Purpose For The Hga Options

So as I was theorizing on this very subject after reading The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage and doing a bunch more research on this notion, it left me to wonder if contacting your Holy Guardian Angel (HGA) was the main priority or top goal to achieve through one's spiritual journey and if not, then why not? Maybe it's a notion interpreted differently by others or perhaps unbelieved entirely, although if one is to entertain the ideas of what occurs after contact with the HGA, a new life so to speak, would be introduced for the individual as well as sharper and a more accurate ideology of their life.

I can't imagine it would be an easy task to gain 'the knowledge and conversation of the HGA' but had someone successfully accomplished it, wouldn't that person be quite different and significantly more competent in certain areas? Not to mention more in control of their own lives, actions and morals?

What are you perspectives on the matter? Have any of you ever undertaken the task to contact your HGA, if so what happened? Did you succeed?

Any input whatsoever considering the idea of this topic would be beneficial to hear! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mf_popcorn.gif)

what comes next? my answer would be The Great Work. I think that's kinda the whole point of the HGA's involvement with a finite, semi-sentient, hairless monkey, living on a muddy little rock, orbiting a quaint little star, somewhere int he unfashionable arm of the milky way galaxy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/13.gif)

Anyway, I kinda loosely associate the HGA with an ethereal bodhisattva, and associate The Great Work with getting out of Samsara and achieving communion with Aum. But I am ideologically closer to taoism and tantra than I am to abrahamic monotheism.

I don't particularly believe in 'black' magick. rainbow labeling means little to me.
my interaction with HGA hasn't lead me to any dusty books though, I lead myself to dusty books because I'm a die-hard bookworm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) meanwhile 'She' (HGA,Patron,Guide,Higherself, thingie) teaches things which aren't in any books.

as for goetia, that's only a few hundred years old. personally I don't really differentiate between a qliphothic vs. kabbalistic approach to magick. I'm sort of the philosophy that all roads have the potential to lead to Rome (some more directly than others though). I don't think that any interaction with an 'infinite' being could occur without encountering all possible extremes, as all extremes exist in 'the sum of all things'. So yeah, tree of death or goetic styled HGA approach seems as valid to me as something more 'whitey lighty'. Along the way to the ultimate destination I think you'll end up covering all the bases anyway. just my view (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
