Well, thank you both very much for your help, but looking more around this board I can see now that this place isn't really my sort of thing. Maybe it's the way I was brought up, but all this talk about meditation, etc. is not the kind of thing I feel comfortable with. I accept that the 11:11 phenomena is true, but I still feel frustrated at the lack of communication. I've asked these angels on many occasions if they could talk to me but I still haven't had anything beyond "Don't be afraid. You're chosen". The couple of times I've tried meditation have left me feel very shaken and it's not something I feel comfortable doing (which probably comes as a surprise to you). I don't mind seeing 11:11 everywhere and it's nice to know that the angels have "chosen" me. (Since my last post I've seen 16:16 and 17:17 both times I looked at the clock!) I'm a Christian, yes, and I believe in God, angels, demons, heaven and hell, but probably more in the traditional, William Blake sense. I like to think that angels have feathery wings and sit on clouds rather than being all New-Agey.

But you must understand I amn't trying to insult anyone here, I understand you have your beliefs, but I just think it's possible to talk to the "Midwayers" and the angels without the use of meditation, crystals and incense. John Dee is a good example, he conversed with angels using mirrors, Hermetic philosophy and occult science. (As it happens his birthday is 5 days before mine.) Then again that makes me sound like a scientific, rational person...I'm quite the opposite and I detest science, but I prefer Dr Dee's methods. If I do ever think about the spirit world, I tend to take a more Victorian, superstitious, old-fashioned attitude, thinking on paraffin lamps and the "Brown Lady" photograph.
But maybe I wasn't really "chosen", and it could just be my imagination. I can't see auras, I can't predict the future, I can't read minds or bend spoons, I can't sense the presence of spirits or ghosts. I suppose I'm just an ordinary teenager. I don't feel aglow with psychic energy like Danny in The Shining, I don't (oh gosh, just looked at the clock and it read 18:18
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
) feel like I should've been chosen, or that I'm an indigo child. I feel almost as if I've been invited to the wrong party! As a person I'm very artistic, I have a very creative mind, people have told me I'm very intelligent for my age and I like to think I perceive the world in a different way to most others. But if I
have been "chosen", and if these angels do want to speak to me, then why haven't they? What do they want from me? And this is my other big point: are you sure that meditation and et cetera is the
only way to talk to these beings? There must be other methods, and yet it all seems very same-old same-old. I'm not convinced that inspirational poems, prayers and crystals are the only way to communicate with Them. And I still find myself attracted to mirrors and the number 11 in a way I can't fathom. Maybe the angels choose an occasional few who aren't very spiritually inclined. But I must have a spiritual part of me, because I had the two experiences with the angels. I came here to find answers, but I realise now that no one will ever know the
true meaning of 11:11.
But please don't take any of this in offence, I'd be devastated if you thought I was trying to shun your way of thinking. On the contrary, I find the beliefs here very fascinating indeed, and yet it's something I'd never really want to get involved in myself. And, ClrVoyant1, I do believe what you said about the angels guiding us, and sometimes I do feel that I'm not alone, so I thank you for that advice.
