This is an article about Angels which I wrote some weeks ago and posted in a spiritual community. I thought some of you might be interested to see it too:
As we know from most of the religions in the world, Angels appear frequently in the holy books - they are mentioned in almost every religion in the world. From Archangels Gabriel to Michael, Uriel and Rafel to the fallen Angel Lucifer, Angels are commonly spread in mankind’s awareness.
As the New Age movement began on this planet, Angels were frequently described in various books by popular authors like James Redfield and Dennis Stanfeld. Angels became popular once again – this time you can buy any colourful Angel merchandise - Angel candles, Angel clothes, Angel picture frames, Angel toys, Angel pillows, et cetera.
But, as we look away from that cheerful coloured fluffy merchandise Angels, we get back to the essence of this article. Do humans really know that Angels really do exist? And do humans really know what the Angels are here for? How do we explain to humans how it feels to be an Angel? Let me try.
No matter of their background, their religion or geographic location, there has been a number of humans ever since the beginning if time that felt different. Now, mentioning different I do not mean better that others. That amount of humans did not have any higher thoughts about themselves, or trying to reach the guru status. All those humans felt different from the very birth, they felt like they had belonged somewhere else, that they came from other place. Some of them felt like they had a mission.
Now, let’s say you were born with a feeling that you don’t belong here on this planet. Let’s say that you always felt that you came from somewhere up there. Let’s say that when you look at humans, watching their endless wars and conflicts - somewhere inside of you, you know that things are so much simpler that humans make it - and if humans will understand that truth, there will be no need for wars and fighting. Let’s say that watching the humans go to wars bring tears to your eyes over and over again. Let’s say that you feel like you have a mission – a mission to help the humans and to bring this planet love, light and peace.
Then perhaps you are an Angel, or Earth Angel as the reincarnated Angels are called here. Or perhaps you are just a good person trying to bring good to this world. Or perhaps you have seen the Matrix Trilogy way too many times. Who knows.
In case if you are an Earth Angel - no one but yourself can tell you whether you are an Angel or not. No one can appoint you to belong to a certain Angel group of a certain dimension from a certain planet, et cetera.
There are books – many New Age books - that are eager to tell you about the Angel hierarchy: the ten spheres and four levels of Kabbala Lifetree, over 40 dimensions, the tarot symbols, the diagrams and pentagrams, Ashtar Command and distant planets, different humanoid alien species, greys, reptilians, et cetera. And perhaps those books work for you – and perhaps they don’t. The choice is always yours. Those books are here to expand our awareness and to help us remember our True Selves – and some would call these books guidelines, and some would call them frauds.
But when we lay down these books fom us, when we clear our heads from the symbol discribtions, diagrams, et cetera – we will see that the world is much simpler that remembering the symbols, meditation mantras and the ranking of Archangels. The world is much more simple that that – because what matters most is how you feel inside. And that overwhelming feeling, the feeling of that it feels right – is the most overpowering and most important. And no one can take that feeling away from you.
Some say that there are many Angels who have chosen to reincarnate in human bodies especially in this very significant era. The age of Pisces is almost over and the age of Aquarius is about to begin. Some say that many Angels have chosen to reincarnate here to help the Awakening that will probably culminate in 2012. Some say that people who believe that they are the reincarnations of Angels are escapism.
Due to my research I have come to knowledge that when an Angel chooses to reincarnate in a certain human body, that human's reactions are always a bit different from other humans. Perhaps that human laughs too loud sometimes. Perhaps that human like to eat too much. Perhaps that human reacts too ethusiastically or too violently on the things that other humans react normal.
Image if this is your first time here on this planet. You possess a great knowledge and memories from your past from other planets, but this is your first time here. And you have to be a human and do what humans do. How do you translate all that you are, all knowledge that you posess in a simple human language?
Everything is new, sounds are too loud, things taste too strong, others humans react violently, things happen too fast. Eventually, you learn how to be a human. And it takes time, years, even decades. But inside you are still yourself, inside you are still the one who came from up there.
When Angels choose to reincarnate in human bodies for the first time, they must face a whole new world. This planet is not yet fully civilized. The Angels must face great temptations - and if they are strong enough - they will resisit them. And there are many temptations.
Perhaps the bodies that they have chosen to reincarnate in were hurt, bullied and abused. Perhaps other humans were mean to them. Perhaps even someone raped them, mistreated them, et cetera. Many terrible things can happen. And it's so easy turning to the darkness and fight back. It's so easy to plot revenge and start a war.
But it is so difficult to turn the other cheek.
No matter how bad an Angel is treated by the life on this planet, it's a great and hard challenge to ignore the bad, to walk away, to turn the other cheek. Perhaps that is the difference between Angels and Fallen Angels. Perhaps the Fallen Angels are the Angels who have turned to revenge, to the darkness. But there are no absolutes, no black and white, there is only the Good. Because underneath all that, everything is Good. Yet humans have not realized it yet. When they will do it one day, all the wars and suffering will end. But that is another discussion.
So, to sum things up - no there are no absolutions - there in only that feeling inside of you that it feels Right. And no one can influence that feeling - not the people around you, not the authorities, not even the church. You can be Wicca or Buddhist or Pagan or a Druid - yes you can be anything you want.
And there is relaly no hierarchy. Am I better that you because I feel that I am and Angel and you feel that you are a Druid? Is Archangel Michael better than Archangel Raziel because he has the higher ranking? None of it really dosen't matter. The hierarchy is the definition of this dimension, this world. There is really no hierarchy. No one is better than others. Angels are not better than humans, Wicca is not better that Buddhism, et cetera. Its' all the same - it all bounds in the same source - the love.
And love is really what matters in this universe. And especially in these times, love is essential.
Love is all that matters.
