Mercy is the countenance of God

Mercy is the countenance of God.  Life, depending on how you view it, is a series of ascending or descending flights of lights.  The open heart drinks from the well of the subtle love, the pure and crystalline light that is the Creator.  The fearful heart, the sheltered heart thirsts, sips from the mire that is the world.

We are the angels of reiterance.  To those who would listen we will help you overcome forgetfulness.  At the crux of any message of self-help is love, self-love, love of the self, love of the god-self; identification with the god-self as the god-self.

To overcome years of familial-implanted belief systems takes a committed focus on everything that is not external, but within.  It means befriending our self.  Befriending, that is interesting; to befriend that which imbues us with life.  How ironic!
