From THE URANTIA BOOK
Part III, 113, 2
.
When human beings fail to survive,
their personal or group guardians may repeatedly
serve in similar capacities on the same planet.
The seraphim develop a sentimental regard for
individual worlds and entertain a special affection
for certain races and types of mortal creatures
with whom they have been so closely
and intimately associated.

The angels develop an abiding affection for
their human associates; and you would, if you could
only visualize the seraphim, develop a warm
affection for them.
.
Divested of material bodies, given spirit forms,
you would be very near the angels in many attributes of personality. They share most of your emotions and experience some additional ones. The only emotion actuating you which is somewhat difficult for them to comprehend is the legacy of animal fear that bulks so large in the mental life of the average inhabitant of Urantia. The angels really find it hard to understand why you will so persistently allow your higher intellectual powers, even your religious faith, to be so dominated by fear, so thoroughly demoralized by the thoughtless panic of dread and anxiety.

The whole subject of angels is fascinating.
