The Book of Angels: Dreams, Signs, Meditation - The Hidden Secrets
Preface by Blanaid Rensch In this day and age of individualism, consumerism, materialism and fundamentalism, how wonderful it is to have been guided towards a practical philosophy that leads to spiritual autonomy, self-responsibility and the development of qualities, virtues and powers in their purest form. For those of you who, like me, have been seeking a workable and easily applicable spirituality, The Traditional Study of Angels is for you. I rejected the rather rigid faith of my childhood (for which I am now very grateful). I read book after book and attended lecture after lecture. I thought Id found what I was looking for only to feel disappointed after a while because the apparently perfect recipe hadnt made me a better person, nor had it brought me long lasting happiness. I had the feeling I was going around in circles until I came across The Traditional Study of Angels and I went to one of Christianes inspiring lectures. There, I learned that repeating the name of an Angel (no, not a little winged cherub but a symbol of Divine, uplifting Energy and a Divine State of Conscience) would set off dreams. Those dreams would then guide my conscience and give deep meaning to my life. Eventually, they would set me on the long journey towards Enlightenment. I decided to give it a try. Indeed, not only did I experience striking coincidences, but I also started dreaming frequently. The more I repeated the name of an Angel during the day, the more dreams I received at night. Noting down my dreams and studying them, while applying the logical, accessible language of symbols, I began to slowly see the sense of some of my dreams. I began to understand their message (some immediately, some after long meditation, while others still remain a mystery to me). I finally began to see hitherto hidden and repressed parts of myself. Its not always easy. It requires perseverance, self-discipline, effort and even courage, but it is clearly so instructive and enlightening that ever since that first encounter, I have been repeating the Names of the 72 Angels in order to gain access to information about myself, to help make the right decisions, to see my faults, flaws and distortions, to cleanse the distorted aspects that are revealed and to reinforce the qualitative aspect of that same distortion. The hope is that I shall one day truly transcend these distortions of mine and go on to develop pure qualities. Oh! The happiness that comes from a better understanding of the Universe and our purpose here on Earth (the perfect school for us) is so fulfilling that the slightest task can become a source of joy because it is part of our Divine Work and a way of improving our soul, provided we make that our intention. Our personal soul computer can be totally reprogrammed from our conscious reality, right down to our deepest unconsciousness, which is revealed to us through dreams, symbols, synchronicities and signs in our everyday lives. At last, life makes sense and the progress I make along this spiritual path depends entirely on my efforts, my Work and whatever Up Above has planned for me. I cannot recommend The Traditional Study of Angels highly enough. Never before have I encountered such a practical, uplifting method. It leads us from one discovery to the next according to our own personal rhythm and capacity for understanding. Kaya and Christianes devotion to passing on this Knowledge is a gift beyond measure. The resulting spiritual autonomy provides us with an eternal key to the Divine Knowledge and Truth that lies locked within us.

I had a family, a home, and a job I enjoyed that allowed me to combine motherhood and a profession. I wondered what could possibly inspire me now. Well, I encountered the Angels and life has become a challenging, wonder-filled adventure where the bad moments, the nightmares, the falls from pride, the often shameful awakenings along with the surprising synchronicities, the awe inspiring dreams and visions and unexpected gifts turning up out of the blue lead to the knowledge that I am now empowered to cleanse my faults, purify my flaws, pay off some of my debts, transcend my distortions and develop pure qualities to rediscover my Divine self and to fulfill my purpose here on Earth. Detoxifying is not always very pleasant, but the benefits gained lead us to dreams beyond our imagination. As I approach 50, I can laugh at my 40 year-old self for I now have so many dreams itll take all this life for them to be fulfilled! To Kaya, Christiane and Kasara, the UCM team and all the volunteers, my sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude for your selfless devotion, inspiring generosity and pure love for the Divine. To all of you who decide to start working on yourselves with The Traditional Study of Angel, for those of you who start studying at the Universe/City Mikal, rest assured, you are about to embark on the most marvelous journey of discovery: discovery of yourself and discovery of the Divine Laws that govern the Universe and Knowledge of that perfect Cosmic Intelligence, the Divine Hierarchy, God Himself. --Preface by Blanaid Rensch (part II)
