Moving Into A New Level Of Consciousness

The Angel News Network welcomes you to Interview with Gabriel. In conjunction with his book The Second Coming: The Archangel Gabriel Proclaims a New Age, Joel Anastasi continues his dialogue with Gabriel and conducts a three-part interview with him through trance channel Robert Baker.

About The Book, THE SECOND COMING

I briefly describe in the introduction (included in the Excerpt section) how I came to write The Second Coming. But I have been asked many questions about my experiences interviewing Gabriel and writing the book. So I thought I would write a little about that experience and also include Gabriel’s observations about the book now that it has been published.

I spend the winter months in South Florida—as far as I can get from the bitter-cold winters I experienced as a child in Buffalo, NY. Since the channel Robert Baker was in Manhattan, I conducted the first several interviews by phone beginning April 11, 2003. We scheduled two-hour interviews every other week, which Robert taped and mailed to me. I needed two weeks to transcribe the tapes and to prepare my questions. Each interview seemed to suggest questions for the next.

I still remember trying to prepare for the first interview. What do you ask an Archangel? So I started at the beginning—essentially, hello Gabriel, who are you? And it went from there. To say I was nervous is an understatement. But Gabriel suggested I just breathe and I relaxed. The first chapter presents the edited transcript of the first interview. I say edited because Gabriel speaks in what I call Angelese—long stream-of-consciousness sentences. It took approximately 20 hours to transcribe a two-hour interview. I faithfully transcribed every word, sometimes replaying a word over and over to make sure I heard it correctly. My goal was accuracy and clarity.

During the interviews, I listened closely to Gabriel’s answers to make sure I understood them in case I needed to ask clarifying follow-up questions. Occasionally I didn’t understand an answer well enough to ask a good clarifying question, but I discovered that a simple paraphrase usually produced additional valuable information. Gabriel had suggested I “proceed as a little child” which gave me the temerity to admit I sometimes did not understand his answer and to ask for a clearer response.

I conducted the last interview (not including the interview for the Afterword conducted in late 2007) in December 2004. I spent much of the next two years editing and organizing the material by subject while eliminating duplication and reducing excessive repetition (some repetition, I believe, helps build understanding.) Since each interview had its own arc it was difficult taking bits and pieces of different interviews, and trying to arrange them by subject while creating a smooth dialogue—without distorting the teachings.

I submitted the manuscript to two agents, both of whom found it difficult to relate to the material or to metaphysical subjects. I sent proposals to several metaphysical publishers who for one reason or another declined to read the manuscript. So I decided to publish the book using a major self-publisher, iUniverse. I wanted the book’s content and cover to be worthy of Gabriel. A good friend and graphic artist Brian Crede designed the cover. We looked at hundreds of images of angels on various internet sites. As I was losing hope that I would find one I liked, there it was—the beautiful statue of Gabriel on the cover. Thank you Brian for your wonderful work.

Gabriel observes frequently that those who resonate with this material will find the book. I am doing what I can to bring The Second Coming into the world. My greatest concern was that the book might not meet Robert’s and Gabriel’s approval. Happily, Robert says he loves the book. As for Gabriel, here is an edited transcript of my last discussion with him in November 2008 shortly after the book became available:

Gabriel: It is most wonderful to see you again. We thank you for all the beautiful and diligent work that you have done to make our work so clear and to organize it in a way that makes sense to people and helps them comprehend it on the greatest levels.

Joel: I’m glad you remember me. It has been a year since we last talked.

G: How could we forget you?

J: (Laughter) What do you think of the book?

G: We think it is very clear. You have selected those things that are most pertinent for the general populace so that they can more easily comprehend it. You have cut out a lot of the repetition that we tend to do because people don’t hear what they think they hear. But they can read and reread a book. We congratulate you for clarifying things so beautifully and also offer our gratitude for the extreme loving dedication that you have shown to bring our words to the general populace.

J: It still amazes me that I find new teachings each time I read the book.

G: It is layered. We use words to create energetic layers of energetic realization and conscious awareness. It is very carefully put together where your words, ideas and concepts are concerned. So it unearths the consciousness of people as they are able to hear it, to be available to it and to understand it so that it becomes ongoing study material.

J: I explained that I was hiring an organization to do the publicity.

G: You want to start a rumbling by introducing it in different ways to different people. Then it will catch on and create its own momentum. Hopefully, that will create a critical mass reality in some way.

Bringing the book out at this time is a critical time, in many ways a perfect time, because it is right after the Sirian vortex opening which brings two stars together, the spiritual and physical. It’s bringing the inception of the divine plan aspect of soul relationship and collective consciousness into the second chakra, which is the relationship with the physical. It’s bringing up a lot of rumbling, and a lot of conflicts, but it’s also causing an awakening to surface.

The level at which the book operates will be more accessible to more people than it would have been a few years ago because the need and the desire are greater. There has been time for the photonic light to create an entrainment, an awakening of physical vibration. People have feelings of disappointment, loss, and regret. So they more than ever are looking for new ideas. Hopefully, that will make them more receptive to what you have made available.

This book is an introduction to many concepts and ideas that have not been presented to the general populace in this particular way before. There are certain things that we say are common knowledge among many who are receiving information and/or are working with consciousness. But the way in which we present things, ultimately, is a unique concept of evolution and consciousness. It offers a new foundation for a physical reality that we don’t believe has been put together in as complete a way by anyone before. The purpose is to incite interest in a new pathway and new ideas to create, in a sense, a birthing of a new concept of reality that pretty much encompasses every system that exists on your planet.

If this can be accomplished based on what you, we, and the channel have contributed, then that will lead to an opening of a new ideology, where the conception and idea of reality is concerned—a conception that breaks down many barriers and reveals the illusion that separation and duality is. Hopefully, that will allow humankind to see how they have been responsible entirely for the pain that illusion has produced by the way in which they have worshiped it.

Hopefully, they will be able to see the great gift that they have been given as divine children of the divine mind through their freedom of choice. They will then begin to use that freedom consciously and begin to understand that every cause has an effect and that their choices and their actions are connected to and affect everything infinitely in their reality. And so, hopefully, they will begin to use freedom of will and choice in a way that allows them to begin, just begin, to embrace that golden rule—to love one another and to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

J: How can I help contribute to this birthing?

G: Get what you have created out to as many people and avenues as you can in the ways that you can without sacrificing yourself, without martyring yourself. Do your best to live the principles through the experience of your own reality so you may be the Christing example. There is nothing like demonstration to move people and to make them see the truth of possibility.

J: As I take this into the world what parting counsel do you have?

G: Trust yourself and trust the gift that you are giving. You have made the commitment to make that gift a reality and for that you must acknowledge yourself as we acknowledge you.

J: I was recently thinking about when we began this project early in 2003 when I was writing my first questions. I had no idea how long the journey would be or where it would go.

G: That is the process of creativity—embracing the unknown and allowing creation to unfold.
