Lorna Byrne is an Irish author who has written “Angels Among Us,” which was published in 2008, became a New York Times bestseller, and was translated into more than 30 languages. Byrne’s other books include “The Light Within You,” “Angels in My Hair,” and “A Message of Hope from the Angels.”
Byrne was born in Ireland in 1953 to a financially struggling family. She claimed to see angels as a baby and grew up thinking that everyone could. However, Byrne is profoundly dyslexic and was unable to complete any formal education past primary school. It is through a miracle of technology along with the assistance of others that she could have four books published about her life with the angels. Her books have been such a success that she has appeared on numerous television shows and radio programs, and given lectures and workshops around the world traveling six to nine months of the year.
On Sunday, January 21, Byrne held a livestream event on YouTube discussing her experiences with Jeffrey Mishlove and Emmy Vadnais with questions from viewers. She talked about how angels have helped her in her life, and she shared her insights on how we can all connect with them. Of course, the inevitable questions about her sanity and veridicity were asked. As for her sanity, she was evaluated before a major surgery and found to be as sane as the rest of us. In her books, she offers numerous examples of precognition and clairvoyance that are given to her by her guides and she has offered to be tested by parapsychologists who are curious about them.
After reviewing the literature, I have concluded that we are not alone in the universe and that our neighbors find it difficult to communicate with us on this plane. Although I posted a question “Have the angels you’ve seen ever said or hinted that they may be another type of entity?” there was no time for her to answer it. However, Byrne does say that all other cultures and religions have their types of angels and call them by their cultural names. She does not state that the angels are only there for Catholic believers. That being said, her visitors have identified themselves by name, and they are a part of the angelic pantheon from the Christian Bible.
Reading Byrne’s books and listening to her interviews, you can see the rules by which the angels work. They do not interfere with human free will. The guardians assist their charges, healing angels help the ill, and “unemployed” angels do whatever task is requested, but only when specifically asked. One might venture that prayer is the request that galvanizes angelic assistance. When asked if humans become angels, Byrne states that angels serve humans and love us unconditionally. We are destined to be and are greater than these beings.
Putting together Byrne’s angels with that of spiritual medium contacts and close encounters of the fourth kind experiencers, there may be a plethora of entities willing to wear any facade that helps us feel comfortable with them. One need only read the rich historical myths as examples of how the “gods” appeared to humans to see how entities may have always been among us.
