Wisdom of the Week – Flight


Lucian Eyers © 2008

Flying is often used as a symbol to represent our development and aspirations, by moving forwards and upwards. If you have dreams about flying or are given other signs like this, it is likely to be your angelic guidance helping you to realize your true potential.

A man recently told me he had a lot of hatred inside him, particularly towards his ex-wife. He related how he had spent much of his working life on oilrigs overseas so he could facilitate his dream to have a farm and breed racehorses. He achieved his dream and he and his wife owned two farms in Ireland. But one day his wife decided to leave him. He then explained that because she was Irish and he was English, the two farms went to her and he was left with nothing. He became homeless, without a job and living on a small pension. His four horses were kept now at his brother-in-law's and he was feeding them everyday by cutting grass along the road verges. He had been given a pacemaker and was having to sleep in his car each night, as he had nowhere else to go.
I told him that as long as he carried this anger around with him, both his health and ability to move forward would suffer. I explained to him that he had little self-worth and he agreed with me. I said “You will attract people who treat you badly.” I described how before we are born we choose the partners we need in order to teach us certain lessons. I said, “Your ex-wife has given you the opportunity to learn both self-worth and forgiveness. If you can forgive her for treating you in this way, you will be rewarded and develop enormously. After all, she has fulfilled her part of that old contract. It is up to you to fulfil yours.” He thanked me and sighed, “This is the first healing anyone has ever given me.” He then shed a tear.
From this point on I said he must imagine his ex-wife standing next to him and then ask Archangel Michael to release the contract he had with her. I said, “Imagine Michael cutting the cords between you and she – thank him afterwards and send thoughts of love to her.” 
Two days later I saw him again and he said, “I did what you told me and as I saw him cut the cords, two other people came into my mind who I had forgotten, but who I still had much hatred for.” I assured him the angels were working to release all negativity that bound him to a life of struggle.  “They are doing this because you asked and like us all – they want us to find happiness.” 
I asked him what he had learnt from working on the rigs for all those years and to lose not only most of his fingers, but the two farms he had worked so hard for. He replied, “I don’t know.” I confessed that I was like him. I spent too much of my daily routine living in the future and not in the present. 
“If you loved working on oilrigs then that is a different matter. But if you do something you dislike because of a dream in the future, it can often lead to disappointment. Living in the present means we do what we enjoy and appreciate that moment.” I reminded him that at least he was now with his horses and doing what he loved. “Now you will see your life moving forwards positively and upwards.” He thought for a moment, nodded his head and agreed.

We are all blessed with spiritual wings. This does not mean we become angels when we pass over, but means when our spiritual hearts open, our beautiful wings can be displayed. Their size and splendour are determined by how spiritually advanced we are. I hope this thought will remind you of your wings, even though you cannot see them, but know they are there. This will help you realize there is much we can achieve and aspire to. My illustration above is for a poem I wrote taken from my book ‘The Angel Book of Hours’ and is called ‘The Robin and the Angel.’ 

The birds are a constant reminder of the freedom we can achieve, defying gravity when so often we feel bound by earthly restrictions. When we focus on our wings, we too can defy the most difficult of challenges and begin to fly. 
The poem also shows, that we are all experiencing stages of spiritual development and should understand we are much loved and even the smallest of creatures in our Father’s eyes – are hugely important.
