Angels came into being with the first light of God, as a natural expansion of God's love. Angels awoke in wonder, taking absolute delight in their own beauty. As they beheld their own wonder, instantly they turned towards God, and the light was in them and on them, and their radiance reflected the face of God. And angels were content, for they never thought to question the perfection of God's creation.
Angels knew eternity in the moment, but they knew not of time, for before time, angels were. There were no planets or stars, only God, and God’s angels singing the praises of God. A heavenly dance of angels whirled and shimmered in perfect joy, knowing no separation from the Light.
Perhaps the dance continued in this way for eons, perhaps for moments. Who was to know? Who was to care? In absolute adoration, there is no time, there is no one, there is only now, only One, only God's love dancing the dance of adoration in the pure and perfect form of angels.
God's love continued to burst forth forming stars, moons, and planets—among them the living sphere called earth. Oceans moved across the face of the earth and life evolved from her waters. And always there were angels, delighting in the manifestation. When trees and plants grew like miracles from the ground, the angels lovingly released small energies—bits and pieces of themselves—as guardians of nature. These became the “lesser” angels or nature spirits—those energies which work in harmony with all of nature. The lesser angels, though there was nothing less about them since they were of the divine effulgence of God, became totally devoted to the care of growing things, and plant life flourished.
Now everything on earth was in balance and there was peace because there was no one to question creation. Earth was full of her children: the plants, flowers, and trees. Life filled her seas and animals roamed her surface. The plants and animals knew of warmth and cold, dark and light, but they knew not of God—so there was no one to see the fullness of earth, no one to experience its emptiness, no one to turn either away from or towards God.
Existence continued in this way for a long time, though there was no one to judge its length. And the greater angels left earth to the lesser angels and danced among the stars, singing the praises of God.
Within the perfect will of God it came to pass that the greater angels became still—for they felt a great stirring within, an awareness of something new, something yet to be, something within, yet without their being. For the first time, angels wondered. In this wonder, they turned to each other and moved as one into a deep stillness, like butterflies waiting to be born.
When they awoke from this meditation, there was no confusion, only knowing. Without hesitation, the angels moved joyfully towards earth, filled with new purpose. This time they did not send bits and pieces of themselves, as they had when the lesser angels came into being. They, themselves, came to assist the newly evolved species that belonged to the small blue planet called earth. Thus it was that the greater angels entered the human realm as Guardians, Protectors, and Messengers of Light!

Can you imagine a love so vast, so great, so incomprehensible? How could angels not arise as part of creation? How could the love of God not create angels to adore and worship God and creation?
Certain mysteries are beyond the mind. Who can explain the beginning of beginning? Such mysteries we leave for scientists. Angels, as you know by now, are interested in the heart of the matter, whatever that matter is. Nothing has become everything—nothing matters! The heart of the matter is the nothingness from which everything springs. This Nothingness is beyond the mind. It is the great Emptiness, the Fullness, also called the Void. The mind seeks to understand its own nature, yet in Understanding, the mind dissolves—into itself, into God, like a drop of water returning to the sea.
