"The visualizations here draw their imagery from classical
grimoires and Qabalistic philosophy. Plus, they have a specific and
useful goal. Each visualization takes you on a journey into the
symbolic realm of an archangel, where you are introduced to the
entity's sigils and symbols and other sacred imagery before
encountering the archangel himself. Each visualization builds upon
those before it, until the aspirant has been led through the seven
circles of heaven and has established a personal link to the
archangel that governs each one. At the end, the aspirant will have
learned to recognize the images, seals and symbols they will
encounter in the Solomonic and other advanced systems of angel
summoning. Such guided visualizations are certainly absent from the
medieval texts about angels. So, why should I urge anyone who
wishes to work with angels - even Solomonic practitioners - to
follow the instructions in this book? Simply put, this book is
based upon the same principle I described above: safely
establishing first contact. It accomplishes this without resort to
the full-fledged summoning ceremonies intended to call the angel
down to the physical plane - an advanced practice the grimoires
tend to jump into without preamble. This book even includes simple
rituals by which you can submit petitions to the archangels in
times of need - and these rituals are not entirely removed from the
methods of the grimoires. Therefore, working through the steps
outlined in this book can serve as a wonderful bridge between
"square one" and the fully adept practices of angelic summoning.":
From Aaron Leitch's Preface
Here is the revealing underground classic, a work that stands beside the "Seth" books as a delightful and invaluable guide to our inner spirit and our outer world. Emmanuel speaks to us through Pat Rodegast and shares his wisdom and insights on all aspects of life. Beautifully written and illustrated, Emmanuel's Book I is to be treasured, enjoyed and passed on to a friend. Emmanuel says: "The gifts I wish to give you are my deepest love, the safety of truth, the wisdom of the universe and the reality of God . . . . The issue of whether there is a Greater Reality or not, for me at least, has been settled. I know that there is. So I will speak to you from the knowing that I possess."
Ram Dass, in the introduction, says: "Being with Emmanuel one comes to appreciate the vast evolutionary context in which our lives are being lived . . . And at each moment we are at just the right place in the journey. As Emmanuel points out, 'Who you are is a necessary step to being who you will be.'"
