David Curzon’s Angels
Posted on 29 January 2010
Perhaps there is an angel for each emotion we feel. And an angel for delivering us into the mercy of release from emotions we no longer need in any given situation. Some emotions raise our consciousness and help us to experience anything we aspire to in the way of exalted joy, other emotions are necessary for teaching us the depths of misery. I am learning about the poet and philosopher David Curzon and loving reading his wonderful and wise statements about Jacob’s Ladder and how the ladder represents the emotions of the heart. I reflect that as we travel up and down that ladder, we experience a range of human emotion and make choices based on knowledge we receive from those emotions. We go up toward great heights and down into low lows during our time on Earth. The spectrum of emotion guides us and hopefully, we are able to balance ourselves on the ladder of highs and lows. Maybe angels, each assigned to a particular emotion, are there with us as we climb.

Another great sketch! I like the Jacob’s Ladder idea of experiencing the highs and lows by climbing the ladder during our life. We often take a step forward and then two backward. Angels specializing in different emotions, etc., is something to think about. I know I have a Guardian Angel who is with me every moment — that she calls in a “specialist” now and then when needed is a nice thought. Mom

I sounds as though this would all tie into the chakra system as well…
Another thoughtful and beautiful sketch, Elaine!
Thank you for inspiring us all.
Wow, powerful philosophy, and very interesting too, I think of this as “evolving,” as we grow, or choose to grow we don’t react to certain situations like we used to because we’ve learned to manage things better through experience. However, some people choose not to grow from these emotional experiences and always react in the same manner sometimes to the point that they’ll harm others or in some cases making a spectacle of themselves as they’re behaving too immaturely for their age.
