John Ronner (website(1)) an author of numerous books on the subject of angels, appeared on Monday night's show. "The angelic world is all around us, waiting to be tuned into," Ronner said, explaining that the spiritual dimension that angels inhabit may co-exist with our physical plane. People may be increasingly aware of this Ronner suggested, pointing out that recent surveys have shown that 75% of the population now believes in angels.

Ronner categorized a number of different angelic visitations. One type he termed the "mysterious stranger," where the angel takes the form of an ordinary human being. This stranger might for example, know your name and details about your life. Ronner also spoke about angelic interventions on the battlefield, such as in the case of Joan of Arc who received key spiritual guidance in war matters.

Looking into near death and out-of-body experiences, Ronner commented on his research into the life of Emanuel Swedenborg, the great 17th century mystic. Swedenborg believed that after death we face a multitude of heavens, purgatories and hells and that these environments were created out of the mass consciousness of their like-minded inhabitants. Along those lines, Ronner postulated that a person might evolve spiritually after death, moving into different realms, rather than staying in a static place.
