Angels: How Light and Dark Help Us Grow

dark angels can help keep us alive and protected through a dangerous incident

 

How could dark angels possibly help us grow into more light and spiritual awareness? The answer may be surprising: they do it through protection!

 

Think about it: if you needed protection, you may not want to rely on a sweet little cherub with wings. What if your life was in danger? This little angel may not have the ability to handle some of the dark energies that we face on Earth. An experience I’ve had illustrates this concept.

 

One day a young man came to the Hawaiian healing clinic where I was working with several others. This man, who had just returned from traveling in the mid-East, requested an aura healing. As we worked, we found that this man had a ‘being’ around him that looked like a gargoyle. I understood that the man had made an unconscious agreement with this being while traveling through an area that is often dangerous to Americans. Now that the man had returned to the United States , he didn’t need the protection any longer. After asking God if it was appropriate for this man to break his agreement, and receiving an affirmative response, we did just that.

 

What a concept! What an experience!

 

Gargoyles (grotesquely carved faces or figures projecting from roof gutters or the side walls of cathedrals and churches) are thought to ward off evil and protect the vulnerable. As such, similar dark angels can help keep us alive and protected through a dangerous incident, such as scaring someone away from us that intends to do harm.

 

If a woman is in an abusive relationship or marriage, she may unconsciously ‘hire’ a gargoyle-looking being to protect her. If abuse is perpetrated, this being may stay close to her body and keep it alive until the abuse is over. In this way, her spirit will not be fragmented to the degree it might be if she had been alone. However, what happens down the line? Let’s say the same woman leaves that relationship and, years later, is ready for a healthier one. The same gargoyle-being might now interfere with her ability to have a new relationship because she hasn’t broken the original contract or agreement. (This is often done through one’s dream space, for example.) In such instances, the gargoyle-being may continue to do the very good job he did before of ‘protecting’ this woman, even if she doesn’t need the protection.

 

Other beings that can help us are often called spirit guides. These beings may help us at different times for specific purposes. For example, as children many of us learn that it is dangerous to exhibit anger to our parents. Our survival depends upon our parents loving and feeding us, housing and training us, etc. If our childhood anger isn’t controlled, it can affect how we are cared or not cared for. So, on a subconscious level, a young girl might hire a spirit being to manage anger for her. Years later, as an adult, she may come to find that she has trouble feeling or even being aware that she is angry. If she is able to break the original agreement with her spirit being, she will have an opportunity to experience more of her own anger and may become more adept at identifying and handling it. Anger is an appropriate, God-given ability and allows us to understand when someone has overstepped a boundary. When we express our anger appropriately, it can be a huge power and healing for us.

 

Often, our spirit guides will whisper to us a better direction or choice for us to make—a different job, whether or not to have a baby or change residence or leave a relationship. When we don’t respond to the whisper, our guides may increase their whispers to shouting. If we still don’t hear or pay attention, they may raise the ante and create a situation that we can’t miss. We might suddenly lose a job or friendship, or becoming ill. Such dramas are created to make us slow down and think about our life in a different way.

 

Angels also help us with (or sometimes give us) difficult tests. Like forged steel, if we make it through the fire of our challenges, we end up stronger, wiser and more resilient.

 

Looking for a New Year’s Resolution to take more control of your own life and handle more of your own ‘darker’ emotions? If you limit yourself from experiencing unpleasant emotions, you also limit yourself from experiencing more pleasant emotions. Consider your emotions as a spectrum; in the center is neutral (feeling neither good nor bad). Your spectrum might look like this:   Joy – Serenity – Peace – Happiness – Neutral – Irritation – Anger – Rage -- Fury   Now, imagine a pendulum that hangs above the spectrum and represents how you experience your emotions. If the pendulum is firmly attached to the center (neutral) and you don’t allow yourself to swing into and responsibly experience the darker emotions of anger and rage, then you also limit your emotional body from swinging into the higher emotions of serenity and peace.   When we limit the emotional body, we get stuck in negative situations and relationships because we’re not facing the things we need to see and change. Getting stuck reduces our ability to figure out what we really want; it also reduces the energy we could use to create what we want.   As a movement toward peace, consider allowing yourself to really feel how you experience your world and how your body is affected. By doing so, you are taking steps toward reclaiming your own power and understanding more about your life and spiritual path.
