My Gardian Angel

| Every now and then people feel the urge to take a fresh look at their fundamental values and their life as a whole. Typically, this happens somewhat late in life, if it happens at all, when the end is perhaps not so near, but it is the time to look back and recap. Assessment and, even more so, reassessment of such things is a serious matter. Why take this step? Sometimes life calls for a critical decision. For a "Yes" or a "No" at a major crossroads. Where to turn for advice? To avoid talking to myself, I usually pick an imaginary companion. I have many to choose from. Depending on the subject-matter, it could be real people, even those close to me, whom I chose as opponents for my inner dialogue. Sometimes, it is characters from books or movies. Lately it has been abstract figures, to whom I must give names in order that they may come alive as I talk about them. With one of these, I routinely discuss my life and make decisions. I could call this personage myself, my inner I, my inner voice, my ego, my mentor or patron saint from another world... I could think of many more words I associate with Him. Yes, Him, unequivocally masculine by gender. He is not God, no ranking far below that, and much more concrete. I am not sure of his exact whereabouts: inside or outside of my body? Part of me or not? Does He belong only to me? I do not know. I do not know. I do not know. I only know that He is right here with me, and that I can talk to Him or send Him a "SOS!" In any event, to get on with my story, I must give Him a name. It is trite, but charming nonetheless: My Guardian Angel! I love fancy words! I should explain now how a Guardian Angel acts as a mentor or a patron from the intangible world. It seems logical to me that every person should have something of the sort. Otherwise, the tangible and the intangible worlds could never work together as a unified whole. "Above" there are those who develop programs for the material world. "Below" - we, who turn them into something tangible, to experiment and experience. Mentors from the "Above" could be smart or silly, just like here, in our world. I'm lucky to have a very bright one! Patron saints could also be powerful or not so much, just like anywhere else. And yet they hold our destinies in their hands. I guess I got lucky again. Thank you, fellas! Am I being too bold? And why not? You design, I implement. I am working just as hard! | ||
