Inner Angel

Just as we are already saved, it is possible to consider the Guardian Angel figure as the part of ourselves already realized, an expression of the layers of our soul, our being, our consciousness where great wisdom already reigns.

We address them from our suffering, sad, and fearful selves, we ask for their help. It is increasingly difficult for me to consider a difference between the interior and the exterior.

Here, this means that this proposed way of considering the ‘inner’ guardian angel is not exclusive or incompatible with an effective (exterior) manifestation of the latter in our lives.

The exterior is the manifestation, the reflection of interior movements.
And the movements of the soul are sometimes enabled by external representation.

In the same way that the eye adjusts between a distant landscape and the window in front of us, each time creating a very different representation of what is before our eyes, both visions are true, at the same time.
Only our attention differs. Just as light, depending on what we envision, is either a ripple or a particle.
Addressing the Angel, praying to the Saint, is (also) looking into the mirror held up to our eyes of knowledge and listening to our voices of profound wisdom.

It is hearing the voice of the Angel resonate from our depths.

    1. Oh I was not expecting this kind of :all is one’ reaction from you under this article.
      After all those years, you still surprise me.

      More seriously
      I do agree with both sentences
      Of the single statement you are making.

      1. That is precisely what maths do. (Does?)
        Like words… Made up words stuck to mind activity
        And pretending to encapsulate reality.
        Words are math models
        For dummies.

        (I’m terrible at maths)

      2. (I referred to black swan events, theorised by Taleb…I assume you knew this. But sticking to the ornithological level works just as fine)
