Susan: What was your most profound experience with angels?
Doreen Virtue: Well, it has got to be when my life was saved, and that was on July 15th, 1995. I was driving to an appointment and before I got in the car I heard this male voice outside my right ear, so not in my head but outside, as if someone was talking to me, and he said, "Doreen, you'd better put the top up on your car or it will be stolen."
I had a car that was a convertible but the motor that controlled the top was broken at the time so there was just no way to put the top up. And so for some reason, instead of questioning that there was this voice, I argued with it and said, "Well, I can't put the top up" and it just simply repeated this same message over and over again. And then finally, it said, "Well, have Grant do it."
Grant is my youngest son who was home at that time. At the time, he was kind of, maybe eleven or twelve, so it was not his voice; this was a full grown man's voice, and he was the only other person in their house, and he was in another room. And this voice just continued to warn me and I just couldn't put the top up.
So instead, as I was driving to the appointment, I was praying for protection and when I got to my appointment I was jumped by two armed man and they were demanding my purse and my car keys. I was being car jacked. And what was remarkable to me was that even though I had argued with this voice and hadn't listened with putting the top up, which would've prevented the whole thing, because the top of my car was just very ugly and no one would've wanted to car jack an ugly car. So with the top down it was white upholstery, white car, and so it was very flashy.
Even though I had kind of, ignored their warning the voice was still there to protect me and the voice said, this time, "Scream with all your might, Doreen" really clear in my right ear and I just didn't even hesitate. I just screamed from my gut and the man's eyes, even though he had a gun, got really big. I was taller than him and I was wearing high heels, so I think, partly, my height and my screams were like a cave woman's scream. I didn't even realize we had a cave woman in us until this experience.
He backed away but he was still pointing this gun at me and he was motioning for me to give him my car keys and my purse. I just wasn't; partly, because I didn't have theft insurance on my car.
I'm thinking really fast during this. "God, if he takes this car I don't have the money to get a new car." So when the angels told me to scream that is what I did and the screams attracted the attention of a woman who... and I always just say, "she just happened to be" because it was no coincidence. She was sitting in her car in the parking lot, eating her lunch and she looked up, saw what was happening and she leaned on her car horn to help.
The car horn attracted people inside this who came out and just the presence of all these people the man just got in their car and ran away. I just fell to my knees because it was it was so shocking on all these levels: I had almost lost my life... my car, at the very least. And the other shocking thing was that this voice had known my future an hour before it happened and that the voice got me out of it.
It was just so big. I just started praying again. I just said, "God, thank you for saving my life. And what can I do?"
I was already an author. I was writing about eating disorders. In fact, I was scheduled to fly to Las Vegas the next day, to go talk at some sort of healthy food convention about food cravings, about a book called "Constant Cravings" that had just come out and I was just told to teach about angels.
I came straight out of the closet. The next day, when I flew to Las Vegas, I was wearing a goddess gown, my crystals, I talked about angels publicly for the first time, and because I had almost died the day before I was still in shock. I just quit caring what people think and then I've just been doing it ever since; ever since July 16th, 1995.
