 <\/p>\n

A few weeks ago I was leading a retreat for a group of people who were looking to manifest major life changes. For five days, we gathered together to share our dreams and desires,\u00a0as well as \u00a0support each other in seeing them to fruition. At the end of one the evening modules, we were all feeling pretty elated and I would daresay ‘God Intoxicated’; filled with the spirit of Love. One of the participants took a photo of some of the group. This is what emerged. Keep in mind that there were no colorful lights in the room. The Christmas tree was beautifully decorated with white lights. The walls were bedecked with silver. The same camera took pictures before and after this one without the circular objects commonly referred to as ‘orbs’. I have seen them in other photos over the years but have never been surrounded by them in this way. As I look at this picture, it is as if Spirit was laughing with us, feeling every bit as silly as we all were. This picture was sent to\u00a0Gene Ang\u00a0who\u00a0 teaches on the subject since they began showing up in digital photos worldwide. His response was that they were “off the charts”.<\/p>\n

Dr. Klaus Heinemann\u00a0 and\u00a0 Dr. M\u00edce\u00e1l Ledwith\u00a0 are experts in the field as well and in\u00a0their book The Orb Project they describe:<\/p>\n

After literally stumbling into orbs appearing as bright as light bulbs in photographs he was taking at a spiritual retreat, Dr. Klaus Heinemann immediately sensed that he was onto something profound. There was no choice but to convince himself that his notion was on solid grounds. Heinemann looked at thousands of pictures he had taken earlier, and thousands more would be taken to test the hypothesis that these light circles are nothing less than emanations from Spirit beings.<\/p>\n

Dr. M\u00edce\u00e1l Ledwith had a similar experience after the orb phenomenon was first made known to him through the teachings of Ramtha. He began an intense and systematic study of orbs in all sort of situations, day and night, and in all sorts of atmospheric conditions, in order to discover all he could about their nature, the situations in which their presence could be most easily detected, and what implications they might have for our understanding of our own place in the cosmos. To date, he has amassed a collection of well over 100,000 images.<\/p>\n

This image was taken outside at Grail Springs as my friends Shayne Traviss and Ondreah Johnson\u00a0 and I were strolling through the soft white fluffy stuff. Just like the previous image, the ones before and after this shot were orb free.<\/p>\n

As I enlarged the rainbow hued photo, I could actually see little faces that looked as if they were having just as good a time as we all were and even now, weeks later, I have this sense of delight as if whoever it was that was joining in the party on that snowy winter’s night, is still with me and all of those who were in that room.<\/p>\n
