Our universe was manifest from what would, in the Vedic system, be called the Shiva/Parvati aspect of the Godhead.
In our universe, they have taken the forms of beings called Michael and Amma.
The being known as "Archangel Michael" in the Judeo-Christian system is actually no archangel at all, but rather the "Divine Father" of our particular Universe insomuch as it is he and his feminine counterpart through whom our universe was manifest.
I will refer to Michael's counterpart as Amma, which is simply a Sanskrit term meaning Mother. Amma is the "Divine Mother" of our universe.
Amma is absolutely equal to Michael in terms of power, position, and authority.
Michael and Amma are not the Godhead Itself, but rather manifestations of the Shiva and Parvati aspects of the Godhead in individual forms for the purpose of universe creation.
As such, Michael and Amma are not infinite, omniscient, or omnipresent, but in our universe they are the closest things to it.
Michael means "He Who is Like God," and as mentioned before Amma simply means "Mother."
There is a Michael and an Amma for every universe designated as a universe of duality and there are numerous other types of beings of the same level who manifest other universes.
Michael and Amma are our Father and Mother if your soul's first place of manifestation was within this universe that they created and govern.
There are an infinite amount of universes and Laws of Existence tend to be universe specific.
This means that in a particular universe there will be a particular nature and structure to that particular energetic matrix and all beings in that particular universe/energetic matrix are bound by that nature and structure.
The nature and structure of a universe's energetic matrix could be referred to as "laws," and different universes are governed by different laws.
Michael and Amma are direct manifestations of the Godhead and are not individual souls, as are all of the rest of the beings that have emanated directly or indirectly through them in our universe.
In the creation of our universe, Michael and Amma called forth individual souls out of the Godhead, created forms - bodies - for them to inhabit, and channelled those souls through their own bodies into those forms.
These "direct children" of Michael and Amma are the first created beings in the universe and they have come to be known on Earth as the "high gods" or "archangels" of various different Earth cultures.
As our universe is a universe of duality, these beings, and most beings in our universe, were created in male or female forms.
These beings are important for many reasons, but a few stand out.
Being directly created from Michael and Amma, they carry what may be called the direct spiritual "DNA" of the original creators of our universe, meaning energetically speaking their nature and their forms are the most like their parents out of all the other beings in the universe.
Additionally, they are only one "generation" removed from the Godhead itself.
From a human perspective, these are beings of unfathomable consciousness, power, and size. They can only interact with a being such as a human in a very limited form or aspect of themselves. These beings are universal and excel the planets and stars in energy endowment.
The forms and natures of these beings were specifically created from the Godhead out of different aspects of primordial energy.
It is these beings who assisted Michael and Amma in the creation of our universe, each fulfilling a different role for which he or she was specifically created.
As all energy is consciousness, all fields of energy are created and held together by the beings in that field.
These direct children of Michael and Amma, thus, are holders of the various bandwidths of energy in our universe that hold the universe together.
These beings literally hold the universe together with the own bodies and energy.
Sarasvati is the goddess holding the bandwidth of Wisdom.
Laksmi is the goddess holding the bandwidth of Love.
Kuan Yin is the goddess holding the bandwidth of Compassion.
Gabriel is the god holding the bandwidth of Authority and Service.
Raphael is the god holding the bandwidth of Health and Healing.
Indra is the god holding the bandwidth of Royal Warriorship.
Uriel is the last direct child of Michael and Amma.
He holds the bandwidth of Fire and Light.
There are, of course, many more direct emanations from Michael and Amma, but the number is limited.
There are numerous levels of celestial beings of all kinds, but the above are the "highest ranking" ones who are clearly known to me who are directly involved in human affairs on a grand scale.
