Michaelmas: Feast of the Angels (010-1 Sunday 9/26/1954)Rejoice and give reverence to God that there is an order that is with Him purely, and loyally, that are able, willing, and desirous of companioning us on our path. Flower quotes widely from the Book of Enoch and intersperses the quotes with her own words. Excerpts... |
Michaelmas Feast of the Angels (030-2 Sunday 9/25/1955)Focuses on the importance of Angel awareness to Christians. Urges us to acknowledge the Angels at all times, not just at high occasions such as Michaelmas and Christmas, but in our daily lives. Cites several passages in the Bible where Angels are referenced and shares of great souls who were aware of Angel Presences, and world religions that honor the Angels. Excerpts... |
The Kingdom of the Shining Ones (020-2 Sunday 12/4/1955)Flower describes the great love and caring of these higher beings and all the benefits Angels bring to mankind and the planet. She shares examples of Angels as found in the Bible and other forms of literature. She shares experiences she and others have had first hand with these magnificent and Holy Ones. But most of all, she brings the reality of these high Presences to the forefront of our consciousness. Excerpts... |
Life Within the Inner Dimensions (066-2 Sunday 6/9/1957)Only a small fraction of ourselves in visible in this dimension. Six sevenths of us is invisible to human sight. It is important that we know about our totality of being. All important events, all glorious plans, causes, movements, inventions, art, inspirations, have come from the inner dimensions. Cites Bible re: Angels. Gives examples of unexpected mystical experiences that people have had. Excerpts... |
Healing Power through Invocation (073-2 Sunday 9/29/1957)We should be open to all means of healing. All of these instruments are God's channels. For most people who are ill, a rededication to more wholesome and far-reaching purposes is required. We must be aware of our motivation for illness and healing. Powerful invocations are important for healing prayers. Excerpts... |
The Feast of the Angels (3 of 3) (115-2 Sunday 8/16/1959)The Angel line is different from the human line. Life Motivation Wave instructs man throughout his evolution. Fallen Angels constitute third line of evolution. Angels surround man from their first experience on earth. Guardians remain with their charges at least to the third degree of initiation and often to Mastery. Next to our Guardians the Angel most watchful of man is the Angel of the Christ Presence. Angel line has three sexes, masculine, feminine and biune. The Angel of the Place serves Questhaven and her opposite, the angel of the Height, is stationed at Inspiration Point. Example of the noblewoman, St. Frances of Rome. Example of Peter in the Bible being freed from prison by a Protector Angel. Excerpts... |
The Communion of the Holy Assembly (155-1 Sunday 6/25/1961)The Reverend Flower Newhouse speaks of the more advanced orders of life which serve God and are yearning to be contacted by us and of our need to stretch our souls toward them to climb in consciousness. Explaining that Christianity has borrowed traditions from the older Jewish faith including from the esoteric portion of the Kabbalah called the Zohar, she discusses the advanced orders of Angels, Adepts, Masters and the Ancient of Days and Silent Watcher which are equivalent to the Logi. Excerpts... |
Feast of the Angels (161-2 Sunday 10/1/1961)God has made, not only one kind of being, called the human being, but He has made many orders, and we know so few of them. Shares examples of Angels described in Holy scriptures and great literature. Functions of individual Archangels given and Orders in Angel Kingdom explained. Naming of Angels signifies one of Light, a messenger appointed by God. Present-day stories and personal experiences with Angels and Angelic intervention shared. Excerpts... |
Thanksgiving Enriches the Grateful Heart (165-1 Sunday 11/19/1961)Thanksgiving is a season of preparation, it is a start of holy season. There should be a continual thanksgiving in our hearts always. Where there is gratitude, there is love, kindliness, thanksgiving, sincerity and the result is happiness. All virtues are like jewels. Recounts a story by Maurice Metterlink and a story of children taken to the inner worlds who return with gratitude for the ordinary in their lives. Story of Dr. Ray Charles Jarmon, a radio preacher in Los Angeles, who participated in medical studies of LSD. Discussion of his observations during those experiments. Whenever anyone is grateful, the most beautiful blue, almost purplish, rises out of his aura, that is crystal clear. There is also perfume. Angels would tell you that after the worship of God, gratitude is the most important aspect of character to develop. Excerpts... |
The Spiritual Side of Loving Animals (188-2 Sunday 6/3/1962)Reading books on nature and the animal kingdom is important. There are angels who watch over the animal kingdom. Examples given from books, Born Free, Living Free and Ring of Bright Water. The story of Elsa the lion was shared, as well as Gavin Maxwell's otters. Bird stories were shared from Audubon Magazine and Jill Baker's experiences with dolphins. It's important to have pets and it speeds up their evolution. Excerpts... |
Michaelmas: Feast of the Angels (200-2 Sunday 9/30/1962)Beauty, purity and purposes of Angels described, especially work of Guardian Angels. Angels have garments of essence in continual motion. Artists sensed and drew this as wings. Describes ways Angels assist mortals and responses to prayer. Differences between Angelic and human evolution. We are unceasingly in the presence of Angels, wherever we move, because Intelligences of this purest and highest creation are carrying out the will of God in the most minute as well as the most major circumstances and undertakings. Excerpts... |
Why Knowledge of the Angels is Important (289-2 Sunday 9/26/1965)Bible and many other religious and cultural examples honoring Angels given. Individuals with Angel beliefs and experiences shared, including Joy Day's experience. Angels are still in existence at this moment, carrying out God's wishes, teachings of the Angels and their helpfulness does not pertain to any one age, nor to only a certain limited amount of persons. This help is given to all who are prepared and who make themselves ready for such unfoldment and disclosure. Angels do not want our human worship, nor wish us to interfere with their labors. The more types of Angel beings we know, the better for us in our meditative work. Excerpts... |
Why the Reality of Angels Is Vital to Our Age (314-2 Sunday 10/2/1966)Flower A. Newhouse beautifully describes the great Reality of Angels in today's world. She describes the various duties and responsibilities of the different types of Angels and stresses the important role They have in our everyday life. She shares what transpires between the Kindel Archangel and a soul who has passed into the inner realms, and the tough questions one has to face about how one lived on earth. Flower also describes various experiences she had with Angels from the time she was a child on into her adult life. This is a fascinating peek into a world most people aren't even aware exists. Excerpts... |
Living with the Realization of the Angels (339-1 Sunday 10/1/1967)Flower shares that mention of the Angels was eliminated in 4th Nicene Council because of fear of rivaling the Christ. Books of Apocrypha mention Angels and Archangels. There are Angels for each of the Seven Rays. There are feminine and masculine Angels. There are many orders of Angels always near and they can do things for us that others can't do. Descriptions given of Angels and their activities. Description of hearing Angels of Song at Mt. Rainier. Description given for Angels and devas in Nature Line. Description of power center at Lake Patzcuaro, the wheel beings and colors present. Excerpts... |
The Influence of the Angels (372-1 Sunday 9/29/1968)This Michaelmas talk reveals the vastness of the Angel Kingdom and emphasizes the importance of being aware of this higher level of Beings. Flower shares insights from Gustav Davidson's dictionary on the Angels, along with references to Angels in the Bible and by other Christian Mystics. It is an informative and fascinating journey into another realm. She reminds us that the Angels need and deserve our honor, and that we shall give them forever. Excerpts... |
The Glorious Reminder of Michaelmas (401-2 Sunday 9/28/1969)Excellent talk on general Angel and Deva information Excerpts... |
Glory of Angelhood (472-2 Sunday 9/26/1971)An Angel has already had 124 initiations; first as elemental creature, then a deva, and then at long last the development of Angelhood. Astonishing beauty enfolded in color mists, and only the face, head and throat, the hands and sometimes arms, and the feet are visible. The rest is like a cloud of light about them. According to their degree of unfoldment and also their specific way of serving will the great Angels have a color aura. An Angel's eyes are very large. More orders than we can imagine, working for the world. Flower describes many of these orders: Elohim; national, state and city Angels; Angels of Time, Years, Centuries, Seasons; Angels of North, South, East, West; Planetary Angels at chakras; Solar Angels; St Michael and Warrior hosts; Angels in charge of animals; many more. Excerpts... |
Our Very Important Guardian Angels (762-1 Sunday 5/30/1982)Do you know your Guardian Angel? Do you feel her? Flower A. Newhouse addresses in great depth our relationship to our Guardian Angels. Through examples in her own life, she illustrates how this Shining One is our greatest supporter and spiritual teacher from the inner realms-a gift from God. Questions and answers in regards to Guardian Angels conclude this talk. Excerpts... |
Angels (874-2 Sunday 9/28/1986)Orthodox churches may mention but don't teach about Angels. Angels are a glorious order. They are so much higher, their purity, goodness, love and self-giving is in what they are and do for those they serve. God wanted man and the creatures to be cared for, and very lovingly. Angels were given charge of caring for us. Whoever hasn't seen an Angel or loved one, is very impoverished. Flower describes several different orders of Angels and their interactions with men, animals, other needs. Angels of healing, of love, of initiation, of time, of transformation, of guardianship, of protection, of destiny, and many others. Angels are desirous of helping people understand what it is they are to know; to realize that they should improve their relationships; to know that they can be stronger than they are. There's no mother's love, no teacher's love, no child's love, that can ever compare to your Guardian Angel's love. Wherever you go, you will be protected. Excerpts... |

Christward Principles
Christian Mysticism is simply a method of reverence and devotion to God. It is a path of attainment which leads to the Divine Reality–to first-hand knowing of God. The mystical path stresses the way of Divine union with God through illumination.
The Living Christ is the Lord of Angels and of men and the model of our own becoming. His service is the broadcasting of the Divine Christ Spirit, the light of redemption. His influence awakens in us the Christing of our own natures.
The Way of Discipleship is a way of drawing ever closer to the Divine Presence. It is a voluntary surrender of the entire self to the service of God. It pays great attention to spiritual realities and goals inspiring us toward inner growth.
Meditation and Prayer are the disciplines that most directly draw us Godward and into the inner worlds. During these moments, we consciously purify ourselves of worldly or personal preoccupations and center ourselves wholly upon consciousness of God.
The Angelic Kingdom consists of beings created by God. They, like mankind, press toward the goal of perfection and union with the Supreme Spirit. Angels are purer and more spiritual than man. Their very spirituality readily makes them mediators between Heaven and Earth.
Nature provides healing and enlightenment. When wisely trod, the path to God through nature employs every faculty inherent in man. In nature, beauty shines in all its pristine essence before us. It is for us to newly discover and translate this beauty to our spirits and our senses.
Reincarnation is the realization that life is a school, striving to awaken and quicken the Divinity within us, striving to bring man from primitive stages of unfoldment to that of greater and more glorious awareness.
