No International Orders About the Book: My goal in writing books is to offer information that I think and feel that the angels want us to know, opposed to information on the nature of angels themselves. You may wonder how I would know what the angels want us to know. Well, it is by no magical trick. It is by studying spiritual law, by noticing how my heart responds when I meditate, contemplate, pray about, and think on the angels. I receive a sense of knowing sometimes that I would never ruin with an explanation. I am tired of people trying to flatten everything out so they can see ahead. My favorite view is the one with peaks and valleys to climb and explore. I don't want a flat life, I don't want to be a "flatliner". I don't want everything ex-plained. I want to learn about life with the angels and by choosing that I accept all of the ups and downs, the bright colors, the dark nights, the tears and the laughter. I am also quite open to the possibility that maybe I don't know what the angels want us to know, in other words I don't want to get stuck with one concept of knowing the angels or think of myself as providing a new belief system that people can run around with. One guiding principle I go by is that our thought-filled mind can sometimes throw us off our track, in other words the heart knows the most about love and who we are. The catch is, that it is difficult to use words to describe what the heart says to us, because words are for minds mostly. So keep all this "in mind" and let it settle in your heart, for your heart will let you know what information is most valuable to you. Right now I feel that the angels want us to know about and use prayer in our lives. The goal of a spiritual life is integration and wholeness. Prayer leads us to this point, because it doesn't simply work on the outer planes but starts to change us from within. In this book I want to explore the realm of spiritual alchemy that gives us a strong spiritual foundation based on the Highest Power in the Universe. Much of this has to do with our interior life, for the truth lives within us, the Light shines from our core - our heart. Our soul is our depth. When we begin to feel comfortable with the inner dimensions of our being, then we will begin to truly feel whole. The journey within takes time, patience, hope, gratitude and a personal understanding of the Great Creator. And, the greatest truth is, that after we have gone within and transformed our own lead to gold, we must come out into the light and share our love with the world holding the pure intention in our hearts of helping God and the angels transform the lead of the world's sorrow into hope and right living. The following is a mini tour of the chapter concepts in the book. Prayer strengthens our devotion to God. With our devotion we get the spiritual help of the angels and understand the Light in our hearts. The angels teach us about gratitude which brings us grace for our destiny. When we know and trust that there is a bigger picture (God & angels) we begin to favor humility. Which allows us to go deeper into our psyche and do our inner work. Leading us to mental peace. When we have mental peace we can achieve a center which gives us courage and personal power. When we have a strong center we can practice true loving behavior and generosity. Then we can share our prayer alchemy and create positive synergy, strong friendships, and a chance to share our love with the world. We will become prayer in action. [Return to Home | Books | Top]
