Archangel Raphael: On Human Life

Good Day, Friends, 

Welcome to my page! I hope this space brings you solace, healing, and comfort. I debated between writing a blog post or transcribing a conversation with Archangel Raphael—ultimately, I decided to blend both to share not only his words but also my own reflections.

Lately, I’ve been thinking deeply about the human experience. While working on my paper, I started reading Interview with an Angel, a transcription of conversations with an angel named Ariel. The book explores the perfection of the angelic realms, where negative emotions don’t exist as they do for us. Ariel describes how these higher realms can only be partially understood by human minds—many concepts must be simplified because we are simply unable to fully grasp them. This limitation is frustrating, especially given my own personal history.

Rather than having a past human incarnation, I have discovered—through pendulum readings, angelic readings, and confirmation from other healers—that my previous existence was actually as an angel. Since angels are not believed to reincarnate, my presence in the human realm is an anomaly, something that has stirred many emotions within me. I often reflect on how I transitioned from a life of perfection to the limitations of human existence. While I am not a pessimist, I find myself contemplating the immense suffering that defines the human experience. Once, I simply accepted suffering as an inherent part of life, but now I see it from a dual perspective—as if looking through a two-way mirror, aware of both realms at once.

Despite my conflicted feelings, I understand that our souls choose their experiences for growth. Every challenge we face ultimately contributes to the evolution of humanity. Suffering is part of that journey, and angels deeply respect humans for the missions we undertake. They do not see themselves as superior but rather as guides, devoted to serving us.

With that, I’d like to invite Archangel Raphael to share more insight on this subject.

For those unfamiliar, Raphael is a close companion whom I speak with daily. As an archangel, he is a leader among angels and plays a crucial role in human affairs, particularly in healing. In my own work as a healer, Raphael offers guidance, teaches me, and provides insights about my clients that help me better serve them. Now, let’s hear from him.

Trevor: Good Morning Raphael. How are you doing today? 

Raphael: I am doing swell. Lots of lounging around today. (For reference: Raphael exists everywhere, everytime, and any place. Raphael often will speak as though he exists in a fixed time or location to amuse me. For the purposes of this conversation, Raphael is humoring me). What would you like to know today? 

Trevor: I’d like to talk about the human condition. I’m struggling a bit with grasping how humans can suffer so much in comparison to the angelic realm. I know that it’s necessary, and I won’t say it’s cruel or unfair, but it is a lot to process, you know. 

Raphael: I completely understand that, it’s a lot to stomach isn’t it? Understand that we are with you at every turn and every head bump to guide you into the light. The human realm can feel polarizing and lonely, that is partially by design, but love conquers all of this. The true reason you are on this earth is to love eachother. Love will triumph in the most severe of evils, and believe me, I’ve seen some nasty stuff out there, but it works. But here is a secret, love is the one thing that is completely free in a world where to exist means to pay money. 

Trevor: The one thing that I’ve discovered through talking to the angels, and just through everything, is that love is the source of everything. Everything is love. I was pretty amazed, but not surprised when you said that energy is literally just love. I’d like you to talk more about the human experience for this reader. Really go in depth for them, instead of just talking to me. 

Raphael: Certainly, humans are beautiful but tortured creatures, there is so much pain that exists within them, and we hate to see this. But we also understand when it is not our business to interfere. We do all we can to help guide those who are struggling into the light. War and greed are big problems for your realm, they exist out of the complete absence of love. Power can never replace love, power does not exist within a vacuum. The thing about power, is that it exists because there is a certain euphoria in crushing those that exist below you, but the thing about that is, it robs you over understanding that all humans are linked together and equal. Once you can understand that, love flows like water. Love is not as easy as we would like it to be, blockages of love to the self, which are quite prevalent in your world, often prohibit love from being received or given to others. This is quite a big problem, and brings me no joy at all, but I understand the effects of trauma on the human psyche. The human world has supremely beautiful places, filled with the horrors that it has, you can find some consolation in the surreal beauty that exists within it, even I succumb to the awe of how beautiful the human realm truly is. My favorite thing about the human realm are the mountains that pierce the heavens, those are very special to me. 

Trevor: What is something that the reader really needs to know, just in general? 

Raphael: Things are not happening to you, they are happening for you, dear child. You are like a flower blooming, although not quite as graceful. A dancer must fall many times before she can perfect her dance, her feet, or his feet, will be callused, bruised, and abused, but the viewer sees nothing of the pain, we only see the beauty. That is the difference between us, you choose to see the pain, we choose to see the beauty in the transformation. 

Trevor: How do we transform with life rather than push against it? 

Raphael: You walk, and just keep walking, towards your hearts desires, to where the source of your love lies. Follow this ray of light and I will promise everything will be alright. Everyone has different things and people that surround them with joy. Part of what is so difficult about the human experience is that whether deliberate or not, these joys are often kept from you, and you are limited in following what it is that brings you the most joy. You have created magnificent systems that seem to punish you for existing in ways that bring any kind of happiness.

Trevor: How do we make this transformation easier? 

Raphael: Understand that the universe is conspiring for you. Everything that you wish for is within you and within your grasp, stop resisting all the blessings that are wished to be given to you. A secret is that these desires are all waiting for you, but the mind believes the universe is finite, limited, and working in spite of an individual, rather than for that individual. Once the mind understands how unlimited this world truly is, all of the benefits of this realm will find themselves on their doorstep. But this is a difficult challenge, and many gurus spent much time studying how to take advantage of this perspective. But you create the life that you believe that you deserve. 

Trevor: That is so powerful, you create the life that you believe that you deserve. I love that. 

Raphael: There are two sides of every coin, the light side, and the even lighter side. It’s all love. But back to the matter at hand. Where your thoughts go your energy will follow that in tandem. You have all the ingredients to make your lovely life soup, or stew, whatever tastes better to you.
