Orbs and The Virgin Mary?

[GaryTaylor]

Lot of this on TV now with the Paranomal. Technology has advanced enough now to where fiction and supernatural evidence can be seperated though electronics. Problem is often what starts as one thing, turns out to be pure demonic.

Much is done out of entertainment also, no doubt lots of props also, however when you see Catholic Priests arriving and performing minor exorcisms. Theres a problem.

Best to not communicate with anything, do not give it attention thus life. Leave asap and if its your home seek advice from the Church. This is also what the Sacramentals of the Church are for and specific prayers. Supernatural Grace, for protection. All pretty Biblical actually. Sacrements of the church do the same thing in essense.

God doesn’t haunt buildings and scare people. Probly a good indicator somethings wrong.

My sister-in-law watchs all the paranoral TV.

Peace

Wow, that is amazing!!! What an experience. As you said, you don’t know what they were and I guess if anyone is to come across such things we should all be careful. Were they good or bad? Were they spirits, obviously you will never know.

These things…the mysterious, use to sort of annoy me. I wanted to know and understand why these things happened, this then lead me to the new age etc. I now know that I will never understand unusual happenings, but one day I will…when I am walking hand-in-hand with Jesus.

Now that I can’t wait for!

Just pray that you never become an Orb!!! Else you won’t have hands to hold HIS hands!!!

Here are some orbs I caught at Boy Scout camp this summer. The morning after this episode, I awoke congested, with heavy, black mucous in my nose.

My grandfather saw “something”. He was standing alone on a bridge toward dusk and a ball of light dipped up and around, hovered for a little while, and vanished. He said that someone told him about a type of lightning that acts like that. It certainly was not a camera trick.

Here is a slideshow of photos/videos of ball lightning (some are clearer than others):

That was a weird video Can I just say too, the music was not good (felt like I was at the circus - hehehe!!) I thought some of the video looked like this strange lightening you mentioned, but some just lights. Unexplainable again maybe…

Some excellent points there Gary and I agree that it is possible it could be demonic, and because of this, never worth the risk. A previous poster on this thread “horselvr” said she/he saw them and made the sign of the cross. I think this is a smart thing to do, I can imagine that’s what I’d do…possibly after fainting… I just don’t know how I would react.

Loved your comment 'God doesn’t haunt buildings and scare people." Very true and worth remembering. This shows that it may not be from ‘light’ but from ‘darkness’. We should re-post that statement on a New Age thread.

Now that is scary
That sort of proves there really is plenty of ‘darkness’ and bad things out there. And these orbs were around those children, makes it even worse.

While I don’t discount the possibility of orbs, the orbs in that image are almost certainly caused by a mix of darkness, insufficient light, fires causing a significant amount of smoke (and therefore spreading out a lot of ash), and a low-end flash.

This would also explain the heavy black mucous in your nose the next morning.

I personally have seen orbs of various sizes for quite some time. So for me their existance is real. They have ranged from very illuminated balls of light and dense black orbs majority of these have been witnessed inside the house.

Last year I came across this video of Leonard Susskind who is a Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics at Stanford University. His research interests include string theory, quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics and quantum cosmology. In this video he explains his blackhole theory, it fasinating and may in some way provide some understanding to some paranormal experiences.

The two videos in that clip aren’t consistent with most of the accounts of ball lighting that I’ve read in various books and journals, just to make the observation. Fascinating, nonetheless.

Orbs are particles that reflect the flash light of a camera. Snow flakes, dust, rain drops, …
It’s an optical phenomenon mainly occuring with cheap, eh compact digital cameras.
There’s nothing supernatural about it.

Nope! You are incorrect. Dust particles are easily distinguished from an actual orb. Dust particles move freely with no control as oppose to orbs which have control of movement.

Thanks for your "orb"servation.

Are orbs real or not?

I am in two minds about it. Is it all just ‘New Age’ nonsense or is there a chance ‘some of them’ could be a sign from Our Blessed Mother?

New Agers believe they can be deceased loved ones, fairies or/and spirits that have not yet crossed over (trapped spirits).

We, humans cannot claim to obviously know and understand everything…so…maybe…just maybe…

There is a lot of things on YouTube that make for interesting watching.

Hi Angel Eyes. If you see an orb and it gives you the feeling that it’s the Blessed Mother, then I would offer the opinion that you should go ahead and get swept away with the feeling. Truth is, the Blessed Mother and her Son are all around you all the time. Whether the orb is a manifestation of her or not, it seems to help you in particular to feel the closeness that in itself is very real. Perhaps it’s her. Perhaps it’s a dust particle. Either way, if it helps you feel her, then that’s your ride. She IS there anyway, so if the dust particle helps you feel it, then use it. One thing is certain - what is in your heart for her is very real. If something you see unlocks it, then why not? And you know, who’s to say? Maybe it’s even her. Could be. She knows that you love her and that you look for her in things around you, so I would keep doing just that, and pay attention to what you see.

Just my unqualified opinion.

Your friend,
Sufjon

Stick to the sound doctrine,

Do not put any stock in “new age” perceptions of pseudo-apparitions or manifestations. Orbs…give me a break.

There is enough revelation and mystical tradition in the catholic faith to last a lifetime. No need to step into the realm of the demonic.

Lucifer will trick you if you veer from the sound doctrine of Jesus Christ.

Hi Perro: Those who have truly given themselves to God know that they can belong only to God. What then should they fear? Nothing can touch what belongs to God. If your eye be single, then you will find what it is you seek in all things.

Yes, orbs are absolutely real. I saw one in early November 2010. I strongly believe they (or at least some of them) are angels. Don’t be discouraged or put off by nay-sayers and non-believers. I’ve taken thousands of photos of orbs in all sorts of circumstances. When you see orbs in pictures, look for meaning and significance as to where they are placed in the picture. For instance, in your pictures you will find orbs on parts of the body that hurt, i.e., if you
have a bad knee, they will be on your knee repeatedly. When you are feeling depressed, sad, happy or have any strong emotion, they will be very bright, large and mobile. You can
get pictures of them zooming around the room, leaving trails behind. The orb I saw appeared to me after I had a terrifying nightmare in which I was attacked by a black shadow
(which was obviously a demon). I called out “Help me, Jesus!” and the demon vanished. When I woke up, the orb was in the bedroom, hovering about 16 feet away, about
8 feet above the floor. I watched it for approximately 3 to 5 minutes, then it slowly faded away. I was not frightened at all. As soon as it left, I almost instantly fell asleep
and awoke the next morning feeling fine, and having no clear memory of what had happened the night before. About 3 nights later, I suddenly remembered everything, and it
terrified me all over again because I didn’t understand what had happened. I’m OK with it now, and to date I have taken thousands of pictures of them. I have found that they respond
to prayers and verbal requests by appearing in your pictures in strategic positions. Don’t listen to atheists, they have nothing to say about the supernatural except “bah humbug”.
Listen to those who have seen them with the naked eye, as I have and others posting here. They are real, and I believe they are meant to be signs to encourage us. In case you are
wondering, I am a very conservative “born again” Catholic, never have held any “new age” beliefs. And just to help muddy the water, dust and water droplets can appear just like orbs in pictures, so you have to be discerning. Look for meaning in your photos. You’ll learn to differentiate the real from the false orbs. The orb that I saw with my naked eyes looked exactly like the orbs in pictures. It had three rings, like a bulls-eye, and about seven or eight dark roundish spots forming a circle in the center of the orb. Peace out!

I use to hear from non denominational Christian groups that appearances of Mary (such as Fatima) were demonic. Also heard on radio show one time a man telling a story about his father who prayed to Mary. The son reported that when his father was on his death bed, and he was walking down the hall away from his fathers room, he heard his father say, “No, you tricked me!” This was to point out visions of Mary were demonic (in this story).

johnnyjones: Non-Catholic christians have no respect for the Blessed Virgin. They view her as some sort of farm animal who was nothing more than a “rent-a-womb” for the Lord. A chicken that laid an egg, and Jesus popped out. End of her involvement. In all her approved apparitions, she always points directly to her Son. No demon would do that.

I agree. I came out of Fundamentalism (20 years) and came home. I would add though that demons can present themselves in many ways, so I don’t know if you can entirely discount false apparations.
