Becoming Angelic by Terry Lynn Taylor Spiritual creativity is a way of life, a way of wholeness. It is a path of integrity. Integrity entails not just a few beliefs or specific acts, but an attitude that we adopt and practice in our everyday lives. Loving yourself, falling back in love with yourself as a child of God, is the first step in the process of spiritual integrity. The word "process" is important; this is not an overnight or a sudden change you make in your life, but rather an ongoing process that can bring you much joy. Is there any better feeling than truly expressing your own special brand of love to the world? This takes spiritual integrity, walking your talk, and the angels teach you this integrity through creativity. Become A Co-Creator Creating character is also a process of becoming more angelic. By angelic, I don't mean becoming or continuing to be "nice". "Niceness" is a screen we use to control and to decide whether we like others. "Oh, they are so nice," we say. What does this mean? Usually it means that they have done just what we wanted them to do. Angels aren't always "nice," meaning they don't always do exactly what we want them to do. No matter what, the angels are always true to the Creator. Spiritual integrity is creative wholeness. We are co-creators, and we have the choice to create a beautiful, spiritual existence for ourselves. At some point, we experience a revelation and the angels show us that to be truly happy is to be of service to the Creator out of joy and love. Our lives then become a creative journey for the glory of God. I know in my heart that the angels want us to co-create more hope, joy, beauty, peace, and love for the world. If we took all of these wonderful qualities out of the picture, we would have a gray, dreary world with few happy people. Sometimes when I watch the news or pay too close attention to the negative events in the world, I start to think the beautiful aspects of life are becoming extinct. It is up to us to keep hope, joy, beauty, peace, and love alive on the earth, and the best way we can do this is with our own creativity. Angels cannot ignore the basic principles that build strength of character. Even if there were an easy way out, they wouldn't provide it. Angels are always loving, and they want us to start finding pure love, which is a basic energy, not a condition of "niceness" and being liked by others. Becoming angelic doesn't mean pleasing everyone; it means staying true to yourself, your values, your integrity, your Creator. If you think you don't have values, integrity, or a Creator, then this may seem impossible to you; but even so, you can begin to develop integrity and become aware of your values. The angels are here to help you. Let the angels know that you are willing to help them increase the light and co-create beauty, love, hope, joy, and peace on earth. The angels are actively recruiting volunteers now, and they have chosen you. This article was excerpted from the book: Creating With The Angels: An Angel Guided Journey by Terry Lynn Taylor.

I believe labels come forth from people not looking deeper than the surface, the use of terms such as nice, pleasant, mean, weak, fun, friendly, etc attempts to bypass the truth that we are all more than is seen. Rarely can a label sum up the totality of any individual or even broad group. In truth, spiritual beingness is a vast array of many talents and depths to which most of us are not privy to the fathomless in-ness of others except on a superficial level. A state of true kindness is a beauty to behold and engage with regardless of the label given it, persons always come away the better for having encountered those who live it. Harmlessness being the foundation from which all other spiritual qualities come forth, for love is ultimately harmless. There are many others who are engaged in the life service of forging those who refuse to conform to worldly ideas of what all others should be and so it is not our general spiritual task to bring fire to meld souls into states that we consider right for them for each has a blueprint of their very own and there are taskmasters assigned throughout the Earth who hold that fiery position in life of hammering others into social acceptedness whether right or wrongly. We are assigned the task of loving Source, self and others whether this is termed by some as niceness or not does not alter the true purpose of each incarnate being to put on the loving as a mantle of interaction with self and others. Harmlessness is not based on pleasing others but on pleasing the Source and the otherness within ourselves in which all are honored whether in our worldly terminology they are considered worthy of kind interactions or not for they contain the seed of God/Us within. WE can go forth into the world and do it nicely, kindly, with honor and WITHOUT passively pleasing others or conforming to labels which some place upon those they cannot understand. When it comes to being angelic, WE are that and more only because we are created in the image of Source and are infinite in expansion. There is no practice there is only beingness. The beingness of which we are constantly partaking through which we share our inner selves with those we come in contact with. In each we encounter, it is choice whether to accept the others as surface appearance or take the time to engage their deeper soulfulness. Either way it is the genuineness that forges the character whether great or small in life. We are more than our labels and even our names for we are the breath of life. And so it is and ever shall be because of the Source of All That Is and in that the Angels sing. April 23, 2009 Write comment Name Email Title Comment Add Comment
