ANGELS

The Angels are an integral part of Manifest Creation, albeit hidden from us, we depend on The Devic Kingdom for the existence and maintenance of our environment.

The Angel motif is inherent in all myths in one way or another. Christianity in particular has numerous references both biblical and historical. The name derives from a root meaning "messenger", but esoteric information covers much more than that. In the ancient texts of the Wisdom Tradition, they are called "Devas", and there are described hierarchies of different orders in Hebrew together with details of their opposing numbers which have been copied from other sources like Babylon and other cities conquered or traded with. Four Principle Orders are commonly under the guise of the Four Archangels Michael(south), Gabriel(west), Uriel(north) and Raphael(east). Each of these is associated with a direction of the compass and one of the four elements respectively Fire,Water,Earth,and Air. But our particular interest is more concerned with the role of the Devic Kingdom in the function and control of the Metaphysical Universe, and which of course includes the physical material universe. Coincident with monadic diaspora of life, as we can perceive it, there was also that of the devas, and so there are the two types of monads, the same by definition but issued on a different ray, closely related yet effectively separated from communication. There are certain rituals by which contact can be made with the lower orders comprising the elemental kingdom but anything higher requires high iniatory status, although they can be "invoked"by group ritual with the purity of intent.The evolution of men and angels run parallel, human evolution is along the path of karmic experience which is harder yet shorter than the devic. The existence of the devic kingdom and knowledge of its nature and function are fundamental to the appreciation of the metaphysical world . It is in negative polarity to the human kingdom, but in the very remote future there is to be a union between the two at the closing of the 7th. round. The devas are the custodians of "prana", mankind is the custodian of "manas", and as regards prana the "devas are the energy of prana themselves"(quote), which they "embody" in some way being basically of two types, those with a form and those without. In their role of controlling the weather of this globe they use the thoughts and emotions emenating from humans, the quality of which determines in turn the quality of the weather patterns all over the world. Because of centuries of wrong thought and emotion, their corresponding inaccuracies have resulted in floods droughts and storms.

Some books have been written based on information from individual devas through mediums. One of them is over 2000 thousand pages long, and in spite of the literary style and eloquence I reject as a complete fabrication by entities posessing a remarkable imagination but which is subversive in intent. Any attempt to contact the devas presents this sort of hazard, and may result in misinformation from astral intelligences representing themselves as "devic". In the past communication was more common and more safely invoked, but because of a resurgence of ritual magical practice of a disreputable nature this avenue was virtually closed down, somewhere around the 14th. century. "Channeling "communication remains possible but is seldom reliable. One of such deemed to be of adequate spiritual content and plausability is listed below*(2).

"As Above , So Below"is an ancient universal maxim attributed to Hermes Trimegistus, and which incidentally forms one of the tenets of metaphysical philosophy. According to this, there are demonic hierarchies reflecting in a negative fashion the devic, and are responsible for resisting all our attempts to evolve in their prerogative as" agencies of chaos". In response to the energy which has been given to the earth in recent years these entities are very busy indeed. However, their powers are limited and so they make full use of their ability to inspire vulnerable persons with evil intent, and if they manage to get at a particular charasmatic personality with a gift of oratory, will fill his mind with all sorts of nonsense calculated to sway the emotions and aspirations of thousands, who will then to devote their money and even their lives to the "mission", whatever it is. We have seen extreme examples of this resulting in mass suicides. Hitler was a prime example of this type of influence also.What is not generally realised, and will surprise you, is that the modern version of a certain type of "music" is likewise similarly inspired; the loudness, particular rythms and strobic lights, subversive and sometimes foul language stifles the function of those centres in the etheric body which should be allowing the increased input of spiritual energy to be received. This contributes to the hopelessness and confusion of many people, especially the younger generation and is manifesting in drug taking, crime and suicide .

Here are a few *(1)aphorisms relating to devas and men:

Man is innately love, force which produces coherency; devas are innately intelligence producing activity.
