03 The Personality Of An Angel

The concept of ‘angels’ is common. We are surrounded by historical and spiritual accounts of the activities of angels, and in every country of the world we see their memorials in works of art and sculpture. But what are angels? Are they merely enlightened human beings? Do they live here or somewhere else? Do they participate in human activity or merely bless it?

Conceived in the deep silence of a mountaintop ashram in northern India, these enable the speaker to express her concept of how angels work, what they do, what they look like, and what makes them as they are. This is conducted by Anthea Church.

The personality of an angel.

The personality of an angel is like a flower.

It is what it is and that is lovely.

There's nothing you wish to add to it and being near it you are heartened and refreshed.

The personality of an angel is also a present.

It's always there though it may have little more to do with the scene around it than to be a contrast on which to rest your eyes.

Though sometimes also it's a place of reconciliation for in its presence conflicting feelings meet within it and harmonise.

The personality of an angel is a view that all will love for it is natural like the softness of the hills.

It has no inhibitions and nor does it impose.

It's childlike for behind its actions there is no motive.

Its mind is already absorbed elsewhere and so what is done and is visible is simply as it is.

To act alongside an angel is to act with someone for whom everything is new and easy.

There is accomplishment with no struggle and even the smallest things are joyful just as anything you do for the first time so often is.

An angel's personality is deep though involved with no one stretching only to God he knows the world's show profoundly.

The shapes the forms and colours of people's moves and he slips through them enhancing the scenes and aware of the traps.

He is not a warrior for in a warrior there is still some stupidity that puts him at risk.

The personality of an angel is multifaceted.

It is expressive in many places at once at different levels in different ways but each one of those facets meets the other as an equal.

Where a human personality is torn between a thousand priorities an angel moves from one to another dancing through.

The secret of this is that an angel has conquered time.

For him a minute can hold a thousand years for he measures things by love and the weight that small deeds carry makes him light.
