Serving the higher beings

Only an inner attitude of humility and respect will allow you to achieve your spiritual goals. If you ask heavenly entities to come and satisfy your desires and lusts, you cut yourself off from the ascending current, which connects you, through the angelic hierarchies, to God. It is you who must serve the higher beings, the angels, archangels and the Deity, for that is the natural order of things.

Everywhere in nature you will find a summit and a base, a head and a tail, and it's the tail that must follow the head, not the other way round. When you pray to heaven, ask it to take you into its service, not to come down and serve you.

You'll say, 'But the rays from the sun and the stars reach us, and the angels also come down to visit us.' Of course, but it is only those who inwardly accept the cosmic order that benefit from their coming. Similarly, angels travel across space distributing their blessings, but these are only received by those who recognize the true hierarchy.
