Words strung together in wondrous ways become works of art. Everything is a color that comes from the light that comes from God. Wise and wonderful words are colors angels use to paint the pictures God wants painted. Meaningful words strung together in an artistic way can have the effect, not only of educating the mind, but also of stunning it into silence. This is one reason why the same ideas are repeated in these lessons, and in life, by so many teachers of wisdom.
There is art, and there is the observation of art. Moments of perfect art—a sunrise, a birth, a melody—can have the effect of stunning the mind into silence. In such moments, the separation that is at the root of suffering vanishes.
So you can see that everyone experiences moments of perfect art, moments of enlightenment, moments of complete absorption when ego disappears. These moments can also happen when we are completely absorbed in work or play. Children easily enter into imagination, becoming one with whatever game they are playing. Since we were all children once, we all have this ability, even if we have forgotten it. It is meditation. It is unison. It is peace.
Angels are always completely absorbed in the moment. This is why we say that an angel with a job is like a child at play.
