to me that the love which these beings felt toward us was truly unconditional. They were ready to do everything possible in order to help us, even to be one with us on Earth. "When you read the Bible," said Raphael in spirit, "you will find it is written: 'Be not forgetful to be hospitable to strangers, for in so doing some have entertained angels unawares." He continued on his walk, his companion at his side. | followed after them, outwardly showing no particular interest, but | thought deeply about these words of scripture. | could scarcely believe that | was being privileged to experience these things which were so clearly stated there. Raphael continued, "Although we were received with love and respect by the brothers of Earth in former times, that would not be the case today. On Earth, as we have said before, there is less love than the air you breathe." Then he said something, as if he were reassuring someone, and added,to me, "Today we cannot show ourselves openly. Whoever will believe in the goodness and truth of our message, will do so because he finds a parallel within his own heart. Those who choose not to believe will also find ample evidence of our presence in their midst. There will come a time when we can show ourselves openly; then our joy will be great indeed!"

The travellers of the light did not make us wait for them very long. We saw Raphael, and with him were Firkon, Orthon, Kalna and Ilmuth. They came nearer and greeted us most heartily. We sat down in the grass. From up here we could see the valley lying before us, and, in the background, the sea. A few meters behind us, began the trees of the forest. Raphael gave a quick glance toward Firkon, and | understood that he was asking him to begin speaking. And so Firkon began, in his characteristically lively manner. "When we say to you that our starships travel rapidly about the universe, this must not be understood to mean that we travel in material regions only. The universe contains boundless regions beyond the material one that you know. The only dimension that is observed by your science is the material. The cosmic dimensions, however, are so rich in number and variety, that you cannot have the faintest idea about them. It would take a great deal of time and knowledge to begin to appreciate what we are telling you. In no way can you, with mere fantasy, comprehend more than the smallest part of such a grand reality." Firkon waited to allow some of that which had just been said to penetrate our understanding. | saw how attentively the space brothers, sitting around us, were listening. 34 EXPLANATIONS AND TEACHING ANGELS IN STARSHIPS www.cosmic-people.com
