A strongly held belief, or a full knowing, of angels allows our limited human world view to break open. The fact that we are not alone in the Universe, as we have been led to believe by scientific materialism, opens up the human psyche to the deeper mysteries of life.
Because we have angels who guide us , when we do allow for their existence,
we gradually start comprehending that there is a vast plan afoot: A master
plan that has always been the cosmic template leading to the extraordinary
events ahead. When this is understood it sometimes comes in the form of
visions and sometimes through an inner certainty that we are ultimately
cared for by the larger Universe and that everything is on-track and perfect.
The fact that we encounter our angels before the possibly even greater ontological
shock of contact--to use Dr. John Mack’s term for the conscious impact
of the ET presence on an abductee’s beliefs--with our extraterrestrial
cousins, appears to be part of the natural growth of the larger planetary
wisdom.
There is something of the gardener is all this. As a gardener might nurture
his genetic successes, pruning, splicing and setting challenges to strengthen
a species, so must angels tend and guide human bloodlines through the course
of history. The Urantia revelation tells us that life itself was implanted
on this planet by an angelic group whose function it is to design the biosystems
and to set the course of evolution on inhabitable worlds.
The growth of a human species is clearly of great importance to the angelic
realms. They tell us that this is because it is their function to mold ever-better,
more capable physical vehicles for the Great Spirit that inhabits us. They
ask us to be bold and courageous as we face life, and to take on its challenges
willingly and to know that as we do so, we set a corrective stamp on the
world mind. Each of us, by making these small adjustments to the way we
approach life ( and we all know what those adjustments ought to be), can
be part of the larger corrective impulse that is helping swing humanity
out of its self-destructive orbit.
Massive changes are on their way. We all know this is our guts. We see the
changes in the weather patterns; the steadily increasing hole in the ozone;
water pollution and over-fishing; the rising onslaught of militarism; the
interminable strife and the cruelty of East Timor, the Balkans or Iraq;
the list can become endless. We see all this on our TVs, or it’s in
our faces if we live in cities, and the almost overwhelming temptation is
to get pulled into the fear, into the cauldron of out-of-control emotionality.
It is at these times that it is vital to learn to turn to our angels. This
opening not only provides correct and appropriate guidance when we really
need it but, as importantly, it also reinforces our expanding understanding
of a benign and loving Universe, in which we are ultimately cared for.
The ability to listen to our angels, to our own inner guidance system, is
precisely one of the most important factors that this period of intense
challenges is all about. Knowing where we are supposed to be and what we
are truly meant to be doing, will be a sure passport through the chaos of
the next twelve years.
To continue the metaphor of the gardener one step further would be to appreciate
that a responsible nurturing hand would never allow the garden to devolve
totally out of control--although it sometimes might seem that way from within
the system. This planet is of far more value (apparently) to the larger
Universe frame than most of its inhabitants can have any idea.
Or, to use another convenient metaphor: If the Universe is, in fact, a University
for the continuing education of souls, would any responsible teacher allow
the students to destroy themselves, or the kindergarten? And in a Universe
as large and as densely populated as this one appears to be, the growth
and evolutionary development of such scrawny will-creatures such as ourselves
must be a very well understood process. Risky, of course. Especially when
they reach any level of technological hubris. But certainly no real problem.
To realize that we have all the help and guidance in the world goes a long
way towards broadening our understanding of what is going on around us.
As world affairs continue to heat up, as nature appears to rebel against
us more and more, as the animal emotions rise to the surface to be released,
as all these signs that we are at the end of a long cycle manifest, governments
will use the fear generated by these convulsions to further attempt to pacify
their populations. At this point, all our training and development, our
surrenderings and openings, our facing of our fears, all the immense challenges
of spiritual growth will slip into a new gear. It will be quite clear what
needs to be done. As in John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany, his
magnificent exploration of faith and predestination, we will wake up to
see that everything of value in our lives has led irrevocably to these moments
of truth.
This is why the angels have assured us that the transition to come will
ultimately be a smooth one. It is truly a massive plan, involving angels
and ETs alike, and whomever amongst us humans have aligned ourselves with
a positive transformation. It is not the chaos that it will appear to be
from the inside. What we are about to go through is well understood. For
example, entities from the star system Arcturus say that they are here observing
and extending a helping hand to any who can respond to them, because they
went through just such a transformation themselves a few thousand years
ago.
If we aspire ourselves to be good gardeners, then surely we must accord
our angels the similar dignity. We may well imagine that our world situation
is slipping into darkness, but I doubt very much whether the angels see
it in this way. With their wider perspective they nurture the good that
is emerging, knowing that the very best of us will rise to the occasion.
If we can hold firmly to the belief that everything is in good hands, even
though it may look chaotic in the short term, then we are all the more capable
of listening to their subtle guidance and of being of the service for which
our long period of training has so well prepared us.
