Bringing Peace to all

Angels are not there to be idolised or worshipped in any way. Instead we give all glory to God or the Divine Source, whatever you want to call it. Angels act on God's behalf by bringing peace to the world, and this may be one person at a time. It is their divine mission to bring peace to the world to help bring about a more peaceful world. If we live our live in a more peaceful way we are more in tune with our authentic self.

Third Sphere

Principalities

They work alongside the Powers. They are shown wearing a crown and carrying a sceptre. Their task is to oversee groups of people, perhaps large organisations of people such as companies, hospitals, councils, etc. They are said to inspire living things to many ideas such as art or science.

Archangels

Archangels are the most frequently referred to angels in the bible. They may be of this or other hierarchies as Archangel Michael, who is considered a Seraph. They have a unique role as God's messenger throughout history. The Eastern Rite (Roman Catholic) and many others consider him above all the angels, as Prince of the Seraphim. The angel Gabriel first appeared in the Old Testament in the prophesies of Daniel (Dn 9:21-27). He appeared to Zechariah to announce the birth of St. John the Baptist (Lk 1:11) and he proclaimed the Annunciation of Mary to be the mother of Jesus (Lk 1:26). The angel Raphael first appeared in the book of Tobit (Tobias)Tb 3:25, 5:5-28, 6-12). He proclaimed "I am the Angel Raphael, one of the seven who stand before the throne of God" (Tb 12:15).

Angels

These are closest to human beings and the material world and include guardian angels. They have the ability to access all the others angels. They deliver our prayers to God and respond with God's answers back.

Angelic Communication

The angels may communicate through what may be contrived as archaic language. The majority of angels (with the exception of Archangel Metatron; the prophet Enoch and his twin brother Archangel Sandalphon; the prophet Elijah), have not experienced a worldly existence. They more often than not communicate a great deal in symbology. Symbols are another topic in itself.

When messages are given by the angelic realm, they may be blunt, to the point and given in quite an old fashioned way with no shortened descriptives such as shouldn't; they may say should not for example. Angels and ascended masters will invariably refer to the recipient of the message as "dear one" or "child".

Traditional texts imply that they also have no lips, tongue or voice box but I have personally not found this so. They may appear tall, maybe 12 or 20 foot tall or smaller. Angels will appear to you as they wish to appear and is unique to each person. Keep your mind open and not bound by what you may expect. They always surprise!!

Do Angels Exist?

When we think of Angels we think of the traditional image of a being, predominantly male, beautiful, glowing and with wings. But is this a correct image of angels? The answer to that question is that they may appear to us in whatever form we aspire to. I personally see them as tall, gracious beings with wings and flowing robes with beautiful faces that are neither male nor female. Your view may be different. Most of my knowledge has come from traditional texts, mainly the Bible being brought up loosely with the Roman Catholic faith. As part of the Roman Catholic tradition we believed that we have a guardian angel that looks after us and that this guardian angel will be at our side, watching over us all our lives, ready to guide us to the afterlife (whilst firstly stopping off at purgatory if the soul is not ready for heaven) when we pass over. This catholic tradition is based on references in the bible such as "And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the Angels into Abraham's bosom" [Luke 16: 22].

The angels are however not restricted to the Bible. The Koran was dictated to Mohammed by the archangel Gabriel and there are examples of angels in many other religious texts.

Hopefully, you have beared with me so far and not run away because I have mentioned religion and religious texts, but this is where we get our traditional views about angels. The angels are basically there to help make us happy because happiness can be infectious to others. Think about the last time you came across someone who was wallowing in their own misery, moaning about life and generally being very unhappy. How did that make you feel? Now think of someone who was bright and happy and full of positivity (without being overbearing). Notice the difference? The angels want us to be happy but they have to have permission to make our lives joyful. There is a passage in the bible which for me is applicable to everyday life "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you" [Matthew 7:7]. In other words, if you don't ask, you don't get! And this applies to angels; they need your permission to help in your life. Try it - you may be surprised!
