[continued]

I use the term 'Angels' above (p.78)* as shorthand for the inhabitants of the Spiritual Kingdom or Realm (other than God): this category also, of course, overlaps with those above** and below it, as it may be possible for Individuals to inhabit and be active upon more than one 'level'. Nevertheless even if they should chance to inhabit a physical body in the Material World, Angels are in essence Beings of pure Spirit; as indeed are Saints, in a different fashion, to the extent that they move solely upon the Inner Circle.*** Man has, uniquely (I suspect) among created or evolved Beings, sub-created a Middle (or Mental) Zone of his own**** which is between the Material World and the Spiritual World, and touches both of them.

So I am not using 'Angels' here to mean specifically messengers#, as has been meant, or Agents; although it is arguable that any Spirit cannot help but have this function as Messenger or Agent of God, according to its own quality. It is arguable: I tend to want to use the term “Spiritual Realm” when I consider it as a plane of existence, and “Spiritual Kingdom” when I consider it as an hierarchical structure. It is likely that without the parameters of the Material World, #*Spirits are exposed to the knowledge of God which makes them God's willing Agents and Messengers – one way or another.#*
