Angels

This is something that was post by my friend Myriam when I asked about angels.

Angels: What are they? Can they help us?
Angels are defined in different ways. The word angel actually means messenger. So an angel is a messenger from a spiritual source. Some may visualize them as having wings, some will visualize them as an energy source, and others will have other perceptions. However, angels are spirit guides. Everyone has spirit guides who work with them. They are called by many names: guardian angels, spirit guides, intuition, and inner voices. Those who serve as spirit guides wish to work with spirit to learn in that manner. There must be a willingness to commit to this role, a desire to serve, learn and grow through helping those who are challenged by life issues. In other words our angels choose to help us.

Many times we see movies that talk about an angel earning his or her wings, well spirit guides who appear as angels to us are helping the guide to evolve into one with spirit - earn their wings so to speak - and only have positive intent.

When learning to work with your angels, there would be a period of allowing all to "feel" one another, exchange energies, and knowledge of what is desired to be
accomplished or worked with by each. This would involve the being preparing for a physical experience, the higher self of the individual, and those spirits who would possibly become spiritual guides for the being. This selection process is done through mutual choice.

All must be equally willing, desiring similar growth, and focused upon like results. During the process of sharing, exchanging, and knowing one another, there would be a number who would feel that this would not be what they need at that point in their development. Therefore, mutual selections would be made.

Often free will choices are made which do not follow higher self advice. This may result in a lifetime which due to lack of planning, may lead to many situations which are not desired, and does not meet needs of the being. It is then that our angels appear to help us become less toxic and to live life with greater joy.

Spirit Guides as Angels
Those who are chosen as guides are bound through agreement to remain with you through the entire lifetime. They work in a specific area of the astral realm which was created to aid in communication with the physical being, higher self, and
other guides. There is an energy connection between each guide and the physical being. This is always present between them. It is only necessary to open to the connecting energy line to allow communication. It is never truly closed, but
focus is lessened, to allow for an element of privacy. Through this connection, communication can be established by either the physical being or the guide.

It is important to develop and continually communicate with guides or your angels on a daily basis. Know that this ability will grow and develop in many ways as your levels of confidence and trust in your ability to communicate grows. It is good to realize that each of you have planned the type of guidance you wish to be given in this lifetime, based upon what you desire to learn, focus on and what you felt
was most needed to develop. Some of you have arranged for guides to be very vocal, very strong in communication and impact. Others have planned to focus upon a more visual type of communication and guidance to assure the focus on visual perception and development. Others may ask guides to be an inner quiet thought, a physical sensation or an outer "sign" of confirmation.

Classic Angels
There is a classification and recognition of angels who are direct messengers of God according to some religions. They are known by a higher arch and can be called upon for specific interventions or help. Some of these are known by such names as Michael, Raphael, and so forth. The angels are called upon with specific intent for a special area of intervention and help. These angels can be thought of as icons of specific spiritual energy such as blessings, protection, or assistance.

Earth Angels
Not all messengers or helpers exist on a different dimension. Some people who come into your life to help you in a time of crisis or need for learning can also act as
your angel or spirit guide. Recognize spirit when it comes to you whether from a higher dimension or within the reality in which you live right now.

Remember, all you have to do is ask and an angel or spirit guide will be there to help you in a time of need or growth. When you do ask, don't look for reasons to not believe. Miracles and divine intercession are here to help you anytime and for any reason that your intention is based on the higher good of self and all.
