Why everyone needs three archangels - again

We often hear that we need to find three spiritual children, or that a spiritual master has three main disciples. What are the reasons for this?
Spiritual children or disciples stand in the position of archangels. In a normal human family there are parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren, aunts and uncles, but not 'archangels.' The word 'archangel' means leading angel. The word is used in the context of the spiritual reality, the relationship between Adam or Eve and angels.
Adam and Eve fell when they came under influence of angels who failed their mission. These angels should have educated and supported and protected Adam and Eve. When these angels failed, Adam and Eve came to live in a difficult spiritual situation. To restore a good spiritual situation for humans, Eve or Adam, we need three archangels or spiritual children.
There are five reasons why you need three archangels.
- Without three archangels, you as individual cannot stand in a stable four-position foundation.
- Without your three archangels, you cannot reach perfection.
- You need your archangels to protect you.
- You need your archangels to educate you.
- You need your archangels to serve you, and you need to learn to be master over angels.
Archangels for a stable, individual four-position foundation
Have you ever seen a table standing on one leg? Or a chair wobbling on two legs? The minimum demand for stability is support of three bases or foundations. What is true in the physical world is in principle also true in a spiritual sense. The basic foundation for all creations is the four-position foundation[1]. The four-position foundation means that the first position needs three other foundations for the sake of stability, development and good results. It is possible to explain this in a mathematical way, but this is something about which we need to pray and meditate much, in order to get an inner understanding. Adam needs three archangels for stability. Adam and Eve as parents, minimally need three children for stability.
