Israfel
Music
None sing so wildly well as the Angel Israfel, and the giddy stars (so legends tell).....Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell of his voice, all mute. Edgar Allen Poe, Israfel
Though all angels sing mighty praises to God, there is a specialorder consecrated to bringing the music of the Spheres. Israfel (Is-raw-fel) and his legions embody the creative word of God. Angels speak from the mind and sing from the heart not as we do through vocal chords. Their singing is like humming or chanting as they express tones without words.
Think back to a time in your life when you heard music that was so powerful and beautiful you were carried away in ecstasy. The angels were there, touching the strings of your heart and spontaneously opening a channel to experience the irresistible force of their expression. Earth music is a weak reflection by comparison.
These choirs are always on the lookout for open hearts and ears so that through them our world may be brought into tune. Spirit melodies are far more than material sound waves and carry pulsations of communication that all beings understand. Each of us takes part in the mighty orchestra of the universe, through which the angels send inspiration, purification, instruction, faith and love to our yearning souls. In moments of stress, heroism or illumination, the Eternal Self inwardly aligns with the particular anthem it requires for courage, balance or serenity. Pray to be enraptured in sublime spirit energy.
Music is a vibration. It is said that the angels closest to God sing "holy,holy,holy". Far more than praising God's greatness, they are gathering waves emanating from God and sending them into space. From their song, worlds are formed. This song of creation is condensed several times, making its way through the angelic hierarchy to be transformed into the archetypes and finally into our physical matter as light, sound, gravity and radio waves.
The old Askenasi pronunciation of the Hebrew word for "holy" is Kadoosh. If you repeat this slowly and softly, it sounds like the surf. A gigantic engery field from the angels reaches Earth in waves, just as the ocean pounds the beach. Carried upon these waves is the sacred name of God, the miracle of love available to all.
Music is a powerful tool for transformation from the little self to the Eternal Self. Search for music that increases your ability to vibrate and feel. When music makes your body want to dance, you are opening to receive more Light. When music touches your heart, you are opening to receive love. When music unleashes your sensuality and passion, you are becoming more alive. When music helps you express anger and rage, you are opening to make room for the transformation that will ultimately take you Home!
When music breaks free the sadness in your heart, you feel an overpowering longing. This vibration is your direct connection with the energy of God, the angels and your Eternal Self.
Go beyond your concept of celestial music and seek the heartbeat of God in the rhythum of traffic or machinery. Heavy metal music, drumming and rock and roll also contain the energy and wisdom of the ages, finding ears that might not hear another way. Hear the music of the spheres, become aware of your judgments and how often you stop yourself or close down. Listen for the voice of God where you least expect it, and remember that you are united with the angels and all of creation as an instrument of the Eternal. Join with the angelic host to sing praises in your own special way.
