I know not everyone has these types of New Agey beliefs but I am just curious if there is a general consensus surrounding this idea, because some sources describe it as a mere human with angelic qualities and others as a literal angel who did have a pre-existing heavenly life and then for whatever reason decided to temporarily leave heaven to be born as a human on Earth as some sort of muse, guiding light or healer for oppressed humans.
I guess the meaning is only specific to every individual and how one perceives it and that no one should have the authority to define what one's life purpose should mean to them but I am just curious to know others' thoughts.
