The Psychology of Angels

Angels have fascinated human consciousness since the beginning of time. The word angel derives from the Greek angelos, which is the default translation of the Biblical Hebrew term mal’ākh (literally “messenger”). The angel is a messenger between God and mankind.Whether we talk about angels, daimons, djinns, fairies, or any other of such beings, they all hold something in common, despite their difference in appearance, namely, they are all archetypal images of the same fundamental pattern, the archetype of the ethereal being. These spirits coexist with us; they just exist at another level of reality.As the archetypal image of the call, the angel initiates individuation, the journey towards wholeness of personality (the Self), as well theosis (union with God). Therefore, angels can help us both psychologically and spiritually. The integration of the angel archetype allows us to examine the nature of our essence or soul, the uniqueness that asks to be lived in each of us, and that unfolds itself during our lifetime. Thus, angels carry our true vocation, which is a calling, towards the meaning of our life.👑 Become a Patron⁠⁠Access exclusive material and deeper studies⁠⁠—Support the work☕⁠⁠ Buy a coffee⁠⁠💸 ⁠⁠PayPal⁠⁠👕 ⁠⁠Official Merch⁠⁠—For deeper study📜 ⁠⁠Full transcript⁠⁠📚 ⁠⁠Personal library⁠⁠💡 ⁠⁠eBooks⁠⁠🎨 ⁠⁠Artwork archive⁠⁠Stay connected📨 ⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠✍️ ⁠⁠Substack⁠⁠—Elsewhere🐦 ⁠⁠X⁠⁠📷 ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠📘 ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠━━━━━━━━━━━━━📚 Recommended Reading▶ The City of God – Saint Augustinehttps://amzn.to/405uOTu▶ The Soul’s Code – James Hillmanhttps://amzn.to/3M3QQjJ▶ The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herselfhttps://amzn.to/3s1WZGv▶ Journal of Dreams – Emanuel Swedenborghttps://amzn.to/3S7Mlsy▶ Marriage of Heaven and Hell – William Blakehttps://amzn.to/3Qpclyj▶ The Essential Sermons & more – Meister Eckharthttps://amzn.to/45D2rgP▶ Duino Elegies – Rainer Maria Rilkehttps://amzn.to/45D21af▶ The Way of the Dream – M.L. von Franzhttps://amzn.to/4051Pzo🎧 Prefer Audiobooks?
