All we know

Of what they do above,

Is that they happy are,

and that they love.

Dear Lord:

Could you spare some Guardian Angels

To give us peace of mind

As our Children wander from us

And stretch the ties that bind ?

You have Heavenly Legions Father

Could you send us just a few

To guide our eager youngsters

As we give them Lord to you .

Oh Thank you, Thank you Father

And Oh our glad hearts sings

We're certain that just now we heard

The swish of passing wings!

Angels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become angels when they are sent. For the name angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit; you ask its office, it is that of an Angel, which is a messenger.  -- St. Augustine

Angels are students in Heaven and teachers on Earth.

"Oh look at all the angels

Choiring in the sky."

I called out to the people

who went unseeing by.

"The man is mad" the people said.

"Let none pay heed to him

Who looks at clouds and thinks he sees

a singing seraphim."

I do not mind my madness

What blest insanity

To have the power to look at clouds

And in a cloud to see

A singing host of angels

What if my mind allowed

Me to look at angels,

And only see a cloud!

James Dillet Freemen

Whenever a child dies, an angel comes down

from heaven, takes the child in its arms,

and spreading out its large white wings,

visits all the places that had been particularly

dear to the child. From the best-loved place the

angel gathers a handful of flowers, flying up again

to heaven with them. There they bloom more

beautifully than on earth. But that flower which is most loved

receives a voice, so that it can join the song

of the chorus of bliss.

Hans Christian Anderson

I've got my Guardian Angel watching over me;

Yet I must still step carefully.

I've been given the choice to decide;

But if I'm not careful I just might slide.

The same holds true for my spiritual walk.

I must take time with Jesus daily; and talk.

Cause if I'm not careful I could fall down;

Then my feet won't be on solid ground.

So I will live my life prayerfully;

And take each step through life carefully.

Then I'll be sure to keep

My Guardian Angel

Watching over me !

Danise Norwak Hahlbohm

Imagine riding in a car whose four cylinder engine is working on only three cylinders, and whose gasoline is diluted with water. The car will struggle along, using only a part of its inherent power. It might still get you where you want to go, but with difficulty (and probably not up the steep hills!).

At work, if we are running on only the power of mind , body, and emotions, we're running on only three cylinders. And if we find ourselves reacting to situations with anxiety, agitation, or anger - and feeling "there's not enough time to do our best" - we're using diluted fuel. What's missing?

The Eskimos, Maoris, Polynesians, Mongolians and the American Indians are some of the peoples that believe in the abilities of shamans.

The Theosophical Society began its settlement on the barren and windswept slopes of Point Loma in 1896. Led by Katherine Tingley, the group came to Point Loma to establish a community that would model the philosophical and humanitarian goals of Theosophy. The "White City" envisioned by Tingley was to be located on the extreme western edge of the North American continent but oriented toward India, the spiritual center of Theosophical beliefs. The blend of new world confidence, Victorian morality, a love of antiquity, and Indian spirituality created a unique community that found its expression in archit ...

Nimbus (Latin) A cloud, a luminous atmosphere surrounding a high adept or deity when appearing on earth. In Oriental and Christian art the representations of deities or saints have a nimbus surrounding the head. Equivalent to aureole, glory, aura, halo, and the feathers on the head and down the spine of American Indian chiefs.

Any being in a state of high spiritual and intellectual ecstasy is surrounded with a glory or brilliant, coruscating aura, which at times can even be perceived by the physical eye; sometimes this nimbus or glory surrounds the head more particularly, and at other times it surrounds the entire body. It is shot through with colors coruscating and flashing brilliantly in a most beautiful fashion, because the vital aura which surrounds every animate being in times of spiritual ecstasy is stimulated to unusual activity, and thus surrounds the being with splendor.

The sun in the heavens is a cosmic example, for the floods of sunlight which it pours forth are the vital aura, nimbus, or glory surrounding the solar heart. The adoption of the nimbus surrounding the heads or entire bodies of the Christian saints was a clear case of borrowing from the Orient, because from time immemorial the nimbus has been used there to signify spiritual ecstasy, as exemplified in large numbers of Buddhist images.

The core of Master Ching Hai’s teachings is diligent practice of the prescribed meditation on the inner light and sound. "Not until one becomes fully enlightened through meditation, Master Ching Hai says, will true happiness and permanent freedom from suffering be obtained."

Queztalcoatl

(Aztec - "feathered-serpent")

 An Aztec god of the air or a sun-god and a benefactor of their race who instructed them in the use of agriculture, metals and the like.

According to one account, Quetzalcoatl was driven from the country by a superior god and on reaching the shores of the Mexican Gulf promised his followers that he would return. He then embarked on his magic skiff for the land of Tlapallan.

The Great Bird-Serpent is the most powerful figure in Mexican mythology, and it was known and accepted as a god in ancient Mexico and Central America. Accordingly, he dominated the great early American civilizations, from the land of the Incas in South America, to the Pueblo Indians of the our southwestern desert; from Teotihuacan (Mexico City) on the high plateau to Chichen Itza in Yucatan, he is a prevailing motif on ancient monuments.

Sometimes with his jaws open, bifid tongue, and articulated spinal column, he is easily recognizable. At others, he seems to have been coded in an almost infinite variety of formalized patterns derived from his famous scales, or feathers.

To the ancients, Quetzalcoatl became the force for understanding the universe, as it was known before the introduction of modern religion by the Conquistadors of Spain. The god Quetzalcoatl represented, to the ancient peoples of Central and South America, the very essence of life.
