Message From Your Angels

By Dr. Doreen Virtue

You who seek answers will find them, as you consult your own angels while reading our words. We are those who are among you night and day, and who steadfastly refuse to see you in any way except by the holy light that burns within you. We are your unwavering friends, your ceaseless companions, and your continuous comrades. We, your angels, hover slightly above you only because we are unmired by Earth’s soiled viewpoints about existence. Where you may see hope-lessness, we always see hope. Where you may see ravaged scars, we always see health. Where you may experience prolonged agony, we always see the way out of pain.

We are your champions, your allies, your greatest admirers, and your dynamic coaches. We are your angels, and we shall love you throughout eternity. How could it be any other way? Without love, we would all cease to be. And since God’s handiwork can never be erased or confiscated, love can never diminish. And love, you understand, is who you are. Your love is unwavering, like a steady flame, undaunted by the wind around it. Your love is happiness, is peace, is immortality, and is abundantly cared for.

You need not travel an arduous or treacherous journey to arrive home. You are already there. All of your needs are provided for as we seek to help you climb the wall to escape the products of your own nightmares. We are in the self-made prison with you, urging you to choose escape. We help you traverse the walls, and safely transition to your realization of complete freedom—freedom from all worries, cares, and concerns. . .if you so choose.

For some among you would choose otherwise, believing that pain is inescapable. Or rather, that pain is a necessary component to this process that you call “life.” Yet, we are here to testify otherwise. That other choices can and do exist, and you can simply erase the bad effects of other choices with your holy and mighty will. You, who are all-powerful, have this “escape clause” scripted within your very being.

Pain is one means to growth—yes, this is quite true. Yet, you have heard us angels counsel you on other variables at your disposal. For ultimately you are already “grown.” You are the product of Divine creation, and as such, you are already completely formed in all ways. Your learning, then, is illusory. “Learning” is actually “unlearning,” where you forget your ego-established ideas. You lessen the pull of the ego, and gradually replace its lens with that of your higher self. You grow by unlearning the ego’s perilous thought system and recalling your Divine origin. Do you need pain to unlearn this, when pain is the ego’s primary creation? Surely, you witness the circular reasoning the ego uses to keep you fascinated with its growth loop. Nothing can permeate the ego’s defense system, and your escape is merely to step away and remember love.

Divine love always has been, and always will be, the answer that you seek. No matter what form it comes packaged in, this fact is inescapable. Nor would you want to escape love’s holiness, and its pristine appreciation for who you truly are. Here is the all-encompassing womb you have been seeking. Here is the holy kiss and embrace that you crave. Here is the soulmate of all soulmates: It is your own Divine love.

Learn then, through unlearning mistakes in consciousness that formerly told you about mistakes in your creation. Grow, also, through recalling your holy origin. Learn and grow gently, through unlearning pain and remembering love, and you shall unravel the entanglements that once snared you. Let not one more moment slip by without an awareness of the pulsating love that beats steadily within you like a drum’s rhythms, perfectly synchronized with God’s outpouring of joy.

You are God’s greatest triumph, and as you revel in your recovered awareness of this plain fact, allow us angels to slip off all layers of painful soot collected through your travels. Allow us to dust away sad memories and unpleasant journeys. Your new aspects await you, as graceful as a ballerina, as gentle as a lily pad, and as secure as any fortress. You are home, you are safe, and you are loved. Now and always.

LIFE PATH

Every moment of your life is an opportunity to serve, and thus, is an opportunity to be joyful. Your service can be to the living planet or any of its inhabitants. One of the reasons why we angels are so joyful is that we are continuously focused upon giving service. This does not mean being a martyr or a doormat—oh, no, far from it! Such negative connotations occur when giving comes from a sense of guilt or obligation. That type of giving helps neither the giver nor the recipient. But giving from a place of abundance, where you know that you have much to give, brings joy to all. We are not focusing the word giving on material giving necessarily. The giving and service can be as simple as feeding a hungry animal or smiling at a lonely child. And by so doing, you are given to in abundance.
