Should we believe in angels and devils? Are there any invisible creaturesSee page who ensure the smooth running of universal things? The legions of angels are they really supernatural, or is it a squad of astronauts wearing antigravity suits?

Moses Maimonides1138-1204, physician and philosopher, undisputed leader of Judaism considers the angels in Plato's way: distant sources of energy more powerful than men. But he was still influenced by the ancient tradition: his belief in angels, common to Jews and Christians, has its origin in Persian and Indian traditions, teaching that all the angels are not immortal. Aside of "standing" angels, as the archangels, there are "perishable" angels, ie mortal.(source)Maimonides Works Does it mean that angels are not divine? Divinity appeared to be a status with different degrees.

The angels are they men?Or women? See page In any case, they look smarter than us. They have the intelligence of the nagual,See page they use the full range of powers of the mind.See page Thus Maimonides called them Intelligences. Pure spirits without bodies, they are invisible. If they lend a human form, it is by "accommodation to the weakness of average intelligence." Maimonides adds: "Whenever the spirits come to earth, they dress tangible assets and appear to men in human form." (source)Zohar, Vayera 101a

In accordance with ancient tradition, Maimonides sees angels as fragile, not physical entities: "They were given wings, because flying is the most perfect and most noble of local movements of animal, which allows to approach and depart in the blink of an eye." And at the same time it sees a human eye, too much human: "The divine army consists of ten levels of angels under the command of Deus Sabaoth, the God of Hosts." (source)Maimonides Works

These angels of God who are fighting in cohorts rows remind us these soldiers monksSee page who killed for the love of Christ. A strange contradiction. How this Yahveh can be both god of love and Sabaoth, god of armies? God only knows.

Anyway, the track of angels is much older than Judaism. They are already present in Zoroastrianism.The earliest Indian religion and Persian, which dates back to the second millennium BC. According to the Zend-Avesta, a hierarchy of angels forms the invisible backbone of the universe. High up near Ahura Mazda, come the seven immortal saints, kind of super archangels with super powers. Then come different categories of Yazatas: angels, executors, subtle world entities, which correspond to the elemental beings of the Old Religion.

Angels might well be the missing link between paganism and monotheism. You wouldn't think it, but those intangible and terrible beings are rooted in the unconscious of Jews and Christians. Both charming and frightening, helpful and vengeful, they're fresh air circulating in churches, temples and synagogues. The angels have a secret, but sensitive relationship with the period of Middle-Ages we call the spring of cathedrals, this magical reunion with the ancient science of sacred building.

The angels of Jewish tradition are at the root of the Christian tradition. The seven archangels are common, including three under the same name, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. Each has his office: Michael, winner of the dragon, guards and rekindles the sacred fire in the hearts of men. Gabriel, archangel of humility, gives us the strength and courage in fighting against the destructive pride and advances of the devil. Raphael, the healer in God takes care of our physical and spiritual health.

Besides the three biblical archangels, the QabalahHebrew word meaning and tradition dating back to 2nd century BC lists 72 angels or genii that govern Zodiac 360: Faheriel, Adariel, Kadochiel, Rehuniel, Daliel, Charoel, Suriel. Looks like another version of the Hindu pantheon or Greek mythology! The origin of angels is confused with the old religion, paganism of the great goddessSee Tuatha Dé Danann who has long reigned over the East as in the West.

In the Bible, angels are rare events. This is not an angel but YHVHSee page who fired Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. Right away, Heaven became forever inaccessible to men, for its door is guarded by two cherubim. No pink and chubby cherubs, oh no. The cherubim are formidable warriors armed with flaming sword: that mysterious sword is the weapon of Lugh, the father of Cuchulainn.See page Some authors have identified lightning.See Par le foudre et le feu

Since then, only a select few have interacted with the angels. In the Gospel, is Gabriel, the angel of the Annunciation, which appears to Zechariah in the Temple, then to the Virgin.See La face cachée de Jésus Mary, entering her home and welcoming "full of grace". (Source)Evangile of Luke At the birth of Jesus, the shepherds have a vision of legions of angels celebrating. Jesus often speak of angels, in accordance with the tradition that makes real people and very powerful. At his command, Jesus had twelve legions of angels.

For the angels are multitudes "Their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands," says the Bible. The hierarchy has seven angelic choirs of different nature which rise gradually from man to God. First the chorus of angels, then that of the archangels, principalities, powers, virtues and dominations. The seventh and last chorus is Trinitarian, consisting of the Seraphim, Cherubim and Thrones. The Deity is located beyond itself is Trinitarian. (source)Dionysius

They are also very powerful: Peter said that they outweigh the men in power.2 Pe2.11 The Greek word used in this paper is that we have learned the name of an explosive: dunamos, dynamite. Somehow, the Angels are the dynamite of God.  (source)Wikipedia A single angel exterminated all the mighty men of valor of the army of Syria, meeting cons Ezechias.2 Chr 32.21 One shut the mouths of lions at the time Daniel.Dan 6.22 An angel rolls the stone sepulcher of Jesus without difficultyMt28.2 An angel opened the prison gates and releasing the apostlesAc5.19 Peter.Ac12.7 One angel and Satan and will lock up into the abyss.Ap20.2

For these feats, we can recognize other primordial powers, Cyclops and the Titans, also half-human, half-divine, also an indomitable strength and a superior intellect.Except for Epimetheus! See La beauté de Pandora The Bible does not speak of the need for angels to eat to stay alive. She said however that on some occasions the angels in human form, shared a meal.Gn18.1-5 et Gn19.3 Are angels the men before the flood, the old gods who brought civilization and technology?

Again, impossible to decide between human nature and divine beings of ambiguous. What looked like they? At the resurrection, the angels who appaissent the Holy Women are "white as snow" or "dressed like lightning" when previously there was no description of their looks. Judging from their flight, their power, their flaming sword and suit of lights, "dressed like lightning," they would say out of Star Wars. Are they mortal or divine? It may be a false debate.

We have seen that before the gods are only men like us, who are their creatures. They are stronger, wiser and live longer. Like angels. In the Bible it is difficult at times to distinguish between the Elohim and their  servants the angels.See Le sexe des anges Some of these groups has a human appearance and a superhuman strength. It may be noted one major difference. The gods before, our designers Sumerian, belonged to the ancient Snake People,See page like QuetzalcoatlSee Les plumes du serpent and Viracocha,Voir Le christ des Andes in America, probably at the same time.

Now it seems that the angelic armies are not in the same camp as these gods before. In the Apocalypse, John relates the vision of St. Michael and his legions of angels who fight and win the final victory of God against ancient snake who misled the world for centuries. It reminds the evil tempter in the garden of Eden, that the poor Eve was weak enough to listen. It reminds the devil, this fallen angel attached to our loss. What an ambiguous character, too! The devil is not the bad guy we were told. With this damn inversion of values that characterizes our end of Kali Yuga, one comes to doubt everyone and everything.

Obsolete is the system contrasting two irreconcilable principles, the force of good and evil, white and black, the Devil and the Good Lord. Naïve. No one is all white or all black. Positive or negative, energy is always energy. Changing polarities is not changing reality. Time has come to surpass the antagonism against each other, that makes us see evil everywhere except in ourselves. The border between the forces of good and those of evil, is it not within everyone?

Remember: the dark side of force is inside. The light too.

Man or woman, angel or archangel, cherub, or god, in each of us is the war of shadowsTo see "Zombie" click + and light. And this eternal war is probably necessary. No man, no woman is neither angel nor devil. Who wants to be an angel, becomes a beast. Who wants to be a beast, becomes a beast. The question is not what side you're on, because there is no side. There is only life.  No one is proud enough to moralize nature, except gods. Except those reflections of Man who created the whole mess …
