Overview

Vicente Beltrán-Anglada’s Un Tratado Esotérico sobre los Ángeles (An Esoteric Treatise on the Angels) outlines the author's ashramic mission and the scientific-spiritual objectives of this comprehensive work (pp. 1, 3).

Keynotes

  • Ashramic Mission: The Treatise is part of a "Triple Work" assigned by the Spiritual Hierarchy to prepare for the New Era and the coming of the World Teacher (pp. 1-2).

  • The Nature of Angels: Angels (Devas) are defined fundamentally as Energy. They express themselves across all planes, and their essence is identified as a multi-dimensional form of Electricity (pp. 6, 10).

  • Scientific Approach: The author aims to move beyond traditional or mystical views, presenting the study of Angels as a scientific investigation based on occult chemistry, geometry, and the Law of Analogy (pp. 12, 22).

  • Human-Devic Synergy: A primary goal is to foster a conscious "Human-Devic fraternity" to help humanity adapt to the potent energies of the Aquarian Age (pp. 5, 21).

  • Three Aspects of Fire: The work explores Electricity through three fires: Kundalini (Nature/Friction), Solar Fire (Soul/Sensitivity), and Fohat (Spirit/Electric impulse) (p. 6).

  • The Triple Process of Creation: Creation is explained as a three-stage process: Substantiation (condensation of Ether), Formation (structuring chemical elements), and Construction (building specific forms) (pp. 19-20).

  • Hierarchical Centers: The author links angelic activity to the three planetary centers: Shamballa (Will), the Hierarchy (Love-Wisdom), and Humanity (Intelligence) (pp. 7-8).

Comprehensive Summary

The Triple Work (or the three basic projects/commitments) refers to the publication of three specific works that serve as the pillars for the New Era:

  1. Un “Tratado Esotérico sobre los Ángeles” (TESLA): A trilogy (originally intended as a single volume) that explores the relationship between the angelic kingdom and human evolution (p. 3).

  2. Los Misterios de Shamballa: A work detailing the inclusive and unknown spiritual center from which all energies originating Earth's evolution emanate (p. 3).

  3. Magia Organizada Planetaria: The final commitment, which presents organized magic as the "living element" of universal, planetary, and human creation (p. 4).

While his first three books (La Jerarquía, los Ángeles Solares y la Humanidad, Los Misterios del Yoga, and Conversaciones Esotéricas) were also a "triple work" in a preparatory sense (p. 2), the author explicitly identifies the Esoteric Treatise on the Angels, The Mysteries of Shamballa, and Organized Planetary Magic as the fulfillment of his specific ashramic commitments (pp. 3-4).

Purpose and Motivation

Vicente Beltrán Anglada presents this Treatise as a response to a hierarchical decision to train disciples in the "lost art" of establishing conscious contact with the angelic world (p. 5). This contact is essential to facilitate the transition into the Age of Aquarius and to reveal "the alchemy of the Angels" —the scientific ways in which they organize the creative work of the Universe (p. 5).

The Definition of Angels and Ether
The author challenges mystical preconceptions by defining Angels as individualized energy (p. 5). He explains that Ether is not an empty void but the "substance of which worlds are born," created when a Logos (Creator) infuses its Will into Space (p. 10). Angels act as the mediating agents that condense this Ether into Matter, following the occult principle that "energy follows thought" (p. 11).

Structural Breakdown of the Treatise
The author summarizes the focus of the three parts of the work:

  1. Part I: The Hidden Forces of Nature: Focuses on the "subjective mystery of the ethers," the nature of electricity, and the angelic causes behind geological and atmospheric phenomena (volcanoes, hurricanes, etc.) (pp. 13, 26).

  2. Part II: The Devic Structuring of Forms: Investigates the geometry of construction and the "mystic principle of language," showing how Devas translate divine archetypes into physical reality (pp. 16, 26).

  3. Part III: Angels in Human Social Life: Addresses human-devic links, the science of invocation, the Solar Angel (the Spiritual Self), and the role of Devas in parapsychological phenomena (pp. 17, 27).

The Goal: Initiation and White Magic
The ultimate objective of this knowledge is Initiation—the revelation of the "Fifth Kingdom of Nature" (p. 6). By learning to cooperate with the Angels, humans become "White Magicians" capable of redeeming the "worn-out forms" of the past (mental, emotional, and physical) and anchoring more radiant and fraternal social structures on Earth (pp. 7, 21). The author concludes by offering the work as a "song of friendship" to the Angels and a call for a new, scientific theurgy based on universal brotherhood (pp. 9, 31).
