 Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars.
Psalm 148:1-3 from New International Version (NIV)

Angels are messengers of God sent to light the way. In order to enjoy the company of angels, one has to be extremely sweet, pure and subtle. |

Angels are always here even if you don't believe they exist. Angels like children very much. Children can bring forward angelic qualities in their eyes and in their face. Quite often somebody will see a child and say: "Oh, my God, he looks just like an angel. It's all because they see an angel inside their eyes.

God's Angels
We read the following in the Encyclopedia Britannica about angels: "...in Western religions (i.e., Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), any of numerous benevolent spiritual beings, powers, or principles that mediate between the realm of the sacred (i.e., the transcendent realm) and the profane realm of time, space, and cause and effect. Comparable beings in Eastern religions include the Hindu avatars and the Buddhist bodhisattvas. Functioning as messengers or servants of the deity (the term angel derives from the Greek word for "messenger") or as guardians of individuals or nations, angels have been classified into ranks or hierarchies by theologians or philosophical thinkers of the major Western religions... The number of such celestial beings in the rankings -- often 4, 7, or 12 -- was generally based on the theory of planetary spheres in Hellenistic or Iranian astrology or on the hierarchy derived from Oriental monarchical government... In Judaism, the hierarchy of angels -- often called in the Old Testament the "hosts of heaven" or the "company of divine beings" -- is not strictly defined... In rabbinic literature, angels are classified into two basic groupings: higher and lower. Included among the higher group are the cherubim and seraphim, winged guardians of God's throne or chariot, and the ofannim (Hebrew: "wheels"), all of which are noted in the Old Testament. Among the sectarians associated with the Dead Sea Scrolls, the higher angels include the angels of light, darkness, destruction, and holiness."
So we know that angels love God, and serve God's creation. They feel oneness with others. Angels are full of brilliance and splendor. They are beings of compassion, depth and maturity. Usually there is one angel for each person but there may be more. On the one hand angels are all majesty. They are not only sweet and beautiful, but also very powerful. Their power is delicate and subtle. Angels have their own language. It does not sound like an earth language. Some angels come from a higher planes than others. Angels try to help mankind. Angels are not large, they are light, tall and proportionate. Angels come from the angel world to teach mankind to be more divine. They can come to anybody. All of them have wings. When angels want to fly they spread their wings. They keep them folded when they do not want to fly. Angels wings are delicate, but strong at the same time, extremely beautiful. Their food is made from ether. In between this physical earth and the higher realms, there is substance called ether. It contains all kinds of energy. It can be taken as solid food or liquid food. It is part of the cosmic life energy. Angels are always dynamic. They are constantly moving. Angels play the harp. In size, their harps are small. Their harps do not have as many strings as the harps that we have. Angels do sing, but they are more oriented towards instrumental performance. They like music more than words and melodies. Some angels are closer to God, so they see him more often. All angels have free access to God. Unless there is an emergency, they will not disturb him, because they know how busy is his schedule. Archangels are the leaders of all the angels. They have more light, brilliance, compassion, love and divine power than the other angels.
"In postbiblical Judaism -- especially in apocalyptic literature, which describes God's dramatic intervention in history -- seven angels, sometimes called archangels, lead the heavenly hosts that in the Talmud (an authoritative compendium of Jewish law, lore, and commentary) are viewed as countless. These seven, noted in the noncanonical First Book of Enoch (chapter 20), are: Uriel (leader of the heavenly hosts and guardian of sheol, the underworld); Raphael (guardian of human spirits); Raguel (avenger of God against the world of lights); Michael (guardian of Israel); Sariel (avenger of the spirits, "who sin in the spirit"); Gabriel (ruler of paradise, the seraphim, and the cherubim); and Remiel, also called Jeremiel (guardian of the souls in sheol). Of these, two (Michael and Gabriel) are mentioned in the Old Testament and two others (Raphael and Uriel) in the Apocrypha, a collection of noncanonical works..." - Encyclopedia Britannica.
Angels live indefinitely, not eternally. After some time period like 200 or 500 years they will take human incarnation or they will be dissolved. Some angels do not want to come down to a manifested form, with a gross human body, so they take incarnation on some other world. When somebody is about to die, we often hear them say that an angel has come. So they also act as the direct representative of God to take them into the other world. When we pray and meditate, we can bring forward angelic qualities in your eyes and in your face. Others will see angels inside your eyes. There are as many angels as human beings. Angel is like a direct part of our divinity. They have a lot of light, infinite affection or compassion, they will come and be of real help to you. Angels are always hovering over this earth-planet. Most of the time angels have to be invoked. Again many times they come unconditionally. Usually people invoke angels unconciously. Conciously, people think of God and then God may send an Angel as His emissary. If God wants to give a particular experience to an individual, then God will enable that person to see an angel with his human eyes. Otherwise, we have to use our intuitive vision. It can also take place in a dream. Sometimes when people dream, their intuitive eye is unconsciously open and they can see angels. On another level, sometimes, when God wants to manifest in and through someone, he will give that person an angelic touch. Angels do not work on the gross physical plane, If they try to come to the physical plane, most of the time they will be suffocated. Angels never stay here for a long time. They deal mostly with human beings. Sometimes angels fight directly with the undivine forces and sometimes they help human beings to fight the undivine forces. When they have more love for certain human beings, angels will fight against the undivine forces directly instead of giving those individuals the necessary inner strength. It depends on how much love an angel has for that particular person. Joan of Ark was greatly influenced by angels. God send an angel to Mary, who had so much faith in angels. Please visit my angel worlds. When you read and think of angels, then consciously or unconciously you are invoking them, great beings of light and messengers of God. They will come right away and help you in your daily life.
