“Every visible thing in this world is under the responsibility of an angel.”

St. Augustine

 

But what exactly is an angel?

If we go by theological definitions, an angel is a non-physical being mentioned in various religions and mythologies. They do not belong to any sect or religion and are considered genuinely non-denominational.

People are generally aware of some of the tasks of angels, which include protecting and guiding human beings. On a larger scale, they are also responsible for carrying out universal and planetary tasks. You may have come across the terms “lords of water, fire, wind and directions” – they can be understood as angels working in a senior position with greater power and responsibility. They can be considered agents or even engineers of the fundamental forces of nature.

 

A Little Angelic History

The word angel in English is a mixture of the Old English “Engel” and the Old French “angele”. These are derived from the late Latin “angelus”, meaning messenger which is taken from late Greek.

In Hebrew, mal’āk̠ ‘ĕlōhîm means God’s messenger, while in Arabic, they are called Malak. Hindus use the term Deva to refer to angels.

Daniel is believed to be the first biblical figure to refer to angels individually by name, mentioning Gabriel (God’s chief messenger) in Daniel 9:21 and Michael (the holy fighter) in Daniel 10:13.

In Zoroastrianism, there are different angel-like figures. The Amesha Spentas, who are the six divine beings created by Ahura Mazdā (“Lord of Wisdom”) according to Zarathustra’s Gathas, function as “archangels” and are considered as such in the Zoroastrian writings of Middle Persia.

 

How do angels look and act?

The angels are also going through their own cycle of evolution and reaching higher standards of perfection. They are our co-citizens on Earth and in the Solar System, and should be considered less material beings. Like us, they were also born from the same father and are divine in their origin. We are both traveling toward the same goal, which is union with God and the perfect manifestation of the divine attributes.

Angels differ from us in many ways, mainly because they do not have a physical body. This usually makes them invisible to our ordinary vision. The matter that forms their bodies is super subtle compared to ours, and therefore their vibrational frequency is invisible to our visual spectrum. Our eyes cannot physically see them.

According to Geoffrey Hodson, “The various kingdoms of nature are their field of evolution. They are found in the midst of nature – in the forest, by the flowers of the meadow and garden, in the water, the air, the fire, the earth, as well as associated with the metals and jewels of the mineral kingdom. Wherever divine life manifests, there are the fairy children of God, the nature spirits and their elder brothers, the angels, who are bright and beautiful incarnations of their life. “

Although they have no physical body, they certainly have a bodily existence. Its forms are creations of light. The material is self-luminous, and every atom of its being is a shining particle of light. The way they use it looks a lot like ours. In fact, it is modeled after the same structure as the basic human form.

The appearance of angels is always remarkable to human vision because of the way their energy keeps flowing in and out of their bodies and their brilliant auras. The powers they control and manipulate are continuously radiating from them, producing an appearance of a continuous stream of miniature “northern lights”.

Distinct centers of force, vortices, and certain clearly defined lines of force are visible on their bodies. Defined shapes are produced from his aura, which sometimes suggests a crown on his head or open wings of bright and ever-changing hues.

 

How to communicate with angels?

Some people think that angels are messengers that come to us from God only on significant or critical occasions. However,
“angels are always with us; that they do not come to us only on important occasions, but are always within our reach.” –
Geoffrey Hodson.

Angels can be invoked for healing, guidance, help, and protection whenever a person needs it. Although angels are there to help and protect, based on the concept of free will, they do not interfere with a person’s free will.

There are many ways and methods of asking for their help, including verbally, mentally, in writing, or visualization. It doesn’t matter how we ask. What is important is our intention as the angels answer the “prayer of their heart”.

We can also recite an affirmation of gratitude, thanking the angels for solving the problem.

Consider, for example, a person suffering from depression. If we wholeheartedly wish to dispel the dark cloud and see the light of happiness shine on him once again, we can think first of the qualities of courage and joy. Then we can invoke these qualities within the sufferer. We can strongly use our willpower to determine that the dark cloud be removed and replaced with joy.

Then we can invoke the angels of light and power to charge him with their radiant energy until he is full of light and happiness. In addition, we can ask them to stay after we close our prayers and ask them to push depression away, thus allowing the light of their own divinity to shine through once again. In this way, the sufferer can be filled with courage, peace, and joy.

Another way to work with the angels is through group meditation and blessing. In this way, angels can help improve a situation that deals with the whole world and humanity.

 

“Group meditation is always the most effective way to achieve these ends. Those who are united and united in their aspiration to serve by these methods may well form groups for this special purpose. Sitting in a circle, they should direct their thoughts toward harmony and unity, until they feel that they themselves and their cooperating angels are one.” Geoffrey Hodson
