Angels and Principalities: What do you believe?

I’m not one to
dwell on theory and specific scriptures in the bible to make a point or even to
create factual evidence for anything I believe. Humans wrote the bible,
transcribed it, and the Catholic counsel of Trent took away parts they didn’t
believe were holy. After that, it has been tampered with by men and rulers who
didn’t want certain scriptures to be found, some of it hidden in scrolls in the
Vatican, and some lost in the Dead Sea. Who knows what they all mean? However,
sometimes its interesting to look at the different religions and believes, to
see how they differ. The belief in angels and spirits is one of those places in
religions that has quite the religious spin, if you will.
In the Catholic
tradition, and perhaps some other Christian faiths believe in spiritual
principalities and dominions of angels. A bible quote says that there are
celestial beings, angels in heaven and dominions, and powers, and virtues. Even
in Wikipedia, angels and spirits are
explained in order of the first sphere being Seraphim, Cherubim, then thrones
or Orphanim. The second sphere is Dominions or Lordships, Virtues or
Strongholds, then Powers of Authority. The third and final sphere in the heavens
is said to be Principalities or Rulers, Archangels, and then angels. Most of
this theory was based on Thomas Aquinas’s book Summa Theologica, written
in the fifth century and based its studies on two books of the New Testament:
Ephesians 1:21 and Colossians 1:16.
So, by my cursory
look at this, I have been praying to the lowest of all the dominions in heaven
to help me on my path here on this earth. I always thought that angels were up
in heaven at the right hand of God. But when you study Colossians and
Ephesians, you see that many dominions and powers are said to be with God, and
some are doing the work of principalities and powers to create the negative and
hardship, as in the Book of Job in the Old Testament, when God called forth
power to smite the brilliant Job and test his will and love for God. And some
are working to aid us in our every day life.
Most people I
know believe that these spirits and angels walk with us on another spiritual
plane and guide us from tragedy, intercede on our behalf, and will actually
keep us out of harms way, should it happen out of the will of God. I know I
have had plenty of times when I should have been dead, had it not seemed like
something celestials stepped in and stopped my car or another car with in centimeters
of colliding with me. I’m sure all of you have stories like this, but not many
have answers or reasons why they simply believe something exists with us.
In my new book, Finding
Authentic You, I help you
discover for yourself what you believe through guided meditation and help
getting to the observer mind, which all have but seldom use in our awakened
state. For much more information about finding and being your authentic
self, self-love, and self-esteem, check out my new book below. “Finding
Authentic You” will answer many of the questions I propose above. The book also
has many discoveries about health, both mental and physical, as well as
spiritual discoveries to lead you to your highest and best! Thanks for being a
