Hiring the Heavens: A Practical Guide to Developing Working Relationships with the Spirits of Creation

"Do you feel connected to Spirit? I'm not talking about whether or not you have a religious background or affiliation. I'm talking about being connected to the power of the Heavens-and bringing it right down here to Earth to use in your everyday life." - Jean Slatter The idea of enlisting help from angels, saints, or spiritual helpers is not a new one. For example, some Christian denominations teach that angels or saints are more than willing to help humans in their everyday lives as they navigate the twists and turns of earthly living. However, many are disillusioned with formal religion in the new millennium and one result is the sense of being alone in the Universe. Yet, there remains a desire to connect with something bigger than the self-to believe that someone or something is looking out for us and is willing to help manage our lives. With war, terroristic acts, cruelty and suffering flooding 24-hour news channels and other media, it's not uncommon to hear jaded folks wondering "If there is a God, then why in the world is he asleep on the job?!" What hasn't been considered is that we are the proverbial hands, feet, eyes, and mouth of the Divine. Could it be that we "have not because we ask not", as Jesus taught? Violating free will is not in the plan of the Heavens, so then could it be that we must engage the spirits of creation on our behalf? In the book Hiring the Heavens - A Practical Guide to Developing Working Relationships with the Spirits of Creation author Jean Slatter makes a convincing case that not only are the spirits of creation ready to help us with the "real stuff" of life, but that it is our birthright and mission as extensions of God to joyfully wield the creative power of the Universe. To be sure, some are not ready to assume the posture of a creator because this in turn implies responsibility. But as Slatter states: "When we see ourselves as divinely sanctioned creatures, something quite amazing happens. The transformation is unmistakable. We live life from a different vantage point. We recognize our authority to summon the vast resources of the Heavens and all of the eager spiritual assistance that's available for everything we do. We discover that all conceivable problems can be solved by our connection to this incredible power. With this new awareness we can shape our lives purposefully, creating joy and fulfillment with such ease that it feels like a miracle. From now on our lives can be deliberate, joyful expressions of the infinite Source of all creation and possibilities. Heaven can finally be brought down to Earth." Hiring the Heavens conveys a simple message that is found in other books and teachings, but is packaged in a fresh, accessible way. Slatter approaches enlisting help from the Heavens as a hiring process. Just as you might hire an interior decorator, a chef, a babysitter or an accountant, you can do the same with the spirit helpers. In fact, Slatter asserts that for every earthly "job" there

I just finished reading this book, and I am already thinking of all the amazing & wonderful things I can accomplish, and the sheer joy I can experience in my life, by co-creating the life I truly want to live with the help of Spirit. This amazing little book explains that we are co-creators of our own life experience, and that, when we request the help of Spirit, we will be given all the help we need to create exactly what we desire. The author has done a great job of explaining our role as creators, and of providing a context through which we can request aid from those in spirit - by actually creating comittees to help us achieve what is truly important to us. It's a great concept, and appears quite easy to use. In fact, I can't wait to get started in creating the comittees I'd like to help me along the way. This is a relatively short book, but it's jam packed with great information & ideas. So, although it can be read in one sitting, its' impact can last a life-time. If you are at all interested in the topic of creating the life you desire, then this is the book for you! I would also highly recommend (as does the author) those books/tapes by Esther & Jerry Hicks, as well as the book "The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Although they approach this topic in a different way, the core ideas are the same.

If you believe in guardian angels then this book is for you. Simple and fun - you will have a field day. I got this as a present and instantly created my career committee ... within two weeks I got the job in the field I really wanted! Try this tool and see where it leads you!

Unlike the countless spiritual self-help books gathering dust on my bookshelf-Hiring The Heavens-was delightfully refreshing! I read the book-from cover to cover-in ONE afternoon. Slatter's process is simple (the best usually are) yet; its applications run deep and are transformational. I found Slatter's employment metaphor applicable and fun to practice. Miracles and synchronicities are now daily occurrences-thanks to my celestial work force. More importantly, Hiring The Heavens helped me to once again EXPERIENCE my own connection with the Divine. For those feeling bogged down with metaphysical concepts and applications-this is a MUST read.

Jean's own story is an inspiration. Her book is so easy to read and gets the reader pick the concepts up so quickly. Everyone can grasp the concepts described in Jean's book and she offers very helpful insights in the "how to's" of the creation process, making 'co-creating with heaven' a simple 'job'.I highly recommend this and have used the concepts in this book and creating great improvements in my life.Thank you very much, Jean, for writing the book. Please keep up the great work.Yours very sincerely.
