Preview - Angels of the Cosmos

from Chapter 1: Boarding the Space Vessel
Page: 2/4

Ah, what a beautiful day! I stretched out my arms and looked up at the sky. No longer was there a separate heaven or Earth; no longer was there a me standing between them. At that moment I felt that I had merged wholly with heaven and Earth in a state of perfect harmony. An indescribable feeling of warmth welled up from the depths of my soul and pervaded my entire being.
When I happened to glance in the direction of the prayer hall, I noticed someone heading toward me from the entrance. Hmm, someone is coming, I thought to myself. As I took a few steps in that direction, four or five people came over to where I stood. My eyes met those of the person in front and, to my surprise, I sensed that this was a very close friend. I looked at each of the others and felt the same closeness with them too. Moreover, I received the clear impression that they, too, were feeling the very same familiarity with me. Their emotions were directly transmitted to my heart.
I was utterly overjoyed but did not know what to say or how to say it. Memories of the far off past flashed through my mind one after another. I first thought that they were memories from my childhood, but I realized they must have been from a time much earlier than that. I tried to remember the names of these people and, although they were almost within reach of my memory, they would not come to the surface of my consciousness. But how happy I was to see these people again! I was beside myself with joy to be reunited with my five friends.
I was also surprised to find that all five people who stood around me held not the faintest trace of gloom or darkness. The honesty and clarity of their souls were obvious to me at a glance. I was wholly taken by the integrity that shone through in their appearance!
I do not remember what words I spoke but I found that we were naturally able to sense each other’s intentions without any need for words.
Among these five friends, I will call the eldest one with the sturdiest physique Mr. M. He was about three years older than I.
We would like to invite you to come with us on board a space vessel, said Mr. M.
Really? I exclaimed. But... but... is it possible for me to do that?
Yes, of course it is, Mr. M replied with perfect confidence. I will see to it.
Mr. M may have perceived the half-doubts that I felt in my mind when I listened to his reply because he then produced a suit, which he held out to me, saying, Here, you can put this on.
What is it? I asked.
It’s a space suit, he replied.
It looked like a captain’s uniform. It was light brown and had the texture of fine silk. The inside was lined with a material that resembled rubber. The cap had an antenna-like object attached to it.
This is for you, Mr. M said as he casually handed the suit to me.
As we spoke, I sensed Mr. M’s perfect dedication to his work. There was not a trace of Earthly greed about him. Rather, there was an air of angelic purity surrounding him. I was convinced that he and his four companions were angelic beings who had descended to Earth.
