THE ANGELS  

OF GOD
 

I believe that guide angles have been around us since the beginning of time. You have the
Angels of God powers in your life, from the moment you born. God Angels are around us to
guide, guard and force us to spiritual advancing in our life. From the moment of birth our
heavenly father assigns Angels (powers) on each of us.  At the top right of this site you can
enter your birth date information and find out 2 of your guide angels. ( click on submit will
open 2 new windows with the info. of each guide angel)

This site is trying to explore these phenomena called the Angels of God. Here you can learn
about them and how you can develop your own relationship with God via the angels or
expand the contact that you already have with him... Angels commonly thought of us as
messengers and communicators between humans and God, By the Kabalah teaching; the 72
angels are the inhabitants of the nine divine Choirs as described by the kabalistic tree of life,
and are what we all often refer as the Guardians angels, or Guide angels. By the Kabbalah
and many other spiritual teachings the angels connect us to the energies of the Divine, by
using the metaphor of the step down transformer-an electrical device (the angels) that
decreases a high voltage source (the divine or God) so that it can be plugged into a lower
voltage receptor (humans), on the other side, when we invoke, pray or appeal to the divine,
the angels serve as kind of amplifiers to transmit our small and finite communication to the
vast and infinite universal divine.

The angels are energetic embodiments and vibratory expressions of the qualities and person
of the divine. They awaken our consciousness to the presence of the divine that already exist
in each and every human being ( our soul ). By partaking of them we activate aspects of the
divine within us. While we are said to contain all the angelic characters within us and tune to
them in different degrees, we have correspondence to particular angelic forces more,
according to our time and date of birth.

Angels are neither male nor female, but they are often referred to as he or she.  They do not
have a human form because they are made up of divine energy; some call it love and light. 
Angels will project themselves to us in a manner we are most comfortable with, which means
we often see them as human. If they have a message to give us, they may even come to us in
the form of a departed loved one, so as not to scare us. Other ways Angels may appear to us
is through lights, colors, sounds, feelings, thoughts, dreams and scents.

Angels do not want to be worshipped, they do not want us to pray to them as we pray to
God, but we can't expect guidance from them unless we ask for it. God has given all of us
free will and Angels are not interfere with that, yet these energy around us is pushing us to do
things all the time, to fulfill God wish for advance and push upper our souls. To contact
Angels, all you need to do is talk ( real talking or just inside your head ). It's as simple as that.
There is nothing you can't discuss with Angels. They know everything, so you're able to
discuss anything with them. Nothing is too small or trivial for Angels, they're here to guide
and help you.

If you really want, it is very simple to contact your Angels.  All you need to do is call them. 
Many people choose to construct an altar, meditate, read from the bible, light candles, burn
incense... there's as many ways to contact angels, as there are people.  It's all personal
preference.  Even though these techniques may set the stage, make you more comfortable and
make the Angels feel welcomed, this is not necessary.  All you need to do is call out to them. 
It doesn't have to be in words, all it needs to be is a thought "Angel, I need your help."  They
always come if you open yourself up to their energy, you will feel their presence.
 
Once you feel your Angels, ask them questions.  Let your mind go blank and allow anything
to flow, don't try to make it happen.  You may want to keep a journal and write down
anything that comes to mind.  There are many ways to communicate with Angels, no way is
better than the other.  It depends on what is comfortable for you.  Some people meditate,
while others choose to communicate through dreams.  Some people actually hear the Angels
talking to them, while others "feel" what the Angels are saying.  Experiment and find what
works best for you.
 
You'll be able to identify your GuideAngels by the way they "feel".  Each GuideAngel has a
different energy, just like humans.  You may be able to feel their size or color, you may be
able to tell how they smell, or how they sound.  Again, no one way is better than the other, its
how the Angels choose to communicate with you and what's easiest for you to comprehend. 
With time you'll know which Guide Angel is helping you and from there you'll know what
your individual Guides Angels "specialize" in. 

Guardian or Guide Angels are like all other angels, with one exception - they've been
assigned to stand by us throughout our life, through good and bad.  Everyone is given at least
two Guardian Angels, most have much more.

Your Guardian Angels know everything you've said, done or thought since the day you were
born.  They are non-judgmental and they look forward to helping you when requested.

Many religions believe in Angels - Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism,

Buddhism and Islam all have their Angels and hierarchy.  Although I acknowledge the angels
from all the religions, the focus of this site is on the Judeo-Christian Angels.

The sources of the angels used in Kabbalah and ceremonial magic are primarily Jewish. The
canonical Old Testament books mention only Michael and Gabriel, but apocryphal and
Talmudic literature provide richer sources, and there is a suspicion that this was a result of
contact with Zoroastrianism during the period of the Babylonian Exile (6th-5th centuries
BC). However as we can see, almost all the religions of the old and new world have kind of
angel Gods forms, it can point that, many people from all over the world had unique contact
and experience with angels, there for they have so many deferent names, yet they can present
the same spiritual entities. In next chapters I present some angels examples from all over the
world, during deferent times in the human history.

The word "angel" is derived from the Christian Latin "angelos", itself derived from the Greek
"aggelos", which is a translation of the Hebrew word "mal-ach", (a messenger or worker of
God).

Angels are typically found in groups, reflecting their role in mediating the divine influence.

For example, in Zorastrianism there was a belief in the AmeshaSpentas, seven holy or
bounteous immortals who were functional aspects ofAhura Mazda, the Wise Lord.

 
Angels in Zoroastrianism
The image of angels as we understand them in Western Christian society had probebly some
of their origins in the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion during
the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AC) and was the most powerful world religion at the
time of Jesus Christ.  It is one of the oldest monotheist religions and you can still find it being
practiced today, especially in Iran and India.  Zoroastrianism recognizes various classes of
spiritual beings besides the Supreme Being (Ahura Mazda): The Amesha Spentas, Yazatas,
and Fravashis. In practice (cf. Sad Dar, chapter 26), Zoroastrians pick a patron angel for their
protection, and throughout their lives are careful to observe prayers dedicated to that angel.

Amesha Spentas (Phl. Amahraspandan) ("Archangels")

Literally, "Beneficent Immortals", these are the highest spiritual beings created by Ahura
Mazda (thier name for say God). Their names are:

         Vohu Mano (Phl. Vohuman): lit. Good Mind. Presides over cattle.

         Asha
Vahishta (Phl. Ardwahisht): lit. Highest Asha, the Amahraspand
presiding over Asha and fire.

         Khshathra
Vairya (Phl. Shahrewar): lit. 'Desirable Dominion', the
Amahraspand presiding over metals.

         Spenta
Armaiti (Phl. Spandarmad): lit. 'Holy Devotion', the Amahraspand
presiding over the earth

         Haurvatat (Phl. Hordad): lit. 'Perfection or Health'. Presides over water.

         Ameretat (Phl. Amurdad): lit. 'Immortality', the Amahraspand presiding over
the Earth.

Fravashis (Phl. Farohars) ("Guardian Angels"):

Also known as Arda Fravash ("Holy Guardian Angels"). Each person is accompanied by a
guardian angel (Y26.4, 55.1), which acts as a guide throughout life. They originally patrolled
the boundaries of the ramparts of heaven (Bd6.3, Zs5.2), but volunteer to descend to earth to
stand by individuals to the end of their days. Ahura Mazda advises Zarathushtra to invoke
them for help whenever he finds himself in danger (Yt13.19-20). If not for their guardianship,
animals and people could not have continued to exist, because the wicked Druj would have
destroyed them all (Yt13.12-13).

The Fravashi also serves as an ideal which the soul has to strive for and emulate, and
ultimately becomes one with after death (Y16.7, 26.7, 26.11, 71.23, Yt22.39) (See Dhalla,
History of Zoroastrianism, pg 232-243, 375-378)

They manifest the energy of God, and preserve order in the creation. They are said to fly like
winged birds, and are represented by a winged disk, often with a person superimposed (as in
the above representation). Yazatas (Phl. Yazads) ("Angels"):

Sasanian angel and heart (8th ce. C.E.)

Lit 'adorable ones', a created spiritual being, worthy of being honored or praised. Like the
Amesha Spentas they personify abstract ideas and virtues, or concrete objects of nature. The
Yazatas are ever trying to help people, and protect us from evil (cf. Dk3, ch. 66). See below
for some specifics of the more important Yazatas.

 
Angels in the Buddhism

The Buddhist equivalent of angels is devas, or celestial beings. Some schools of Buddhism
also refer to dharmapalas or dharma protectors. In Tibetan Buddhism, for instance, devas are
sometimes considered to be emanations of bodhisattvas or enlightened beings. Different
schools of Buddhism have different important devas, as they are often derived from pre-
Buddhist cultures and religions and not from Buddhist philosophy.

Devas are spiritual beings by nature--their form is usually described as bodies or emanations
of light or energy. They are, however, often depicted in physical form, and there are many
images of devas or dharmapalas, particularly in Tibetan Buddhist iconography.

Devas normally do not interfere in human affairs, but as Buddhist teacher Lama Surya Das
notes, they have been known to rejoice, applaud, and rain down flowers for good deeds
performed in the world. In Thailand, it is believed that devas approve of people meditating
and will harass people of whose behavior they don't approve.

The bodhisattva of compassion, known as Kwan Yin in Chinese and Chenrezig in Tibetan, is
widely viewed as a sort of Buddhist angel. The bodhisattva's original Sanskrit name,
Avolokiteshvara, means "hearer of the 10,000 cries"--that is, he or she (the bodhisattva is
male in the original Buddhist texts, but is represented as female in many Buddhist schools)
perceives the suffering of all sentient beings. In some sects, reciting her name is believed to
summon her aid.

Kwan-Yin

Angels in the Hinduism

While not specifically referred to as angels, Hinduism does have many different types of
spirit beings who act in a similar capacity. One example is the minor gods, or devas, literally
"shining ones," who inhabit the higher astral plane. Gods, devas, planets like Sani (Saturn),
gurus (teachers), and ancestors can all play a protective role for humans. Also present in
Hinduism are asuras, evil spirits or demons. They are fallen devas who inhabit the lower
astral plane, the mental plane of existence. If asuras do good, they can be reincarnated into
devas and do not have to remain eternally in the lower plane. Hinduism also includes apsaras,
who are heavenly nymphs, angiris, who preside over sacrifices, and lipika, who regulate
karma.

Devas and apsaras are spiritual beings, but they are often depicted in physical form. Apsaras
are seductively beautiful and the devas often look like royalty, stately and handsome.

Devas and asuras can inspire or bring down aspirants, helping or hindering people's spiritual
journey.

According to traditional Indian Hinduism medicine, Chakra is a concept referring to wheel-
like vortices which, are believed to exist in the surface of our body. The Chakras are said to
be force centers or whorls of energy permeating, from a point on the physical body, the layers
of the subtle bodies in an ever-increasing fan-shaped formation (the fans make the shape of a
love heart). Rotating vortices of subtle matter, they are considered the focal points for the
reception and transmission of  spiritual energies. Seven major chakras or energy centers, also
understood as wheels of lights ( angels ),  are generally believed to exist, located within the
subtle body. Practitioners of Hinduism believe the chakras interact with the body's ductless
endocrine glands and lymphatic system by feeding in good bio-energies and disposing of
unwanted bio-energies.

Much of the original information on Chakras comes from the Upanishads, which are difficult
to date because they are believed to have been passed down orally for approximately a
thousand years before being written down for the first time between 1200-900 BCE

In Hinduism, the concept of chakras is part of a complex of ideas related to esoteric anatomy.
These ideas occur most often in the class of texts that are called  Agamas or Tantras . This is
a large body of scriptures. There are many variations on these concepts in the Sanskrit source
texts. In earlier texts there are various systems of chakras and nadis , with varying
connections between them. Various traditional sources list 5, 6, 7, or 8 chakras. Over time,
one system of 6 or 7 chakras along the body's axis became the dominant model, adopted by
most schools of yoga . This particular system may have originated in about the 11th century
AD, and rapidly became widely popular.It is in this model where Kundalini is said to "rise"
upward, piercing the various centers until reaching the crown of the head, resulting in union
with the Divine
Here is a description of the seven primary chakras and how its connected to the
kabalistic and Christian angelic system

Muladhara: Base or Root Chakra (last bone in spinal cord -coccyx) serve for
communication with the "Angels" from the "Yesod" Sphira - Foundation/ wholly
remembering/ coherent knowledge

Swadhisthana: Sacral Chakra (ovaries/prostate) serve for communicate with the

"Principalities" from the "Netzach" Sphira  - Contemplation/ Initiative/ persistence

Manipura: Solar Plexus Chakra (navel area) serve for communicate with the
"Archangels" from the "Hod" Sphira  - Surrender/ sincerity/ steadfastness

Anahata: Heart Chakra (heart area) serve for communicate with the "Powers" in the
"Tipheret" Sphira - Symmetry/ balance/ compassion

Vishuddha: Throat Chakra (throat and neck area) serve for communicate with the
"Dominions" from the Chesed Sphira  - Mercy/ Grace/ Love of (intention to emulate)
God and for communicate with the "Virtues" from the "Gevurah" Sphira  - Judgment/
strength/ determination

Ajna: Brow or Third Eye Chakra (pineal gland or third eye) serve for communication
with the Cherubim from "Chokmah" Sphira  the Divine Reality/revelation and also for
communicate with the "Thrones" in the dimension of "Binah" - Understanding/
repentance/ reason

Sahasrara: Crown Chakra (Top of the head; 'Soft spot' of a newborn) serve for
communication with the "Seraphim" from the "Katter" Sphira  - Crown Divine Plan/
Creator

 
 Angels in the Islam

Belief in angels is one of the six pillars of the Islam belief or faith without which there is no
faith. Whoever does not believe in any of these pillars is not a believer (mu'min). These
pillars are belief in: Allaah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and that
predestination, both good and bad, comes from Allaah.

Angels are a part of the world of the Unseen which we cannot comprehend. Allah has told us
about them in many places in the Qur'aan and via His Prophet Muhammad. There follows a
number of proven reports concerning the angels, which hopefully will make you realize the
greatness of the Creator and the greatness of this religion which has told us so much about
them:

Angels_Jibril_cleaning_Muhamed
Of what are they created?
They are created from light, as 'Aa'ishah reported: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The angels
are created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire and mankind is created
from what you have been told about.'" (Reported by Muslim, no. 2996).

They have wings.

Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Praise be to Allaah, Who created (out of nothing)
the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings - two, or three, or
four (pairs) adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things." [Faatir 35:1]

Their differences in size and status.

The angels are not all of one size or status; there are differences between them just as there
are differences in virtue. The best of them are those that were present at the battle of Badr, as
is stated in the hadeeth narrated by Mu'aadh ibn Rifaa'ah al-Zuraaqi from his father, who had
been one of the people present at Badr. He said: "Jibreel came to the Prophet and asked, 'How
do you rate the people among you who were present at Badr?' He said: 'They are the best of
the Muslims,' or something similar. [Jibreel] said: 'So it is with the angels who were present
at Badr.'" (Reported by al-Bukhaari, no. 3992).

They do not eat or drink.

This is indicated by the conversation between Ibraaheem, the "friend" of Allaah and the
angels who visited him. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "Then he turned quickly
to his household, brought out a fatted calf, and placed it before them. He said, 'Will you not
eat?' (When they did not eat), he conceived a fear of them. They said: 'Fear not,' and they
gave him glad tidings of a son endowed with knowledge." [al-Dhaariyaat 51:26-28]

Their number.
The angels are many, and their number is known only to Allah. The Prophet said, described
the Much-Frequented House (al-Bayt al-Ma'moor) in the seventh heaven: "Then I was taken
up to the Much-Frequented House: every day seventy thousand angels visit it and leave,
never returning to it again, another [group] coming after them." (Reported by al-Bukhaari,
Fath, no. 3207).

Their names
The angels have names, but we know only the names of a few of them. We have to believe in
the names reported in the Qur'aan and Sunnah texts, as a part of general belief in the angels.
Among the names of angels that are known to us are:

In Islam four angels are well known: Jibril(Gabriel), the angel of revelation; Mikal (Michael),
the angel of nature; Izrail (Azrael), the angel of death, and Israfil, the angel who places the
soul in the body and sounds the last judgement.

Angels in Christianity
Angels were embraced by Christianity like no religion before it, Throughout the Bible we
find it repeatedly implied that each individual soul has its tutelary angel. Thus Abraham,
when sending his steward to seek a wife for Isaac, says: "He will send His angel before thee"
(Genesis 24:7). The words of the ninetieth Psalm which the devil quoted to our Lord (Matt.,
iv, 6) are well known, and Judith accounts for her heroic deed by saying: "As the Lord liveth,
His angel hath been my keeper" (xiii, 20). These passages and many like them (Gen., xvi, 6-
32; Osee, xii, 4; III K., xix, 5; Acts, xii, 7; Ps., xxxiii, 8), though they will not of themselves
demonstrate the doctrine that every individual has his appointed guardian angel, receive their
complement in our Saviour's words: "See that you despise not on of these little ones; for I say
to you that their angels in Heaven always see the face of My Father Who is in Heaven" (Matt,
xviii, 10), words which illustrate the remark of St. Augustine: "What lies hidden in the Old
Testament, is made manifest in the New". Indeed, the book of Tobias seems intended to teach
this truth more than any other, and St. Jerome in his commentary on the above words of our
Lord says: "The dignity of a soul is so great, that each has a guardian angel from its birth."
The general doctrine that the angels are our appointed guardians is considered to be a point of
faith, but that each individual member of the human race has his own individual guardian
angel is not of faith (de fide); the view has, however, such strong support from the Doctors of
the Church that it would be rash to deny it (cf. St. Jerome, supra). Peter the Lombard
(Sentences, lib. II, dist. xi) was inclined to think that one angel had charge of several
individual human beings. St. Bernard's beautiful homilies (11-14) on the ninetieth Psalm
breathe the spirit of the Church without however deciding the question. The Bible represents
the angels not only as our guardians, but also as actually interceding for us. "The angel
Raphael (Tob., xii, 12) says: "I offered thy prayer to the Lord" (cf. Job, v, 1 (Septuagint), and
33:23 (Vulgate); Apocalypse 8:4). The Catholic cult of the angels is thus thoroughly
scriptural. Perhaps the earliest explicit declaration of it is to be found in St. Ambrose's words:
"We should pray to the angels who are given to us as guardians" (De Viduis, ix); (cf. St.
Aug., Contra Faustum, xx, 21). An undue cult of angels was reprobated by St. Paul (Col., ii,
18), and that such a tendency long remained in the same district is evidenced by Canon 35 of
the Synod of Laodicea.

The love of angels came from the people and not the church fathers. In the middle Ages,
there was an "Angel mania" with countless sightings of angels and saints.  At this time there
was a great acceptance of the idea of “visions”, especially in England and France. People
obsessed by angels would have countless visions of angels appearing to them and giving
them advice.  But people soon became disillusioned by all the sightings along with the false
sightings reported.

Today in the Christian countries of the West, people are again becoming more conscious of
angels.  They are exploring their spirituality and questioning beliefs they were raised with. 
They are turning to a more loving and accepting concept of religion and the thought of a
"Higher Being" or "Light" that watches over us all, regardless of religion or beliefs.

Dionysius Hierarchy of Angels

Nine Celestial Orders of Angels
 
First order:  Closest in order to God
Seraphims The guardians before God's throne, referred to as "the fiery spirits",
they are usually pictured with six wings and flames.  They constantly
Keter - Crown Divine sing God's praise and regulate heaven.  They are colored a flaming
Plan/ Creator red and gold to symbolize fire.  God's grace flows through the
seraphim to the angels below, dispelling darkness and purifying the
universe.  It was from this order that Satan emerged.  Before his fall
from Grace, he was considered the angel who outshone all others. 
Seraphim's are the highest order of angels.      
Cherubims Gods record keepers and guardians of God's glory.  Over the years
Cherubims have undergone radical transformations from the
Chokmah - Assyrian leonine-monster guardian to the winged creature of the Old
Testament to a chubby baby with blue wings which appeared in the
Divine Reality/revelation 1600s.  Originally, Cherubims were depicted with multi-eyed
peacock's feathers to symbolize their all-knowing character.  The
 first angels mentioned in the bible, God placed the Cherubim at the
east of the Garden of Eden to guard the way to the Tree of Life. 
They are the charioteers of God and bearers of his throne. 
Thrones Referred to as "the many eyed ones",  portrayed as winged wheels
within wheels, whose rims were covered in eyes.  They support the
Binah - Understanding/ Throne of God and consider how God's decisions should be
repentance/ reason manifested.  Their mission is to bring judgment for individual karma
and society as a whole. 
 
Second order:  Priest-Princes of the court of heaven
Dominions These are the Angels who bring you the teachings of intuition. 
Through them the majesty of God is manifested.  They carry scepter
Chesed - Mercy/ Grace/ and sword to symbolize the given power over all creation and decide
Love of (intention to what needs to be done to accomplish God's needs and regulate the
emulate) God duties of angels to ensure the universe keeps working as it should. 
They appear in human shape, wearing a triple crown to signify their
position over the physical form.  They can be seen carrying a scepter,
holding a cross and/or a sword to symbolize the balance between the
active and passive forces. 
Virtues Drawing on God's force to work miracles on earth, the "brilliant" or
"shining ones" are the angels of miracles, encouragement and
Gevurah - Judgment/ blessings.  Virtues are the ones who become involved whenever
strength/ determination people are struggling with their faith.  They have four blue feathered
wings and war sparkling armor.  They can often be seen with a
scepter, axe spear, sword and/or a shield for protection.  But each of
these "tools" are decorated with instruments of passion.  They work
hand-in-hand with the Thrones to bestow grace and rewards on those
who have overcome deeds in their physical lives.
Powers First order of angels created by God, it is the job of the Powers to
prevent the fallen angels from taking over the world and keep the
Tipheret - Symmetry/ universe in balance.  They also bring the power of intellect in such
balance/ compassion matters as math, geometry, astronomy and so on, making them the
professors and educators.
 
Third order: The Ministering Angels
Principalities The protectors of religions, guardian angels of cities, nations, rulers. 
They keep watch over nations and attempt to inspire their leaders to
Netzach - Contemplation/ make wise decisions.  Often depicted wearing soldier's garb and
Initiative/ persistence sandals, they are seen in human form.  They provide strength to the
tribes of Earth to pursue and endure their faith. 
Archangels The "chief-angels", they carry God's messages to humans and
command God's armies of angels in constant battle with the "Sons of
Hod - Surrender/ Darkness".  They look after the affairs of humankind and act as
sincerity/ steadfastness guardian angels to leaders of world movements.  These are the
Angels who stand around God's throne, ready to carry out the divine
and most important decrees to humans.   According to the book of
Revelation, there are seven archangels who stand in the presence of
God, but only four are mentioned in the Old Testament,  Michael,
Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel.  The identity of the other three is subject
 to debate.  The three recognized in the Judeo-Christian belief are
Raguel, Jophiel and Chamuel.  Other possible candidates are Ariel,
Azrael, Camael, Haniel, Jeremiel, Metetron, Raziel, Sandalphon and
Zadkiel. 
Angels Celestial beings closest to humans, Angels are the intermediaries
between God and mortals.  Assigned by God to every human being
Yesod - Foundation/ at the time of his or her birth, they assist every aspect of life in the
wholly remembering/ universe.  They deal with the aspects of everyday life and act as the
coherent knowledge direct gateway for information, knowledge and communications
between human kind and the God force.  These angels are seen with
human bodies, wings and clothed in various garments depending on
the traditions and visual acceptance of the human they have "been
assigned to".  In reality, Angels do not have human bodies, wings or
clothing, they are made up of energy and love.  The only thing
Angels do not help humans do is destroy themselves, the planet and
other human beings, they are always a force for all that is positive,
good and true.

Angels in Judaism
 

The Bible uses various terms for angels, including:

* "MALACHIM" - GOD Messengers
* ministers
* heavenly hosts or the hosts of heaven
* the armies of heaven
* fallen angels are also called demons

Differently from other religious forms, the Jews are forbidden to create any image of god/s,
there for the Jews are using the Hebrew letters from the bible, for presenting God.
From the description in the bible of how to build the Ark is in Exodus 25:10-22,
"And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. Make one cherub on
one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover,
at the two ends. The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the
cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other. Looking toward the cover."

We can imagine how the Cherubim on the ark looked like

 The Ark Of Covenant

According to the earliest known book on Jewish mysticism, The Sefer Yetzirah (The Book of Creation),
written more than fifteen centuries ago, God formed the entire universe through speaking aloud the twenty-
two letters. Out of the nothingness of silence, with the vibration of God's cosmic utterances, all things
spring to life. "God said, 'Let there be light.' And there was light."

The Hebrew word for letter, is OT, also means sign or wonder or miracle. For thousands of years, Jewish
sages have taught that the letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the Aleph Beit, embody wonderful and
miraculous powers.

" The Meru Project has discovered an extraordinary and unexpected geometric metaphor in the letter-
sequence of the Hebrew text of Genesis that underlies and is held in common by the spiritual traditions of
the ancient world. This metaphor models embryonic growth and self-organization. It applies to all whole
systems, including those as seemingly diverse as meditational practices and the mathematics fundamental
to physics and cosmology... Meru Project findings demonstrate that the relationship between physical
theory and consciousness, expressed in explicit geometric metaphor, was understood and developed
several thousand years ago."

As Stan Tenen, a physicist and Director of the Meru Foundation wrote:

"the Hebrew Bible is arranged similarly to a hologram: the first letter contains the whole, the first word
expands on the first letter, the first sentence upon the first word, etc. "It's very much like what our
scientists do," he says. "We include information with messages sent to outer space that explains how to
decode the entire message-that's also how compression programs work on computers." He also believes
the Hebrew Bible contains a function similar to the mathematical purpose of pi, and links consciousness
and physicality the way pi links the radius and circumference of a circle: "Our radius is our physicality
and the circumference is our life, our emotions," he says. "The ancient Hebrew alphabet is far more than a
tool for everyday communication or the transmission of sacred texts; the letter forms themselves have
intrinsic geometric and mathematical properties that point us to a profound knowledge of life and the
nature of human consciousness." Tenen feels there are principles of law and order in the relationship
between humans and the cosmos that, up till now, only Pythagoreans and Kabbalists have suspected.
"What I've found," says Tenen, "is that these principles correspond to the numerical patterns of some of
the basic geometrical forms found in the physical world. For example, the double helix, which is the form
of the DNA molecule."

The letters of the Aleph Beit, as the manifestations of God's speech, are therefore the energetic and
vibrational building blocks of creation. They are analogous to physical elements. Just as, for example, an
atom of oxygen gas unites with two atoms of hydrogen gas to form a molecule of water, so does one letter
combine with another to create new entities. Rabbi Marcia Prager writes, "This perception of Hebrew
words and letters as the constituent spiritual elements of existence guide most Jewish mystical teaching."

The thirteenth century kabalist, Rabbi Abraham Abulafia, advised students to concentrate on the letters "in
all their aspects, like a person who is told a parable, or a riddle, or a dream, or as one who ponders a book
of wisdom in a subject so profound...." Ponder the answer to your question as you would a riddle or a
dream.

In your imagination, become the letter. You are not just someone who "chose, for example, the letter Dalet
(‫) ד‬, which means "door," you are the door itself, opening up. You are not just a human who happened to
pick Gimmel ( ִּ‫ ) ג‬, the symbol of the camel, you are the camel, making your way steadily through a desert.
You are not just a person who is reading about Nun (  ‫) נ‬, the energy of "fish," you are the fish itself,
swimming through the ever-changing waters of life. Experience the letters in this way and they will speak
to you more intimately. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel has written, "The ultimate way is not to have a
symbol but to be a symbol, to stand for the divine."

Another way to use the letters is to select one and then meditate upon it, carefully tracing its shape in your
mind's eye and seeing what thoughts, images, feelings, or inspirations come. Jewish kabalists describe the
black letters on the white page of the Torah as "black fire on white fire." Visualize the letters in this fiery
way and they come to life with vibrant energy. After doing this, you may choose to refer to the text to see
how the ideas there correspond with your own discoveries, or you may simply be content with the fruits of
your own meditation.

You can see example of such meditation in what's named the "Ana Becoach" or the "42 names" prayer; By
the Kabalah this prayer can take you to upper spiritual worlds with the help of the angels, the Book of
Zohar explain that the words of this prayer are as angels wings, this prayer assemble from 7 deferent
prayers (here you can see the first one) that present 7 angels, each with 6 wings, in 3 pairs each per
represented in the prayer in 2 pairs of words. You can see modern way for meditation upon this prayer here
"Ana Becoach".

 
Early Kabalist practitioners reported that after periods of meditating upon the Hebrew alphabet, the letters
came to life and began talking. Others said they saw the letters grow wings and fly from the surface of
the page. Even if your experience is less dramatic, perhaps the letters will speak quietly to you.

According to Jewish tradition the ancient Kabalist, Rabbi Shimon bar Yokhai writes in the
Zohar that it was Moses, not God, who parted the Red Sea allowing the Jews to narrowly
escape Pharaoh and the Egyptian army. Moses had a special formula. The formula that he
used to overcome the laws of nature was hidden in the Zohar for 2,000 years.

This formula is called the 72 Names of God. The 72 Names are not really names, as human
names are. The 72 Names are 72 three-letter sequences composed of Hebrew letters that have
the extraordinary power to overcome the laws of both mother and human nature. These 72
sequences are actually encoded into the Bible story that tells of the parting of the Red Sea as
described at Exodus 14:19-21. They are like conduits that transmit various blends of energy
from the Light into our physical world. By using the power of the 72 Names and overcoming
their reactive natures, Moses and the Jews were able to accomplish the miracle of the Red
Sea.

The shapes, sounds, sequences, and vibrations of the 72 names radiate a wide range of energy
forces. The Light they emit purifies our hearts. Their spiritual influence cleanses destructive
impulses from our natures. Their sacred energy removes rash and intolerant emotions, fear,
and anxiety from our beings. The Hebrew letters are instruments of power. In fact, the
Hebrew word for “letter” actually means pulse or vibration, indicating a flow of energy. The
Hebrew alphabet transcends religion, race, geography, and the very concept of language. The
three letters signify three spiritual forces—a positive charge, a negative charge, and a ground
wire—to create a circuit of energy.

The 72 names are derived from Exodus 14:19-21, which in the original Hebrew have 72 letters each. The
original Hebrew text is:

 
  

So this setup create the 72 Names with Vowel Points (The Vowel Points here created from the way each
letter preannounce alone)

THE 72 NAMES OF GOD

 

And the KJV version is as following - Exodus 14:19-21

19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the
pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: 20 And it came between the camp
of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night
to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the
sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry
land, and the waters were divided.

The names are derived by writing the letters of the three verses one above the other, with no vowel points,
spaces, or punctuation marks, the first from right to left, the second from left to right, and the third from
right to left. The names are then read top down.

Additions -El  (  ‫ ) אֵל‬and –Yah (‫ י ָה‬ ) to the names create the names of the 72 Angels or as the kabalist call
them Geniis.

The combination of the principle of five with the principle of trinity now applies to the 72 Genii or Names
or angels of God. These 72 Names are composed in the original Hebrew Kabbalah of three letters, to
which either the power attribute -el or -iah is added, to create a five-lettered Name of God. Thinking in the
terms of Bardon's system we could assume (speculatively), that El (God power) is a representation of the
electric fluid and -iah (God mercy) represents the magnetic fluid, adding the two fundamental powers to
the qualities of each single name. One further indication that this concept could be true is that the Bahir
(see paragraph 8 of the Bahir and Kaplan's commentary) states, that the letter "He" at the end of a word
means the feminine quality of this thing, so we could say that the Yod of -yah reflects God (represented by
a single point: Yod) in his feminine aspect (represented by He at the end of the word). Additionally He
represents the concept of holding. Both concepts parallel very well the concept of the magnetic fluid.
 From Francis Barrett, The Magus of Celestial Intelligencer,
muddled version of the Cabbalistic philosophy published in London 1801,
magical permutations of letters registering the names of the angels.

(Note: there exist also completely different interpretations of the two additions -El and -Yah as this one
presented by Agrippa; cf. for example Aryeh Kaplan, Sepher Yetzirah; or the standard correspondences of
the Sefirot and the Names of God where "El" is attributed to Chesed-Love and "Yah" to Chakmah-
Wisdom.)

There is a problem with the way one have to pronounce the names as in Hebrew there are Vowel
Points instead of letters for the preannounce the word, another problem came from the fact that
there are some letters that aren't exist in Latin or English. This fact is the cause of many way in
writing the names in other languages than Hebrew !

In Athanasius Kircher's Oedipus Aegyptiacus there's a table of the 72 names and an appropriate verse from
the book of Psalms for each of them, except for the 70th name, which is given the first verse from Genesis.
The 70th name is given the first verse from Genesis, which does not contain the 4 letters name of God, but
does contain the three letters of the 70th name.

Oedipus Aegyptiacus - the first 5 names of God and an appropriate verse from the book of Psalms
The logic behind the match is as following - each name is given a verse which contains the 4 letters name
of God ‫( י ְהוָה‬YHVH) as well as the three letters of the name itself. If the name contains ‫ ָו‬, ‫ ה‬, ‫( י‬Yod, Heh,
or Vav), they must appear somewhere beside the 4 letter name.

 
By arranging the four letters of the Great Name, (Y H V H), in the form of the Pythagorean Tetractys, the 72
powers of the Great Name of God are manifested.
