ANGELS, DEMONS AND ALL THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN AND EARTH M. M. NINAN _____________________________________________________________________________ Ephes. 1:21 far above every principality, power, virtue, and dominion, and every name that is named not only in this age but also in the one to come.

Greek aggelos exousion dunameon Latin angelis potestatibus virtutibus Douai angels powers virtues RSV angels authorities powers NAB angels authorities powers These seem to indicate a set of angels that control the cosmos through angelic forces. They are governors of space and the visible universe, including the earth. The Pseudo-Dionysius refers to them as the Holy Lordships, which “denotes a certain unslavish elevation, free from all groveling subserviency . . . ever aspiring to the true Lordship and source of Lordship.” Their works are power, authority, control, and leadership. However power and authority needs to be understood from the point of view of God. God do not need Power or Authority because God is Power and there is no higher authority than God. But God governs the universe with laws. As there are physical laws, there are laws that govern every dimension of existence. We normally call other dimensions as spiritual. They are intertwined together. It is here we experience forces that go beyond Physical laws, which we sometimes call as miracles. So as there are physical laws, there are also spiritual laws as 97

It is these laws that are controlled by the middle triad of angels. It is this realization by the early cultures that led to the magic to control the invisible laws by Tantra, Yantra and Mantra. By proper use of these it is possible to control the worlds for personal gains. The angels are considered as deities for specific areas of life. This is specifically emphasized in Hinduism. “The Use of Mantra A mantra is an invocation, containing a sacred syllable or set of syllables. When a mantra is uttered with specific rhythm, with sincerity of devotion and purity of thought and action, and with phonetic and grammatical accuracy, in a manner prescribed by the scriptural injunctions of the Vedas or some authoritative scripture, it is believed to invoke a particular deity and compel the deity to assist the invoker to achieve a desired end. It is interesting to note that according to Hindu beliefs, if a mantra is pronounced correctly the deity to whom it is addressed has no choice but to respond to the invoker automatically and help him. ….. The divinity awakens only if the vibrations generated by the chanting matches with its basic frequency. ….” The Secrets of Hindu Worship : The Role of Mantra, Tantra and Yantra In Hinduism: by Jayaram V 98
