Conjuring Archangel: Chronicle of a Journey on the Path

Publisher Marketing: Caught between the cold nihilism of modern science and the discredited superstitions of established religion, secular society is bereft of solace in the face of human misery. But we can find the ultimate meaning of life. Such is the impetus for Conjuring Archangel, an effort to make the remote, inscrutable precepts and practices of Buddhism accessible to the earnest seeker. Written entirely in dialogue between a woman and her Spirit Guide who calls himself Archangel, the story is a chronicle of the path to enlightenment discovered through the woman's daily meditation and their nightly discussions. As it informs and instructs, the conversation is at times inspirational, devotional, humorous, and even sensual, while a charming relationship slowly develops between master and student. The topics explored deal with the very questions so troubling to modern minds: Is there a soul that leaves the body at death? Is it possible to experience the timeless state through meditation? Why do good people suffer? These concerns and more are discussed in a way that will be meaningful not only to those already imbued with Buddhism, but also to anyone newly interested who is seeking an authentic spiritual experience.
