Angels and demons are like the forces of a magnet; they are invisible metaphysical energy bundles. Energy bundles associated with the God realms are called angels, and those with the satanic realms are called demons.
If we hold a magnet in one hand and iron filings in the other, we cannot see anything coming out of the magnet. But at the right distance, the iron filings literally seem to jump out of our hands towards the magnet.
Lines of electro-magnetic force have always mystified scientists. We can measure them, we can approximate what they look like, we know there is something happening that has strength and attraction, but it is invisible and not even discernable unless we have the right tools. We can place our hands next to a very strong magnet and nothing happens. But if we have an iron bracelet strapped to our wrist, it could be pulled by the magnet so strongly that we could not move our hand away.
In physical reality, every move we make is dependent upon electro-magnetic energy. Our cells are held together by it, the synapses upon which our minds work could not function without it. Gravity is a form of this energy.
In the metaphysical realm, rather than call it electro-magnetic, we could call it angelic-demonic energy. Every move we make is supported by an angel or demon; moreover, everything we do creates new angels and demons. In this context, angels do not have personalities, nor are they entities. They represent lines of force, packets of energy like light photons, neither wave nor particle, and they cannot be distinguished except through results.
When I bump my head, was I pushed? No. Nothing outside of myself pushed me. Yet I moved differently than I normally do because I normally do not bump my head. Was this a malicious energy bundle? No. Was it a demon? Yes. How do demons work? A demon is a configuration of circumstances that ends up with me bumping my head. A set of combined variables is called a demon when an inevitable result occurs.
At any point along the way, however, one of these variables could change. I could turn right instead of left. So I would miss bumping my head. In that case, the turn was a angel. I simply do not realize it because my head was never bumped. Therefore, each moment is packed with conditions that pull me closer to God and those that tug me farther away. Any of these, viewed individually or collectively, can be put on my good and evil scale. I am continuously surrounded by angels and demons.
ANGELS
The reference material regarding angels and demons in Jewish mysticism is extensive. Many details contradict each other. A large amount of information is based on medieval mythology, which was influenced by ideas from a variety of sources that extend far beyond traditional literature.
There are dozens of archangels, including four primary ones who are often identified in the oral tradition as Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Raphael. In addition to these are hundreds of angels mentioned by name in different mystical texts. Many names of angels begin with attributes that describe the qualities of the angel and end in "el" or "yah," which are names of God. But the nature of individual angels is not always clear. Gabriel means "the strength of God," but Gabriel is also called the angel of fire and the angel of war.5
Raphael is usually known as the angel of healing, but it is also called the prince of Hades.5
Liliel is the angel of the night, but Lilith--which also means night--is considered to be the arch she-devil.5
Michael is the angel of mercy and sometimes the angel of prayer; but Sandalphon is also associated as the angel of prayer
