| Arch Angels Ancient man, whilst studying the nature of existence, discovered that the four mighty elements, which governed life, were fundamental to all manifestation These elements were:- Air, Fire, Water, Earth. Understanding themselves as part of manifestation, these ancient people searched for the elements within themselves. | As their thoughts were free moving, and unseen, they likened them to the element Air. | | As their desires burned in their breasts, so they likened this to the element Fire. | | As tears flowed in response to their feelings, so they likened this to the element Water. | | And, as the stability of their bodies, like the planet they lived upon, was the basis of survival, so this then represented the element Earth. | Extending this understanding, it was thus decided that there were four inner requirements for lasting happiness. They were - | Peace of mind - Thoughts(Air) | | Courage of convictions - Desires(Fire) | | Love within the heart - feelings(Water) | | Strength of resolve - Stability(Earth) | Just as the four elements are the building bricks of manifestation, so these four great truths became the building bricks of civilisation, and were eventually known as the attributes of:- | Faith, Hope, Charity and Understanding. | We hear of these qualities in Spiritual teachings, but few people really appreciate their meaning, or the history behind them. In ancient times the wise men of the Aztecs, Shamen, Israelites, Egyptians and many others, including the Massai Tribes of Africa, lived by these beliefs, and throughout the ages pieced together pictorial images which described the four great concepts in a way that all could visualise and understand. Over aeons of time these images were continuously built by man, and ensouled by spiritual forces, until eventually they became accepted, by all the religions of the world, as archetypes of great power, described by different names, but with the same faces. In Western tradition the archetypes are known as:- | The Archangels - Raphael, Mikael, Gabriel, and Uriel | These angelic forces represent respectively :- | Peace through Faith - Raphael. | | Courage through Hope - Mikael. | | Love through Charity - Gabriel. | | Strength through Understanding - Uriel. | And, through the immensity of their Angelic power, these Archangels are deemed capable of manipulating and controlling the mighty energies of the elements. The energies of the elements were known as the Elemental Kingdoms around which definite images also evolved to aid understanding. Hence in every folk law we find stories of | Sylphs, Salamanders, Undines and Faeriefolk. | As far reaching as this philosophy may seem, it cannot be denied that the human mind is capable of achieving phenomena way beyond scientific understanding. It is on 'belief�?that religions are built and, with the loss of belief, empires have fallen. Over thousands of years the images of The Archangels and Elemental Kingdoms have been passed down from generation to generation. Although originally portraying a force or an idea in the minds of ancient man, so strong is their description that these images - like a hologram - have left their imprint deep in the recesses of all our hearts. Whatever we may believe, the ‘forces�?of Peace, Courage, Love and Strength are as real as those of War, Fear, Hate and Weakness. The only difference being that one builds unity amongst mankind, and the other destroys it.. Thus it is the solid belief of many that the Archangels are Masters of the elements and - when ‘consciously�?cultivated within our psyche - form around us a protection so great that no destructive influence is able to penetrate. It is also thought by some that, if we forget these Archangels and their Elemental Kingdoms, they will get weaker and weaker, and eventually no longer exist, for their images will fade, and the principles they portray will dwindle and die. Whether we believe they exist or not, it may be interesting to consider if it is worth the risk of denying them. just in case? |

RAPHAEL (Archangel): God has healed!
"Raphael is perhaps the most endearing of all the angels, and the one most frequently depicted in Western art. His image is featured on the canvases of such masters as Botticelli, Titian, and Rembrandt. His name means -- "God has Healed." Not only doe s he appear to be the high archangel charged with healing the Earth, but according to the Zohar, 'the Earth furnishes an abode for man, whom Raphael also heals of his maladies'."
^Raphael is the travelers guide, guardian of youth...The ruler of the second heaven shows up in Christian paintings carrying a pilgrim's stick, a wallet and a fish. The poet Milton has Raphael eating supper with Adam and Eve in Eden.^ "Indeed, Raphael's career seems to be peppered with medical missions. He healed the pain of circumcision for Abraham as the old man had not had the procedure done when he was young. Raphael was then sent by God to cure poor Jacob's thigh after he'd bee n roughed up by Samael. And it's also claimed that Raphael gave Noah a much-prized 'medical book' after the flood." "There's a legend that when Solomon prayed to God for aid in building the great temple in Jerusalem, Raphael personally delivered the gift of a magic ring with the power to subdue all demons. It was with this 'slave labor' that the Hebrew king completed the construction." "Raphael has also been called 'a guide in hell,' which after all is where healing is needed the most."

METATRON (Cherubim): One who occupies the throne next to the Divine throne!
"In the world of Jewish mystics, came to hold the rank of the highest of the angels despite his not being mentioned in the Scriptures. The meaning of his name has never been satisfactorily explained although one interpretation of it is "one who occupies the throne next to the Divine throne." It could also be derived from the Latin 'metator', a guide or measurer."
"In a number of traditional sources, Metatron is said to have been the prophet Enoch, who was taken up to Heaven and transformed into an angel of fire, with thirty-six pairs of wings, to continue his days as a celestial scribe. Metatron has also been id entified as the Liberating Angel and the one who wrestled with Jacob; the one who stayed Abraham's hand from sacrificing his son Isaac; and the one who led the Hebrews through the forty years in the wilderness. In certain schools of mysticism, Metatron, said to be the tallest of all the heavenly beings, became known as Lesser YHWH. In Hebrew, the letters 'LHWH' stand for the most sacred and unpronounceable name of God." "As God has many names, so, too, Metatron was thought to have many names, the use of which was believed to offer the user protection and access to this great angel's powers. Yahoel, Yofiel, Surya, and Lad are just a few of his other names." ^Sitting beside God, Metatron, the throne angel with 72 names, records Israel's good and bad deeds. One mystic said Metatron carries Jewish prayers up through 900 heavens to God.^ [ Metatron is Head of the Sirian Central Sun Council ] All Rights Reserved (C) 1994-2002 by SpiritWeb Org.

URIEL (Archangel): Fire of God!
"Uriel's name means -- "Fire of God," -- and he is ranked variously as a seraph, cherub, regent of the Sun, flame of God, presider over Hades and, in his best-known role, as the Archangel of Salvation. Like Metatron, Uriel is said to be one of the angel s of the Presence, a most high posting since only the highest voltage angels can sustain the presence of God."
"Uriel is thought to have been "the spirit who stood at the gate of the lost Eden with the fiery sword." The Book of Enoch tells us that it was Uriel who was sent by God to warn Noah of the impending flood, and elsewhere it is written that he disclosed the mysteries of the heavenly arcana to Ezra, and that he also led Abraham out of Ur in the Chaldean region." "Some have claimed that the divine art of alchemy was brought down to Earth by Uriel, and that it was also this angel who gave the Kabbalah, the Hebrew mystic tradition, to humankind. John Milton describes Uriel as the 'sharpest sighted spirit of all in Heaven'. The angel who showed up to berate Moses for neglecting to circumcise his own son Gershom. Sharp eyes indeed!" ^Uriel is associated by legend with earthquakes, storms, erupting volcanoes and such has a big part in Milton's "Paradise Lost." There, as governor of the sun, he is tricked by Satan, disguised as a young angel, into giving directions to earth, and from there to Eden. Once there, tempting Satan sought out Eve's ear.^ [ Washta:...There are many others, such as Raphael and Uriel, who sit above in the 4th and 5th dimensions to aid Gabriel in this ascension process. They also have access to the 6th and 7th dimensions to assist Archangel Michael with the special life ene rgies being brought through the Time Lords, down to the 8th and 7th dimensions. ] All Rights Reserved (C) 1994-2002 by SpiritWeb Org.

GABRIEL (Archangel): God is my strength!
"Whose name means -- 'God is my strength' -- seems to be our most frequent visitor from the higher realms. He astonished Mary, and her cousin Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, with the pronouncements concerning the births of their respective sons. To the followers of Islam, Gabriel is the Spirit of Truth who dictated the Koran to Mohammed. In Jewish legend it was Gabriel who parted the waters of the Red Sea so that the Hebrews could escape from the Pharaoh's soldiers."
"According to court testimony of the time, it was Gabriel who came to Joan of Arc and inspired her to go to the aid of the dauphin (the eldest son of the king of France). Gabriel's apparent ongoing interest in this planet is most probably due to his fun ction as heavenly awakener, the angel of vibratory transformation." ^...Sitting on God's left hand, Gabriel is said to be the angel that destroyed perverted Sodom...served as God's treasurer, and will blow the final horn at doomsday.^ Gabriel in Hebrew means 'man of God', and is seen as God's messenger. Described as a human figure with long hair and multi-colored wings and often seen holding a scepter or lily. Gabriel's feast day is March 24. He was declared on January 12, 1951, by Pope Pius XII, the patron of those involved in electronic communications, which illustrates Gabriel's function as a messenger. [ Washta:...Then you have Archangel Gabriel, who is the angel in charge of many dimensions -- namely, the 3rd, 4th, and 5th...so, archangels Michael and Gabriel are now involved in the process of bringing in the energies of the new and glorious galactic human consciousness, and the civilization that these galactic humans will reside in. ] All Rights Reserved (C) 1994-2002 by SpiritWeb Org.

MICHAEL (Archangel): Who is like God?
"Whose name is a question -- 'Who is like God?' -- is surely the best known of the overlighting archangels. Michael is acknowledged by all three Western sacred traditions. He is believed to appeared to Moses as the fire in the burning bush, and to have rescued Daniel and his friends from the lions' den. To Christians, he's the angel who informed Mary of her approaching death. Islamic lore tells us that his wings are the color of 'green emerald and are covered with saffron hairs, each of them containi ng a million faces and mouths and as many tongues which, in a million dialects, implore the pardon of Allah.' The Koran also paints the touching image of the cherubim being formed from the tears of Michael." "In the Dead Sea Scrolls Michael emerges as the 'Prince of Light' fighting a war against the Sons of Darkness in which he leads the angelic battle against the legion of the fallen angel, Belial. Most recently, in 1950, Pope Pius XII declared Michael to be the patron of all policemen." ^Michael is the protector of the Christian Church, guardian angel of Israel, and commander-in-chief of God's angel armies. He led them during a war in heaven in which Satan and his fallen angels were driven out of the clouds. In Moslem lure, Michael is described as having hairs of saffron, wings of green topaz and a million faces, each face with a million eyes, each eye shedding 70,000 tears. Even though he lives in the seventh heaven.^ Christian art and iconography shows Michael with a sword or with a scale weighing the souls of the dead. His feast day is September 29. [ Washta:...The most important for all of you is Archangel Michael, who sits with Metatron and many others on the councils that control your planet and its many dimensions. Archangel Michael guides the life energies down through the eight great dimensions to Earth, so that planet Earth can have a living biosphere...the Spiritual Hierarchy has appointed archangels Michael and Gabriel as the two official overseers to coordinate with the Sirians under the auspices of the Galactic Federation...Archangel Michael and Gabriel are more of an interdimensional angelic form and not attached to the physical energy of a specific solar system and planet, so they cooperate with the Time Lords who control physical reality (matter). ] [ On the question of Archangel Michael's "lost war in heaven;" Washta:...This relates historically to the original creation. In this physical creation, you see, there was established one basic concept. It was the idea that a great darkness would exist, from which would eventually come a great celestial light. That is why in the creation stories from many sources, including the Christian Bible, there is darkness indicated in the very beginning. -- For the purpose of this creation was to prove that dark ness is not as great as light. Archangel Michael was given the divine task of acting as the chief intermediary between the Time Lords, who were given instructions by the Supreme Creative Force on how to create this present physical creation, and the dark force that was created to be the supreme test for this creation. Archangel Michael therefore set out to aid in putting the eight dimensions together and to make sure that all the various dimensional angelic and archangelic forces were put in the proper pla ces. In order to create this pattern for the divine plan, it was necessary to create a being within that darkness. Hence, the Archangel Michael established the energies that would create a being of darkness, as called for under the divine plan. That is what the so-called "war in heaven" refers to. This being of darkness was created by God's plan so that eventually the dark energy patterns could be transformed back to light after many physical lifetimes lived on planet Earth. This transformation would eventually lead to a great series of immortals living in light. This is what Michael's energy patterns, and all the stories about him, are about. ] [ On the question of 'identity of the dark force'; Washta:...This energy was created by him as part of the divine plan which he was given permission to do. He will be merging these two energies of light and dark as part of the upcoming ascension process . That is why the Age of Light has been forecast by many Sirians and others in the Galactic Federation who are Time Keepers. We understand the energy patterns that now surrounds this physical creation of bringing dark into light...This [does not have] a name that is recognizable in itself to humans on your planet, since many different names for it have been given, such as Satan, the devil, etc. However, know that this name will be given to humans when the process of the landings [Sirian] occur, for Arc hangel Michael will make a formal announcement of what is occurring; and he will explain what the time patterns are that will allow him to re-emerge and create the great light in your galaxy. ] All Rights Reserved (C) 1994-2002 by SpiritWeb Org.
