Trees

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/30/world/europe/german-forest-ranger-finds-that-trees-have-social-networks-too.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

Trees are living beings when we see with expanded vision we see a whole village of life communing together in a supportive way without the need to win or overpower one another. All we must do is open our eyes to the vast spiritual world of nature and stop trying to use and abuse it for our own selfish interests and as we befriend nature we will come to realize that nature is our greatest friend as the great Consciousness manifests through it creating beauty for our souls, food for our bodies, serenity for our spirits. Thank you beautiful trees, Love, Indira

German Forest Ranger Finds That Trees Have Social Networks, Too.

Sea Angels

The angels of oceans are great devas, serene and tranquil. They love to chant the name of God. They know the language of all sea beings. These angels possess such stillness of heart that you can hear it if you go to the ocean and listen carefully. The angels of the ocean have a deeply intuitive relationship with whales, dolphins, manatees, octopi and all sea life. Intelligent sea creatures experience the presence of angels in a way that humanity is vastly unaware of. When human beings savage the oceans, the angels draw even closer to the great sea beings and do their best to calm the fish and fauna that inhabit the oceans.

A Bright Hello

Need a little brightner for your day? I need one for mine today. It seems so much is falling away. I stand like a tree approaching winter. The icy cold air like a blanket of truth around me. The only true friend is God. And angels. And nature that enfolds us always, whether it be in storms or sunshine. Nature is impersonal in its giving and taking. Not so with humans. Everything human egos do is personal and contains a personal motive. This is what we must see about ourselves. This is what it means to come out of the dream of deceiving yourself by believing yourself. Believe nothing. Find out what is true in your own heart and you will be free. Here's a bright painting I created. Enjoy!

Guardian Angel Message THE GOLDEN RULE

Dear One, Have you considered the meaning of  the word Dear with which we begin our messages, with which you often begin your own correspondence? So often human beings read and write, as well as speak, without awareness. Without being aware of the meaning of the words they use. Angels are poets. Every word has a meaning, a place. The definition of the word Dear is: Much loved. Precious. Beloved. Much valued. Highly esteemed.

You

This is a bit of poetry by one of my favorite writer-poets who has since died. The words can be complicated to comprehend even if English is your first language and you like poetry. If you have trouble understanding it, let me know, and I'll say more.

Because you're not what I would have you be
I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.
Seeking mirage where desert blooms, I mar
Your you. Aaah, I would like to see
Past all delusions to reality:
Then I would see God's image in your face.
 
The Ordering of Love: The New and Collected Poems of Madeleine L'Engle, 2005.

The Locked Door

Dearest Classmates & Students, the other day I was knocking on the door of someone who was supposed to be home. The doorbell wasn't working. There was lots of snow and I was standing in it, since the walk was not shoveled. I knocked and knocked. After awhile, I could feel impatience arising within me. I knocked harder. No answer. I called out. No answer. Now, there was a very very ill person inside (my sister-in-law) with her seventeen year old daughter and autistic son, so I was concerned. My imagination was telling me stories about what might be happening inside. I could feel anger arising when I thought the daughter (my niece) just wasn't answering the door. I called her cell phone. No answer. More anger arose. Finally, I left.

Angelic Prayer For You

Dearest One, May you receive the abundant blessings of the angels each time you cross the threshold into Your Open Classroom. May this sacred space shelter and give you comfort. May you feel the burdens of the ego melting away as you surrender to the higher teachings of the angels. May you rest in the peace that is here, the peace the world cannot give.

May you be willing to remove the masks that separate you from others, God, and yourself. May you receive the understanding and acceptance that fill this room. May your one bright eye be opened so the weariness of seeing with two eyes dissolves in the clear light of Truth. May your true vision refine and deepen. May you fall into the love in your heart and let it raise you higher.

May you always know you are welcome here where you are held in the love and power and tenderness of the angels. If God is the sun, then angels are the sunlight that warms and brightens and enlightens your way.

Angel Message 14 Seeing

Dearest One, Our last message was about seeing with the Ajna chakra: heart connected to divine intelligence. This is not the way the world sees. The world sees through eyes of duality. This is not due to the eyes, which perform their task of seeing quite well, but to the way the mind goes outward and interprets what it sees. The ego mind can see only past and future. It cannot see the now. The ego by definition is that which can see past and future, which is duality, but never the present moment.

When you see with the 3rd eye, the Ajna chakra, then you see with the One eye -- the One I. Contemplate this. Think about how you see. Be aware of your seeing. Observe. Watch. Witness. Your observation may lead you to new ways of seeing.  Thank you, Your Own Guardian angel

Guardian Angel Message 13, Ajna Chakra

Dearest One, You are one, not two. You are one manifesting as many. Your true beauty cannot be seen with physical eyes. What your eyes see depends upon how you feel. How you feel depends upon what you think. Even someone surrounded by the greatest beauty cannot enjoy it when their thoughts are dark and depressed. When you see only with physical eyes, you see only the past and future, because you are looking through eyes of duality.

Poem

SWEET DARKNESS
...You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.
- David Whyte

Guardian Angel Message #12 Your Name

Dearest One, Perhaps by being addressed by your true name--one of your true names--over and over--perhaps you will begin to know who you really are; not two, but one, not many, but one--One manifesting as many.

This is beautiful if you happen to look...

Angel Message #11, Nature

Dear One, I address you as one because we are all one. Just as the flower is not separate from the earth, as the light is not separate from the sun, as the waterfall is not separate from gravity, so are you not separate from the One. 

Angel Message #10 Light

Dearest One of Light and Beauty, Let your spiritual senses open so your Guardian angel message may be received into your heart. Let the palms of your hands come together like a prayer, and now let them open like a flower receiving the light of the sun. Bring your hands to your heart. Breathe the light deep into your heart.

Guardian Angel Message #9 Lovely Names

 

Dearest One, Lovely Being of Light, Indwelling in the Heart, Radiance of the Moon and Stars, Sweet Sound of the Bees, Scent of the Flowers, Whisper of the Wind through the Sheltering Trees.

Angel Message #8 More

Dearest One, Life is not linear. This means that life is not meant to be an accumulation of more. The purpose of life is not to get 'more' but to let go of 'more.' This means letting go of the idea that more of anything in this world will soothe your heart forever. You will only be soothed deeper into sleep. The more you are focused upon 'more' the more deeply asleep you are. 'More' refers to possessions of all kinds, so long as they belong to and are of this world.

Angel Message #7 Your Guardian Angel

Dearest One, I am your Guardian Angel. This is what I have always been. We are connected through the heart of God. Ask for what you need and I will hear and respond. My responses may not be what you expect. Expectations get in the way of your spiritual hearing and seeing. Just stay open. Stay open without knowing. You do not "need" to know how the angels are meant to manifest in your life. In truth, the angels are always manifesting in your life. They are manifesting now. Your own dear sweet guardian angel is manifesting in your life this very moment. For, lo--I am with you always. My presence envelopes you now. You can feel it.

Angel Message # 6 ONE

Dearest One, Each time we address you as One, you have the chance to let the Truth of Oneness penetrate your mind, touch your heart, and fill your being. For you are One. You are the one who manifests as many. You are the one whom you seek. You are the one you long for. The One exists for you always. There is nothing we say that is trivial. Every word serves a purpose. Our words are deep and meaningful or we'd not bother to speak them in these written words for you to hear. 
    

Bob Dylan Quote

"God, I'm glad I'm not me." -Bob Dylan

Angel Message # 5 ONE

Dear One, You are of the One, from the One, and within the One even when you are not aware of this. Isn't this comforting? It means that separation is an illusion. How can you ever be separate from the One, except in your thinking?
     This tells you something, doesn't it? Something important. It tells you that the all that separates you from the complete love of the One is your thinking.

Guardian Angel Message #4 Relaxation

Dearest One, We commend you who show up here to read our messages. We know which of you are here for we feel your heart vibration and send ours back to you. Do you feel our heart vibration? When you show up and read our words, the energy you feel is the energy of the heart. We, as angels, can expand and increase the energy of the heart. What you give returns to you tenfold. Use your time in Your Open Classroom to become sensitive to the vibrations and energy that you feel while you are here. Every moment is an opportunity to grow closer to the great Oneness. As you read our words, allow yourself to be very relaxed. 

Angel Message #3 LOVE

Dear One,

From the great Oneness, the Unity that heals all separation, I, your Guardian Angel, come to you. Angels live and move and have their being in the Oneness. Our actions come not from ourselves alone, for we are Guided by the One whom we love and serve. We are eternally centered in the Stillness, where there is no separation, neither from the One, nor from each other. Here we are nameless, even though we have names. Our true name is the same as yours, which is Love. 

An Appeal by the Dalai Lama to the World-published 2015

A metaphor the Dalai Lama likes to use goes like this: The difference between ethics and religion is like the difference between water and tea. Ethics without religious content is water, a critical requirement for health and survival. Ethics grounded in religion is tea, a nutritious and aromatic blend of water, tea leaves, spices, sugar and, in Tibet, a pinch of salt.

"But however the tea is prepared, the primary ingredient is always water," he says. "While we can live without tea, we can't live without water. Likewise, we are born free of religion, but we are not born free of the need for compassion."

Angel Message #2 NOW

Dearest One,

In the great Oneness lies a great Stillness, which is Peace. In this peace there is endless patience without an opposite. If you have been wanting something for a very long time, striving and clamoring in your thoughts to get "that"--whatever it is--then you cannot have peace. You can have only an endless clamoring which tells you that what you have now, what you are now, is not enough, and so you must have "more" of something, even if you are not sure what that "more" might be. You have endless thoughts telling you that now is not okay. How do you think now feels when you endlessly tell it that it is not okay? That you do not love it? That it should be something different?

FANTASTIC

Yes--FANTASTIC-is what I have to say about the new angel messages you are leaving us in the school everyday, my Teacher. Just when I think our school cannot get any better, it does. I find I don't want to miss anything, not one day--because if I do, something new happens, and I have to get caught up.

Angel Message 1, January 1, 2016
