Delight in misperception

Liara Covert in Guardian Angels
Who hasn't known someone who's been up to their ears in challenges or unforeseen situations? You may have stretched your own limits to manage all that's on your plate. Maybe you've even thought how great it would be if something happened to shrink your perceived burden. Would it seem possible to you for a guardian angel to intervene? If one did, would that really help you?

Many people take pleasure in deceiving themselves. They choose relationships that enable them to reinforce false ideas and may assume angels would intervene to assist in such self-deception. Angels praise worthy behavior and encourage self-discovery. They wouldn't support you to lie to yourself. Although they may desire you be concerned about direction you choose, their role may be to urge you to question and define 'toward what end?' They won't tell you how to get there.

Each person can benefit from gaining new insight into themselves. Emotions have been known to interfere with your understanding of reality. Feelings may also overtake your logic. What about when emotions enable you to see the truth you desire to see? If you bring on a burden yourself, you may unconsciously be hoping to learn from it. You can grow from everything.

Angels observe all your choices. If they don't respond or offer you reason to believe they're nearby, what kind of message are they sending about behavior? Are you encouraged to think you don't need them or, that your choices aren't good for you? Angels may take the form of human beings or watch you from another vantage point. Your life is all about change and what you choose to see. Who you think is helping you or not emerges in your mindset and belief system.

You may also act as a kind of earthy angel. Consider whether you have ever prompted a friend to rethink certain choices, to acknowledge what s/he's not. By encouraging other people to be real, to see through their own misperception, you may empower them to experience not only who they really are, but also what it means to sense new harmony and happiness in life.
