DD 01 ARCHANGELS (EP 147)

The Archangels are logoic and Holy Spiritual Beings, who build, govern over and project themselves into the universes. Within Absolute Beingness are Orders of Archangels, Holy Monadic Beings, each Order containing myriad upon myriad of Beings of the same kind. We know of the existence of twelve Archangelic Orders: Thrones, Authorities, Dominions Principalities, Overlords, Seraphims and Cherubims together with others named and unnamed. They possess Total Wisdom, Love, Power and Absolute Self-awareness. Angels are elementals of Archangels.

ARCHANGELS (ET 184)

Archangels are Holy Spiritual Beings assisting in the construction and maintenance of the worlds. They possess Total Wisdom and Absolute Self-awareness --though lacking the self-conscious individuality specific to humans--. We speak in praise of the Archangels of the elements, the Orders of Authorities, of Cherubims, of Dominions, of Overlords, of Principalities, of Seraphims and of the Thrones. In our work we speak of seven Orders of Archangels, each composed of billions and billions of Holy Monadic Beings serving Creation. Angels are elementals of the Archangels.

DD 01 GUARDIAN ARCHANGEL (EP 154)

At the point of our first incarnation, having passed through the Human Idea, each of us is protected and guided by a Guardian Archangel. Throughout our long sojourn in the worlds of separation, our Archangel helps our Permanent Personality plan and experience each incarnation - all our valuable lessons - though never tampering with our free will. Our most faithful companion, this Archangel (with whom we are egofied), is from the Order of the Thrones.

DD 01 NOETIC STATE (EP 158)
The mental world. A state of Ideas and unexpressed forms in
the Eternal Now. From the noetic state the Archangels derive
the forms for creating and sustaining the phenomena of life.
This state is where we may come to rest in between
incarnations.

CAUSES, IDEAS and PRINCIPLES (EP 149)

The Will-pleasure of Absolute Be-ness is the primal Cause. It is the Cause of Creation. From within the Will-pleasure of Absolute Be-ness all subordinate causes spring. Causes then give rise to archetypal Ideas. Archangels work through the Ideas and apply Total Wisdom to each form. Every Idea holds within it the whole Circle of Possibility and Probabilities of the form to be manifested. Principles govern the expression of causes in time, place and space.

ARCHANGELIC MAN (ED 148)

Archangelic Man is the archetype. A Holy Monadic emmanation, on the way to the Idea of Heavenly Man passes through the Idea of Archangelic Man. For this reason human beings are brothers of the Archangels.

DD 10 ARCHANGELS (FH 297)
Eternal holyspiritual entities that serve creation. Major
holyspiritual archangels are, for example, the Michael,
master of the element of light and fire; Gabriel, master of
the element of water; Rafael, master of etheric vitality;
and Ouriel, coordinator of the other three. Archangels
perpetually project angelic elementals --angels-- to serve
creation. There are also logoic archangels, like Yohannan,
who are at higher levels of spiritual hierarchy. Human
beings are also logoic archangels in the process of awaken-
ing into their godly state.

ANGELS (FH 297)

Projections of archangelic entities; the elementals of the archangels constructed for the purpose of serving creation. Unlike archangels, angels are not eternal entities but benign elementals. Human beings can also project such benign angelic elementals.

EP 26 In our struggle to comprehend the Will-pleasure of Absolute
Be-ness we learn that the genesis of Creation takes place
in a Divine Meditation where God contemplates the Divine
Plan that becomes Creation. The Will-pleasure of God is a
gem-like prism through which the Great Light shines giving
us the colours of the Archangelic Orders. According to
the Will-pleasure, Omnipotence, Omniscience and Love of
Absolute Beingness, this Divine Plan unfolds, is unfolding
and will always unfold in the Eternal Now.

EP 27 The Causes, Principles, Laws and Ideas of Creation exist
here (causal state) in the archetypal state cared for by
the highest orders of the Archangels.

EP 29 The Archangels of the Elements
The Archangels are logoic and Holy Spiritual Beings, who
build, govern over and project themselves into the uni-
verses. Within Absolute Beingness are Orders of Archangels,
Holy Monadic Beings, each Order containing myriad upon
myriad of Beings of the same type.

We know of the existence of twelve Archangelic Orders:

Thrones, Authorities, Dominions, Principalities, Overlords, Seraphims and Cherubims, along with others, named and unnamed.

No one has ever spoken in detail of the kind of vibrations of the Archangels who belong to the higher echelons of the Orders. Few have come close enough to these Orders to attune to them. Human language, in any case, proves inadequate to describe their splendour.

When a human being descends into the worlds of separation, an Archangel of the Thrones accompanies him as his Guardian Archangel. Even if we are unaware of his presence, our Guardian Archangel, with whom we are egofied, is always caring for us.

EP 30 The Archangels of the elements concern us in our research
and meditations as they are most intimately involved in our
well-being and advancement. Their names are not of human
origin, but rather the resonance of each Order’s vibration.

First there is the order of the "Michaels" -Ma-Ha-El, "The Great God". In Sanskrit Maha means "great" and El stands for God (as it does also in Ancient Egyptian and Hebrew). Appropriately we find the suffix El in all the Archangelic names. Michael’s light is red, in all its shades, and he is the Archangel of light and fire.

EP 30 Then there is the Archangel "Gabriel", or in the ancient
Egyptian pronounciation, Kha-Vir-El, Ga or Ka denotes
desire, sentiment, and expressed love. Bir or Vir indicates
element. Gabriel’s light is sky-blue in many different
shades, and he is the ruler of water and the liquids, which
constitute three quarters of the planet. Gabriel is the
steward of the entire physical kingdom.

Let us next mention "Raphael" -Ra-Fa-E1. In ancient Egyptian Ra stands for the sun, and Fa, for vibration:

"Sun-vibration-God". Raphael, the Archangel of energy, is characterized by the shades of violet. This colour derives from the mixture of red (Michael) and blue (Gabriel), and thus tallies with the role of Raphael as fellow-worker with the other two. The planet in its entirety is within the Raphael’s domain, who controls the electromagnetic forces - etheric vitality, as we call it.

EP 31 Another Archangel, who coordinates the work of all the Arch-
angels within the gross material body, is "Uriel" -U-Ra-El,
as known to our Egyptian forefathers. U stands for space and
Ra for the sun: "Space-Sun-God". The great harmonizer of sub-
stance, Uriel keeps the universal Law of Order and Harmony,
both within and between each body. The colour which repre-
sents Uriel is silvery-white.

The phenomenon of life in all the kingdoms is the work of the Archangels of the elements.

When a human being first incarnates into the lower worlds it does so with one Archangel from each Order of the elements. Thus, within the bodies of every human being there work a Michael, a Gabriel, a Raphael, a Uriel and a Shamael. Shamael, who is the angel of earth, is the elemental projection of Lucifer, the Archangel of light and keeper of duality. Shamael is not himself an Archangel.

Let us now look at the way they serve our material body. As the angel of earth and minerals, and in everlasting cooperation with the Archangels, Shamael provides us with the material for our bones, our muscles and the organs of the body. Michael gives us bodily warmth and rich red blood. Gabriel gives us the body’s various fluids. Raphael provides our etheric vitality and plays an invaluable role in maintaining our health. During the night these Archangels work in our resting bodies to enact repairs toward good health.

Corresponding to their immaculate labours in our material body the Archangels also help build and maintain our psychical and noetical bodies and their respective etheric doubles. They work in a similar manner throughout all the universes.

We must learn to work self-consciously with the Archangels of the elements in the maintenance of health and well-being, and also to consciously benefit from their wisdom and love. Exercises and meditations will help us develop awareness of the Archangelic Orders.

EP 52 Archangels are constantly creating such images, in accordance with the Divine forms, when they shape universes and worlds, and when they form angels to watch over their work..

ET 34 The Holy Spirit and Its co-workers --the Archangels-- work
with Total Wisdom and Super-consciousness in the material
body and the related worlds, to engender the phenomenon of
life.

ET 46 We must remember though, that the permanent personality
and our Guardian Archangel are not apart from us looking
down, but are within us all along.

ET 59 The Archangels are Logoic and Holy Spiritual Beings, who
build, govern over and project themselves into the
universes. We know, furthermore, that humanity before
passing through the Human Idea, is an Archangel within
Archangelic Orders.

ET 60 Does Archangel posses Self-awareness? Certainly, but not
the Self-awareness common to human beings. The Archangel
possesses Total Wisdom, and knows the Laws and Causes and
their expressions. It does not, however, display the
phenomenon of Self-awareness in various stages as humanity
does. The Archangel has no subconscious, nor self-conscious,
nor super-conscious Self-awareness. It has Absolute Self-
awareness. Perhaps Total Wisdom knows the nature of Total
Wisdom? Perhaps light knows the nature of light?

ET 61 Before their expression, Human Beings and Archangels, as
Holy Monads, differ little from each other. Later, however,
when they return to be within Absolute Beingness, the
difference is great. The Archangels of the elements --of
fire, of liquid, of earth, of ether-- do not obtain
conscious Self-awareness in any of their expressions. This
is because they had their Being and were exposed to what-
ever experiences they had, without being able to make
comparisons. An Archangel of fire uses this element with
total wisdom, but does not know the emotions and thoughts,
which are aroused by the presence of this element.

So, we see that the Archangels of the elements are all-wise without possessing human Self-awareness. One is like another; one lives within all and all live within one.

ET 61 The Archangel indeed possesses everything, except the
capacity to measure and compare.

ET 61 In the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) the
father gives the returning son a ring. This ring is a
symbol of mastery of time and space, as a circle with no
beginning nor end --eternity--. His brother --an Arch-
angel--, who has never left his father’s side, complains
that he is offered nothing in return for his obedience.
Yet the gift to the Prodigal Son is well earned, for he
has toiled long and hard in the worlds of separation.

ET 62 For anyone to determine the nature of the Archangels, the
angels or human beings within Absolute Beingness, it is
essential to acquire the capability to total attunement
and at-one-ment. It is necessary to go beyond the nature
of human Self-awareness, which is focussed upon place-
time events, and to enter the reality of life, by achiev-
ing super-conscious Self-awareness, which extends into
the stages of ecstasy.

ET 62 The Archangels communicate with each other, but with a
language different from our own; their communication is
primarily through the medium of love.

ET 62 For the Archangels, however, words have no meaning, as
every communication is emitted and absorbed as an
universal idea-shape.

The language of Archangels covers a broad spectrum of colours and sounds. The sounds uttered by the Archangels bring about the creation of the universes. They use the supersubstance of Mind in a perfect way and produce creative vibrations, which shape and put matter into place and order according to the Law. When a human being develops to the point at which he learns of these vibrations, which require no material tongue for their production, but only that the heart be attuned to them, then he can produce the same sounds and become a master of materialization and dematerialization amongst other abilities.

ET 63 Within the Absolute Super Self-aware Self-sufficiency of
Absolute Beingness are the Holy Monadic Beings, Orders of
Archangels, with each Order containing myriad upon myriad
of Beings of the same type.

We know of the existence of twelve Archangelic Orders:

of Thrones, of Authorities, of Dominions, of Principalities, of Overlords, Seraphims along with others, named and unnamed. No one has ever spoken in detail of the kind of vibrations of the Archangels who belong to the higher echelons of the Orders, because few have come close enough to these Orders to be attuned to them.

The Dominions or Overlordships are, by their nature, beyond any research because they differ little from Absolute Beingness, from the human point of view. Most of us cannot understand the vibrations of these Archangels, perhaps because they are more within Divine Self-sufficiency than within Divine Will-pleasure.

ET 64 Let us turn to the subject of our Guardian Archangel, who
is from the Order of the Thrones, and who accompanies us
during all our incarnations. This Archangel is in no way
different from the Archangels of the Order of the Thrones,
while also in at-one-ment with all the Archangels. In a
similar manner the Self-aware Soul is an expression of the
Human as Holy Monad. What we can say about this Archangel
from the Thrones is that It is always inside us, to the
extent that several systems of research call It the "twin
soul". We do not resort to any such conjectures, however,
because we know that the Guardian Archangel is not identi-
cal with our Ego-Self. It has its own eternal nature and
existence. It can, however, by attuning to our senses,
come to resemble us.

ET 65 The Archangels of the Elements
Michael-- "Ma-Ha-El", Archangel of light and of fire.
Colour- red
Gabriel-- "Kha-Vir-El", Ruler of water and liquids, is
the steward of the whole of the physical kingdom
Colour- blue
Raphael-- "Ra-Fa-EL" The planet is entirely in its domain,
who controls the electromagnetic forces- etheric
vitality as we call it.
Colour- all shades of violet-- A mixture of red and blue.

ET 66 Uriel-- "U-Ra-El" is the Coordinator of the work of all
the Archangels within the gross material body.

Holds the Law of Order and Harmony Colour- silvery-white

Michael and Gabriel cooperate within the human body in the creation of red blood.

Raphael cooperates with the other two Archangels.

These Archangels have full creative action not only in the material body, but also in the psychic and noetical bodies.

Angel Shamael- Ruler of the element of Earth

The production of the phenomenon of life in those kingdoms is the work of all the Archangels of the elements, but particularly of the Angel Shamael.

The Archangels keep the planets in balance in space and control their relationship with their parent, the Sun, which is their headquarters- as far as we earthlings are concerned.

ET 67 The various forms of plants and animals do not possess an
eternal self-aware nature, but are breaths of life, whose
experiences are transferred directly to the Archangel,
which represents them.

ET 113 Let us now look at the way each Archangel serves us. Shaxnael, as the angel of earth and minerals provides us, in everlasting cooperation with the Archangels, he material for our bones, our muscles and the organs of the body.

Michael, gives us the bodily warmth, and the warm red blood. Colour is red in all its shades

Gabriel, gives us the body’s various fluids. Colour is brilliantly azure, in different shades down to dark blue.

Raphael, gives us our etheric vitality and plays an invaluable role in the maintenance of good health in each of us. Colour has shades of violet. the great harmonizer of substance is in the silvery-white light.

ET 113 We see a human being "die" - we prefer to say "pass-over" -, what is the characteristic of the corpse? Earth, everything becomes a gas and returns to earth. What is not dissolved and takes its departure is our present personality. Raphael is the first Archangel to depart for it is he who cuts the silver cord, in his capacity as the controller of etheric vitality. Then the departing personality sets flight, accompanied by Archangel Michael, who in leaving takes his warmth with him, which explains why a dead body rapidly cools.

Together with Michael, Gabriel also departs and abandons the water element, so that he ceases to coordinate the working of the body’s various liquids. The coordinating Archangel Uriel also leaves. The only one who does not follow them is Shamael, the angel of earth, who, as such, remains with the earth.

ET 114 Michael, Gabriel and Raphael work simultaneously in the material, psychic and noetical bodies through the etheric doubles of each body.

In the psychic body, however, Raphael and Gabriel play the principal roles, since they have a closer connection with etheric matter, while Michael plays a secondary role.

Then, when the psychic body is discarded, at the time of the so-called "second death", these Archangels work together on the noetical body. Raphael, again, has the predominant role at that stage, as controller of Mind, in its pure state. Similarly, Micheal’s work there is of greater intensity, while it is Gabriel who plays a secondary role.

ET 114 The etheric doubles are the binding links between the various bodies and are withdrawn when the bodies are dissolved.
