The unvarying uniformity
of these Beings was like snowflakes falling heavily through white
floods of snow, laden with heaven-sent whiteness and bulk, but just
like each snowflake is different in its own perfection and intricacy
and pattern, each of these angels had a completeness and unity within
itself while being part of an undisturbed harmonious whole, a quiet
splendor.
The intensity of this experience stemmed from the heightening
of the senses and the use of a sense beyond our known senses and
perception. The snowflake and all other small parts of this earthly
universe had become much more intense, having more meaning, because
of this overflow of intensity, understanding and awareness in quiet,
of the existence of these spiritual beings.
Their bodily immobility and the gracefulness of their perfect
placidity, this lack of needless motion enabled no interference
to their ability to project the message. As in an illness,
our bodies, through lack of motion, allow our minds to see with
much more clarity, it was through this that they centralize their
spiritual nature.
A summary of the qualities most dominant in the vision:
1. Communication-Ability to project message through a sense we
don't ordinarily use; no language but a unity of understanding;
a union in a different sense than seeing, hearing, speaking.
2. Harmony-Lack of interference with communication; no motion apparent
disturbing the strength and power and stability; poise; lack
of any ineffectual motion in concentration of motion in circular
movement; no disturbance of simplicity of motion directed to giving
message; the actions completely subordinated to constant flow in
ordered procession; the movement closer of the angel in the center
did not stop the train of movement of cloud. Particles simply became
magnified and closer and then farther away. It was not like any
motion we ourselves, as humans, use in our movements through space.
3. Intelligence-A knowing not striven for, already there; a learning
not gradual, but instantaneous; no reasoning, no hesitation or struggle
to apprehend; simple apprehension; a truth, a reality; a living
vital knowing, not learning.
Next, I wanted very badly to put this beautiful vision down on
paper so that it would be a remembrance to me of the happiness I
had felt during that vision, visitation, or whatever it can be called.
I made a little sketch on a little piece of paper I had
around the house and used just a plain, ordinary pencil, but into
that picture I put every line and every feature that I could have
seen and remembered, as clearly as I possibly could. Unfortunately,
I tried so hard that I smeared the central angel's face and couldn't
get the feet crossed the way they really were. Then I wanted so
badly to make a large painting out of it because it was so beautiful.
I wanted others to see it, and I wanted to be able to put it into
color, but I was tired, and I didn't have any real desire to do
anything much.
