Our Angels

“I was asked about angels and it occurred to me that perhaps a little explanation might be good concerning angels. There are angels who are above angels, and aggels above those angels, and angels above those, and so on. We all have someone that we work with. The angels who work with an archangel use the name of that archangel and that is proper and right that they should do that. When they do, a lot of people say they channel this archangel or they channel that archangel and they do to a degree. But there are thousands of angels who use the name of Gabriel and there are thousands of angels who use the name of Michael and so on. And that is all right. There is nothing wrong with that.

So it isn’t a lesser or more than. It is simply a difference in angels and that is all. It doesn’t matter. You have angel help and really the name of the angel is very inconsequential. I gave my name to Beloved Woman because she refused to talk to a beam of light. So I had to tell her something.

…Angels are an energy field. We don’t have a form. (Gabriel holds up a picture of an angel.)  Do you see this? This is a picture of an angel as people think angels look. We will always appear as you would recognize us so that you can say, ‘Oh, there is an angel.’ But how do we really look? We are a beam of light. Angels borrow people’s bodies from time to time to do a good deed. Also, angels can manifest a physical form for short periods of time that looks very human, very real.

Beloved Woman had an experience on an airplane when she was going from one destination to another. The trip had a lengthy stopover. There was a young woman there who had a child less than a year old who was very active. The mother was very small and she had this very robust, constantly moving, little child. The mother was very weary. You could see that she was very tired holding onto the child who was throwing herself around and reaching for this and that.

So, while the airplane sat on the ground, two young women came down the aisle and they started to admire this little child. They sat on the seat across the aisle from the mother and they said, ‘Oh, may we sit here and play with her and hold her?’ They took the child from the mother and sat there in the mother’s presence. One of the young women engaged the mother in conversation. The other young woman held the child and bounced her about for about a half-hour.

Then the young woman gave the child back to her mother and as the two of them walked up the aisle, they simply disappeared. They were there to help this young mother with her child. Several people saw them. The two women just melted away. All they needed those bodies for was the short little time just to do their good deed.

Questioner: How can we learn to identify our angels?

Gabriel: You don’t need to. Everybody has a couple of hundred angels with them. You just say, ‘Angel, please help me with this or that,’ and they do. They love to be busy.

Questioner: How do you start communications with angels?

Gabriel: Oh, just talk to them. You know, angels love to be talked to. You can hear them. Now don’t misunderstand. When an angel speaks to you, you don’t hear an external voice. It is a voice in your head, so to speak. It is a knowingness within you. It is a feeling. It is a guidance, an urging. Those are angel voices. Just talk to them like you would a friend. They love to be talked to.”
