Talking with Angels
The true story of four young Hungarians seeking inner direction at a time of outer upheaval, the holocaust. The intense experience depicted in this book provides them with new direction and hope. In the darkest hours of World War II, these friends, three of them Jewish, seek orientation and meaning in their shattered lives. During seventeen months, one of them, Hanna Dallos, delivers oral messages which Gitta Mallasz and Lili Strausz record in their notebooks. These messages, or teachings as they came to be known, end abruptly with the deportation of Hanna and Lili to Ravensbrück in December of 1944.
Gitta Mallasz, the only survivor of the quartet, first published the notes in France in 1976. The dialogues document an extraordinary light-filled spiritual resistance in the midst of Nazi darkness and barbarous cruelty. Hanna Dallos and Gitta Mallasz, both born in 1907, became friends at the School of Applied Arts in Budapest. Together with Hannas husband, Joszef Kreutzer, they later established what became a successful graphic arts atelier. The three were soon joined by movement therapist Lili Strausz. The dialogues presented in this document took place between June of 1943 and November of 1944 in Budaliget and Budapest.Hanna and Lili died in Germany during a prisoner transport and Joszef in a Hungarian concentration camp in 1945. Gitta emigrated to Paris in 1960, where she edited and published the record of their experience. This document has subsequently been translated and published in numerous languages throughout the world. Gitta Mallasz died in 1992 in France. Twenty years later, she was honored as a Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem for having saved more than a hundred Jewish women and children.
I am very happy to have encountered this book. I am deeply touched by the dialogues with the angels. - Yehudi Menuhin
I could read it over and over again and never get tired of it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this book with me. - Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
I feel as though the message of the angels were especially intended for me.
It places me in touch with Truth and enables me to hear the call more clearly.
The angels teach me how to view the world through the inner smile. - Narciso Yepes

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.
Pages: 478; Publication Date: 1943; Part of my book collection.

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.
Dialogues avec l'Ange est un ouvrage surprenant.

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.

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.

Not a good book, but the diary of an amazing experience. It does not make sense until it totally does.

July 29, 2011Ce 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.
