Angels are in the life and light of God they are eternal beings and where do you think they get the life and light and how can they be eternal without God. One day God shall be all in all, and all things in heaven and earth will be in him.

Ephesians 1:10
That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
All things in heaven IN CHRIST? would that include angels in CHRIST? Are not angels part of the all things created in heaven in Christ?
Ok, well let's clear this up. Are you speaking of
unity (as this passage is speaking of) or
union? Usually the phrase "in Christ" is referring to
union, not unity (scripturally and theologically speaking). This scripture is speaking of unity, however, and in particular is focusing on Christ as the head of everything - everything will come into his kingdom - all nations, angels, all of creation come into his kingdom (united into his Kingdom) - but that's as far as it goes (as glorious as that is). It does not indicate UNION with him, which is specifically and particularly reserved for the Church. It would be like saying that if I conquered a country that country becomes my queen, but that's not at all what the scriptures are saying - we are 'heirs' with Christ and the angels are not 'heirs' (there's no scripture that says that).
"toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ—the things in heaven and the things on earth." (Ephesians 1:10 NET)
"as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth." (Ephesians 1:10 ESV)
This seems to point to the New Heavens and New Earth coming together at the
eschaton, all united under Christ's rule and reign, but in no way does this indicate that all creation enjoys union with him and does not say angels will also be the Bride of Christ. Based on all of the NT and the ideas showed in the OT around Israel, only the Church is the Bride of Christ and enjoy union with him, while all else may be in unity with the church and Christ.

Ephesians 3:9
And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:"
All things even angels were created by Christ
Yes they were - but that doesn't mean all things are
in Christ, unless you're a pantheist or panentheist, or unless you're referring to unity and not union.

Genesis 32:1
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
What do you think the expression angels
OF God means? How are they
OF GOD?
OF God means OF God, not IN God.

Psalm 103:20
"Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word."
Matthew 13:41
The Son of man shall send forth his angels..."
Notice they are HIS angels. What does HIS mean here?
That they are HIS, but that does not mean IN.
Revelation 22:9
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."
Notice the angel is OF the prophets, How does a prophet speak? unless he is in God and God in him?
"A fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets" really does not have to mean any union with Christ is going on, and to make it say that there need to be other scriptures which point to that, which there are not (yours quoted above do not say this at all). Angels are messengers - give them a message and they deliver it. I really think you're reading this scripture the wrong way.
Hebrews 1:6
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him."
and all acceptable worship is now in the spirit, so are the angels in the spirit? and if so what does that mean to be IN the spirit?
No, the angels are not in the Holy Spirit and I've never read any verse that says as such. This verse is speaking about how Jesus is more superior to angels and how God says angels must worship him. To apply what Jesus said about worshipping in Spirit and Truth in John 4:23 to angels is just taking the scriptures further than they reveal.
Angels are sons of God. And believers are called sons of God. How can we be sons of God unless Gods Light is in us. Is Gods light in angels?
God's light can be in both but that does not mean that the angels are in union with God. Jesus is THE Son of God and the incarnation points to him being 100 percent divine and 100 percent human. But the result of what you are saying here can make him an angel too, Is Jesus 100 percent human, 100 percent divine, and also 100 percent angel? Because the implication of this kind of teaching of union between Christ and angels would force you to have to go that direction - and yet Hebrews 1 really seems to go against that kind of thinking.
and Christ is the Word of God and all things were made by him, and the angels have spoken the word of God and so "in Him was life", are angels in LIFE? if so they are in him also.
No, there's no reason to go that step to say they are in him - in union with him. Angels are "ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation" (Hebrews 1:14) and that's as far as the scriptures reveal. To include them as "in Him" means to include them in the Bride of Christ, and to include them as part of the Church. If you want to go this way you are inventing your own teaching that is nowhere in the scriptures, and simply nowhere in orthodox Christian teaching - Arminian or Calvinist. What you are bordering on might actually sound more like some of Origen's ideas.
