Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
Schizophrenia/Mental Illness Survival Guide
1. Hello and Welcome,
I initially wrote this document to
compliment a course I was creating for
my start up Scizm. Since I shut that down
2. I am offering it for free now to aid as
many people as possible. I have also
started a blog: Scizm.blogspot.co.uk
My advice is bred from personal
experience, so as a disclaimer you should
always seek medical advice if you think
you have schizophrenia, this is not meant
to be a replacement and there are no
guarantees, merely it is to add to your
tools of recovery.
I am using google drive which also includes
a free 6000 word ebook on spirituality,
please feel free to download that as well! If
you want me to continue working on this
kind of thing I am accepting donations at:

If you have schizophrenia then this
information is for you. The techniques we
will learn today will help you beat your
illness, or at least manage it more
effectively. Some of what I will say is
contentious but I am merely talking from
my own experience of what worked for
me to achieve the level of health I have
now (a million times better then what I
used to be) and the many people I have
met who also suffer different conditions. I
hope you find this informative and
enlightening!
So lets jump straight in, first I will talk about ways
to beat mental illness which are not specific to an
individual illness but are in fact universal to all the
4. types of mental illness you may have. The next few
pages are helpful to many different mental
disorders.
Hope
The number one thing you can never give up is
hope! It is a very dangerous thing to lose and
without it, getting better is far more difficult. Take
comfort in stories like my own, I am a million times
better then I used to be, well enough to even set up
Scizm and start making a difference! Having hope
will also ensure you are safer from yourself and who
knows, tomorrow you could see a marked
improvement. Search for mental illness success
stories on Google, these uplifting stories are plentiful
and empowering.
Medication
Take your medication! It is so helpful as it is more
5. than likely that you have a chemical imbalance in
your brain which causes the outlandish experiences,
feelings or thoughts and will counteract these by,
primarily, blocking your dopamine receptors. I
found medication creates stability in my mind over
time, making me less prone to delusional thinking.
Take it religiously and a few months down the line
you should begin to see improvements.
Activity
To distract yourself from the experiences or
nightmares make sure your day has much
structured activity, so make plans to do things. This
can be as simple as reading a book, surfing the
internet, learning an instrument, going out for a
meal, going to the cinema, watching television or
any of the other 'normal' things that people do.
Fake It To Make It
By acting normal and getting on with normal
6. activities you will begin to see a change inside
yourself towards wellbeing. This means faking
smilies, saying that everything is fine and generally
trying to eliminate abnormal behaviours. There are
many people out there who would benefit from this
and I have heard of this approach working for
sufferers. By saying everything is fine, you make
that statement and begin to believe it yourself. If
you repeated the statement “everything is fine”
over and over again, even though the world was
ending (literally) inside your head you would begin
to believe it. This is what I had to do to survive
hearing God being tortured, apart from breaking
down into tears! Obviously tell your therapist and
CPN what is really going on and your family, but
over the years start faking it to them, it really will
help in the long run. It's called 'putting on a brave
face', I have been doing it for years.
Cry
Let out some of that bile that’s inside, all that
7. sadness and hatred or any negative emotion that
has built up inside you needs to be released. This is
an extremely important step, the chemicals
associated with stress come out in your tears and I
have learned how to fling out the bile at break neck
speeds. Next time you want to cry, let it take you
over and fully release your sadness of the world, to
the world.
Exercise
One of my favourite ways to cope with mental
illness and life in general, exercise releases
endorphins which will combat your illnesses negative
traits.
Think Positive
I know this can be really hard, but is one of the only
things that kept me going through the constant
8. waking nightmares, my schizophrenia threw at me.
Think positively and you will get positive people and
circumstances in your life, like attracts like and so
thinking negatively attracts negative things. Don't
worry though, positive thinking is a million times
more powerful then negative thinking, one powerful
thought of “I AM LOVE!” (I am statements are very
powerful) will attract much more then the hours of
negative meanderings we are prone too, try it now!
It is down to you to reprogram yourself through
positive affirmations and good life choices to bring
an end to your illness, and usher in the good life
which follows.
Healthy Eating
Not so much limited to just us mental illness
sufferers but still produces a massive boost to our
wellbeing, which is the name of the game. I eat
celery and fast once a week and it really produces
results, I feel great and I know this is the boost
vegetables give us. Plus this will counteract the
weight gain, so common in mentally afflicted lives,
9. due to the side effects of many antipsychotic
medications.
Journalling
Write about your experiences in a private journal. A
gratitude list can be very helpful, list all the things
you are grateful for in your life (the roof over your
head, the food, water, family) anything. You can
talk about hopes and dreams, your current feelings,
anything you like!
Hobbies
Taking up a hobby will help a lot, I am a huge
advocate of guitar, it helped me no end and now I
have a useful skill! It can be kite flying, boating,
fishing, bowling, chess, book reviewing, writing, a
musical instrument of any kind, just get good at
something while you have this time on your hands.
They also can be turned into careers, years from
now as it is your passions that you are advised to
turn into businesses!
10. Friends and family
The support from friends and family is a huge one,
they can be really helpful as a listening ear, a
shoulder to cry on and if they're super nice will cook
you a nice meal and even lend you money when you
are broke! Plus the advice can be great and it will
boost you a lot to be around someone who actually
cares.
Therapy
I found therapy sessions to be most useful, we used
some CBT techniques and talked through my many
symptoms and issues over a number of weeks. A
professional knows an awful lot about mental illness
and are generally caring and kind when treating
you. They have seen it all so there's no need to
worry about opening up, they will help you to the
best of their ability, which is considerable.
11. Rewards
Never forget to offer yourself rewards such as nice
food, fine clothes, those shoes you want, that
katana which would look awesome on the
mantelpiece etc. anything that you can give yourself
a pat on the back with and say 'well done me, you
deserve this!'. Rewards are very important to get
you through the illness, say to yourself 'I will buy
that tablet computer (hopefully from Scizm) once I
have achieved my goal of....' and think of something
you want to achieve, this will help you to achieve it
for obvious reasons.
Connect With Fellow Sufferers
The internet is a great place to meet other sufferers
and read about inspiring stories of survival and
victory over these illnesses. You can also make
lifelong friends, find very helpful advice and feel a
part of a community of survivors.
12. Know That You Are Not Alone!
This is important, knowing that there are millions
like you with exactly the same illness and symptoms
can be a huge comfort. Why not buy our Smiley
Mug, which includes the slogan, you are not alone!
This will help us further our work to help sufferers
but also raise awareness of mental health issues,
reminding you that you are not alone in this
process.
Quit Smoking
This was the best choice I ever made in my life and
I feel so much better for it. I also have much more
money and no longer have those nagging shadows in
the back of my consciousness, telling me I'm going
to die a slow and painful death. This is the worst
part of smoking, those shadows but I also have
other reasons why you MUST quit. I can't tell you
how much it increases your physical health but also
the mental health is further healed after the initial
period of wanting a smoke badly. There was a crazy
13. person living in my head, fuelled by the want of
nicotine which disappeared a few days after I kicked
it. People say it relieves stress but it is my
experience that it actually increases stress initially
and then relieves the stress it creates, not even
touching life stresses at all. I have been clean for a
year and a half now (well one birthday cigar if I am
being honest) and never felt better. DO IT!
Lack of Alcohol
I have found that alcohol fuels my symptoms in a
very tangible way. I am very much trying to quit at
the moment, cutting down loads and would suggest
that it really is bad for our mental healths. I am
sure I don't need to tell you the other risks inherent
with taking it but I would definitely recommend
cutting down if you are a heavy drinker as the
moments of sobriety allow your mind to heal. Plus
beer kills brain cells and we need our brain cells!
14. Staying Off Drugs
This is a big one, they can be very dangerous to
anyone but those prone to mental illness can be
hugely hurt just by a simple one like cannabis. It
might be tempting, maybe you were even triggered
early like I was by cannabis, but you must resist the
temptation to 'have a good time', knowing that
there is a possibility that hell awaits should your
resolve falter.
Learning
Learn as much as you can about everything, the
internet provides the sum total of human
knowledge, or close to it. Try different courses,
there is every kind of course available to you right
now!
Time
Time heals all wounds, as some wise man once said
and this certainly applies to mental illness. Just give
it time. If you take the above steps then it will
15. happen faster, but you must give steps such as
medication months before you see a difference. It
can then take years for your brain to rebuild itself,
but if you remember that you have to take out the
old rubbish that’s in there from trauma and put in
new positive life affirming experiences to replace
them then you will see a massive improvement. Us
mentally unwell individuals have the potential to be
more well then the average person on our quest for
well mental health. You might find yourself getting
'too well' and noticing the madness that is around
you, that governs the world. This is a good sign, and
one that I am sure, once you are a balanced,
rational human being will lead you to want to and
go out and change the world!
Divine Assistance
I have to admit this one was THE BIGGEST factor
in my getting better, God (for there is a God) has
helped me out of my constant waking nightmares
and into the light! When I say God I really mean
16. Higher Intelligence of myself and all of humanity
and all of the universe, basically the sum total of all.
Pure, living conscious love is another way to describe
Her and, if you haven't asked for help from Her in
awhile I urge you to try now. They cannot intervene
until you ask, so please, try it. What can it hurt to
request, 'help me to heal God, please send your
healing Angel Raphael to help me through my
illness.' They're waiting for you to make contact....
All you must do is:
Ask!
Ok so hopefully this is a good wake up call for you
to now implement some of these techniques and
ideas into your daily life. If you are truly serious
about getting better then you need to try some of
these things.
Next I am going to talk about how specifically
schizophrenia can be dealt with.
17. Firstly, if you are hearing voices then my heart goes
out to you, I know how hard that is but would like
to say again: You are not alone! One technique I
found to be extremely helpful is meditation. This
does not mean silencing the mind, it means being
the ever present watcher of your thoughts and
taking time out to relax, get in your body and
cultivate awareness of yourself.
It is really difficult with schizophrenia, I heard voices
for years, well a voice, that constantly badgered
me, sounding like the ghost of a dark sorcerer and
was always trying to send me to hell! Having visions
of the place made this a very scary time, but I am
now free of voices and have been for years. I did this
via two secrets, which I will share with you now.
Secret number one
I was and still am on Risperidone and Abilify. These
two medications, coupled together, made a good
platform of stability for my head to rest. Abilify is a
18. type three medication, the only one currently on
the market and is actually capable of sniffing out
which receptors in your brain need turning off and
on!
Risperidone is only a type two, meaning it is older
but is still effective, for me anyway, in creating
stability. Take it at night, if the doctor allows as it
can be very sleep inducing and the Abilify in the
morning as this one keeps you awake! This means it
will be easier in the evenings to get to sleep but
easier in the mornings to wake up and should be
fine with your doctor, I have been doing this for a
number of years. That is secret number one.
Secret Number Two.
Talk to your voices, kindly and compassionately. Ask
them, why they want to hurt you, if they do, what
they feel their purpose in life is, how they are
feeling, what they would like to be called, what
troubles them so etc. Tell him or her that you care
about them (for they are an extension of you and
19. self love is so important), love them even (this is
hard but saying it will take you one step closer to
healing), that you want what's best for them and
would never hurt them. It will become easier to feel
these things just by thinking or saying these
statements out loud, even if you actually feel like
taking an axe to their face (this was what I wanted
to do to the ghost of a dark sourceror or possibly
alien Artificial Intelligence that had invaded my
mind after awhile) and hurting them with all the
hatred you have for this super annoying thing inside
you. As it turned out this was a voice in my head,
so I was just self hating, even if at the time it felt
like an outward entity.
Top tip: Chin up and love, love, love!
So that is dealing with voices, but there are many,
many other symptoms of schizophrenia that you
need to address. Voices are usually linked to
trauma, possibly in childhood but other symptoms,
such as delusions or lack of emotion are due to a
20. chemical imbalance inside your brain. We are just
wired that way!
To counteract this rather unfortunate set of
circumstances, self-awareness is exceptionally
important. Meditation will increase this much, but
it is also possible to cultivate it through other
means, such as staring at the night sky! I found
that seeing the vastness of space increases our
awareness of ourselves as the tiny specks of matter
that we are. Also being in the presence of the sun
as this entity is so grand in comparison to ourselves.
Us schizophrenia sufferers can be amazingly
creative with our story telling, artistry or musical
expression. We find very interesting ways to connect
seemingly unconnectable situations and events,
something which I would define as hugely creative.
A conversation springs to mind that my parents
were having and I was listening to. I thought every
word, every sentence was about me and was
relating it all to the idea they were dark sorcerers.
Very, very creatively my mind did this for every
21. word. Luckily, by then I had enough self-awareness
to know that this was in fact mental illness,
noticing this and watching with avid interest to see
what my mind's paranoia could conjure up next!
Due to cultivating the ever present watcher that we
all have in our minds, I was able to treat myself as
a kind of study in paranoia and creativity, from an
outward perspective. Their are many guides on how
to practice Mindful Meditation, search on Google or
wait for my course on that also!
Delusions
To beat delusions, such as thinking that you have
the ability to read minds, find a close friend or
trusted family member and test your theories out
on them, explicitly explaining what you are
currently experiencing and believing. They will
probably be shocked and worried, (this just shows
they care) but do not be deterred, after a short
time they will calm down and help you explore your
ideas. Do not hesitate to do this if you are
22. experiencing things that are 'out of the ordinary'.
Lack of emotion.
This can effect anyone who has an illness, even
physical ones and is something I have had to deal
with for a long time. It can be hard for the person
in question who loves you, when you tell them that
you feel nothing for them, so I would suggest
keeping it to yourself and not hurting their feelings.
I almost never advocate lying but in this instance I
would say that it is a good idea. Tell them you love
them, for deep down you do, you infact love them
enough to become their son or daughter, parent or
sibling and make it convincing. It is hard enough on
them that you are ill for years, make it easier on
them with this simple lie. Do not feel ashamed; it is
a symptom, you wouldn’t feel guilty for breaking a
leg would you?
Get a therapist and talk through your traumas,
hopes, dreams, desires and feelings you may find
that some of the emotion comes back. If not then
23. view yourself as a prime candidate for high
integration with the machines of the future, for lack
of emotion will be a big part of tanshuman
experience. This is of course if they haven't found a
way round this! You can look at yourself as a
biological machine, cool as a cucumber, who needs
those pesky, irrational things called feelings
anyway? They only cloud your judgement and force
rash decisions out of people, why not be governed
by rational, machinelike thinking. Make the best of a
bad situation by looking on the bright side like the
above thinking, which is exactly what I thought
when I noticed almost no emotion whatsoever.
Paranoia
This one is really tough, I remember experiencing
the blackest terror, words being completely
inadequate to describe this sensation. If you are
smoking cannabis then STOP this is the cause of it!
It took me ages to realize that it was this drug
which was causing my symptoms, which by then
had got much worse and it took me years of
24. abstinence from cannabis to get my head back to
normal. If you are having trouble quitting it there is
plenty of support available online or in your local
community.
If you have never tried cannabis then I know it can
still be really bad and is linked with delusional
thinking that people are out to get you. A way to
get through it is therapy as it is almost certainly
past trauma or deep sadness, manifesting as fear.
You can try going for quite walks or talking with
those that love you, who will reassure you that it is
in your mind.
But whatever you do, stay off drugs!
Suicide
Grit is another way to cope, meaning determination
that you can and will survive this life (pun intended)
and you will do so with pride and dignity, with a
single minded intent that few well people can
match. Tell yourself that you will never end your
25. life, that this is the ultimate way to give up and
fail, that your friends and family would be
devastated and that you are stronger then that. I
know that this is the only way we can fail (though
technically we never can, due to the infinite chances
given to us by the Divine), that then we have to
start all over again and suffer for all the pain our
selfish action of suicide caused, as well as the rest of
our Karmic debt all over again!
Didn't you ever wonder why you are still here? Why
all those suicide attempts failed or why your life
was just the right level of difficulty for you to be
tested, at times unbearably, but still come through?
It is because it needs to be just the right level so
that it is not too hard for you just to end it all, but
not too easy so that your karmic debt doesn’t get
paid. You may disagree, but I absolutely know there
is a God and Angels and many other wondrous
expressions of holy divinity, walking the earth right
now and helping us all in our lives. As I previously
mentioned, but will go into more detail later on (I
may very well make a course entitled Spirituality;
26. The e-Learning Solution later) these entities are
extreme helpful when your in a tough spot and will
improve your life if asked! They cannot intervene
until you do. And really, what do you have to lose?
Think of how far you have come to just get here
today, if you can come this far you can go all the
way! Life is such a precious thing and we are so
special to be on this Earth at such a crucial time it
is mind boggling. Taking your own life is the saddest
thing that can happen to you and although there is
no hell, it is immensely harder on you, please trust
me on this! Good things are right around the
corner, hell and heaven both existing here on Earth
as a state of mind.
Hallucinations
There are many different varieties of hallucinations,
and they can be very distracting from our lives. I
was once eating dinner with a friend who also had
schizophrenia and when I asked him what was
wrong, he pointed to a corner and said “her”. This
27. really brought home to me how lucky I was not to
see actual people, that my visual hallucinations
were, although bad, very limited. Of course this was
balanced by some truly appalling auditory
hallucinations which happened almost every night
for years involving the screaming of very loud
horrific torture, involving many people. I am sure
you have many a story to tell about your
hallucinations also.
To come through them is a huge achievement, give
yourself a huge hug and pat on the back for coming
this far. To deal with them requires determination,
positive thinking and ambition. Try and see them as
an illness, although it might be difficult to
differentiate between the real world and the
hallucinations, so you must tell someone about them
to check.
Stress
Stress can be a big trigger and danger point for you
28. as it is proven to raise the symptoms of
schizophrenia, making them worse very quickly.
Unfortunately, the symptoms themselves can be
very distressing and so cause a self fulfilling
downward spiral. To counteract this, try and relax
when things aren't too bad, so mindfulness and nice
music. This will create the mindset of relaxation for
when things get worse and make it easier to get
back to that peaceful place. Take a holiday or go on
a retreat while you can to help your mind stay
grounded.
Medication Side Effects
There are too many of these to list here but I really
put this here to make sure you don't let that put
you off. If you are suffering any of the symptoms I
have mentioned then medication will help, it is
proven to help. Do not be deterred by the initial
weight gain or drowsiness, there are ways to
combat these effects and medications that don't
even cause them, such as the pre mentioned Abilify.
Talk to your doctor about changing now, the Abilify
29. wakes me up in the mornings while the Risperidone
puts me to sleep, its a winning combination!
Remember: relapse is most commonly caused by not
taking your medication!
Lack of Libido
This is very common so do not be alarmed if for
awhile your sex drive is hampered or gone entirely.
It might be a very lonely place but I guarantee you
are not alone and that a partner is just around the
corner, one who understands that this is a
symptom. Their is also, *wink* *wink* Viagra type
drugs which can be purchased from your local
chemist. Now that’s a fun trip into town! But
seriously, don't worry about it, their will be plenty
of time for sexual experience once you are on the
road to recovery and feeling better in yourself, it
will come back!
Visions
I had many visions, some very scary, others
30. incomprehensibly random that I couldn’t make
heads of tails of them. This led to very confusing
times, I tried to make sense and interpret the
abstract nature of what my head produced, but
failed considerably due to them being nothing more
then products of a mind gone haywire on drugs.
To deal with visions, firstly tell yourself it is mental
illness. See them as a product of your mind,
hopefully with the self awareness of meditation
helping you and the guidance of your Guardian
Angel by your side. If you can, distract yourself with
a book or film, but whatever you do, don't try to
make sense of them, it will lead you down the
pathways of madness. This is because they are such
a powerful experience, but so random that, when
you try and find meaning in them you will become
further entrenched in delusions and this is a
nightmare. Trust me! 'Interpreting' the visions led
me to some wild conclusions which lasted for years
after the experiences.
31. Hopelessness
You may feel like there is no hope, but this is a
common reaction to an illness as serious as
schizophrenia. It may feel like a life sentence but
this couldn't be further from the case, with the
right steps followed and the right mind set anything
can be achieved. I once read about a little girl with
the illness, seeing blood coming down the walls and
people in here room. Now that is terrifying! She is
now happily married and shows little signs of
symptoms! Think about how strong she must be
now to have come through years of hallucinations at
such a young age.
So that's what I can offer you on symptoms specific
to schizophrenia. I chose this format so that it will
stick in your head as much as possible, using bright
colours and punchy wording.
Having come through six years of the illness,
including very intense mental anguish and suffering
32. I have much to offer those who are still going
through it, now that I have achieved a million
percentage increase in health. Although this can be
primarily attributed to the fact that it was almost
certainly drug induced schizophrenia, so by staying
away from drugs over the last few years, my brain
has been given time to heal, it is also most of these
things that I have listed.
I am writing this blog to help people like me and
you with advice to survive mental illness, but it has
to come from you, there is no cure except for our
own personal and spiritual growth, which is of
course what an illness like this is all about. View it
in such a light and it seems a little less scary, a
challenge to endure and overcome, a way of life
even, that differs from the 'normal' paths people
take so completely we are akin more to the Gods
then the mortals (Aristotle said something along
these lines about madness, a most empowering
speech which I would suggest you look up). Sounds
too grandiose? My head generated Satan, God,
33. angels, demons, the screaming and roaring of hell,
the peace of heaven, the voice of a black god or
sorcerer or Artificial Intelligence in league with the
dark forces, white sorcerers and a good and evil
persona inside me all battling at once for my soul! If
that sounds too grandiose then it is not, for mere
words can never describe what that was like, awe
inspiring, terrifying and humbling it was the
quintessential times of my life, the makings of me as
a man and life itself unfolding before my very eyes.
The craziness that is inside my brain produces
creativity like no other and I revel in how special
this all makes me feel. I take the positive symptoms
and leave the negative ones.
You can too....
Finally I would like to talk, briefly, about the
Divine.
You have a Guardian Angel that helps you
34. constantly throughout your life. Ask for help
often and it is granted. God exists and is the
'sum of all things'. Wholesome and loving, kind
and wise, beyond all conceptions of the words,
our beloved creator is our most humble and
brilliant benefactor. He loved us all so much,
that he put a tiny part of himself in each and
every one of us, that which we call the soul.
This Divine spark is our most prized possession
as it offers eternal life across creation and
makes us all the incarnation of God in physical
form. He feels all our pain, all our love, all our
peace, all our anger and every thing else. How
do you think he got that awesome after all?
Spiritual development is the sole reason we are
here. This works out very well for the good
people among us, like you, who suffer
considerably at the hands of their subconscious.
It means that you will be rewarded in the
35. afterlife no end for the extra miles you have
walked. Valued hugely you should be very
proud of yourself. Here is an extract from my
book Spirituality Secrets:
• God exists and we are all one with Her at
all times
• Angels exist, with billions of them here on
earth and near infinite individual forms of
there beings in Heaven, combining to make
an Infinite Force of Angelic brilliance.
• Reincarnation is a process we have gone
through many times over as humans
• The force of Karma exists and blesses and
punishes, from the tiniest of transgression
or kindnesses to the largest of crimes and
acts of benevolence
• The place this force operates from is one of
absolute truth and wholesome knowledge,
based in love and is from the highest ideals
36. of humanity.
• There is no such thing as hell
• Original sin does not exist and neither does
- in the ultimate sense - any sin.
• The Divine wants to express itself in all its
glory so this universe, and many others
exist to allow it to do just that which is
why the myriad of incarnations on this
planet exist, let alone a universe with close
to infinite suns and planets.
• There are many messengers on earth at
the moment, including myself which I will
list later as some of their books are very,
very good.
• We are eternal beings on an eternal
journey, living this life so we may express
ourselves as fully fledged Divine creators
and recreate ourselves anew in the next
(this life) greatest and grandest vision we
ever had about ourselves. Ever.
37. • Infinite universes exist. I am very interested
by quantum physics and read many books
on its' different aspects. Take this
knowledge to mean that this Higher
Intelligence encompasses all these different
parts of us (we all have close to infinite if
not infinite doppelgängers) and all these
different dimensions so it is pretty much
the most amazing, wise and kind being it is
possible to create.
• This being is increasing itself through us
every second we live.
• We are taking thought to new places,
standing every second we live on the edge
of creation, staring in to the abyss.
• Divine guidance is accessible to all of us, all
we must do is Ask!
• We have all been given a Guardian Angel
from our birth who is with us every second
of our lives till our deaths, offering us
38. protection and love throughout.
• This is our go to guy, the angelic force we
can ask to bring us whatever we desire,
although one way we are able to chart our
spiritual development is by the things we
ask for.
• Spiritual development is our sole purpose
for living this life, being judged on lessons
learned, such as acts of compassion or the
art of patience.
• To make our eternal existence easier for
our lives can be exceedingly difficult,
spending time learning these lessons is
important and will shorten the time it
takes for all of us to reach the same level.
• This level is Mastery, attained by Jesus, the
Buddha and many others, the beautiful

your guardian Angel to get the Angel of Hope,
rather then asking the Angel of Hope directly.
