The best way that I can explain the difference is with the Qabalah. Archangels and choirs of angels are discarnate beings who represent certain aspects of Creation.
Ra is like us, they were created to evolve through the densities rather than to maintain or aid certain aspects of creation. Angels are created for specific functions and purposes, as I understand it. This I got from Q’uo and my study of Qabalah. Infinite pointed out that Q’uo mentions two types of angels: beings who’ve evolved to an angelic nature, and created beings called angels who have never incarnated.
With the Qabalah we have four worlds: Archetypal, Creative, Formative, Material. The archetypes as they exist in the Mind of God belong to the Archetypal world (Atziluth). Next, in the world of Briah, the Creative world, are manifest the Archangels, such as Ratziel (Wisdom), Khamael (Strength/Power), Michael (Beauty/healing), etc. Angels are helpers, servers of our blessed Lord. After the Creative world, comes the Formative world (Yetzirah). This is occupied by the choirs of angels, such as thrones, kings, arilum, ophanim, etc. and then finally the material realm (Assiah), which are represented by the planets and stars.
With beings (mind/body/spirit complexes) like us and Ra, we’ve taken the full involutionary path and started our journey from the Malkuth of Assiah. Archangels are denizens of the Creative world, a world quite removed from the material realm. They’ve never incarnated and will not do so. Nor will the angels of Yetzirah. They serve a different purpose in Creation than we (mind/body/spirit complexes) do. We all serve the Creator. All is One.
Hope that shed some light!
