Invoking Angels

Invoking Angels, Rabbi David A. Cooper, Sounds True, 2006

This book looks at the process of invoking angels, bringing about blessings and guidance from the Divine at any time. Through a Jewish perspective, the author uses sacred texts to show how to connect with a broad number of angels to access their divine characteristics. The ultimate goal is to reach a new level of consciousness where the reader can experience the presence of the Divine in nearly every encounter.

Since there are a nearly infinite number of angels, the author concentrates on some of the "major" angels, including Sandalphon and Metatron, the Angel of Death and Archangels Michael, Raphael and Gabriel. The CD that accompanies this book includes a number of guided meditations that get into How To Do It.

I must be the wrong person to review religion/spirituality books like this (maybe I am not spiritual enough), because this is not the first such book that I have had a hard time "getting." Absolutely no disrespect is meant toward the book or the author. I am sure that this book has helped, and will help, a lot of people. Perhaps some of us are meant to stay on the outside, looking in.
