In 1993, Barbara With, Teresa McMillian and Kimberly Lilith Phelps began organizing groups in their living rooms to study Barbara’s psychic channeling. Kim and Teresa had been clients of Barbara’s, and in the same fashion as Edgar Cayce, Jane Roberts, Abraham Hicks and Delores Cannon, Barbara was being impelled to channel for a group of people.
In that first group reading together on December 14, 1993, the voices identified themselves as “Angels” and said they were here to teach “world peace, one person at a time, starting with you.” What they taught us was a revolutionary way to deal with conflict that would change the course of our lives. The trick was, we had to figure out how to use their suggestions and instructions to bring peace to our own conflicts in these new, uncharted ways.
We referred to ourselves as the Psychic Sorority, recorded the sessions, transcribed the tapes, and made the instruction available to anyone who wanted to listen.
Lily, Teresa and Barbara at our first booksigning, 1997
As we applied the Angels’ step-by-step instructions for world peace to the conflicts between us and within us, we documented our awakening as it happened. Along with the transcripts of those sessions, we published our diaries as our first book, Diaries of a Psychic Sorority: Talking With the Angels in 1997.
Over 30 years later, the Psychic Sorority has re-released Diaries with an update, while the Sorority has grown to include members around the world who have been studying this work with us for decades. And we’re still here, still listening to the voices, and still committed to bringing peace to our world every day.
This work will appeal to anyone who is ready to pick up their power, take full responsibility for the condition of their own life and make it a more peace-filled place. It’s about seeing the opportunities to make a difference in the world using the ordinary experiences of everyday life to propel ourselves to extraordinary personal and spiritual empowerment.

Three very human women share with us, through this book, their experiences as they learn, from their Angels, how to listen to the voices of the Angels speaking with them. The Angels themselves share with us ways in which we, too, can begin to listen to the guidance of our guardian angels ourselves. Never pointing to themselves, but always pointing to one’s inner wisdom, one feels secure with the book and with that which the Angels lovingly impart.
In excerpts from their own journals kept during this experience, each author tells us just exactly what it is like to suddenly be listening to angels, and more importantly, ways in which we can join together and promote world peace, through inner awakening and inner peace.
Each woman comes from a different background and has a different perspective on events, which leads easily to the reader identifying with much of what they are feeling, thinking and learning.
To me though, the grandest authors of all are the Angels themselves who have much to tell us about who we are, where we have come from and where it is that we are going. They, too, instruct the reader in how to also go within and contact one’s own angels. In fact, the book is very much geared to one traveling the road for oneself and gaining first-hand knowledge of some of the wonders within us and around us.
I loved learning more about angels, these beings who, though they love us very much and have our best interests at heart, will not interfere in our lives, but wait patiently to be recognized and asked. And I loved being let into the daily world and growing of three wonderful and diverse women. Our glimpse into the journals of Barbara, Kim, and Teresa touch deeply at the levels within us as we watch them embrace Spirit in their daily lives. They, and their wonderful Angels, delight in reminding us that we are already beloved, though often we doubt it. They also remind us that the love we share in our hearts is greatly appreciated by those we think of in the “upper realms”.

I was getting ready to teach an Angel Class in St. Charles, IL and reading anything I could get my hands on that would help. When this book literally came on the screen, I was at the Amazon Book website looking for a different book. This book appeared on my screen. I knew then and there that this was the book I needed in teaching people to listen to their Angels. The authors teach you that our Angels are anxiously waiting for us to ask them for divine guidance. Once you read this book, you will never feel alone or unloved again. You will never feel helpless or at the mercy of events. Read this book, it will change your life, it has changed mine.

The book is SO wonderful. I am a little more than half way through it now. I must say that I can relate different aspects of my life to all three of you. The thing that stands most true with you is that I always seem to get things “faster’” than others and that they are slower. That aspect of your book helped me greatly. With Kim, I have always felt that the person I see in the mirror isn’t me, there is someone else underneath. As for Teresa, I believe that I am most like her. While reading the book, I always felt in connection with her and a lot of things that she wrote sounded like something that I would write. I cannot tell you how much insight I have been receiving from the book. I have gotten a lot of great tips. I am hoping to one day hear the angel voices too. I would love to help others. So far, my angels speak to me in dreams and I have auto written once. I know exactly what you mean by miracles being more than a healing or someone raising from the dead. I have spurts of miracles happen to me all the time now ever since I have attempted to be in contact with the angelic realm.

I can’t begin to express how magical my dreams were after reading a set of pages from your book last nite!!! I knew, absolutely, that angels were with me all night, and much of today even. This blissful, sweet, heavenly beauty is the greatest peace I have ever felt!! There is another Kindergarten teacher from MN at my school. I had given her a daily angel motif calendar. She told me a month ago that she couldn’t wait every morning to rip the page off for the new days message on the calendar I gave her. So I told her about your book, and being a fellow Minnesotan, she is planning to order it. I am also doing beautiful Bob Silverstein’s numerology chart and e mailed him to share my awesome experiences with your book and told him it’s a must read. The angels work beautifully. They are helping look at things hard for me to handle, too, which is also a blessing. Your book is so helpful, and came at just the right time. Synchronicities are amazing. My deepest love in Peace and Power of the Angels to all three of you!

I am in the middle of reading your book right now. My good friend mailed me a copy. I am SO truly inspired. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I cannot wait till my communication further opens up with the angels. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with the universe. If I lived closer to you, I would be on your doorstep!!

I got your book. Happylooooyyyeeeeee I love it. Now I know how you knew me so well. You listen to them angels. Guess what happened today!!! I was at the computer store and I had just read the first 30 pages or so of your book . I was looking around for some software to buy and play with on my new computer. Well, I remembered some guidance I received last year to minister to the deaf. I began taking sign language classes and it kinda waned and the teacher got sick but I enjoyed what I had learned. Still doubting my guidance that I could really do anything towards that goal. Well, I suddenly had the thought in my mind about guidance and synchronicity as you talked about in the book. My eyes were scanning the bookshelf and I thought –almost as a test—well if I am to do this kind of work I will find a CD to help me with no effort—boom—one second later my eyes came across the American Sign Language CD! Just what I had been studying. I can take a hint. I picked it up and brought it. Isn’t that cool. That was unmistakable!!!! I want a session with you Barbara. I don’t care how long I have to wait.

Hello from a sorority sister. I have a copy of your book Diaries of a Psychic Sorority given to me by Renee Corbin, a friend of Kim Phelps. Reading your book is like reading about myself, except without the connections with others. I would like to find out more about you and about Synergy Alliance. I am having a very intense session with “the angels” today. Iif we are to truly reach our culture, we need to use the tools of the culture and come up
with some sound bites. Some marketing material. Brief and to the point. I know the energy I’m getting from the “Angels” is very strong right now. I picked up some books of people recounting their encounters with Angels, and I recognized an event in my life as a time when I was an angel to some people at a severe time of crisis in their lives. I saw the movie City of Angels and knew that I knew what it felt like to “fall to earth.”

I have to say that i wasn’t expecting such a sweet and personal response to my
letter. Makes me feel special. I am very hesitant when it comes to talking with people about angels, because I have such a strong testimony of angels and have found that not many others do. I rarely speak of the subject anymore because of the looks people usually give me whenever I tell them how I feel. I have had my own personal angel in my life now for about 3-4 years. I have a special one who I have learned to tune into and can hear her speak to me at any given time. She has become a part of my every day life, she guides me and comforts me. When I am faced with a serious problem or crisis she tells me when not to worry and why. I’m looking for other people like me, how do you find them? Are their other e-mail penpals out their looking for others like them?

I got your book and tape yesterday, and I must tell you, I couldn’t put it down. Between your life and Kim’s and Teresa’s, my life story was being told. The early dysfunctional setting in the home, making poor choices in partners and always getting my heart broken, severe depression after the birth of my last baby and most of all the feeling of not fitting in … anywhere…always lacking…never good enough. And the intense turmoil in my life over the last three years. I have tried to commit suicide twice in my life ….never giving a clue ahead of time to a soul…miraculously living anyway. I can only hope in my wildest dreams that this is a beginning to a heightened awareness. I feel the angels, but I do not know how to communicate with them. I feel God’s presence always. But, yet, I still wonder of my purpose in life. I hurt so deeply and so often. I am too sensitive for this life. I have always known I am here to help people, which I feel I am doing through nursing. But that doesn’t make life any easier for me. The book is easy to read and become consumed in. I especially like reading all about you, girlfriend . I hope that someday I will get to meet you in the flesh! I am on about page 50 or so. The tape is wonderful, your voice and the words are soothing deep down to my soul. I cannot thank you enough for this gift.

The book arrived in less than a week. It was in perfect shape and was signed by the author to boot!! I recommend other books authored by Barbara With. My life has been transformed, knowing there are not only angels watching over me but they are also whispering words of love and support in my ear. Now when someone asks “How are you?” I glibly respond: “Oh, I’m just riding the wave!”
