Meeting Guardian Angels

We exist in a living universe. There is life and energy and order to everything around us—whether it is visible or not.

As humans, we often have a tendency to walk around with blinders on. We train ourselves to recognize only that which is visible, that which is rational. Maybe it’s because we have such difficulty with physical life that we don’t want to be bothered by the possibility of an invisible life. Whatever the reason, we do limit our perceptions. Unfortunately, that also limits the possibilities within our rational world.

There is a line of life evolving side-by-side with human development. They have bodies of lighter substance that are often invisible to our heavier sensibilities, but they embody the creative intellect and the transmuting energy of the universe. They are the Angelic Hierarchy, and much of the good we know in this world is the result of their work—whether it be the beauty of nature, creative inspiration, or the wonders we refer to as “miracles.”

We do not have to be aware of their presence to receive their benefits, just as we do not have to be constantly aware of the air we breathe. Yet, they are as nourishing to us and as essential to our lives as that air.

Most people consider angels the stuff of fiction, especially in this age of intellect and science, but they have been active in history in every age and every race. We can’t prove to everyone’s satisfaction the reality of their existence, but with increased awareness we can each begin to experience them in our own ways. One of the most profound joys in life is feeling the comforting breath of their wings upon our shoulders. It inspires joy, love, and wonder at the magnificence of the universe.

When we were children we glowed when called an “angel.” Intuitively we knew that it was something special. On some level we probably knew it signified being enlightened. An angel is a being capable of disseminating the divine light into all religions and all lives that are less evolved.

Angels appear in all literature and in all religions. They have been written about in story and song, and they can be found in half the books of the Christian Bible. In the Book of Psalms we read, “He hath given his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways” (Psalm 91).

There are myriads of entities in this hierarchy. They are called messengers, sons and daughters of the Divine, spirits, holy ones, devas, shining ones, nature spirits, seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels, or simply angels. Whether we experience their love through our spirit guides, through nature, through religion, or even directly, it should strengthen and encourage us to know that those above us desire to lift us gently to higher realms. The presence of angels should reassure us that we do not have to do anything alone.

The functions of angels include praising and attending to the Divine, protecting the faithful, and guiding humanity.
