Although we are already attuned to this through the review we all make every evening, human beings are not capable of recognizing this so clearly with their physical consciousness. These beings emerging from the depths also enable us to see clearly what habitual faults and wrong thinking produce in us. The beings that appear to us in bluish-violet light and show us our mistakes belong to the Angeloi, while the higher ones, the reddish-yellow light figures who pronounce judgment on him like punitive justice, belong to the Archangeloi. These experiences can also come to people in other ways, namely through sounds and tones. This is even more frightening and much harder to bear when the Archangel pronounces his judgment in a thunderous voice. But when a person has reached this hour, which comes after he has had the apparition with the guardian of the threshold, then he must have overcome his fear.
