Some Lessons Learned From the Angels<\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Live in integrity.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The angels said to me, “Spend your time<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

doing activities that match your highest intentions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Let go of things that your intuition prompts you to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

surrender. Those things may then either become<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

healed so that you enjoy them, or else<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the activity will easily drop away.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The angels urged me to trust my heart.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They assured me that I would be safe to<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

turn down work that didn’t match my true interests.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I quickly found that the angels were right!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. There is only now.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“You are complete and whole now.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t cast your eyes on what tomorrow<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

may bring \u2014 this implies you are<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

imperfect or lacking now, and that<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you will be whole when something external<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

comes into your life in the future.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When the angels said this, I realized that I<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

had been living for the future. My focus was<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

on what tomorrow would bring me,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

instead of my present blessings. I now make<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

a mental “gratitude list” each night.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. All conflict is inside your mind.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Any conflict you see or experience in the outside world<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

is a projection of your ego. In truth, the world is completely<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

at peace and you project your fear of peace onto the world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You don’t want to resolve your inner conflict, but you do want<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to get it away from yourself. So, you project it onto other<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

people and think that ‘they’ are the ones who are causing<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you discomfort. Other people are neutral, blank slates and<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you color them with your own meaning and definitions.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then, you react to them as if these colorations and definitions<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

were real. Other people, in turn, treat you in the way that<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

you expect, in a self-fulfilling prophecy.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the angels explained this, I realized how often<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had allowed fear to create miserable times for me.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But always, I had the power to choose the thoughts<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and feelings I ascribed to all situations.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Judge not.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“You judge others as a way of protecting yourself,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to keep them away from you so you won’t get close<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

to them and get hurt. But we have told you that you<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

don’t need to think about your safety. You are safe,<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and an overwhelming thought pattern of concern about<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

your safety can bring the very thing you fear into your life.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The angels explained that we draw to us whatever<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

we think about. If I obsessively think about physical<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

or emotional danger, I create a climate in which my<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

worst fears come true. With practice, I began noticing<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

the moment when I’d judge other people. I began<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

releasing my fears to the angels, and felt my<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

judgmental habits gradually disappear.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
