place. | excused myself to the others, and said | did not know what to make of it. The brothers gave no indication that they knew of our anxiety. The fog was beginning to close in on us, and | made the suggestion that we return to the autos and wait for some sort of direction. | had made my recommendation when | heard telepathically the trustworthy voice of Raphael saying something | had heard many times before: "O you of little faith!" he said in a kindly manner, "How easily you become faint-hearted. Have patience! In the meantime, we will send you a little sunshine!" A moment later the fog began to lift and a pleasant sun warmed the air, so that the temperature rose noticeably. | felt indeed like a man of weak faith, and determined to drop my impatient frame of mind immediately. We all climbed higher on the trail until we reached the place where | had turned around earlier. The sky had turned blue again, and the dark cloud formations withdrew over the horizon. We had become quite jovial; Nico even felt like laughing aloud for sheer joy, just to realize that a contact with the space brothers had been made. We sat down on the grass, and | marveled at the extraordinary beauty of the landscape, the pines and ferns, and the profusion of shrubs and flowers. | took delight in the variety of color of the grasses, which were no longer as tender as in springtime, yet still showed their young freshness. While each in his own way was absorbed in contemplation of this festival of nature, suddenly Gianna shouted, "Look—the sun!" The light all around us had grown noticeably dimmer. In front of the sun a large globe or disc circled in undulating fashion, creating the impression that the sun itself was beginning to rotate. At first, | was afraid, but then | watched with calm fascination while the light rays seemed to dance and play over all the surroundings. "If you had looked toward the sun earlier," said Raphael in cosmic contact, "you could have seen us sooner. But now, we wish to bring you greetings of God the Father, The Creator of the sun, which gives life to the Earth, in accordance with His will." In utter amazement we watched the dramatic spectacle before us, comparing observations excitedly from time to time. Nico had his sun glasses with him, so we all tried using them to observe the rotating globe. In that way, one could see more clearly how the object moved over the sun's disc with a circular motion. It gave the impression of seeing the sun itself wobbling on its axis. This phenomenon continued for some time, and | sat down on the grass to rest. Tina came over to me, and, in hushed voices, we talked together about this sign we were seeing. "The word apocalypse," she said, "frightens me, in spite of the fact that it was carefully explained to us that we have nothing to fear. The important thing is, that people all over the world change their ways of thinking and acting toward one another, if they are to be saved." Hoping to encourage her, | said, "If we fix our minds on the wonderful works of creation, and on the power of love to serve and to save, we will best be able to help others, and will also be helping ourselves." Gianna said she believed in the triumph of universal love, which is stronger than all the power of evil in the world, Nico spoke of justice, and said it was hard for him to see why anyone would think of it as punishment. Thus, each one expressed his or her convictions. 48 ANGELS IN STARSHIPS www.cosmic-people.com
