Celestial Family Conundrum
The very first line in the Old Testament (Torah) is this (common translation):
| In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. |
| בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ |
This tells you immediately that the structure of the Heavens was created and whilst that may sound stupidly obvious, it is a simple point which most people overlook.
The word for Heaven is given in the "Plural" and the commonly translated word for "God" is Elohim so you may also like to read this "Elohim"
page.
Mainly because they think that there is just 1 "heaven".
People think like this because simple people translated a "document" of which they had NO idea of the magnitude, layers or depth of the words written therein.
Each one of there levels of "Heaven" has its own hierarchical structure just like a global corporation does in our modern business world.
Too many people think that this is an old bedtime story about sheep herders and they do not realize that it is a scroll of cyclical prophecy (according to the specific level people are on when the Torah was given). One quick example is the "Sodom Prophecy". 
The "Sefer Zohar"
(Soncino press edition) talks about "God" convoking "His" Celestial Family before passing final judgement on this planet.
So what exactly does this mean - "Celestial Family"?
Remember that this is a translation based on words which people use to relate to a subject and the translation may not be 100% accurate.
Anthropomorphization ↟↟
Say that fast 6 times when you are sober.
Anthropomorphization
is most commonly use in the context of assigning human characteristics or attributes to "things" which may or may not include emotions, intentions, or behaviors to non-human entities, such as animals, objects, or natural phenomena (including stars).
Some quick anthropomorphic examples of are "Zodiac"
Star Signs, or someone may say that the "Clouds look angry" or "The Hand Of God" etc.
It is a natural cognitive tendency, often used to understand and comprehend or interact with events which happen within your immediate and extended world.
Humor?
They can also be used in humor, for example, in the TV series F-Troop, someone asks the Chief Wild Eagle (Frank DeKova) which way to the "Fort"? to which the Chief answers "turn left at the rock that looks like a bear and then turn right at the bear that looks like a rock," (Note: I do not remember the exact (left or right) quote as it has been approximately 60 years since that episode aired (1965-1967)).
How Do We Resolve This?
To understand the "Celestial Family Conundrum" you must first understand the following.
Remember this: The following is very important.
Jacobs Ladder
When Jacob was going to "Haran"
, he had a vision while he slept one night, of angels going up and down a ladder.
* ANGEL comes from the Greek word ἄγγελος (angelos) and literally means "Messenger" and not half naked women with wings.
In Hebrew, the word מלאך Mal'ach also means Messenger and is closely associated with the word King מלך.
In Judaism, the word "King" is used to represent "God" (HaShem), and we are seen as "His" subjects - and an Angel is thus seen as a messenger from the King.
Also, anything "can be" a messenger - including an asteroid, meteorite, interloping sun or planet - even a wooden spoon (when your parents are cranky).
For example, if you go near a Bee hive or a hornets nest without protective clothing, you will very quickly get "The message".
There is an old Mayan saying, "The sting of a bee may bring enlightenment".
Like the Vedic 21 Taras where Tara (तारा) means "Star" (Sun) in Sanskrit.
Tara is also a feminine noun, derived from the Sanskrit verbal root TR {तॄ} meaning "to cross" and the English cognate is "traverse" or "Transient"
This is why the Taras are depicted as goddesses (women).
These heavenly messengers are anthropomorphized and taught to the common people as deities to worship.
However, the Monks are (eventually) taught the full story of these Taras and what they represent and the dangers that most of them pose.
This is why most of your ancient "gods" are "Astrological"
objects, they are literally messengers when you understand them in the correct context.
"The Celestial Family" ↟↟
You may say that there is a separation because of the multiple layers, but that would be incorrect because the One Above is connected to and supports the One Below and these layers are what is considered "The Celestial Family".
This "Celestial Family" as described in "Grades" or "Levels" is better described on the "Madrigot"
page. Madrigot is the original word use to describe these levels.
First the example, then the explanation.
An example I was given was this.
Think of creation like the ocean.
The densest brine (salt) is at the bottom of the ocean and there are layers all the way to the top where the fresh water is connected to the ocean but "not" actually part of the ocean.
Now you may argue that the ocean goes "down" while heaven is "up" but you would be mistaken.
Now the explanation.
You see, we are taught that heaven is UP when in fact it is IN.
Everything comes from within, the energy which supports and maintains atoms comes from within.
There is a Buddhist teaching which is also taught in Kabbalah which says, "in order to go UP, you must first go Down".
What does that mean?
The answer is not a lesson for beginners because of the mental strain imposed on those who are not educated in the finer points of esoteric knowledge.
The ones who have the most issues are those who think that they have all the answers.
Societies "truths" are like pouring water ON to a glass cup. The cup gets wet but does not contain much more than superstitious residue.
The student must have their mind "tempered" with learning and knowledge in order for the bridge of their mind to carry the weight of truths which will be thrust upon them.
Then, the real truth is like pouring molten metal into a glass cup but this time, the glass has been "tempered" so as to withstand the heat and intensity.
For those of you with a curious mind, you may be interested in the oceans
"Brine Pools" 
and even more fascinating are
"Brinicles".
Before destruction can be relegated to this planet, it must be agreed on all levels that the people on the planet have "sinned" beyond repair - for example, the "Sodom Prophecy".
.
This destruction can be small or big. Small like Sodom or big like Lord Kalki and the White Brother "Prophecies". 
This Sodom Prophecy is the main reason why so many previous "Civilizations"
were destroyed - either "in part" or completely.
This "Celestial Family" was the first "Quality Control" system ever put in place.
This is also the meaning of "In our likeness and in our image..."
All levels had to be in agreeance.
This simple statement shows that while The Creator has the power and capacity to create everything, the fail safe quality control aspect is in place as a precaution.
It is called leading by example.
Think or it like having a large company with "Board Members" deciding the direction and fate of the company.
If you can wrap your head around that, then congratulations, you are on a higher soul level than most.
The main sin was (is) called the "corruption of flesh" (***) and is directly related to the "Sodom Prophecy". 
(***) Book of Genesis (chapter 7), Sefer Zohar (Noah chapter) + Genesis 19 (Sodom).
The reason that this is a "sin" is because of the associated energies associated with specific parts of the body.
Another point is that excrement is "the furthest" away from any kind of Divine Energy and this is why the Rabbi's of the Talmud era stipulated that when you relieve yourself, you should "bury" your deposit - otherwise Divine Protection is removed from you.
In this instance and as stated above, this "Celestial Family" refers to the spiritual levels above our (often referred to as The Heavens) and it is also Kabbalistically referred to as the "Trunk of the Tree" or YHVH (Yod Hey Vav Hey).
This Celestial alignment is often misrepresented in movies, mythology and some ancient texts as an alignment of "The Planets" and this is because the ancients often referred to the planets and interloping suns as gods so over time, the original explanation and understanding of the true description of the Celestial Family became corrupted - see "Astrological".
for a greater explanation of how "deities" are associated with planets, suns and other celestial objects. You may be surprised at what you read.
