Angels Within

 By Elizabeth Gaines

Angels are super natural beings who radiate between God and mortals. Angels are God’s emissaries. Do they exist in their own right, in realms celestial? Probably so. Does an energy, a vibration we would interpret as love and light coming from Gods head take form as it interacts with human consciousness? Probably. Perhaps it's our own need to interact with the semi divine messengers, spiritual companions, protectors and guides that allows for this existence. We need to see divine beauty as our own near likeness and allow for this existence. Our Judaic-Christian God is without form, imageless, abstract and remote. The exalted image of ourselves is generally how the angel is depicted, helps us to feel closer to the source of all being. All esoteric and mystical traditions teach oneness. All things are a part of all other things. Quantum Physics tells us there is no separation between object and observer. We are inexorably part of everything we think we observe. Consequently we and the Angels are completely bound up with one another. Good angels are a reflection of that projection. They become the part of ourselves we are happy about. They are a projection of our higher self. The dark angel or demon is then the part we have difficulty seeing in our selves. This projection becomes that of our lower and oppositional nature. The dynamics between the two are what most stories, myths, and legends are about. As we struggle to face the demon within us, we begin the path of psychic integration and spiritual growth. We can’t grow without this facing of the dark side of the self. Bringing the dark into the light of consciousness renders it powerless, giving the light additional strength. The Angel is a deep and profound mystery as deep as the mystery of the soul. It can be likened to infinity and eternity. Probing the mystery leads us to endless permutations that deepen our insights into ourselves.

The experience of an angel today is as powerful as in Biblical times, with the same life changing effects. The prophets were ascended to different vibration dimensions called heaven and hell to create change. Here in the state of consciousness called heaven god was so available that laws and moral codes were given to these visionaries. The epiphanies today, are more personal but perhaps exactly what is needed. By way of the angel within we plumb the depths of the unknown and are miraculously given precisely what is needed. The wonder is that this changes lives in a dramatic way and entices us to carry on with renewed hope. Isn’t God wonderful? Our angels are both outward and inward They exist independently and interdependently.

Angels are Gods emissaries. They exist only to do the will of God for all creation. Angels are not the same as guides but can be assigned like a guide. Guides are part of a group of souls that continually reincarnate playing different roles within the group until spiritual perfection is attained. After this peak is attained, the soul returns to the god head, the Eternal light. Our Judaic Christian Ethic tells us about the story of angels and choice making when it comes to will creating the separation of good and evil. Lucifer was separate, self centered and enamored with himself. As a consequence he rules in dark and hidden space after masquerading as the light. He opposes, He doesn’t surrender to god goodness and light. He is fueled by fear, chaos and disorder. This energy is quite clever and when we fail to look inside ourselves Lucifer can be active in us. If a person can’t see who they are, they haven’t had the courage to see their own darkness. Then the willingness to surrender to God doesn’t easily take place. Seeing the demon within brings humility, integration and growth.
