To Susan and Leslie, two beautiful angels
who have appeared in this life as my precious daughters.
Thank you.

To my wife, Jan, for the loving encouragement to write this book, for the explorations into the angelic kingdom that we took together, and for the hours of research assistance that she providedincluding the sharing of her angel experiences.

To Coe Savage, for her professional expertise and knowledge of the ancient sciences of energies, archetypes, and symbols and for always being there to answer questions and share her understanding.

To the members of the international Quartus Society, for opening themselves and proving that working with the Angels can be an exciting adventure in the process of reawakening.

For he will give his angels charge of you to guard you in all your ways.

PSALMS 91:11

The swirling fog began to dissipate, and I could see the flicker of a light aheada darting, pulsating glow resembling a firefly. I paused for a moment to observe, and the tiny flare expanded in size and appeared as a small full moon touching the earth. As I moved closer to the radiance, it suddenly changed into a vertical beam, a pillar of transparent light.

Are you the angel I am seeking? I asked.

The soft yet powerful feminine voice replied, I am the Angel of Creative Wisdom.

Do you have a name?

Some have called me Isis, she said, and with those words the pillar of light slowly materialized to reveal the face and form of a beautiful woman wearing a flowing white robe trimmed in gold. Why have you come? she asked.

I seek Greater Wisdom. It is my understanding that you, the Angel of Creative Wisdom, are the channel, the voice, for my Master Self. I know that within my higher nature I embody the wisdom of the ages, yet in my present state of consciousness I am sometimes confused. My thinking has become scattered, which has resulted in errors of judgment. So I have come to ask you what I can do to open the Gates of Wisdom and release that energy to flow freely in my mind and heart.

She said, You cannot manipulate the Gates. The Greater Wisdom is eternally flowing from above to the receptacle I am, yet I can only give you what you are, for I must follow the sound of your note and harmonize with your energy, even if the tone is restrictive.

I do not understand, I said.

She gave me a flute. Play a note, she instructed.

I placed the instrument to my lips, blew across the hole while pressing a key, and a tone was sounded. Immediately I heard the same vibration emanating from the fullness of her presence, the sound seeming to fill all space.

She said, Divine wisdom has its own note, truly a chord with its own frequency, and as this cycle of life began, my being was attuned to that vibration, which produced the perfect distribution of the Wisdom-Energy through your egoless consciousness, a consciousness in perfect harmonic relation to mine. But in time you changed the tone, and as I am subjective to you, I had no choice but to follow your pitch, which became increasingly discordant. From a cosmic perspective you committed adultery with me. I was the victim of your adulteration; with your energy projections you made me inferior, impure.

I was stunned by this revelation, and it took me a moment to regain my equilibrium. What can I do? How can I rectify the situation?

Play the right note, she said with a touch of impatience in her voice. Your present sounds are the result of failing to unite the force of love with the energies of will and understanding, and you are applying what you know to the phenomenal world of effects rather than to the inner world of cause. You are highly mental, and such individuals are outer directed, basing decisions on reasoning and rational thinking. Thus the goal is always to attack the illusionbut the opposite of illusion is intuition.

She touched the top of my head, and suddenly I was in a whirlpool of color and sound, falling free through spinning faces, symbols, and numbers. I could hear her voice in the distance: Regardless of what your mind tells you, what does your intuition say?

My career in the corporate world passed before me, pausing at intervals to show a particular scene with two paths superimposed over the picture. I was asked again, Regardless of what your mind tells you, what does your intuition say? And then I heard two voices, one harsh and hurried, the other soft and gentlecrossed telephone wires with two parties speakingand on the screen I was walking the particular path that I had chosen, and I saw the results of that decision. Then instantly the scene changed, and I was shown what would have happened if I had listened to the other voice and chosen the different path. The movie with two endings continued, moving from business to family life to social encounters to the satisfaction of personal desires.

Open your eyes, she said.

She was standing before me again in all her radiant splendor. Do you understand, she asked, that in many of the scenes you were misinterpreting an outer situationthat you were seeing through false eyes something that did not exist? Through the vibrations in your consciousness you were sending me signals of hostility toward your work, antipathy regarding certain aspects of your family life, an aversion to many people, and even a mild revulsion to your world in general. You forced these sour notes on me, notes that were the antonyms of love, which removed one of the tones of my harmonious chord and produced discordance for you.

I opened my mouth to say something, but she held up her hand and continued. You also adulterated another splendid tone when you let strength of purpose and determination be replaced with irresolution and vacillation. You have free use of divine will, a truth that you certainly forgot. And the third tone of my chord, the light of understanding, was dominated with insensitivity, aloofness, and unresponsiveness, and I had no choice but to replay these defects on the screen of your world.

You are saying that your note is actually a chord made up of three tonesLove, Will, and Understandingand that when these tones are blended, the sound of wisdom is heard?

Yes! Wisdom in the form of sudden insights, a sharpened intuitive sense, the guidance to solve specific problems, and the imparting of spiritual truths for the unfolding of consciousness.

I asked, What would be the quickest way for me to reclaim the divine chord of wisdom and free you to do the work that you were created to do?

Know your true nature and hold your mind focused on that highest aspect of your being until it is realized. The more you are infused with the energy of your divine mind, the greater the restoration of the chord of wisdom. I would also suggest that you work with the powers of Love, Will, and Understandingthe specific energies represented by these angelsto harmonize your consciousness with the reality of my energy. Just remember that Wisdom is one of the foundation stones of mastery in your world.
