Erkenglarnir þrír og Tóbías, Francesco Botticini (1470)

Guðleg vera, sendiboði, fyrirrennari; boðberi sendur af Guði til að flytja Orð hans til guðsbarna sinna. Þjónandi andar sem sendir eru til að annast erfingja Krists—til að hugga, vernda, leiðbeina, styrkja, kenna, ráðleggja og vara við. Sveit ljóssins í þjónustu hinna Krists-bornu (Christed Ones), sona og dætra Guðs, um allan algeim. ‘Engill’ Guðs-vitundarinnar—þáttur Sjálfs-vitundar hans; vera mótuð af Guði úr sinni eigin logandi Nærveru til að þjóna lífi hans í efnisforminu. "Og um englana segir hann: Hann sem gjörir engla sína að vindum og þjóna sína að eldslogum."

Englasveit er á þróunarbraut sem er aðskilin þróun mannsins. Það kemur fram í logandi sjálfsveru þeirra og hreinleika hollustu þeirra við guðdóminn og við erkienglana og helgivöldin sem þeir þjóna. Virkni þeirra felst í því að einbeita sér að því að hraða og magna eiginleika Guðs í þágu sköpunar hans. Þeir þjóna þörfum mannkynsins með því að magna ljósið í áru þess, efla vonarneistann, trú og kærleika, heiður, heilindi, hugdirfsku, sannleika og frelsi, miskunn og réttlæti og sérhven þátt hins kristaltæra huga Guðs.

Three Angels Visiting Abraham, Ludovico Carracci (c. 1610–1612)

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”—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.

Metaphorically speaking, angels are electrons revolving around the Sun Presence that is God—electrons who have elected, by his will innate within them, to expand his consciousness in every plane of being. Angels are electrons who have been ‘charged’ with the light/energy/consciousness of the Great Central Sun to be ‘electrodes’, i.e., pillars of God’s fiery presence acting as ‘step-down transformers’ of the ineffable Light, that his children might receive some hope of the glory that is to come midst the dark night of their karmic condition upon 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. 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 devas who serve with the nature spirits and elementals of fire, air, water, and earth.

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.
