Manly P. Hall on the Guardian Angel and the Solar Angels

Manly P. Hall spoke often about the Spiritual Hierarchies and the guardian angel. He described angels as messengers from heaven who relay important spiritual information to humanity, as well as beings who perform key tasks in the evolution of mankind. He also explained that every human being has a personal angel who is present from birth and guides the individual throughout life.

The purpose of this personal angel, beyond general guidance and protection, is ultimately to raise the individual to its own level, to a higher condition of being. This occurs through the imparting of impulses and feelings within the person toward morality, love, and brotherhood. The more the individual consciously chooses this path, the more they become like their angel, and the more exalted they become. In this way, the purpose of the angel is not only guidance and protection, but to actually raise the individual’s station, to initiate them into a higher condition.

In 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵 𝘛𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘴, Hall describes the true form of angels as resembling brilliant spheres of plasma, blazing like the sun.

“The Rosicrucians and the Illuminati, describing the angels, archangels, and other celestial creatures, declared that they resembled small suns, being centers of radiant energy surrounded by streamers of Vrilic force. From these outpouring streamers of force is derived the popular belief that angels have wings. These wings are corona-like fans of light, by means of which the celestial creatures propel themselves through the subtle essences of the superphysical worlds.”

Hall also speaks of a very high order of angels who originate in the sun, known as the Solar Angels. He describes them as brilliant, radiant orbs.

“Some secret orders have taught that the sun was inhabited by a race of creatures with bodies composed of a radiant, spiritual ether not unlike in its constituency the actual glowing ball of the sun itself. The solar heat had no harmful effect upon them, because their organisms were sufficiently refined and sensitized to harmonize with the sun’s tremendous vibratory rate. These creatures resemble miniature suns, being a little larger than a dinner plate in size, although some of the more powerful are considerably larger. Their color is the golden white light of the sun, and from them emanate four streamers of Vril. These streamers are often of great length and are in constant motion. A peculiar palpitation is to be noted throughout the structure of the globe and is communicated in the form of ripples to the emanating streamers. The greatest and most luminous of these spheres is the Archangel Michael; and the entire order of solar life, which resemble him and dwell upon the sun, are called by modern Christians “the archangels” or “the spirits of the light.”

According to Hall, the Spiritual Hierarchies emerged from the Father in the beginning as light. The celestial bodies delineate the various orders of angels within these hierarchies, and humanity operates within them, just as all beings operate within God.

“The Supreme Intellect, through its Paternal Foundation, first created light – the angelic world. Out of that light were then created the invisible hierarchies of beings which some call the stars; and out of the stars the four elements and the sensible world were formed. Thus all are in all, after their respective kinds. All visible bodies or elements are in the invisible stars or spiritual elements, and the stars are likewise in those bodies; the stars are in the angels and the angels in the stars; the angels are in God and God is in all. Therefore, all are divinely in the Divine, angelically in the angels, and corporeally in the corporeal world, and vice versa. just as the seed is the tree folded up, so the world is God unfolded.”
