Divine spirit, herald, forerunner; messenger sent by God to deliver his [[Word]] to his children. Ministering spirits sent forth to tend the heirs of [[Christ]]—to comfort, protect, guide, strengthen, teach, counsel, and warn. Cohorts of Light in the service of the Christed ones, the sons and daughters of God, throughout [[cosmos]]. An ‘angle’ of God’s consciousness—an aspect of his Self-awareness; a being fashioned by God out of his own flaming Presence to minister unto his Life in form. “And of the angels he saith, ‘Who maketh his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.’”<ref>Heb. 1:7.</ref> | Divine spirit, herald, forerunner; messenger sent by God to deliver his [[Word]] to his children.

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.

== The initiation of angels == | |||
The Lord in his infinite love has provided for the [[initiation]] of angels, that they might rise in the order of hierarchy. Through centuries of allegiance to the Creator and unswerving devotion to his creation, angels may be given the sacred gift of free will and the opportunity to enter the portals of birth. Once they descend into form in this manner, angels begin evolving through the kingdom of the Gods, subject to the same tests, initiations and karmic laws that apply to the sons and daughters of God. When they have met all of these requirements, the angels may pass through the ritual of the [[ascension]] and may then qualify to fill the office of Archangel or Archeia for a system of worlds. | The Lord in his infinite love has provided for the [[initiation]] of angels, that they might rise in the order of hierarchy.
