the ANGEL project


Some mystics believe that a soul grows in steps from a mineral, to a plant, then an animal, and then to a human. When the human resolves to die, a soul could become an angel. The Persian Sufi mystic poet Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi wrote in his poem Masnavi:

I died as inanimate matter and arose a plant,
I died as a plant and rose again an animal.
I died as an animal and arose a man.
Why then should I fear to become less by dying?
I shall die once again as a man
To rise an angel perfect from head to foot!
Again when I suffer dissolution as an angel,
I shall become what passes the conception of man!
Let me then become non-existent, for non-existence
Sings to me in organ tones, 'To him shall we return.'
(Translation from Wikisource, Masnavi I Ma'navi, Book III, Story XVII)’’

THINGS with WINGS


We're now working on a new book ANGELS. A limited edition, hand made book, filled with angel illustrations by Helene Lacelle and the funny semi-history, semi-accurate, semi-complete view of angels from the beginning of times to the end of times by Peter Evanchuck. Angel research is going well so this book will be filled with funny, serious and other stuff for your reading pleasure. A slim book for people to chuckle over, to learn and to have fun.
