From the Back Cover En 1943, alors que la Hongrie n'est encore qu'au bord de la guerre, quatre jeunes gens - Hanna, Lili, Joseph et Gitta - décident d'installer leur atelier de décoration dans un petit village, pour y vivre une vie plus attentive à l'essentiel. Si une même faim spirituelle les rapproche, aucun d'entre eux, pourtant, n'a jamais pratiqué sa religion. Le jour où ils entreprennent de faire le point par écrit sur leurs problèmes personnels, Gitta se dérobe, se réfugie derrière des banalités. Hanna tout d'abord s'en irrite, puis a juste le temps de prévenir son amie - " Attention, ce n'est plus moi qui parle ! " - avant de prononcer, en toute conscience, des paroles qui manifestement ne peuvent lui appartenir. Pendant dix-sept mois, des forces de Lumière - que les quatre amis appelleront " Anges " ou " Maîtres intérieurs " - s'exprimeront par la bouche de Hanna. Dix-sept mois qui deviendront de plus en plus dramatiques : juifs tous trois, Joseph, Lili et Hanna partiront pour les camps de la mort. Seize ans plus tard Gitta, la seule survivante, pourra enfin emporter en France les petits cahiers où avait été consigné mot par mot, lors de chaque rencontre, ce véritable " reportage sur une expérience spirituelle ". L'intégralité des Dialogues est ici présentée pour la première fois, dans une traduction revue et augmentée de nombreux commentaires par Gitta Mallasz. In 1943, 4 young men move to a village in Hungary. Spiritual hunger brings them together but none has ever practiced his religion. They decide to write down their personal problems. Then the Forces of Light - "angels" or "Interior Masters" - will speak through the mouth of Hanna. After 17 mo. Joseph, Hanna and Lily leave for the death camps. 16 yrs later Gitta, the only survivor, finds the small notebooks where the story about a spiritual experience was recorded. The full Dialogues is presented here for the first time, translated, revised and expanded by Gitta Mallasz.
This is one of my favourites. A beautiful description of the inner path of four young artists, and their meeting with their angels. (I actually have the hungarian original, being a hungarian)
How can one review a book that speaks truth? How does one exert their own opinion and world philosophy on radiant hope and light, that encompasses so much more than our own existence.
The best reaction to books like this and A Course In Miracles is to accept and practice.
That said, one of my favorite quotes is "Ask only from Heaven; to the earth, give!" And I have many, many quotes underlined.
A lady from my Facebook-based INFJ group recommended this book to me one day after I vented my disappointment concerning a friendship gone sour.
The premise is that four friends meet together every Friday, during WWII, to talk to and hear from angels from Heaven. One of the women relays messages from each of the other friends' guardian angels while Gitta, the author, records them. Eventually, three of the four friends are killed in concentration camps, but Gitta manages to save most of the notes which she subsequently publishes.
What I took from the many wisdom nuggets was mainly that we often rush through life without savoring each moment. Unhappiness is caused by not living our purpose. When we surrender to the purpose hidden in all actions, we will be doing the will of God. Distraction comes when we aren't aligning out purpose with His. When we are focused, we are less aware of ourselves and in the "flow" of HIs will.

Un livre assez intriguant, qui soulève beaucoup de questions. Le texte est parfois très clair, parfois énigmatique. En fait, souvent énigmatique. Je dirais même qu'on n'y comprend rien la plupart du temps.
Dans ce sens, cela peut inciter à laisser le livre de côté et ne plus l'ouvrir...
Paradoxalement, les dialogues éveillent finement la curiosité.
Les textes narratifs de Gitta Mallasz qui ponctuent quelques fois les dialogues avec l'Ange sont bouleversants car ils nous plongent dans l'ambiance de la Hongrie durant la seconde guerre mondiale.
La fin est déchirante.
Je reste perplexe après cette étrange lecture. Mais je peux dire que j'ai parfois eu l'impression que le texte répondait à mes propres questions dans les moments les plus justes de ma vie. C'est-à-dire que les réponses tombaient parfaitement.
It's hard to believe stories like this. Maybe it happened. Maybe it was misinterpreted. Maybe it's a complete fabrication. Who knows.
People are looking for answers and we all relate to the questions, but the answers were weird. They were puzzles more than answers. And frankly, I don't believe in some of the answers they gave.
However, whatever answers they received gave them strength enough to get through the Holocaust and for that I respect what was said. Miracles did happen and some people were spiritually stronger than others. For that I'm glad for these people.
This is not an easy or comforting book, but it is a powerful one. Talking with Angels presents spiritual teachings that are direct, uncompromising, and deeply challenging. Rather than offering reassurance, it asks the reader to take responsibility for attention, for work, for love, and for how one lives.
The dialogue format feels stark and at times severe, but there is a deep honesty and reverence beneath it. This is a book I don’t rush through or casually recommend, it’s something to sit with, return to, and absorb slowly. Profound, demanding, and quietly transformative.
In the early days of World War II, something remarkable happened. A group of friends were contacted by an angel and received earth-shaking messages for years. This is channeling before channeling was a "thing." The messages are familiar to those who listen to other channels: Esther Hicks, Darryl Anka, Lee Harris, Sheila Gillette--but they came VERY early on.
Ce livre est d'une grande intensité spirituelle. L'enseignement des Anges est d'autant plus troublant qu'il se manifeste dans une période de barbarie. Certaines révélations restent mystérieuses car difficilement interprétables à notre niveau d'évolution. D'autres se présentent comme des évidences. En tout cas elles montrent à quel point l'homme patauge encore à la superficie de ce qu'il pourrait être.
Challenging book of four young Hungarians and their contact with spiritual beings at the time of the Holocaust... the book is written by the only survivor of the four...
