I was disappointed by the book, though its subject is absolutely of top interest to me.

I did not find it at all readable and did not get through it.

The author tells us of her “”discarnate guide”, Gildas, who communicates with her daily, but as far as I could see we are not given the benefit of Gildas’ wisdom.

There is at least one exercise in each chapter but I did not find these appealing.

We’re told that we all have a guardian angel and at least one guide.

There are three main angelic realms and each realm has three sub—divisions.

The angels closest to the divine energy are called Heavenly Counsellors.

There are highly evolved angels called Seraphim, “true light workers” called Cherubim, and Thrones, who are “the angelic overseers” of each planet. Each planet has it own throne.

The next angelic realm is composed of Heavenly Governors, whose sub-divisions are Dominions, Virtues and Powers.

The third angelic realm is the Messengers, whose sub-divisions are the Principalities, the Archangels and ”Angels without other titles”.

As regards Lucifer, the author does not see him as a bringer of evil, but as “the closest companion to the human journey”. Lucifer made an important sacrifice in order to journey with us.
