A student asks: “Am I correct in surmising that angels don’t have a childhood? That when first created they are endowed with knowledge and purpose? Great knowledge and great purpose? Even great and often unique skills as well?”

The angels were created in the same way as humans, but as a separate cohort. They were created with great potential, but not with experience. They were given access to knowledge directly via their intuitive reach. The same is true for divine human, but those in the physical lack the range and capability to connect with great accuracy and so are diminished in their current expression. The angelics, in that respect, did have a childhood, so to speak. By lacking experience, they were new to the game and took time to develop their full potential with respect to the skill set inherent in their soul makeup. Their intention for existence is different than for human and is more limited. The angels were created to assist with the various realms put into place by Creator and are, in a sense, the assistants to Creator in taking care of things needed on behalf of Creator’s intention, and as delegated by Creator, when requested by various beings capable of interacting with Creator through their thoughts. There are also many, many instances when things get out of adjustment and need some fine tuning, and here too, Creator may call upon the angelics to make corrections, to compensate for some difficulty arising among the many worlds where life forms exist. So the angelics work throughout the universe, not only in the earth plane, and are of great value to keep the universe humming with as little difficulty and friction as possible—when divine oversight and intervention might be needed for a time to get things back on track, when there is difficulty or a drift out of alignment by an individual organism or a group. It is in earth plane where the duty is much more demanding, and the surrounding worlds within your galaxy, who have been corrupted by the fallen angelics. This is a special case and represents an example of the power behind the concept of free agency and free will. So the angelics are of ancient lineage and have gained tremendous experience through the ages, far beyond what is available to individual humans in physical existence, not being privy directly to their own heritage, and the vast reaches of time underlying their existence, and creation as souls for many who extend back before the creation of the universe itself. So it is a false analogy to think about the angelics in human terms with human life cycle. It is the human at a disadvantage because of the reincarnation in short-term physical lives that creates the dilemma of being in a state of ignorance for much of the course of a lifetime, with wisdom only being accrued after many, many years. And just as it reaches its peak, aging catches up to the human and then they will transition, and will likely return then in a new life, but start over from the beginning. The angelics have had but a single life and persist indefinitely because of their immortal nature, but with awareness of who they are, where they have been, and all they have done informing their actions and adding to their maturity and wisdom in discerning what might be needed or desired on behalf of Creator they can take care of, and then will do so with dispatch.
