SHAY: When did you become a guardian?
EDWARD: Oh....so long ago that it doesn't really matter anymore.
SHAY: What took you into this line of work?
EDWARD: I always wanted to do it. There was never a time when I didn't want to help folks, you know, look over them. My whole mindset from the beginning of the beginning was that if someone needed me, I would be there. I guess you could say I have a hero complex.
SHAY: So, how many folks have you looked after?
EDWARD: More than none, less than infinite. As things change, there are always opportunities.
SHAY: Opportunities?
EDWARD: Yeah, there's always someone in need of help. And we never miss it....never.
SHAY: So what does a typical day consist of for you?
EDWARD: Movement, lots of movement. Things happen so fast in our world compared to yours. It’s almost as if there's no point in comparing the two. I can be in millions of places at once in your time.
SHAY: Could you give us an idea of what actions you perform during an "Earth day"?
EDWARD: Sure. Sometimes I'm creating a wave, a wave of water I mean. This wave might start 2,000 miles from the destination it’s meant to arrive at. And the whole point of the wave might be just to move a few grains of sand so that a small insect might find a grain of food that it would otherwise overlook.
SHAY: So what you're saying is that you do things differently than humans do?
EDWARD: Well, yeah, but not completely. You all work together to achieve a common goal, as do we.
SHAY: So what's your goal?
EDWARD: Sure. Sometimes I'm creating a wave, a wave of water I mean. This wave might start 2,000 miles from the destination it’s meant to arrive at. And the whole point of the wave might be just to move a few grains of sand so that a small insect might find a grain of food that it would otherwise overlook.
SHAY: So what you're saying is that you do things differently than humans do?
EDWARD: Well, yeah, but not completely. You all work together to achieve a common goal, as do we.
SHAY: So what's your goal?
EDWARD: To fulfill the will of God.
SHAY: And you have no other goal but this?
EDWARD: None.
SHAY: I've always wondered about the will of God. Could you tell me about it in more detail?
EDWARD: It flows through me like blood flows through human veins. Without it I don't exist.
SHAY: Have you ever seen God?
SHAY: And you have no other goal but this?
EDWARD: None.
SHAY: I've always wondered about the will of God. Could you tell me about it in more detail?
EDWARD: It flows through me like blood flows through human veins. Without it I don't exist.
SHAY: Have you ever seen God?
EDWARD: Of course, I'm looking at Him right now.
SHAY: So angels are always looking at God.
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Why?
EDWARD: We need to.
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Why?
EDWARD: We need to.
SHAY: Why?
EDWARD: I'm sorry, I can't answer that.
SHAY: Why not?
EDWARD: The answer to that question cannot be conveyed in words. Only through faith can the answer to that question be understood.
EDWARD: The answer to that question cannot be conveyed in words. Only through faith can the answer to that question be understood.
SHAY: That's fine, I'll move on. I've always thought that guardians are assigned to certain people, is that true?
EDWARD: Of course.
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Do you all only watch over one person?
EDWARD: Sometimes.
SHAY: But not all the time?
EDWARD: No. There can be teams.
SHAY: Teams of angels?
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: But if you guys are so powerful, why would more than one angel be required to look over any one person?
EDWARD: Different strengths. Some of us have skills that others don't.
SHAY: So angels are not omnipotent?
EDWARD: Sometimes.
SHAY: But not all the time?
EDWARD: No. There can be teams.
SHAY: Teams of angels?
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: But if you guys are so powerful, why would more than one angel be required to look over any one person?
EDWARD: Different strengths. Some of us have skills that others don't.
SHAY: So angels are not omnipotent?
EDWARD: No, only God is omnipotent.
SHAY: What about Jesus?
EDWARD: If you ever interview Him, maybe you can ask Him.
SHAY: I'll remember that. So, what brought you here to be interviewed for this book?
EDWARD: Orders.
SHAY: Orders from God?
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: What about Jesus?
EDWARD: If you ever interview Him, maybe you can ask Him.
SHAY: I'll remember that. So, what brought you here to be interviewed for this book?
EDWARD: Orders.
SHAY: Orders from God?
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Wow, I'm flattered. Why did He ask this of you?
EDWARD: The usual reason.
SHAY: Which is?
EDWARD: Evolution of mankind.
SHAY: Wow, that's a pretty hefty statement. Quite a few religious folks don't believe in that. Why should they believe what you say?
EDWARD: It'll speak to them if they're meant to hear it.
SHAY: That's not much of an answer. Can you get a little deeper?
EDWARD: Nope. That's all that's required, so that's all I'll give.
SHAY: Okay, on to the next topic...
EDWARD: I'm sorry, there will be no more topics for me.
SHAY: You have to go?
EDWARD: Yes.
SHAY: Will I get to interview more of you?
EDWARD: Of course.
SHAY: Why?
EDWARD: That answer will be revealed to you in time.
EDWARD: The usual reason.
SHAY: Which is?
EDWARD: Evolution of mankind.
