“After birth many people pulled the veil of forgetfulness so thoroughly in front of their awareness that they are totally unable to notice the presence of us angels and the spiritual world any more. They have descended deeply into duality because there they want to make experiences which are important for them. They have moved far away from the divine awareness, and their knowledge about human existence is entirely restricted to this one earthly life. All the ones who have been brought up as Christians can imagine a life after death. But that’s about it!

Everything is fine as it is! You have all chosen certain things for this life. You have probably planned to integrate spirituality and reminiscence of the divine source into this life, otherwise you would not be reading my message.

If you go back to your childhood in your mind, what sort of world view shaped you then? Did you know about us angels? Did you have conscious contact with us? Could you talk to adults about us? Have you been able to preserve a childlike informal contact with the spiritual world? Has anybody told you that angels and beings of nature are just childish and you should at last grow up? What has been your spiritual role in your family?

Lots and lots of questions whose answers I know. But I would like to confront you with these questions to make you aware that you entered a child’s life as a knowing and highly-developed soul. And that you might have taken on a difficult role in your family, confronting the adults with the spiritual side of life.

They might have told you that earthly life with all its tasks is more important than a spiritual one. However, how can one picture a spiritual life? Monks live in monasteries, nuns live in convents, the Pope and the bishops play a certain public role, but when it is about essential and significant decisions, only politicians and business magnates hold all the aces.

As a result you may have lost the conscious contact with the angelic world and beings of nature; it has been hidden because you were not taken seriously. The children of the New Age are born under different conditions. People’s awareness has changed. The time of great transformation, which you are just undergoing, makes earthly life more transparent. Spirituality beyond earthly matter is more and more perceptible. Your generation and the generation of your children are just about integrating spirituality in everyday life. There is still much to be done, thinking of the fanatic followers of faith, or the wars that are made in the name of faith. But there is no way to stop spirituality finding its firm place in earthly life again. It’s a new position which you are able to identify with, as your soul resonances with it! I am looking forward to it!”

Message from Angel Veriel

“Many of you have grown up with the belief that there is a higher authority, judging all your deeds. Many believers were told they were born with original sin. In the Middle Ages one could purify one’s soul with a lot of money. Children, who do not really understand what sin means, are sent to confession and made to do penance for their misbehavior. Guilt and atonement are reflected in fine arts, on stage and in films. In the name of guilt and justice wars are fought and people killed. Many people claim to know what justice is, imprisoning others, who they think are wrong and guilty.

Welcome to the energies of the old times! Welcome to the limited views of duality! Welcome to the world of the self-declared righteous ones!

You may have read articles about people with near-death-experiences. All of them saw radiant light at the end of a tunnel and were welcomed by a wonderful energy of love. Nobody asked about guilt, nobody asked for atonement. Is it possible that your view of guilt and forgiveness is far too human? Do you think you will be forgiven for your misbehaviour, your errors and the pain you have caused deliberately? Who shall forgive you, the good Lord? Do you really think God is shocked by your behaviour? That he entitled authorities to forgive your sins?

‘Do not think like a human!’ the angel being Kryon keeps trying to tell you. But how should you think if not like a human? This is a fair question, particularly if you cannot see that people are highly developed souls in a human body! If you do not know that you have different terms for guilt and atonement on the spiritual level, namely responsibility and consequences.

Who does it benefit if somebody is punished for their misbehavior? Can a crime be annulled by incarceration? Yes, it does make sense to protect innocent people from violent people by isolating them! No, it does not make sense to think this would solve the problem. This needs much more: it needs a radical change in awareness!

Forgive yourself and forgive others. However, start with yourself. As long as you cannot forgive yourself, your forgiveness will remain a mere declaration of intent, a lip service. Forgiving yourself is one of people’s most difficult developing steps. Because it is not about suppressing, but about recognizing and admitting what you have done. Forgiveness requires an inner spiritual attitude, rising above the old views of duality, where there is only black or white, good or evil, right or wrong. Forgive yourself, and stand by your mistakes! Take responsibility for them and you will set an example for others!”

What is this place?

Am I in Ireland? Or on one of the Mediterranean islands Minorca or Corsica? Or maybe even on the Azores? … One has such a fixed idea of Spain and its landscape. Especially if you have already seen a lot of this country. But Northern Spain – particularly the region around Santiago de Compostela – is a whole lot different from the rest of the country. I love the small houses and the stone walls overgrown with ivy and ferns that are so typical for this stretch of land.

The most important thing is a roof over one’s head

I admire the “real” pilgrims on the Way of St. James who for days walk hundreds of miles with the big and distant goal of reaching the cathedral of Santiago. And that in any wind and weather! Now, in December, only a few are on the way, wrapped up warmly and protected against wind and the cold. Most of the hostels along the way are closed.

These are frequently very humble – not to say primitive – and offer a sleeping-place either in a dorm room with bunk beds or in tiny rooms into which only one or two beds fit. With these pilgrims I cannot and must not compare myself when I am lying in my cosy hotel bed at night.

The journey is its own reward!

„The journey is its own reward!“ – this especially pertains to the pilgrims on the Way of St. James. After all, most people who walk it meditate or pray during the peregrination that lasts for days and thereby want to discover the access to themselves. For this reason, they accept the partly very different routes willingly and do not give it a second thought whether the landscape is bleak or charming, monotonous or diversified. They probably are not bothered about the numerous high-voltage lines, wind farms or the stretches of way that run alongside roads.

Maybe my idea of the Way of St. James was a bit romantic, or I have an entirely different vision of the spiritual journey that Gerd and I are planning for a group of like-minded people for 2016. After all, it is not always that easy to find beautiful stretches of way through a harmonious landscape.

Strictly speaking, our approach is not the classic pilgrimage full of deprivations in the course of which one slowly approaches the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela over days and weeks, but we love the combination between history, culture and spirituality, all of which abound in this region. All together make up an ideal spiritual journey for us, towards whose perfect design we advance more closely day by day.

How the Way of St. James came by its name

I know that Tiago is the name of the son of the opera singer Anna Netrebko. However, what I did not know: Tiago is the Spanish name for James. Thus, Santiago or San Tiago means Saint James.

Who was this saint? This question is forced upon oneself if – as have we for some days – one is on one’s way on the Way of St. James through Northern Spain.

Allegedly, James was the son of Mary Salome, who accompanied Mary Magdalene through Southern Spain. If her son James accompanied them as well, we probably will never know. He is supposed to have been tortured to death in Jerusalem in 44 AD, but he could have travelled with his mother and the entourage of Mary Magdalene to Southwest Europe as well and finally been buried in Santiago de Compostela.

However, the official version says that his mortal remains were translated from the Holy Land to Santiago de Compostela by King Alfonso II. in order to give Spain a high-ranking pilgrimage site – next to Jerusalem and Rome. According to another legend, mysterious light phenomena of the stars showed the hermit Pelagio the way to a field, where he discovered the remains of the apostle James. To this miracle the town owes its euphonious name, because Santiago de Compostela means St. James of the field of stars.

Flexibility is necessary

Paper doesn’t blush, but frequently reality is entirely different … This experience Gerd and I have to make again and again when we are planning a spiritual journey. We peruse guide books for weeks, plan great routes and then, when we are on site, the first challenges arise: sites and places that were described as being well worth visiting in the books turn out be not very attractive, hotels and restaurants fall short of our expectations, or we unexpectedly stumble on a great object of interest in the middle of our planned route which we do not want to ignore and would like to fit in in our itinerary someway.

Thus, hardly a day goes by in the course of our preparation trip where we do not have to replan. Nevertheless, we look forward to new impressions and experiences every morning and collapse into the hotel bed bone-weary but content in the evening.

In the land of Saint James

Many of you surely know Paulo Coelho’s bestseller “The Pilgrimage”, in which he describes his impressive spiritual experiences on the Way of Saint James through Northern Spain. Certainly this worldwide bestseller helped the region awaking from its deep slumber. But still it seems as if this clime had not suffered from the flow of pilgrims and tourists, because it still appears to be very pristine and authentic.

Ever since I mentally accompanied Coelho on his peregrinations – in the meantime I have read some books of other authors who followed this pilgrims’ way – my interest in this area has awakened. Therefore, what could be more reasonable than planning and organising the spiritual journey after next in 2016 for like-minded people in the “land of Saint James”? No sooner said than done! As of today Gerd and I are touring the region around Santiago de Compostela and are exploring sites and places that seem to be “worthy” of a spiritual journey.

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2014: Albi – the place where the persecution of Cathars began

One of the absolute highlights of our spiritual journey 2014 “In the footsteps of Mary Magdalene and her successors” through the Languedoc is doubtlessly going to be the visit we are going to pay to the former heartland of the Cathars, namely Albi. This town won notoriety during the Albigensian Crusade, since the Albigenses, the important group of Cathars who used to inhabit this region, namely the North-East of Toulouse, originally come from there. The interior of the church is so breathtakingly beautiful that I rank it among the most impressive sacred buildings I have ever seen. Unfortunately, the photos I have taken are unable to fully express its ravishing beauty. For this reason, I am all the more looking forward to visit this impressive monument of the Cathars together with my fellow travelers in October 2014 again.

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2014: Arques and Kathleen McGowan’s novel

The fans of Kathleen McGowan’s novel „The Expected One”  are also going to get their money’s worth on our spiritual journey, since the novelist situated the legendary “Château des Pommes Bleues” in the small village of Arques, which she calls the “holy village” in her book.

The castle of Arques, which has got nothing to do with the “Château des Pommes Bleues”, nevertheless is a very impressive building, especially its high and distinguishing tower. The fans and readers of Kathleen’s Magdalene Line are definitely going to rejoice at the fact that we are going to visit those legendary places in the course of our journey.
