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.
