A practitioner asks: “Aren’t some angels ‘made up’ by the darkness? Wouldn’t that be dangerous, as I thought Metatron was a New Age angel?”

You are wise to be cautious when it comes to voices and beings, channeled or otherwise, purporting to be angels. Most angelic work is done behind the scenes with little notice or conscious awareness. Those who are intuitive will see the outlines but, for the most part, an angelic presence will be done in human form, perhaps to caution someone, warn them, or actually rescue someone in danger, but then wander off and not stay behind to receive credit so there is not verifiable proof of a divine intervention. When someone is claiming to be an angelic being, that is often a warning that an imposter is at hand and wanting to influence people in some fashion. This is a common strategy and, as your channel has noted over and over again, more than 90% of channelers are not channeling the angels or archangels they believe they are, or other divine level beings, but imposters who dupe them. Much of what is said might be in divine alignment up to a point, but that is part of the strategy, to be seemingly authentic but limited in what can truly be offered in the way of tangible benefit, and that is the cost of the deception, that it will not pay off in the long run and there will be some poisoning of belief along the way as well as further personal manipulation of the followers who are drawn to such channels. Metatron is not a New Age creation, but an archangel of long-standing participation in the human realm. Although lesser-known, this angelic being is a great help to humanity and has been for many individuals in many tough situations. This is why we caution people in their thoughts and prayers to reach out to us, to Creator, to the Almighty, to God, whatever term you are comfortable with, for what is most lofty and most holy, as the Origin of All That Is, and proceed from there. If there is something you need, we can assign any number of helpers among the archangels and other beings to assist in various ways and, in fact, construct a whole spirit team to be at the ready and support a person in a variety of ways simultaneously, and so on. To go to an archangel alone, in prayer, is a missed opportunity to have a wider and deeper divine intervention.
