Title: Sri Yukteswar on Angels Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Sep 08, 2009 08:28 pm In the Holy Science Sri Yukteswar explains that we rise thru several kingdoms as we become more God like. The inanimate, the vegatable, animal, human, angel and then freedom. These are the various kingdoms we must ascend thru until once again we are one with God.
Devata (or literally translated angel) is the kingdom above that of mankind. "When man, cultivating the Divine Spirit or omniscient Love within his heart, is able to withdraw this Jnanamaya Kosha (the second sheath covering the soul), then the innermost sheath, Chitta, the Heart (composed of four ideas), becomes manifest. Man is then called Devata or Angel in the creation." Before this he/she is under the kingdom 'Mankind' Jnanamaya Kosha (the body of Intelligence composed of electricities) becomes perceptible after he/she rises above the animal kingdom. The Atom, acquiring the power of determining right and wrong, becomes man, the rational being in creation.

namaste, thank you for your in depth explanation of Steve's post and for the following comments Quote So in this sense, when we consider Devata or Angel,... we may cognize that an ANGEL is one that has "evolved" back towards the "center",... one that has dissolved many of the subtle Kosha (sheath viels) and is manifesting a very pure "Image" -- most closely labeled Chitta, the Heart. So these Angels, that Into Blue and others sense... they may indeed be the compassionate "images" of Spirit that dance around in Grace and Blessing, manifesting the Omniscient Love of Spirit. And I find it comforting that others have such a strong "sense" of these "Angels". I especially like the way you have phrased this namaste, " So these Angels, that Into Blue and others sense... they may indeed be the compassionate "images" of Spirit that dance around in Grace and Blessing, manifesting the Omniscient Love of Spirit. " beautiful ! blessings and angel hugs to you both, Into Blue Title: Re: Sri Yukteswar on Angels Post by: Lauraa49 on Sep 09, 2009 04:22 pm Quote we may cognize that an ANGEL is one that has "evolved" back towards the "center",... one that has dissolved many of the subtle Kosha (sheath viels) I find this interesting...vey much so inthe aspect of there is a BIRD yes animal kindom bird It shows it self on occasion lately to me yet there is an energy around it It always starts from very very high up slowly decends as it soars what I have noticed that is so very different from the rregular birds is there is a energy around this bird almsot as if it is in a bubbssle this energy actually is cutting through the air like looking at a full egg shaped aura.....on a person this bird has a pure white bubble auric looking energy around it. now this is not normal bird energy I am seeing i believe it to be angelic of nature and the energy just is manifesting/materializing in the animal kindom appearance has fascinated me all summer when get camera to take pic it disappears |
