Who Are the Angels?
by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

The angels are thoughts of love sent from God. Since God is continuously expressing loving thoughts, there are an infinite number of angels. They are very real messengers, sent by God, to help us to feel peace and joy.

In the true world, where we are one with God and everyone and everything, there are no separated angels or people. We live in this world right now, one with others and with God. Yet, a part of our minds – the ego – is asleep and experiencing a nightmarish dream of being separated from God. While we live in the world that this belief manifests, God sends His thoughts of love – the angels – to help us. What are angels? They are loving thoughts from God.

All thoughts create “thought-forms.” When you think about anything, an electrical impulse is released. Its charge gathers into a form that clairvoyantly looks like a soap bubble. The thought-form creates, manifests, and attracts that which is similar to it. That is why the axiom, “Be careful what you ask for, because you’ll probably get it” is true. Our thought-forms are our obedient servants that manifest into our experiences. The thought-forms do not judge whether what we’ve asked for would help or hurt us.

They simply say, “Yes, Master,” and help us to experience in the material world whatever we’re thinking about. Fearful thoughts take awhile to manifest into form. By the time problems manifest, we’ve usually forgotten the originating negative thought which spawned them. Loving thoughts, in contrast, manifest instantly.

Since God is one hundred percent love, all of His thought-forms are loving. These thought-forms come to us, because that is God’s will. These are the angels, composed purely of God’s love, light, and intelligence.

What do Angels look like? Most angels look like the traditional renaissance paintings. They have wings and gowns of brilliant light. Some angels have obvious genders, and others are androgynous. There are tiny cherubic angels and seven-foot tall angels. Some are full-color, and others are a dazzling singular shade of pure white, blue, or green. They exude sparkles and flashes of light, which we sometimes see as the angels move about.

Yet, the angels take on this traditional appearance of wings and long gownsfor our benefit. They say, “We don’t actually need wings to fly, and since we don’t have bodies, we do not need clothing. We take on this form to help you recognize us. If you expected us to look an entirely different way, then we would happily comply with this appearance, since our only desire is to help God to help you.”

The angels respect you enormously, and they will never do anything to frighten you. If they know that it would scare you to see an angel, they will make sure that you do not see one until you are ready. Yet, though you may not see angels, they are there.

Guardian Angels

There is a hierarchy of angels, because God’s different thoughts of love each fulfill varied functions and purposes. This is as true for angels as it is for people. We each have a unique mission, and no one can fulfill your mission but you! Closest to God are the seraphim and the cherubim, whose job it is to remind us of God’s glory and awesome love. Consequently, these angels glow the brightest, since they are overflowing with God’s light of love. Next in the angelic hierarchy are the dominions, virtues, powers, and principalities. These angels oversee the universe and carry out God’s will across the galaxies. Guardian angels are closest to all living beings, followed by their supervisors, the archangels.

Every person that I’ve ever seen has two or more guardian angels next to them. These angels are with you, from physical birth until death. And yes, even so-called “evil” people have angels. The angels, like God, see that we make mistakes. Some people appear to make really awful mistakes. Yet, heaven looks past our errors and views us as we truly are: holy children of God. The angels know, that by holding this loving viewpoint, everything that seems unloving will disappear. We can learn a lot from them!
