Alex Opalstone and the Window of Heaven's View: Life 101 Part 1

by T. M. Meek

  The large full-sized truck, was being driven by a woman with no other passengers in her car and was driving southbound also in the far left-hand, fast lane of traffic. The few cars that were behind the truck were far enough away that they stopped in plenty of time before hitting the truck or each other. There were no other cars ahead of Kelly's for at least a hundred feet so the only vehicle that the truck hit was Kelly's van.

  The woman in the truck, who had fallen asleep at the wheel, was an exhausted single parent and overworked nurse who had just finished a long night shift at work and was finally on her way home. The nurse had fallen against the steering wheel asleep which caused her hands to barely hang onto the wheel and she began to dangle with limp limbs. The sudden collapse of her body against the wheel caused her truck to turn off to the left from her southbound fast lane while simultaneously pushing the horn of her truck to blare loudly at a constant pace as it collided with Kelly's van, head-on.

  A small economy car, was following close behind Kelly's van and tried to avoid hitting and rear-ending her van by quickly reacting and swerving to the right to get into the right-hand slower lane of northbound traffic. But because there were already two cars in the right hand lane, a luxury car that was slightly ahead of the economy car in distance, and a large SUV, also in the right-hand lane and fast approaching the tail of the luxury car, another accident occurred.

  As the small economy car tried to quickly squeeze in between the luxury car and the SUV, the driver of the luxury car, a woman, instantly noticed in her rear view mirrors the sudden movement of the smaller car behind her so she punched her accelerator to quickly feed more fuel to all 240 horses under her hood which caused her to quickly move faster ahead and provided more room for the economy car to move into in hopes of preventing a major rear-ending.

  This worked but only in part as the economy car still slightly rear-ended the luxury car. This was still better than having it slam into the rear of the much more expensive car to cause a full impact rear-end collision which is exactly what happened to the SUV as the swift movement of the small economy car into the right-hand lane made it impossible for the driver of the SUV to avoid rear-ending the economy car despite the swift reaction of the driver of the SUV to slam on his brakes.

  The small economy car was being driven by a young man who recently had his driver’s license suspended for a DUI (driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs). He had a particularly bad feeling about driving illegally without his license that morning but he chose to ignore it since he was sober that morning. He figured he could ignore the warning feeling he had since he was only going to run a quick errand and he thought he wouldn't be gone long. There were no other passengers in his small car.

  The luxury car was being driven by a grandmother who was a real estate agent and was the only one in the accident who was wealthy enough to have a mobile car phone with her at the time. The only other passenger with her was her grandson, a ten-year-old, who sat in her front passenger seat.

  The large SUV had only two passengers in it, two male construction workers who were on their way to work.

  As all of the cars and their passengers remained motionless at the point of initial impact of the minivan and the truck, within each of the vehicles at the scene, a light began to appear, one near each passenger. Each light grew brighter and brighter and expanded until a wingless angel appeared from heaven dressed in a simple robe of spotless white, that radiated in brilliant light. An angel appeared by each passenger in the five vehicles.

  All of the angels were adults who looked as if they are in what is often considered among human beings to be the prime of life age-wise of somewhere in their mid to late twenties. Some were men. Some were women. None of the angels have wings as the heavenly power that moves them obeys higher laws of faith in Jesus Christ that allow midair movement and suspension without the need for mechanical aid. Any use of God's power is only granted when it is a true need initiated by faith used in sacred works and efficiency and only as first approved of by the Lord Himself.

  Since it is not intended to impress the recipients of such blessings while in mortality on earth, most people do not see such miraculous manifestations of divine power or else nearly everyone would demand a sign so as to justify such a request in the name of personal edification before believing in God's power and still others would simply refuse to believe at all unless they could first see God's power in a manner they wanted, when they wanted and why (which requires no faith at all). But the laws of heaven are clear: in order to see the power of God you must first exercise faith to believe––not the other way around. But most importantly of all, you must be willing to say: "Thy will, Lord, not mine, be done" regarding any manifestations of the Lord's power as the powers of heaven cannot be forced by the will of any man, woman or child.

  So in following these higher laws (which are only a few of many), none of the passengers in any of the cars actually saw any of the blessings that were about to be realized by the angels but some of them may have felt or spiritually sensed such a heavenly presence near them if they were willing to believe. Still others may get a glimpse of it after the fact if they looked with a believing eye of faith as Alex was trying to do. Certainly all will know the truth after this life of what really happens when the Lord sends His heavenly angels to bless us in so many unseen ways.

  The lead angel that stopped the MECs then went to each car and shared the power to pause and unpause the MEC of the specific passenger each angel was assigned the privilege of blessing. This power was shared temporarily; just long enough to provide the divine intervention needed at various points in time throughout the accident to bless each individual affected in the way that is best as God had already approved for the circumstances.

  Now with all of the cars motionless in both directions of the four lanes of traffic and with the collision paused briefly during the initial impact of the truck and van, the heaven-sent guardian angels moved into action all at once during this tragic moment of frozen time.

  In Kelly's van, all angels began adjusting various environmental and physical conditions that were needed to fulfill the blessings ordered for each of the passengers. Some faithful prayers that brought on such blessings were prayers of loved ones still living and other prayers were by the faith of those who had already passed.

  Whitney's guardian angel, a woman, placed her hand on Whitney's shoulder that gave her a feeling of peace that began to immediately relax Whitney beyond her natural, mortal ability to do under such stress as she was in the moment of having turned back from talking to Simeon and she has just seen the sudden head-on approach of the oncoming truck. Although Whitney had put on her seatbelt when she first sat down in the van, she did not secure it enough to actually click and lock into place. As her seatbelt latch is frozen in the now partial stage of release while on its way to becoming completely released and undone and useless in its means for safety, her angel corrected it by locking the seatbelt attachment securely in place. The angel then left a blessing on it to fulfill its mechanical design towards safety successfully for Whitney's safe protection.

  She then unpaused Whitney's MEC for a quarter of a second and then repaused it to allow the force of increased impact to move Whitney's head and body as such forces of nature and physical laws allow but then she adjusted Whitney's paused head to a safer angle as it was about to receive a significant blow from Simeon's mostly airborne briefcase and it is not intended that Whitney pass through death at this time from a fatal blow of his briefcase against her head.

  The blessings ordered for her, specific to this accident, are for her to receive only minimal injuries and to live for many more years to come as she will freely choose to become a well-known, successful gospel singer several years later on account of the gratitude she will express to God for her survival although she does not know yet that this will be the future she chooses for herself. Whitney loved to sing and her talent would one day become a blessing of hope, love and peace
for millions of people worldwide.

  The blow she will receive to her head from the briefcase was changed from the corner of it hitting her temple as a fatal blow, to a smaller part of the side of the briefcase hitting the back of her head with part of the back of the passenger side headrest blocking much of the blow and thereby influencing a better outcome for her safety and neurological health.

  The blow will assist in knocking her completely unconscious causing her entire body to relax completely before the full impact of the head-on collision can do the kind of intense internal and external damage that so often happens to the human body of a front seat passenger in such fatal collisions. Whitney needed this added advantage since the airbag in the front passenger side has a faulty computer chip in it which will delay its release by an otherwise fatal one and a half seconds.

  The heavenly option to simply correct the faulty computer chip within the airbag is discarded in favor of letting the car manufacturer realize the problem so as to provide enough impetus to learn what they need to correct it in all future car models. Her MEC is unpaused again to allow another half of a second to pass and then its paused again and her angel adjusts her body one last time as the airbag is partially deployed so that her now limp neck and slumped head are not fatally slammed against the hard rolled up window as the airbags delayed deployment would unintentionally force her head in the wrong direction. With each pause of her MEC the loud sounds of the car crash stop and silence ensues while the angel works and with each unpausing the loud sounds are heard again until the MEC is again paused.

  Simeon’s guardian angel, a man, has orders to fulfill for Simeon that will spare his life but will not return him to full-functioning physical health. This is by design so that Simeon will need to create a way to work from home. Simeon will freely choose to become one of the first pioneers to offer online video tutorials regarding the latest innovative technologies. But one of the most important results to come from this will be his good example as a disabled person who ends up identifying the problems that occur in faulty airbag deployment and correcting them so that they go from working effectively 78% of the time to working 96% of the time effectively thereby saving tens of millions of lives for many, many years.

  As the guardian angel pauses Simeon's MEC, all motion and car collision sounds are stopped. To spare his life, his guardian angel must adjust Simeon's midair physical position enough to keep him from crashing through the front windshield. The trade off comes when Simeon's body gets bounced around the back of the van in such a way that his neck and spine get damaged and he becomes a quadriplegic.

  All of the loudness of the accident returned as the unpausing of his MEC by his angel then caused Simeon's head to hit the top of the inside of the right rear passenger door to knock him unconscious so he doesn't feel the dozens of shards of glass that will soon fly into his face as his briefcase eventually flies free from his hand making its way into a nearby partially open window. His dress tie is guided to fly up and protect his eyes from the flying glass so that no damage occurs to his vision.

  Later on in the hospital he'll get a peaceful feeling that the tie protected his vision and he'll then know that the seemingly strange inclination he had to wear a shirt and tie that Saturday morning (something he wouldn't normally do) was a heaven-sent idea he'll be forever grateful he didn't ignore.

  Kelly's guardian angel, a woman, had little work to do. Kelly's work on earth was already done. Although her angel had access to all power needed to make the completely faulty drivers side airbag deploy properly against all odds for the saving of Kelly at this time, the airbag deployment system on her side of the car was not to be fixed by her angel.

  Her angel saw the bigger picture of life and how happy Kelly was about to be––how deeply and everlastingly happy––and how Simeon, by strength drawn in faith from heaven, would turn his own grief to good and to the blessing of millions of others as their lives would be spared thanks to God giving Simeon the extra guidance and insight needed so that there were far fewer future stories of heartache in preventable death, paralyzation and other forms of crippling bodily injury to future front seat passengers all around the world. Someone's mother, or brother, or daughter, or sister, or father, or child or best friend would not die because of God's mercy to inspire the right person––the one who would work diligently and gladly as well as the most quickly to ensure the highest quality for the current technology and resources available for the time––and that right person was Simeon.

  Kelly had been a loving daughter, sister, wife, and friend in a particularly Christian way. She had a talent for giving others hope when all hope seemed lost. When her dad wanted to give up after failing sixty-four times to invent an affordable cell phone that was smaller than the average size adult male’s hand, she kept encouraging him along with her mom and on his sixty-fifth try, he made it! When her mom decided to start her own catering business, she had a goal to earn six figures in profits within four years and Kelly not only cheered her on, but found better ways to save more money on various business expenses along with getting her larger orders with each year until by the fourth year her mom had achieved her goal of earning $100,000 in profits.

  She volunteered whenever she could for her family and local church. Simeon told Kelly on more than one occasion how he never would have graduated from MIT without her help. She used to respond by saying she felt it was him who helped her most of the time since they both graduated from MIT with honors. And Whitney would never have joined her church choir if it weren't for Kelly encouraging her to do so after she would hear Whitney sing along so well to favorite gospel songs on the radio. It would be a newcomer watching Whitney rehearse at church later in two years that would bring Whitney the opportunity of a lifetime in the Christian music industry.

  Kelly's influence for good would literally be felt by millions upon millions of people in the decades to come. But maybe the most special blessings of all that came from such tragedy was that just four hours before her death, Simeon's sixteen-year-old sister, Marion, was diagnosed with a rare heart disease and not only was Kelly an organ donor, but her heart was a perfect match for Marion.

  Kelly saved Marion's life as well as others. Kelly's talent was now needed directly by heaven. It was time for her to return to her heavenly home where she may have the opportunity to be reunited with family and other loved ones who had already passed. She may also be reunited with Simeon after six years when he passes due to complications brought on by being both a quadriplegic and diabetic. Kelly's guardian angel simply ensured that the impact from the collision caused Kelly's eternal spirit to leave her mortal body behind quickly and painlessly and return to her heavenly home.

  As Alex remembered reading the old e-mail Whitney wrote to Alex's mom and Aunt Meredith a few years ago on the anniversary of the accident, she recalled how often Whitney mentioned new blessings she had recognized over the years since the accident––especially as she and Simeon kept in touch right up until his passing. Although the first year without Kelly was especially hard for him, Simeon later attributed his determined ambition to fix the glitch in airbag deployment for all cars in Kelly's honor.

  Kelly's van continued to spin completely around a few times before it came to a full stop halfway on the side of the road and eventually faced oncoming traffic. But miraculously, no other cars hit her van again.

  Rewinding her MEC back to a few moments before initial impact, the guardian angel took the nurse’s MEC time and reversed it back to when she first got behind the wheel. Because the nurse was so tired, she didn't properly react to the thoughts her angel gave her to move to the backseat of the large truck and get some sleep before driving home. She was just too eager to get to sleep in her own bed and thought she could handle the drive. So her angel did as all angels from heaven do and that is to not force anyone to do anything but to rather simply persuade until the person either follows the idea or proves he or she will not listen and will not follow it, often due to
pride or other hardness of heart (but sometimes due to doubt or any of a variety of fears, such as fear of rejection due to overvaluing the misguided or vain opinions of another).

  Some people are quicker at learning that once an idea comes into their mind that encourages them to do something that is good, they should not wonder whether it is an idea from heaven or an idea of their own. A good idea is often something that should be followed. The rare exception to this is often in matters of safety such as a woman who thinks she should try to be nice to a strange man who is hitchhiking by offering him a ride or by being nice and letting an abusive ex-boyfriend or abusive ex-spouse back into her home when he has shown no consistent signs of stopping his abusive ways by seeking appropriate psychological help as such are examples when being nice can get you killed or otherwise seriously harmed.

  Once a person has taken the right action on an idea he or she received from their guardian angel, the angel leaves only to return again at times of great need and often in response to prayers of faith in God or more specifically, faith in the love and power of His Son, Jesus Christ, towards the blessing of all who will believe in and follow Him. Neither God, nor His angels will ever force anyone to take the right action on an idea given from heaven via their thoughts. This is why angels leave when people won't listen. At the very least, the driver of the truck, who was too tired to realize after starting her car that she had not yet put on her seatbelt, she did, however, follow the thought provided by her guardian angel to put on her seatbelt before driving.

  The guardian angel for the nurse in the truck, made sure she fell completely asleep early enough so that her body would be totally relaxed and thus more likely to survive the impact. The driver’s side airbag deployed just fine in the truck. It too continued on and spun in a few circles until it came to a stop in the fast lane facing mostly crossways as part of the tail was on the left shoulder of the road and the length of the truck crossed the fast lane with its nose partially crossing the right lane.

  Another miracle was given as no other cars hit the truck. She survived the accident with minimal injuries and went on to speak to groups throughout her city on the dangers of driving drowsy and helped others to think twice before following her poor example. This penitent effort by her saved many additional lives. She also was able to wisely cut back her hours at work so she could be a more effective nurse at work and even more importantly, be a more available and thus more effective mother for her children at home.

  The guardian angels of the other cars needed only to use a simple but vital boost to the senses of the other drivers beyond their normal abilities to help them be more alert and aware of their surroundings including heightened awareness of the actions of the drivers around them.

  But in the case with the driver of the economy car, who ignored the warning thought not to drive on a suspended license, who also ignored the warning to not use his cell phone while driving, his fears of getting in an accident and getting caught breaking the law drowned out the more calm guidance he received to slam on his brakes first and then he would have seen that he had perfect timing to jump in the right hand lane after braking which would have allowed the large SUV to pass him.

  But because the driver of the small car was so desperate to avoid hitting the van (so he wouldn't get caught driving without a license and using his cell phone at the time of the accident) he used his own judgment and reacted out of fear and thus reacted in the wrong way and wound up hitting one car and then being hit by another––problems that could have been avoided had he not been on the road and brought on the fulfillment of his own fears to begin with.

  All of the efforts his guardian angel provided to discourage him from driving today and to still help him avoid an accident so he might at least want to get back home and no longer take the risk to drive until he penitently received his license again didn't work because the driver of the economy car wouldn't receive the intended blessings that would've come had he wisely chosen to heed the earlier warnings to not drive and not text on his cell phone while driving.

  The fact that his life was spared was a great blessing for him and at the very least, he was blessed to have not done more damage to the very expensive luxury car that he only mildly rear-ended. That blessing came about as the driver of that luxury car, without hesitation, followed the thought from her angel to speed up and make more room for the economy car to fit in behind her. Her quick following of that divine inspiration significantly reduced the amount of injury she and her grandson could have experienced and it became a blessing for the driver of the small car as it simultaneously significantly reduced his liability.

  The guardian angel for the driver of the SUV did try and warn him not to break the speed limit and not tail the driver ahead of him (since his intent was to speed up to pass the luxury car). But he also would not receive the intended blessings of heaven, as the Lord knew of the upcoming collision and that the driver of the economy car would react in fear and quickly pull to the right too soon. But the driver of the SUV did at the last minute follow the idea to finally put on his seatbelt and he did so just moments before their large SUV rear-ended the smaller car. More blessings came for those in the SUV in that they were in a large vehicle which added more impact protection for them and both of their airbags properly deployed. But they could've had the full blessings the Lord tried to provide for them had they simply obeyed the speed limit.

  Other angels ensured the timing of other cars traveling on the same roads that day had timing that would limit the event to damage only five cars so as to affect the fewest cars and the fewest people as possible while also honoring the free choice of all of the drivers involved.

  After the collisions ended and all cars came to a stop, the driver of the luxury car called for emergency ambulatory services after she knew she and her grandson were okay. The fact that she had a mobile phone in her car, fully charged and working so she could make the needed calls for help, were additional blessings for all involved.

  Once each angel had enacted the allotted blessings for that event in time, then that angel reported to the lead angel regarding the blessings provided. Each angel then received more instructions regarding other heavenly work he or she was privileged to do. Much of Alex’s visualization of heaven’s blessings came from Whitney's and Simeon's correspondence after the wreck. Over the years their e-mails often included times that they both counted the various blessings that they felt came from what was certainly a heart-wrenching experience for them all. They were both very grateful for the blessings they received and much of their comfort came in their gratitude to God and friendship over the years.

  They wouldn't have known of the warning thoughts and feelings that the other drivers experienced had it not been for the grandmother, the driver of the luxury car, who spoke with the other drivers as they all waited for the emergency responders to arrive. She spoke to the others gently and with the kind of wisdom only a grandmother of many years could do. She stayed in touch with Whitney for the first year since they both had a mutual friend in the choir director at Whitney's church who had bought a home from her as a realtor just a few months earlier.

  This same grandmother even visited Whitney in the hospital and told her of the conversations she had with the other surviving drivers, the two men, because it had such a lasting impression on her to hear them both admit (when she spoke with each of them one-on-one alone), "I knew I should've listened to that warning feeling. Had I just done that I wouldn't have gotten into this terrible mess."

  Alex visualized angels helping the emergency medical technicians and continuing onto the hospital to ensure surgeries and various treatments went well while other angels had completed their work for now. As each angel completed his or her work, they took their power to influence the MEC of the individual he or she had stewardship as an angel over and returned it back to the lead angel. Then light collected immediately around each angel followed by the opening of a conduit to heaven where each angel ascended and dis
appeared into heaven and out of sight.
