Short Story: The Zen master who knew an angel

Tweet

The Zen master, Artip Verlaski, claimed that he had contact with the spiritual realms, and that he could talk to a certain angel, named Zapheal. The master then claimed that he had been given a spiritual message to pass on to the world. It was a fairly simple one, that stated, that every person has the ability to contact an angel, and in fact, every person has an angel, often referred to as their guardian angel, always with them in their lives. This angel, is assigned to a soul at their birth, and accompanies them into Heaven too, at their death. Every soul returns to Heaven after the body-self dies, and it is in Heaven where a review is made with them of their just completed life. We are to walk side by side in living a simple life here, with our angel, helping us to live a quality life for God. When we stay connected to God, we need never worry about our future. We never should think about changing, manipulating, or enhancing, the future that God apportions to us to live from. The Zen master had a statue of his angel friend, in his monastery’s Zen garden. On the statue was a plaque that read: “Without inner love, there can be no outer love.” This meant that to try to love someone with only outer love, is never felt as love, as it is seen through as being a type of love with no depth, or deepness, to it. Love must come out from us from our inner self, to be real love. We should not wander through life on our own then, but walk forwards, through life, with our assigned angel.
