Yesterday, I wrote about reading about angels. You would hardly believe it but when I walked into Church, the congregation were singing Ye Holy Angels Bright! and the reading was about angels. The whole idea of angels makes for great cheerfulness and a feeling of not being alone.
However, when the cistern sprang a leak in the downstairs loo, with gushing water being staunched by every towel in the house, it was the white van with the emergency plumber who appeared as the most immediate angel in the vicinity.
The second reading was about demons, and about the many demons which Christ sends into the swine who then rush headlong into the sea and drown. The idea of demons gives a sense of a continuous battleground in the world of nature and the world of mind. It makes sense of cultivating the angels and that benevolent world through reading, praying and meditating.
My morning meditator has increased her meditation to a 20 minute one and our early morning meditation is a wonderful way of creating a better state of mind.
