Our thoughts about reality, what we&#8217;ve been told to believe, what we think we experience, what we expect, what they say about reality? What really is real? Maybe none of what we think is real. Maybe that is where faith comes in and changes our reality.<\/p>\n<p><font><b>Angels really can fly<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<p>When we have the courage to see the world through the eyes of angels everything changes. <\/p>\n<p>The most important question I ever answered for myself was: Is this a safe universe or a hostile one; is this universe based on love or fear. If I choose fear it is an entirely different world, very dangerous, hostile and downright nasty. When I choose to see it as the angels do, though the eyes of love life becomes full of joy, ease and laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Which world will you choose to live in?
