Heavenly Life

Once again, the news cycle is promoting narratives surrounding aliens. This time, various outlets are claiming that pastors must “warn their flocks” and prepare them for what is being described as the most “ontologically shocking” revelation imaginable.The disingenuous aspects of this subject, the psychological operations, opportunism, and darker personal interests involved, have already been examined extensively, and there is little need to revisit them here. The necessary warnings and cautions have already been given.What is perhaps less understood, however, is the genuine longing many people feel to encounter life beyond our planet, to know that humanity is not alone in the universe, and to understand how the human soul relates to the greater cosmos.

These contemplations are deeply meaningful, and the desire to know the heavens (sometimes called kosmos/cosmos in esotericism) is both sincere and natural. The central issue facing us today is not that people seek these mysteries, but that spiritual realities and beings are increasingly interpreted and classified through an exclusively materialistic framework.There is no topic in the world of the soul that cannot be addressed, so long as we approach it from a humble, reverent and open place. Let’s take a look at the spiritual dynamics of the celestial bodies, the angels and humanity’s relationship to them.

When Angels Walked Amongst Humanity
In humanity’s ancient past, we interacted with angelic beings. We perceived them within the world around us and understood their direct role in human development. Different orders of angels were also associated with the planetary spheres of the solar system. The cosmos was not viewed as an infinite physical expanse, but as a series of spiritual planetary realms, each governed by a particular archangelic regent. According to this worldview, every human soul would come into contact with these planetary realms and their heavenly hosts through the processes of death and rebirth.

The angel’s relationship with the planets is often overlooked. In many esoteric traditions, Michael is regarded as the solar angel, while Gabriel is associated with the Moon. Oriphiel is linked to Saturn, and Raphael is considered the regent of Mercury. In this view, each cosmic body is represented by a particular angelic being, and humanity’s relationship with the cosmos is mediated through these spiritual beings. The spiritual activities that people attribute to ‘aliens’ in modern times belong to the angelic hierarchies.

When it comes to the human soul, or our experience with the cosmos, the planets from which these angelic beings emerge are regarded as developmental planes relative to earthly humanity. The solar system, understood as a living and spiritually dynamic organism, may be viewed as a vast school for souls, with each planetary sphere representing a distinct stage of initiation and development. In this way humanity is united with heaven, with the angels and planets.

The Supernatural, Natural and Subnatural
A useful way to classify these realities is to recognize angels as supernatural beings, humanity as natural beings, and demonic or sub-earthly entities as subnatural beings. According to this framework, all phenomena experienced by humanity arise from one of these three levels of existence. Within this perspective, nothing that manifests in reality exists outside the interplay of the supernatural, natural, and subnatural realms. The supernatural provides the guiding evolutionary impulse of an age, shaping the development of the natural world and humanity itself.

The Misclassification of Angels
The association of angels with planetary spheres has led some modern researchers to classify them as “aliens.” From this perspective, any being originating from another world and appearing on Earth is interpreted as extraterrestrial.

Many proponents of ancient alien theories attribute pivotal events in humanity’s past to extraterrestrial intervention when, in esoteric traditions, these events would instead be understood as interactions with angelic beings. Interpreting angels as aliens creates a distortion by reducing spiritual beings to material entities, reflecting a fundamentally materialist worldview.

Over the years, some researchers have abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis entirely and returned to viewing planetary beings as supernatural entities. However, their analysis often neglects the relationship between the human soul, the angelic beings, and the realms those beings embody, thereby removing the very purpose of the discussion in the first place.

The Loss of Spiritual Perception
The difficulty modern humanity experiences in understanding spiritual beings arises largely because our mode of consciousness has changed. According to esoteric traditions concerning ancient epochs such as Lemuria and Atlantis, humanity once possessed a natural clairvoyant consciousness that perceived the angelic and planetary kingdoms directly as part of our own reality.

Over time, this instinctive spiritual perception diminished in order to make way for objective knowledge, rational thought, and individual self-awareness. Researchers who promote ancient alien interpretations rarely acknowledge this evolution of consciousness. Instead, they often assume that human perception in the distant past functioned in essentially the same way it does today.

As a result of losing these innate psychic capacities, humanity’s understanding of its ancient past and the spiritual world has become obscured. Modern memory and interpretation are shaped by materialist assumptions and contemporary definitions that no longer represent the reality of our ancient past, or the angels. Modern consciousness differs fundamentally in character and, without spiritual training, struggles to properly interpret these formative periods of human development.

What we are witnessing in the disclosure movement is not merely an attempt to consolidate power by an elite few, but a symptom of a profound spiritual crisis. It reflects humanity’s confusion and uncertainty regarding heaven, the angels, and the spiritual world itself. Beneath the fascination lies a deeper longing: the desire to know the angelic beings, to understand the heavenly realms through which the soul must inevitably pass after death.The true conflict is not taking place in the skies, but within human consciousness itself, as we struggle to recover our spiritual perception and rediscover mysteries that humanity once understood instinctively.
