| Crossing the Angel's
Bridge "The perfect peace of the holy angels derives from their two fixed attitudes: Their love of God and their love for each other. The same applies to the saints of all the ages. This is why it is most truly said: 'On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.' " -- Maximus the Confessor by Nate Griggs CAIRO, Egypt -- The Sun burns with spectacular intensity in a hazy Egyptian sky as I write this article from my dorm on Zamalek Island, Cairo. Sent here by spiritual guides and angels, the last two months have been an adventure spanning from the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid to the top of Mount Sinai, and everything in between. I write to you with the hope that my efforts to communicate the angel's teachings will enhance your personal journey through the mysteries of life! Desert mothers and fathers Through the desert monks of Egypt, Syria and Palestine, we have learned that the concept of progressing towards personal and existential divinity was rooted in the very core of early mystical Christianity. The desert mothers and fathers spent entire lifetimes devoted to the union of their existence with the divine. How can we even hope to achieve what they spent countless hours pursuing? "...The spiritual intellect is purified by divine fire; a psychic opening of the eyes of the heart occurs, and the Logos is born in us, who brings mystical discernment of the highest order..." --Niketas Stethatos First: We must recognize a new reality of enlightenment in which we progress faster and closer to divinity than ever before. Presently existing among us are millions of people who decided before being born into this world to make it their life's work to help humanity enter the new era of enlightenment. These people are literally existing all around you. They could be your child, your best friends, or even you! These people, and the highly evolved angels that have been guiding them, will enable humanity to more fully understand the elements of their personal divinity and learn how to progress through life as loving beings of God's eternal kingdom. Second: If what you do is done out of agape (love), you will see God. "The Savior told us: 'Blessed are the pure of heart for they will see God.' And they will see him, and all the treasures he keeps hidden within, when they have purified themselves with love and self control. The greater their purification, the clearer their vision." -- Maximus the Confessor All powers in the universe can be traced back to the forces of love and fear, which will either enable our progression towards divinity, or make it nearly impossible to do so. Therefore, we have a choice to make: We may either live lives based on love, or choose not to. The sanctity of life is revealed to those who seek to discover it. Throughout our lives, we are faced with the consequences of our actions, so take a good and honest look at your life. Ask yourself if what you do has been done out of love or if what you do has been done out of fear. The fruit of these decisions will contain the sweet essence of life or the sharp failure to live for all its worth. Your existence is the embodiment of these choices. Third: If what you do is done out of fear for yourself, you will move only further away. There is hope for those who find themselves lost and guided by fear -- just as there is empowerment for those who walk along a gently guided path surrounded with love and light. This hope is activated by the power of free will and the power of your personal resolve to live the life you envision for yourself. This may be an extremely hard process to begin, but remember: Angels and those in spirit form who have aligned themselves with divine love are a prayer away. They want to help you progress through life, and they are overjoyed when we seek to fill our lives with the core of God's existence. They are experts in the dialogue of love and fear, because they are in direct communion with the purest word of God. It's this wisdom that God has bestowed upon humanity many times in the past, and continues to do so presently with the help of people and angels who have agreed to be a part of our next enlightenment. Through love you will witness the actualization of God's existence within the life you live. "...Let us worship you in the eternal light. Let us rise up from the dead and dance in that blessed, eternal, and unbreakable ring...our dancing with the angels." -- Thalassios the Libyan An angel's teaching The following is an angel's teaching that focuses on the Holy Spirit. It relates to our personal connection with the love of God, and is one of many teachings that may help us find our way to the other side of the angel's bridge. "The second enlightenment will change the course of humanity, and the lessons we will teach you are to be combined with the renewal of God's covenant with mankind. These are the words of God, and in love we share them with you: "Many people think of the Holy Spirit as an abstract concept that they have heard about, but never felt capable of understanding in a way that made the connection between human and God undeniable. "Fear is the only reason humanity has shied away from the Holy Spirit, for the forces of fear halt progression. Progression towards God is the beauty of life. "Fear is the only reason an undeniable connection between the earthly world and the next, the eternal world, fails to exist. "To "imagine" the light of God within you, is to, in truth ...see the light of God within you. It is as tangible as a flower or flame. The light of God -- the Holy Spirt, exists within you. "Take this a step further...imagine that it is not a 'piece' of the Holy Spirit that exists within you, but that it is a powerful spring of pure energy. A Spring of light that begins within the deepest parts of God's existence and flows through the eternal divide to reach the purest core of your existence, from which it emanates as the exhilarating waters of light. "Imagining the light of God flowing from the source of all love directly to the core of one's existence enables a direct relationship with God to exist within that person, and from this point forward, she will experience the mysteries of the universe like never before."
