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.

"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.
