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)

With all due respect!
The great work is an alchemical concept! From all the occult approach it's the onely one I've never touched!
Mais reason is that it's a Rosicrutian concept and that I'm not in PAris anymore so I don't have any contacts in Africa.

the only alchemy I practice is within.

"The Great Work" appears under many names in many MANY religions & occult systems.
It's hard to imagine a person being familiar with eastern mysticism, platonic philosophy (thanks for the great description there Sodor), alchemy, crowley, golden dawn, etc. without touching upon this concept. It is a multicultural idea which spans 5 continents, under numerous names, in numerous traditions & belief systems. Body-of-light/Ascension appears even in christianity.

Anyway, if we presume that the "HGA" is an interface between our finite being, and the divine 'all', then I'm not sure I see any other really obvious topics of conversation to have with an HGA other than The Great Work (by whatever label, in whatever belief doctrine).
