MESSENGERS

The word angel in English is a fusion of the Old English word engel (with a hard g) and the Old French angele. Both derive from the Latin angelus which in turn is the Romanization of the ancient Greek ἄγγελος (angelos), “messenger”, which is related to the Greek verb ἀγγέλλω (angellō), meaning “bear a message, announce, bring news of”.  A messenger is usually someone who delivers news or communication from another source.  They are not the source of the news.

As we know, “the news” can be “bad” or the message can be “good”, depending on the circumstances, or the person.  According to the “messengers” of Western civilization on Earth, “the news” is ALWAYS bad.  Good news is NOT news, according to television, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc..  So, if you want some GOOD news, you’ll probably have to get it from spiritual sources, like angels or friends you can trust to have your best interests at heart.

FRIENDS WITH YOUR SELF

Maxwell Maltz (March 10, 1889 – April 7, 1975) was an American cosmetic surgeon and author of Psycho-Cybernetics (1960), which was a system of ideas that he claimed could improve one’s self-image. In turn, the person would lead a more successful and fulfilling life.  He wrote several books, among which Psycho-Cybernetics was a long-time bestseller — influencing many subsequent self-help teachers. His orientation towards a system of ideas that would provide self-help is considered the forerunner of the now popular self-help books.

The book introduced Maltz’s views where a person must have an accurate and positive view of him- or herself before setting goals; otherwise he or she will get stuck in a continuing pattern of limiting beliefs. His ideas focus on visualizing one’s goals and he believes that self-image is the cornerstone of all the changes that take place in a person. According to Maltz, if one’s self-image is unhealthy or faulty — all of his or her efforts will end in failure. —  (reference: Wikipedia.org)
