How to become a Human Angel

Have you ever wondered whether there is a purpose, and if yes what the purpose is? Have you looked into the mirror and asked yourself, “Why am I really here?” Have you every wished you had wings to carry you beyond the transcendence of daily reality? Have you ever thought it would be nice to have solutions to mankind’s problems that were simpler and more efficient than the ones provided so far?

If you continually ask yourself, “Where can I be most useful?” you are growing wings already. As much as humanity no longer believes in angels, entities that most correspond to that name walk every street of every city. You could surely name a few from your own life – people who walk brightly through all situations, people who seem undisturbed by what happens around them, people who smile from deep inside and people who bring a change into others’ lives by their peace. Have you ever wished you could have that level of peace and contentment? Those are angels at work, showing by their example all that could be yours if you wished. And they smile at you with warm eyes, as if offering to share. Come, they say. Come and take all that I have, because it is for you.

Do you believe that there are people on this planet who have chosen to be born just for you? Do you believe that there could be someone who has been willing to go through all manners of suffering, simply to develop that ability to smile no matter what, so that he or she could gift you that smile today when you most need it?

There are many of us here and we recognize each other when we meet. What unites us is the sadness when we cannot hold another who needs to be held. What unites us is the joy of seeing a pair of bright eyes respond to our gaze. What unites us is our wish to communicate our love no matter what, to communicate love in a way that it is understood by the other, to communicate love in any situation at any cost to ourselves.

So how do you communicate love? How do you communicate to a depressed person that they matter? How do you communicate a smile to someone in mourning? These questions are familiar, aren’t they. More importantly… can you hold someone who doesn’t want to be touched? How do you do that? Finding solutions to these is the work of the Human angel. The good news is, we are not alone – we are many and we share this passion of wanting to inspire others’ souls with our love. The other good news is, no one has done it before us except other humans like us, so there are no right answers as to how to do it, and no guidelines so far.

This piece here is written by a human being who has found herself to be more than just a piece of biology. This human has seen love in action in her own life, and wants to share some of the insights as to how angelic perception works in real world.

We all know the painful difference between “dream” and “reality”. Most often this dichotomy comes up when you realize what you’d really like to have in your life, and usually it is such beautiful and incredible stuff. You’d want to have world peace and for people to stop criticizing each other, you’d want a relationship where no one raises their voice, a conversation where no one is wrong, a government that cares, happy animals, clean nature, and things like that. That’s when you are called a dreamer and asked to come down to earth. Reality is the place where none of the beautiful things are supposed to happen. Rings a bell?

So have you ever asked yourself, why is reality not allowing it to happen? Who has defined reality as a place where things are to be grim and unsuccessful for most of the time? And who creates reality?

Now we know this guy by the name of Murphy who’s supposedly responsible for all pessimist jokes on the planet. If he was still alive he would have gotten a kick out of writing a new series on the end of the world – no matter how many times you plan it, it just doesn’t seem to come! We’re so tired of reality that we just can’t wait to finish with the world, and, as reality would have it, our requests for an Armageddon have not been answered up to date. Some would continue to expect it until 2012, and when that doesn’t happen, would probably start looking forward to a new, appropriate-looking date like 2036 or 2222 (the year is still open for suggestions). Stubborn, we are sometimes. And alive, we are still.

Have you ever felt like the mankind might not have enough faith in the good stuff, and not enough positive beliefs to continue beyond the Armageddon dates? What do we do when we find ourselves alive, and with no new solutions to the same old problems? Let’s do this, you say. Oh but that’s not going to work, they say. That is a dream and this is reality.

But how about believing that today's dreams are tomorrow's reality? How about living out the dream, today? How about being the only person in a bunch who doesn't raise their voice in an argument, the only person in a bunch who doesn't criticize, how about being the only person in the town who sorts their garbage? How about being the first to hug after a fight, every time? How about being the only dreamer if needed, how about being the one individual who breaks the paradigm of reality. One is enough sometimes to make a dream come true. You are enough. You are real. <3
