Hello knox_knox and All,
Correct or incorrect those are my thoughts on the matter. Also my use of the word "reunion" is perhaps incorrect, but will use that word.
Hope I'm not being obtuse but where exactly do angels come into the plan of things?
Angels so to speak have a greater grasp of the whole spiritual reality of things. Not all the answers, but much further along the path,toward the Ultimate reunion that this existence is all about. They help us in their way, which shoves them further up the path, which in turn helps them.
I accept we are all one etc. but why then should we petition angels to help us? I believe certain healing techniques connect us to divine healing - at some level. How can angels assist and why is this better?
The Angel gets a side benefit from helping us, which is moving toward the more positive spectrum of the Ultimate reunion with The Source, God. It is the pure desire to help/assist us, that the Angels work from, not the side benefit they gain.
Read my blog post to more understand what I say next:

OK, if you read that post, those helpers on the other side, can from their perspective, and where they are, can better understand and see
what would assist you, in what is being petitioned for. So, gentle whispers, hints, clues and whatever it takes, are in one way or another popped into your awareness, and you make the final decision to use that help or not. Of course if there is no belief factor in Angels or
helpers from another realm, your on your own in what takes place.
Now for those that might say, that many people with no God or Angel beliefs, do quite well in health and wealth matters, the intensity, intent and belief factors of those people ARE there, and that is what counts for success in those matters. Of course, though there may be physical riches with those people, there may be "no" Soul advancement.
The Law of Attraction makes no distinction between those that can be called saint or sinner. Good, not good, or plain rotten, if the rules are correctly applied, it works, for everyone. Seems unfair, but that is how I see it in action. If one is on the path to Spiritual enrichment, the Angels perhaps, can assist one in overcoming beliefs from ones religious upbringing that it is" better to be poor and go to heaven, than it is to be rich and go to hell." The bottom line is, no one is forced into doing anything, only to make a choice of accept or reject the assist.
So correct or incorrect those are my thoughts.
Be Well
