The Guardian Angel

When a man opens his heart, for even an instant, the figure he perceives is his Guardian Angel. When he hears the call to the spiritual life, when his psychic substance is protected from evil, when he meets certain mysterious figures in dreams, or even in waking day, who act out for him the drama of his own inner life - that is the Guardian Angel at work. Peter Lamborn Wilson You know the night contains all of your dreams. How they are preserved; how they are kept separate from the dreams of others is a mystery. I only know a window opens in your sleeping mind and admits new dreams, and probably expels nightmares before it closes. All of this is benign and reasuring, isn't it? Soon I will summon you when the moon is especially brilliant: we will walk together beneath its traces, and you can open yourself to the influence of the night. Into that dark light we will plunge and blend our luminescence. Who can say what will become of this adventure? But I don't want you to be afraid: I want you to be ready. I have watched other angels hovering just above their human charges, and both seem intent to reach a particular place in the vast night space that stretches beyond even my angel-sight. You see, it is I who have been afraid, not you. Because you are simply my beloved, and I want to give you this knowledge, this waiting grace, this heightening. I was afraid to lose you to some greater angel who could guide you to wonders I cannot apprehend. But now, after I have absorbed your soul-wonder, I understand, in this new place of being, you may be Guardian, and I your charge. Wake to wonder, Daniel. We cross this threshold....
