Identifying an Angel..., Can someone help? Options

(Hi - I'm new. First post! Yay!)

But I came here to ask about an angel - I guess I should start at the beginning.

It was during my "awakening" I suppose - when I was becoming more and more aware of spiritual things around me, when I had a dream (they're all usually straight forward, so I don't think this was symbollic at all) - I was in a garden, and seeking out someone - and when I found him, he was an angel. I forget even how I knew - He was floating just a bit above me.

He wore long white robes with a red cross upon them. I can't really remember what he looked like, or what he said (he said something very cryptic) and then I was awoken as if someone had dropped me/pushed me on the bed.

Is there any way of identifying angels by the garments they wear? Colors?

Greetings ....From my experiences (nobody's experiences are the same ... hence why I state it is from my experiences) I find that higher entities can adopt ANY appearance they wish. They appear as the seem fit for the situation you are in.

All higher entities seem to exist in the same flux or existence once they reach a certain energy level. All archangels, angels, ascended masters ... whatever ... all seem to merge into one identity/one form ... they all become parts of each other. Therefore this oneness can choose what expression of itself it wishes to communicate with lower facets.

To me ... it matters not who you are or who I are ... or who any human being is .... the most IMPORTANT entity/angel you can wish to meet is your self .. your true self ... your own angelic expression.

This angelic expression is also part of the same flux as all the ones gone before and all the archangels. It is more than possible that your own angelic expression can and will adopt the form of something else to grab your attention. For at the start of this magical trail the last entity which you wish to communicate with is your self. You would be disappointed if all you met with was yourself eh?

However, as you wander the twists and turns of the path, you come to realise the only entity you wish to meet or trust is in fact your self or your true self .....!!!!

For in truth there is only one angelic expression which knows more about you or where you are going or what you really need than your self.

It is more than likely that the entity you met is your own true self ... your higher self!!!

More often than not I now chant a mantra made up of my own earthly name to summon my own true self. I find I gain much more instruction by doing this than by trying to summon something else. Nine times out of ten when an entity meets me on my journey matching that which I called ... it turns out to be my own angelic expression ... my own true self in disguise ....
