My Comments:
The book is alright if you have some spare time, but not amazing. The tone kept coming across as ‘uppity’. A few books I have read do that where the author pokes fun at the average person, but I’m not be sure if I am part of that audience or not. Maybe your supposed to drink a fine wine and insult the wine as you read this book and enjoy picking apart ideas about angels.
I would like Harold’s opinion on Graham Hancock’s Angel idea in Supernatural. I don’t fully remember, but something like ancient pictures of snakes with wings, being adapted to people with bird heads and wings, finally becoming people with wings, as the origin of angels. The idea seemed alright, but you would have to read Graham’s book for the full idea. The Supernatural book is overly massive and this Fallen Angels book is overly tiny.
Or the Robert Monroe Far Journeys series… spoiler alert, but his guardian angel turned out to be himself in an alternate simultaneous future life.
Gary Renard’s, the A Course in Miracles teacher, angel also turned out to be himself from his next ascended master lifetime….
Maybe that is the trend for a person’s guardian angel. Who has more to benefit from your spiritual development than your own supposedly more spiritually developed future self?
