19871003.2220

I meant to add* that if I were to see an Angel, I should expect on the Spiritual Plane to see a pure Light – the Spirit – illuminating from within a cloud of more or less {translucent}** and possibly (faintly) coloured form*** following [sic] around it – the Soul.

On the Material Plane, I should expect to see a Human body, whether of Saint or Angel, but showing distinct traces of the same illumination (and possibly colour) from within through**** the skin, and especially in the eyes. And this is, indeed, how I have seen them for many years, with the Inner vision and occasionally, so it seemed, with the outer – but who can tell?#

*[See last previous entries, [Redbook4:85-86][19871003:1650]{Angels}[3rd October 1987]ff.]

**[Original ms has “opaque” and a marginal note: “I meant translucent <891001>”.

But cf. [Redbook4:97][19871005:0940]{The Dynamic Independence of Angels}[5th October 1987], 1^st para..]

***generally the form of Man, I think.

****[Through, not of, NB; this is refracted, not reflected, light.]

#(i.e. Who can tell to what extent the outer vision is affected by the inner?)
