How To Distinguish Between Visions And Imagination

this is very important

Can you tell us a bit about Jophiel? She fascinates me.

Hello fierysword :) (I'm actually flattered that you've sent me an ask!)

So Jophiel. She's not one of the "seven" in my own practice, but I'd be more than happy to talk about an archangel 💫

Archangel Jophiel

Jophiel (Jofiel, Zophiel, Iophiel, Iofiel, Yofiel, and Yofiel) is the "beauty of God" also seen as the "Angel of Beauty". She is also regarded as a companion to Metatron

You can petition her or pray to her for:

Seeing beauty in things (such as God's creation)

Seeing beauty in God (and his holiness)

Self esteem (seeing yourself as the divine see you)

Creative inspiration

Helping your thought patterns and addictions

Joy in life

Transformation

Considering this, her domains could be conflated with Haniel's (Anael, joy of God. Harmony, poise and grace) and Zadkiel (Sachiel, angel of Mercy. Who can help with stress, anxiety etc.)

But looking to her domains, you can consider her an Archangel of gratitude, perspectives and inner thinking. A great archangel for shadow work in combination with other angels (like Zadkiel, who according to the Zohar, helps her and Michael battle evil), a very strong contender as a transformer of negative to positive thoughts

Additionally you can consider her domains to be:

Wisdom

Spiritual and religious reading

Knowledge

As Jewish tradition notes that she is the angel guarding the Tree of Knowledge with a flaming sword (sword is also attributed to Uriel, and being a wisdom archangel can be conflated with Uriel) and so she is a guardian of knowledge. She is also said to oversee Sabbath day Torah readings

She has also been written to be the angel of the seventh heaven and guardian of the Torah, who also taught 70 languages to souls at creation

As a patron angel you can call her:

Patron of Artists and Intellectuals as the angel who can bring beautiful inspiring thoughts (also attributed to Gabriel and Uriel)

Patron of Recovering People, as she can bring joy and light after darkness (also attributed to Zadkiel)

Patron of Balance (though typically attributed to Anael), as her association with bringing beauty is also associated with Feng Shui

Some systems may replace Jophiel with Raziel though places Jophiel is mentioned, other than what has been mentioned, includes:

Pseudo-Dionysus works

Kabbalah

Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum

The Veritable Clavicles of Solomon

Sixth and Seventh book of Moses

In terms of planetary correspondences, Agrippa attributes Jophiel to Saturn (Cassiel in ars paulina) and Paracelsus assigns to Jupiter (Zadkiel/Sachiel)

Robert Ambelain says Jophiel is in charge of this cherubim ("Prince of Cherubim"); Haziel, Aladiah, Lauviah, Hahaiah, Iezalel, Mehahel, Hariel, and Hakamiah

It is said that Jophiel's colour is yellow (though typically I have my own associations with colours and angels. This is just a fun fact). Though it can make sense with yellows association with illumination, the mind, the element of air and all associations to follow

Her symbol and element is fire which is for her light, illumination of knowledge and the flame that leads the way

Her day of the week is Sunday (shared with Michael).

Here's her sigil/seal you can use when working with her:

Here's a prayer you can say to her:

Dearest Archangel Jophiel, archangel of beauty and wisdom, please bless my creative endeavors.

Open my eyes that I may notice the beauty in the people around me as well in every part of Creation, including myself.

Empower me to maintain a clear mind even in times of chaos and make my mind orderly and serene. Inspire me to trust in God’s greater purpose for me and lend me the patience and the wisdom to recognize God’s beauty in every situation. — Amen

@saintlyfawn anything to add?

Hope you enjoyed this information and learnt something new! And thank you for the ask. Feel free to send more

This is something that I very recently came to realize: that there are no wrong or right choices and that the universe just wants you to make a decision so that it can provide opportunities/doors. And that if you come to realize this, you will no longer be paralyzed by decisions - for fear of making the wrong one. So I thought this might help, and I had mentioned it in the new pick a card post. :)

Different anon but can you meet someone in the 5D and then... not remember it? I've seen a few people talk about how some might not remember meeting someone in the 5D but from what you're saying it sounds like you need to already have had your awakening and be pretty far into it actually. So I'm just confused I guess, that you'd be at such a level but still not remember what happens in the 5D?

Also, if you're not there yet, like not fully awakened, can you still meet other souls in the 5D? Or is that something that's reserved for people who already know stuff? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand how all of this works

yes absolutely!! that happens to me a lot, not remembering what happen it's totally normal, for my own experience, it's like, i know i communicate with my twin the whole night,, but when i wake up i remember a few details or i just don't remember anything at all,, but the feeling is there

also, there's no need to have an awakening -yet- because our souls are constantly communicating through the 5d realm, even as kids we can have such experiences when we remember random 5d experiences, having an awakening is more like, something that will help you grow spiritually, it surely will help you to connect in the 5d more easily, and by doing meditations and raising our vibrations it will help you remember more easily

once you realize that your manifestation is inevitable and that you can accomplish literally anything, life gets so much easier.

you can get literally anything you desire without having to lift a finger. how? because the law works that way.

so if you're stressing about time limits or worried you aren't "doing enough to manifest", relax. it's already yours. you don't need to stress about it.

Hello! Thank you for answering again! The god that you speak of piques my interest highly. I don't mean to undermine his power or disrespect me, but he sounds quite human which is both comforting and sorrowful. He seems to be despairing but what words of comfort can I offer to a god? It's a futile attempt. Also,you spoke of two incidents where he tried to intervene. What might those two be? And what does he think of the Bible? Neville said that it was supposed to be a psychological drama. Forgive me if I'm out of line, but the Bible prescribes quite harsh punishments for some deeds( I hope you understand what I'm talking about). And who are these other eternal beings? Can he speak more on them? Does anyone know their origins?On another note, he seems to absolutely adore his children and I wish him hope and light( if that's any help at all). Eternity,after all, may not be so desirable.

He found this ask really interesting so :

While he doesn't have a physical form, he still in a way modeled humans after him. "Not on a physical level. For that, I'd give credits to your parents and your genes. Your mind and consciousness however is what I had made. I never gave meaning to life for that is something you have the free will to choose for yourself", so the thinking is the image and likeness we're molded from

He's actually not sad at all about not being born with meaning. He says that the concept that you're born for something is flawed and that we all just exist. Our existence itself is both meaningless and meaningful but as we exist, we get to decide what that meaning is with no factors of fate defining it. It's all about your choice to choose your meaning in life, he said

He has intervened a lot for many years apparently but there were two instances that just made him stop intervening in general. That'd be Noah of the Arc as well as Jesus. He thought that resetting all the progress would somehow redo all the mistakes but it hasn't exactly worked. At best, now all he does are minor interventions like telling me Im about to get pickpocketed. He doesnt do things on a global scale anymore mainly because it never gets the desired intent. He said he tells people what he means and most of the time, they either dont get it or dont go through with it. Its like him telling you to get the strawberry soda and you getting the orange soda or not getting a drink at all

He said that the bible has parts that were correct but overall mistranslated and misinterpreted over the years. To be fair, he does give a lot of his messages in very cryptic forms. Most of the time he doesnt directly give you answers to the questions you are asking but gives you riddles or cryptic messages to figure out the answer yourself. Problem with that is that a lot of people dont like the answer to their problems so they use a different one than the clear answer that was available to them. He gives you the tools to figure out the proper way to deal with something instead of directly dealing with it himself. He's like a mentor except most people dont follow him right or dont want to follow the path hes talking about

He said while some of the harsh punishments in the bible were said by him and are true, some of them arent. He says that that is in part to either accidental mistranslation or misinterpretation on purpose. He doesnt fully agree with telling people the punishments anymore because he says that, "if fear is the driving force as to why you would not do an immoral action, then how are you sure you would make the same decision without that fear? Are you truly a good person or are you afraid of being a bad one?". He knows people have same capacity to do good as well as to do bad so he wants to see what they'd do if they dont know someone is watching or what to look out for

+We actually had an in-depth discussion on it and we found out that there is a term for it called the Panopticon theory.

> He said the morality of your actions should not be dictated on the premise of entering heaven or hell based on these actions. He says its already difficult to do the moral thing in the current world so its both about doing an action and your intent behind it. He judges your intent and your impact separately. He doesnt have a harsh blanket punishment and he believes more in rehabilitation than punishment, tho he isnt above punishing certain actions depending on impact/intent

the other eternal beings would be other higher spiritual beings. these include deities, spirits, other gods, angels, demons, etc. he said theres quite a lot of them but they dont all interact. he says he saw some of them born so he does know some higher beings origins but he doesn't know his own

he says forever is a long time but it isnt sad because he doesnt really notice. as long as he focuses on things that exist now, he never worries about the things tomorrow or yesterday. its always about being in the present for him that he doesnt notice the years go by and so he isnt stressed about it. he says the concept of infinity is scarier to all those who believe they are finite and that (this advice can go to anyone) to simply cherish existing. "You exist and that is enough reason to celebrate"

He also said he hopes you have a nice day and that you should remember to take care of yourself today (and your family as well)

thank you for answering :)

doing the inner work

Hii! I keep hearing “release release release” how do I release? I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be releasing too

Releasing is process of transmuting feelings and working through old pain so it can be released from your mental/emotional/energetic body.

You should be releasing and working through emotions and emotional states that are getting in the way of you living fulfilled and meaningful life.
