LET ME INTRODUCE ARCHANGEL METATRON...
Archangel Metatron
ctto: Whitney Hopler (http://www.learnreligion.com)
Archangel Metatron is known as the angel of life. He guards the Tree of Life and writes down the good deeds people do on Earth, as well as what happens in heaven, in the Book of Life (also known as the Akashic Records).
Metatron is a powerful angel who teaches people how to use their spiritual power for good while he records their choices in the universe's great archive (known either as God's book of life or the Akashic record).
Metatron means either "one who guards" or "one serves behind [God’s] throne." Other spellings include Meetatron, Megatron, Merraton, and Metratton. Archangel Metatron is known as the angel of life. He guards the Tree of Life and writes down the good deeds people do on Earth, as well as what happens in heaven, in the Book of Life (also known as the Akashic Records). Metatron is traditionally considered to be the spiritual brother of Archangel Sandalphon, and both were humans on Earth before ascending to heaven as angels (Metatron is said to have lived as the prophet Enoch, and Sandalphon as the prophet Elijah). People sometimes ask for Metatron's help to discover their personal spiritual power and learn how to use it to bring glory to God and make the world a better place.
Symbols: In art, Metatron is often depicted guarding the Tree of life.
Energy Colors: Green and pink stripes or blue.
Role in Religious Texts:
The Zohar, the holy book of the mystical branch of Judaism called Kabbalah, describes Metatron as "the king of angels" and says that he "rules over the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" (Zohar 49, Ki Tetze: 28:138). The Zohar also mentions that the prophet Enoch has turned into the archangel Metatron in heaven (Zohar 43, Balak 6:86).
In the Torah and the Bible, the prophet Enoch lives an extraordinarily long life, and then is taken up into heaven without dying, as most humans do: "All of Enoch’s days were 365 years. Enoch walked with God, and was no more, because God had taken him" (Genesis 5:23-24). The Zohar reveals that God decided to allow Enoch to continue his earthly ministry forever in heaven, describing in Zohar Beresh*t 51:474 that, on Earth, Enoch was working on a book that contained "the inner secrets of wisdom" and then "was taken from this Earth to become a heavenly angel." Zohar Beresh*t 51:475 reveals: "All the supernal secrets were delivered into his hands and he, in turn, delivered them to those who merited them. Thus, he performed the mission that the Holy One, blessed be he, assigned to him. One thousand keys were delivered into his hands and he takes one hundred blessings every day and creates unifications for his Master. The Holy One, blessed be He, took him from this world so that he would serve him above.
The text [from Genesis 5] refers to this when it reads: 'And he was not; for Elohim [God] took him.'"
The Talmud mentions in Hagiga 15a that God allowed Metatron to sit down in his presence (which is unusual because others stood up in God’s presence to express their reverence for him) because Metatron is constantly writing: " ... Metatron, to whom was given permission to sit down and write the merits of Israel."
Other Religious Roles:
Metatron serves as the patron angel of children because the Zohar identifies him as the angel who led the Hebrew people through the wilderness during the 40 years they spent traveling to the Promised Land.
Sometimes Jewish believers mention Metatron as an angel of death who helps es**rt people’s souls from Earth to the afterlife.
In sacred geometry, Metatron's cube is the shape that represents all the shapes in God's creation and Metatron's work directing the flow of creative energy in orderly ways.
Some believers say that Metatron is one of only two angels (the other is Archangel Sandalphon) who was first a human being. It is believed he was the prophet Enoch from the Torah and the Bible before ascending to heaven and becoming an angel. Metatron's experience living on Earth as a person gives him a special ability to relate to people who want to connect with him. Here are some signs of Metatron's presence:
Flashes of Brilliant Light
You may see bright flashes of light whenever Metatron is visiting you, believers say, because he has a fiery presence that may manifest in the form of a crystalline body or colorful aura.
In their book, "Gnostic Healing: Revealing the Hidden Power of God," authors Tau Malachi and Siobhan Houston suggest meditating and then envisioning Metatron appearing as a "crystalline light-body complete with the seven interior stars and the three channels, and the spiritual sun in the heart." They continue: "Take up the chant Sar Ha-Olam, and envision a ray of light shooting up through the central channel from the spiritual sun in your heart and appearing as a holy star of white brilliance above your head. With the chant Torahkiel Yahweh, imagine that this star magically transforms into the image of Archangel Metatron."
Author Doreen Virtue writes in her book , "Archangels 101," that Metatron's aura is "deep pink and dark green" and that Metatron often uses a brilliantly lit cube (known as "Metatron's Cube" in sacred geometry because it's reminiscent of Ezekiel's chariot that the Torah and the Bible describe as made of angels and powered by flashes of light). Metatron uses that cube to heal people of unhealthy energies that they want to clear out of their lives. Virtue writes, "The cube spins clockwise and uses centrifugal force to push away unwanted energy residue. You can call upon Metatron and his healing cube to clear you."
Archangel Metatron Urges You to Change Your Thoughts
Whenever you sense an urge to replace a negative thought with a positive one, that urge may be a sign from Metatron, say believers. Metatron is especially concerned about how people think because his work keeping the universe's records constantly shows him how people's negative thoughts lead to unhealthy choices while people's positive thoughts lead to healthy decisions.
In her book, "AngelSense," Belinda Joubert writes that Metatron often urges people to replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts: "Metatron assists you in choosing your thoughts carefully. Always try to be the master of your thoughts instead of a slave to your thoughts. When you are the master, you are in charge, meaning you are motivated, focused, and inspired with positive thoughts."
Rose VanDen Eynden suggests in her book, "Metatron: Invoking the Angel of God's Presence," that readers use physical tools (such as a quartz crystal or a yellow or gold candle) in meditation to call upon Metatron as a "pillar of light." She writes that Metatron will help you "rid yourself of all energies that do not serve your own higher good or the will of the Creator." She continues: "Now, as you stand enveloped in the Archangel's fiery presence, you feel the intense healing of his nature enters your mind. All negative thoughts are instantly wiped from your consciousness and replaced with the burning passion of love. This is love for all things, all creatures, love for yourself and for all of Creator's magnificent beings."
A Strong Fragrance
Another way that Metatron may choose to get your attention is through a strong fragrance around you. Joubert writes in "AngelSense." "When you get an unusual smell of strong herbs and spices like chilies or peppercorns, it is a sign from Metatron."
