So what exactly are angels?
The word Angel is thought to derive from the Greek word angeloi meaning "messenger" and the Sanskrit word angiras meaning "divine spirit" and "courier".
Angels emanate from a different stream of consciousness to that of humans, from the dimension of original divine source.
Having the ability to open channels of divine communication, they are messengers of god/of all that is/of the absolute source and universal law . . . whatever resonates with your beliefs, whether such beliefs are of an organized religious nature or not.
Angels are messengers, guides and teachers and have many other tasks and missions. They have no physical bodies as they are beings of light and energy who occupy the non physical dimensions that co-exist alongside ours.
Belief in angels has formed part of humanity’s spiritual quest down through the ages, and references to angels can be found in every religion, every culture. As such, it is not necessary to alter your beliefs in any way in order to communicate with the Angelic Kingdom of Light.
Interest in angels grows daily and their loving, supportive presence is unmistakable to sensitive adults and children, and to those seeking inner peace through spiritual development.
If you have been drawn to angels because you are looking for deeper meaning to offset the shallowness of modern living, or if you’ve had trauma of one kind or another to deal with, it may comfort you to know that you are certainly not alone.
In these early years of the 21st century, levels of consciousness have risen considerably, triggering ever greater tests for humankind in general - and lightworkers in particular. On an increasingly frequent basis, we face unprecedented challenges on personal, relationship, family, organizational, national and international levels.
As such we tend to recognize their presence via sensations or a subtle knowing. On the occasions when we are able to glimpse them more physically, we see them as incredibly bright beings – often manifesting in rapid movements of surreal shimmering light, flashes or patterns of brilliant color.
Therefore, when we see angels in the most physical manifestation of which they are capable, they tend to take on whatever appearance best fits in with our ability to perceive them. Often this will be in human form - with wings - because that is how our memory has recorded them based on how they have been portrayed since time immemorial in art, literature and religious texts.
While they may appear to us as male or female (and may indicate a male or female name) this is just to help us with our connection to them, since angels are androgynous. They are beyond the need for sexuality because their masculine and feminine energies are perfectly balanced. Also since they do not see themselves as separate from each other and all that is, they are not known to each other by individual names.
Bitter conflict, appalling injustice, disregard for decent behavior, corporate greed, toxic food and all the other very low energy manifestations of confusion and discontent, cause deep distress. For some, the struggle to manage day by day and to avoid being sucked down into fear and despair can be exhausting. Everywhere there are examples of people masking their insecurities by acquiring more and more possessions; by seeking to dominate others - with wide reaching harmful consequences.
We seem to have forgotten that there is an immense, expansive, cosmic pool of unconditional love; also that help is there for the asking.
Angels can help us re-connect to and be totally part of the cosmic pool of love - for the good of all of creation. Angels are constantly working to promote peace and harmony and they can help in so very many ways - big and small - but only if asked!
So ask angels for their help; work with them in connection with your own individual concerns, and also take time to enlist their support in helping to enlighten humankind to achieve lasting peace and harmony through unconditional love and understanding.
Taken from Wikipedia: A seraph (/ˈsɛr.əf/; pl. seraphs or seraphim /ˈsɛr.ə.fɪm/; Hebrew: שְׂרָפִים śərāfîm, singular שָׂרָף śārāf; Latin: seraphi[m], singular seraph[us]; Greek: σεραφείμ) is a type of celestial or heavenly being in Judaism and Christianity.
Literally "burning ones", the word seraph is normally a synonym for serpents when used in the Hebrew Bible. A seminal passage in the Book of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1-8) used the term to describe fiery six-winged beings that fly around the Throne of God crying "holy, holy, holy". This throne scene, with its triple invocation of holiness (a formula that came to be known as the Trisagion), profoundly influenced subsequent theology, literature and art. Its influence is frequently seen in works depicting angels, heaven and apotheosis. Seraphs are mentioned as celestial beings in an influential Hellenistic work, the Book of Enoch, and the Book of Revelation. Tradition places seraphs in the fifth rank of ten in the Jewish angelic hierarchy and the highest rank in the Christian angelic hierarchy.
