Voices of Angels

This is the time of year when the songs of angels come through loudly, voices resounding yet delicately musical in their joy filled songs. December and January are a time when the creative energies of all times and places converge. It has always been this way, regardless of spiritualities or religions of any creatures on any planets in any universe.

If we have the daring and willingness, it is now that we can sail down from our intellectual cliffs to live more deeply in our souls.

The angels are rejoicing both because of the time of year and for other reasons. They have been welcoming in the six million plus souls who have died in the Covid epidemic over the last two years. At the same time, they have also welcomed millions of other souls into heaven from this planet and across Creation.

They have seen many, many more souls than all of those who have gone Home born into life all over Creation.

The glory of the angels’ voices welcomes new life into Creation and Home.

Where are we in all of this? Are we singing with Creation?

Historically humans hear that the angels sing and then our brains hit a full stop. The angels sing. Heaven and earth resound. Period.

Yes, the angels fill heaven and earth with their singing. That is not the full story, though.

The harmonics of the universe heard by scientists recreates the singing of the angels. Angels’ voices are echoed by the universe’s vibrations. Both are the living energy that comes from the Creator into Creation.

Angels sing for a reason. Their songs bring us the outflowing brilliance of the Creator. They bring light into our lives. They make our lives lighter. The energy from the Creator in their songs keep us alive.

Whenever unexpected warmth and surprising goodness enter our lives, are we aware of the role angels have played in bringing these gifts? That is what happens for us. It’s nothing we worked for or earned. In spite of what we might think.

It happens. It’s in our lives because our Creator — that hidden, unknowable figure — gives it to us.

When we feel that doom has beset our lives, beset our world, it rarely occurs to us to consider the obvious. Which is that we have free will. It is our free will which, so often over the last century, has created diseases. It is our free will which has caused wars, genocide and so many other horrors.

That is not caused by angels’ voices.

That is not the will of God.

The angels don’t sing to bring death and destruction. The singing of the angels is like that time you were outside walking. You looked up and saw one perfect flower. You heard the perfect trill of a bird. Your lungs felt as though they were filled with goodness.

That is the creative energy passed on to us through the angels. It is a misnomer to say that such things are happenstance. That they are caused by the universe. The positive energy of Creation — grace, if you will — is beyond a created thing such as the universe.

On this New Year’s allow yourself to feel a breeze, the slightest touch, on your cheek when\re there is no breeze. It is a feather from an angel’s wing. The touch of its’ hand. It is you forgetting you are earthbound.

Forget yourself. Forget you are human. Unleash that part of your soul which recognizes the divinity within you.

Our very human souls hear the music of the heavens. The divine within us recognizes the Voice of the divine.

We have a multitude of opportunities. We can ignore what our souls hear and go bumbling blindly on through life. Or we may permit ourselves to hear that angelic music each day of our lives. Some people hear it more than others. We all hear as much as we hear.

We respond in our own way. We can choose to open our hearts, our minds and our souls ever further. We can respond to the angels’ invitations to continually perform spiritual calisthenics. We can reach ever deeper into our souls.

We can live with the angels.
