The Angel of Attraction and Inspiration

The angel keeps a circle of light around your life, and your angel is particularly active in the region of friendship and relationship. One of the mysteries of friendship is the attraction between two people. Where does it come from? What animates this attraction? How do two people meet? How do they manage to be in the same place at that particular moment so that the whole adventure of longing and belonging can come awake between them? Had they missed that moment, would they have remained strangers? Or would some other moment have gathered them towards this beginning? There is a whole arena of secret preparation and gathering here that we cannot penetrate with our analytical or conscious minds; perhaps this is the domain of angelic creativity. Perhaps the attraction between two people is not accidental; could it be that their ancient angels know how much they have to bring each other and without this their lives cannot become true? The angels are artists in the subtle chemistry of Spirit. If you are in difficulty in your friendship, it is wise to go to your mutual angels for the gifts and blessings that you both need. Because your friendship is now paralysed you cannot give anything to each other. When the metallic distance of pain cripples the sacred space between you and the one you love, it is wise to ask the spirits of light and inspiration to make a path for you towards each other.

The angels awaken the sacred melodies of inspiration and brightness and beauty in the soul. A friendship with one’s angel is a choice for each of us. If we do not open this up, the angel continues to work for us anyway. To make this explicit is to come into a new depth and sense of presence. It releases you from the grey walls of the inner prisons where life gets lost and stale. In a certain sense, your angel is the voice and presence of ancient divine longing within you. This urges you forth from all false belonging until you come into the divine rhythm where longing and belonging are one.
