“For twenty years I’ve read spiritual books. I’m more hopeful and encouraged by your book than I’ve been in years. Thank you for giving us self-empowering prayers connecting us directly to God.” Gail McGraw, AZ. “We, the Diamond/Heart Angels, wish to send our greetings and great admiration to Earth and everyone. We have been partnering with human beings from the beginning. The love we feel in our hearts for you is universal. Look around; you will notice subtle changes occurring in your thoughts and in your lives. In each atom of your being, miracles are available for everyone now. Look for the good in all and everything, and you will know yourselves in WEness as manifest GodLove.” Through visions, and Q&A, Book Two of Symbols is a continuing teaching from the Diamond/Heart Angels. While absorbing their love into our being, each of us is being asked to hold LOVE thoughts for others, sharing their GodLove outwardly with others in a continuous spiral of co-creation with God’s Heavenly Angels and ourselves. They said, “Become part of the love we send you, absorb it, and extend it to all, according to God’s will for the greater good of all.”
