“The Soul at its highest is found like God, but an angel gives a
closer idea of him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God”
~Meister Eckhart, Sermons
Dear Reader,
The holiday season is in full swing, and I hope that this note finds you experiencing not only the busy that accompanies this time of year, but the warmth and joy of heart-connections that fill this season.
There are many thoughts and sentiments surrounding “Heavenly Hosts” during the holidays. As I have a particularly strong connection with Angels because of my work and some of my own life experiences, I wanted to share some thoughts with you, honoring the Angels and the realms they work within.
There is a power in the number three. Three is everywhere and angels are no exception. In my studies on Angels I learned about the three Hierarchies of Heaven, or the realms in which the Angels work. In each of these three realms, there are three kinds of Angels that exist therein.
The Heaven of Form
The first level of Heaven relates to our everyday life, our physical day-to-day things. The three types of Angels are:
-Archangels: Attend to the whole of mankind.
-Guardian Angels: These watch over individuals and can be called on for guidance when we’re feeling stuck or blocked. They love us unconditionally and, if we open ourselves to their Divine presence, they are there for us.
-The Angel Princes: They are the protectors of races and nations and rule the Four Directions. The Angel Princes focus on the psychological aspects of our three dimensional world and give us insight about various situations we encounter.
The Heaven of Creation
The second level of Heaven, a more refined energy than the Heaven of Form, can shed light on our personal relationships. The three types of Angels in this realm can guide us to more joyful and functional relationships.
-The Powers: Charged with guarding our souls, these Angels bring us peace, harmony and serenity.
-The Virtues: Trust and faith are essential for our growth in the manifestation process on the earth plane, and these Angels can aid us in the process of manifestation by teaching to trust in positive outcomes.
-The Dominions: Through the power of forgiveness, they help us release the negativity in our lives and make it possible to be more fully present for ourselves and others through the gifts of Mercy, Wisdom, and Forgiveness, thus allowing us to live from Grace.
The Heaven of Paradise
The third level of Heaven, and closest to the Divine, is where we release our ego and tap into the unconditional love of Bliss. When we allow our hearts to be open, we are one with the Divine Wisdom, merging God’s will and our own. This is the realm of MIRACLES and creation is effortless here. The Angels of the Heaven of Paradise open our hearts to the Joy of God’s love for us.
-The Seraphim: These Angels are associated with creation and Miracles. They transmit God’s energy from which life is formed. Offering unconditional love, they support our spiritual growth and offer ways of fine tuning our vibration so we can access the highest levels of self-awareness. The Seraphim can bring us teachers, physical and non-physical. These Angels remind us of the miracles of Love, its eternal nature and it’s restoring power in times of loss.
-The Cherubim: Guarding the entrance to Paradise and filling the Universe with God’s wisdom, these Angels help us experience awareness of the Unity of all life. They are the gateway to the mysteries of life and transmute knowledge into wisdom. The Cherubim are the purity of spirit embodied in young children who KNOW they are safe and loved, and they can help us remember this truth.
-The Thrones, or the Ophanim: These Angels are the closest for to the Divine Source. They exist beyond form and transform thought into matter, taking the vibration of God’s love into material form. Their existence is in the Now, in the present moment, and as we go beyond the form and structure of our ego, we begin to be co-creators with Source. This is the level of Heaven that poets and mystics such as Rumi speak of. As we surrender our egos and live with trust in the present moment, we free ourselves from disempowering thoughts that stop our spiritual growth. With the loving support of these Angels, we can live as we were meant to live, knowing that we are truly loved and cherished.
The focus of the Christmas season is also the focus of the Heaven of Paradise. This is a season of pure joy, bliss, and connecting with others. Focusing on this level of Heaven recharges us and this is why this time of year is so beloved to so many people. One of my clients wondered aloud that it’s too bad we can’t live from the Heaven of Paradise all year. My response to her was that there are other aspects of life and thus, the three levels of heaven. We must operate from all three to function in this world. We have relationships and mundane day-to-day things that pull our focus from this Heaven of Paradise. We flow through the different realms as we flow through life. How lucky are we to be able to focus so clearly on the joy of the Heaven of Paradise in this Christmas season!
My personal wish for each and every one of you is that during this time of giving and receiving that you also take a moment to open your hearts to the gift of giving and receiving from any one of the Heavenly realms or Angels. Taking the time to send someone or all of mankind the light and love from these heavenly messengers is the most beautiful of all gifts.
I look forward to sharing the coming year with you. Wishing you all the blessings of the Angels.
With Love,
Devan Tindall
