It takes practice to spot angelic presences. But practice alone is not enough, unless one can practice being taken by surprise.
~ from SOUL MAKING by Alan Jones
There are lights which ascend and lights which descend. The ascending lights are the lights of the heart; the descending lights are those of the Throne. The false self is the veil between the Throne and the heart, like springs toward like. Light ascends toward light and light descends upon light, and "it is light upon light."
