WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANGEL AND A SPIRIT GUIDE?
If a person comes from a more traditional or religious belief system, he or she will usually refer to this divine inspiration as angels or the Holy Spirit. If someone has studied metaphysics or is involved with Eastern philosophy, he or she is more likely to call them guides. Whatever you call them, they are one and the same. There are not ten million different systems in the Cosmos, there is only one. Unfortunately, there are ten million different names for the same experience or phenomena. This is why there is so much confusion or competition on planet earth. Actually, the word angel comes from the Hebrew word malakh, meaning messenger. The original term came from the Persian (angeros) and the Greek (angelos) which means courier. All of these names refer to a celestial spirit who gives us divine guidance from the universe. Since most of ancient culture is based on experience and not scientific theories, these people knew they received inspiration from something apart from themselves.
