Yes we should be aware of bad spirits but Capstan did you have some bad experience involving a bad angel?
The first quote was to illustrate that angels can be wicked. The second was to honor Old Soul's request for an example of the positive influence of angels.

I don't want to put a negative spin on this subject, but a realistic one. There's a wide-spread perception that the afterlife is all sweetness and light, streets paved with gold, etc., etc., where, if we can just make it through the strife of mortal life, we'll all have it easy in Heaven and will be taken care of, will never have to work again or be concerned with moral issues, which isn't true. Life goes on, even in the afterlife. Always, in the afterlife. No, I've never had a bad experience with an angel, but I've had lots of experience with well-intentioned, misinformed humans who advance the wrong ideas out of wishful thinking.

The question is, "What's the point of Guardian Angels?" Perhaps there's no point. To the OP I would say, rather than your desire to contact angels, you should consider contacting the Supreme Being Himself. In other words, eliminate all these angelic middlemen and go straight to the Source. You're entitled.

Your own heart is the best source of guidance, because it touches the Creator.
