Angel, Spirit or Ghost
When it comes to the supernatural, few have not had a brush with eternity. Whether you attend church regularly or are the most determined doubter, the miraculous seeks out all at one point or another. Most of us have one or two fleeting incidents which we easily explain away, while an insistent few claim to have regular contact with members of the great beyond. Who are these beings who open the veil and remind us that we are not alone? Are they glorious messengers sent from God, or malevolent tormentors? Tradition gives them names, but what is the distinction between an angel, a spirit, and a ghost?
Stories of angels are as old as history. In virtually every world religion there is an angel figure—a benevolent celestial being who acts as an intermediary between heaven and earth. In scripture, angels visit man on earth to deliver messages. While many Christians believe that angels are the souls of good people who have passed on, official church doctrine generally describes angels as being created by God before the creation of humanity. Instead, saints are defined as virtuous people who have received their immortality. (One exception to this would be the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, who believe angels are humans who have been resurrected and have bodies of flesh and bone.) Angels are generally virtuous beings, although there are “fallen angels” who become known as demons. Although artists depict angels in glowing robes with halos and wings, the Bible says many entertain angels unawares. If you sense you have been visited by a heavenly being who has delivered an important message, chances are, you have been in touch with an angel.
The definition of spirits is more nebulous. Spirit is used to describe many things, including the part of a living being associated with the mind, will, and feelings. The word spirit is used interchangeably with angel and ghost, although spirits most definitely exist separate from the physical body.
While spirits and angels are almost always part of traditional Western dogma, ghosts are often left out of the religious equation. However, many spiritualists and individuals who have experienced near-death experiences describe ghosts as being individuals who have died, but who have not passed through the “tunnel of light.” They are found in areas they frequented during their lifetimes, and are attired in the styles of their day. Unlike angels, ghosts are in a condition of darkness and lack understanding. They may be confused, may not even know that they have died. Ghosts are almost always associated with haunting—although they may mean no harm. Most ghosts have an attachment to this world, be it unfinished business, emotional trauma, or fears that keep them from crossing over. A visit with a ghost does not have to be frightening. The kindest thing you can do for a ghost is to help him or her to put closure on his or her life and decide to find peace in the next life. A ghost who is particularly evil may have to be exorcised by an authority.
Angels, spirits, and ghosts each serve their own purposes, but one thing they all have in common is they remind us of our own mortality and keep our eyes heavenward.

Esbe’s Halo : 1432734539 $11.89 On the Winter Solstice, in the Place of Possibility, spirit babies are delivered to prospective angel parents. When Father Time trips on his scythe, the delivery of spirit baby, SB-94 goes awry. The cherub falls to earth and is rescued by Angelica. He grows at an alarming speed and is able to speak by Christmas morning. A misunderstanding about his designation, leads Angelica to call him, Esbe. Angelica’s parents cannot see Esbe, but the cherub thinks she should reveal his presence. A good-natured argument follows. By spring, Esbe will be visible to everyone! Angelica prepares a hide-out in the woods. Shortly after moving in, Esbe wanders off and discovers an injured animal. Together, they rescue the possum and Esbe names her, Grannie. That night, Esbe wrestles with a deriding voice and is comforted by the warm glow of his halo. Esbe’s parents, Solarus and Lumenara, begin the search for their cherub. First, they meet an Indian shaman, who has seen the descent of an angel-like spark, landing in the east, where the hole in the sky was born. The angels follow this clue to Huntsville, Alabama, home of early rocket research. They meet, Sareel, a helpful alien, who has heard the riddle of the hole in the sky. Sareel takes them to meet Helvi, a cantankerous environmentalist who claims to know the whereabouts of the lost cherub. Helvi won’t give up her information, until the angels help her. After removing pollution from woods and streams and making speeches for Sareel, Solarus and Lumenara go to Oakridge, Tennessee, hoping this is the place where the hole in the sky was born. They meet Grannie, the possum and learn that she was healed by a light in a box. Finding the hide-out, the cherub’s wings, and the glowing halo, they head into town for more information. In the meantime, Esbe’s meets, Rachela, a fairy queen, and falls in love. He writes a love note, and hides it in the halo’s box. Angelica finds the note. A tense conversation ensues.
