always aware that it was possible to create a mood by means of dramatic stage effects. But | could not account for the sense of close inner relationship | felt with the players in that play. A wonderful celebration of joy in one another's presence took place on the green after the plays. All these brothers from many worlds were happy to see each other again, and to have the opportunity to exchange news and experiences from their home planets. | could not say how long all this lasted. As the life-giving rays of their great 'sun' touched our bodies with pleasant warmth, so the spirit-lifting power of this mutually edifying social time touched our souls with inner satisfaction. After a while we returned and once more went inside of the large mushroom-shaped building. Here, we found the brothers were gathering together in great numbers. A wonderful aroma, such as of blossoms in springtime, filled the air. The beautiful young woman from the higher realms was there before us all, smiling and majestic. And at her side was a man of magnificent bearing. | recognized Him as the One who had appeared to me in the form of a light apparition, one night after Raphael's annunciation. As at that time, He was clothed in white, had blue eyes, chestnut-hrown hair and beard, and appeared to be about thirty years of age. With them, were a number of men and women, of striking, yet unassuming, beauty, whose gracious and reverent demeanor aroused feelings of great respect. Now all eyes were turned expectantly toward the exalted lady of the universe and toward the Lord, who was about to speak. "Love be unto all the children of the Heavenly Father," He said, "and peace to the people of good will from the Earth!" His words commanded the total attention of everyone present. "| gave my life for my lambs on Earth," He continued in loving tones that went straight to the heart. "| received the power from my Father to lay down my life and to take it up again. That is the assignment that was given to me by my Father in Heaven." His beneficent glance turned toward the queenly person beside Him. She looked at Him, and again for many minutes the response of joyous acclamation swept in waves across the crowd. "Soon," He said, turning again to the audience in the great hall, "we will be able to say to the people of Earth that all the Scriptures have been fulfilled. Scon, | will make all things new, and, according to the promises, there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth. These | will bring into being, in accordance with my Heavenly Father's will." "You," He said in a firm and gentle voice, “are my friends and my brothers. With you | will bring together all my children from all times, and everything will be fulfilled in accord with the Father's laws of universal love. Justice will reign, and all will see and recognize the truth. Out of respect for the Father's great gift of freedom to all of His children, we gave only love, deeds of kindness, and words of life to those who also worked against us, to smother the happiness of truth and stifle the joy of our heart and to cause us much suffering and pain. We took this suffering upon ourselves, as we also do willingly today, because we want to share in the suffering of God the Father. But, above all, we have determined to give the word which would show the right path for man to take, and which would, through its power, bring the gifts of understanding and everlasting life. Many children of God the Father have spread my words to the people of Earth; they reveal the thoughts and heart of the Creator. Therefore, they are not always loved and esteemed by those who do not honor the Father's truth.” "Many prophets preceded My coming to the world of the children of Earth. When | did come, | was called the Word by those who were my own, and who received me. | told them who | was, and was delivered unto death. | showed myself in this body, which was able to go through the walls of the Earth-dweller's houses, and | ate with them, in order to show them | 72 ANGELS IN STARSHIPS www.cosmic-people.com
