Before God manifested Himself, when all things were still hidden in Him…He began by forming an imperceptible point; that was His own thought. With this thought He then began to construct a mysterious and holy form…the Universe.  ~  Zohar<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered why a small area of land gave birth to three major religions? Or why it is such a volatile place, where countless wars have been fought and where violence still occurs on a regular basis? I know I have, a lot. <\/p>\n

I am fascinated by the Middle East. Imagine walking into Jerusalem with Jesus as he entered the city or hearing Moses demand his people be set free. Or walking along side Muhammad hearing him share some of his insights.<\/p>\n


\nAll these great religious leaders lived in the same part of the world. I have had the privaledge of visiting Egypt on several occasions and love the sights and sounds of the area. I can easily imagine the walking the streets with these men. How would your life be different if you had the opportunity to walk a mile with any of those men? What questions would you ask them?<\/p>\n

Gabriel spoke to Muhammad and he went on to share those insights and love. He retreated to a cave to meditate and is considered the founder of Islam. Little is known about the early life of Jesus and how he achieved his profound connection with the holy spirit.<\/p>\n

I would love to know what Jesus did for the first 30 years of his life. I would love to sit and talk with him about spirituality, look into his eyes and ask him about love. I can imagine talking with Muhammad about his meditations and asking about his relationship with the Archangel Gabriel. I’d love to watch Moses as he grew up and hear him speak to the Pharaoh. <\/p>\n

What questions would you ask?<\/p>\n

With love and aloha,
\nSusan<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Angels are everywhere just open your mind and your heart to the signs.<\/p>\n
