Messengers of Love

[Black Dragon]

  
In light of there being in these forums such strong perennial interest in dark forces, dark beings and all that jazz, I would offer here a couple of Confederation quotes pointing out that, as groovy as the darkness may appear, the light just might have an whole lot more to offer....if you're into that sort of thing. 

My guess is that many who read a few books about the positive path feel that they have it mostly figured out after a short time because, in part, it's all light and obvious, right?  But could it perhaps be the case that experiential mysteries on the light side could actually go far deeper than the darkness?

Questioner: Does every person have an angel?

Most have more than one angel, depending upon how much of a stinker they really are.* The ones who are kindly affectioned, one to another, have as many as twelve, that is normally the complete assortment of angels that one individual will have.

Angels exist as part of the higher personality of each individual in order to give guidance, self confidence and a feeling of support. Very few among your peoples know how to call upon their angels, and yet they are there and they are as full of love and light as are we. But they are members of your planetary sphere, and thus they have the right to do a little bit more for you than we can. In other words they have the right to be with you, whether you request it or not.
Their rights only stop at the point where the person denies that there are such beings, denies the deity, the spirit, and love itself. This does not remove the angel from the person, but it renders the angel completely helpless, and so the angel patiently and consistently will set up again and again a situation, in which the person who does not believe will see something which, if he thinks about it, can open the door to belief. This much an angel may do; we cannot. We can only come when we are specifically called. For we are not of your planetary sphere, and thus must obey the law of Creation, which is total free will.

Questioner: (Inaudible).

It depends upon your state of belief as to whether angels can physically aid you. If you believe in their reality, they can do almost anything, for grace is given unto those who believe. And the angels are the ministers of that grace. They are people such as you, who had learned through many lifetimes to glorify and praise the Creator. Thus, having learned, the angel can pass on the power and the invocation of light. There is nothing more powerful than the light of the spirit. Thus, if you pray and hear the rustle of angels’ wings, so be it. You have made contact with a part of your personality that links you with the perfection of the Creator.

It is, however, incumbent upon the angel to know the limits of the laws of Creation and the will of the Father. Thus, the angels’ laws are not those of your illusion but those of reality, and so it may seem at times that your requests are not being met. And if this is so, it is because it is not the will of your higher self which shares the perfection of the Creator. For remember that you yourself are the co-creator with the Creator and thus a perfect being, who in some part of yourself knows what you must learn, and how you must learn it in this particular experience. Those who make complete use of their meditation, their prayer, and their faith lead the life of harmony that you would expect of one who lives with the knowledge of the love and the plan of the Creator. The angels are simply messengers of his love, as are we.

This passage is preceded by a brief discussion of balancing: intemperance/patience, and so forth.  Here the state that there is a state beyond balancing "stuff."

There is another way, my friends, and that is available to you only through meditation. And when you enter into this [supernal] joy of infinite life and are one with angels and spirits of high divinity, praising the Creator, then there is no balancing necessary. For this is a joy without what you call emotion. It is so wholehearted, as you would call it, that there is no balancing necessary in order to sustain the energy of the feeling. In fact, joy is not a feeling but a creative force. And another word for that is love. And that is what we greet you with, and that is what we always leave you with.

  

In light of all this, why exactly would anyone of a positive orientation prefer to play games with negative entities?  Is there more to it than ego?  I wonder.
  
   

Just for the sake of clarification, what do you mean by "games"? Do you mean summoning, rituals, trying to control them or make deals with them, that sort of thing? Trying to toy with them in some dumb and arbitrary game of wit for the sake of amusement? I've definitely heard both of those two things discussed here on a handful of occasions. The former usually comes from despair and helplessness/abandonment or the desire for some sort of vengeance, and the latter is certainly a matter of callous egocentrism over anything else. There are other more complex reasons, but those are usually the obvious ones. Perhaps the life of Aleister Crowley is a good example to look at. He had a lot of complex motivations, but some of it was drugs he was prescribed that messed with his head and other things somewhat out of his control.

I really can't tell you though. It doesn't make much sense to me either. As low as I've felt, I never considered turning to negative entities for power. At my most arrogant, I never considered toying with them just for the f*** of it. Me? I want nothing to do with them as much as that's possible. I will not go seek them out, but I will attempt to defend myself if I feel I'm under any sort of attack, for example in a dream state. And no, I don't mean defend myself by invoking some other "bad guy" or using "dark magic" back at them. The statement "I know what you really are" is usually enough. If you make it clear you know their game and you ain't havin' it, that's usually more than enough to frustrate them and send them reeling away helpless. I would be lying if I said I've never gotten some small bit of satisfaction from such a thing though .
