Q: Master, I have a question about angels. Today there are many books published about angels: guardian angels and special beings who are supposed to be here just for us so that when we have troubles and problems, we can look for a guardian angel to help us. Do you believe, Master, that there are guardian angels for this purpose? And how do we know if there is a guardian angel for us?

M: You can order one: mail-delivered, with a money-back guarantee. (Laughter) Well, I believe there are angels, what we call guardian gods, small gods or goddesses. There are two types. One is ordered from Heaven to help those who are righteous and weak and who have faith in God, with or without the Master. Those who are righteous and very virtuous have angels helping them. They do what they can do to help in different situations.

But the ones who have the Master power with them are the strongest, the fastest, and always have more power and can help in most situations. Other angels, their power is limited because they have to consider a person's karma, whether that person's worthy or not worthy. The Master power doesn't consider that. As soon as the person is a disciple, and sincerely wants to change his/her life, the Master will help anyway. And so the Master sometimes dispatches so-called angels to help people, as well as Her/His disciples. And the Master Himself/Herself helps the disciples personally, through the transformation body. That's the most powerful. Everyone has to give way when the Master is there. (Applause)

Now a second type of guardian angels are those deceased spirits who have already gone out of this world but are still in training or have a desire to help those who are still living, who have a connection with them, or maybe with their relatives or friends or pupils or those who are in the same profession they are, in order to help them further develop their talent and education from "behind the scenes." So there are two types of beings that help us: those angels who are from Heaven, and those who are deceased. There's kind of a range of angels. But those human beings who have become angels have more benefit from God.

The angels are also made with qualities that are different from human qualities. Angels can be destroyed without any problem, without any effect on the whole cosmos. Because angels don't have the eternal qualities that humans have. Therefore the angel's rank is not above that of the human being. Human beings are ranked above the angels. Angels can be made, (Master snaps Her fingers, indicating "instantly") can be destroyed, can be ordered, can be multiplied, can be minimized, but human beings never can because we're eternal. (Applause)
