When Jesus came to earth, he had more chance to be a channel and to show people what being a channel could really be for them also. His advantage was that he was not born of a woman, but of the Holy Spirit (God Consciousness). So, essentially, he got a 'jump start' in the way he was born and was thus able to demonstrate to others what they could be also. . He even said "these things I do, you shall do also".

After he was baptized in the river jordan, a dove was seen descending on him and a voice from heaven (all because god-consciosness wanted to advertise him to the people) as they didn't have mass media t.v. back then.

Then, an 'angel' told John the baptizer that he would see 'angels' ascending and descending upon him (Jesus) from here- on out into the future of his earthly life.

What were these 'angels'? They are messengers or messages. If angels with wings exist or not is not important here. We may call them 'intuitive messages' or 'messages from god-consciousness. These messages are for you to.
