Lyrics:
A little girl looked in her mother’s eyes
and asked a question
that could only come from a child
Mommy are there angels
And do they really fly?
Will I know one when I see one?
And this was her reply
Angels… don’t always wear wings
They live inside your hopes and prayers
And dance around your dreams
They echo from the silence with quiet acts of kindness
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings
There are little miracles that happen every day
That never make the headlines
but make a difference anyway
Do you remember how your grandma dried your tears
When you thought the world looked hopeless
Then she magically appeared
Angels… don’t always wear wings
They live inside your hopes and prayers
And dance around your dreams
They echo from the silence with quiet acts of kindness
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings
There are moments in our lives
When we may not realize
That we’re in the presence of
God’s messenger of love
Angels… don’t always wear wings
They live inside your hopes and prayers
And dance around your dreams
They echo from the silence with quiet acts of kindness
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings
Oh Angels don’t always wear wings

The Cosmic Sweep of Love - Learn the Mystical Secret That Saints, Sages, and Masters Have Known Throughout the Ages
Posted on September 4th, 2008
All throughout history the saints, sages, mystics and masters have always told us that “The most powerful force in the universe is Love”. Metaphysician Ernest Holmes suggested that Love is the very thing that has caused and is causing the universe to called into expression. Watch the Cosmic Sweep of Love with Dr. Harry Morgan Moses to explore this concept.
Transcript:
We spoke in my last video about particles and waves… about potential and kinetic energy. We discussed how things move from the potential in the wave to the reality of a particle. And so we are interested in discovering what it is that powers that automatic and omnipresent principle that can work for everyone the same way.
Throughout time, the saints, sages, mystics and masters have always said that “The most powerful force in the universe is Love.”
So, I would like to invite you to think of the words of Ernest Holmes, a great metaphysician from the last century.
A metaphysician, by the way, is someone who works from the interior awareness and brings it to the external reality… From the meta side of life to the physical side of life.
What this great metaphysician suggested was that impulsion of the universe was love. That love is the very thing that causes the universe to move into expression.
Well, there are many kinds of love, books about love and libraries full of those books on the subject of love. And yet to understand love as an energy is a lot like trying to name the One… the One Spirit… whether we call it God… and whether we access that God through a Christ or an Atman or a Buddha awareness… and whether we call it our higher self or our consciousness. It makes no difference what name we give to this power.
But it’s energy is the energy of universal love.
So we’re interested in discovering in how we can access this love other than in simple statements like I AM Love or I am willing to love. What’s the highest vibration of love? And, where in the human condition did we lose track of love at that highest possible level?
We know symbolically from the book of Genesis that we lost track when we fell in to knowing… when we fell into a separate knowledge from the one (The Garden of Eden story). However, meanwhile the perfect love of the One has never gone anywhere, no matter what we as individuals or as humanity have done.
There is an emination from the spirit of life itself… a presence… an original cosmic force that has always been in existence, and yet through our awareness, we have shut down a lot of our access to this energy.
So what I suggest that we practice today and every day this week is to look at the idea that there is an emination coming from the highest aspect of life… Call it God… Call it Spirit… Call it Love.
There is an emination of Cosmic Love that is available to every human being if we will raise our own awareness and lift our own wave consciousness to a higher place.
So I and the students around me have been playing with the idea that this cosmic love is actually a vibration, and that it is a sweep now coming open to the human condition and the human condition has open to it. And, we call this sweep the cosmic sweep of love.
Since we we are interested in working with the Law of Attraction… And we know that the most powerful force in the universe is the force of Love. So we know that the cosmic sweep of love is the most powerful force in the universe.
This week give youself a boost and claim “I AM the cosmic sweep of love and it is the most attractive force in the universe.” The cosmic sweep of love IS the most powerful attractive force in the universe. I AM one with that sweep. I am one with that attraction. I am attractive. Go ahead… Allow yourself to claim it… Allow yourself to recognize it… Allow yourself to be it.
I Am one with the cosmic sweep of love… the most attractive force in the universe.

Loving Yourself: Getting Beyond Approval and Perfectionism, With Mary Manin Morrissey
Posted on August 24th, 2008
How can you learn to love yourself more fully rather than constantly striving for self approval? In this video, spiritual teacher, Mary Manin Morrissey shares a story that will expand your understanding of the difference between self love and the need for self approval; and help you to overcome perfectionism so that you can get more enjoyment out of life! To watch, go to… Loving Yourself.
Transcript:
There is a physician in San Francisco that tells some wonderful stories. One story, in particular, focuses on loving yourself. In this particular story she talks about what it was like being raised in a family made up of all physicians… her mother, her father, her grandparents had all been physicians; and there was a very high expectation for performance.
She talks about how When you are a child it is easy to mistake approval for love. She adored her father and always wanted to please him. But, when she would bring home a 98% on an exam he would always ask her,
“Well, what happened to the other two points?”.
Long after her father stopped asking that question (as she grew up) she took over the job of asking that question for herself. She one day realized that she had turned into a very high order perfectionist.
Over time she began to realize that no matter what she did, she always thought that she could have done better if she had tried just a little bit harder. She then began to realize that there is a difference between real love and simple approval. And yet, when you are raised by a family of perfectionists it is hard sometimes to discover exactly what that difference is and to learn to focus on loving yourself.
She says that life can come in many forms and bring you many teachers. And one of those teachers for her was a friend who was an artist and her first true love.
During the time that they were together, her drivers license came up for renewal and she was going to have to retake the written drivers test to keep her license. The Department of Motor Vehicles sent her a booklet in the mail which she had to study in order to pass.
During the time that she was studying for her test and David, her love, would ask her to do things. He’d say…
“Let’s go to a movie,”
And she couldn’t go to a movie because she was studying for her driver’s test. He would ask her…
“Do you want to go for a walk tonight?”
And she would reply “No, I don’t want to go for a walk tonight; I have to study for my drivers test.”
She said that after a few days of this she took the test and of course… she got 100%. She came racing into David’s studio to tell him.
“David, guess what! Guess what! I got 100% on my drivers test!”
And once she had told him that, he turned around slowly from where he was working, looked her in the eye, and said to her very tenderly…
“My love, why would you ever want to do that?”
This was not the reaction she had expected, but she came to realize that she had spent all this time just trying to get 100%. Because, since her father could not approve of her with less than 100%, she had learned not to approve of her self if she didn’t get 100%.
She realized she had spent all that time learning things she really didn’t need to know and probably didn’t even want to know. And, more than that, there were things she had missed out on that she really would have loved doing…
The walk in the evening…
Watching the movie while holding her love’s hand…
There were many things in life that she could have more wisely chosen than trying to be perfect. And so she describes herself now as a “recovering perfectionist”.
She said that to perfectionists what we do never seems as good as what we could have done if we had tried just a little bit harder. We must learn the difference between undconditional love and approval. Once you do this you can understand what loving yourself really means.
In our society we have even had to invent a word to describe love that isn’t based on approval… “unconditional love”. And there is a vast difference between real love and simple approval.
So, we can use approval to help us navigate through life, but our gift is learning to love ourselves fully along the way. It isn’t about being perfect; it is about finding ourselves along our life’s journey. One of the ways we do that is to practice loving ourselves.
What a wonderful teaching that life is not about being perfect, but about finding ourselves along the way. experience.

The Cosmic Law Of Attraction - It Can Work For You When You Understand Particles and Waves
Posted on August 24th, 2008
How can you get the Law of Attraction to work for you at the highest possible level? There is an energetic field that each one of us creates by means of our thoughts and attitudes. You can use this force clearly and deliberately to create the life you truly want to live. Watch The Cosmic Law of Attraction with Dr. Harry Morgan Moses to find out how! To watch, go to… Cosmic Law of Attraction.
Transcript:
You know this week and next I want to talk to you about an idea you’ve probably heard a little bit about.There’s a movie out called the secret and in that movie they talk about the “Law of Attraction”. Well, we’re interested in this thing called the Law of Attraction because what it suggests is that there is a mechanism in life that responds to us by corresponding to us. And the challenge for us each day is how to get that mechanism to work for us at the highest possible level.
So, recently I’ve been doing a lot of work in the reviewing of the science of our day… And I want to talk just a little bit about “Particles and Waves”. There is this law of attraction that is responding to us; where we receive whatever it is that we’re giving it. However there’s a force that causes it to work; and that force is actually an energetic field that each one of us creates by means of our thoughts and attitudes. So what we want to work on is determining for ourselves “What’s the highest way for me to use this force clearly and deliberately to create the life that I would like to live. So that, each day I have the opportunity to frame my awareness toward a greater good, toward a greater possibility, toward a higher vibration, toward my own goals, dreams, and desires.” Of course, the first part of that requires that you know what your goals dreams and desires are…
Now, each one of us can do this but the best way to begin to work with that is to start looking at our life and thinking about the direction that would give it meaning and purpose. There’s often a dialogue that the journey in life is not toward success, but rather toward significance. What will we do in our lives that will bring forward a significance which is a feeling that we create in our own being. And here’s where the discussion of particles and waves comes into play.
What we now know is that the smallest possible particle is the electron. However as they’ve been studying electrons over the last fourty years in electron accelerators they’ve discovered something extremely important…
That the particle is really not a particle at all until we look at it. In fact it is a wave.
When we here the lines “Energy and matter are equal and interchangeable”, we begin to see that energy and matter are the same, because their root is this wave of potential that becomes a particle… that becomes the basis of all matter.
In our lives we’re looking to acheive certain kinds of goals and successes and dreams. And those would be physical things. And at the same time if we don’t feel good about the successes that we acheive, then our dreams become empty. Here we see the meaning of significance coming into play in our lives.
So you and I are interested in answering the question…
What is the Force That Will Cause This Law of Attraction to work for us at a higher level?
And essentially, what we now know is that you and I if we are born in the image and likeness of God or the One Life or the One Energy… That that Energy will move from the potential which is a wave into the actuality which is a particle.
And our thoughts and attitudes… and our atmosphere of love will affect how rapidly that movement goes from potential into form.
So today, declare for yourself
“I Am an insrument of love”
“I Am an instrument of Light”
“I Am one with Love and Joy and Truth and Beauty and Wisdom and Peace and Poise and Power”
Each time you announce “I Am” and claim it with a meaning or value… those powers will collect the force in our wave awareness and cause the particles to begin to move toward the form that we’re creating.
So affirm your goals.
Affirm your dreams.
And then affirm the “I Am” qualities that will cause that energy to vibrate at a higher level and bring you your greatest good.
This is the day and the moment to start fresh claiming that your dreams are being realized, that your life has significance. And claiming…
I Am A person of Power; a person of Wealth; a person of Joy; a person of Love; a person of Laughter; a person of Light.
I Am That.
And watch the potential of your wave become the particles of your experience.
