1. Winston Churchill - A Destiny Fulfilled

I saw a documentary last year about Winston Churchill (part of the Great Britons series). I couldn't help but be struck by the role that 'the hand of destiny' played in his life. Without the leadership of Churchill during the war, Britain and the allies would probably have lost the war to Hitler and the world would be a very different place. We think of Churchill now as a great man and a great leader, but it was not always so. Yet there was clearly a path for him to follow.

Churchill had a less than distinguished career in the army. He fought in the Boer war in Africa, and it was here that a remarkable incident occurred. It was in the heat of battle that fate intervened. He described it thus

"All about me people were dying. The bullets were raining in on us. Men were falling to my left and to my right. How I was not hit is a miracle. Yet I had a sense that someone was watching over me that day, protecting me and keeping me safe. From that day forth, I knew that I had been saved for a reason, and that I had a destiny to fulfill."

Churchill was a lone voice from many years as Chamberlain and others talked of peace and reconciliation with Hitler. It was not until that proved impossible, and a strong leader was needed to stand up to the Nazis, that Churchill emerged from the wilderness to fulfill his fateful role in history. Spared earlier on the battlefield, his destiny was then fulfilled. We owe a big debt to Churchill, and to the angels.

Whether great or small, I believe that each of us has a destiny to be fulfilled this lifetime.

2. New Ministry For Peace

It was recently brought to my attention that the UK has created a Ministry of Peace, dedicated to creating peace throughout the world, and also in our own society. It aims to work through peaceful means, working both inside and outside the government. It was created on 14th October 2003 when MP John McDonnell presented a bill, which was passed unopposed, to create a Ministry for Peace and a Commission for Peace

The Ministry for Peace was created out of the opposition to the Gulf War, and a sense that violence is not the answer. On an international basis, the idea is to work towards lasting peace in the world, tackling the causes of conflict, and creating peaceful means for conflict resolution. It is argued that if there were a greater number of peaceful alternatives to war, we would not rush into armed conflict quite so quickly. And that creating new and lasting foundations for peace may help to bring it into reality.

On a more local basis, it also recognizes that violence exists throughout our society, from violent crime to domestic violence against women and children. It aims to begin new initiatives to tackle these problems, so that we can create a foundation for peace all the way from the bottom to the top. The ministry has open meetings at the Houses of Parliament to which public are invited to attend (next dates on the web-site - see below).

. (Did you know that during the last 1000 years, Britain has spent more years at war than it has enjoying peace?).

The web-site sets out the aims of the Ministry for Peace in a simple, inspiring and very clear manner - do go and take a look and find out more. Perhaps you might like to get involved and support the work in some?

www.ministryforpeace.org

In this new millenium, it seems to me to be entirely appropriate to support new initiatives for peace. I particularly like the quote on the web-site:

At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done.
Then they begin to hope it can be done.
Then they see it can be done.
Then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago

Let's wish the Ministry for Peace every success in its important work in creating a more peaceful world for us all.


3. Find Your Life Path - Free gift for all Readers

As a gift for all our readers, we have attached my Introductory Guide to Discovering your Life Purpose. This guide is intended to help inspire you towards your grandest goals for you and the planet.

It also serves as an introduction to my Life Path courses. Naturally we hope that if you read the introductory guide, you will be inspired to take one of the programmes (below), but I also hope that the guide itself will plant some useful seeds of hope and inspiration amongst everyone that reads it. Accept it with our complements.

Please feel free to pass it on to anyone else who may be interested. It is also available at our web-site, together with detail sof our life path and angel courses, at www.guidedbyangels.info

4. New Life Path Programmes - Wanted, people to test the new programmes

Have you found your true path and calling yet? Have you completed your mission here on earth for this lifetime? Or do you feel there is more work for you to do in this lifetime yet?

Would you like to understand clearly why your life has turned out the way it has so far, and the Right Path and Direction ahead for you? Would you like to know what you are destined to accomplish this lifetime?

I believe that each of us has a role to play in helping to improve the planet. When we find not just our gifts, but discover our Life Path, Purpose and Mission, we will understand our lives fully, and see clearly the path that lies ahead for us. Whether you are considering changing careers, struggling to develop your healing business, or seeking to find your 'higher' path, discovering your Life Purpose and Destiny lights the way. Why struggle on in the dark when you can come into the light and discover your true path and highest contribution to the world?

This new year I am offering the chance for you to discover your Life Path, Mission and Purpose, and How to Make It Happen, through one of my 3 divinely inspired Life Purpose courses. It is my gift, my pleasure, and part of my life purpose, to help people discover their true reason for being here - their life purpose and how they can uniquely help the planet. I also show you how to be divinely inspired and assisted in implementing your life purpose, for the good of yourselves and the planet.

I am offering courses to help you Discover YOUR Life Purpose and How To Make It Happen in 3 formats.

This course helps you to

"Truly inspiring. After years of searching, I have finally found my path"

Once you see the bigger picture and plan for your life, everything will make sense in your life. You will be inspired to create a new and more fulfilling life for yourself, and to perform your grandest work and fulfill your highest dreams.

You can do this work in one of 3 formats :

1. via our Home Study Course
2. on an individual basis, via One to One Sessions with me, or
3. via our first ever Life path Group Programme,

I am seeking up to 100 people who would like to be among the first to take the Home Study Course, and between 5-10 people who would like to be the first to take my Group Programme. Your feedback during the course will be vital to help refine it, before we make it widely available around the world, and inspire as many people as possible to 'do their bit' for the world. Prices for the course start from just £16 per month (for concessions), so its affordable for just about anyone.

Alternatively, you can call arrange to conduct the course on a one to one basis with me, (or have one initial session with me first, to help you decide what to do next).

If you are interested in joining either of these Life Path courses, I would like to hear from you as soon as possible.
I have included a brochure with all the relevant details for you to consider (attached) - please read it and see if it 'calls' to you. If its right for you, you'll know.

If you would like one of the places on either test course, please return the completed forms (or call me) by the 23rd January.
To book a place, or if you have any queries, please either

Call me (Darren Linton) on 0845 4589 567 (local rate call) or
Email me at : mail@guidedbyangels.info

Discovering your Life Purpose is not a 'quick fix' to all your problems - rather, it provides the Clarity, Direction, Inspiration, and Guidance for the rest of your life, allowing you to follow your highest and best path.

I look forward to hearing from those of you who feel 'called' to this work. Do enjoy the free guide.


5. Saving The Planet - Book Recommendation - The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight by Thom Hartmann

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM CURRENTLY FACING MANKIND AND THE PLANET?

This is a worthwhile question to ask, and one that deserves answers and urgent action. What would be your answer to this question? War, poverty, ignorance, global warming, starvation, disappearing rain forests, environmental destruction? Unfortunately, we are spoiled for choice for our biggest problem- the list is long. Do you know the true severity of these problems, (and many other stark crisis that you probably have not even started to consider yet)? Are you aware that most of these problems will get WORSE, not better, and almost certainly reach crisis point within our own lifetimes? Can we afford to remain in ignorance much longer?

Thom Hartmann's book 'The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight' is, I believe, potentially one of the most important books ever written. In it, he sets out in clear terms, the stark future and severity of the global problems that face mankind and the world. We cannot afford to bury our heads anymore, like an Ostrich burying its head in the sand, because time is running out for us all. The book is a 'wake up call' that enlightens us to the problems facing the world. It also calls on us to spread the word, and offers some simple ways in which all of us can play our part. It completely transformed my view of the world, and others have been shocked and astonished by what is written here. I urge everyone to read it, so that we might all co-operate and do more to save this precious world of ours, which is tinkering on the edge of disaster.

I do not mean to sound like a doom-sayer, but read the book for yourself, and you can judge the severity and urgency of the problems for yourself. If you care about yourself, the planet, and the lives of your children and grandchildren, read this book.

To take just one example, which also explains the somewhat unusual title of the book, let us look at fossil fuels. Coal, gas and oil were created by processes which took thousands of years of ancient sunlight, plant growth, decay and fossilization to create the coal gas and oil which we use today. Our entire civilization is based on the use of these fossil fuels - energy for homes, transport, industry, our entire way of life consumes these limited and finite resources. These sources of fuel - the foundations of our way of life in the West - will run out between 2030 - 2050, based on CURRRENT consumption rates (goodness knows what happens if 2 billion Chinese people and those in other third world countries consume ever greater amounts of power too).
What will happen when the last coal, gas and oil (the last hours of ancient sunlight) runs out? What happens then? Will our society collapse? World War Three over the last drops of oil? (You see why the US are interested in middle east oil?). What will happen? Has anyone considered this?

Ah, you say, renewable energy will save the day. Really? Germany, currently the most advanced country in terms of setting targets for use of alternative fuels, has set a target of having one third of its power needs created from renewable resources by the year 2030. If the most advanced nation on earth is only aiming for one third of its power to come from elsewhere by the time the world's energy reserves run out, what hope is there for us?

If its any comfort, that's the least of our problems - there are far more urgent issues that need to be tackled before then. Now do you see the need for this book? Read it and be awakened and inspired. Available from all the usual bookshops (published by Harmony books ISBN 0-609-60546-1

Do you remember the Earth Rio Summit of 1991? It was a gathering of leaders from all over the world to discuss the urgent need to take steps to save the environment. Can any of you name one lasting initiative that came out of the summit? We all need to do more.

I am not alone in recommending this book.

"One of the most important books you will ever read"
Neale Donald Walsch, author of Conversations With God.

For all of you with even an ounce of interest in the environment, the third world, our future, and the future of the planet, it is a 'must read' book.

6. Angel Story

It is always a pleasure to hear from delegates of our Guided By Angels course, to hear how they are communicating with their guides and angels, and to receive their news and stories of how they have been helped and blessed by the angels. This story dropped through my letter box recently from one of the course students, who is happy to share the story with you.

"I was in trouble. I knew Christmas would be a tight squeeze. Then, the tutor on my crystal healing course told us we could obtain an extra diploma on bach flower remedies by attending a two day course, as we had already covered most of the material. It cost £65. Then we had a domestic accident that required more expenditure. Then to top it all, my long-standing back problem rendered me almost immobile. The chiropractor told me I needed 5 or 6 sessions with him at £25 each. That was on top of the £70 initial consultation and x-rays. There was no way I could meet all these bills, so in desperation I called on my angels to help. Three days later I received a cheque in the post for three days work I had done a few weeks ago and not been paid for. Then, on top of this, I received an unexpected tax rebate of £194. I was on cloud nine and thanked my angels profusely."

I and many others have experienced similar examples of the angels intervening to assist with bills. It does not work every time for everyone, but I have heard many, many examples of the angels coming to people's assistance in times of need. The angels are here to help us in many ways.


7. Angel Poem for our Readers

One of my clients and friends, a charming French lady called Roselle, who is currently living in Scotland, has the gift of writing angel poetry. She has written literally hundreds of poems over the years. I asked her if she would be willing to write an angel poem for this newsletter, and she kindly agreed. Here is her angel poem, written especially for us. I hope you enjoy the poem, and the knowledge that each of us is capable of opening up to angelic messages.

There is a language
Not spoken in France
Clearer than English
That helps us advance

Not found among humans
They are gifts from the angels
Gold at the Rainbow's end
Their words smell of Rose Petals

Like messages sung
By red-breasted robins
The angel tongue
Speaks in Sweet Blessings

Its symbols are clear
No need for degrees,
Simply open your heart
To tune in is free.

From the angels, the message is clear
For this newsletter
Angel Blessings. Happy New Year
To all you Readers!


8. Messages from your Angels

By now most of you will have experienced 'co-incidences', i.e. a little assistance from above, white feathers, angel guidance in your life, and/or a near miss or sense of 'somebody up there is looking after me'. We know there are greater forces at work in our lives, guiding and protecting us. We have guides, angels, archangels, God and others (such as the spirit of relatives who have passed over) watching over us, and lending us their support. Their aim is always to help us - to help us with our difficulties and questions, and to guide us along our right path. You have probably sensed this at times in your life.

But what if they were able to SPEAK to us? What messages would they like to bring us? What answers would they give to the questions that have been plaguing us for so long? What words of love, wisdom and encouragement would they speak to us, if we could communicate with our angels?

Well, in case you haven't got the message yet, you CAN. Some people call psychic hotlines or visit mediums for readings and answers to questions. However, we all have the ability to learn how to tune in for ourselves, so that you can speak to your guides and angels whenever you wish. Some of you may receive occasional inspiration or messages already. You can develop much further.

Can you imagine the difference it would make to your life to be able to ask questions, and receive wise and loving answers direct from your guides and angels? It would be like having a telephone line to your angels. Oh what a relief, what joy, and what inspiration it would bring to be able to receive their messages.

Does this interest you?

If so, take another look at my Guided By Angels angel course. The course was channelled from the angels specifically to help people to connect with their angels. It empowers you

1. to be able to work more closely with your angels, to produce more co-incidences and miracles in all areas of your life, and
2. to learn how to TALK with your guides and angels, so they can give you the answers and messages you need

The angels rejoice when another soul connects fully with their angels.

I have had such wonderful feedback from people taking the angel course. It is magical and life-enhancing. The angels want more of us to connect, so we can raise the vibration and consciousness of the planet. It helps not only ourselves, but the world.

Here are just a couple of recent quotes

"The course isn't just learning - it's a way of life. I never knew life could be this way - easy, comfortable and beautiful. My angels are now my constant companions. I am loved and guided. What more could you ask? A truly sensational course."

"A wonderful, simple programme for light-workers everywhere. This is an easy and comprehensive course that is worth its weight in gold."

It is the key that unlocks your connection with your angels. I am surprised that more people are not taking the programme. It is a gift from the angels. Although I channelled it, I can recognize the hand of the divine at work in its contents.

For all of you who are interested in angels, and would like to develop your connection with them further, I invite you to take a look at the course and see if this is something that is right for you this year. Within about 12 weeks, you can be chatting away with your angels, and enjoying a better quality of life. I would love ALL of you readers to take the course, for I know how much good it can do for individuals and the world, to have people working ever more closely with their angels. You must decide if and when it is right for you to take this wonderful angel course. I'm sure you'll know - you'll be guided.

To make it easier, I am even offering 30 DAY FREE TRIAL to everyone who enrolls during January (see below).

Have a look at the course details at the website: www.guidedbyangels.info

You can sign up on-line, or print off the brochure and enroll by post. Alternatively, you can even phone me with your credit card and book by phone. I offer concessions, plus payment by installment, plus free home trial. What more could you want? The course is there waiting to spread its angelic light to the world to all who are interested.

9. Angel Course - 30 DAY FREE TRIAL IF YOU ENROL IN JANUARY

10. Individual sessions, Angel Readings and Life Guidance

As ever, I continue to offer a few sessions each month to people who may want some individual, one to one guidance. Perhaps you are not sure which of the above courses is right for you, and you want some initial guidance first, before taking one of the courses. Maybe you need some personal guidance, or need some clearing work, to help you move forward. You can try a session, and see what emerges, before deciding upon further steps. We can cover whatever you wish in the session.

Sessions can be held by telephone, or you can come and visit me here in Chelmsford, 30 minutes from London. For an initial session, I will send you a questionnaire to complete beforehand, which allows me to prepare and gain some initial guidance for our session. We then spend 2 hours exploring and resolving your issues. I can help you to channel messages from your angels, or channel messages on your behalf for you. We can explore your angel connection, problems, blocks, your life path, and/or any other issues. Reading your questionnaire, preparing, and conducting the 2 hour session with you takes about 3 hours of my time. For this I charge £75. You can pay by cash, credit card or cheque. Phone or email me to book a session
