The following is from Lyndon LaRouche’s keynote speech to the conference of the Schiller Institute and International Caucus of Labor Committees, in Alexandria, Virginia on Jan. 17, 1998.
What I mean by being an angel, is this: You’re born, right? Well, did something happen before you were born? I mean, perhaps you were sent here? Perhaps you were an angel. But don’t look for wings, because nobody gave you any. You don’t have any magical powers, you weren’t given any. You were only given Reason, the power of Reason. You weren’t told what your mission was. You were supposed to figure that out when you got here. But what you’ve got to do, is you’ve got to find your mission, like the Good Samaritan found his mission; you’ve got to find the mission you’ve got to fulfill, perform a miracle, figure out how to do it, succeed, and then, when it comes time to pass on, people will say, “That was an angel who was here at the time that angel was needed.”
