• Explains that angels are beings of light consciousness, here to help our individual and planetary cosmic evolution
•
Explores angels from Judeo-Christian and Islamic faiths, Hinduism and
Buddhism, the beliefs of ancient Egypt, Yezidism, and Zoroastrianism as
well as what Theosophists, Kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and
modern mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels
•
Examines contemporary angelic encounters, including the author’s own
interactions with angels, and also looks at the purpose of dark angels
and fallen angels
From the divine messengers of Western
traditions to the devas of Eastern traditions to the meleks and spirit
beings found along the Silk Road, angels are one of the unifying themes
of theology worldwide. But what is an angel, and why do they contact us,
believers and nonbelievers alike?
In this in-depth study into
the mystery and purpose of angels, Normandi Ellis looks at the angelic
dimensions of spiritual traditions around the world—from the ancient
past to present day. She explores well-known angels from Judeo-Christian
and Islamic faiths, the Hindu devata and Buddhist spirit beings, the
spirit beings of ancient Egypt, the Peacock Angel of Yezidism, and the
yazatas of Zoroastrianism. She compares angelic visions from medieval
Christians like Thomas Aquinas and John of Damascus with what
Theosophists, kabbalists, Sufi masters, Eastern gurus, and modern
mystics like Edgar Cayce have recounted about angels. She looks at dark
and fallen angels and their role in the grand cosmological plan. Quoting
from sacred traditions, narrative myth, and contemporary angelic
encounters, including her own personal interactions with angels, the
author clarifies the divergent aspects of angelic beliefs but also
reveals the common points shared by all traditions.
Ellis shows
how, in whatever guise they appear, angels are messengers. She explains
that angels are beings of light consciousness, part of the universal
life force that connects all beings. And not only are angels actively
helping in our planet’s cosmic evolution, they also help us see our own
place in the cosmic plan.
