An excerpt from this book is printed in Spiritual Insights from WECAN Press. This is another example of a recommended book from the Sophia Hearth Training Book List. I am really finding this book fascinating. After Yoga Practice in the Morning, I try to find the time to read the days verse from Calendar of the Soul and an excerpt from Spiritual Insights. "And if we add a third phrase to the prayerful form, 'For my thinking I am grateful to the angels, and for speech I thank the archangels.' Then it would be, 'For my place within the sphere of physical and moral forces in earthly existence, I thank the archai, who have themselves received this power from even higher beings.' " ..."But the point of real importance is that, during sleep, we shall approach these three hierarchies of the angeloi, archangeloi, and archai in a worthy way." The text goes on to say that how a human relates to these angeloi depends on how they act in their waking life...with regard to thinking, speaking, and right use of movement and moral will.
These concepts really speak to me. I have had an affinity for angels from a very young child. I would have imaginary play with angel friends. I hope to connect with them again as an adult.
Today involved a very very trying morning at the Cape May County Zoo. I thought it would be a nice outing for myself, my soon to be five year old and my mother. Well my Curtis was in a foul mood from the morning, and had a full blown temper tantrum in front of the giraffes. I said many silent prayers to the angeloi. After about a 30 minutes of me waiting patiently on a bench nearby while he screamed unreasonable demands at me. This was then followed by me moving him closer to the bench out of people's way whom he had starting throwing kicks at and telling him that this was a safe place to cry in. I remained clam...I spoke softly...Finally I got him into my arms and he started to calm down. Then I told him we needed to leave the zoo. He didn't like that as we were only a third of the way through....but that's what happens when there's rudeness and tantrums...we leave. He was calmer as I carried him on my back to the van. Also, my mother did not interfere...which was definitely an act of god. Thank you, angeloi, for helping me help Curtis.
Lovely thoughts on the angels, I love Angels like you do, and have asked for help many a time and thank them for all their care of me. You did well with your wee man,such situations are not easy, and what an understanding Mother you have , who is listening to how you choose to bring your child up. cheers Marie
