All About Angels

What is an Angel?

An ”Angel” is a divine being, a soul just like the souls who choose human form, who for a time chooses to interact in physical reality but in non-human form, mostly not visible to humans. Souls choose Angel form primarily as a way to assist humanity and other species, but at times they choose Angel form from simple curiosity.

 

Soul-wise, a soul in human form and a soul in this Angel form are identical, except that a soul in nonphysical Angel form retains all the knowledge that humans intentionally forget while in physical form in order to learn and evolve and grow the All-That-Is. Because of this, souls in Angel form are able to communicate concepts to humans that humans have less ready access to.

 

Why do we feel good when we think of Angels?

Many people are naturally attracted to the wisdom and sense of complete protection that Angel energy offers. When you understand that when you interact with Angel energy you are, in essence, reminding yourself of what it feels like to be in non-physical form and to know all the innate wisdom that non-physical human souls know, then you understand the attraction and feeling of comfort that Angel energy provides.

 

What are Angels like?

Angel wisdom is very loving in nature. People who are attracted to Angelic messages desire a connection to the goodness in humanity, and to the overall goodness of the Universe. Angelic messages are loving and inspiring, and they help people connect through their crown chakras into the expansive universal divine energy of the All-That-Is.

 

Are Angels good or bad?

Some people find Angel energy frightening. This stems from ingrained beliefs given them while as children, or collected from the collective consciousness, that Angels represent the opposite of Evil and therefore are a force strong enough to kill. Ancient stories of Angels wielding powers over people are stored in the collective human consciousness, and these can be understandably disturbing. We assure you that Angels are simply a different expression of a human soul, and therefore possess no especial supernatural powers different from any that ordinary physical-form humans possess. 

 

Still, it can be unnerving to encounter an energy that seems otherworldly. It is natural, perhaps, to assign such an energy supernatural powers. But it is human birthright to remember and grow to understand all that is typically forgotten between lifetimes, even though this process takes hundreds of not thousands of lifetimes . Connecting with Angels is a shortcut to remembering that which humans have forgotten.

 

How to connect with Angels

You likely have been approached by Angels at various times in your lifetime, or heard stories of people who encountered them.

Anyone “magically” left unhurt from a tragic car crash likely experienced Angelic intervention.

Stories abound of people left standing a distance from their now-crumpled cars, as if pulled out by an invisible force. This is often the work of Angels.

Angels also leave calling cards, little signs that they exist and are available for you, in the forms of random feathers, the “right” books that fall off of bookstore shelves, and repeated sightings of numeric sequences such as 11:11, 2:22, etc.

 

Connect consciously to Angels through creativity

If you wish to consciously connect with Angelic energy, you can most easily do so through a creative endeavor. Angels are able to assist with art of many forms, helping people break through artist blocks or simply to overcome inherent shyness about expressing their  creativity.

If you want to invite Angelic energy into your life, pick up a paintbrush, mold some clay, or artistically rearrange your furniture. Angelic energy awaits your creative forces, and can augment your abilities in ways you only now imagine.

 

Why do Angels help?

As human souls choosing to spend a period of time in non-human form, Angels have a vested interest in helping to evolve humanity, just as your soul does.

Human souls in their non-physical state may assume a number of guises to help other souls in their life’s challenges as humans, but collective human consciousness is particularly receptive to receiving information and general energetic assistance from souls in Angel form.

Humanity’s mythological structures developed stories of connection with otherworldly beings, and religions welcome these connections because they appear to adhere to religious strictures. In reality, humans and humans-as-Angels co-created the advent of Angelic energy in religious texts and stories, so as to encourage people to interact with Angels and therefore to obtain much-needed assistance in navigating the trials of life in a human body.

 

Why do souls choose to be Angels?

Some souls choose Angel form for a time simply out of curiosity and not as much from a desire to be of help, however, after a short time in Angel form they discover the rewards of assisting people, especially because they remember what it feels like to be in a human body and be largely blind and deaf to the enormous amount of wisdom that souls have access to when in non-physical form.

Angels are inherently compassionate to humans as a result, and this is why their messages are rarely those of love, acceptance, and inspiration.

 

What about the different “famous” Angels?

Several Angels are accumulated archetypal energies that have a collective agreement to assist humanity as well as individuals throughout history.

These Angels are not comprised of a single soul, the way Angels typically are, but instead are a collective and act as an archetype.

Their names, as “archangels”, reflective this archetypal energy.

Different individual souls help fill these roles at different times, but each contributes to the overall archetype of that particular Angel.

The Archangel Michael, for instance, occupies the Warrior archetype and therefore has a warrior nature that is helpful in times of action, while the Archangel Uriel tends to have a more healing overall nature, being of the Lover archetype.

 

Angelic messages help us

Messages from these collective archetypal Archangels tend to be consistent over time and reflect the nature of their particular archetype.

Many people feel attracted to these messages, because they also reflect basic human archetypes but add the additional dimensions of Angelic knowledge that humans have forgotten and yearn to remember.

These messages are particularly helpful in times of great global upheaval, and remind humanity and individuals of their constant connection to the Divine and to the All-That-Is that is the Universe and all its creation.

I’ve spent the past ten days in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, far from my present home in the northeast but closer, much closer, to my true spiritual home, and during this time one of my specific goals was to immerse myself into a deeper connection with Nature.  Though my home is in a semi-rural area, affording me an opportunity to frequently bike through rolling hills amid cornfields and farmhouses, I really don’t feel all that connected with the nature element of it usually.  Perhaps it’s because I don’t connect energetically with the space, or resist a deeper connection; perhaps it’s the human element in a long-inhabited space that has overwritten the elements of nature, but in any case I felt a huge difference in my little cabin in the forest, a short walk from the beach, easily moving into a space of love and appreciation for Nature and my place within it.  I spent several hours roaming the trails through the forest, meandering along the beach, and standing in the rain under the trees at night.

 

And then I upped the ante considerably and spent some time in a different forest last night.  

 

I entered the forest under a nearly-full moon, bright on a cloudless night, and instantly I felt a different sort of welcoming, an embrace, an invitation.  Through connecting with the trees who are themselves all connected and always aware of that connection to one another, to the earth, and to All That Is, I could reach back into time and feel roots tapping into the dawning of human consciousness on the planet with such primordial innocence that it took my breath away. 

 

At the same time I was aware of every possibility that continues to stretch before us in time: possibilities for each one of us and all the myriad possibilities available at any given moment, every choice, every road taken and not taken, and I felt vast, knowing that I was a part of everything that ever has been and everything still yet to come.  I was as tall as the trees and as bright as the moon, and I turned my face toward her, accepting the spotlight, fully acknowledging my completeness and perfection.

 

To say this was a joyous and magical experience doesn’t quite do it justice.

 

But it served as a wonderful reminder, one that I will take back to my home with me and one that I offer you now, that our connection with Nature is an essential of simply being human.  It’s part of us, and to deny it is to deny part of Self.

 

Afterwards, I channeled this:

 

There is of course value in connecting with animals, trees, and other elements of what you consider to be “nature”. These elements, are of course, part of your home, part of your world, and are as such connected to you, to humans, in a very intimate way.  You share space.  You share air.  You share resources.  Not only that, but you share in the creation of your world, the global creation of the reality you know as life on the physical plane.  And because of that, there is an undying connection between you as a human and ALL of the so-called “natural” elements of Nature.

 

Some of you feel this connection more deeply, more emotionally, than others.  Some feel a return, when confronted with Nature, especially in her most raw state, to that innocent and childlike state of simply Being, existing, that lies dormant within all of you.  And as such, you feel it deeply when one of nature’s children, one element of the intricate tapestry that is constantly being woven and re-created, moves through natural transition into another state.  There is, for you, a deep sense of loss, as there is the recognition not only of the timelessness of transformation and the cycles of life on the planet, but also of the transference of human-type connection to an element of nature.  You can mostly only experience connection with nature by transferring those feelings to a more human perspective, and when loss of an element of nature, such as a pet or tree, occurs, there is transference to the human state of grief.

 

We have mentioned the energetic connections between you and your pets and we wish to elaborate.  Again, not only is there a very real symbolic connection here (discovery of Self, of Love, of perspective: these things were gained through and with your interaction), but also there HAVE in most cases indeed been some past-life associations.  Though most animals live lives in mainly hive-type soul arrangements, there is a constancy of energy that can flow generation after generation through one individual animal to another, and even of course crossing boundaries of species.  There has been for many of you, then, a common thread through many lifetimes of connection with various elements of nature, and it is this thread, now running through you and the pets you love, that has touched this present lifetime.

 

The lessons from connection to Nature are many and varied and often depend on the individual, but regardless of perspective there is ALWAYS growth opportunity through human connection with Nature.  After all, it is your home.  It is your LIFE.  To deny Nature is denying an aspect of Self, and to fully EMBRACE Nature, to ACCEPT it in all its splendor, ugliness, and beauty, is a HUGE step in actually accepting your Self.
