Angels 101

We have all heard about angels and been fascinated by them, more so during our childhoods. We have heard of stories about angels doing innumerable good things, of appearing from nowhere and helping people in distress and so on and so forth. The word angel is actually derived from a Greek word “aggelos,” which literally means “a messenger.” There is a similar Hebrew word called “malak,” which also has the same meaning.

The Bible describes a whole range of spirits, whom god has created, which includes both good and evil angels. There are chapters devoted to even special categories such as Cherubim, Seraphim, and the Archangel in the Bible. The word angel is mentioned at least 101 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament. There is no dearth of script when it comes to angels.

Angels are supposed to have been created by god for specific purposes. The scriptures tell us that they were created in connection with the creation of the heavens. Going by the scriptures, it appears that all angels were created at one single instance and no new angels were created to add to that number. Angels are supposedly not subject to death or any form of extinction. Therefore, their number always remains constant and does not decrease. The scriptures also tell us that when the angels appear, they appear as human beings, even though they are not made of flesh and blood like us. Most of them are supposed to appear like males, although in some cases, they also assume the female form. They could also appear in unusual forms, instances of which can be found in the Bible.

One can get extensive information on angels from the Holy Bible. You can also visit specific online resources, which are devoted to angels. One can also go through scores of other literature which can give you great insights into the working of angels. In fact the market is flooded with books regarding angels. Books like “Angels 101? have been global best sellers.

Angels provides detailed information on Angels, Guardian Angels, Fallen Angels, Gentle Angels and more. Angels is affiliated with Italian Bracelet Charms.

Angels Amoung US - We Reap What We Sow!

John Eldredge writes in his book Waking the Dead, “God what do you have for my heart today?” He continues by saying, “you may be stunned by what he guides you into.I began the day at six in the morning asking God, “What do you have for my heart today Lord.” I had a few minutes to spare this morning (very unusual) so I had a cup of coffee at Starbucks. During that time a brainstorm came to me and I wrote feverously for thirty minutes, jumped in the car and decided to take a tour of the new Wal-Mart food store in Louisville, as I headed back to work.When I arrived at the store it was not raining, as I began to leave it was pouring. I didn’t buy anything so I went out the entrance.At the same time I realized it was raining, an elderly woman coming into the store asked me to help with fix her umbrella, it was stuck open. I’m thinking, not now lady my top’s down in my car and there are fish swimming in it, but calmly with a smile I help her.

Then she wanted me to fold it for her. I thought to myself that you’ve got to be kidding me. She proceeded to thank me (as I swiftly moved away) and she said, “by the way there is a convertible in the parking lot with the top down. As I ran out I yelled, “that’s mine thank you.”

Now, how many seventy-year old woman notice or even care about a comfortable sports car in the midst of fifty cars in a lot? I get in, sit in a puddle of water, close the top and start to drive off. As I do so, I look over and see a plastic hair protector (I don’t know what the real name of them are. Elderly people wear them to cover there hair up from rain) covering my books and what I wrote at the coffee shop.

It was then I realized what God had just allowed to happen. The same women I just helped had taken off her headwear and put it over my books protecting them from the rain. “What do you want from my heart today Lord, was just answered.”

I didn’t know this lady, nor did she know me or my car. That wasn’t the message. The message was we reap what we sow. Whatever you want for your heart, you must sow. Isn’t that just like God to answer our prayers by teaching us something?Whatever your heart needs or desires give it away. Give it away until your heart becomes a reservoir of life. Is your heart a canal or is it a reservoir? Is it overflowing or just passing by? Try giving something precious of yours away this week. Maybe it’s time, maybe it’s money, maybe it’s processions. “What do you want for my heart Lord?” It may be then we realize there are Angels among us all the time.

Angels, Ghosts, Deities and Their Magnetic Plasma Bodies

The appearance and characteristics of the bodies of angels, ghosts and deities show marked similarities and suggest that they are composed of the same substance - magnetic plasma. Magnetic plasma, besides generating electromagnetic fields, is a good conductor of electricity and radiator of electromagnetic waves.

1. Emission of Light and Colorful Auras

Unlike our physical bodies which are visible because of reflected light; angels, ghosts and deities emit light as a result of interactions between particles in their bodies and high energy particles in the environment — similar to what happens in auroras and inside fluorescent lamps. This is why angels, ghosts and deities glow brightly in the dark.

The aura that is radiated by these higher energy entities is generated in the same way that an aurora is generated. In the case of an aurora, electrons passing through space are captured by the Earth’s magnetic field and follow spiral or helical tracks about the magnetic lines of force and in the process collide with gases in the neutral atmosphere generating the aurora. Similarly, charged particles (popularly referred to as particles of ‘qi’, ‘prana’ or ‘kundalini’ in the metaphysical literature) are captured by the electromagnetic fields of the bodies of angels, ghosts and deities; which then flow down (or up) twisted magnetic (helical or spiral) lines of force into their higher energy bodies generating colorful auras as they react with the particles in the environment and in the subtle bodies. Furthermore, their bodies are also ‘thermochromic.’ A thermochromic body produces color changes in response to the heat generated by electrical currents within the higher energy subtle bodies.

2. Features Associated with Magnetic Plasma

Angels, ghosts and deities also have features associated with the Sun. This is not surprising as the Sun is a big ball of magnetic plasma. Coronal auras and discharges, granulation and spicules are all features associated with the Sun and magnetic plasma bodies. The coronal aura is even more pronounced for angels and in apparitions of saints or deities. Coronal discharges and flares can occur suddenly on the Sun. The various particles that are discharged, together with these flares, are carried by the Sun’s plasma wind to cause magnetic storms on Earth. Similarly, the coronal auras of saints and deities blast-out particles that may have a harmful or positive effect on the observer’s body. Spicules are short-lived phenomena, corresponding to rising jets of gas that move upward and last only a few minutes on the Sun. Spicules can also be seen in the coronas of angels, ghosts and deities.

3. Balls of Light

The natural stable shape of magnetic plasma bodies is ovoid. The membrane of this ovoid may be transparent. Within the ovoid, composed of low density magnetic plasma, a holographic thought-form may be generated. On May 13, 1917 a sudden strong wind on a calm day startled three peasant children out of a game they were playing and they saw across the valley a dazzling globe of light, like a miniature Sun, gliding slowly towards them. As it approached, the ball of light gradually resolved itself into a brilliantly shining young man. According to the children they saw “a light whiter than snow in the shape of a transparent young man, who was more brilliant than a crystal struck by the rays of the Sun.”

When internal frequencies change, magnetic plasma can become translucent or transparent (this is a natural property of magnetic plasma). In other words, the opacity of the bodies of angels, ghosts and deities can be manipulated electromagnetically – allowing the bodies to apparently appear, disappear or fade away. Ghosts, angels and religious figures have frequently been reported to be transparent or translucent and casting faint shadows. This betrays the fact that their bodies are composed of magnetic plasma.

Ghosts also have been reported to be in the form of vortices (like a moving cyclone) or vapor. All these forms are compatible with descriptions of magnetic plasma and its dynamics.

4. Passing through Objects

Being composed of low density plasma, ghosts can pass through you, walls and other ghosts. They are composed of ‘collisionless plasma’ - just like Earth’s plasmasphere. This is also a characteristic of collisionless dark matter. Ron Cowen says, “Evidence indicates that when speeding fragments of dark matter meet, they don’t collide as other matter do but pass right through each other, ghostlike.” According to plasma metaphysics a lot of dark matter is in the form of a plasma of super (i.e. supersymmetric) particles and objects. You are unlikely to ‘collide’ with ghosts but electromagnetic effects can be felt if their bodies glide near or through your own magnetic plasma body. There could be changes in frequencies (which correspond to changes in energy levels) and distributions of charges over your own subtle magnetic plasma body.

5. Electromagnetic Nature and Radiation of Long-Range “Radio” Waves

In encounters with ghosts, lights may go on and off without any mechanical change in the position of the light switch. Similarly, messages may appear on a computer screen without any movement of keys on the computer keyboard. Some have even claimed that broadcasts of various beings residing in parallel planes have been transmitted and received by television. This is not inconceivable — considering that ghosts have magnetic plasma bodies which are good radiators of electromagnetic waves, analogous to long range radio waves. When these waves are modulated by the thoughts of the owner, telepathy can take place. The radio waves become part of the remotely-sensed electromagnetic spectrum of these bodies - just like visual, infrared, or ultraviolet emissions. This allows these entities to communicate their mental and emotional states to human beings through our higher energy (magnetic plasma) bodies.

6. Appearing and Disappearing

The bodies of these entities are generally not composed of standard particles (i.e. particles that are currently known to Science and included within the physicists’ ‘Standard Model’.) They are composed of much higher energy super (or supersymmetric) particles and objects. These higher energy particles cannot be observed by scientists currently - using particle accelerators which can only probe lower energy particles. Human beings or animals that use the sensory systems of their higher energy bodies can see these plasma-based life-forms.

Alternatively, higher energy entities can ’step-down’ the frequencies of the waves they radiate intermittently; intentionally or unintentionally; thereby becoming momentarily visible to those who are sensing them through their physical-biomolecular bodies. In these cases, these ordinarily invisible entities composed of dark matter become temporarily visible to most of us. The frequency of electromagnetic waves is related to its energy. As the energy of the body (particularly bodies in the lowest energy plane – which is usually referred to as the ‘physical-etheric’ plane by metaphysicists) drops, the body becomes visible momentarily in our low energy world.

7. Changing Appearances

The psychological states of angels, ghosts and deities can modify their appearances in an instant. A being which is depressed would appear differently from one who is happy. From a dark evil-looking appearance, an entity can be transformed to a bright and beautiful angel in minutes when the internal psychological state changes. Changes in psychological states can change the brightness, clarity, shape and colors of the thermochromic bodies of angels, ghosts and deities by effecting changes in the electromagnetic field of the body. The holographic thought-form generated within the ovoid also changes if another persistent thought-form replaces the current one. Since your own magnetic plasma body radiates electromagnetic waves, an entity can also change its appearance in accordance with your expectations by tuning into these frequencies.

Conclusion

There is much evidence that ghosts, angels and deities are composed of magnetic plasma. Once this is accepted more widely, a more rigorous scientific framework can be formulated for the study of these entities. This framework will significantly increase our understanding of angels, ghosts and deities and may even allow us to communicate with lower frequency entities in the near-future.

Plasma metaphysics is the application of plasma and dark matter physics to the study of our high energy subtle bodies and their corresponding environments. These bodies include the ‘bioplasma’ bodies and ‘astral’ bodies found in the metaphysical literature. Plasma metaphysics provides an internally consistent framework for the study of these bodies against the backdrop of modern physics. The books are available at Amazon.com.

Mind Body Soul Spirit Information That Will Challenge the Way You View Life!

Regardless of personal viewpoint about spirituality, many have wondered what would have happened if Saddam Hussein hadn’t been stopped when he first invaded Kuwait back in the early nineties? Well, this story explores that scenario to its surprising conclusion and then reinvents the scene time and again in a sequence similar to ‘Groundhog Day’ but in a mind, body, spirit theme. The result is a story that has lead many readers to question their concept of so-called reality!

I initially believed I was writing a fictional story about angel ET benefactors influencing our world. But when I completed the first book, The Blue Star Millennium, many readers were convinced that the depicted world events had actually happened, even though recorded history shows a different outcome. That’s when the concept of an alternative reality suddenly gelled into the possibility that world events could change depending on the will of the masses.

As far as I was concerned, I was simply writing an inspirational mind, body, spirit story about angel extraterrestrial intervention, but I didn’t know where the story was going until it unfolded before me… and I have to admit, I was surprised at some of the content.

The story largely centered on the Gulf War and the changing of events under the influence of a benevolent, angelic race of Beings in the form of extraterrestrial benefactors. The central character in these books is an angel who integrates with human society under the watchful influence of his mentor, the White Star.

Many who have read these esoteric books have queried whether the White Star is real … and if so, did he help change world events in keeping with the will of the masses - the ones currently inhabiting our world … You and me? From that angle, did he also influence my writing in a more spiritual slant?

To be honest, I don’t know!

If he did, I am grateful that he shared this metaphysical knowledge, but a little confused why he would choose me. I’m just an ordinary guy who grew up on the rougher side of town with few privileges, and new age spirituality was not part of my upbringing. I have had my share of knocks that life tends to deal out to all those who walk this earth. However, I have also had my share of unusual (for want of a better term) experiences … but we are getting off the track here.

If we take this concept of ET extraterrestrial angels to its logical conclusion, are we not all such Beings? After-all, we are simply visiting this planet for a short while to experience our individual lessons and then we depart – so how can we say that we are of this planet? We simply inhabit a body here temporarily so that we can function in this world.

So, whether these metaphysics philosophy books are influenced by extraterrestrial angels, or resulted from my own tapping into the higher consciousness that is the source of us all … what is the difference? The result is equally fascinating and the concepts that these self improvement stories present will challenge your view of life as you know it.

Book Review - The Secret Spiritual World of Children

One of my favorite childhood dreams, a recurrent one that I had when I was around seven or eight, is that I am conducting a symphony orchestra. That would be a special experience in itself. What makes this dream more interesting is that I am making up the music, note by note, as we go. Almost like the wand that Mickey Mouse borrows from the Sorcerer, as I wave my baton, the music comes into being. In the dream, that is a thrilling experience.

What is even more interesting is that in the dream I am noticing that the orchestra seems to know what notes to play even though there are no notes until I wave them into being at that very moment. In the dream I am puzzling over how the orchestra can play the notes at the very instant that I create them.

Years later I can see in this dream many of the themes I’ve meditated upon in trying to come to a better understanding of a spiritual path that is natural to me, one that involves allowing improvisation to connect with a transpersonal source of creativity. While my adult self can both appreciate and understand the dream, my childhood self experienced the wonder and awe of the dream, but did not have any understanding of its meaning or source. Not all children, however, display the same lack of understanding of such experiences, according to Tobin Hart in his book The Secret Spiritual World of Children (Inner Ocean Publishing). He shares many stories of children seeming wise beyond their years, children who experience cosmic consciousness and understand its significance and use the experience to guide them throughout their lives.

The idea that children are close to God certainly comes through loud and clear in Hart’s stories. The children in his book have mystical experiences, visits by angels and other beings, they spontaneously offer healing words or touch to other children and adults, and they have psychic experiences of many varieties. An account of these experiences comprises only the first half of the book. He devotes the second half of his book to providing guidance to parents. There he skillfully weaves together insights for both parent and child as they attempt to respond to such experiences.

Spirituality is a mixed blessing, for while it may open the child to the secrets of the universe, such knowledge can also be a burden on the child. Adults face similar challenges and the parents may find their own spiritual issues mirrored in the struggles of the child. A vision of one’s mission in life may also create pressure to succeed. Being given extraordinary insights, visits from angels, and other non-ordinary encounters may make the child feel “special” and disinclined to make the mortal efforts in life required of the rest of us. Awareness of invisible worlds that no one else can see can make a person, child or adult, feel alienated from others. Balancing heaven and earth is difficult, regardless of a person’s age.

Psychic experiences offer their own special challenges and they are quite similar for both children and adults. Precognitive experiences, for example, especially about unfortunate events, can make the experiencer feel somehow guilty, as if knowledge of an event creates responsibility for it. Telepathic sensitivity can confuse a person’s sense of self, requiring effort to discern one’s own feelings from those of others. Balancing individuality with inter-connectedness is a lifelong riddle that requires the development of a stable ego, content enough to remain calmly in the background. The child’s experience becomes a teacher for the parents as they endeavor to respond appropriately to the child.

Tobin’s advice to parents seems to revolve around two Tkey principles. The first is that the parent should endeavor to respond matter-of-factly to the child’s reports. While it might seem inconceivable to us that we might deny the child’s reality, making too big a deal of it can be equally harmful. The second, and more challenging, principle is for parents to cultivate a good relationship with their own spirituality and not vicariously live through their children. Although he allows for the probability that our species is evolving, he expresses some reserve about such concepts as Indigo children.” He argues, alternatively, that children have always had a secret spiritual life. It is the parents, he suggests, who are now highly interested in spirituality and have become aware of its existence in their children.

The children may seem “special” in the parents’ eyes, but this perception may be a compensating projection of the parents’ own sad alienation from their own spiritual inner child. The child’s spirituality often needs some help with incarnating into the workaday world. Parents who can embrace this need and provide a family atmosphere in which all parties are collaborating to bring heaven into earth seems create the best classroom for the lessons spiritual experiences bring to the home.

Calling All Angels - Talking to Angels

I am a big believer in the strength of a personal prayer. However, some of you have asked for a formal guide about how to call to the Archangels. (See the archives – Your Guide To the Archangels for more information!) This guide below is for those of you who prefer to follow a structured format. This Universal Prayer To The Angels can be used to address any of the seven archangels. It is based loosely on Elizabeth Claire Prophet’s prayer structure, that I have personally found to be extremely effective.

It is ok to follow the structure below and write your prayer down and read it. It is also good to read your prayer out loud if you choose to use this more formal method.

First of all clear your mind. Try to be relaxed as possible.

Light a candle that is appropriate. This is optional and I have included more about using candles as a prayer aid in the next section.

First you call all the angels…

In the name of (insert one of the following – the one that feels best to you)

The God (or Goddess) That is Within Me
The Divine Imagination
My Higher Power
The Great Being of Light
The I Am That I Am

I call to all the seven archangels and their legions of light. I ask that all Seven Rays bless me with their divine guidance.

Then you call the specific angel:

I call on the Archangel ______ (choose the appropriate Archangel) and his legions of light.

For the purposes of this exercise we are going to use the Archangel Michael.

I ask for your ____ (fill in blank).

In Michael’s case you would say, “I ask for your protection.”

Then you make general requests that address the overall nature of the issues that replace all negatives with positive. For example, using the Archangel Michael:

I ask the angels for protection against losing my car and my job. I ask the angels to be free of anxiety and filled with emotional security. I ask that you replace my lack of confidence with the ability to stand up for myself. I ask that all doubts about the future be replaced with faith that no matter what happens, all will be well.

At this point in the prayer you may also visualize the chakra that is associated with the Angel. Michael is related to the fourth chakra of self-expression so you may want to visualize this area as a glowing brilliant blue. If this is too much for you to handle at first, just concentrate on getting the words right.

Then you make a specific request:

I ask the angels to ____ (fill in the blank.) This is where you describe specific situations that you would like fixed. For example: I ask the angels to please resolve the problem at work and protect me from job loss. I ask the angels to please help me find the money to fix the brakes on my car so I don’t have an accident.

Then explain to the angels why YOU think the fulfillment of your request would be good for all.

I ask that this be done ___ (explain why). Example: I ask that his be done because it would be bad news for everyone if I lost my job right now. I ask that my brakes be fixed as I can’t get to work without the car and I do need to go to work!

Then you ask for more general qualities associated with the angel. Name anything that comes to mind that is associated with this angel and things WILL come to mind. Wish for improvements in the entire world.

I ask that ___.

Example for Michael:

I ask that all people in the world be kept safe from spiritual and physical danger. I ask that all be in receipt of divine protection. I ask that all be protected from violence, war, and all aggression. I ask that there be no more war.

Then you ask that all people in the same need that you are on the planet be granted the same wish.

I ask that my prayer be multiplied and sent out to help all of those who are in need of ___ (insert general quality here, in Michael’s case it would be protection) on the planet.

Example

I ask that my prayer be multiplied and sent out to help all of those who are in need of protection on the planet.

Then express gratitude.

I thank you for all of ________(insert appropriate qualities) you have shown me so far in my life. I am truly grateful for _______. (Name some examples where you feel you have been protected before.)

Example for Michael

I thank you for all of the protection that you have shown me so far in life. I am truly grateful for not being laid off last month when the company was in financial trouble and being protected from the gossip of the lady next door.

Then you ask that the request be fulfilled quickly:

I ask that this be done, helping all and harming none. I ask that my request be filled in this hour in full power according to the will of _____. (Insert appropriate name here – God, The I AM THAT I AM, The Divine Imagination, The Great Being of Light.)

Then say Amen, or Thank You.

You may also follow this prayer with a psalm or a favorite inspirational poem. Read it three to fifteen times.

The candle burning colors for each of the Archangels at a glance are:

Michael – blue or white (protection)
Gabriel – white, yellow or gold (guidance)
Chamuel – pink or red (love)
Uriel – gold, silver, purple or red (peace)
Raphael – green (healing)
Jophiel – yellow or gold (illumination)
Zadkiel – purple or violet (joy)

Are You Ready To Dream Big In Life? by Charlie Reese

Dreams have always intrigued people from all over the world. Some people think that a good dream is something that should be looked upon as a message. Many people from around the world are intrigued by their dreams and they often will tell you that their dreams have to mean something. People are often compelled by the meaning behind dreams. Sigmund Freud even wrote a book about dreams and what they can possibly mean. Biblical characters such as Joseph (step-father of Jesus Christ) stated that an angel visited him in a dream and told him that his fiance Mary was to bear a son and he shall be called the prince of peace and Lord of Lords. He believed that this dream had great significance to his life. A lot of people around the world want to see a dream as a warning sign or an eye opener. People have often followed their dreams and became something great because of it.William Shakespeare had a dream of becoming a writer. It is said that he used to dream about this and really believe that he was going to become a published author and it happened. People all over the world want to do something with their life and our dreams can often help to guide and to lead us on a proper path. Some people find their dreams to be to unrealistic. A common dream is a person falling off of a cliff. This dream has been shared by millions of people around the world.

The dream does not mean that you will literally fall off of a hill. It simply means that there is great potential there for you to fall into a mess of some sort. Your dreams have great meaning; however it may have hidden meanings behind them. The best thing to do is to ask God what your dream means and he will stand right beside you and teach you what the meaning of your dream is. The more that you understand a dreams meaning, the more you will be able to see and hear that your dream makes total sense. You can read dream interpretation books as well. These will help you to define your dream. You can also speak to a live psychic such as Stephen Piperno. He is the author of, Is Life Worth It? Sex, Money and Power from a Psychics Point of View. Many psychics like him and others can help you to find meaning behind your dreams and what they can offer someone else. A true dream is something that can have significant meaning to you alone.
