Quote from Inspiration Line 4/9/08 Angels
can help us understand what intuition means in a personal way. Angels are actually
in charge of a large part of our intuitive self. Viewing intuition from the perspective
of angel consciousness, we can say that intuition is our way of tapping into a
higher power for guidance and awareness.”

You will see angels as you need to see them. Sometimes you may see only a burst

Quote from Inspiration Line 11/5/07 Contemporary
Angel accounts are frequently about unpredictable encounters that have personal
significance in the lives of otherwise average people. Most accounts involve some
wonderful or mysterious being who appeared when
most needed and who was usually
only recognized as an Angel in retrospect.

Quote from Inspiration Line 4/17/06 Angels
come to help and guide us in as many guises as there are people who need their
assistance. Sometimes we see their ethereal, heavenly shadow, bright with light

sometimes they look no different from ourselves.

— Arthur Schopenhauer A
human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part
limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as
something separated from the rest — a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves
from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely,
but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and
a foundation for inner security.
— Albert Einstein The
world we are experiencing today is the result of our collective consciousness,

— Rosemary Fillmore Rhea, from New Thought
for a New Millennium In
our concern for others, we worry less about ourselves. When we worry less about
ourselves an experience of our own suffering is less intense. What does this tell
us? Firstly, because our every action has a universal dimension, a potential impact
on others’ happiness, ethics are necessary as a means to ensure that we do
not harm others. Secondly, it tells us that genuine happiness consists in those
spiritual qualities of love, compassion, patience, tolerance and forgiveness and
so on. For it is these which provide both for our happiness and others’ happiness.
