My First Encounter with an Angel is the inaugural book in the Revelations of Ancient Wisdom – AWAN Speaks series, which seeks to uncover how spiritual understanding, psychic ability, and prophetic insight have been obscured or reshaped over centuries by biblical editors and religious authorities. The material arises from AWAN — the Angel Without a Name — who communicated with author Sidney Schwartz through the trance medium Carl Hewitt, a respected figure in spiritual circles. Whatever one believes about AWAN’s true nature becomes almost irrelevant once the depth of the teachings is explored.

In their first meeting, AWAN revealed that generations of Church leaders had deliberately modified sections of the Bible in order to restrain the spiritual awakening and intuitive capabilities of ordinary people. Schwartz, firmly committed to his theological training, resisted these claims and debated them at length. In response, AWAN invited him to prove the teachings wrong. What followed was an exhaustive investigation: Schwartz drew upon his professional skills as a librarian and compared more than 160 versions of the Bible. To his astonishment, the evidence repeatedly aligned with AWAN’s assertions.

Readers of this book will begin to view the Bible through a very different lens — one in which metaphysical experiences, psychic insight, and mediumistic events are not fringe elements but woven throughout the text, waiting to be recognised once more.
