A Part

 The angels are a part of the Christmas narrative.  In more recent years I have written about Santa but this year I seem to be more focused on angels and their simple theology of doing no harm to others or oneself.  It is a very simple theology and perhaps too simple for most to grasp.  Surely there has to be more to it than this.  

But unconditional love is just this.  Simply do no harm.  It is the Hypocratic oath taken by doctors today.  Simply not to do harm.  But what does that mean in today’s society?  It means to live and let live.  It means we don’t condemn except when one has intentionally taken a life.  That’s it.  Otherwise we are to love and forgive.  

Loving unconditionally means to forgive unconditionally.  This has been the hardest lesson for me to learn.  But I just tell others and regardless of beliefs I simply say believe what you wish but do no harm.  Anyone who threatens to do harm must face the courts of law.  

I will avoid courts at all costs.  This means to live according to laws.  But if we seek to do no harm we will avoid the courts.  Oughts and should give structure to all religions but mine has no such structure apart from laws of society.  One should do no harm and one treats others as one would treat oneself.  That’s it.  No other ought and should.  

This is the theology of my Angels and why this world can cause me great stress.  It might be better if I would forego my angels and join a religion, but my angels are my religion.  I deal with it all by quietly meditating with my pipe.  My pipe this morning is my Nording Number 3 pipe with some Cordial.  My coffee this morning is Mayorga.  Thank you for your time and Peace and Love to each one of you.
