In Search of Authorities
“And the world split in two…”
This quote from an old song perfectly captures the state I found myself in after encountering Angels.
One part of me, the researcher, was eager to open the door to this new, unexplored world as wide as possible. The other part resisted with all its might, trying to convince me that Angels were nothing but fabrications, hallucinations, and autosuggestions, both for myself and my clients.
Despite the fact that working with Angels started to bring tangible results to my clients—problems in their lives were being resolved, their health was improving—it was extremely difficult for me to believe and accept this as reality.
I can’t say I was a die-hard materialist. But I held enough convictions to feel a strong internal conflict and struggle with this new reality.
I was plagued with constant doubts about what I was observing in my work, doubts about my actions and the results of those actions. As I thought at the time, to deal with these doubts, I needed convincing evidence from authoritative sources, confirmations from respected authorities that Angels were real beings and that human interaction with Angels was not just a figment of my imagination, but a perfectly possible phenomenon.
I began my search for authoritative opinions on Angels by exploring the internet.
Many hours spent studying information on various websites gradually led me to a disheartening conclusion: if you take the information about Angels on the internet seriously, there’s a real risk of ending up in a mental institution.
Here’s just a small sample of the descriptions of Angels I encountered online: “Evil, lustful, angry, red, sexual, with black wings, with iron wings, with a scorched wing, warlike, snowy, crying, fiery, cruel, with red eyes, avenging angels, headless angel, mad, blue-eyed…”
Agree, who in their right mind would take this informational “vinaigrette” at face value?
I had to admit that my Angel was right when they said to me, “Most of the current people who talk about Angels are, as you say, hyping up the topic. There is very little simple, understandable, and practical information.”
This mishmash of opinions, myths, conjectures, and outright fantasies prompted me to shift my focus to truly authoritative sources. Sources that are significant and respected by a large number of people.
I immersed myself in searching for mentions of Angels in the Bible and the Quran.
The time I spent studying the Holy Books was not wasted.
Indeed, I found many texts in the Bible and the Quran where Angels were mentioned, described, or where there was talk of human interaction with them. Angels were participants in significant events described in the Holy Scriptures.
Thanks to these texts, I received the much-needed confirmation that people knew about Angels in ancient times and that the history of relationship with them is quite old.
It has become clear that encounters with my clients’ Angels, including my own, are not something imagined (or mystical). Rather, they represent a return to relationships that, while forgotten, have previously existed with these beings.
And yes, this somewhat alleviated my doubts, but it did not eliminate them entirely.
One thing about the texts in the Bible and the Quran troubled me.
It seemed to me that the texts mainly spoke about Angels performing either religious functions or interacting with chosen or holy people. Nowhere did I find descriptions of how an ordinary person, a commoner, could turn to their Angel for help in solving everyday problems or, say, how to improve their health with the help of their Angel.
I do not claim to have the ultimate truth, but my impression after familiarizing myself with the texts from the Bible and the Quran was that direct communication with Angels was only for special people. It was the lot of saints, the chosen ones, and so on. (I might be wrong, as my experience and the time I spent studying the Holy Scriptures are clearly insufficient for categorical judgments).
It troubled me that this did not align with my experience from my research.
Neither I nor my clients were saints or chosen ones. We were the most ordinary people. Yet each of us had an Angel or Angels, and we communicated with them as with our closest friends. And we received quite tangible help from them in matters, their protection. Angels helped us cope with illnesses and improve our health. And much more, which will also be discussed in this book.
So, although researching mentions of Angels in the Bible and the Quran reduced my doubts and lessened the intensity of my internal conflict with reality, something was clearly missing.
I felt the need to find additional sources of information about Angels. Sources that spoke about the interaction of ordinary people with these beings. And preferably, that this interaction was of a practical, applicable nature.
An inspiring discovery for me was the book “Spirit Releasement Therapy” by American doctor William Baldwin.
I express my sincere respect and gratitude to him for his research and the book he wrote based on it.
In this book, among other things, the doctor shared his personal experience and the experience of his patients working with Angels. And what was important to me was that this experience had a practical character.
Mr. Baldwin described his sessions with patients interacting with Angels. These sessions were aimed at solving practical problems, not at gaining some esoteric experience. He described what was done by him or his patients and what the results of these actions were.
Thanks to this, the information from his book became the basis for numerous experiments in my work with clients and their Angels. After all, as before, I was committed to testing new information in practice.
By reproducing Dr. Baldwin’s methods and approaches in working with my own clients, I came to understand two significant points for me.
First, there is nothing supernatural or mystical about communicating and interacting with Angels. It is a normal, natural phenomenon, which, moreover, offers substantial benefits in terms of a person’s ability to cope with their daily life challenges.
Second, my doubts about myself and my work turned out to be merely a consequence of my limited worldview and fear of stepping beyond the accepted stereotypes.
I realized that my need for information from authoritative sources was something akin to a child’s need for a walker—just a necessity for initial support in my first steps in a new, unexplored direction.
I was yet to gain confidence in my ability to move forward on the chosen path.
