you find it in yourself. There is someone who will carry you when you can’t walk another step.
The archangels, your spiritual siblings, will never leave your side. By divine law, they are bound to us, as all have taken vows to fulfill their divine purpose, which includes helping us humans fulfill ours.

chapter two
ANGELS ALL AROUND US
Everyone has the ability to connect with their angels on some level. I believe that every human was bestowed with the gift of intuition, a gift that comes in myriad shapes, colors, and sizes. The extent of one’s intuition varies as greatly as the people in the world, and I’m certain that no two gifts are exactly alike, mostly due to the understanding that intuition is a purely subjective mechanism. Whispers from the divine are filtered through our own human thoughts, emotions, and desires, and because of this, I feel it will be a very long time before the skill can be measured by science. There are just too many variables to take into account.
Still, I know from nearly twenty years of experience that intuition is very real and very powerful; and if honed properly, it can help you to build an intimately close and lasting relationship with the archangels—the angels to whom Heaven delegated the task of working directly with humans.
No doubt you’ve seen many a book that covers the topic of angel communication. You may have even stumbled across my previous works, Azrael Loves Chocolate, Michael’s A Jock and The Angel Code . Both books present angels in a practical, tangible way that makes it easier for us to accept our gift of intuition and to better understand and get to know the angels. Doing so can help us to initiate and facilitate a deeper, more meaningful connection with the divine.
But my purpose doesn’t stop there.
As you read previously, a close relationship with the angels can be very much like a close relationship with family. Most days you love them and welcome their presence, but other days you just want to be alone. Regardless, I feel that establishing a conscious connection with the divine can yield invaluable insight and wisdom. For as obstinate as I’ve been and for as flustered as I’ve been with life circumstances in the past, there is one thing I can never deny: the angels have always brought to my attention the reasons that I had to endure such difficult challenges. Always. Without them and their commitment to remain by my side, I would not have made it this far. So I can say with complete conviction that we as humans should seek to establish and foster a relationship with our cosmic siblings. While I don’t believe it will make your life easier by any means, it will make life easier to grasp. Also, you will cease to merely exist and go through day-to-day routines, and will begin to live and see purpose and meaning in everything you do and everything around you.
Better still, it can lead to an increased awareness and understanding of yourself. Engaging the archangels helps one’s eyes to open to the realities, as well as the illusions, we humans tussle with every day. And when you seek out the divine wisdom of these celestial hosts, it helps you to better understand the whys and hows that vex us in daily life.
When getting to know the angels, you want to go beyond what you may have read in typical “how to talk to an angel” books. This is not about simply invoking or summoning the angels to help us in a crisis. We’re looking to nurture a much deeper, more personal connection where we will truly be able to recognize the angels as something more than intangible creatures that fly among us unseen. We want to be able to recognize them for what they truly are—our siblings, our family in spirit, who are here to help guide us through each and every experience we encounter, no matter how stubborn we may be and no matter how unhappy we may be with the spiritual path we’re currently on.
