Angels in Our Midst

Have you ever wondered why some people can do all these amazing things?  A Taiwanese woman in her seventies is taking care of 13 old people all by herself.  She cooks 3 meals a day for these old folks out of her own pocket, delivers the meals to their respective residences, feeds them, cleans their houses, and bathes them.  She has been doing this good deed for 7 years already.

 Every day she needs to wake up 4 o’clock in the morning to prepare all the ingredients.  Over these years, she must have spent about $100,000 on these folks. Someone asked her why she is doing it.  She said, her parents passed away when she was still young.  So one of her regrets is that she never had the chance to take care of them in their golden age. One day she just came up with this idea, why not take care of these old people living all by themselves? Since these people needed care, she decided to take care of them just like she would have for her parents. Although she needs to do a lot to serve these 13 old people, she doesn’t feel tired or strained at all.  To the contrary, she feels that she is filled with energy and never been so happy because of it.  Service and love gives her power and energy.

Another amazing story also happened in Taiwan.  An 80 year Austrian priest has been serving over one hundred abandoned sick people in Taiwan since he was 25 years old.  When he saw these people’s twisted limbs he couldn't help crying. These people have been the outcast in Taiwan because of their scary appearance and this priest felt compassionate enough to take care of them for half a century.  Love gives caretaker as well as patients power, energy and wings to fly.  When you are doing God's job you will be taken care of as well. Look out for the angels in our midst, they are everywhere.

On Gurus and Angels

You probably have read about the handful of spiritual giants who have been blessing the earth. If you are really lucky you may even have had the chance to meet one of these beacon of light yourself. When you listen to them, when you read what they write, when you just sit silently in their presence you can feel that everything they are is true. Perhaps they can be compared with a fueling station. You go to your personal Mecca to get some new direction, some new hope. These masters are able to connect with the Source whenever they like. They are God’s messengers. They can heal like God. They also radiate God's energy. Just sitting in their vicinity charges you up.They give you an appetizer for what life on earth can be about, but after experience you are still left on your own to find the path for yourself. You leave your Mecca with a full tank and you try your journey once again.

The Tao is about realizing that you don't need to seek your personal Mecca, you can find it in your own home yard. When you are ready to launch your spiritual path, angels will come to assist you on your Home coming journey. It takes some skills to recognize these angels, but when you truly trust your heart you will find them. When we start our journey, most of us will experience a period of chaos. The ego is theatrical as you will find out for yourself, so we need to stage a few theatrical near-death experiences to help you stepping out of this movie plot. No "enlightened master" can help you with that otherwise your ego would just design a new idol, one with holy clothes this time around. But you are not alone in your journey. The angels are still with you. They are the people who challenge you, the friends who need your help, your children who look up to you. Everyone helps you discovering who you truly are.

Once you open up to your environment, once you walk the Tao the guidance will be just around the corner. God's grace and miracles show up just when you need them. Just like Moses you find that the sea parts in the nick of time. As you have more and more lucid moments it dawns on you that you can experience God all the time. As you are merging with Her you can feel how you are being transformed. At that moment, it is time to walk completely on you own. You don’t need any masters any more because you are your own Daughter of God. You are God's co-creator and in fact always have been but at this holy moment you realize your birthright.

If you are on a spiritual path an angel must already be in your vicinity. Reflect for a moment, do you have a hunch who it could be?
