angels

It's interesting that you can read of angels in the Bible and read about angels in books of theology and even experience the work of angels in your own life and yet never really digest this fact about angels:

"In the Bible, angels are the medium of God's power; they exist to execute God's will."

That quote found here.

I found that quote on that 'wiki' site interesting because I've never really seen what the quote communicates put that starkly in works of theology. Look how the quote includes both aspects of C Influence, i.e. the fact that C Influence is both an influence (medium of God's power) and beings that act in creation and in the life of individuals to effect things (execute God's will).

Conscious Influence can only have one source ultimately, and that is God. And there is a host of beings called angels, and they minister to - serve, in effect also - God's elect (minister to and serve those individual human beings who connect with God). These angels are beings and a 'medium' of God's will. Real Will is connected with this medium of God's will. Real Will is God's will. That Real Will is also a developed individual's top-down will is not a conundrum. Higher Centers give direct access to God, basically. To have connection with Higher Centers means - by default - that you are awake and have inner command (i.e. a conscious being). What this connection between God's will and Real Will means in terms of volition and activity can only be experienced.

Suffice to say: when you are a complete, conscious being glorifying God is not something you merely do, it is something you are. At that point you are a being that glorifies God and experiences joy in God and His Kingdom forever.
