I'm particularly fond working with these angels. But they work with what you give them. For example they will teach you but they won't download the information to your head. They'll give perhaps the clearest perspective and comprehension if you are bludgeoning yourself with unrelenting effort and study with a willingness to transcend your current state. These ones are particularly gifted at matters cerebral.
Anything less and I wouldn't bother. Angels don't half-ass anything. At best they'll ignore you, worst case you'll fail to a level you never expected. More likely nothing.
Assuming you are working your ass off, I posted in the other thread the best way I know of to approach them.
Apart from the huge variance in the nature of spirits...there are some very general rules with magic. Magnifying your sphere by way of that which is above is only a good idea if you have things moving in the right direction. Otherwise it's clusterfuck time.
Going in the wrong direction with bulldozer just makes a bigger mess
