Seventeen Angels

Seventeen glorious angels
Came to visit me last night
Each wore a ribbon of light
And a crown of candles
Each one glimmered with gold
Their faces shone like alabaster
So bright, so beautiful, so barely there
All there was left to see was me
--In all my dark despair
--In all my heavenly light

And the seventeen angels sang to me,
"Darling one! What? Do you not know?
You are that which contains both light and dark.
THAT is the true light
A light your eyes are incapable of seeing
A light your mind is unable to fathom
It is the heart which knows and recognizes this Light.
This is the Light of Compassion, Wisdom, and the Only True Love
This Light holds her children, both light and dark,
in equal embrace."

More on the sunny side...

Me again to you again...

I realized i was changing the chorus in my head when it was singing itself to me...so I thought I would share with you my version . . . just a tad different from the original . . .

Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life,
It will help you see the way
It will brighten every day
When you keep on the sunny side of Life.

Keep on the Sunny Side of Life

Good Morning Apple Blossoms, These song lyrics have been running through my mind and this morning I got the message that I should post them here for you. It's mainly the chorus (in bold) that has been running through my mind. I will also include a link to a youtube if you want to hear the song also: Keep On The Sunny Side

There's a dark and a troubled side of life;
There's a bright and a sunny side, too;
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife,
The sunny side we also may view.

[chorus]
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life;
It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way,
If we keep on the sunny side of life.

Tho' the storm in its fury break today,
Crushing hopes that we cherished so dear,
Storm and cloud will in time pass away,
The sun again will shine bright and clear.

Let us greet with a song of hope each day,
Tho' the moments be cloudy or fair;
Let us trust in our Savior alway,
Who keepeth everyone in His care.[4

Keep On the Sunny Side is a popular American song originally written in 1899 by Ada Blenkhorn (1858–1927) with music by J. Howard Entwisle (1866–1903). The song was popularized in a 1928 recording by the Carter Family. A recording of the song with The Whites was featured in the 2000 movie 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'.

Being Receptive

Dearest Students, 

On July 28 I posted this message: Hi Most Lovely Students, Here is a special gift offer that is open only until August 8. Please send me your Mailing Address and I will send you a special gift. But you can't receive one unless you email me your address by August 8. Love and Surprises from your friendly teacher...(only for currently registered students, of course). 

I posted a reminder on July 29.

Then, when I sent out your last lessons, I offered a last opportunity for you to receive a special gift from your teacher.  

Only some of you responded. And some of you sent me your email address, even though I specified your Mailing Address. 

What does this tell you? How receptive are you? Why on earth would you be offered a gift from your teacher and not be open to receive it? Where else do you not say YES to the gifts the universe has to offer you? Where do you live in lack, loss, fear, and limitation? Where are you not aware of the gifts being offered you? Where are you not paying attention?

For those of you who did respond, you will be receiving a gift in the mail from your grateful teacher.

LOVE as always,
your gift giving teacher

but anyway, here is a gift of stardust for everyone . . .

- Chuang Tzu

“We cling to our own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.”

“I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?”

May you all have such a sweet safe trusting sleep.

Morning Wisdom

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart. - Jim Carrey

Super Moon of Summer outside my door

It was floating
in a sea of sky
a spaceship
of borrowed light.

Our greatest glory

“Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall” Confucius quotes (China's most famous teacher, philosopher, and political theorist, 551-479 BC)

As the angels tell us--if you fail a thousand times a day, then remind yourself a thousand times a day to turn towards the Light. Failing is not wrong. Believing you are a failure is wrong. You are not a failure and never could be. The ego is a failure, but the ego is not real. It is an illusion of pain; even in its grandiosity, it is in pain.

All the words of the angels, all your lessons, your daily messages, Your Open Classroom -- it is all here for you. Each day you are offered a treasure chest of gold. That gold is Truth. It is God. It is the words and wisdom of the angels. It is your own heart speaking to you.

You are not the person you take yourself to be. Stop believing you are. Stop believing in lack, loss, fear, and limitation. You can stop anytime. You can stop now. You can just stop. You can understand now. It is possible.

The angels see your pain. They know your pain. They know your confusion. And so the school of angels exists for you. It is for you. Every word you read here is just for you. The angels lay down a bed of roses sweetly scented and cover you with a blanket of love. Receive. Simply receive.

When a baby is born, at least here in the USA, we have what are called "receiving blankets." Isn't this a beautiful thought? Blankets made just to receive new born babies! Someone has to be here to receive the new born babe with open arms, an open heart, and a soft sweet receiving blanket. The baby is received into this world.

Just as a baby is born upon the earth, so is Truth born, each moment. Truth is always new. Truth has no age. Truth exists in timelessness. Only the physical body exists within time. Time is a concept of this world of darkness, not of the realm of Light. In the realm of Light where angels constantly sing the praises of the Most High, time does not exist. Nor does death exist. There is only true and eternal everlasting Life.

You are that Life. You are that Truth. But you cannot know this unless you are open to receiving. So have your soft sweet receiving blanket ready. Let your mind open. Let your heart receive. All the Treasure of Truth is here for you. You are not meant to live your life closed and hard. You are here to be open and soft to God. God will give you everything. God wants to give you everything. But you must have your receiving blanket ready to receive the dear sweet moments of Truth that are born each moment in your heart and soul when you are willing to receive them. Then you are reborn every moment. You are alive and awake and alight with Truth.

There is a way out of the pain. There is. It is not in some other country or someone's else's house. It is here now for you eternal and everywhere. You do not have to go anywhere to find this Truth. You must only open yourself to receive. Receive. Now. Be receptive.

All love,
your receptive teacher and classmate

Angels of Nature

There are angels of meadows, forests, flowers, trees, and plants. Living in the moment, they work harmoniously together to maintain the sensitive balance of nature. Nature spirits are very intent upon their tasks, because so much of nature is disappearing due to the carelessness and cruelty of humankind, particularly the haphazard clearing of trees and rain forests. As the angels of nature are pushed further and further away, they have less and less contact with humankind. Still, they can be inspired to work with human beings when they sense that a person sincerely cares about and is dedicated to the preservation of nature. 

Even near the big city of Los Angeles, there are places of natural beauty where the nature spirits live. I took this photo in a place I like to walk with my little dog. Nature can always uplift our spirits and deepen our connection with God. Nature is God's cathedral. Sunshine and running water--brooks, streams, rivers, waterfalls--are vitamins for the soul. Mountains provide exercise for the body and inspiration for the spirit. Fresh air fills the lungs and heart with pure joy. When you are in nature, you can sense the gentle loving nature spirits; even when you cannot see them, you can still feel their presence.

Good Advice!

Monika sent me this and I like it so much I am sharing it with you.

conversation of two unborn babies

...found recently on the internet:

Conversation of two children:

In the belly of a pregnant woman were two babies. The first asks the other one:

- Do you believe in life after birth?

- Certainly. Something has to be after birth. Maybe we are here mainly because we prepare for what will be later.

- It is foolishness, there is no life after birth. How should that life actually look like?

- I do not know exactly, but certainly there will be more light than here. Maybe we will run on our own feet and eat with mouth.

- That is nonsense! Running is impossible. And eating by mouth? It is totally ridiculous! The navel string feeds us. Something I say: Life after birth is excluded - the umbilical cord is already very short.

- Indeed, there certainly is something. Just maybe everything will be a little different than what we are used to have here.

- But nobody after birth has ever returned from there. Childbirth just ends life. And after all, life is nothing else than protracted distress in the darkness.

- Well, I do not know exactly how it will look like after birth, but surely we will see the mother and she will take care of us.

- Mother? Do you believe in mother? And where is she supposed to be?

- Where? All around us! In her and through her we live. Without her we would not have existed at all.

- I do not believe it! I have never seen any mother, so it is clear that there is none.

- Well, but sometimes when we are silent, you can hear her singing, or feel how she keeps stroking our world. You know, I really think that the real life awaits us only then and now we only prepare for it...

Fairy Time

THE FAIRIES VISIT

The fairies visited me
this morning
softly and gently
they flew through my window
their tiny voices
making sweet low noises
tinkling and rhyming
the way fairies do
when they are happy.

I fixed them tea
and raspberries with cream
and fed them on my favorite china.

When they were finished,
they washed all the dishes,
then flew through my window
as softly and gently
as they had come.
 ----------------------------
 P.S. I managed to paint a picture of one of the fairies, which you can see by clicking read more. 

Watch the skies!

Perseids meteor shower, 

and the summer's brightest moon will be shining down upon us August 10

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/08/us/irpt-august-supermoon/index.html

Wherever you are, we can look up in the sky and see the same moon. 

I've always somehow loved that fact. 

I love you !

New Lesson coming August 8!

This is an exciting time for me--spiritually exciting--because I am getting new lessons ready to send. As I read over each lesson and make any necessary revisions, I have the chance to imbibe the energy of the angels again and again! I love reading the lessons again, as well as writing new ones. I especially like reading the lessons with pictures, on-line, with the big verdana print. I feel filled with new Truth and new Energy and Even Closer to the Angels as I read these lessons. I feel love filling and surrounding me. I feel myself becoming more fearless with each angel lesson. I am my own best student! All love to all of you for your day. And enjoy your new lessons when they arrive shining with light in your email.
