- They are the third stage of manifestation of the Divine inhabiting the dimension directly above man.
- There is one for everything from entire nations down to an individual blade of grass.
- Although we describe them as spiritual beings, that's only in relation to our fourth stage: they are more physical than second stage manifestation.
- They have free will, however the concealment of G-d's Unity in their dimension is so thin as to render their ability to choose to disobey G-d virtually meaningless.
- They can't read thoughts however they can 'smell' degree of intent.
- They have no physical form unless they descend to our dimension whereupon physical bodies are created for them to inhabit. The descriptions provided by the prophets are metaphors for their functions in their natural habitat not physical depictions.
- If they do descend to our dimension, upon their return they need to immerse in the metaphorical river of fire that feeds Hell, to cleanse themselves of the impurity that exists in our dimension.
- An angel exists only so long as he has a function. Upon completion of his purpose he ceases to exist. As such, there are two types of angels, ones with permanent functions, and ones with temporary functions.
- There are two groups of angels: angels of service and angels of destruction. The former perform positive functions and the latter, negative functions.
- There are ten types from the holiest ones that have the highest functions to the least ones that have the smallest functions. The latter are the ones that show prophecies to prophets.
