From the Angel of Depression
Received June 15, 2004

Invocation...
This morning I invoke the Angel of Depression who is also the Angel of Happiness. This Angel fully understands that these dual aspects of our experiences are truly unified in the underlying and over-lighting presence of our love within and around us.

Beloved and blessed Angel I call upon you for enlightenment, for wisdom, for revelation of the Divine purpose of depression. Beloved Angel I ask you to lay the path of this labyrinth before us. Beloved Angel I ask that you show each step through this labyrinth to us. Beloved Angel, bless us with your grace with your Divine love, with your complete patience, with your complete acceptance, with your total care for us.

Angel of depression, guide us, show us, reveal to us all that is hidden and unseen. Beloved Angel show us the light and the spiritual gold in this aspect of our shadow self.

Beloved Angel, help us to embrace the wisdom and strength and power and goodness and connection to the Holy Spirit that lives within our shadow selves.

Angel Message

I'm the Angel of depression and I understand this human experience of sadness, sorrow, grief, lack and depletion. I understand how de-energizing depression can be. I understand the weight, and heaviness, and the despair that it brings upon the spirit.

Depression has a divine purpose: a holy and sacred purpose. A purpose of revelation, a purpose to call up into consciousness that which is suppressed, repressed, buried in the thick unconsciousness.

Realize that nothing in the human experience exists outside of the field of love – God’s love for every being in creation. This path, this walk, through the labyrinth of depression, is in and of itself a sacred journey. Allow each step to be one of revelation. One of discovery. One of experimentation. One of personal examination.

The very heaviness of depression is designed to stop you. To cause you to pause, to examine, and to consider why it is so difficult to move forward at this time. Yes, I do understand the pain, grief, sorrow, resistance, inertia, and the lack of energy that depression brings upon the mind, body and spirit. Yet still I say this, too, is holy; this too is blessed.

There are times in life when a reorientation is called for by your soul. This call of the soul unheeded, unanswered, grows in its potency. Sometimes a complete stop to your activities, a reorientation of your relationships, a change in your perceptions is so vital and so important that the soul allows no continuation of the past form. When it is time for your soul to stop your current activities, you will stop.

In the dizziness of the activities of success, in the press of productivity, in the urgency of projects and opportunities, it is simple to move too quickly, to accelerate into activity and to ignore, overlook, or to put a very attractive facade on the business of the soul the remains unaddressed. And yet what is unaddressed grows in its calling. It grows in its intensity, grows in its need to be heard, to express, to reveal something of the nature of your spirit, something of the depths of your soul.

In this revelation there is often a tilling of the soil, a overturning of the ground of being. It is not for a faint heart, for a weak spirit, for a presence of mind lacking in courage and focus. And yet I assure you that there is only goodness, wholeness, completeness, evolution, expansion of your consciousness into a greater place of love when you are able to accept, explore, experiment and discover all aspects of yourself.

I would ask you to surrender any ideas, imaginings, or projections of what you envision as your perfect self. I would ask you to surrender all positions of ego and of identity with this imagined perfect state. I would ask you to accept yourself exactly as you are - for this is what we do as Angels - we do accept you exactly as you are! This is what your loving God does with you. You are accepted in every moment exactly as you are by all of creation. In fact, everything that you see, hear, touch and experience around you is no more than the complete acceptance of you, exactly as you are, reflected back to by Creator in creation. With this reflection is always the invitation to enter into deeper love, into more loving awareness and the opportunity to expand your perceptions into greater love.
