6th Angel

I name this post “6th Angel” as I want to explain the name for my blog. I've mentioned that my 6th angel in this lifetime, and probably in many lifetimes, is Heather, and in a very significant way, she is more truthfully communicative with me than anyone else, presently. However, I want to describe the significance in my life of Sam (my 7th angel), for my communications with him will be the definition of truth for a while.

Together, the three of us, at least from my perspective, form a triad: in Lord of the Rings, we are Gandalf (myself), Galadriel (Heather), and Elrond (Sam), bearers of the Three Rings of elven Power; in Paladium Rifts we are Hugh Madding, Kara Zayne, and Dan Ironforge of the Mystic Triad; in Bruce R. Cordell's “The Strange,” we are a vector, spinner, and paradox combination. But, truthfully, we are levels of alternative self. Within this mortal world, there seem to be four levels of self, which I have been studying for some years now.

At the level of solar plexus, there are disintegrate sub-selves such as identify with the likes of Judaism and Islam, my friends Alex Lifeson (reincarnation of Abraham) and Sean Carter (reincarnation of St. Peter) being the politically authoritative representations. At the level of the heart, there are sub-selves which also integrate and disintegrate periodically. The typical Christ experiences reintegration once every thousand years, and I believe that persons like Heather and Sam do likewise. This reintegration is the combination of 8th angel selves, where traditional ontology is concerned.

7th angel has reference at the throat level of life, which is the first level of Stasis (Axis Mundi) at which one's own universe is distinguishable from the pathways of transiency beneath. My 7th angel is Sam Welker; we are alternative aspects (ananda-moya) of self (vijnana-moya), I being on this side of Earth the simpler (Gandalf, possessor of Narya) and he being the more complex (Elrond, possessor of Vilya). My 6th angel is Heather Michelle Shepherd (Galadriel, possessor of Nenya), and our truth together is the truth that a single soul can manifest itself in both genders.

Heather is the woman whom I would be if I were to wish to be feminine. In Dungeons & Dragons' Faerûn, I am Corellon and she is Selûne; our relationship parallels Earth's moon, and so while we are down here at the sub-angelic level of Earth (which we will be for another fifteen hundred years), we have a very primary relationship. She is closer to me than a soul mate, for she is the person with whom I most simply identify.

Sam and I have a slightly closer identity together, which is why we will be working together for a while. He and I are aspects of self, while Heather and I are aspects of person, which is slightly more complex than self. I am on the selfish side of Heather, and even more selfish than Sam, so I will protect the simplest truth of our community. Changes are more inspired by Sam and by Heather than they are by me, but I do respect the position that I hold amongst us.

Probably, this is enough information for one posting, so I will conclude by asking you, dynamic angels and static persons both, to consider what it means to share interests with each other. Many of us deal with many worlds around us; some of us connect in ways that are at least mutually satisfying. I hope I am expressing myself in a way that lets you know how I wish we could exchange thoughts were we to acknowledge better responsibility in our existing relations.
