Messages for all

http://www.angelicmessages.org/index.htm

The Celestial angels (also known as Divine Love angels) share the messages at this site to assist humans with their souls' progression and provide guidance for improving our lives here on earth. As you will see, the angels focus on the availability of God's Divine Love and the importance of incorporating It into one's path of growth. You will also find loving, helpful, and supportive messages from the angels on a variety of other topics, as well as links to other Divine Love sites.




Who are the Celestial Angels?
The Celestial Angels were once mortals like you and I and have since been transformed by the Divine Love of our Father through sincere and earnest prayer, with faith, to our Father for the bestowal of His Divine Love. As our Father sends His Love into our souls, by means of His Holy Spirit, our souls are transformed from being created in the image of God into the very Essence and Nature of God. The inflowing of the Divine Love into our souls is the "New Birth" as it is the only way to True Salvation and Immortality. Jesus, a son of God, is the highest Celestial Angel and True Master and Founder of the Celestial Heavens.

God Wants You Happy

Yes, I know and now this truth is the title of a recently published book written by a Catholic Priest.

I haven't read it but I have received the message. Unfortunately, not from the Church from which I belong, but on my own. As many Sundays as I have sat, stood and knelt in the pews of "The Church" this was never the message I received. I had to step back, pull away and seek inside to receive this message directly. I sincerely give thanks to Father Jonathan Morris for stepping up and speaking out the truth of God that needs to be heard.

God Wants You Happy: From Self-Help to God's Help

May this book reveal to many, the many blessings God has in store for each of us.

Thoreau Thoughts

Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.

Men are born to succeed, not fail.

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.

Man is the artificer of his own happiness.
 
There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Henry David Thoreau
US Transcendentalist author (1817 - 1862)

Wowee, those sound like good numbers to me!

This year we are going to experience 4 unusual dates.1/1/11, 1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11 and that's not all...

Take the last 2 digits of the year in which you were born.... now add the age you will be this year, and the result will be 111 for everyone!!! For example - Harry was born in 1957 and will be 54 this year, so 57+54=111....Good eh!!!!!!!! This is the year of money!!! Also this year October will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 5 Mondays. This happens only once in 823 years. These particular years are known as "MONEYBAGS".

The Green Thing

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologized to her and explained, “We didn’t have the green thing back in my day.”

That’s right, they didn’t have the green thing in her day. Back then, they returned their milk bottles, Coke bottles and beer bottles to the store.

The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, using the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled. But they didn’t have the green thing back her day.

In her day, they walked up stairs, because they didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. They walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time they had to go two blocks. But she’s right. They didn’t have the green thing in her day.

Back then, they washed the baby’s diapers because they didn’t have the throw-away kind. They dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts – wind and solar power really did dry the clothes. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that old lady is right, they didn’t have the green thing back in her day.

Back then, they had one TV, or radio, in the house – not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a pizza dish, not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, they blended and stirred by hand because they didn’t have electric machines to do everything for you. When they packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, they used wadded
up newspaper to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap.

Back then, they didn’t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. They used a push mower that ran on human power. They exercised by working so they didn’t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she’s right, they didn’t have the green thing back then.

They drank from a fountain when they were thirsty, instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time they had a drink of water. They refilled pens with ink, instead of buying a new pen, and they replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But they didn’t have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar and kids rode their bikes to school or rode the school bus, instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. They had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And they didn’t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

But that old lady is right. They didn’t have the green thing back in her day.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!


RUDYARD KIPLING    1865-1936

Pieces of Illumination

Excerpt from the book In Illuminata by Marianne Williamson
There is a spiritual renaissance sweeping the world. Most people feel it, some deride it, many embrace it and no one can stop it. It is a revolution in the way we think.
Its torchbearers are a motley mix. Some are religious in a traditional sense, while some are not. Some are successful in the world, while some are not. Some of us genuinely like one another, while some of us do not. Some are politically liberal, while some of us are conservative. Some seek Truth in fellowship and some seek Truth alone. Some of us are old and some of us are young.

We are an assorted group, an unlabeled group, but together in spirit we are affecting the world in significant ways. We are turning away from a purely worldly orientation. We seek an ancient God and a modern God. We feel a current of change, a cosmic electricity running through our veins now. However disparate our personalities and interests, we all agree on one very important point: Mankind has come to a major crossroads, at which the spirit alone can lead us toward human survival.

We wage, in our way, a revolution based on love. We seek to replace an old, oppressive order, not so much politically or socially, but within our minds where it lives and works. We try to hate no one, for we recognize that hatred itself is the enemy. We hope to change the world into a place of grace and love.

More than we realize.


"There is an unseen life that dreams us; it knows our true direction and destiny. We can trust ourselves more than we realize, and we need have no fear of change."  John O’Donohue

Words have power

Although I knew I wasn’t helping myself by thinking of it, I couldn’t seem to drop the words from my mind, the words of another. Something said off the cuff that he most likely did not give another thought to. He didn’t need to, because I did.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” That little jingle easily rolls off my tongue. I wish that hurtful words thrown my way would never stick. “I am rubber, you are glue! Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks on you!” I know all this. I know that another’s words can only hurt me if they become mine when I repeat them in my mind. Oh, how I didn’t want them to become mine.

This made me think beyond myself, beyond the hurtful words, which I had heard only one time from the other. How many hurtful words are thrown carelessly in another’s direction? Often in the direction of those we love the most. Those words have the most potential to stick, the most potential to cause real damage. Maybe they were only said once but if not taken back they most often stick forever in the head and heart of the other. Playing like a broken record, repeating again and again in one’s mind.

Words do have power, even thoughtless words. Because I understand this I knew I could not keep them. If I kept the words they would become mine. “NO! I DON’T WANT THIS! HELP ME,” I pleaded, “TAKE THIS AWAY FROM ME!”

“DO NOT REPEAT IT MY PRECIOUS”

These very words came to my mind. Words of instruction. Words of love and words of endearment. Words I have never heard before. Words that I repeated again and again all today in my mind.

“MY PRECIOUS. DO NOT REPEAT IT MY PRECIOUS”

These words came not from me but to me, from a higher consciousness, my higher self, from a place of pure love, from God. I hear this voice quite often, this small still voice, which speaks of comfort, direction, wisdom and most of all love. No, the voice was not mine. I am certain of this. The words were not mine, not in the beginning.

“MY PRECIOUS”

What a loving term of endearment. For as much love I have known as a daughter, wife and mother I do not recall ever calling anyone or nor anyone calling me “my precious”.

“MY PRECIOUS, MY PRECIOUS, MY PRECIOUS”

As I repeat these lovely words again and again to myself tears run down my face. Warmth fills my chest and I am rapt in Divine Love. God love me this I know, because the small still voices tells me so.

“MY PRECIOUS, MY PRECIOUS, MY PRECIOUS”

These words are mine. I claim them. I keep them. I hold them dear. God’s love is for us all. I am not a chosen one. I am one who has chosen God.

WILL POWER


Only for a moment.
 
The gift of will power is given only to humans. Dog's don't have it. Think about it. Do you think a dog who resists snapping up a table scrap does such by any element of self control? No way! It's all a matter of conditioning and training.

Will power goes so very far beyond the common concept of self control. Not long ago I only understood the term to mean the ability to control one's own desires. The power to resist temptations of sensual pleasure. That concept of will power only goes so far and often seems quite unlike a power source but a constant battle. One battle of the will after another. Even within one's own being.

I am now coming to the understanding that each of our own wills is our source of power. A very real source of power that works as simply this statement. Whatever one wills one creates. That power is given to each of us by our creator. It's a power of choice.

We each have the power to choose our own way or God's way. It never has been a matter of a select few being God's chosen people. God has already chosen each of us by the mere fact of our creation and he created each of us with the power of choice. The power to recongnise choices and choose.

God does not force his will upon us. He is always here waiting to be found, acknowledged and chosen. It feels very special to be chosen doesn't it? It is. God wants to be chosen as well. God wants his love to be our source of power. He wants to pour his Divine Love into our very being. So that each of his children are filled with his power and have a radiant joy for life. Overflowing with his love. Spilling Divine Love out of them wherever they go and upon whomever they meet.

This Divine Love is God's gift available to each repentant heart, each selfless soul who thirsts for closeness to the father, who falls onto his knees surrendering his own will to God asking for God and his Divine Love to come into his heart-soul-spirit and fill his very being.

God is always here, always connected to each of us. It's like a direct phone line where God is the operator always on call. He's always online waiting to assist. Live Chat. It's up to each of us to pick up the phone, answer the call, ask for direction. We have to say that we want to be connected. We have to ask for help. We have to admit we can't do it alone. Then we need to shut up. Be quiet. Be still and listen. Listen to the quiet still voice within.We have to shut out the world and open to the universe. The abundant universe of possibility.We have to accept God's guidance and act only when inspired. Inspired action is following God's will given from within. It's a knowing, an urge. Impromptu action that just feels right. Without thought, you feel your way. Feel the good. Feel God. Feel God's will become your will.

When one's will is according to God's will good is created for all. When one truly surrenders his own will to God and asks that God work through him, "Thy will be done", life flows wonderfully. Gone is the constant inner battle of controlling one's own will.

The right path is shown. Daily bread is given. Green pastures appear. Trespasses are not counted. No evil is feared. God's name is hallowed. Love flows freely. Temptation ceases to exist. Thy kingdom comes. Thy will is done.

I pray again today that Thy will be done through me on earth as it is in heaven. So be it.

The Love of Your Life


Low and Belold by Debra Clemente


Heavenletter #188 Published on: May 5, 2001


God said:


How long you have searched for the love of your life! The lengths you have gone to! The time you have spent. All the effort, all the primping, all the book-reading, all the advice, all the attention you have put on finding a man or a woman who will sustain your heart forever. And some of you succeeded, and more of you did not.


It is much easier to find Me, and I am, in truth, the love of your life. Do not belittle Our relationship. I am not a second best. I am not when all else has failed. I am not second string. Have your Human loves, and be faithful to Me. Live life on Earth, and soar in Heaven.


We are compatible. All of Human life is compatible with Me.


Look, We are One. There is One Sun, but many rays of it. You are one ray. You are one of My rays. And you are equal to all others. Some shine on the east and some in the west or the north or south, and sometimes you are all-directioned. You radiate Me to and fro your Human loves.


Your love is like the rays of the Sun emitted by the Sun. You are a ray of the Sun, and the rays of the Sun, the light of love you shine, are Mine, for I am the Sun and you are My rays of it.

It is not that you have to love Me. It is that you have to accept My love so that you can beam it. It is My love you shine. The more you accept My light, the more you shine. The more you shine, the more you are in accord with My Will, for My Will is for My love to shine and to shine everywhere through you.


You have thought that you were always seeking love, to give it and receive it, but the truth is you have been afraid of it. You have had a sense that love really was foreign to your nature, as if it were a hat you picked up somewhere and put on and wore as a thief or imposter, when all the while the hat was truly yours — you were the hat! for love is your nature. Love is your nature. Love is the essence of you. Don't deny it.


When you are in your truth, you are love. When you are away from love, you are not in your truth. With or without love, an act may appear the same. Love doesn't mean acquiescence. It doesn't mean passion. It doesn't mean sacrifice. It doesn't mean absence of self. It means Self.


On a bad day, you will say you are not yourself. Never were truer words spoken. When you are out of sorts, you are out of your truth. That is what makes you so uncomfortable. You feel awry because you have distanced yourself from the love that you truly are. You can never be unlove. You can be distraught, however. Distraught means distracted. You actually are quite skilled at distracting yourself from the true love that you are, and therefore from My love. You cannot undo My love or yours, but you can distract yourself. You do distract yourself. And when you distract yourself, you distract others as well. When you are distracted, you are not seeing. You are seeing something that isn't there. And then everyone else seems to see what you think you see.


Be My light rays. You already are. Let My light radiate from you. Do not frown. Frowning blinds you to yourself. Let yourself shine My beautiful light in all its glory.

Divine Love

By: Dr Emmet Fox (1886-1951)


My soul is filled with Divine Love,
I am surrounded by Divine Love.
I radiate Love and Peace to the whole world.
I have conscious Divine Love.
God is Love, and there is nothing in existence but God and His Self-expression.
All men are expressions of Divine Love; therefore, I can meet with nothing but the expressions of Divine Love.
Nothing ever takes place but the Self-expressing of Divine Love.
All this is true now.
This is the actual case, the actual state of affairs.
I do not have to try to bring this about, but I observe it already in being now.
Divine Love is the actual nature of Being.
There is only Divine Love, and I know this.
I perfectly understand what Divine Love is.
I have conscious realization of Divine Love.
The Love of God burns in me for all humanity.
I am a lamp of God, radiating Divine Love to all whom I meet, to all whom I think of.
I forgive everything that can possibly need forgiveness-positively everything.
Divine Love fills my heart, and all is well.
I now radiate Love to the whole universe, excluding no one.
I experience Divine Love.
I demonstrate Divine Love.
I thank God for this.

This may mean that we need to silence these other “voices” by recognizing that God’s goodness is the only message we want to receive, and it is the only one that’s relevant to our situation. As we silence the material senses, we will be better able to hear God’s guidance and to see His goodness at work in our lives.

DON'T WORRY

The don't worry movement, a wave of spiritual emancipation: A gospel of Christian optimism

Theodore Frelinghuysen Seward,  published 1898


Spiritual Exercises

The spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius.

Have you heard of this before? I had not until recently, as a result of one of my deep searches for Truth. It appears to me that the Catholic Church has held these writings in high regard but thought the messages contained were of only of service to the priestly not the masses. I believe there in contains much for all. Certainly food for all. Food for thought.

Worth exploring

On my quest for truth, I am continually being made aware of the illuminated visions and paths of so many that came before me here on earth. Many mystic traditions, hidden, now revealed anew.

The similarities are striking. The stories told reverberate the same Truth. So many ask how can this be? Did these sages of old learn this wisdom from one another? Most likely not as vast expanses of time, land, and water separate these wisdom traditions. Many of which have been lost for ages. Hidden then lost. Appearing again to new eyes and new hearts, for those with ears to hear and eyes to see. 

So what then could be their common source? I say, THE SOURCE OF ALL.

My most recent interest of inquiry is the Kabbalah, the mystic tradition of Judaism. Kabbalah states that the Creator created all the worlds simultaneously, including our world, and we human beings have to use Kabbalah in our world, the finite material world. In order to further advance our understanding of the wisdom of Kabbalah, we need to lift our mind's eye above the horizon of our material world. Kabbalah clarifies our perception of reality. Below I have linked the book, The Kabbalah - The Mystic Quest in Judaism By Christian David Ginsburg, published in 1865, which I am just beginning to read in an attempt to grasp the spiritual insights therein.

coincidence = synchronicity

What a coincidence.
What about those seemingly random concurrently occurring events?
Are they really random?
Nope, not at all.

LIFE is so much more than a series of random acts and events. 
There exists a greater unseen force working behind the scene. 
As I have grown an understanding of the value of such phenomena,
I pay careful attention to each occurrence which comes to my awareness.
The words of others which follow best explain my own current understanding.

Carl Jung called these meaningful coincidences in seemingly random events synchronicity.
When you begin seeing coincidences as life opportunities, every coincidence becomes an opportunity for creativity. Every coincidence becomes an opportunity for you to become the person the universe intended you to be.  - Deepak Chopra, SPONTANEOUS FULFILLMENT OF DESIRE - Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence

-------------
Synchronicity is the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer. -- Carl Jung
------------
 Synchronicity is usually confirmation of whatever it is you are engaged in at the moment. Many people who continually experience meaningful coincidences, acknowledge them to be a kind of personal guidance. The perfect timing arrivals by the right person at the right place is commonly regarded as providential. They are paths our lives may take into the future and by which our personal destinies evolve. People who accept synchronicities as guidance embrace “the authentic life,” which is following our own truth, regardless of the consequences. This is the high destiny that the ancient Greeks called moira which is offered to every human. All synchronicities are indeed signs pointing us in a specific direction at the most opportune moment.

Synchronicity happens to everyone but the person far best qualified to comprehend them is the one whom they occur to. They are personal gifts from a great, caring intelligence responsible for the destiny of the universe. The full appreciation of synchronicity is nothing less than our personal connection with the higher intelligence of the universe. Synchronicities can be seen as little miracles through which an unseen and non-forceful consciousness manifests itself into our lives.

http://www.mindreality.com/synchronicity-meaningful-coincidence-in-life

--------------
Synchronicities are events that happen when the universe is trying to tell you something, just as a signpost or mile marker would give you information while traveling in a car. Amazing situations happen when your inner awareness changes. Your energetic thoughts and intents and direction of interests and desires will align with all the natural vibrations around you coalescing into a harmony of vibrational relationships.


The Universe is always willing and waiting to show you something wonderful. Synchronicities bring to light information for your waking consciousness along with your sub/unconscious aspects of your selves gently guiding and directing you to what is in alignment with your own personal growth. Synchronicities whisper into your soul a hint for you to watch and wait. "Expect the unexpected!"

Finders Seekers

Those with ears to hear, hear and those with eyes to see, see.

Forgive them, they know not what they do.

Seek and ye shall find.


Jesus was speaking directly to those heeding the true messages within his words. He realized that for the majority the true value of his statements would not register. Thus go in one ear and out the other. The information Jesus heralded as the "Good News" has never been meant to be secret knowledge it's just that it's value has gotten lost as error interpretations have been celebrated and taught by unknowing masses. One eventually finds whatever one is looking for. Look for peace, find peace. Look for God, find God. Find peace in God.

When one comes upon something of value, he may take no notice of it if he wasn't seeking it. Perhaps not even acknowledging it's existence. Yet one who comes upon the same thing (idea or object) and was in search of it, recognizes it's value thus treasuring what is found. The finder is delighted and shouts for joy in celebration and is anxious to share their joy with others. But unless the others were as well seeking for themselves what the finder has found they will not be able to recognize the value of the found as percieved by he seeker of such.

The joy in finding is mostly for the finder yet others will recognize the finders joy and though not percieving the value of the found will still benifit from the joy expressed and shared by the finder. The seeker/finder says "Look here, I found what I was seeking! I'm so happy! Don't you want this too? I want my happiness to be yours as well." He trys to tell in ways they can hear but their minds get in the way. They believe they know the way of the world and believe that such joy is not possible for them as yet. As it does not make sense to them they call it nonsense.

So as the seeker/finder observes the others continue to chase their tails and dig their own graves he refrains from judgement reminding himself, "they know not what they do." He who has found hopes that his continued and growing joy glows so brightly that others may take notice and ask how they as well can have such joy for themselves. Then as true seekers they will find.

Live the Good Life! Live the God Life!
