9 Wisdom of Angels

THE PLACE OF GREAT SOULS We sat in silence for a while after Sarah had departed with her angel, thinking that our next visit would soon begin, but presently the Ruby Angel pressed upon our minds that he would give us further teaching before this took place. It had no particular bearing, he explained wordlessly, … Read more

SARAH’S PICTURE “Shall we go on a round of visits now?” suggested our angel. “I would like you to learn more of Heaven-sight.” “How would a round of visits help us to learn that?” I asked, and Janet said: “We know a little of extended Heaven-sight…” “Oh, the Ruby Angel intends to take us on … Read more

DEGREE OF DIGNITY “Let us go now to the Place of Trees,” the Ruby Angel suggested. “It is time you attained to the Degree of Dignity.” “Oh, what is that?” I asked, while Janet turned her face to his. Our angel smiled. “I cannot help seeing the picture in you minds! You think of gowns … Read more

THE GREEN PASTURE How peaceful was the time that followed! Our dear angel said we had had quite a lot of teaching and had used up a deal of energy in all our visits and so we must be refreshed. “We shall visit the Garden of Serenity and walk awhile in the Green Pasture,” he … Read more
