promised. (2) CHAPTER 2 | had lain down for a short rest at noontime. Just as | was falling asleep, a clear picture loomed up before my eyes. | saw a forest, its trees, underbrush, and a meadow with a path dividing it. | felt a deep peace come over me. As | was waiting for some insight into what | had just experienced, | heard the voice of Raphael saying to me, “Mark well the place! You should be able to recognize it in the future; it is the place of our meeting". Then everything disappeared, leaving me with a feeling of calmness and inner peace. | sought to determine the manner in which the promised meeting would take place, and thought that perhaps the next manifestation of Raphael's presence might take place, not within the walls of my dwelling, but outdoors in a natural setting. That seemed to me an answer, yet | sensed that it was not all. | remembered that Raphael had said, "You will see me again". / decided to wait patiently. On the night of April 23. 1980, the angel said to me, "In the early afternoon of the day after tomorrow, you will drive in your car to Finale Ligure. There you will learn what to do next. Greetings, in love!" Casting all doubts aside, | set out on the appointed day. The Riviera was crowded with pleasure seekers, out for a weekend holiday at the seashore. Having arrived at Finale, | no longer had any problems, for the voice of Raphael came promptly to tell me the way. "You must go to Calice," he said, "and from there continue on toward the mountain. There you will receive further instructions to guide you to the place of the meeting." As | drove along the winding roads of the valley, | could not be certain whether | was proceeding from my own volition, or if a higher will was urging me on, or a curiosity stronger than all my fears, or the joyous anticipation of a meeting which | sensed might take place. The puzzle remained: | could not understand why | had been invited to go there. Following telepathic instructions, | had turned to the right, and was now driving through another valley, which widened and narrowed in irregular fashion as | pressed forward in the late afternoon sunlight. | drove until | was told to leave my small car, a Fiat 500, and go on the rest of the way by foot. After finding a suitable spot to park my car, just off the paved road, | set off on a path leading up an incline and continued to follow the inner voice that directed me whenever | had the slightest doubt. Ascending the slope, | was soon completely out of breath, but whether this was because | was not used to such climbs, or because of the excitement of the unknown, | could not say. My heart was in my throat. | stood still. At that moment | heard Raphael's voice saying, "Do not be afraid. Rest a little while, and then go farther. You will soon feel renewed." 11 THE CHOSEN PLACE FOR THE MEETING | did as he said, and felt myself as if bathed in a healing stream. Thus strengthened and ANGELS IN STARSHIPS www.cosmic-people.com
