INNER WORK
A Biological Parallel
Increasing the connectivity of our species on the subtle-energy level, and collectively generating and harnessing the subtle-energies of love, gratitude and eventually rejoicing, is a real energy phenomenon. There is a biological parallel to this emerging human meta-capacity and function. Within the nucleus of each cell in your body are mitochondrial cells. The mitochondria have their own DNA and are the 'energy powerhouses" of the cell, and collectively - of our physical organisms. They produce the biophysical energy we need to survive. As we begin to enter the next stage of our evolutionary journey, we will become the 'subtle-energy powerhouses' of Mother Earth, collectively generating and harnessing these subtle-energies for the good of our planet and all Earth creation. Even a handful of people doing the planetization inner work have a harmonizing influence in our Collective Consciousness Field. It moves foreward the process of coherence and phase entrainment which will eventually bring into being "the ultra-human lying ahead in time" which Teilhard de Chardin foresaw.
Rejoicing
We're all at least a little familiar with the range of energy frequencies that have long been known to science. These energies vibrate at differing rates from gamma rays at one end, to X-rays at the other end of the spectrum. Falling somewhere in the middle of this scale is the visible light range which is composed of colors which vibrate at rates the human eye can perceive. Bees can perceive color into the ultra violet range wavelength, but we can only see wavelengths of color that are sandwiched between the vibratory rates of infra red and ultra violet. So too, when it comes to the vibratory rates of emotion. The vibratory rates our species maintains, for the most part (with rare exceptions) fall within a certain limited spectrum of available energies. More spiritual beings, such as angels, vibrate at a higher frequency because they embody an emotional spectrum higher, and more sublime than ours.
We're all familiar with the commonplace depictions of angels as loving, compassionate, joyful beings who are of service to aid, inspire, guide, rescue and help in many diverse ways. There are many anecdotal accounts throughout history of humans who've been assisted by angelic intercessions of one kind or another. These angel/human interactions are marginalized, diminished in importance or even disbelieved in our current worldview. But even in our nmundane symbolic depictions of them, hints of the truth of their essence can emerge. For instance, angels are depicted with wings. They may choose to manifest this way in order to be recognized, but on a deeper level, their wings also symbolize their higher vantage point on human affairs. Their perspective is higher than ours. They can see 'the overall design of things'. It isn't a higher vantage point like we could acheive by looking out the window of an airplane, or from a mountaintop. It's a higher vantage point of the unseen connections between things with spiritual significance.
Another common depiction seen on many Christmas cards is angels playing a trumpet or harp, or the word "Rejoice" written on the card as if the angels on the card are encouraging us to do so. Why are angels often associated with making music? It's because music (organized sound waves) is vibratory in essence, as are our emotions. It implies that the major activity of angels is vibratory in nature, as all life in the evolutionary process is moving from gross matter (physical) to consciousness (vibrations), which most schools of esoteric teaching agree on. This is not to say that angels can't manifest physically. They can manipulate matter and manifest physically info forms of their choosing, as angelic encounters with humans throughout history have born witness to. But they reflect the importance of generating directed, organized higher vibratory energy which is symbolized in essence by their music making.
