Suffering - it affects only matter that is not absolutely pure

11/22/2024

An angel is an immortal creature made of matter so pure and subtle that nothing can harm it. Angels dwell in light and perfect joy and have knowledge of everything except suffering. For suffering can affect only matter that is not absolutely pure – angels cannot suffer because they are absolutely pure. Angels do not exist on the physical plane, they are to be found only in the higher regions of the astral plane and above. At the boundary between the lower and the higher astral plane there is an intermediary zone inhabited by beings who are in the process of severing their bonds with the regions of darkness. They can still be tormented by the negative influences of the lower astral and physical planes, but once they have worked their way through this zone, they will become like angels.*
