Understanding What Is An Angel (Part 2)
In Christian mythology, angels are commonly shown as small children with wings –
this is symbolic of the fact that angels are very innocent and pure, untouched by
vices like anger, greed, lust, ego, hatred, jealousy, etc. (so are children). The
purity of an angel is depicted in mythology in the form of an aura of subtle light
or a halo around the head.
An angel’s love for humanity is unlimited, yet it is completely detached as the
Supreme. An angel experiences that whatever comes through it in the form of thoughts,
words or actions has the effect of blessing other souls, as if it is able to perceive
or judge immediately or instinctively what each soul needs and cater to their needs.
This act of blessing others is depicted in the form of a magic wand. Angels are
commonly shown with magic wands in their hands, with which they shower blessings
on others.
An angel’s thoughts, words and actions are all serving others. An angel is a lighthouse,
mighthouse, connected with the Supreme; it radiates the spiritual rays of light
and might, the love, peace, happiness and power of the Supreme Soul, to others.

Message for the day 26-11-2012
----------------------------------------------------------
Perfection comes when there is positivity in thoughts.
Expression: When we are faced with any weakness of ours, we usually think
about it so much that it is totally blown out of proportion and it seems bigger
than it actually is. This leads to negative thinking, which in turn doesn't let
us work on improving ourselves. We will then just remain the way we are, not being
able to bring about progress.
Experience: What we need to do in order to win over our weakness is to change
our focus. Instead of thinking about the weakness, we only need to think, "I am
not perfect yet, but I am working towards it and I am slowly improving." With such
positive thoughts, our negativity will finish.
