It's standard human mating behaviour. People seek to gain power (or protection) by striving to permanently tie a high-status person to themselves in the hope of becoming equally powerful by proxy – it's like yearning to marry a popstar, spirituality has got nothing to do with it.
While I agree that many would see it this way and frankly, they do, I have to disagree that this'd be the case in some others'.
ㅤIt doesn't take a marriage to see how desperate people can be to gain power and 'prestige' through powerful beings. I've seen people, trying to work with higher entities, usually very popular and even feared one -to ensure they are looked up at-, just to brag about it and 'show off' that yes, they are doing it - and yeah, usually these are the ones who get jealous and offended first by seeing those who have far more genuine and reciprocative connection with the being
they approached and tried to yap about it.
I am far more focused on building serious and deep running bonds
if I sense one approach (I never chase, I never seek for these, they just come), forming these beyond consciousness, through my soul. If I feel that an entity (be it a Deity, an Infernal or an Angel) is very, very close to me, if I feel this bond is profound, perhaps running deeper, beyond this human life -it is not uncommon- and I give time to it to blossom and see how things shift, as my mind is swayed away in my regular life in the same time, I can measure whether I'm willing to dedicate myself to this entity or not.
Here's a thing. I've said no to multiple spouse proposition coming from Deities and Infernals myself.
I feel it completely natural and fair both to myself and them. I did that, because I felt like that I would not be able to maintain the connection eventually, I felt like, that during that time, I was not clear in mind and heart enough to make such a decision, because naturally, I have no intent tossing them aside afterwards, for whatever reasons. Yes, on a spiritual level, it would not mean much, but through human lens, I'd feel bad thinking I'm neglecting the bond.
Without sugarcoating: yes,
I knew my dedication won't be on top so I said no.
In this case, the intelligence and power gradient is so steep it's like an ant proposing marriage to a supercomputer.
An another thing: I don't see my soul below any Infernal, or Angel, and you know what?
They agreed with me, and never challenged this, because that's the truth. Yes, I live a human life, boring and annoying as it is, being surrounded by people, and when they come close, heck, they even breathe, me too, gross
but (jokes aside)... a soul's worth is not defined by whether they are incarnated on a plane or not, and they know it too.
My soul itself is a supercomputer as well, perfectly capable of anything they can do, in fact, many things they can do, I, consciously as a human, can do myself. For I don't need them to achieve the things many occultist using them for. My self-respect and being at peace with my identity both through the lens of a human and as 'myself' (the soul) is a significant step in my spirituality, and the amount of respect, acceptance, devotion this stirred from Infernals and Angels, and other entities is very sensible.
But, of course, I don't recommend anyone to change their mindset and grab this one within a night, because what is very important is
understanding. It is a must to understand
yourself, to be able to draw this conclusion not by what others say, but what
you understood.
ㅤThere's a difference between an egoistic narcissist who think himself as a God but fail to understand how is it right, and someone who knows why is it valid to see themselves as such, and simply embrace it with genuine humbleness, for in that moment you realise and learn to be at peace with yourself, this won't become a 'subject of bragging'. To a jealous, insecure, struggling person this will be obscene, perhaps blasphemous and triggering, but to someone who is at peace, it is a simple 'that's who I am', and dot.
ㅤMost souls are not different either; but human consciousness is an another barrier, and it's a very thick one, and then, of course, the ego.
ㅤI say, if one finally understood the essence, the very reason behind the way one could think of themselves (their soul) as such, only then they are ready to live with this thought responsibly, without tainted by it.
It is possible to marry an Angel, same way you could marry anything else
if accepted (as you can be and possibly will be rejected if your mindset and bond is not necessarily clear or welcomed by the spirit and you just want to marry one for the sake of it), but same way humans can chose to marry in their life with humans, there's always a reason behind a proposal to a Deity, Infernal, Angel etc. and you should be aware what's driving you, and if it's truly worth following the urge, or it is shallow and eventually will die out.
ㅤPeople also think that proposing to a spirit then simply forgetting about them and moving on just because they can't physically knock on their door and spam their social media makes it less risky, but in contrary, this can be equally problematic if you fail, or worse. That is, of course, if you pick the wrong one with a less understanding nature.
ㅤThe other sticky situation is when one thinks they married an Angel, Deity or Infernal but thanks to their lack of practice, they end up with a parasite, pretending they are 'higher beings'.
