Archangel Michael Has a New Name

Rogier:
Does Archangel Michael have a new name?^✶

The Seer:
Erasvanus — the One who lights the path.

Rogier:
Why did Michael's function change? Does he remember his previous function? Is there some connection between his current and previous function?

The Seer:
He doesn't remember.

The Seer:
Michael's functions have changed as follows through the ages:

• The protector: Mika-el
• The one who removes obstacles: Ephrimvael
• The one who illuminates the way: Erasvanus

What all three functions have in common:
They represent the evolving way for physical beings to best cope with the challenges of material life.

The three evolving stages of coping with physical challenges:

1. Physical beings evolve beyond protectiveness by realizing that we strengthen what we oppose and we attract that which we fear.
2. Unless we gain the insights that obstacles are supposed to bring us they will keep reappearing in slightly different ways.^†
3. The most evolved way of dealing with the challenges in our environment, is to recognize what inner dysfunction caused them, and to change outer circumstances by changing within.
