all your
desires so that you're living the joyous and fulfilling life you deserve, but
you will also witness Abraham-a group of non-physical evolved teachers, who
speak to our level of comprehension through the voice of Esther.




See Abraham in action onstage as they offer their infinite wisdom on how you can
utilize the Law of Attraction in your own life and learn to deliberately create
for yourself anything that you want to do, be, or have. And the best
news-there's no magic, no gimmicks, and no secret about it. It's yours just for

  • See yourself as a magnet attracting unto you the essence of whatever
    you are thinking.

  • Use the power of your emotions to deliberately bring into your life
    only the things you want.

  • Rediscover the Art of Allowing your natural well-being and learn to
    become a joyous, deliberate creator.

  • Allow your feelings to be your guide as you discover the hidden
    value behind your emotional reactions.

  • Open the door to financial prosperity as you focus on the abundance
    that is possible in your life.
  • And MORE!


There are no such things as "bad breaks" or "unlucky days" when you
live the Law of Attraction and become the conscious creator of your own
experience!




Find out everything you need to know about life and how to make it work
and how all things, wanted and unwanted, are brought to you by this most
powerful law of the Universe. Spend the day with Esther, Jerry and
Abraham for this astounding and awe-inspiring workshop that will guide
you to all you desire.




In this intimate setting, some participants may be chosen by
Abraham to ask their personal question!
