How does this touch on your own personal philosophy?

This article about angels from a Kabbalistic perspective is very thought provoking, philosophically oriented and psychological. Its basically saying that angels are not literal being but psychological archetypes. I would like to know how this touches on your own individual views.

    In one of my first books, "Demons, devils, angels, gods," I work from the perspective that said beings are archetypes. I clearly presented them as having human and non-human attributes, and how they fit in with the invented mythological society and hierarchy of western religion. Today, these kind of ideas don't amount to much for me, or have had little development, but it was fun going through that learning perspective, at the time.
