The angelic hosts comprise an evolution set apart from mankind by their flaming selfhood and their purity of devotion to the Godhead and to the [[Archangel]]s and hierarchs under whose command they serve. Their function is to concentrate, accelerate, and amplify the attributes of God on behalf of his creation. They minister to the needs of mankind by magnetizing Light to their auras, intensifying feelings of hope, faith, and charity, honor, integrity, courage, truth and freedom, mercy and justice, and every aspect of the crystal clarity of the mind of God. | The angelic hosts comprise an evolution set apart from mankind by their flaming selfhood and their purity of devotion to the Godhead and to the [[Archangel]]s and hierarchs under whose command they serve.

Because of the blessedness of their unseen presence, the author of Hebrews said, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares”<ref>Heb. 13:2.</ref>—and in so saying made a point for the case that angels do take embodiment and move among us as our best friends and helpers, even when total strangers. | Because of the blessedness of their unseen presence, the author of Hebrews said, “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares”<ref>Heb. 13:2.</ref>—and in so saying made a point for the case that angels do take embodiment and move among us as our best friends and helpers, even when total strangers. | ||

Angels can assume human form or that of ‘rods’ and ‘cones’ or spirals and coils of concentrated energy that can be released for personal and planetary healing in answer to the call of the Christed ones as a literal transfusion of the Body and Blood of the Cosmic Christ wherever and whenever there is a need. There are angels of healing, protection, love, comfort and compassion, angels attending the cycles of birth and death, angels of the All-Seeing Eye of God who wield the flaming [[sword]] of Truth to cleave asunder the Real from the Unreal. There are types and orders of angels who perform specific services in the cosmic hierarchy, such as [[seraphim]] and [[cherubim]], and angel [[deva]]s who serve with the nature spirits and [[elemental]]s of fire, air, water, and earth. | Angels can assume human form or that of ‘rods’ and ‘cones’ or spirals and coils of concentrated energy that can be released for personal and planetary healing in answer to the call of the Christed ones as a literal transfusion of the Body and Blood of the Cosmic Christ wherever and whenever there is a need.
